'AUGUST 2?. 1340. mEmoRy of i by Jeanne . .ILRDAY: Coslttncs wr uadcl reluctant Judge franck to reveal the Tayiori" plon. They vent to make the ranch into a dairy farm. Chapter 11 Friendly Enemy pONSTANCE thought quickly -... a dairy ranch, that was something she could run. And Michael had changed, ergo, the would adjust herself. "Judge." she amiled at the old man mistilv. "tell me about dairying and why you, think it the thing. "Surelv ." screed the old man, thinking only what an adorable child ahe was wun tier oiue-oiaca hair and tapphire blue eye. "With the railroad running through the ranch, you have meani of getting your product to market without aouDie nan dling. Your acres are extensive enough for dairy herd grazing be cause much of the food is pre pared r ash which li supposed to stimulate your herds to produce the maximum quantity of milk. "Your markets are more stable. The populace consumes a com paratively definite amount of milk products, butter, cream and cheese. You don't go into com petitive market, but sell to i cen tral depot, from where the bulk is distributed." Constance nodded. It sounded very simple. You merely ex changed your beef cattle for cows, sold their milk in gallon cans. Instead of on the hoof . . . and the cows were still on the ranch, instead of having to be re placed. "I wonder," ahe mused, "how much the Taylors were counting on investing in the turn-over." "Twenty thousand." answered the judge, promptly, then looked t his watc.i. "Hmmn. this talking of beef has certainly given me an appetite. Let's get us a steak." Twilight was blurring the square when thev left the office building. The narrow street where Dolores' friends lived, and where Dolores was happily en gaged In gossiping, was dull gray. But when they came out on the waterfront. Constance saw that the tun had left splotches of yellow on the incoming fog. and below it the olive-green waters of the bay heaved rest lessly. The cafe was low-ceillnged. filled with. roughly clad men, I few women and a thick curtain of smoke. Judge Franck Introduced Con stance to everyone they encoun tered as "Michael Mahoney't off ipring." Cattlemen, dairy men. seamen, loggers and railroad men bowed to Constance, and then the Judge came to a table where sat a large. woman who looked as thoueh she had stepped out of an English hunting print. "Here's someone who can tell you all about dairying." the Judge said. They joined thit Mrs. MacKel vev. and as they dined on suc culent steak, crisp French fries and fragrant coffee, Constance listened, looked and marveled. The woman waa the personifi cation of vitality. Her features were strongly cast but totally at variance with the slender, well f roomed hands. "I know." she aughed as she saw Constance looking at her hands. "I was a musician, then when Mac died I had to take over. Beef cattle were out In this section, to I took to dairving." In the end she Invited Con stance to visit her for a day or sn. "Though I warn vou." she said, "if there's a drop of the old Mick's blood In your veins, you'll never be the same after that visit." And then through the haze of moke. Constance saw a man come into the cafe and wondered t the wav life quickened Its'beat: at the sudden aura of romance which apread over the dusky room. Double Power DF.TE, old fellow." "Hi Pedro." "Taylor!" Voices shouted a welkin of greeting and hands reached out to clasn his, or D'lll him towards their table. "Now what." aked Constance of the ludte. to slide her disturb ance, "brings Pedro here?" Franck pushed hia platter back with a sigh of contentment. "Probably looking for informa tion." he answered. "If vou ever wnt to know any thing." elucidated Mrs. MacKel vev. "come in here and let the other fellow do the talking." Constance barelv heard her. Tavlnr wss making his wav to wards their tahl,.. His eves, with some unfnthorriable expression, were merting hers. How was she to treat hir-? He had become her enemy. And more than that he held double power, for she had to guard herself against this be wildering response of her heart to the man. as well as guard aeamst the shrewdness of his minit. What had Michael Mahonev done, how had he fought such friendlv enemies? The Judge had told her, chuckling: "He threw them off-guard with his affability until he had them in a rorner " Constance smiled at Peter Tay lor. "Hi'. Pedro." she greeted. "Hi', Michael." he answered. "Sit down. son. sit down" urged Mrs. M.-uKelvev. "What brings vou to town of an eve ning?" Taylor nodded at Constance. Mexican Candidate Arrives Mobile, Ala., Aug. 18. i.T Gen. Juan Andreu Almazan, in df pendent candidate for presi dent In the still unsettled Mexi can election last month, arrived in Mobile lat night aboard a (ruit boat, and departed almost Immediately for an undi.-closed destination. Recover Body Astoria. Ore , Aug 28. iP Coroner Hollis Ranmm said the body of Ernest J. Maunuia, 46, the moon Bowman "Mist Cabnllo. I thought it wouSd be easier to pick her up, whole, in Beachport, than to face Min if she ran Ttm'i car over the cliff." Constance turned to Mrs. Mac Kelvey. "How you widowt do arouse the protective instinct in the male of the tpeciet." The woman laughed. "That my dear, wat self protection. T'm'a Min hat a complex over that car. It's the only thing that runt that she hasn't been able to drive." "Which reminds me," offered Pedro. "Min't brother it in town and he'll take the car home and save you the trouble of leaving from Fuller't Junction." "I suppose." returned Constance sweetly, , "it will be easier to keep track of me if I have no ear at my disposal." "Judge," Taylor addresaed him self to the old man, "did you ever before hear a woman admit the needed watching?" In the end, Constance agreed to be driven home. She had dreaded the ordeal, and when they picked up Dolores that wo man's face wat ludicrous with its expression of relief. A two-hour drive In clear weather was a three-hour drive in the heavy fog: three hours, cut off from the rest of the world by a milk white curtain; three hourt of enchantment Dolores, warmed by visiting wine and a blanket, curled up in the back teat and slept soundly. Constance, warmed at much by the forethought at by the great polo coat of Meg's, tat watching Pet'ro' hands on the wheel, his Indian profile with lines of strength, or wat it cruelty, from nostril to the outer corner of hit lip. She had a moment of smug satisfaction in finding that hit profile didn't give the impression of startling perfection that hit full face gave, and "then, dis turbed, the found in its rude fear lessness something more devas tating to her morale. "Warm enough?" Without looking at her he reached over to tuck her hands under the rug and give them a scolding pat and Constance wondered if It were possible for a human heart to jump to one's throat and lodge there. 'Don't Fight' REBELLIOUSLY Constance withdrew her hands and laid them, amall and white, on top of the scarlet rug. He looked at her then. "Don't fight. Conchita." "Don't fight?" Hot anger splashed her cheeks. How did he know? The conceit of him: the insufferable egotism of him. She'd make a catechism of all that Sam and Min had said. She'd sav It over hour by hour, particularly Min't parting words: "prettier girls than you" ". . . next time." she noticed he was twinging the car back to the center of the road, sharply, "I'll have Dolores sit up here with me. She doesn't take my mind off the road." There was balm In that, a small measure of triumph. Constance tucked her hands under the robe. Perhaps she was different from these coeds, these "prettier girlt." Perhaps Pedro hated this some thing between them at much at she. And she thought, with some thing akin to horror: "If I felt this way about John. I wouldn't care about the family: I wouldn't care about being solvent and meeting him on his own ground" Milet later she wondered why John, who was everything fine and true and honorable, gave her onlv a feeling of comfort and se curity and dependability, Rut those were the qualities one needed in marriage. They were enduring. "Pedro." the reasoned. "Is like too many cocktails and there't alwavt a morning after." Pedro held her hand at he helped her from the car at the ranch house. "If vou don't want me to drive vou around, vou can ask Juliano for a boy," he ad vised. Constance looked awav qulcklv. wondering if her eves had told him she did want him to drive her. always ... but she would be eternally blessed if she'd have him. "Ellen MaeKelvev't place." he continued, "it out of Fuller'! Junction." "How did you know?" the flashed. "I have wavs." he retorted, laughing. "And now that vou know our plans for the ranch, what are you going to do'" "Call on vour u'nts for that answer." she laughed. "What were vou really doing in Beach port" "Tomorrow you'll know." he promised. Dolores greeted her the moment she stirred, and Constance, aware of a golden day. sensed, rather than heard a stir about the rancho. "Today." advised Dolores, com ing to the bed with a tr.iv. "we have Fiesta del foro. Already your guests begin to arrive. You should now hurry, setiorita. to greet them. "Of yesterday." she poured an amber stream of coffee into a tur quoise cup. "Senor Pedro have in vited them And he have broueht you by Meg's messurements. the clothes that vou shall wear." The trav figcled as Constance jat straighter. FteM meant feast, foro meant bull: together they meant a barbecue. Ta fca ronllnofd veteran deep-sea tiaherman. was recovered today front the Astor ia mooring basin. Japanese Citltent Meet Portland.
