CHAPTER XXX
NEITHER Scott nor Dana re
ferred to tha quarrel their
flrst serious one next evening.
Both were secretly ashamed ot It.
A -week later It was as though
tlis episodo bad never taken place.
But a slight film of doubt had
settled over the faith that had
been Ilka shining armor, protect
ing Dana. Scott, too, bad received
a jolt In the realization that Dana
was not the one perfect person In
a world of imperfect beings.
For almost a month Paula left
them entirely alone. Paula was
spending most ot ber time with
the Rlchardsons these days. They
were seen constantly together.
Dana believed Paula had finally
given np her attempt to make
Scott and Dana more "social
minded," had realized It was Im
possible for them to keep pace
with a crowd that spent money as
though It grew on bushes.
Most ot the other couples In
their crowd generally played
bridge for not less than a twen
tieth. When Dana and Scott were
present stakes were automatically
. lowered. Paula played ' bridge a
great deal, lost consistently. Yet
she was one of those who were
bored when , playing for low
stakes.
Scott agreed . tills must be the
reason . that Paula bad Ignored
themUately. "You mustn't worry
It some of onr friends desert,"
Scott. said. "As a .matter of fact,
I'm ' turning Into such a family
man that I'm bored outside these
four .'walls. Look what you've
done to me In less than a year,
Danai'
"Perhaps I should call Paula
and ask her to drop In some night
this week,' Dana said. "Maybe
she's offended over something."
"Suit yourself,' Scott spoke
shortly, "but I should think you
wonld know there's no reason for
her to be offended."
"Well, I won't then," Dana
said. And was relieved oyer the
decision, for some reason.
, TJONNIE'S father died during
the month. Dana and Scott
sent flowers, and Dana wrote a
note of condolence, receiving one
from Ronnie in reply. Not long
afterward, newspapers carried a
Btory abont the will.
I Scott read the report. "It's
bard to realize there's that much
money In the world," be said.
r'Here we are, stretching dollar
bills and wondering where the
rent is coming from, and Ronnie
inherits JIO.OOO.OOO.'V
i He added thoughtfully, "Ronnie
(was pretty gone on yon for a
while, wasn't hef
' "For a while," Dana said
lightly. "Ronnie fancied he bad
an awf nl crush, but yon know how
rich boys are. Some other girl
comes along "
i "Or some man comes along,"
Gcott said slowly, "and messes
things np "
! "Scott, will yon stop being an
Idiot!" Dana seated herself on
khe arm ot his chair and rumpled
bis hair.
I "I'm thinking what a different
kind of life yon would have had
it you had married Ronnie," Scott
answered Uioughtfnlly. "No bud
gets. No computing living costs
and wondering wbere yon can cnt
some more. Just one long, luxuri
ous fling!"
"Yon think that would be liv
ing?" There was scorn in Dana's
voice. She added lightly, "Don't
forget Ronnie didn't ask me. I'd
have been an old maid, probably.
If you badn't come along."
"Yes you would!" Scott pulled
her down Into bis arms, kissing
her fiercely. Dana could feel his
heart pounding.
"Why, Scott!" she whispered,
with a shaky little laugh.
"I swear to you, honey, we'll
come through," he said. "I'll
prove to you I'm not Just a big
bust Though, God knows, I feel
that way at times."
"It you'll only Just love me
always." Dana said, "I'm a silly,
sentimental girl. But I'm telling
yon the truth. That's all I want,
darling.'
IN the days that followed Dr.
Osborne dropped Into Scott's
office frequently. It happened
often enough for the other doctors
In the building to "perk up," as
the shrewd young woman at the
desk remarked to another physi
cian's assistant.
"And I'm here to tell yon It
means something when that self
tufilclent medical king gets down
from his throne and goes visiting
mother doctor."
"They do seem friendly,", the
other girl admitted.
"Friendly Isn't the word. Dr.
Osborne's positively chummy. It
I know my onion soup, be sus
pects Dr. Stanley has something
some ot these other doctors don't
liave and that's brains!"
Scott was pleased by the older
, doctor's visits, but refused to be
lieve it held any significance
beyond a spirit ot friendliness.
' Dr. Osborne had said, on bis
last visit, "There's a small room
that's practically empty adjoining
my suite, Stanley. If the time
comes when you feol cramped for
apace, I'd be glad to open It up
tor you."
Bcott realized the offer was
doing made gratis. He expressed!
his appreciation, but refused. Tin
time wouldn't come when he
named to be undor obligations to
anyone. Scott wanted to be a free
man and you couldn't do that and
be accepting favors.
On another occasion they met
outside the building, and (he oldei
physician stood for a moment
talking pleasantly beforo climbing
Into his car. Ho was discussing
the case ot a nationally known
physician who had died recently.
"That's the trouble with thlt
profession," Dr. Osborne said.
"Day In and out we drive our
selves, as though we were made
ot iron. Thinking there's no end
lo our vitality and endurance.
Though, heaven knows, wa say
plenty to tho other fellow. And
then, finally, we come down with
one ot the wenr-and-tcar diseases
and pass out ot the picture."
He added thoughtfully, "Every
physician should have an able
man associated with blm to share
the responsibilities and burdens.
But lots ot ns go it alone with
disastrous results."
SCOTT watched blm walk away.
Dr. Osborne's shoulders sagged
slightly, as though be were weary.
The old chap must be all ot 60.
And it must be true that his enor
mous practice was proving a
strain.
Of course Dr. Osborne was still
a good man, a brilliant man. Bui
the day must come when his sur
gical skill would fall. That was
1 life. Lessened vitality takes a toll
from even the best ot men.
i It was a gloomy thought. Scott
dldnt like to think the time would
ever come when he would be count
ed out and have to take a back
seat in the profession. Bat then
when one person dropped out It
made room for some other fellow
who was entitled to have his in
ning In the game.
Suddenly a feeling ot pure ela
tion surged through Scott.
Perhaps it didn't mean anything.
He wouldn't allow himself to be
lieve it did. But what a break for
some fellow it Dr. Osborne should
take him into partnership. What
a break for himself and Dana it
that fellow should be Scott Stan-
I ley! It was, of course, a pipe
dream, bat the thought kept com
ing back. It only it should hap
pen The summer days waned, and no
part ot Scott's dream came true.
Dr. Osborne and bis wife went
for an ocean cruise. Other doc
tors and their wives took vacations
in the mountains or at the sea
side. Paula and most of her crowd
departed during the worst part ot
the beat and come back looking
tanned from weeks ot outdoor lite
But. though Paula had a deep
coat of tan and chatted expansive
ly about thrilling times, there had
been no lifting ot the shadows in
her eyes.
Then came the day Dana was to
remember as the blackest ot her
Ufe the -day Scott was to remem
ber as his most dismal. It was
i day accompanied, appropriately,
with hard, driving rain and oml
ious rumblings of thunder. ,

BONANZA
BONANZA, Ore. The dance
sponsored by the Townsend club
No. 1 ot Bonanza at the high
school gym New Year's eve was
very well attended. Mostly old
fashioned music was played aud
the greatest entertainment of the
evening was afforded when "Dad
dy" Hamaker called the dances
for a quadrille. Some who had
not danced this for many years
got slightly mixed up which pro
voked much laughter. Better
than $40 was made by the club.
Fourteen guests enjoyed a
bountiful New Year's dinner at
the William Sparks residence,
those present being: Chester
Eyers and wife, Jean and Donnie
Dixon, Mr. and Mrs. wenry
Schmoor and son Bobby, Amos
Slack and wife, Peggy Robertson,
Lloyd and Bett" Sparks and the
host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs.
Sparks,
Mrs. Lyda Brown and Infant
daughter, Shirley Louise, return
ed from the Cottage hospital in
Klamath Falls last Saturday.
Nina Schmoor returned to col
lege at Eugene last Wednesday
morning.
Gravel Is being put on several
roads in and around Bonanza,
According to his granddad, the
kidnaped New York lad lived In
a dream world in which money
didn't seem to batter at all.
Sounds a bit like Washington.
A Colgate professor says a man
thinks bettre with his feet on a
desk, which speakB well for the
quality of thought accorded U. S.
problems In Washington.
