PAGE SIX . MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD," OREGON, MONDAY, MARCH 23, 1942. ChipUr II The Kia JIMMY wu eomlne; back to them now, and with him wu Randy. Mlia'a heart lav little startled leap at sight of Randy. Was it true, what Dolores had aaid? Randy looked a little worried or wai he tired? Reaching the table, ha smiled down at Melissa and aaid lightly. "Have we time (or a dance? Or are you already tired out with dancing with Jimmy here?" "I'm not tired TC love to dance with you." aaid Melissa, and even at ahe rose aha caught the warning look on Dolorea' (ace. Randy put hia arme about Melissa as the music began and Melissa's heart climbed right up into her throat and hung there. Randy's arms about her. Bandy's heart beating against her own on. but this waa Heaven! This waa madness but this wu Para dise, tool Randy grinned down at her and aaid lightly, "Having fun?" "Lota of fun. answered Me lissa steadily: and then, curious ly, ahe asked, "la everything all right on the ehow boat Randy? ' You're not well, worried about nrthlng?" Randy looked 1 down at her. Fuzzled by her question. "Well, m not exactly worried. Of course, getting a place like the River Queen established, to where it la making money, paying a re turn on Investment takes a little time. It'a hard to convince a busi ness men I'ke Marstnn that you can struggle along for weeks, months even, not more than mak ing expenses, breaking even and t-.at then the e'ace may suddenly begin to pay off." "Oh." aaid Melissa In an odd. tluM little voice. "What do you mean 'okl" demanded Randy, laughing. "Just 'oh.'" answered Melissa, and added lightly. "Jimmy'a aw : fullv nice. Isn't he? I like him a lot I rather expect Til be seeing a whole lot of him later on. Randy's arms tightened about her ever so little, u though that had unpleasantly atartled him. He stared down at her. purtled. frowning a little. "Now what the devil do you mean br that?" he demanded atraightly. "First you want to know how things are at the ahow boat and then you're going tn see a lot of Jlmmv Mar stem. The two facts wouldn't be related, would thev? I mean you haven't any crary Idea i about well, about Vamping Junior In order to make Senior happy, have you?" He had come so eloae to the truth that Melissa wu atartled. Because ahe knew her expression tnleht cully betray her, she rucked her head so that her face wu hidden against Randv's shoulder, and the av little laugh she managed waa (airly convlnc- "SI'lv! What a reary Idea! I don't believe that Senior would be oleaard If Junior atarted mak ing a fus over a show boat girl, do "Hi?" she answered eareleaalv "Jlmmv ets orettv much what he wants. Hl narents are erazv about him. But I thought you didn't like the guy." Bard Job That waa silly of me. wamt It?" She had better control of her expression and of her voice now. so she dared to let him see her face. UDon which she had pinned a gay. brave little (mile "I didn't even know him.. but now thst I have been with him awhile and see how n!- he Is well. T like him a lot!" And that of course, was true, for Jimmv could be charming when he wanted to be. Randv nodded, and ahe saw his law harden, his mnuth tighten a little. Rut lust then the mulc ended and In the general eonfu si on of dancers returning tn their tahles there wss no further eh" fee orlvate conversation. When thev reached their table Randv ssld etirtlv. "Rorrv. girls, but I'm afraid we'll have to be ste-t'ne hsrV t' ettln late" Dolores and Melissa gathered un their doves and bags as Jlmmv said eaerlv. "Ik. Ace. vou've onlv got a roatter and there are three of vou Whv don't vou let m dHve Mellaaa bark tha a. Mellwa tn't mind" "Mind?" said Melissa gallv quite aware of Dolores1 eves noon her even though she would not meet them "T tMW (hat ounds like trand fun Td love It Randv said erlmlv "Then thst leave me nothing to say. does It? Don't be late for the flr.t show. Mellsaa! Ready. Dolores'" And he turned awav u though . he had no Interest whatever In the mat'er. his hand beneath Do. lores' elhow. guiding her awlftlv and sureiv through the chatter ing crowd. "Thi, i, w.ll'"aa.timmvhan BHv a little later, u he turked Melissa Into his einenilve low. Slun e-'av and allver ix-iin t haven't been able to get you out The Grange Central Point Grange Home Economic club of Cen tral Point grange will meet at the home of Margaret Hampton, Wednesday, March 25, at 1 p. m.

Upper Rogue Grange Upper Rogue grange met March 10 with Master Herb SHOP AT NIGHT Barker' are epea until o'clock EVERY Bight Store lor Mea 1 I By ROBERTA I 1.1COURTLANDI of my mind since the other night when I heard you sing." Melissa laughed, although she had never (eit leas like laughing. "Wu I u bad u all that?" aha murmured lightly. That's shameless Ashing for compliments, of course." Jimmy stated firmly u he put the car in motion. "You know you weren't bad at all you were glorious. There's something about our voice that sort of gets a (el ow makes chills run up and down hia spine but I love it" "That's probably the micro phone!" uid Melissa wisely. 'Without It you can't hear me beyond the Brat row of tables." Jimmy uid unexpectedly, "How the dickens did a girl like you ever start singing on a show boat anyway?" And so she told him something of the Point; of life in the an cient cabin with Gran; of meet ing Randy and of her journey to New Orleans when Gran's death left her alone. "I knew you were something extra special," uid Jimmy when she had finished, "though I never dreamed you were quite that extra special. Wonder why Ace hun't had you written up in the New Orleana papers. There must be lot of people vho never heard of Mississippi lamp-light-era and none of them would suspect that a acrao nf s kid like you could be one. I'll have to tip off a couple of guys I know who work for the local rag." "But maybe Randy wouldn't like that" protested Melissa un easily. Jimmy uid almost grimly, "Randy, as you call him. ought to be tickled to death with any. thing that would improve busi ness on the River Queen." The Slap Startled, Melissa asked, "Is It u bsd u all that?" "What a sucker you are for Jumping at conclusions," uid immy teasingly. "No, business isn't bad at the River Queen It's improving a little picking up steadily. Everybody connected with the financing ts tickled to death. But still, an increase in business due to some well-placed publicity about you, my child, wouldn't be hard to take at all!' "Oh," said Melius, and relaxed a little. The sharp relief in her tone made Jimmy look at her a trifle curiously. "Say, you really care about this career of yours, don't you?" he uid. obviously a little surprised. "It'a not exactly the career, if you could call what I'm doing a career," answered Melissa quite honestly. "It'a lust that welt Randv's been so good to me that I like to know things are going well with him." Jimmy ahot her a straight level, slmont stern glance . "It wouldn't be. maybe, that you're in love with him?" he uked bluntly. Melisu set her teeth hard for a moment to steady her voice be fore she answered as coolly as she could. "Of course not." "That's good." said Jimmy In frank relief. "Because he's no sort of a guv for a kid like you. my lamb. Ace la a lone wolf he's wary about women. And be ing the swell guy he Is, he'd probably be the first one to tell you that" The road curved sharnlv and a fork led off away from the river. Taking the main road which would curry them to te River Queen. Jimmy Indicated the nar row fork-road and said. "That'a our place down there Underlie Plantation I'd like to ahow it to you some day." "I'd like it too." said Melissa politely. Jimmy cocked an eyebrow at her and grinned. "My. mv. what nice manners you have. Miss Mellwa Marlowe." he teased her lightly "I think that's probably one of the things I like best about vou the real be ing vour beautiful hair and vnur lovely evea and that pretty little nose of yours and the chin that says vou can be a stubborn little mutt when vou want tn be -and your mouth vour lovely, lovely mouth Oh, Melisu. mv dear He had brought the car to a halt even while he talked and now hia arms were about her and he was holding her very close and hard against him and hia mouth had (ound and taken her own. Melissa wu too startled for t moment to struggle, to orotest:! and before she could regain her scattered faculties a car behind them honked Imperiously, de manding right of pasuge. When it came abreast of them Melissa ssw, her heart sinking In hef breast, that It was Randv's car. Randv could not have helned see Inr that Jimmv was kissing her. She caught her breath on a lit tle sob. and before she could con trol the impulse she raised her hand and slapped Jimmy u hard as she could. Ta be Matlnaed Carlton In the chair.
