Newspaper Page TextPAGE SIX ' By Jean rESTCltlMr: ot reMixcs Brenda lor "cnrryino on" sella Sultus. Then Mac teams her lo kp out of tl Abtmathy af air, and finally Jttmer, himitlf, enorily reproaches ier. Chapter IS I lie Case Against Ned "1VHEN I herd Ned had ikipped ' to California without o much as goodby to Alaine, ! began to ask some questions," Abner went on. "It didn't take long to And out who had talked to him last. I can put two and two together and make four, even if I don't come from New York!" He wa out of the city limiti by now and driving furiously. Brenda was interested to see with what skill he handled the small car despite his evident anger at her. She said soothingly: "Ab, I wish you'd tel! me why you're so set against Alaine's mar rying Ned Barrow. If she loves him, I mean? What do you have (gainst him?" "Plenty." The fight you and ha had eer eral years ago?" He took his eyes from the road long enough to send her a glance of scorn. "So he told you about that, too. did he? I suppose you know when he cut his first tooth, and what his arrade in chemistry was when he graduated! No, if you must know: it has nothing to do with that fight I'd forgotten it myself. I have" he spoke with great dignity "good and sufficient rea sona of my own why I oppose why I always shall oppose my lister i marriage to Barrow. She was slightly impressed In spite of his youthful appearance. "Everybody else sneaks well of him," sh began. "Judge Harper That old eoatl What does he know about Barrow or Alaine and me. for that matter! She said neatly: "I notice you go straight to him every time Alaine threatens to elope. You evidently value the old goat's help in an emergency." He had the grace to redden. "Well, I do. He's a nice old goat, if you get what I mean; but he's old. Barrow and I are are con temporaries. "You mean you know something about Ned Barrow that other people don't? Something that in your opinion rules him out as a husband for Alaine?" "You can put it that way if you Want to. "What is it?" she asked simply "Never you mind what it is! Yoa can take it from me Alaine can take it from me that he's not the right man for a suiter of mine. She smiled and shook her head "I'm afraid you'll have to be more specific, Ab, my dear! In this day and age girls want to know the truth about matters touching so closely on their own lives." He pressed his lips more firmly together. "I might tell you, but I'm not going to have Alaine know. Shes not one of your kind of girls modern, I mean," he added hastily. "I've had to be father and mother to her," he said solemnly, "and I've guarded and shielded her. I'm not going to have her know any more of the ugly facts of life than is strictly neces sary." His companion suppressed a smile. "Well. I've not been guard ed and shielded, so you can safely confide in me. And It's much better to have me your ally than your opponent, you know. What is this dreadful thing you know about Ned Barrow?" "He's supporting a woman!" he blurted. "A woman and a child his child, I haven't the least doubt Now, does that satisfy you that he isn't fit far Alaine?" The Whole Story . "IT would-lf I believed It to be 1 true." she commented thought fully. "But I wonder if it Is, Ab? I thoucht when I talked to him that I'd seldom seen a nicer or finer face than his. Isn't there any possibility you might be mis taken?" He felt In his pocket for his handkerchief and blew his nose scornfully. It was almost as though he had produced a trumpet to proclaim with a blast his con tempt for her girlish weakness. "Ask Mac if you don't believe me." he said finally. That silenced her. She remem bered the older man's words of the evening before. He had called the situation a "mess" and warned her to keep out of it Exactly the sort of thing a man a decent man who liked and felt a friendly re gard for a girl, a stranger would say if the facts were as Ab had preented them. "I think you had better tell me a little more about it," she in formed him at last 'The the details. I mean." "Very well! You might as well know the whole thing now. Mac ATTY. VANDENBERG Klamath Falls. May 10 i.V Circuit Judge Edward B. Ash urrt of Klamath Falls whose campaign was marked by old time political color will oppose David R. Vandenberg, Klamath Falls, attorney, for the 13th judicial post at the November election. Ashurt and Vandenberg were the top candidates In a five-man contest in Friday'a non partisan election. Lineman Killed Portland, May 20. OP) James Dunn. 30, stringing tip a private telephone line on Sau vies Island Sunday, was killed in a 32 loot tumble from a pole. Randall and I were in a drugstore down town one lay last summer. It was one of those places where every- ining on eann is lor Hi-wncii there's even a lending library. Mac and I were standing behind the rack of books, out or sight or the rest of the store. We both noticed eirl with a child kid about two, I guess. She stood watching the door. Mac found a biography he d been wanting to read so ne dipped into it and we weren't tiilkmu when when Barrow came in. The girl gave a little cry, and he came straight toward her. They talked I while and then she snm: un, nea, nave you moimni the money?" And he Just nodded didn't say a word. She wiped her eyes with her handkerchief and said something about needing to buy clothes for the child. I nudged Mac and we both saw Bar row take out a handful of bills and give them to her. Then he patted the kid on the head and went out But wait!" He hurried on aj though anticipating interruption. "That isn't all! She called the baby Edward! Now if you have any explanation of that besides the one Mac and I put on it go to it!" She looked grave. "How did he act? I mean was his manner nervous disturbed?" "It was furtive." he pronounced triumphantly. "He kept glancing over his shoulder and when he'd given her the money he got him self nut of that store in record time." "You never spoke to him about It?" Brenda asked. He said heartedly: "Of course I didn't! Barrow's morals are none of my affair not unless he tries to marry my sister." "But but surely the only right and just thing is to tell her Alaine, I mean. If this thing is true and I'm awfully afraid it is! then it will put an end forever to anvthing between her and Ned. "If it isn't " "I tell you I'm not going to have her mixed up in such a mess." was the dogged reply. "Alaine's different from most girls of her age. I've seen to that. Why even her bathing suits " He fell into bitter silence. Ridiculous Twins BHENDA remembered the low cut evening gown which hsd precipitated the Inst quarrel, and smiled to herself. These ridiculous twins! Alaine proclaiming her hour's seniority over Ab, Ab de claring he had to be father and mother tn his sister! They were absurd, they were incredible; but they were a little sweet and pathetic, too! "Well, Ab," she told him. "there seems only one thing to do. Since neither you nor Mac will ask Ned about this girl, I'll do It myself. Certainly if he is support ing another woman the mother of his child he mustn't marry Alaine." "Do you fhlnk he'll admit It He'll Just lie to you; put you off with some story, and you'll believe in him stronger than ever." Brenda stiffened. "You forget that my profession Is founded on psychology, Abl I think I can tell when I'm listening to the truth or otherwise" "Maybe you can." he muttered. "Maybe you can; but I'm here to tell you I'm going to keep right on fighting Ned Barrow away from Alaine, no matter what ha tells you!" .The y finished the drive In com parative silence. The hills which had looked so blue from a distance were scrubby and uninteresting at close sight. Brenda returned to the house angry at herself for having olfered Barrow her help, angry at him for what Ab was pleased to refer to as "his past life," most of all angry at Mae for knowing that she had inter fered in the matter. The next afternoon she con sulted Hugh Saltus about it He was standing before his desk, his busy pennl doing fascinating things which ordinarily would have occupied all Brenda's at tention. His mouth locked a little more bitter than usual, his eyes less mirthful. Evidently the world was not behaving itself as it should so far as the artist was concerned. "So there It Is," the girl fin ished. "I do think It would make a grand marriage for her Judge Harper says those crazy twins put all their extra capital into the farm and that they spend most of their income on plants and fer tilizer for it. But of course if this young Barrow is actually support ing another woman " "At least it's to his credit that he's supporting her!" "Hugh, that's a very unethical view fur you to take of the matter." she said severely. "Either she has a legal claim on him, or she hasn't If she has then he should marry her. If she hasn't, then he shouldn't be blamed for what may simply be charity. And anyway, you're not being the least' help to me. What shall I do about it all?" 1'anUnaed tomorrow SELECTS OFFICERS Southern Oregon College of Frlucatlon, Ashland, May 20 (Special) At the annual elec tion of "Indent body officers on Friday, the following were elect ed to take office in Scpteniler of this year: President, Charles Siurgill of Ashland; vice presi dent.
