THURS., MAY 17, 1934 THE STORY SO FAR long eyes blazing the anger at him. Nancy Gordon trades herself in I "I wish I could," she' panted, "I marriage with ' Dr. Richard Morgan wish I could." But even her fury did not move for fifteen thousand dollars—to save ' him now; he sent her home. her family from the disgrace of her brother Roddy's theft of that amount for a woman. Nancy loves pennil- less young Page Roemer, and Rich- ard is loved by I3elena Haddon, a sophisticated young married woman. Kingdon Haddon, Helena's husband, sees the elopers, but holds his coun- sel. After the eereusony, Nancy re- turns to her parents' home, and con- tinues to see Page, who urges her to divorce her husband. Mr. Gordon, to release his daughter from what he considers her shameful marriage, sells his house to his friend Major Lomax, who rents it to the original owner. Helena is jealous of Rich- ard's interest in Nancy, although she knows nothing .of the marriage, and tries to make trouble. Once Page comes to Nancy's home and makes love to her. Nancy is frantic—she loves Page but refuses tD go back on her bargain with Richard by divorc- ing. him. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "D'on't" touch "me, Helena," : Rich- ard said, not ungently, looking down at her kindly, "it's diphtheria." "I don't care!" she cried "you're worn out—where's the nurse? Who's that Why—Nancy Gordon!" Nancy, facing them sullenly, felt that she looked a fright. "I came in bbcaues of the storm," she said sharply, "I'm going now!" "My car's up the road. •Page, help Nancy over •the hill; she's exhausted, too," said Helena, sweetly, been sick nursing all night, I suppose?" "No, she hasn't; she can't stay, and you can't either, Helena," said Richard sharply. "Roemer, can you take a message for me? Send my man down here?" "Of_course. I'll phone—I reckon some wires are up. Mrs. Haddon, you're coming with Nancy and me " Nancy, at the door, looked. back fullin their faces. She was out- lined against the sunshine, small and slight and mighty defiant. Helena was late coming home that day. Haddon, had returned from the bank, and was sitting in his study when he •heard his wife enter the house. "How's Polestar?" she asked lazily. Haddon stopped smoking for . a moment. "He's going to get over it. I sent for Arlou—first rate man, you know; That confounded boy!" Helena laughed hysterically, "it wasn't the boy's fault," she said. "I'vebeen out with Page Roemer searching for that girl—you know she ran out of the inn in the rain? Fake is in love with her, and I had to help him find her. Where do you suppose she was?" Haddon shrugged. "How the dei vil do I know? Wlith Morgan 'I sup- pose." His wife started. A new and rend- ing suspicion laid hold of her. "You look fagged out. Better gel' Johnson to make you a stiff cup of coffee,' he advised coolly. "You look all iii." "She was with Morgan. She'd gone into that wretched Kinney wo- man's shack. The child's down with diphtheria. She and Morgan were there all night, if you please, taking care of that child!" Haddon threw his head back and laughed heartily. "Mighty Convenient to have diph- theria sometimes; isn't it?" His cool enjoyment of a thing that was biting into her very soul infur- iated Helena. "You met Nancy Gordon in Wash- ington—I mean, you saw her there once, King," she said slowly, with studied coolness. "I remember your saying something—what was she do- ing there anyway?" He laughed shortly, a malicious light showing in the back of his eyes. "She was with Dick Morgan, that's all," he answered her dryly. "They left here together—the day I went to the golf tournament. Afterwards, I' went to register at the hotel. I've leave her case." "Why?" she asked in a smothered "Nancy—" Richard took a step voice- forward, but she never turned her "They'd registered as man and head. They could see her walking wife, that's all!" straight and steady across the wet Melena drew a long breath. Be - path to the road. ford his eyes she grew as white as a dying woman. He half rose from hos chair with an inarticulate ex- clamation, 'but she rallied, straight- ened herself and stood erect. He. sank back in his chair with a foolish laugh, like a man in sudden relief from pain. His wife was summoning all her sir•ength to walk slowly to the door, She must be alone! Something in the suppressed fury of her look warn- ed him; he knew he had been rash. "Helena!" he said sharply. "What is it?" He leaned forward earnestly, cau- tioning her with a raised hand .af warning. "Mind, not a word of this!" he said sharply, "no scandal involving me - even in hearsay." She looked over her shoulder at, him with an odd twisted smile. "Do you really think I care ---one way or the ,other—about that girl?" she asked scornfully. "NO," he said dryly, "but I'm pret- ty damned sure now -that you do— for the man." She had her hand on the door and she met his eyes with fire in her look, and hatred. But she, said noth- ing. Up in her own room, Helena was sitting on the edge of her bed, white teeth set hard. She was going over and over thosecrazy moments, when she had made a fool of herself, and lately -yes, lately she had been no better than a mendicant •begging, the arms of love! .And all the while it was Nancy Gordon! 'He loved the girl! Yet the tide of her hatred was turning—not onhim—but on Nnacy. Nancy was a woman, and Helena knew where to strike a woman. Fury rose in her like a'. tide.

Nancy was at the top of the hill when he overook her. Unconsciously, the other two stood at the door and watched. They, saw Page reach her and Nancy turned, said something, and walked .on. But the young yuan, nothing daunted, pressed' close behind her. Helena, watching and listening keenly, heard the fierce catch - in Richard's breath Then she. looked np at him and stood still, her heart beating heavily against her breast, All the life and the light had run out of his look.

She broke down wildly, clenching; her hands against her breast, hes I trust company, Old man Beaver had conceived a chronic distrust of 'young Gordon. "Going on another bat I think," he wrote Lomax, "something' eating the boy—women or wine or something, can't make it out. - Don't lend the old man too much." Major Lomax rubbed the end of his nose with his pen. He was think- ing of Nancy when he heard the front door shut violently and the rush of feet in the hall. Angie came in, dropped into a chair by his desk and began to cry. The Major eyed her for a moment, then laid down his pen. "What's the matter? Shut off the water .works! Whets wrong now, child? Who's hurt your feelings?" Angie dashed away her tears chok- ing and gasping. "I'm not hurt, I'm mad!" she said, fiercely. "Uncle Robert, they're say- ing. things—perfectly awful things about Nancy Virginia." The old man picked up bis pen mechanically and added up two -sets of figures. His niece strangled an- other :sob. "It's about Richard Morgan it's —it's perfectly awful. Uncle Ro'- bert.'. ,One thousand, nine hundred and ninety -mine plus-�-- .The major sus-, pended his pen. "Tell me the whole business, An- gie" The girl's eyes fell before his. "It's a horrid thing, uncle!" "Humph! Where did you get it?" Angie told him. The woman had a good name, not much sof a gossip either, she had it on good authority. "Everybody knows!" Angie sobbed. "I—I'd like to kill Dr. Morgan!" "You haven't told me what it is yet," said her uncle dryly.. "8 hate to soil my mouth with such talk!" his niece cried, her face a, flame. Angie sobbed, "I I'd like, to. kill Dr. Morgan!"!" Little by little the old man drew story out of her. It had grown since Helena had started it, and it was very reasonable. The major drummed on his desk: with his fingers, his eyes fixed on the distant view from his windows. He had known Richard from, boyhood Not a usual bog a good deal of a man always, the anajor thought. "It's a darned lie, Angie," he said finally. "0f course it is!" she agreed "ani you've got to stop it, Uncle Robert." Tho •major patted her hand, "That's right! I like to bear you, but you can't stop women's tongues, ,child. You'd better get Nancy to come out with the truth. That's the way to meet it." "As if she had anything to tell - she can't have!" Angie turned in- dignant n dignant eyes upon him. He shook his head. "No! But there's something at the bottom of it; too much smoke, Angie.". It was two days before Haddon heard the story, a garbled story, but carne home white with rage. "By God, Helena, if I thought you'd started . this!" he stormed fiercely finding her alone in her room., She looked him over from head to foot, 'beautiful and insolent. "Do you' imagine you were the only one 'bo read that register?" she ask- ed cuttingly. He recoiled in spite of himself, Of course •he had been a fool and Bowe off the handle about nothing. "No,t' he answered • coldly. "Lord!" he said, "women are the devil!" and he beard his wife's laugh as he shut the door. At first Nancy suspected nothing, but she felt a change, subtle, com- plete, chilling. The old friendly at- mosphere seetned to recede and leave her marooned. She fancied that it had something to. do with Polestar Haddon had made a great deal of'tha' incident, he had discharged Henry ani? told the whole story. Major Lomax overtook her one day . on her way home. "Going down to Warrenton tamer• row to spend the day with Angie ane her cousin?" he asked pleasantly, Nancy smiled. "Why, yes, Angie asked me—she says her cousin told her' she might bring a friend. There's a cross country race, isn't there?" The eld man nodded. "Angie won" ride, I've forbidden her. She can't keep her seat on one 'of Jack Fuller's horses. I lfelieve you're a reikless' young' devil, Nanny.

The old man stopped short, lean- ing on his cane, and peered at her. "That isn't the reason people stare at you, my child," be said gravely. Nancy lifted startled eyes to his face; what she saw there frightener' her. The major drew a pattern on the ground with his one.

SUN SPOTS TO CAUSE FLOODS Calls Years 1936-38 Says Rainfall To Increase in Next Two Years San Francisco --•• Great floods throughout the world in 1936.38 are predicted by Captain Thomas J. See, veteran professor of mathematics in the United States Navy. He based his forecast on the effect of huge sun spots. Rainfall will increase for the next two years, afterwhich the floods will occur, said Captain See, adding that the sun spots cause the weather varia- tion by mixing hot and cold air through lessening the heat of the earth, thereby permitting the cold currents of air to descend. Captain See, with 45 years experi— ence in scientific work, collaborated for many years with the late Rev. Jerome S. Ricard of Santa Clara Uni- versity in the study of Father Ric- ard's theory that sun spots cause weather changes. "Since the decrease of sun spots be- gan in 1928," Captain See declared, "very great droughts have been ob- served in nearly all the countries of the globe, notably the drought of 1930, in the Mississippi valey, which accentuated the evils of the depres- sion„ and that of 1933, which delayed agricultural recovery. "But now large sun spots have re- appeared, and will for the next four years, yielding vast floods in 1936-3% and; an increasing rainfall this yea/ and next, after which the floods will become notable, as during the Mis- sissippi floods of 1927."
