TfHS FOURTEEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1941, FOR THE LOVE OF PAM sBy VJVIEN GREY: Chapter 23 Pam'i Offer DAM searched Jerry's face for a moment Sh wai forced to believe what she taw there. "I'd say then that's one leu barrier between us, one thinf leas to keep you from being the fine person you could be, Jerry, I've been afraid of your money. It's been like something: rising- be tween us, something that made me helpless against things like" She paused. ' "Like Lenore," Jerry finished tor her. "Yes, Tve felt I couldn't fight her because there were so many things that could be said that I couldn't answer. Like," she con tinued quietly, "wanting your money and all that. If Lenore had said that to me, I'd have wanted to die, and yet I couldn t have made any answer. How could I prove anything? Now no one can say that'1 "Pam, you're lovely " and Jerry was tnmKing ol now ainerem ner reaction nsa Been irom ignores. "Not so lovely." Pam said, "That, Jerry, is the selfish part of it I was thinking of us when I said that; that poor, you might Be tne man i a nice to see you oe. Your money has frightened me, Jerry. It's done things to you mat nouung else wouia. "You're talking as If money were a curse, Pam. "But I didn't mean that at all. Money can be the most marvelous force for good. It can do things that are wonderful beyond words. But it can tear down as last as it can build up. You were letting it tear you down. Jerry. Oh, I could almost be cruel enough to say I'm slsd your money is gone! I could, Jerry, if it involved just you lone!" "Pam! Does this mean that your doubts about me are gone? Does It? If It does, then I'm glad, too. I'm glad, Pam. Only" the gladness left his voice as the de pressing afterthought came "I "It isn't that, Jerry," Pam re plied gently. "I think ail I'd want you to offer me was the cer tainty that you'd make yourself a useful, serious-minded citizen." It wasn't exactly what she had meant to ssy. She didn't know ac tually how to put her thoughts into words without coming out bluntly with the whole thing. The fact that he had been the kind of young man who could bet about a girl still rankled. "This will be hard on Lenore, too," Pam said, and Jerry replied: "Don't waste any sympathy on her." , Pam and Lenore were so differ . ent, he thought Loss of the Win thrope fortune meant almost as much to Pam as to Lenore, if Pam did intend to marry him. Yet it had brought out all of the bad qualities of Lenore. With Pam it had revealed further sweetness. "Is it very bad, Jerry?" Pam asked Anally. "About as bad as It could be," was his reply. "And I'm so help less. I'd never realized until now how selfishly I've lived. I haven't had thought for anyone but my self, Pam.'p Planted With Lot HER hand touched his, the first gesture of tenderness that she Vild offered. "Money does that to you, Jerry," she said. "You mustn't blame yourself too much. We never understand trouble until we've had it ourselves. We never think very much until something mskes us stop and do it." "You're such a wise little owl," he said whimsically. "You make me feel very immature and inex perienced right now." "Perhaps now," Pam said after a little silence, "I'll dare ask you with your mother and father to come here." And then a new thought came to her. "Jerry, if It's so bad well, this house is large, you know. I need so little of it Would you come here? I mean all of you? And make it your home. I mean" she was confused at the idea of being able to do something for people who had been accustomed to all the Winthropes had. "Of course, it isn't what you've been used to" Jerry's arms swept her to him and his lips silenced whatever else she would have said. "Pam. darling!" he whispered. "How like you. You'd share any thing you have. You're sweet Too sweet fur people like us." "I menn It, though," Pam In sisted. "You could have the whole house, all but a little corner for me. And Juan and Mclita would love doing for you." "Pam. that's darling of you." His voice was not quite steady. I don't even know how to thank you. I'm humhled to inv knees by your generosity. But,'1 and his voire v. . very low. " I'm through accepting, Pam. I'm going to be come the kind of person who has something to give, too." "Oh. Jerry! I wuh I could do something to help. I don't mind being poor. But for you folks. who have had so much. It will be hard. It wilL" "You've already done some thing, Pam," Jerry said. "You've set me a wonderful example." They stood at the door for a moment as Jerry was leaving. The soft night air was weighted with the perfume of Pam's rose-garden. "Pam," Jerry turned to ask, "why do your roses grow so much more fragrant and luxuriantly beautiful than for anyone else? Para smiled through the faint light "Perhaps," she said, "it's be cause they were planted with love and have grown with it through the yean. ' Christmas Box CHRISTMAS EVE was always a day of happy activity in the old Quellerton house. The candles in the century-old wrought-iron candelabra were replaced with brilliant red ones. Poinsettias, which flamed in luxuriance beside the big old barn, were cut and brought into the house to be put in tall vases. Ked-Demea plumes of the pepper tree were cut and put in large floor vases on either side of the door in the wide hall. The mistletoe, which a friend from Carolina sent, was tied with a red ribbon bow and hung from the living room chandelier. That would be a gay and lively spot at the Christmas party which had been a Quellerton custom for generations. Melita had the art of buffet breakfast down to a fine point. There would be chafing dishes of creamed kidneys, little not sausages, some in bacon jack ets, in covered silver dishes; heaps of home-made potato chips, trays of buttered toast and gallons of coffee. In the afternoon and evening there would be other teas and parties, starting a series which would continue merrily all through the holiday week; high lighted at certain times by special church services which everyont attended. Most of the homes In which these parties were held were merely carrying on a tradition which had been started by ances tors. Melita and Juan were like two happy children about these prepa rations, and Pam, always happy at festive times, was most excited over a large box that rested on a hall table. Into it had gone one dozen of the choicest poinsettias, a tiny bunch of mistletoe, some sprigs of Oregon holly and a huge cluster of pepper tree plumes. "And now, she said to Mclita, "one of the large glasses of guava jelly, one of peach mango pre serves, orange conserve. Those little boxes of candied orange peel. Your special fruit 'enke the little square one. Oh, Melita, its the most beautilul box! there isn't a corner that isn't tilled!" The box was tied with a big red bow and Juan was dispatched to tne cottage on Flaeler btreet the Winthropes had moved themselves into. Christmas at the Winthrope home was a holiday such as they had not had for years. Emma Garcia was called in to help Mrs. Winthrope with preparations for the feast at which all four mem bers of the family sat down for the first time in years. There were not as manr gifts as usual, but there was more ten derness and affection and consid eration. Bart Winthrope was hap pier about his family than he kad been m years. It was at an especially lovely party at the home of one of the officers at the Army Post that Pam paused beside the piano where Vin had just finished a number. He had only a cello and two violins with him. "Vin," Pan said, "that was a marvelous thing you just played. What is it? Have I ever heard it before?" "No, you haven't, Pam.1 Vin looked up gratefully. "It's a thing I wrote for " he paused. "Lenore." Pam finished for him, because she had guessed from the look on his face and from the tenderness with which the melody fiowed from his fingers. "That was swell!' Antoine was beside Pam and speaking to Vin. "That will be the making of you. boy. Could you give me a good orchestration of it?" Vin nodded. His fingers, wan dering over the keys, found the opening strain of a Chopin waits. V in swung it just a little, impro vising as he moved through tha number, his dark eyes lighting as dancers were tempted to the middle of the room by his rhythm. Antoine slipped his arm around Pam and they glided away to gether. Over Antoine's shoulder Pam could see Freda looking up at Io. She wondered if there was more than casual interest in Leo's as he looked down at the girl. Then Antoine claimed all ol her attention. He was telling hei of Lenoir's quarrel with Vin. til how de.-ply Vin had been hurt "That's cruelly unfair." Parr excUimed. "Vin deserves bettei than that. He's so real, Kilmund If you can do anything for him please do." "I can. and I will. To get I,en ore's goat if for no other reason.' Te fee eenllnaes More Sugar and Fai For British People London.
