OREGON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13. 1941. ft . 4 O by MARGARETTA yd U JlOVe f BRUCKER Chapter 27 Tragedy ' ' "r0 we have to go over all that s again. Riv?" Sue Ellen demanded. "And why notT If you'd been different. I would never have married Deedora Waller" Suddenly he broke down and his voice became pleading. "There's one thing you can do one thing you must do, to help the Colonel. He can't stand hav ing an investigation made of his affairs; It will ruin mm. "Then why not say that you came to beg me to do son.ething to help the Colonel, not attempt to arouse a feeling which is dead. which never existed. Riv aid: "Listen, Sue. You're the girl I love, the only girl I ever loved and I never realized how much I loved you until I lost you. The other affair was a hideous mistake and every day make it worse. You know about Deedora?" "I know. And you should be asking Deedora to help you. not me, for it is help you want, isn't it. Riv?" "I have to have it," laid Riv lullenly, "but I'll not go to Dee dora and bargain for it She would like nothing better. She's down here now, waiting for some opportunity to force me to live with her. She tricked. me into marrvini her. She thinks she can put me on a horse to manage that estate and settle down here in Tyler Springs. She knows the Colonel's lost most of his money. 6he' cunning. I saw her yester day and asked her to give me a divorce " "She refused because she lovea vou. Riv. He stared at her angrily: "Don't tell me you want me 10 live wun her now. Remember how you rushed up to Washington a week ago begging me to marry you at once? Or maybe you ve forgotten all that Maybe that Yankee sol dier informed you that the Col onel had lost his money and you suddenly changed your mind. You love Belle Acres not a man. You'd sell your soul for that plan tation. Well, you'll help me now or else "Riv stop being melodramatic. What do you want me to do?" "Turn Belle Acres back for the Colonel to manage. That will si lence all this gossip." "I plan to manage Belle Acre tnysrlf." "You?" Riv laughed scornfully. "What do you know about busi ness? Your aunts raised you to be a beauty. You've no more sense than a baby or you would have een-" "What would I have seen? "That this northerner married you for the same reason Deedora married me. You're the type to be the mistress of a big plantation, iust as I'm the type to manage )ecdora's estate. You're the com posite of a dream this man has of a southern sweetheart" It was what Ginny had said so shrewdly Just a short time before, and against her will Sue listened. "Love is something different." (aid Riv, and she knew by his ex pression that Riv believed he had touched upon a subject which might win her over to his way of thinking. "Love is what I feel deep in my heart for you, honey." Truth To Rir " ALL of which Is more running " true to type." Sue Ellen arose. "Making love Is an accom plishment with you, Riv you're adept at it But you don't love me nor any girL You love your aelf. There Is something else you should know, Riv. I think it will aimplify things for you for me." "And what is that?" ha de manded angrily. "I love my husband." She had expected, an outburst ef sarcasm. A flood of angry words, even oaths, but Riv simply stood and stared at her out of hot angry eyes, then turned and flung himself out of the house, hatless his raincoat huddled about his neck. She watched his tall figure disappear In the gath ering darkness and the rain, with a feeling of vague uneasiness and apprehension. She went back Into the library and stood before the Are with her hands outstretched to the cheerful blaze. She was cold and shiver ing. Aunt Car looked up from her work. "You got rid of him?" Sue Ellen said: "I don't know. I have a feeling that Riv plans to make trouble for me, Aunt Car. He frightened .ne." "Nonsense. He's head'trong and Impetuous, but Riv Moore's a coward." "Even a coward can be danger ous." said Sue Ellen. But she shook off her depres sion and went back upstairs to put away her clothes strewn about hrr room. She had lost all eagerness to dress for Johnnv The thought of what Riv might do obsessed her. Poor Riv. Weak, yes but she could not help pitv Ing him. If only he cnuld drcide to go to Dredora, who had money and Influence and could help him. But he knew he must bargain wilh Deedora. What bargain had re hoped to make with her, Sue Ellen? what ever it had been, beyond men tioning that It concerned the Col. onel. he had been too upset and angry to giva her a clear idea of what he could do to help him. Johnny was expected at four, but four came, and four-thirty, and he did not appear. It continued to rain. A gloomy, dismal afternoon with a rising wind howling down the library chimney as she and Aunt Car sat before the Are. Sue Ellen lost In her thoughts Aunt Car glanc ing at her anxiously from time to time as the minutes passed and the clch.k in the hall chimed five five-thirty six. Aunt Pleas bustled In from the kitchen with a huge lace-trimmed apron tied about her stout waist From the kitchen drifted Aunl Jennie's mournful voice aigning a spiritual. The aroma of tried chicken filled the house. At six-thirty Aunt Pleas be came indignant "A gentleman should be careful about keepinj appointments," she observed. Accident JUST then th doorbell rang Sue Ellen ran to answer it Toby Tyler tood outside, his round face sober and anxious "Miss Sue Ellen" he began. "Yes." She drew him inside. He was hesitating, breathless "There' been an accident " "Johnny 7" Toby shook his head. "If Riv and he' badly hurt He had been drinking. He drove out to th Waller plantation and coming back he (kidded on a bad curve he isn't expected to live," said Toby. "He keeps asking for you, Sue Ellen." "Where I he?" She was shak ing all over with nervousness and fright Just for a minute the thought of Johnny flashed through her mind. Johnny had been de layed. He would be here any minute and when he came she must not be gone, for only now she realized how much this eve ning meant to her. Someway sh would let Johnny know that she loved him. He might take her away with him. All this spun through her mind as Toby talked and as she found herself nulling upstairs for a coat when Toby told her that he had a car outside waiting, that Riv was at his father's plantation ten miles be yond the town, that a surgeon was flying from Memphis. Mechanically she pulled on rubbers and raincoat and took the umbrella Aunt Car brought from the hall closet Aware that Aunt Pleas had come In and was asking questions, that far back in the pantry door she could sea Aunt Jennies black face peeping through at her. Someway sh knew that Aunt Jennie cared less about Riv Moore and his accident than about the dinner which she had prepared and which would be ruined. Tell Johnny . . She clutched Aunt Car's arm as Toby caught ner arm and hurried her toward the door. "Tell Johnny . . ." Hel mind was a blank oil bewilder ment and fear. Why did this have to happen, but hadn't she felt all day that the hours were leading up to a climax, that each stroke of the clock had not given her the lift of spirits she should hav had as she awaited Johnny's com. ing. Riv again. Stepping into her life and upsetting her hope and her plans. Would Johnny under stand? Could he? "What shall I tell Johnny?" Aunt Car stood on the porch with the wind and rain tearing at het soft grey hair. 'Tell him to call me. I want to talk to him I must talk to him." She was all but sobbing as Toby jerked open the door of the cai at the curb and pushed her in side. As the car rolled away through the ram, she saw the headlights of another car cut through the darkness ahead. As the car passed them she leaned forward and rec ognized it "I can't go, Toby." Toby Ig nored her cry and his face was grave as he bent over the wheel. "Shut up," he said briefly. "Thi Is no time for hysterics. A man' life may hang on whether I can get you ten miles out in the coun try on these wretched roads." A man's life Riv life. A life was more important than love, wasn't it? While they rushed through the night slipping, slid ing, skidding on a treacherous bit of clay and back on the road again. "Hold the wheel a minute, will you, while I light a cigarette." Her hands were stiff and cold and had no feeling, as she bent over and hung to the wheel at Tohv'a bidding. "Here I have It." Toby's coolness was steadying her own shattered nerves. Pres ently she asked in a small shaken voice: "How did it happen?" "He was drunk. He'd been out to the Waller place and he and Deedora Waller had an argument He was found just a few miles this side of the plantation. At first the men who found him wanted to take him back, but he was so violent In demanding that he be taken home that they com plied. Then he began to call for you. He's still calling. It's partly dnlinum from the pain. Hi back la broken." said Toby. T be eontlnned COSTLY LESSON Greenwood, Miss.
