CHAPTER XII. '
!: misunderstood AGAIN,

u II ARIAN remembered as they
nU neared home that Hamlin
jv had mentioned having q
4 lodge at a place which she
= associated with Summer re-
sorts, and then she remembered he
had given Lon his address on a card.
She would ask Lon for the. address;
but what excuse would she have for
that Lon would naturally want to
know why she was interested in
Hamlin. She knew she wouldn't have
enjoyed having Lon ask her for Sill
ver,s address If they hadn't chanced
to meet again.
Under the circumstances she'd have
to risk his displeasure.
'SShe did and found she hadn't min
iIiized it.
Lon came in from work, his brow
creased with a worried frown. He
looked at the shrubs with apathetic
interest, barely touched his dinner,
then went out to stand on the hill
and look down on the subdivision he
had started so bravely months before.
Marian finished her housework and
Joined him.
'fLooks like a cemetery" he said
moodily, those stakes are like so
many headstones"
TN sorry, Lon," she touched his
sleeve with her hand. II do under
stand how you feel"
He patted her hand and continued
staring down hill, where the cool
Autumn wind was whirling dead
leaves into yellow piles.
Marian watched him and her de-
termination to do something to change
this queer route their life had taken
anew. Lon" she said, do you re-
member Max Hamlin's giving you his
address that last evening we were with
him?"
Lon gave her a quick, suspicious
look. IT do, why?"
''I was trying to think of the place
today. A Summer resort, wasn't it?"
mot that I know Of"
''You still have the card, haven't
you?"
mo, threw it away"
"Lon," she couldn't help the hurt
cry. why did you do that?"
Because" he said evenly, II
thought the time would come when
you'd want to know where he lived"
He turned and started walking to
the house, leaving Marian looking
after him.
Marian watched Lon, queer baff1ed
feeling dulling the hurt she might
have felt. Mechanically she walked
to the other side of the hilltop, sat
down on the dry grass and looked
out over the valley.
A dreary place on this Autumn
evening, overcast sky above, yellow
ing tree smudged with twilight below.
Diablo had retired beneath a blanket
Of clouds, only the pinnacle with its
shining eye above, like an old wo-
man pulling the quilts around her
chin" thought Marian.
How to locate Hamlin. Her
thoughts wandered for a few mo-
ments. resting on the events of the
day, the previous week, back on the
problem before her.
I'm fine newspaper woman" she
thought, suddenly. IT know there's a
pile of old newspapers in the garage.
The Summer ones will have lists of
resorts. I'm sure If I once read the
name I'll remember"
She waited until Lon had left the
following morning, then burrowed into
the yellowed sheets, chose a Sunday
newspaper and opened it to the page
carrying display advertisements of
resorts. Almost instantly her eyes
caught one section topped by the
words. Russian River Resorts" That
was it. Russian River but the
river was miles long and was lined
on both sides Of its banks with re-
sorts.

him. But he said nothing, Just stared
into the fire.

don't tell me what is worrying you.

"Quit McSwain?" he repeated, and
then he gave short, bitter laugh.
A little later he asked her to 60
back to bed. promised he would keep
the hearth fire burning, even went out
and brought in few logs to convince
her. She went to bed but she couldn't
sleep. She lay listening to the whim-

intently as she answered.

this football division by the claim Of
Troy high school as a contender Tor
the title. Troy lost the first game of the
season to Libby but Troy has one Of
the best teams in their history and hav-
ing defeated an indifferent Libby squad
last week, in what was understood by
the locals. at least, to be practice
game, the Troy management has set up
claim to Libby victories over other
schools of the division by reason of the
game last week. Technically practice
game must be so stated in writing and
in the absence of such a statement,
Troys claim goes before the state board
of athletics for consideration They have
scheduled Poison for Thursday Of this
week In eventvof a win by Troy over
Poison, Chairman Scott OF the state
board has informed the local school
that the proper solution will be a
third game between Libby and Troy"

The Libby Lions club at its regular
dinner and meeting Monday night en-
ioyed something out Of the usual in the
nature of entertainment Dir. J. W
Church was chairman OF the entertain
ment committee and presented two
young ladies, Miss Viola Bcssey and
Miss Joyce Daggett, in both solo and
duet dance numbers The young ladies
were loudly applauded BY their audi
ence and responded to an encore. Piano
music for the dancing was provided by
Miss Blanche Fousek.
Al the business session. President Bill
ings presiding, the chair announced ap-
pointment of William Herbert to cali on
the school board relative to athletic
matters.
Lion WEIGH reported on what was be-
ing done to put over the court house
bond election, stating that Lion Lud
Ludvfkson was mailing circulars re-
garding the matter to all taxpayers. The
court house matter brought out con-
siderable discussion which was partici-
pated in by Paul Church, William Her
bert, w. f Kienitz and others. Finally
Lion Herbert moved that the chair APP
point committee of three to have in

what team the Libby foot
ball squad would have to play to de-
ternine the district championship.
Definite information as to this4had not
been received by Coach Hazen. And
since Troy had defeated the Libby team
in game there last week, Troy was
claiming championship status and
new complication had developed.
Lion Miller presented another prof.
ect for consideration, he having been
requested to do SO; that Of planting a
suitable tree for permanent Christmas
tree purposes, at the intersection of
Mineral and Boulevard avenues. It was
the concensus of the Lions that that

lions had already been active and one
the Lions should not consider.
Murray Simmons Of California, SON
ln-law of William Herbert, was present
as guest OF the club.
