THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD
THU1 S., JULY 27, 1933
SYNOPSIS:
Synopsis: Joyce Ashton, poor
stenographer, suffered loss of mem
ory in a skidding taxicab accident in'
Chicago. One morning two years
later she woke, after a fall from her'
horse, cher memory restored, to find
herself, as Frills, the wife of Neil
Pickard, rich California fruit. packer. I
She determined to tell nobody of her
predicament but set about learning
What she could of her Iife in the in- i
terval. From the conversation of
het. friends and letters in her desk'
she gathered that she had been a
heartless, pleasure -loving young wo-
man. One letter that troubled her
was from a woman signing herself
Sophie, blaming Frills for not giv-
ing a home to a baby Sophie was
caring for. Could it be her baby,
Frills wondered! She also found
herself involved in an affair with a
man named Maitland. In San Fran -
deco, where she went while her hus-
band was away on business, she met
Robert Ainsworth, a poet whose
work she had always admired. When
Joyce returned •home, she decided to
be pleasanter to Neil than Frills
had been. But this line was dan-
gerous, too, for Neil was patheti-
cally anxious to win back Frill's love,
At his request they call upon Neil's
mother, whom. Joyce finds adorable.
Later, she met the poet, Robert
Ainsworth, and several times stop-
ped for lunch at his cabin when she
was horseback riding. One day he
started to make love to cher. Later,
Joyce makes full confession—her
loss of memory and its restoration.
When Neil accuses Joyce and Ain-
sworth of being in love Ainsworth
makes a graceless exit and leaves
upon arriving at home is called to
his mother's home, Joyce decides
she must go away.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
Writing to Neil was difficult:
"Dear Neil," she finally wrote:
"I'm going away --,forgive me, but it
seems the only thing to do. I know
how you feel about facing me after
all we've been through today. When
and she preferred to reniain in 'hid- ,r
ing.
"I know Neil will feel that he
should make every effort to fiod
me," alio thought, "but it'll be bet-
ter if he doesn't succceed."
Joyce found it harder to get a job
than she had supposed. After in-
stalling herself in a cheap rooming-
house under the name of "Florence
Hilton" (to make it easier perhaps
for Neil to get his divorce) she set
out to find employment.
She took to reading,the Want Ads
in the daily papers, but she could
get up no interest in the kind of
work they offered. She found that
the luxury •of living as Mrs. Neil
Packard had sapped her courage,
and left her less able to face hard
work and uncomfortable living con-
ditions. Her room filled her with
horror; she was acutely unhappy ev-
ery moment she had to spend in it.
She began to wonder what 'she
would do when all her money was
spent.
Somewhat sadly she let her mind
open itself to thoughts of Robert
Ainsworth. She had tried to banisb
him but could not quite; persistent-
ly the thought of him would thrust
itself up, only to be persistently ig-
nored. She had but one conclusion
to reach, and that was that he had
failed her, that he had shown him-
self lacking in chivalry and courage,
that perhaps ... he . did .. .
not . . love ... her.
To Joyce this was too bitter for
tears, too bitter for complaint. She
could not hold her head up under
the shame of it.
When the hundred dollars was so
nearly gone that Joyce was seized
with a feeling of sudden panic, she
shook off her lethargic mood and,
striking out avidly for employment
seized upon a position as file clerk
in a large paper concern. The work
could not have been less interesting
or less profitable, but in her disor-
ganized state its very dullness was
beneficial to her, She kept to her
self, thinking that the other girls
were suspicious of her finer clothes
want to come home when Miss Ab-
bott told you Mr, Packard's mother
had died?"
Joyce stared at him in such hon-
est bewilderment that he was im-
pressed. "Why, what en earth are
you saying, Sam? What do you.
mean? Has Mrs. Packard died since
-since I left? Of course I didn't
know! I haven't seen a soul from
Manzanita! Tell nie—•please!" Neil's
mother--ishe knew how fond he was.
of her how he would grieve! •01
course she must go to him at once.
"Gee, that's funny," Sani answer-
ed, "Miss Abbott said—Well, you
see, it was this way," he paused to
collect his thoughts, "guess I'd bet-
ter go back and tell you all that's
happened since you left. When Mr.
Neil carne the next morning and got
' your note he was about sick. He
was sick anyway, looked terrible,
never saw him take on so - . ." Sam
stepped on the gas, a grim expres-
sion around his ;usually pleasant
mouth. "IIe sent for me right away,
and I don't mind telling you that I
told him all I knew. He brightened
a bit when he heard I'd taken you
to the Y.W.C.A. in the city, and we
both went there right away, and mis-
sed you by just twenty minutes, the
clerk said. Wle hung around all day,
hoping you might come back for
something you'd left. Then we carie
home. Mr. Neil was near crazy,
what with worrying about you and
worrying about his mother, who real-
ly was sicker than he'd let you
know...."
"Oh, Sam!" Joyce's misery shot
her words through with pain.
"Well, anyway, Mrs. Packard died
four days afterward. Everyone felt
terribly sorry Mr. Neil. That Mies
Abbott seemed to come around an
awful lit, No one knew anything a-
bout you, but I guess a lot of gossip
went the rounds. Then just two
days ago Roxie told me how she'd
heard Miss Abbott telling Mr. Neil
that she had seen you' in San Fran-
cisco the day before, that she'd told
you about Mr. Neil's mother dying,
but that you'd said ,you were sorry
but you couldn't come back to him."
"Oh, Semi did he believe her? You
don't suppose he really believed her?
"1 dunno. It's hard for men to
know what you Janes are pulling,
But Roxie didn't. She said to nue,
'Sam,' she said, 'I don't trust that
Miss Abbot. I'd have to hear them
words from Mrs. Packard herself be-
fore I'd believe them, her having
changed and got so nice lately, and
all—'" .Sam paused in confusion.
"Go on, Sam," said Joyce, "It's all
right"
"Well, so Roxie she said to me
that I was to go to San Francisco
and not come back 'until I found you!
So I came, and doggone if I didn't
find you the second day!"
"So Roxie believed in mel" .Toyce
thought, deeply touched. And aloud
she said, "Bless her! I always felt
Roxie could be depended .on!"
Suddenly she realized that they
tvere more than half way to Man-
zanita.
Half way home!
A sob caught in her throat.
The house seemed deserted when
they arrived, and Joyce who had
been nerving herself for a reception
by "the gang," felt tremendously
relived. She wanted a little time
before seeing any one, even the
faithful Roxie for whom her heart
was full of gratitude. She slipped
quietly up to 'her bedroom, and
stretched out on the bed, in tense
silence.
What next? What next? She had
never felt .less mistress of the sit-
uation since she had found herself
Frills Packard.
Gradually, as night drew on, she
heard sounds downstairs, and, along
with pangs of hunger, she relaxed
somewhat and began to consider
facing Neil Packard. She took a
hasty bath, and dressed :herself in
one of the pretty frocks that still
hung in her closet. It ehocleed her
to notice how worn and haggard she
looked; the life she had led in San
Francisco had left its mark.
Sam was standing by the door as
Joyce came down the wide stairs!
he smiled at her with a return of
the old; friendliness, and then slipped
out.
She was left facing her husband.
All thought of how she should
meet Anis situation vanished when
she saw Neil. Such an intensity of
unhappiness brooded over his face
that Joyce was instantly stabbed,
and without a moment's hesitation
she ran toward him. Isere was
some ono of whom she was genu-
inely fond, in the greatest trouble -e
no thought but to comfort hint! He
did not once lase his self-control,
but the tragic look in his eyes light-
ened When he saw her., and his whole
tense expression softened.
"It was a lie, Neil!" she said. "It
was a lie that I knew! Of course.
She bad tried to banish him but could not quite
you wrote the that you would `camp
out somewhere else tonight' I quite
understood. Please don't think I,
blame you—all the fault is mine
from beginning to end but 1 'could-
n't beat to be the cause of malting
your home repellent to you. Nor
could S bear to see you being chiv-
alrous and pretending that you
wanted me here when you didn't!
You can see there's nothing else for
me to ado. I'm not going to Robert
Ainsworth of course — don't think
that. I ani now enjoying the bitter-
ness of 'my mistake about hini. I'Il
go to San. Francisco, and perhaps
there I can make some plan about
my life, I'm taking about 8100 I
have in cash, and some day I'll pay
you back."
Joyce hesitated when she reached
that point. She wanted to tell Neil
hew awfully much she appreciated
his niceness, his kindness, to Frills,'
but she simply couldn't let herself go
on this subject. So she ended brief-
ly. "I'll get in touch with you be-
fore long, Neil, because you'll want
to be getting a• divorce and I shan't
stand in your way. Joyce."
Sam was warming up the motor
of the Duesenberg; she could heat
it purr outside the long French win-
dows.
Joyce flung herself down on the
davenport and stifled her sobs in a
pillow.' "0h, Dicky," she said as .a
soft little nose insinuated itself into
her :clenched palm, 1"Why should I
feel so utterly teretcned about the
only decent thing I've done since I've
been in this house? I don't want to
go, D-icky, I 'really don't want to
leave at 'ant"
Joyce had Sam take her to the
Y.W:C.A. in which she had prev-
iously stayed in San Francisco, but
she remained there only .over night,
feeling that if Neil pressed ,Sam very
hard, he might tell her whereabouts,.
It amused her to wonder what they
would think if they knew how she
really got them!
One day, less than a week after'
she had begun her job, Joyce was
leaving the office at five -thirty in
company with two of the other girls,
with whom she was exchanging de-
sultory remarks,' when a familiar
voice made her tremble.
"Oh, Mrs. Packard, Mrs. Pack-
ard!" It was Sam, calling to her
from the Duesenberg, which he
steered quickly to the curb and
stopped. "Gee, I'm glad I found
you!" He was out in a moment and
holding the door for her, and Joyce.

ment sof the office girls, or even tc

'Sawn started the ear 'before he'
spoke further, and Joyce, suddenly
overcome, burst' into tears and be.

"There, there," Sam was saying.
"it's all right, gee, I'm glad I found
you!" .. . and then in a minute.
when Joyce was calmer, "Shall T

you want to get your bags first?"
"Oh, Sam, I mustn't go to Man-

weak-minded as you think! If you
don't mind driving me around for a
little, until I get control ." she
sobbed afresh.
"What do you mean, weak-mind-
ed? Excuse tne, Mrs. Packard, but
I think there's a tall lot of explain.
ing to be done somewhere!"
Sam suddenly reddened, and lookee
at her with a mixture of apprehen-
sion and determination. "Maybe it's
none of my business, and all that
but -gee, I like you and Mr. Pack-
ard both too much---" Hestopped
confusedly, and then shot at 'her 'a'

AN INTERESTING GOLF
COURSE IN THE ROCKIES
Beaver Gives Golfer Lessons in
• Etiquette
Jasper, Alta, July 24—Oswald the
beaver, -with his wife Sophia, lives
in a house of :his own making on the
shore of Lae Beauvert close to the
16th green of the Jasper Park Lodge
Golf Course, In a matter of seven
years he has seen golfers come and
golferse go and has learned many
things about the game. He proved
thig a month or so ago when the
course ,opened for the 1933 season.
Major Fred Brewster, Rocky
Mountain guide, and Doctor O'Hagan
were playing an inaugural round.
Caddies having not arrived the first
day, they were carrying their own
clubs. On the sixteenth green, Major
Brewster laid his mashie on the
close crepped sward while he walked
to the far edge of the green to putt.
This breach of etiquette was too much
for Oswald who was chewing at a
piece of willow branch nearby. He
ambled over and without ado pulled the
mashie off the green and dropped it
in the rough.
Animals area source of entertain-
ment and surprise on this
famous golf course. In '1928,
Irvin S. Cobb, playing with Bob
Davis, drove from the tenth tee,
hooked a shot into the trees and
struck an interested coyote square
en the snout and thereby transform-
ed him into the only pug-nosed coy-
ote in existence.
When Earl Haig, ,commander -int.
chief of the •British Armies in the
world war, officially opened the
course in 1025, a member of his en-
tourage had his tee shot on the first
hole pounced upon and fought over
by two bears, one of which finally
tore the ball to shreds and swallow.
ed it, thus leaving the player to face
the neat problem of whether to drop
a new ball or play the bear.
GHOSTS OF BYGONE DAYS
LIVED' AGAIN AT JASPER
Ghosts of bygone days lived on the
streets of Jasper, Alta., recently as
the Jasper Park Rodeo and Turf Club
held its eighth annual meet. Pre-
lude to the rodeo was a parade in
which fur trader, trapper, Indian,
surveyer, soldier, mounted policeman,
civil engineer and redman were pre-
sented in costume. Some notable
pioneers of the Canadian Rockies
lent colorful reality to the pageant-
ry, Noble Findley, engineer who
laid steel from Wainwright to the
Pacific, played ei prominent role,
while Thomas C. Young, locomotive
foreman at this point, rode the cab
of an ancient mogul much as he did
during a lifetime of pushing twin
steel ribbons through the western
frontier, ,
Days when Jasper House was fam-
ed for its hospitality to the mountain
wayfarer was recalled as John Mob-
erley, descendent of the famous sur-
veyer, rode in the fringed leather
jacket and leggins of the fur trading
adventurer. Two of the hest Ioved
figures in the presentation were
Louis Swift and his wife who settled
near Jasper town in 1892. They rode
in the covered wagon, smybol of
settling civilization. Engineer Ji
McLean who pulled the first passen-
ger train into Jasper took up his
controls once more in the parade of
mountain progress.
Dozens of cowboys and girls from
ranches in the district took part with
their mounts and Indians from Grand
Cache encamped on the race track in-
field. There were a number of en-
tries for the feature mile race to
whose winner went the prized Kings-
land trophy. Horses imported from
Hittot and Edson, Alberta, gave the
Local mounts plenty of competition.
Among the entries -were horses from
the Davidson Ranch, prize stock of
their New York owner.
The minister advertised for a man
servant in the local paper, and the
next morning a nicely -dressed young
man rang the bell.
"Can you start the fire and get
breakfast by seven o'clock?" ask-
ed the minister,
"I guess so," answered the young
man.
"Well," continued the minister,
"can you polish all the silver, wash
the dishes and steep the house neat
and tidy?"
"Say, parson," said the young
man. "I came here to see about•
-
getting married—but, if it's going
to be as much work as all that, you
can count me out right now."

All business houses need more or less printed matter, all of which
is within the possibilities of the local printer. Yet bow prone many
are to pass up the home printer and let the orders go to city offices
which have no interest whatever in rural communities except to get
printing orders and the cash paid for them. Business men, re-

of the home community and you owe itto yourself and your local
paper to back up these efforts by at least having your printed mat-
