Third Installment
Rackruff Motors hire Rowena to accompany Peter on a nation-wide tour in their roadster as an advertising stunt. At the last minute Little Bobby is engaged to act as chaperon.
A few miles out Bobby becomes tearful at being parted from her sweetheart and Rowena insists on taking her place in the rumble so that she can ride with Peter and have him to talk to about Carter. Rowena gets Peter to consent to divide the expense money each week as soon as it arrives, and astonishes Peter by eating too economically.
To his intence amazement Rowena flushed hotly and bit her lip in some confusion, and most surprising of all, said nothing. Already Peter found it amazing when Rowena had nothing to say.
Certainly she had plenty to say at Niagara Falls when Peter prepared to do his picture of the Rackruff roaster, with her at the wheel, both showing faintly under a mist of falling water. When it came to doing pictures, Peter was unbearable. Carter himself could not have been more hatefully dictatorial. He told her what to wear, how to sit, how to hold the wheel, which way to turn her head, just where to fluff her hair and where to draw it back.
"Oh, Peter," protested Rowena faintly. "Please don't do my profile. I'm terrible that way. My face is too thin for a side flew."
"Oh, I'll fill it in for you," said Peter comfortably. "It shows up better in the car."
"Oh, the car, the car," muttered Rowena crossly. "It's all you think of."
had spent the morning in the rumble seat inditing swift notes on mid-western motoring and was anxious to transcribe them to the typewriter before her memoranda froze on her. So she asked Peter, very politely, if he would pleas do the picture of the roadster and the wooded dell first, while she was putting her notes into permanent form, and then paint her in behind the wheel later on in the afternoon when the rest of the picture was done. Peter was perfectly willing, even eager, to lay over for an extra day, thus to allow time for her work as well as his, but he said a picture never turned out as well when a lady, or a house, or even a dog, was added to a finished product. Said it always stuck out like a sore thumb and never looked just right.
Rowena put up a good argument—Rowena always put up a good argument—Rowena lost her temper—and the delicous log cabin waffles and honey were ruined.
When, very sulkily, but prepared to pose, she flounced down where Peter had parked the car beside a shadowy pool and was setting up his easel, he said he thought better of it and would not use her in that picture—said Bobby was willing to substitute and the change would be a good thing all around. Peter was quite pleasant about it, really thought he was doing her a favor, but Rowena, from being merely sulky, was suddenly furious. She said she had been hired for no other purpose than to serve as a dumb model for his art and that she would jeopardize her contract by accepting this substitute. But Peter insisted that Messrs. Rack and Ruff had left everything about the pictures to his own exclusive judgment and this was his judgment.
to marry him that he swiped the canoe and—"
"The poor fishes lived here after," said Rowena softly.
There were five telegrams in St. Louis and curiously for Peter also. Rowena, he another fat-letter addressed is scrawl, and watching curiosity as she read it, while her brows frowned so slightly, her eyes smoother hazel. Immediately reading, she counted the purse and asked the way graph office.
"Oh, listen to this!" chanted statically. "Darlings, he never forgive me, never to send the police after come right straight home. A little devil in plain English Union."
"Oh, Bobby," begged Rowena spare us until we get a well-known fine, black, said the Middle West out of our hands.
When they stepped into interior, Bobby stumbling bill continued to devour the phrases with her avidity and Peter motioned Rowena be "I want to speak to you—about business—if you'll Bobby."
Rowena turned back at handed her the five telegrams a word. They were all in Rack and Ruff, saying Peters, Inc., was in a state persecution at the hands of ed chemical engineer who led to sue the company, to the factory, and to beat member of the firm.
"What the duce do you..."
Peter was unbearable when drawing pletures.
sports suit," he said, "and the costume will show up nicely in this green dell."
"I know Bobby's clothes are much better than mine," said Rowena stiffly.
"I know my things are very shabby and threadbare, but it seems scarcely necessary to throw it up to me."
"That is very unfair of you, Rowena," said Peter gravely. "You are very beautiful in everything you put on, and you know it. I couldn't speak unfavorably of your appearance if I wanted to."
Rowena without another word, plumped herself down behind the wheel with a set chin, a stern glint in green eyes, and a death grip of her slim hands on the wheel. Peter walked slowly up to her and looked her steadily in the face.
"Then if you will have the truth, Rowena," he said gently. "I would see you hanged before I would try to paint you in this lovely spot. I am so disgusted with the way you act sometimes that I would probably paint you with horns and a tail, which, between you and me, I often suspect you have concealed about you. If I painted you the way you look to me right now they'd not use her in that picture—said Bobby was willing to substitute and the change would be a good thing all around. Peter was quite pleasant about it, really thought he was doing her a favor, but Rowena, from being merely sulky, was suddenly furious. She said she had been hired for no other purpose than to serve as a dumb model for his art and that she would jeopardize her contract by accepting this substitute. But Peter insisted that Messrs. Rack and Ruff had left everything about the pictures to his own exclusive judgment and this was his judgment.
"Bobby is putting on her little red Peter motioned Rowena back at handed her the five telegram a word. They were all Rack and Ruff, saying Morss, Inc., was in a state persecution at the hands of ed chemical engineer who led to sue the company, to the factory, and to beat member of the firm.
"What the duce do you all about?" wondered Peter."
Of course," replied Peter. "If you need more I can let you have it—Don't ever run short of money, Rowena, we can always squeeze out a little extra some way."
"Thanks a lot Peter," said Rowena gratefully. "I think I can manage after this. But you're sweet to make the offer."
Even Rowena was amazed at the number of things about which Peter had his own ideas, all bad ones. The roads provided an unfailing source of dissension. Their route was clear and definite. From Chicago they were to go south to St. Louis, from St. Louis to Kansas City, from Kansas City to Denver. Nothing could be plainer. Between these cities stretched a broad highway, heavily traveled, expensively paved. The car was supplied with the best of motor maps, and the roads were clearly marked at every turning. Rowent—sitting in the snug shade of the stout umbrella she had brought, was comfortably satisfied to travel swiftly, steadily along the main highways from one objective point to another.
But Peter was all for short-cuts across country, and for all his deceptive air of extreme amiability, strongly entrenched in his personal preferences. At every town—although not, as Rowena disagreeably claimed, at every telegraph pole—the made hopeful inquiries for short-cuts—for side-roads—for country lanes away from the traveled thoroughgres.
Bobby, as became a professional chaperon, was non-committally neutral. But so far from appreciating her disinterested amiability, it seemed more irritating to the others than the outspoken opposition they met in each other. And often they turned upon her sharply as if she were to blame for the entire argument.
It was in an exquisite wooded dell in southern Illinois that Rowena had her revenge. They had stopped at a quaint roadside log cabin for luncheon, and Peter, gazing pensively through a wide-open window, decided to do a picture on that very spot. Rowena
with a set chin, a stern glint in green eyes, and a death grip of her alim hands on the wheel. Peter walked slowly up to her and looked her steadily in the face.
"Then if you will have the truth, Rowena," he said gently. "I would see you hanged before I would try to paint you in this lovely spot. I am so disgusted with the way you act sometimes that I would probably paint you with horns and a tail, which, between you and me, I often suspect you have concealed about you. If I painted you the way you look to me right now they'd never sell another Rackruff short of Gehenna."
Rowena's lovely red lips parted, then closed with a sudden click. Her eyes grew so wide, and turned so deep a hazel that Peter marveled he had ever thought them green.
She got out of the car and went up to the log cabin where she met Bobby coming out of the ladies' dressing-room, all dimpling smiles in the pleasant prospect of posing.
"Peter is terribly tired and cross today, poor dear," said Rowena smoothly. "Try to cheer him up, won't you, darling? He's very blue. Tell him about Carter."
"I will," said Bobby sweetly. "I'll tell him about the time he proposed to me. It was terribly thrilling. We were out in a canoe——"
"Peter's waiting," interrupted Rowena quickly. "Yes, tell him about that. Poor dear! He'll be so interested."
A little later, her portable typewriter in her hand she passed that way to seek a secluded spot in the woods for her own work. Bobby dimpiling and delighted, sat low behind the wheel. Peter, looking just a bit grim, moved restlessly from one foot to the other before her canvas. Rowena's eyes showed cloudy flame in blue when she went by.
"And he forgot we were in a canoe way out in the middle of a deep river. He dropped the paddle overboard and bounded down on the cushions beside me.' Darling,' he said, 'you do love me, don't you?' And splash! Over we went, canoe, cushions, luncheon and all! But a little thing like being upset in a cold river didn't bother Carter. He went right on kissing me and said over and over,' Darling, you do love me—you do love me,' and it wasn't until I promised

ANAHEIM GAZETTE
Affairs of Week at Nation’s Capital
(Correspondence to The Gazette)
Washington, D. C.—No official act of any president since war time has been received with such genuine approval or enthusiasm as President Hoover’s recent declaration regarding Germany’s war debts. In effect he proposes to give all debtor nations a year’s extra time, during which no payments will be asked, either of principal or interest. The intention is to stop the terrific drain on the finances of the leading European governments long enough to permit them to catch their breath.
No suggestion is made than any part of the debt will be forgiven. Most Americans feel that the debts should be met with a reasonable payment, such adjustment, if arrived at, to be made only after Congress has had ample time to view the proposition from all angles.
The main purpose aimed at by Hoover, everybody agrees, is to suspend payment long enough to enable private business to return to its usual channels. All foreign governments have shown agreement with the proposal. France uttering the only discordant note by demanding that German payments for damage done its country by the German armies be continued. As this amounts only to $100,000,000 a year, an insignificant sum compared with the full war debt, the objection is not expected to block the adoption of the plan.
President Hoover’s statesmanlike proposal did not come as a surprise to those closely informed on national politics. Several days before the plan was broached, Under Secretary Castle, of the State Department, casually told newspapermen that, the Administration’s mind was not closed on the subject of war debts. When his remarks went unchallenged by the White House they were taken to mean that an official utterance on the subject was impending.
Millicent Gordon, Albany, N. Y., won a silver medal in a recent national penmanship contest.

"I want to speak to you just a minute about business—if you'll excuse us, Bobby."
Rowena turned back at once and handed her the five telegrams without word. They were all from Messrs. Rack and Ruff, saying Rackruff Morsers, Inc., was in a state of persistent persecution at the hands of a red-hairy chemical engineer who had threaten to sue the company, to burn down the factory, and to beat up every member of the firm.
"What the duce do you suppose it's all about?" wondered Peter.
President Hoover's statesmanlike proposal did not come as a surprise to those closely informed on national politics. Several days before the plan was broached, Under Secretary Castle, of the State Department, casually told newspapermen that the Administration's mind was not closed on the subject of war debts. When his remarks went unchallenged by the White House they were taken to mean that an official utterance on the subject was impending.
The President did not issue his statement without testing the temper of Congress, leading Democrats being called in and sounded out as to their attitude. Their warm approval of Mr. Hoover's ideas was followed by the public announcement. Since then such leading candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination as Newton D. Baker and Owen D. Young have expressed their approval of the plan. Their action has removed the project from the broader field of statesmanship.
Another straw that forecast the announcement was the appearance in England and Europe of Secretary of the Treasury Mallon. His informal audiences with European leaders was followed by the President's announcement.
A curious thing about the project is that it came a few days after the June 15 semi-annual payment of war debts had been made. No other payment is due until December 15. Congress will meet eight days before the winter payment falls due and will have to act almost instantly if the plan is to be put into effect this year. Between now and that time it is certain that business men, bankers and farmers will bring pressure to bear upon their representatives in Congress to make them fall in line behind the President and nobody expects but that the plan will go through, practically overnight, when Congress gathers.
If any further proof of the President's ability to gauge public sentiment were needed, it can be found by the favorable reaction of the stock exchange to his proposal, and to the fillip given business in general throughout the country by Mr. Hoover's utterance. It points to the fact that a return to normal conditions is only being prevented by the mental attitude of business men. Although they realize that the President has done nothing that can have any material effect for another six months, yet psychologically the nation has responded enthusiastically and evidences are already beginning to appear that conditions are easing off and the country is feeling it has a man at the helm who can be trusted to indicate the pathway to a return to prosperity.

County Jail Makes New High Record
With not less than 294 prisoners kept under lock and key in the cells, all records at the Orange county jail were broken recently. According to Theodore Lacey, Jr., head jailer, the registration at the jail is the highest on record.
Of the total number of prisoners, 173 were offenders against federal laws, 15 were charged with felonies, and 106 were detained for misdemeanors or other offenses.
Montclair, N. J., has an average of over 13 telephones for every 10 families in the city.

Wild Turkeys Thrive On State Game Farms
Wild turkeys liberated on Redwood Creek, Humboldt county, last Fall, are thriving, according to Captain William Lippincott, of the State division of Fish and Game.
One hen was found with sixteen young birds and two other hens were found, one with fourteen young ones and one with ten, according to the game warden. Other hens were apparently setting, as they were alone.
Due to the interest shown by those who are familiar with the wild turkey, a number of these birds were imported to the state game farms at Chino, in southern California, and Yountville, in Napa county. The species selected is the Mexican bronze turkey.
August Bade, superintendent of state game farms, said that surveys were made to ascertain if California had much natural territory well adopted to these birds. Some excellent turkey range was found and efforts are being made to stock these sections.
Captain Lippincott said that patroling forces are watching the progress of the turkeys in his section very closely. Sportsmen and residents in the locality seem to be very much interested in the welfare of the birds, he reports and indications point to great success with the species.
There is no open season on turkeys in California as yet.
DEATH OF MRS. FLORENCE
Mrs. Elizabeth Florence, who died last Friday, was buried Monday afternoon, the funeral service being at the Hengfeld funeral home with the Rev. R. W. Lee officiating. Burial was on Anaheim cemetery.
Mrs. Florence was a native of Germany, was 72 years old, and came to America when a child. She had lived in California for 14 years.
She is survived by her husband, Frank A. Florence, of Costa Mesa, and four daughters and two sons. She was the mother of Mrs. Albert Gray of Anaheim, the other children living away from Anaheim.
The President's address at Indianapolis, which preceded his war debt announcement, is being taken by political observers here as embodying all the principal planks that will be placed in the Republican Party's platform a year hence. It contains all the constructive policies the party needs, it is asserted, winding up with its "twenty-year plan" for American capitalism which is designed as an answer to the Soviet's five year plan. It is considered as a complete offset to Communistic teachings and will probably be featured in the appeal to the country's voters next year.
It is to be remarked that Mr. Hoover made absolutely no reference to Prohibition in the speech, an indication that the Wet and Dry issue is not likely to be given much importance by the campaigners next year. Both parties look upon Prohibition as a dangerous subject, certain to alienate many voters no matter what decision is reached. As a consequence the coming campaign is expected to sidestep that subject, just as the President omitted it in his talk to the Indiana editors.
Housewives are cautioned by the National Library here to go carefully through any old trunks they may have in the attic and see of they cannot unearth some historical important documents. Dr. Herbert Putnam, the librarian, cites recent finds that have been immensely valuable, among them being some of Benjamin Franklin's old letters, which were found in possession of a tailor in Paris who was using them to cut out patterns. Robert Morris' collection of letters and diaries was found in a stable. Both of these collections are now in the possession of the Library of Congress and are of

When PAIN Comes
WHAT many people call indigestion very often means excess acid in the stomach. The stomach nerves have been over-stimulated, and food sours. The corrective is an alkali, which neutralizes the acids instantly. And the best alkali known to medical science is Phillips Milk of Magnesia.
One spoonful of this harmless, tasteless alkali in water neutralizes instantly many times that mucin acid, and the symptoms disappear at once. You will never use crude methods when once you learn the efficiency of this. Go get a small bottle to try.
