PAGE TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 16, 1942. ' S WftTKINj Chapter 15 Plcnie "I TACKED tht burlap on the . two Mats," Rod explained, "to protect vour skirt." ' "And now I'm not wearing akirt!" said Lavinia. "1 hope you don't obiect to slacks." "Not on you, no. I don't like them on most Hirls, but they make you look even more feminine like a girl playing at being a boy. Besides, they're lust the thing for our trip to the island." "How toon do we ftartT" "Right away. Everything's ship, shape." Rod took Lavinia's hand, helped her into the boat "Wel come, skipper!" "Look out for the pie!" La vinia warned. -'Til put it here with the other things,1 Rod aaid. He placed the napkin-covered plate with a pack age of hot-dogs, a coffee pot, and several other bundles. "Ready?" ' "Ready!,. Lavinia settled her self upon one of the burlap-up-bolstered seats. Rod started the motor. It sput tered a few times, whined a little, then then did a gay rat-a-tat-tat. She sounds a bit like a riveting machine," Rod apologized. "But she'll get us to the island all right" He steered away from the old pier, and headed for open water, the spray blowing up about the bow. "I love the feel of the spray In my face,' he called out "I hope you do." "I adore It!" said Lavinia. - She flung back her head, watched Rod, who looked extraor. dlnarily handsome, she thought, In a pair of white duck trousers, and an open-neck shirt The white made his sun-tan appear even darker by contrast ' Then she let her thoughts run aver the events of the day, while Rod busied himself babying the engine as he called it There had been a letter from her aunt in the morning mail. "You were terribly casual in re ferring to"" the man you'd met" Aunt Dorcas wrote. "I smell a rat I hope it means you're really hid ing romance from your old aunt's eagle eye. A romance would be good for you, my dear." "Ob, to heck with it." she had Mid. half aloud, tossing aside the letter. Then the had dug out the lacks. They were rust-color, and there was a bright yellow sweater to go with them, also a rust and yellow bandana. Sandals also, rusty brown with touches of yel low here and there. "One of our smartest outfits," the saleslady had aaid. "I hear Katharine Hep burn and Doris Cromwell have outfits just like It" . mtj .... u,,., ittH rt VJ U VII, 1,1 null. LtUIMI had urged. And aha had done so, not that ha cared what Hepburn and Cromwell wore, but because she was tired of arguing with her aunt over everything In connec tion with her summer vacation wardrobe. Lunch a nap tome letter writing a shower, and then she bad gone forth to meet Rod. "Here's your pie. Miss Prentiss," a waiter had said. "Thank you, Charles," was her reply. "Here's something for you." Charles had eyed tha generous tip, and said: "Thank you. Miss Prentiss!" Margot had teen her and called cut "Going some place?" Tin not standing still, am I?" he had replied, and waved her hand gaily, ; Hot Dor and Pie AND now, at long last she was wearing the slacks and the things that went with it. heading toward an island with a handsome man all in white. The wind the spray the sun shine! ft was invigorating it teemed to wash one's brain of all worries and doubts and fear-.! "We'll soon be therel" said Rod. "No walking the plank?" said Lavinia. "Pirates used to make people do that, didn't they?" "Yes, to I've heard But there are only pirate ghostt on the is land now. And they're too busy trying to find the treasure they buried to bother with folkt and planks." "It looks much bigger than 1 thought" Lavinia Said, as they drew nearer the island. "There s quite a lot to explore." "And we'll explore It!" Rod laid gaily. "Mind if we eat first? I'm hungry." "So am IT said Lavinia. "I'm starved!" Rod shut off the motor, and the eld boat drifted in. Just before its battered bow struck the beach, he iumped out one end of a rope in is hand. "Sit tight!" he taid. "I'll haul her in." There wat the sound of the post's flat bottom scraping sand and pebbles, and Lavinia got up She too leaped nut caught the rope, and helped Rod draw the craft up upon the sands. Then when she had been made fast to a rock. Rod and Lavinia stood looking about them "We ought to find Man Friday's footsteps about some place," Rod taid. LOYAL JAPANESE Vancouver, Wash., Jan. 16. (VP) Sheriff Leland Morrow of Clark county disclosed today that an American born Japanese youth of this county had turn ed over to him a collection of picture of Japanese warships which he received from Nippon in the hope "they might help someway in combating the ene my." Morrow said the pictures ap peared to be on postcards al though all the lettering was Japanese. There were 32. The youth's name is Takahashl (first name unavailable) and his age Morrow turned tha pictures over to the FBL I WBIGHt 1 And then for the first time In days Lavinia remembered the Dinosaurus and Dinotherium. "1 wonder if prehistoric animals ever roamed the Island, she said. "I think not" said Rod. "But ' perhaps the whale that swallowed i Jonah came here to sun himself." Rod caught her hand "Come on, 1 Til show you the little cove where we'll cook our hot-dogs and eat our pie,' he aaid. They gathered up the things from the boat the pie, the coffee. I' pot the hot-dogs, bread, butter, cheese, and a bundle containing an old tablecloth in which were rolled forks, knives and spoons, also a small bag of sugar, and a can or cream. And presently, sitting cross legged upon the sand, they were eating. It was peaceful. It was de lightful. "I shall remember this moment at long as 1 live," Lavinia thought Then she recalled what her Aunt Dorcas had said about cre ating memories for the years to come, and smiled. "When I'm a gray-haired executive, sitting be hind my desk on a not-so-busy day, I'll think of this srot and of Roderick Elliott and oe nappy." She bit into a juicy rut-dog, and took a swallow of crffee. "Enjoying yourself?" Rod asked, smiling at her. "That's putting It .nlldly," said Lavinia. "And you'" "I'm happier thin Tve been in many a long month," said Rod. And there wat no doubting hit sincerity. . Is This Love "I SUPPOSE you used to explore the island when you were a little boy." said Lavinia. as she and Rod tramped through rocks and undergrowth to seek view from the other side. "It's a won derful place to come for make-believe." "Yes." Rod taid. "Grandfather used to bring me here." He point ed to a diminuative peninsula that jutted out into the water some distance from them. "We used to sit out there, while he told me tali-s of Diracy and adventure" "I'd like to have had a grand father like that" said Lavinia. "I 1 didn't have any grandparents at 1 ail; I mean, the) died before I was born." "I don't know what I should have done without mine," said I Rod. "1 don't remnmber my pa ternal grandparents, but my , mother's parcntr certainly helped to make by childhood a happy .one. It nearly broke mv heart when we went to Eng'and to live.1' "Was it necessary to do that?" Lavinia inquired. "My mother thought so. You see. my father lost his life in the otner war and my mother fell in I love with ICngland when she took ' a trip over there. She also fell in love with anothe. man." I "And married him?" "Yes. He was a good sort, and 'he was good to me ;n his rather reserved British fashion. But it , took me many a long, miserable month to get over being homesick for Grandfather and Maine." Rod took Lavinia s arm to assist her over a particularly rough stretch of land. 'Mother died a few years back and after that my stepfather and I drifted apart. I couldn't teem to bring myself to return here, knowing liranrlfather and Grandmother were gone, and , so I stuck it ou. it, EuroDe.'' "But you did come bark final ly." said Lavinia. "And I'm glad." She hoped Rod would explain lust why .ie had come back when he did hoped he would go on and tell her rrore about his life in England. But he didn t He re rramcd silent until they reached I the small peninsula. Then he I spoke once more. "Shall we sit here a while?" he asked. ; "Let's do," Lavinia answered. I "Did you remember to bring along some cigarettes?" "Yes, I did. And my pipe also. You don't object to a pipe, do you?" "No, 1 like he smell of pipe smoke." They sat down. They got the cigarette and the pipe going and gazed nut across the seemingly endless expanse of water. I Lavinia studied Rod s profile ' now and then, and found it ex tremely satisfactory. She also liked his sun-nieacheo hair, that l waved btck frorr. his high, brown forehead. She had never, she I thought, teen bluer eyes. She liked his hands too slender and yet atrong. In fact, come to think of it. come to a point where she was downright honest with her self, she liked everything about I Roderick Elliott. "Could I be tailing in love with I him?" she asked herself. And a voice down inside ot her said' i"Well, why not? Did you think vou were invulnerable? Did vou think vou were a girl who couldn't do such a thing as fall in love? She tried to change her think Ing, tried to think of the man there beside her :n more imper sonal way But sh,- couldn't And almost before she knew it she was saying to herself: 'Whv doesn't he turn, take me in his arms, and k li me?"
