THIRTEENTH INSTALLMENT
SYNOPSIS: Three weeks after a cream colored roadster had been found wrecked in the sea at the foot of a cliff, a girl calling herself Anne Cushing appears at the desert town Marston. She has bought, sight unseen a ranch located thirty miles away. Soon after her arrival she marries Barry Duane, her nearest neighbor. Against her better judgment she accompanies her husband East. Mrs. Duane is bitterly resentful of Anne. Wealthy Cleo Pendleton, her obvious choice vows revenge. Anne recognizes a man loitering on the Duane grounds. Later Barry tells Anne John Gage is the real head of the Duane mills. He fails to note her frozen silence.
“What is there to say that you’d be willing to believe?” she asked bitterly. “I went there to meet him. It was a matter of—business, as he told you. That is all.”
“What business could you have with a man like that? And why couldn’t it be transacted decently, in your own home?”
“He wanted to see me privately,” she continued. “I knew him—years ago—when he was in better circumstances. He wanted me to — do something for him.”
“What was it?”
“I can’t tell you. It-it isn’t mine to tell. Can’t you understand that, Barry? Why won’t you believe it?”
He wanted to believe, but that dark well, you’ve bungled your work nicely, haven’t you?”
“Think so?” He was defiant in an instant.
“I do! You undertook to see that Mrs. Duane left here within a week. She was to disappear completely, and alone. And early this morning they started back to that ranch. Together! Imbecile!”
“I've done better than you think. If she and Duane are starting West on the same train it's for appearances, not for any joy ride. You'll probably find that one or the other of them will go on to Reno,” he added significantly.
“Why?”
“Oh, Duane horned in while we were talking. At a place where I'd asked her to meet me.”
Kennedy looked sharply at Miss Cleo Pendleton. The small childish face was lit for a second with a sort of greedy joy.
“Now that they've gone, I'd better hold myself ready to follow up and see that it goes through. I'll need money for that. How about letting me have the other five grand now? Cash this time.”
Cleo considered it. “I will give you the ten thousand in cash and you may turn over the check.”
"Icouldn't think of asking it." Kennedy bowed politely. "Five thousand will be plenty. When the job is complete I can come back for the other five, and trade it in for the check."

“You can't go on now The Gages are coming here next Tuesday.”

What business could you have with a man like that? And why couldn't it be transacted decently, in your own home?
"He wanted to see me privately," she continued. "I knew him—years ago—when he was in better circumstances. He wanted me to — do something for him."
"What was it?"
"I can't tell you. It-it isn't mine to tell. Can't you understand that, Barry? Why won't you believe it?"
He wanted to believe, but that dark tormenting suspicion was tearing both of them to pieces.
"Believe that you can't tell? Oh yes, you don't leave me in any doubt of that."
"Barry!" Anne quivered and stiffened. "I've told you all that I can tell." She turned on him on passionate appeal. "Don't you trust me enough—don't you love me enough to believe me when I tell you that no matter what appearances may be there was nothing, nothing wrong in my going to meet Jim Kennedy?"
She knew the second it came out that the familiar "Jim Kennedy" had been a mistake. Barry looked shaken, a man almost persuaded, but at the last words hot suspicion flamed again.
"Trust you! I did trust you. I trusted you that night when you came in fresh from keeping a cheap rendezvous with this same man. And you lied to me."
"I have told you all that I can.
"You've answered me." He turned abruptly and walked toward the door. With his hand on the knob he paused.
"I have this much more to say. There are some things which can't be overlooked or forgiven—not between man and wife. But I am not going to have any open break with my wife over somebody's chauffeur, nor have my mother's name dragged through a tabloid scandal. We'll go on for the present as we are, and at least maintain the outward civilities. And then if you still refuse to clear this up satisfactory, you and I are through."
She made no attempt to answer him. There was something in her eyes that hurt him savagely. If he stayed he'd be sweeping her into his arms and pleading with her. He jerked the door open and went out, without a backward glance.
After the door had closed Anne still stood there sick at heart. Barry expected her to stay, but Jim Kennedy had said that she must go. Just for a little, lying back with closed eyes, she wondered what would happen if she defiled Jim's orders—if she stayed, and let John Gage her here.
hold myself ready to follow up and see that it goes through. I'll need money for that. How about letting me have the other five grand now? Cash this time."
Cleo considered it. "I will give you the ten thousand in cash and you may turn over the check."
"Icouldn't think of asking it." Kennedy bowed politely. "Five thousand will be plenty. When the job is complete I can come back for the other five, and trade it in for the check."
Cleo could have killed him. "Very well. I will have it for you tomorrow at noon."
The door closed on Kennedy.
In the hall the new footman appeared from a cross corridor and obligingly let Kennedy out. They exchanged a word or two, and the door closed. Kennedy paused for a second on the steps.
"There's something phoney about that bird," he reflected. "He was out of breath. I'll drift, as soon as I get the five grand."
He got it the next day. Inside of an hour he had sent in his notice, received his wages and was on his way to the station.
A few days later Kennedy's eye picked up an item in the paper.
Mr. and Mrs. Gage will leave next Friday on a trip to the Pacific coast.
Kennedy's eyes narrowed thoughtfully. Gage had business interests out there. It was not likely to be more than just coincidence. I don't see how there could be anything in it," he reflected, "but it wouldn't hurt to be on hand."
Cleo saw the same item. She sat up suddenly. Nancy and Barry had gone West. The Gages were going West, ostensibly to the Coast, but Marston was on the way. Jim Kennedy, if he kept his word, was going West also.
"I don't suppose there can be anything in it," she thought. "But Barry knows the Gages, and he had been trying for years to get John Gage interested in that old valley. It's queer. I wish I had a decent excuse to follow them."
Anne was discovering that not even the beloved Perch could banish a tormenting devil of jealousy and suspicion. Things grew worse instead of better. As a slow week dragged by each day held less hope of reconciliation.
Ling's bland face never betrayed anything. Anne was glad that Martha Larrabee had gone back to Marston.
Martha had closed the little house at Trail's End only a week before their return. It was quiet and peaceful, but it was lonely. Sometimes she wished bitterly that she had never seen Barry hold herself ready to follow up and see that it goes through. I'll need money for that. How about letting me have the other five grand now? Cash this time."
Cleo considered it. "I will give you the ten thousand in cash and you may turn over the check."

There was something in her eyes that hurt him savagely. If he stayed he'd be sweeping her into his arms and pleading with her. He jerked the door open and went out, without a backward glance.
After the door had closed Anne still stood there sick at heart. Barry expected her to stay, but Jim Kennedy had said that she must go. Just for a little, lying back with closed eyes, she wondered what would happen if she defied Jim's orders—if she stayed, and let John Gage meet her here. Upheaval and ruin and a slimy hall of disgrace. She laughed with a rising note of hysteria, choked it back and abruptly pulled herself out of the chair.
She moved quietly around the room, opening drawers and closets, choosing articles here and there and dropping them on the bed. Indecision was gone.
There was a tap on the door. It was Bertha, with a message.
"Mr. Barry sent me up to pack for you: He says he's called back to Marston, and can you be ready to leave tomorrow morning on the seven-forty-three- He's just 'phoned for reservations."
A filmy garment dropped from Anne's fingers. "The seven-forty-three," she repeated blankly. Then she remembered the waiting Bertha. "Yes, Bertha, of course I can be ready. Here are some of my things. I've just been gathering them together."
Anne went toward the window and looked out to conceal her face from the maid's too-friendly eyes.
"I'll fight for him!" she thought fiercely. "I won't let both of our lives be wrecked like this. I love him and when we're at the Perch again I'll get him back."
Cleo's blue roadster swept recklessly up the drive. A watchful footman sped down the steps.
"Send Kennedy to me," she ordered.
The footman was a new man, but he seemed to be well trained.
Cleo waited impatiently in the library. Here Kennedy came, an infuriating eight minutes late.
Ling's bland face never betrayed anything. Anne was glad that Martha Larrabee had gone back to Marston.
Martha had closed the little house at Trail's End only a week before their return. It was quiet and peaceful, but it was lonely. Sometimes she wished bitterly that she had never seen Barry Duane.
She rode Comet often, but always alone. She saw Barry in the distance one day, sitting Captain at a jutting point in the trail. Comet wickered a shrill greeting and Captain replied, but Barry merely turned his head, raised his hat and turned back.
Anne's face stung with angry heat. She'd rather be ordered out of the house than treated like a child in disgrace.
She went back to her own loneliness, and presently Barry came in saying little. She was dropping her small efforts of cheerfulness now. She must have it out with him and end this, one way or another.
"Are you busy, Barry?"
"No." He put down the book he was reading.
"Don't you think it is time we came o a different understanding, Barry? You know we can't go on this way."
"I agree with you entirely. I am ready, and have been, whenever you want to do your part."
Her eyes closed for a moment. "But I have told you that there are things that I cannot explain, without involving other people. I've promised—you shouldn't ask me to break that."
"Most escapades do involve other people," he retorted.
"I've done rash things, I know, but nothing that I am ashamed of. Won't you believe that? You've got to, Barry. All the rest of our lives depends on it—just having some—some faith between us. If you can't have that, I'm going.

I won't stay in your house like this."
He was on his feet now, tramping impatiently up and down.
"How can you expect me to accept a situation like that blindly?"
He stopped in front of her and caught her arm in a close grip.
"Don't you know that I'd give up everything I have on earth to hear you say something which would set this hideous thing right? To have you back as you used to be—and to be able to take my wife back among my friends without—"
If he hadn't said that, about his friends! Anne shivered.
"I have told you all I can.
She swayed a little, stiffened and stared at him bitterly.
"As for your friends, they needn't matter so much now. Marston is a long way from Granleigh. Tell them I'm dead, if you want to. That's quite respectable, isn't it? The best people do it, Barry."
"You're talking ridiculously! What do you mean?"
"Oh, nothing. I'm not going to commit suicide. Not because my husband refuses to believe that I'm decent." She walked slowly towrad the door, pausing to look back. "I'm going—back to Trail's End. Good-bye."
"You can't go onw," he said sharply.
"The Gages are coming. They will be here next Tuesday."
She stared at him in a shocked sort of way, and said "Oh!" half under her breath.

The Farmers Corner
by RALPH H TAYLOR
Executive Secretary
Agricultural Council
of California
California, perhaps more than any other state in the nation, is dependent on tariff protection for a successful agriculture, due to the fact that its crops come into direct competition with similar crops from foreign countries with much lower living standards and a "cheap labor" supply.

"Oh, nothing. I'm not going to commit suicide. Not because my husband refuses to believe that I'm decent." She walked slowly towrad the door, pausing to look back. "I'm going—back to Trail's End. Good-bye."
"You can't go onw," he said sharply. "The Gages are coming. They will be here next Tuesday."
She stared at him in a shocked sort of way, and said "Oh!" half under her breath. "I am sorry," she added hurriedly. "But you see, I shall not be here."
In spite of all that had passed he could scarcely credit his ears.
"I suppose," he said in a tight voice, "that you understand what this visit means to me? Whatever our personal differences may be, they expect a hostess."
"I'm sorry, Barry. Truly I am." Her eyes were desperate. "But I can't stay. I—"
"Don't trouble to apologize I'm not a jailor, to keep you here agianst your will. But if you leave me now, I'm through. Don't ever try to come back again."
She put her hand to her throat.
"I understand. I shan't come back, Barry. Good-bye."
"Good-bye," he said curtly. He was cruel with anger and savagely hurt.
He heard a door close softly, and light footsteps and died. Silence after that. Empty silence.
Many miles to the East a number of small things had happened.
The new footman had left after less than a week of service, a circumstance which vaguely disturbed the colorless Mrs. Pendleton. Cleo looked contentedly at her own image in a long mirror and decided to contrive a call on Mrs. John Gage.
At the Gage offices Winston called to make a personal report and found that Gage had been called away. A secretary admitted that Mr. Gage was due to start shortly on a trip West. Winston kept his verbal dynamite stored in his own cautious head.
In his comfortable hotel Kennedy was studying plump time-tables and discovering possibilities. He also discovered that at odd moments he was seeing the same face with suspicious frequency. Being resourceful he considered the situation and took reservations for New Orleans, where he had no intention of going. Then by car and plane, nad modest day coach he shook off his exasperated shadow and zigzagged his way to Marston.
The Junction's best hostelry was the California, perhaps more than any other state in the nation, is dependent on tariff protection for a successful agriculture, due to the fact that its crops come into direct competition with similar crops from foreign countries with much lower living standards and a "cheap labor" supply.
Regardless of all the naively-phrased arguments of economists and free tarde theorists, California faces the inescapable fact that if tariff barriers are removed California farmers and California farmers and California labor will both suffer. Lower income and living conditions, far below American standards, will be the inevitable result.
And yet, in face of these facts, the San Francisco chamber of commerce, representing a great metropolitan area which has come to greatness largely as a result of its back country, has placed itself in the unfortunate and illogical position of supporting the present movement to destroy—or at least greatly reduce—the present tariff protection for California crops.
Most serious is the fact that the tariff question, under present conditions, can be decided without congressional approval, and without a proper hearing being accorded the farming industry. Final authority in the tariff issue rests today, with the president and the tariff commission—a dangerous situation at best, and one made doubly dangerous when organizations like the San Francisco chamber of commerce come out in espousal of what amounts to free trade.
The Agricultural Council of California, representing the state's major farm cooperatives and farm commodity organizations, has made vigorous protest to the San Francisco chamber against its unsound and inconsistent position in opposing present tariff restrictions and, at the same time, favoring a subsidy for American ships to increase the trade passing through its port.
In its formal protest, the Agricultural Council, embracing in its membership more than 50 per cent of all California farmers, says:
"Attention has been directed to the great inconsistency of your organization in supporting what amounts to foreign free trade in agricultural products and yet, at the same time, with equal vigor, supporting a subsidy for American ships."
"Do you not see the gross unfairness of such a position to agriculture, one of..."
Rev. I. N. Demy says:
I have found nothing in the past 20 years that can take the place of Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They are a sure relief for my headache."
Sufferers from Headache, Neuralgia, Toothache, Backache, Sciatica, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Neuritis, Muscular Pains, Periodic Pains, write that they have used Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills with better results than they had even hoped for.
Countless American housewives would no more think of keeping house without Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills than without flour or sugar. Keep a package in your medicine cabinet and save yourself needless suffering.

In his comfortable hotel Kennedy was studying plump time-tables and discovering possibilities. He also discovered that at odd moments he was seeing the same face with suspicious frequency. Being resourceful he considered the situation and took reservations for New Orleans, where he had no intention of going. Then by car and plane, nad modest day coach he shook off his exasperated shadow and zigzagged his way to Marston.
The Junction's best hostelry was the railroad hotel. Kennedy registered as Frederick James, acquired a slight but convincing cough to account for his aimless presence, and a battered old car.
He might have been interested if he had known of Gage's absence from town. This time Paula had been left behind in their huge hotel apartment.
Nevertheless she pouted at the thought of having to go to some doleful ranch in a rough mountain valley. She had just received a telegram from John, too, saying that he would have to join her at Chicago, but had made all arrangements for her wire.
Paula was feeling just a little sorry for herself. Miss Cleo Pendleton could not have chosen a better moment to ask for Mrs. John Gage.
A few days later, when Gage boarded his own car in Chicago, his first glimpse was of a head of snug, shining gold, very much at home in one of his chairs. In the privacy of a storeroom he jerked an expressive thumb and said "How come?"
"You don't mind, John, do you? She is a friend of this Mrs. Duane's and she told me that Mrs. Duane had been asking her to come out and visit them. I thought it would be nice to have some body along, and she's frightfully amusing."
"Oh, yes . . . yes, honey, it's all right Old Ambrose's girl, is she? How did she know we were headed for Duane's place?
Continued Next Week
In its formal protest, the Agricultural Council, embracing in its membership more than 50 per cent of all California farmers, says:
"Attention has been directed to the great inconsistency of your organization in supporting what amounts to foreign free trade in agricultural products and yet, at the same time, with equal vigor, supporting a subsidy for American ships.
"Do you not see the gross unfairness of such a position to agriculture, one of the main supports in making San Francisco the great city she is?
"A tremendous share of the business done in your city is due to the agricultural production of your back-country which is handled by your merchants, processed by your factories, and shipped from your shores, and also to the wealth brought into the state from eastern shipments and which is spent many times over in San Francisco.
"Why should you desire to stilte the very industry which puts business in the hands of your people?
"Consistency at least should put you on the same side of both issues. We do not object to your position with reference to ship subsidy, but we do think you should revere the paradoxical position you now hold and join California farmers in support to tariff, which will keep at least a reasonable share of the American market for domestic producers.
"May we not hear soon of a change in your position with reference to foreign trade duties?"
It is to be hoped that the San Francisco chamber of commerce on more mature consideration, will heed the appeal of the back-country which has created San Francisco and made it strong.
It is to be hoped that American standards of living may be maintained; that California wage scales shall be maintained, and that California's great farming industry—the mainstay of both rural and urban life—shall be granted the support to which it is rightfully entitled.
