MEDFORD MATT TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, JANUARY 7, 1&40
YESTERDAY: Th young man,
tchoit rar crashes into Sue's be
cause ot tad break, apologizes
abjectly. The next day he sends
her dozens of rota.
Chapter Four
'Crown Prince SturT
SUE deflected Maggie'i inquisi
tive questions by sending her
aiter receptacles (or the blossoms.
"Every vase we have In the
house and I doubt if they will be
enoughl Line 'em up on the
kitchen table, Mae darhn', and fill
'em with water, fll be out to ar
range these beauties by then."
She was trailing about the living-room
in her bathrobe when
the telephone rang.
Tor you," Maggie laid briefly.
"I've waited Just at long aj I
can!" exclaimed an impatient
voice. "I've been sitting here
gnawing my nail down to the
quick until I thought you were
up. How are you?" It was no po
lite inquiry but an anxious de
mand (or news.
"All right, thank you but
nearly smothered in roses. Are
there any at all left in town?"
"Bother the rosesl Tell me
about you. Not stiff, not the least
bit bruised? How is your lip?"
"Perfectly all right. Praise be
to lipstick, it didn t show at all
last night Then the lateness of
the hour occurred to her and she
(aid curiously: "It's noon. Why
did you think you'd have to waft
so long to call me? You couldn't
have known I went to a party last
night!"
"I did though. I'm staying at
the Benton Club, and they were
talking of a Miss Webb's affair:
mentioned you as a friend of
hers."
"But how did you know who"
"Looked up your license num
ber, of coursel Sue, dear, when
may I come up and see for my
self how-"
"Heyl" she said aggrlevedly.
"You're not to call me Sue, with
or without descriptive adjectives.
We haven't met socially. I'm
sure that"
His disgusted voice Interrupted
her protest "What the dickens
does either of us care about the
social end of it? I all but mur
dered you yesterday. If that
doesn't give me a right to call on
you, I don't know what does!"
She began to laugh helplessly.
What a precipitant young man
this wasl
"I'm tempted to quote a popular
book title and say 'Stay Out of
My Life!' You're a violent sort of
person."
"Are you dressed? Had your
breakfast lunch? I'll ring your
bell on the stroke of three, he
told her, said goodby and hung
up before she could refuse her con
sent if she had been minded to.
It was, however, two and not
three o'clock when Maggie ad
mitted him.
"Thought you might give me the
slip," he informed her coolly,
handing the openly disapproving
old woman his hat ana gloves.
"There was not the forgiving note
in your voice I craved to hear. I
take it you're still simmering with
wrath toward me?"
She shook her head. "I wasn't
until you barged in here Just
now. How do you know I haven't
a weak heart? One shock right
after another like this "
"Don't Joke," he bade her stern
ly. "I tell you I didn't sleep a wink
all nichtl Every time I shut my
eyes I saw that confounded river
crawling below so terribly far
below! and you, a little thing
with a bit of scarlet silk around
your neck, curled up like a kitten
in your carl" Without waiting for
permission, he pulled forward a
chair close to where she sat. and
subsided heavily into It "I've had
some scares in my time, but never
like thntl If you'd gone over that
blulT I'd have sent my car after
you, give you my word!"
Sue frowned. Maggie was, she
knew perfectly, hovering close to
the kitchen door. She had been
Sue's nurse years ago and still
preserved an attitude of authority
toward the girl. She would report
this to Allen, and Allen would be
annoyed, and there would be an
end to the solitary visits she paid
to Wycth Hill.
Young Business Man .
THAT would have been most
sensible!" she said hitinfflv.
"And now may we forget the
whole affair? You see for your
self I'm whole and unscathed.
You've apologized adequately, not
to say profusely! with roses. Her
eyes roved about the flower be
decked room. "1 take it for
granted you're merely passing
through the town"
He shook his head, the serious
ness of his manner already gone.
"Never take anything for granted
In this day and age. Sue darling!
Far from passing through I'm
about to become one of your most
promising young business men.
Hadn't you heard? Does the name
Trenton mean nothing to you?
I'll wager it does to your brother.
'Trenton's Treadonj. Do I make
myself clear?
"The new shoe factory!"
"A bull's-eye, no less. I'm HI"
"The whole factory?"
"Practically now." His face
sobered "Mv father died several
months ago. He was president of
the concern. 1 m more or less

then I was busy settling Dad's
affairs in the East and that's
how I happened to lend my .-ar to
this guy who wanted to do some
folklore research in the Ozarks."
He leaned back as though he felt
he had completed a detailed auto
biography in those few Jerky sen
tences. "Okay, Miss Davenport?"
They surveyed each other
frankly, slim, dark-eyed girl and
blue-eyed stalwart man. A for
giving grin began to twitch at the
corners of Sue's lips. There was
an endearing frankness about thic
Trenton person; a trustful belief
in the goodwill of the world to
ward his appreciative self which
was hard to resist.
"That's right!" he encouraged
her. "In the words of the song:
'smile, smile, smile!' You look
much, much nicer when you
smile. All dark people do. There's
a touch of grimness in knitted
black brows, did you know it?
And I have no intention of begin
ning what is going to be one of
the most charming friendships
that ever came into my life with
grimness."
"You take a lot for granted, Mr.
Trentonl"
"Bob," he corrected. "It's one of
the easiest of all names to pro
nounce. Even a baby can say it
Sue now is harder. The sibilant
sound presents certain difficulties
which do not appear to be sur
mounted before the second or
third year or so my married
friends tell me. Not that I've ever
known any girl named Sue; but I
had an Aunt Susan"
She was too young not to -chuckle
at his blithe audacity. En
couraged by the sound, he beamed
at her.
"Now we're getting some
place!"
Effortless Ease
ALMOST before his roses were
faded. Bob Trenton had be
come an intimate of the little
household. It was accomplished
with the effortless ease character
istic of him.
"Met a peach of a guy today,"
Allen had announced that first'
night He interrupted himself
amazedly. "Golly, look at the
flowers! You and Kettle settled it
between you?"
She dimpled at him as she un
folded her napkin. "Jim? Jim
would regard such a display as in
the worst possible taste. It's a new
man." A sudden thought occurred
to her. "Maybe it's your man,
Allen your peach of a guy. This
town's not so large that he could
remain undiscovered long; not a
shrinking violet like Bob Trenton,
anyway 1
"Trenton! That's the namel
Trenton's Treadon Shoes, you
know. But he's only been here a
day or so, he tells me. How come
the lavish floral offering?"
"He bumped into me yesterday
afternoon," she answered, pru
dently suppressing the details.
"No harm done, but the roses are
a peace offering."
"I asked him out to dinner to
morrow night All right?"
"All right," she said demurely.
She was young enough to enjoy
meeting this personable young
man before her friends, did The
town's social set was small and
closely knit It would not be long
bcfoie Trenton was a part of It
And as the days went on, she was
amused and a little startled at his
whirlwind attentions to herself.
He had behaved from the first as
though he had some claim upon
her. If he had not informed him
self of her activities for the day
before he left tho previous eve
ning, his telephone call caught
her before she could leave the
house in the morning.
He made no secret of his devo
tion; rather invited attention to it
If she appeared at some function
with Jim Kettle, or Forest Webb,
or any other of the men who had
known her for years, Bob was al
ways to be found hovering neai
the door, awaiting her entrance.
Ho would join her as mattor-of-factly
as though it had been ar
ranged for him to relieve her es
cort of all responsibility toward
her.
"Who does he think he is. any
how?" Forest would growl. "Just
because he's Trenton of Trendons
with a Harvard accent and Lon
donmade clothes, doesn't give him
the right to monopolize you all
evening. Sue. Unless you're en
gaged?" he demanded.
bhe shook her nead. "ties Just
giving me a rush. And why on
earth do you let him bluff you.
Forest? He asked me to come
with him tonight and I told him
I'd already promised you. Whv
don't you stand up for yourself?1'
He grinned in frank defeat
"He's the white-headed bov of
the Chamber of Commerce, and
Dad and his friends won't have
him scared away; not while he's
negotiating for a branch factory
here, at all events."
"It's love you, love your Job, Is
It Forest?"
"You betl I hope to get married
one of these fine days, honey chile,
and 1 don't see old Allen turning
you over to a jobless husband. Be
sides, this Eastern guy will be on
his way pretty soon I hope and
trust! Just sit tight, and don't get
your head turned by all this
crown prince stuff."
"You think he's amusing him
self with me?" she asked in a
voire sweet enough to have
warned him.

Two years after a law was passed in 1874 authorizing U. S. mints to manufacture coins for
foreign countries, the Philadelphia mint struck coinage for Venezuela. Since then the U. S. hat
coined money for 18 different nations, says Director Nellie Tayloe Ross. Largest single order for
one denomination was received from Mexico, consisting of 60,000,850 fifty-centavo pieces, made in
1935.
