I won't let you think that I want you for what you have!" “Of course you don't.” He shook his head impatiently. “I didn’ mean that. It's just that I can't see how you can possibly care for me. I tricked you.” “Oh, that!” She was startled “Haven't you seen Freddy Mun- son?

Let me get this| straight.”” His tone was almost im- personal. “You thought that I was trying to buy you, and that was the reason you wrote me that let- ter and came down here?” “Yes.” “You despised me, and you'd have gone on despising me to the end of time, if it hadn't been for Freddy Munson?” “Yes. Freddy came down here to see me. He told me—" “I know what Freddy told you I know all about it.” Sam stared at him in complete astonishment. “You do?” “Yes. Freddy came in to see me after he got back to the city. He gave me the whole story.” PSS JUNEAU RADIO SERVICE CO. Phone 79 Service Tubes Open Evenings P ] W. P.

It was decent of him to think of thal version, and mor2 than decent of him to tell you what he thought—but at the sam2 time, he was wrong. I didn't give Fourth the money so that you'd be free to marry Munson. Not at all.” “You didn’t?” She was bewilder- ed. “Then why—" “I'll tell you why.” He nodded grimly., “I gave Fourth the money for precisely the meaning you thought in the beginning. I was trying to buy you.” She stared. Then she shook her head calmly. “I don't believe it.” “I'm glad you don't. I wish I didn't, myself. The fact remains, however, that it's true. Freddy Munson told me that you were in love with him, and asked me to release you from your engagement to me. I wouldn't do it. Instead, I |gave you the money in the hop2 that it might make you see things differently. Just as you thought /in the beginning. I tried to buy you." Sam was silent for a time. Then she said in a tired, choked voice: “Why did you have to tell me this, Peak? Why did you have to say it? I was so happy.” “I'm sorry. I couldn’t help it.” He did not move or glance in her direction. “I deceived you once,! and I'm not going to do it again. You know everything now. You know that you were right when you despised me in the first place. You know that you will be right in de- spising me from now on. You know why I didn’t react as you ex- pected when you offered to marry me just now. You know every- thing.” | He got to his feet and wandered |down to the water's edge, wher: he stood kicking at the sand with |the toe of his shoe. Sam did not |stir. She sat where she was with | her eyes closed until Peak return- ed. “I think we'd better be going" he said quietly, looking down at her. “It's getting late.” “Sit down,” said Sam. “Please sit down.” He sat down. “Well?” Sam said: “Are you going back| to the city tonight?” “Yes.” “I wish you wouldn't. you'd stay here—with me.” “You want me to stay? With you? It was Peak's turn for as- tonishment. “Why?" Sam opened her eyes and smiled. “Because I want you to stay. Be- cause, Mr. Abbott, I love you. That is why, Is it enough?” Peak shook his head as if to throw off the effects of a blow. Hz clinched his fist. He said unevenly, ‘You don't mean that, Sam. You don't know what you're saying.” “You think not?” she inquired calmly. “You're wrong. 1 know ex- actly what I'm saying. For tae sec- ond time this afternoon I'm asking you to marry me. How about it" Peak stare vaguely about him at the warm April landscape. “I wonder,” he inquired heavily, “if you understanda word of what I've been trying to say for the last half hour? Do you realize that I've been giving you every reason to distrust, dislike, and cven hate me?” %" “Do you believe what I've been saygin? You must.” “All right. Will you marry me, or won't you?” Peak groaned. “I've deceived you and made you unhappy, and de- stroyed your belief, and yet you're asking me to marry you." “Yes.” “But it doesn't make sense.” “I know.” She smiled. “I know exactly what you mean.

Do you mean that youre willing to forget what TI've done to you? That you don’t care?” “Yes, I'm willing to forget, and I don't care. As a matter of fact, I don't care if you smoke opium and rcb banks. That's the state I'm in.” “And you're ready to marry me tomorrow?” “Tomorrow?” She frowned “What's the matter with tonight? Don't you think you could arrange it for tonight?” His voice was husky. “I can try.” “That’s good.” She looked up at him. “And now? Don't you think you could arrange to kiss me—at least once?” He sat down on the sand beside her and looked into her eyes. They were wide and dark. “I can try,” he said softly, taking both her hands. “I most certainly can try.” THE END MiISS ERICSON AND MR.H.BARRAGAR WED IN SEATTLE NOV. 10| The marriage of Miss Lorraine Claudia Ericson to Mr. Harvey James Albert Barragar took place at the home of the bride’s parents Mr. and Mrs. Claude Ernest Eric- son in Seattle on November 10, ac- cording to announcements just re- ceived here.

TASTE-TEST PROVES SUPERIORITY OF ROASTING METHOD Hills Bros. Coffee, Roasted Differently, Has Flavor No Other Coffee Has To drink Hills Bros. Coffee, after fiou have been drinking other rands, is certainly a revelation. It has a marvelously rich, satisfying flavor that no other coffee has. This delicious difference is due to the way Hills Bros. Coffee is roasted. Instead of roasting in bulk, as others do, Hills Bros. use a process they invented and pat- ented. It’s called Controlled Roasting. As the accuracy of the hour-glass depends u?on an even, continuous flow ...ali ittle at a time . . . so the delightful, unvarying flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee is produced by this patented process that roasts evenly, continuously . . . a little at a time. Temperature and flow of coffee through the roasters are al- ways under control. (Hence the name “Controlled Roasting,”) A uniform roast, such as no bulk method equals, is absolutely as- sured. A perfect, unvarying flavor results in every pound. This delicious coffee comes to you in vacuum cans. Air, which makes coffee go stale, is removed and kept out of these cans. Ordinary, “air- tight” cans won’t keep coffee fresh. But Hills Bros. Coffee can’t go stale! Order some today. Ask for it by name, and look for the Arab trade- mark on the can. old daughter. Judge Schauer said he was pow- erless to act.
