Then she tUiH be sorry to hare

until he has my modest fortune, too.
He asks me to try to understand
her, that she is at heart only an
adorable child.
''But I understand her only too
well, and if that is the heart of a
child there is something wrong with
the child. Is there no way that I
can stop this before it goes any fur

Is there any use in appealing to her?

architect; Cara wants him to 60

In answer I would say, my dear
Devoted Mother" that in having
this splendid son to yourself for the
first 26 years of his life, absorbing
him, glorying in his constant affec-
ton and companionship, you have
had, IN the argot of the day, about
all that is coming to you.
Mother Should Withdraw.
Since there is no common ground
of understanding between you and
the woman he is so determined to
make his wife, your only course is
to Withdraw Tell them both frank
ly that you wish them well, that you
want them to forgive any lack of
enthusiasm or cooperation, and that
if ever they need you you will be
ready. And then 60 back to Mexico
or to China or to Baffin's Bay and
build a life for yourself, while at
tempting to assimilate the bitter
truth, that the time comes when an
other woman is more important to a
boy than even his mother, and that
you are just about as necessary to
Cara as your mother-in-law was to
you 30 years ago.
Our mothers-in-lawl Those dim,
elderly DANES who were to be
little considered and petted and Gull
tivated because it pleased darling
Tom, but who remained shadows

sorbing interests of our young lives.
How little they matteredl
You're in that place now, de
voted Mother" and it's for you to
say whether they ever will love you
or need you again. For wealth is
no help here. In fact, it's IN poor
family that grandma holds her own;
she is necessary there, and often she
really is beloved.
ST suppose I love my own daugh-
ter as much as do my sons wife"
one fortunate mother-in-law said to
me some years ago, but Ann
doesn't need me, and it's SO good to
be with Jimmy, because she does"
To continue to pry into the lives
of Don and Cara and control their
actions is just waste of time. As
Don's mother you have a bad lonely
bit of life to get through, and I con-
fess that Don's prospect of happi-
ness seems to me somewhat uncer-
tain. But if, after Cara's varied ex-
periences, he dares try matrimony
with her, there is just chance that
they viii work it out And it would
be good thing for Don's devoted
mother then not to have too many
bitter and critical phrases to re-
member between herself and her

CHAPTER III

CHAPTER III
Lying full length on deck chair,
Karen drank pre-lunch Martini,
and watched the stunning blue and
white of the sea stream past the
low foredeck of Richard Wayne's
schooner. Here, out upon the slowly
breathing Pacific, John Colt HIM
self seemed as far away as San
Francisco had seemed from the Ia
mai of the Royal Hawaiian.
At first, sheering away from Bar
ber's Point, Karen had experienced
sharp sinking of spirits.
But during the morning hours on
the sea new vitality had come
into her, as if from the long swells
of the open sea itself; and after
lunch she sought a way to push
ahead with her self-elected task of
studying Tonga Dick. The Holokai
was a two-masted schooner of 10
feet; Dick Wayne called her trad
ing schooner, with auxiliary power,
but very definitely she was some
astonishingly loaded by her great
Diesel, had hardly any cargo space
at all, other than that needed for
her own stores. Karen put out a
tentative feeler.
81 was wondering how your
schooner came by her name"
''Holokai means 'sea-rider,' he
told her.
That's peculiarly poetic"
''Oh, I didn't name her myself.
She was named by the man from
whom she came to me-"
"Who?" Karen asked innocently.
Tonga Dick shrugged. There are
all manner of boats knocking about
the Pacific. You can always get
hold of boat"
She studied Tonga Dick Wayne,
covertly. In the bright reflected
light of the cloudless sea he still
seemed young, even younger than
she had believed the night before.
She thought now that she detected
something family ironic in his gaze.
It was as if the darkness that was
under the blue of the sea had come
nearer behind his eyes.
Karen turned uneasy. She said,
"Dick-what is it,"
You're very lovely" he said.
''It's only fair to tell you this: in
every way that can imagine, you're
the loveIiest thing I've ever seen on
the earth or the face of the sea-"
"Well, really, are you making love
to me now?" It was a himsy de-
tense; in contradiction to his words,
she knew that he was not making
love.
mo man of any sense pretends
to know anything about women"
Tonga Dick was saying. ''The old
Island people drew headlines past
which no woman could come, and
those lines were drawn by darkness,
and fear. They knew the truth
that it is not possible for a man to
know what things govern a wom-
an. Yet I'll tell you this: it would
be easy for anyone to believe in

at al"
He was speaking as If from behind
a wall. Suddenly Karen Waterson
knew what he had meant, and it ac-
counted for the fiat sound of words
that should have been love-making.
A sharp and immediate panic swept
her as she understood, all at once
and completely, that Richard Wayne
knew who she was.
She jerked her eyes from his face
and stood UP, bracing herself against
the reel of the little schooner. A.
glance across the face of the sea
told her a startling thing, before I'M
considered. All that day, since ear
ly morning, they had been striking
straight out from Honolulu into the
open Pacific.
ST think" she said, "we'd better
go back, hadn't WEI"
There was defeat and admission of
defeat In that; but, knowing what

United States congressman with
Orange and Riverside counties if

J. Hepburn, ccmmandant of the 18th

of inquiry would investigate the
incident with the view of deciding
whether court martial proceedings
were to be instituted
The spokesman, however, said that
the fact that both men, Harold
Sturtevant, %, and E. G.. Lackey,

that they were inspired by mob

considered in arriving at deci-

Rainfall Threat
DispeIIed Here

A storm, which brought high

in the valley.
Jacobs, however, predicted below
normal temperatures for Monday
night and Tuesday with light frosts
in coolest sections of the valley.
Temperatures Will not be low
