MEDFORD MATT TRIBUNE, MEDFOKD, OREGON, MONDAY, JANUARY 8, 1940. PAGE SIX YESTERDAY: Sue learnt mm Bob Trenton it president ot the new that iactory He begins o whirlwind wooing of Sut. Chapter Five I Love You' "VOU think Bob la Just amusing 1 himself with me?" she asked Forest "What else? You're tops here all right, i'ue darlin'. but stiil and all St Joseph isn't exactly metropoli tan, you have to admit It's my guess Trenton picks the village belle wherever his business takes him; and has himself a hefty goi.i time while it lasts. You said he was only giving you a rush I" The black curls bobbed assent lngly agains. his shoulder, but her eyes flung a welcome to the tall young man who was skating across thi floor toward her. She smiled mockingly at Forest's disgruntle ment as he surrendered her to the newcomer. "Cheer up!" she called as Tren ton swept her away. "Remember the Chamber of Commerce!" "What about the Chamber of Commerce?" Bob demanded. "No, you don't, Kettlel I just now took her away from Webb. Go on, Sue, tell me! Can't you and Forest And any more interesting things to talk about than business?" "You," she told him. "Me? Oh, I see!" His agile mind M fa r 'When will you made the connection at once. "The branch factory, eh? And Webb's father a director of the Chamber of Commerce. Plain as a pikestaff. Well," he dismissed the subject comfortably. "The factory's going through all right They can stop worrying about it." He evaded an approaching stag skillfully. "I like this town, Suel Shall we live here for a time at least?" "I shall," she said, emphasizing the pronoun significantly. "You must do as you think best of course." He sighed with exaggerated re lief. "That's settled thenl I'll close the deal tomorrow." "What deal? The factory?" "No, the house. A darned nice house It is, too, let me tell youl Swimming pool, landscaped grounds, everything. The poor chap that built it died in an air plane smash last winter" "Oh, you mean the Wilmington place out beyond tht Country Club? It Is a nice place, Bob. But a trifle targe for a bachelor?" 'Nonsense!' "BACHELOR, my Aunt Emma! Seriously, Sue, I think it's high time you were setting the date. We've known each other ages and ages" "Three long weeks, In fact" she said dryly. "Three weeks, or three years what does it matter? I love you and you love me" "But 1 don't!" "Don't love me? Nonsense!" He topped abruptly, opened a door and propelled her through It with a gentle hand on her shoulder. "I came early ,.nd scouted aroun to find this. Inhospitable soul, our hostess; not a light on." He pressed a button and Sue discovered they were in a small, book-lined room, clearly not intended to be used tonight Somebody's reading glasses were on the desk, there was a comfortable litter of mnga ilnes and papers on the narrow table. "Bob, we have no businer: in here!" "Your mistake, iweetl We have BY FALLING BARN Thompson Creek, Jan. 8. (Spl) S. L. Johnston had a nnr row escape January 2 when a freak wind visited his ranch, demolishing a big barn and top pling two large trees nenrby. Mr. Johnston was In the barn feeding stock when he heard the sudden onslaught of the gale. The stock stampeded out of the structure and the rancher also started for the outside but the barn came crashing down about him before he could es cape. Although pinned by heavy timbers, Mr. Johnston was soon pried loose by other members of his family, and found to have sustained no serious injuries. Glass wool is made from sil ica sand, soda ash and lime stone. It may or may not con tain scrape glass or other material. BY LOUISE PLATT HAUCK very Important business, If you ask me. Here tuck your little self on this couch while 1 turn off the high light and switch on this nice low lamD. If I muve this high- 1 backed chair so! between us and the door, we're fairly safe from discovery." In spite of herself her heart beats quickened a little. "It's too early in the evening for us to disappear like this," she protested. "Ever so many people will be looking for us both. Let's go back, Bob! "No." He spoke with finality. "We have things to talk about important matters to decide. When will you marry me, Sue?" She colored, more with annoy ance than ombarrassment "I won't. I don't love you, Bob I just finished tellin you so." "I didn't hear you. I'll never hear you when you talk nonsense like that. Of course you love me! How could you help it when I'm sc utterly mad about you?" She clasped her hands about her knees, rocking herself sideways to look at him through mischie vously lowered lashes. "You say that with suspicious glibness, my man! With practiced ease, in fact 'Utterly mad' about me, ha! You talk like a man in smart play." Something Like Fear HIS pleasant face grew a little hard. "I can do more than talk, Suel Don't tempt me too far. I'm 1N. f marry me, Sue?" putting a lot of restraint on my self as it is!" She had a moment ot something like fear. The men she knew, the men she had grown up among, did not tn.lt like this, look like this. She contrasted Forest Webb'i cheerful wooing, Jim Kettle's dig nified attentions, with this reck less young man's manner, and wished she were back amont the dancers. But it would never do to let nlm see she was impressedl Forest's remark about the village belle and crown prince stuff still rankled. If Bob Trenton thought he could breeze Into town with his stunning looking clothes, and his stunning looking car, and his car loads of flowers sent to any (jir) who momentarily attracted him, he was due for a jolt, that was all! She held her head a little highei and advised him lightly: "Keep on restraining yourself, my dear boyl It's good for you." "Sue, please! We're wasting time. I know what you're thinking just as well as if you said it, and it's rot, sheer rotl Some of Webb's provincialism, I'd be willing to bet I lost my heart to you the lirst time I sow you: that day on the river bluff, with the sunset behind you, and the darling little scowl on your darling little queer face. I knew then that I w s going to marry you! It wouldn't have mat tered if you'd been Mrs. Some-body-or-other even then. '. always get what I want always! And 1 want you more than anything in the whole world. I'll get you, sweet! Make no mistake about that. Of course you can mnke dif ficulties, tantalize me with a cat-and-mouse sort of game " "Bob, you're so conceited!" The accusation burst from her youth fully. "You talk as if any girl would give her eyetceth to get you. You talk aj If I were already In love with youl Well, I'm not! It wouldn't amuse me in the slightest to 'make difficulties,' as you call It. I like my life as it Is. I don't want to get married for long, long time; and even If I did, it wouldn't be you."

But on July 25, 1917, he enlisted in the United States army- and by September 7 he was commis sioned a captain in the air service. At Foggia, Italy, La Guardia took command of the American air forces there and was promoted from captain to major.
