TENTH INSTALLMENT
Synopsis: Joyce Ashton, poor stenographer, suffered loss of memory in a skidding taxicab accident in Chicago. One morning two years later she woke, after a fall from her horse, her memory restored, to find herself, as Frills, the wife of Neil Packard, rich California fruit packer. She determined to tell nobody of her predicament but s et about learning what she could of her life in the interval. From the conversation of her friends and letters in her desk she gathered that she had been a heartless, pleasure-loving young woman. One letter that troubled her was from a woman signing herself Sophie, blaming Frills for not giving 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 Francisco, where she went while her husband 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 dangerous, too, for Neil was pathetically anxious to win back Frill's love.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
"Can you stand it to have only me for dinner this once?" asked Joyce.
"Whoopee! Just ask me, can I!" he replied. "You know that, Frills, old kid. I'll go up and wash and be right down again."
him to believe it. It was perfectly obvious to her that he loved Frills and that he was a little afraid of her.
Joyce wondered with a sudden thump of her heart how he would like a baby around the house. If she could only ask him about that baby in New York.
"I promised Dickie to throw a stick for him," she said as they left the table, "if you care to join us, come along," and she ran across the terrace and down the wide stone steps to the stretch of lawn at the top of the garden without waiting for a reply. Packard lighted a cigarette and followed her more slowly. By the time he joined them she was racing around with Dickie, having a lively game and secretly amused to wonder what he thought of the unusual sight of Frills enjoying a childishly simple pleasure of this kind.
She turned to him and asked very abruptly, "Are you very tired after your trip?"
"Good Lord, no!" he answered, evidently startled, "why?"
It's going to be glorious moonlight in a few minutes. Let's go for horseback ride." His look of blank amazement at this suggestion caused her heart to sink for a moment. Suppose he refused! A gust of angry impatience struck her. If they didn't hurry, somebody would come and spoil her plan!
"What's the matter? Afraid it'll cause a scandal if any one discovers you've been out with your own wife?" she demanded.
been about to say, "nervous," when she was absurdity of Frills Packing like that.
Packard looked surprised obediently fell away and undecided whether to go or him for his lack of experience when he crossed her, so unpleasant that he lesson thoroughly.
Try as she would, keep Robert Ainsworth thoughts. The beauty brought vividly to mind personality. It would be the right man!
Joyce wondered most back if her silence put much. She would have enough, but nothing else remarks seemed to occur was little help for her silence. What was he ing at him she thought to "Prunes!"
"Don't you feel well, you're sort of quiet Packard, in what Joyce herself as a 'cautious' I feel absolutely retorted with spirit, "causeless just once without it?"
"Oh, sure, only it's... like you."
Joyce, torn between
When Packard came down the stairs Joyce divined his intention to kiss her again, and she moved toward the dining room immediately, saying, "Dickie eats with us. At least he sits at the table and snaps up what favors he can persuade me to give him, don't you, darling? He has his regular dinner in the kitchen."
"Where do you want his chair?" inquired Packard politely. "Here you are, boy, get up and let's see how good your table manners are."
They sat down opposite each other at the small round table with Dickie between them. Joyce was struck by the lingering bewilderment on Packard's face. There seemed to be something he couldn't quite understand, but he asked for no explanations.
"Gee! it's good to be home again," he began. "I sure do hate Chicago." She asked politely, "Was the conference a success?"
"Good Lord, no!" he answered, evidently startled, "why?"
It's going to be glorious moonlight in a few minutes. Let's go for horseback ride." His look of blank amazement at this suggestion caused her heart to sink for a moment. Suppose he refused! A gust of angry impatience struck her. If they didn't hurry, somebody would come and spoil her plan!
"What's the matter? Afraid it'll cause a scandal if any one discovers you've been out with your own wife?" she demanded.
"Are you afraid it'll cause a scandal of anyone discovers you've out with your own wife?"
When Packard came down the stairs Joyce divined his intention to kiss her again, and she moved toward the dining room immediately, saying, "Dickie eats with us. At least he sits at the table and snaps up what favors he can persuade me to give him, don't you, darling? He has his regular dinner in the kitchen."
"Where do you want his chair?" inquired Packard politely. "Here you are, boy, get up and let's see how good your table manners are."
They sat down opposite each other at the small round table with Dickie between them. Joyce was struck by the lingering bewilderment on Packard's face. There seemed to be something he couldn't quite understand, but he asked for no explanations.
"Gee! it's good to be home again," he began. "I sure do hate Chicago." She asked politely, "Was the conference a success?"
"Hell!" grinned Packard. "I should worry about that. But you can't blame me for . . . for wondering if I'd heard you right. You—we haven't spent many evenings together lately."
There was something in his voice which hurt Joyce a little. She had not found him exactly interesting so far, but she already liked him enough to be sorry for the way Frills had been treating him. "Well, it's up to you," she replied, "I'm going for a ride and if you want to come, all right." Secretly she quailed at the idea of going out alone for the first time. Would it be light enough for safety? Could she handle Rosita?
But Packard accepted without further questioning. "I'll tell Sam to saddle up while we get into our things," he said. "Run on in, darling. Let's light up before any of the gang shows up."
"Take Dickie with you and leave him silence. What was he doing at him she thought: 'Prunes!'"
"Don't you feel well, you're sort of quiet Packard, in what Joyce herself as a 'cautious' I feel absolutely retorted with spirit, 'caused self just once without it?'"
"Oh, sure, only it's... like you."
Joyce, torn between amusement, answered, I do is me isn't it?
Packard made no reply little later on he said here, sweetheart. I saw mother today on my wrist awfully to ... be fine Won't you, please? I'm in the world of you'd just be nice to her a few needn't go often or spend there, but if you... to have things friendly her, my being lies on wife never going to seeing old, you know."
Before Neil stopped the lump coming into his voice was so pleading She remembered the woman whose picture in his desk drawer, and dered if his mother were.
"Well, all right, I'll with you to take me morrow. I won't go a little pleased with diplomacy.
Her prompt acceptance him, she saw, but he gratefully. 'Thanks a lot take a run out there Could you be ready Or would that interfere you're doing? We do tomorrow, you know.'"
"No, we'll go at five get or let any business have hard work make dates with me—for an Joyce."
"I'll be there, I'll Gee, Frills, that's sweet know how much mother Joyce rode on in fast and furiously. Things like this for she needn't feel that alopecia on his side, even though himself herself. She could of her company than could eliminate all causes with Maitland; she house more of a real it too late to do that? follow out such a place leading him as to her Well, she had made cessions for such a sliver."
Where do you want his chair in quired Packard politely. "Here you are, boy, get up and let's see how good your table manners are."
They sat down opposite each other at the small round table with Dickie between them. Joyce was struck by the lingering bewilderment on Packard's face. There seemed to be something he couldn't quite understand, but he asked for no explanations.
"Gee! it's good to be home again," he began. "I sure do hate Chicago."
She asked politely, "Was the conference a success?"
Packard stared.
Joyce flushed. "Oh, is it something I'm not supposed to ask about?" rushing into the first remark which occurred to her in an effort to cover her embarrassment.
"Good Lord, no!" he exclaimed hastily. "Only . . . only . . ." he hesitated. "I'm sorry, Frills, I can't keep up with you. You've jumped me so hard about talking shop and said so often you didn't give a damn about what happened so long as you didn't have to hear about it that——"
"Well, I don't want to know everything that happened." Wondering if Frills had ever had a decent word for anyone.
"Oh, sure, we fixed up what I went for and got the new branch office planned out and ready for business," he said.
"Sam said there was a fire at the plant here," remarked Joyce casually, "but almost no damage done. Had you heard about it?"
"Yes, I called up from the city before I came down. But, tell me what you've been doing with yourself, Frills. How's every one in the gang? Doc been in much?"
"Don't know, I just got home today myself," replied Joyce. "I haven't seen anybody I know for nearly two weeks. The first two days after you went they wouldn't let me alone, and I wanted to be quiet, so I walked off and went up to the city alone."
There was an uncomfortable silence. Packard ate for a few moments with his eyes fastened on his food. Joyce understood without doubt that he didn't believe she had spent all that time in San Francisco alone. Why should he?
Suddenly she knew that she wanted him for the way he sorry for the way he replied, "I'm going for a ride and if you want to come, all right." Secretly she quailed at the idea of going out alone for the first time. Would it be light enough for safety? Could she handle Rosita?
But Packard accepted without further questioning. "I'll tell Sam to saddle up while we get into our things," he said. "Run on in, darling. Let's light out before any of the gang shows up."
"Take Dickie with you and leave him with Sam," said Joyce, and trembling with excitement, she raced into the house and upstairs to her big closet, where she proceeded to kick off her slippers and pull her dress over her head as rapidly as possible. She was just drawing her boots on when she heard Packard cross the bedroom and go through to his dressing room.
Scarcely five minutes later they were hurrying downstairs and out to the stable.
She noticed as they rode off slowly that Neil kept eyeing her in an apprehensive fashion. She decided he must be worrying about the accident she had had and probably wondering what mad idea the moonlight would inspire in her tonight. Well, if he were looking for trouble of that kind he would be disappointed!
"Want a cigarette, dear?" he asked once, holding out his case toward her as they rode close together on a short level stretch along the hills. Joyce accepted it but did not dare to try lighting it while they were moving.
"You light it, please." She handed it back to him.
"That gives me permission to kiss you," he remarked, smiling as he handed her back-the lighted cigarette.
"But who wants to kiss his own wife?" retorted Joyce, urging Rosita into a quick trot.
"Here's one man who does," he replied, easily catching up with her. Riding close to her horse he put his arm around her and tried to draw her toward him. Joyce was alarmed, this time not so much at the prospect of being kissed as at the danger of such reckless actions while on horseback.
"Oh, please don't!" she exclaimed hastily, "you make me——" she had

LEGAL NOTICE
NOTICE INVITING SEALED PROPOSALS FOR PRINTING AND ADVERTISING
Notice is hereby given that sealed proposals will be received by the City Council of the City of Anaheim at the office of the City Clerk of said City, up to 8 o'clock p.m. of Tuesday the 13th day of June, 1933, for furnishing all printing and advertising for the City of Anaheim for the year commencing June 1, 1933 and ending May 31, 1934. All of said printing and publishing shall be done in conformity to the specifications therefor, which said specifications are marked and designated "Specifications for printing and advertising for the City of Anaheim, Series of 1933," on file in the office of the City Clerk.
Such proposals will be received as follows:
First: For all advertising to be done by said City required by law to be published in a daily newspaper published within said City.
Second: For all advertising not required by law to be printed in a daily newspaper.
Third: For all advertising not received by said City required by law to be published in a daily newspaper.
State Plan for Pro-Rate Looms
Assembly Passes, Senate Group Approves Commission to Govern Production
Farmers and dairymen of Orange county may have an opportunity to market their products under a controlled production plan.
Under terms of a measure already passed by the assembly and approved by the senate agricultural committee, establishment of a pro-rate agricultural commission appeared to be assured inasmuch as favorable action is expected from both the upper house and Governor Rolph.
Looked upon by proponents as the only means by which farmers may achieve a fair return on their products, the bill would provide for a state commission of nine members comprising four producers, two "handlers" of agricultural products and three representatives of the general public.
To establish a district wherein production of any one product would be limited to a profitable amount, a petition signed by two-thirds of the producers in the area and representatives of two-thirds of the production would be presented to the commission. Providing the petition met certain qualifications, pro-rate certificates would be issued.
Unlike present co-operative marketing projects, the new pro-rata plan provides that once the project is launched, dissenting producers are required to maintain their production with the prescribed limits or be guilty of a misdemeanor.
While the system proposed in the measure would limit the production, each grower has the right to market his share in any manner he finds desirable.
In explaining the bill, proponents pointed out that the whole proposal is marked and designated "Specifications for printing and advertising for the City of Anaheim, Series of 1933," on file in the office of the City Clerk.
Such proposals will be received as follows:
First: For all advertising to be done by said City required by law to be published in a daily newspaper.
Second: For all advertising not required by law to be printed in a daily newspaper, but required by law to be printed each issue for a definite period of time.
Bldders shall state in their proposals whether or not such proposal is based upon an estimate for publication of advertising in a daily or weekly newspaper, and shall designate therein the name and address of such newspaper.
Fourth: For job printing required by the City of Anaheim, according to specifications and according to forms and specimens on file in the office of the City Clerk of said City.
Should the job printing required for any item exceed the estimate therein set forth, the compensation for such job printing in excess of said estimate shall be at the same rate as that mentioned in the proposal for such item.
Fifth: Separate proposals will also be received for printing placard notices of street or public improvement required by law and also for printing such notices in connection with publishing notices and resolutions concerning the particular improvement described in such notices.
Each proposal must be accompanied by a certified or cashier's check drawn on a bank within the State of California, in a sum not less than $50.00, payable to the City of Anaheim, the same to become the property of the City of Anaheim, if, within ten days after the award of the contract to him, the successful bidder shall fail to enter into a written agreement with said City to furnish said printing and advertising in conformity to said specifications.
The City Council reserves the right to reject any and all proposals or any part of any proposal, and may accept proposals separately for advertising required by law to be published in daily newspapers, for advertising not required by law to be printed in a daily newspaper but required by law to be printed each issue for a definite period of time, and may accept proposals for City job printing independently from said city advertising, or as a part of the same proposal.
By order of the City Council of the City of Anaheim.
Dated this 9th day of May, 1933.
J. W. PRICE,
City Clerk of the
City of Anaheim.
fast and furiously. If she could do things like this for Packard surely she needn't feel that all the giving was on his side, even though she refused him herself. She could give him more of her company than Frills had; she could eliminate all cause for jealously with Maitland; she could make his house more of a real home. Or was it too late to do that? And could she follow out such a plan without misleading him as to her feelings?
Well, she had made enough concessions for such a short time! The future must somehow take care of itself.
As, on foot once more, they approached the house from the terrace side, Joyce heard voices; and when they entered the living room they were immediately surrounded by a welcoming group who had evidently been waiting for their return.
"Well, what do you know? Frill's been riding in the moonlight with her husband! Hot stuff! Somebody telephone the scandal to the papers."
The company consisted of Doc Ellison, Ross and Clarice Emery, Charlie Bates, and Art Belmain. Joyce wondered where the other women were.
"Don't suppose you got any golf while you were East, did you, Nell?" asked Art Belmain.
"Not a round," replied Packard.
The men proceeded to talk golf and business.
As the party broke up, Dr. Ellison said in an aside to Joyce, "Say, Frills, you're looking much better than you did two weeks ago. Has your head bothered you any lately?"
Continued Next Week
Mill Creek Road Open for Travel
The Mill Creek road to Big Bear Lake is now open to travel. This is a mountain road and is subject to the following control schedule: Glen Martin control to up-going traffic opens at 2, 5, 8, and 11 a.m. and p.m. The Clark Hill control opens to down traffic at 3:30, 6:30, 9:30 and 12:30 a.m. and p.m.
Unlike present co-operative marketing projects, the new pro-rata plan provides that once the project is launched, dissenting producers are required to maintain their production with the prescribed limits or be guilty of a misdemeanor.
While the system proposed in the measure would limit the production, each grower has the right to market his share in any manner he finds desirable.
In explaining the bill, proponents pointed out that the whole proposal is permissive, only giving the growers and milk producers the right to apply to the commission for authority to institute a control plan.
While the measure has the endorsement of most farm organizations, it has been opposed by the State Grange on the ground commission is given too great authority to charge fees to finance organization of pro-rata areas.
10 Safe Driving Rules Suggested
Summer's increase in motor touring will make safe driving rules more important. State officials offer the following "tips" for drivers:
1. Don't speed
Speed should be governed according to traffic conditions. Trying to be more alert is not as good as slowing up for other traffic.
2. Definite hand signals when turning often prevent accidents.
3. Cutting out of line in heavy traffic is dangerous.
4. Keep a safe distance between your car and the one ahead. It may stop suddenly.
5. Be a good watchman for yourself at railroad grade crossings.
6. Avoid sudden stopping, except in an emergency. Remember the car behind.
7. Don't argue with a "road hog" for your share of the road.
8. Trying to "beat" a traffic signal saves little time and may cause a bad accident. Signals are for safety.
9. Drive carefully on a strange road.
10. Keep brakes tight and lights and brakes adjusted.
The Family Doctor by John Joseph Gajnes, M.D.
A FRIENDLY TALK
I have just read in a big daily newspaper, a very learned discussion by a high-powered health-columnist, of the action and uses of thyroid. Of course many physicians may be attracted by the heading, and read for their edification what a brother has to say to lay readers. But I am of the opinion that the article was worth next to nothing for the average business man or family.
The ultimate effect of thyroid when administered as a medicine is a subject for serious debate among skilled scientists; all do not agree by any means, upon its action, or, the chief indications for its use. Then, why introduce it to the lay readers? Since it takes years of intense application to make a skilled physician, why try to make the average physician, why try to make the wildered pseudo-scientist?
Thyroid should never be taken or administered without the advice of a capable physician. I have had middle-aged ladies ask me, "doctor, don't you think I need THYROID?" All she knew about the powerful gland extract she had gleaned from the newspaper! It was only a step for this woman to go to the drug-store and buy a package of thyroid tablets—and go to taking them on her own initiative! And—nine times out of ten—the very thing she did not need.
I must say to my readers that, I am exceedingly "leary" of the discussion of powerful, dangerous drugs to the layman. It may lead the best of people into harm.
That's why my "talks" abound in simplicity. I'd rather give you a hint based on common-sense—how to behave in emergency—or how to deal with a sore toe to the best advantage. I wouldn't stuff my reader with chemical equations and disputed theories on vitamins and hormones—even if I were qualified to do so. My technical talk belongs in the medical society.
