One of the men recently ar- rested here on a charge of vag- rancy claims to be an inventor. He said he wanted to get back to Chicago, so the county, as it is doing with other “strays”, is to- day giving him passage as’ far north as Miami.

She donned blu:? sharkskin slacks and a white sifk shirt, brushed her red-gold hair till it fell in crisp, shining waves about her face, then huigied dowm to the beach. She felt warsand exhausted this morning, not able to stand the strain of ‘the memories her dreams had roused. Doc Burrows said she must keep her mind off her probleras till she was rested. She walked the mile to Carlos’ shack and’ gradually the damp fragrance of the morning, the whispering: of the tall pines, the tumbling :rush of the blue water on white sand helped to sooth her frayed nerves. She centered her mind reso- lutely on Carlos’ amusing fear of poisoning, a fetish to cover his hospitable nature, which had caused him much unpleasantness from neighboring innkeepers! He wouldn’t .be back until Sunday probably. Herj heart, pounding suddenly with warm excitement, warned her she mustn’t think of Carlos. She knew) it was because , Carlos was with | Clark Pasquin that she had had the wild night of dreams. Carlos was seeing Clark, talk- ing. to him . - hearing that humorous, friendly voice, watch- ing his strong, weil-shaped hands gesturing as he talked. . Desperately she hurried along the pine-bordeited path. Her trouble and pain'had temporarily cut off memories ut now, sharply etched by emotion, came the vision of her last evening with Clark ... the soft throbbing back- ground of city! traffic . . . the strength of his arms around her, his eyes searching hers, his voice a low whisper, “You don’t ybe- lieve I’m in lowe with you. Well, he hadin’t been, she ‘told herself fiercely. And she wasn’t in love with) him! It was only a passing meeting. He’d forgotten it. So had slme. So had she. She was almost running now, in an effort to stop her thoughts. They were worlds apart. He’d realized it as soon as she had left the city. Suddenly ‘her body shook with a racking sob. Thank heavens, there was the shack on the crag above her! She’d talk to the housekeeper—get her mind off this squirrel track! She started up the winding path at a gasping run... ‘And saw coming down the path toward her—Clark! He was in rough tweeds and a green sweater, swinging a stick at the weeds along the path as he came at a rapid swinging stride. He looked up at her light, choking call and saw her, standing a slim, poised figure at the turn of the path with the green oeean be- hind her and the sunlight filtering through the trees to halo her titian head. “Rita!” At the eager sincerity of his | voice, Rita’s desperate wall of control suddenly crumbled. She was running towards him —she was in his arms, erying with the luxurious abandon of a child. Great Old Sport | Daas as they drove blissfully along the sewenteen - mile stretch of beautiful coastline be- tween Carmel and Del Monte, Rita found abruptly the terrible loneliness that had engulfed her since Rolly’s death was gone. Peacefully she watched the breeze lifting Clark’s dark hair, traced his famous profile against the blue of the sea, and smiled dreamily back at him. “What if Carlos hadn’t youl” she cried once. “Carlos couldn’t have resisted playing Cupid,” Clark grinned. “He had to come with me in the plane, too, to see the reunion. He’s a great old sport.” His tone was light and his changing of the sub- ject deliberate. She looked so frailly lovely, so frighteningly white against the ted leather of the car seat he didn’t want to risk questions and explanations. He was burning with curiosity of course. Why hadn’t she answered his wire? Why had she left her home with- out leaving a forwarding address? He wanted her to tell him the truth back of all those wild stories of Gloria’s about an uppaid loan, and trouble with the stockholders of her father’s factory. But these things could wait. They were un- important. told Whatever the trouble had been, * the only thing that mattered now was helping her to forget it—or to work it out. To erase the haunted look from her face and bring back that game little tilt of her chin, her old buoyancy. He began to make plans for the rest of the day .. . lunch at the lodge, a swim in the hotel pool, dinner, dancing, a moonlit drive back to her hotel. As long as Carlos was so surprisingly co- operative, they must take advan- tage of it. And next week she must come up to Frisco. . . . His eyes twinkled suddenly. “Remember that siege you're in for?” And with the words, he stopped the car as he had once before and took her into his arms. The Detective OU know,” she said, “This isn’t the right sort of place for us to straighten out every- thing.” He laughed. “Of course not. That’s why I stopped here.” For a moment neither spoke, and then Rita stirred in his arms, and sighed. “Do you know that the only reason you’re here is that Carlos is a good detective?” “He’s a lot of things, but I never should have called him a de- tective.” “It's true, just the same.” She sat up a . “He was looking through a paper, and I saw some- thing in it that made me feel— strangely. I feit faint, a little.” “And then?” “And then Carlos looked at me —you see he was very anxious to see you—and began wondering what I could have seen at that distanee to make me act the way I did.” “T think I understand—” “Probably. Well, his detective instinct got the better of him. It couldn’t have been anything I had read, he deduced, beeause I was too far from the paper. Therefore it must have been the picture.” “And it was my picture?” She murmured from his shoul- der, “Yes. You know, I thought we weren't ever to be together again.” He stroked her hair tenderly. “There’s nothing in this world strong enough to keep us apart.” WAR Takes No Holiday / Invest in Victory —Put 10% of Your Pay in Wor Bends . |TWO NEGROES ARE HELD FOR TRIAL Yesterday afternoon, down That led to a fight, and when Sheriff Berlin Sawyer reached the scene, Bethel was hitting Me with a cue, and McGill was hitting Bethel with an inary stick, and both were ble ing. sheriff said rest both of t Bethel and McGill raigned t morning Justice of the Peace E quinaldo and each w $50 bail for the ~ Sunday's _ Horoscope Ss ar- were ar-} before E: held nal court Todav's Birthdays Maj.
