PAC5 SIX ' MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1941". 9 I U oae ?ty Chapter SO ?5? The Rains Came SUE ELLEN was Jealous. In. anelv Jealous of Deedora. Before the went away, Ginny had told her that Riv refused to see Deedora. That the continued to itay with one maid in the great lonely plantation house which was four miles down a winding road from Belle Acres. Sue Ellen wondered what Deedora thought. shut in with her own thoughts and the rain. Finally, one after noon, she decided to visit ner. Having made this decision, her mind cleared, wny naan t sne thought of doing this before? No matter how much Deedora hated her, they could talk things over sanely ana reacn an unaersiano lng. When she announced that she must drive out to Belle Acres to see just how much damage the storm had done. Aunt Pleas ob jected vigorously: "That place will be cold and damp as the grave, and it a risky to drive tnose clay roads when they're slippery." She promised to be careful and stubbornly continued her prep' rations. "You can't go alone. Uncle Freeman must go along and build a fire where you can dry your clothes and . wait if the storm should delay you. "The storm won't delay me. Be aides it isn't raining now." Aunt Pleas stood staring through the windows at the sullen sky. I don t like that sky, sne grumbled. "Aunt Jennie says we're going to have a wind storm." "Aunt Jennie's a goose." Sue Ellen buttoned her coat about her throat and stopped to drop a kiss on her aunt's forehead. "You miss Aunt Car, don't you. Aunt fleas? "That's no reason why shouldn't want you out of my sight But please be careful." Uncle Freeman sat huddled In the car. "We's agoln' to have a bad sto m. Miss Sue Ellen. He shook his head g oom Iv. Sue Ellen stepped firmly on the Starter. "You're as bad as Aunt Jennie. She's always predicting irouoie. "I feel In my hones somepln's goin' to happen," he grumbled, hunching down Into his faded overcoat. "I rush don' like that tkv. Aunt Pleas was right The roads were bad slippery, washed away in places, and treacher ous. Sue Ellen decided to drive straight to Belle Acres and take her aunt's advice and leave Uncle Freeman to build a fire. From there she would go on to see Dee dora and later return and pickjip uncie r reeman. Out Of The Storm AS THEY turned Into the gates of Belle Acres, the rsln sud denly ceased, but the wind arose and with hurricane force rocked the ear and fairly swept them off ineir reet as they staggered onto the veranda. The wind caught the ooor wnicn sne nnauy succeeded in openirg and crashed it closed behind them. It was only two in the afternoon, but the sky was black as ink. Uncle Freeman was terrified and moaned and groaned until Sue Ellen turned upon him se verely and ordered him to look for candles in the kitchen. She remembered that soma workmen had used candles. She told him to bring In wood from the shed and build a roaring fire. She was frightened herself. The wind bent the trees it screamed down the chimney it died and then arose again, bring ing a deluge of rain with it The Are blazed up on the hearth and she drew up a chair and crouched over the blare, hoping Aunt Pleas would not be too frightened, and angry with herself because she had ne glected to have a telephone in stalled at Belle Acres. She watched the eerie dancing shsd ows in the firelight and the flick ering candlelight shining on the walls and carpets, listened to Uncle Freeman puttering about In the distant kitchen where he was building a fire in the range. "Why should you build up a fire in that cook stove?" she de manded. "You can sit in here with me, .Uncle Freeman." But he stubbornly shook his head. She could hear the atove lid rattle and then every sound was lost in another, which pierced the roar of the storm. A human voice calling crving. At first she thought it some animal in distress. The cry was so piercing so unnerving, and then she was flying to the hall door and struggling to hold It as the wind and the rain swept through from outside. She had been mistaken there was no one there who could be there? She ran back for a candle and the wind blew out the flame, and then in the darkness which fsced her she heard the cry again. Piteous pleading. I She ran out with the wind whipping her hair and tearing at ber skirls, and halfway across HORT. SOCIETY TO HOLD 56TH SESSION AT EUGENE The Oregon State Horticul tural society, believed to be the oldest agricultural group In the state continisoiisly active, will hold its fiftylixth annual meet ing In Eugene December 10 and "Medford's Arrow Shirt Store" 73aXAoK3 Stora for Men MARGARETTA BRUCKER I the veranda stumbled over soma one. It seemed an eternity before her call brought Uncle Freeman to help her, and together they managed to pick up the figure lying face downward on the ve randa floor. It was Deedora who, a little later, lay on the sofa in the front room with the firelight pattern ing; weird shadows on ner an guished face. There was no doubt about tha reason for Deedora's coming, even before she murmered: '1 was alone the telephone Is out of order, so I drove you'll have to help me." Sue Ellen stood staring down at her and every nerve in her body tightened with a fear be yond any fear she had ever known. How could she help her? Deedora needed a doctor but Deedora, seeming to read her thought, turned her face, twisted with pain. "There isn't time. Don't leave me " Her voice died away. Sue Ellen turned and saw Uncle Freeman standing In the doorway with an armful of wood. "Get blankets from the chest upstairs," she ordered. "Then come down and fill everything in the house with water. Heat it." Uncle Freeman dropped tha wood with a thud on the pol ished floor. He shook his grizzled head. "I knowed somenin would happen," he mumbled. "All dis dav I knowed " ''Will you hurry," said Sue Ellen sharply. She was already kneeling beside Deedora, strip ping off her wet sodden clothes. Til Never Leave Ton' AT FOUR o'clock In the morn ing, the Are burned low on the hearth and shed a red glow over the front drawing room at Belle Acres. Uncle Freeman stood with his back to the candle lighted room, warming blankets. Blankets stretched across chairs, shut off the view of Deedora's weary figure on the sofa. Sue Ellen sat in a chair with her disheveled head against the chair back and her arms dangling over its arms. She was tired but tri umphant Across her knees lay a bundle wrapped in a soft bit of wool, with Sue Ellen's bright yellow scarf swathing its face and body. Just a tiny button nose and a wrinkled red cheek and a tinv groping hand were visible. The baby was Deedora's son and he was alive and strong, al though the struggle to save him had exhausted her so completely that Sue Ellen wondered if she could ever move again. The storm continued. Any at tempt to go for help was out of the question until morning. Then Aunt Pleas would send someone to bring her home and she could call for Doctor Warren. She lifted the baby close to her breast She was becoming drowsy. When she opened her eyes, the dawn had come. A grey dawn with the wind still moaning about tne nouse and whipping the trees. Uncle Freeman tintoed in and stood in the doorway. "Ain't no way to get back to town, he told her. "Watah's risin' and flondin' all those fields. Miss Sue Ellen. Reckon it will come up here?" She felt a new alarm. "Of course not," she told him. uncle r reeman built up the lira and she realized that there was no food, and what if no one came and she was left alone, with Dee dora helpless and the baby wak ing and crying. . , , Just then there was a quick step on the front veranda. Before she could rise, the step reached the front door it was coming across the hall Johnny! Johnny! ' He looked so tall as he stood there for a minute, before he was beside her chair, and then he stopped and stared down at the bundle of wrappings in her arms. Sue Ellen pushed back the yel low scarf and showed him the tiny wrinkled face. "It's Dee dora's." she said simply. "It was born last night Uncle Freeman helped me " She was shaklnff all oiw as she remembered. Johnny's tall figure blurred, grew hazy every thing turned black. ... When she ODened her eves. Johnny knelt beside her with a glass in his hand and Uncle Free man, looking terrified and ludic rous, stood beside her holding the baby. "I fainted?" Johnny nodded. He set down the glass and took her in his arms and held her tight against his breast "I shall never let you go. What a fool 1 was to leave vou." he cried. "After this I'll never, never leave you again." Her fingers touched his rough brown hair. "You haven't kissed your wife, Johnny Harris," she whispered. She went away then, but looked back from the stairwav and could see Johnny sitting by the Are, awkwardly cuddling Dee dora's son. His lean face was tender one big finger curiously touching a tiny groping hand. "I love you. Johnny Harris." she said over and over to herself as she ran up the long wide stairs. Te centlnara It.
