She drew back in the circle of
his arms, perplexed. Help met"
with the ranchers."
She frowned. How did you
know about"
He laughed. "You see? You
can't keep your troubles from
me-" His arms drew her close
against him again, for another
kiss.
Sam Arlen's voice broke in
upon them harshly. Excuse us!"
Rita broke from Clark's arms
and whirled about. Sam Arlen, AL
Michel, Tom Brewer and Ed
Mayorson from Blossom Valley
were standing in the entrance to
the walled garden.
Their rugged faces were suf-
fused with embarrassed color but
grim with determination. They
advanced in a body, their cold
hostility stilling Rita's automatic
cry of welcome. Sam Arlen's voice
rasped, bitter with disappoint-
ment "Sorry to break in On a
beautiful week end. :"
Rita gasped. Color famed into
her pale cheeks. But Sam Arlen
rushed doggedly on. Clark could
feel the desperate tension in all
the men as they watched Rita.
"You don't need to introduce
us-we know your fine friend. We
know all about how he and his
fast kind turned your head when
you went to New York. And we
amt saying that's any of our bust
ness. But we are saying it's our
business when you're usin' the
money your Dad meant for the
factory to live in places like
this. :"
Rita was as white as her dress
now, trembling all over. Her large
eyes were pools of confusion and
pain. what are you talking
about?" she whispered.
"You know what we're talking
about" Tom Brewers voice raised
in rough belligerence. "About that

in the factory-but we don't have
proof that it vast"

singing slap. ''You can't say such

'We're gonna say 'em plenty

cheek while his eyes blazed at
her. 1--WE just came to warn you

Then she felt Clark's strong arm
around her. Heard his voice COM

lance.

is as inconclusive as your sus-
picions of Miss Ralston's moral
character, I'd say you hadn't
much of a case. Furthermore,

self-for libel and defamation Of

Then his coolly humorous tone
broke into urgent command.
Quick one of you laundering
idiots - get some water! She's
fainted!"
Gloria's taxi entered the broad
gravel drive of the Inn just as
Clark's car started out. Gloria
leapt from her taxi to cross to
his car.

Chapter 20
The Ranchers

CLARK was the first aboard the
small plane Sunday morning.
Impatiently he waited for the
take-off, feeling each minute
wasted was one less to be spent
in Carmel. He was rather proud
OF himself for his adroit handling
Of the detective situation. He'd
talk quietly to Rita now-that is
il she looked strong enough to
take it-and explain the need for
her TO clear things up with the
ranchers of Blossom Valley.
And then his eyes, roaming
absently across the landing field,
picked up a trim figure moving
toward the plane. In sharp dis
may he watched her come to the
ship, climb the temporary steps
and enter it. "Glorial"
Gloria, in a stunning green suit,
hurried down the aisle. what are
you doing here?" she cried. did
they call you too?"
's:eWho?" Clark frowned.
'"The ranchers from Blossom
Valley. They phoned me early
this morning. Rita's in CARMEL!
They're on their way up to see
her now. I'm going in case she
needs me-"
| All during the short trip to Del
Monte, Clark was praying he
would reach Rita before the
ranchers did. When they even
tually arrived at the Carmel Inn,
Il. looked as though he might be
in time. Gloria alphabetically
told him TO 60 in alone.
After an anxious eternity in the
lobby, Rita came down. In his re-
lief, Clark rushed to her, shout
ing, "Darling!" But Rita's smile
was controlled and friendly. She
held out her hand and said,
Hello, Clark"
She was in a white, backless
sport dress. Her eyes looked too
dark, her face wanly white, her
red-gold hair a glowing aureole
above it. She evaded the warm,
searching look he gave her by
turning toward the door with a
heeting smile. would you like to
see the garden? It's lovely one."
When they were alone in the
hower-bright, walled garden, she
continued to keep him a friendly
distance. She chartered brightly

Clark broke in, bluntly. Rita,

The Accusation
DITA'S hands clenched on the
IN vine she was idly training
over its trellis. Her eyes sought
the deep blue distances of the
ocean just beyond for strength.
Her heart cried dismally, How
gould he be so dear, so real, so
sincere when he was with her
and change completely when he
was away? She steeled herself as
she felt his hands on her
shoulders.
s"I love you. Rita. Don't you love
met"
Emotion rose to silence the lie
on her lips. She shook her head
silently. His hands frightened on
her shoulders, spun her around to
face him, his eyes searched hers
and lighted as they found the
misery there. That's not true"
he said with quiet triumph, land
you know it." And even as she
struggled to free herself, he
pulled her relentlessly into his
arms, stilled her protests under a
long, hard kiss.
For Rita, all thought and ten
sion evaporated in that embrace.
Ecstasy scared through her. The
trilling of the birds in the garden,
the. salty tang Of the morning
breezes, the murmur of the sea
blended into a harmony of utter
completeness. Dreamily she re-
turned his smile.
"Say it," he was urging gently.
Say, I love you"
T-love you"

out from both party headquarters, money is being spent like water, and at time like this when the patriotic thing to do would have been for the major parties to turn this money over to Uncle Sam who has such urgent need for it today. With these thousands of dollars that are being spent to buy your vote, thousands of shells could be manu- factured with which our service men could defend themselves in the Philippines. And yet these same politicians would tell you that they are for national defense.
 Remember ladies and gentlemen his is your election. This Is just ,he opportunity you have wanted. Here it is. Don't neglect this op- oortunity to vote against the poli- ticians and everything they stand for.
 Every time you pull the third lever or mark the third circle on your ballot you will be pushing .hese crafty politicians deeper and deeper in the background where we tnow they rightfully belong.

TAFT PROFESSOR |LAUDS MONAGHAN i
John T. Reardon Declares Election of Democratic
 Nominee Imperative

John T. Reardon, head of the hls- tory department at Taft school, Watertown, declared in an address over WATR last night that election of John s. Monagan, Democrat, to congress next Tuesday is impera- tive.
 The Republican membership of congress, he said, had a perfect record of opposition to every rec ommendation not only of the pres ident, but of responsible Army and Navy authorities" He cited an over- whelming Republican vote against an appropriation for strengthening Notifications at Guam, opposition to the lease-lend bill, and opposition to extension of selective service"
 He said 1t would be absurd to be- lieve that congressional isolationists were all led by partisan motives but it is just as absurd to believe that this overwhelming Republican op- position was based on the inde- pendent judgment of the individual unir fluenced by party pressure and party expediency."
 The Republican party, he said, is still unwilling to call truce on pol itics, as witness the recent appoint ment of Clarence Buddington Kel- land as publicity director for the national committee. He quoted an editorial from the New York Her Tribune, prominent Republican organ. criticizing the Kelland ap- Dointment.

Chile Sitting on
the Fence
By Waldo Frank
(WNU Feature--Through special arrange
ment with Golfers Weekly

(WNU Feature-Through special arrange
nent with Golfers Weekly
There are nearly 10000 pro-Naz1
Germans in Chile; $4,000 are Ger
man nationals; $4,000 are Chilean
citizens of German descent who
have been hypnotized, despite their
democratic antecedents, by the VIC
tories of the fuehrer.
There is a drama here. To see
1t and Chile's Importance within the
Pan-American picture, we must
have a sense of the Chilean people.
The Chilean is half mariner, half
mountaineer. He lives in land
whose geography a famous Chilean
writer has called insane. Chile
is 1000 miles long and about 100
miles wide, shaped like an earth
worm. One side of it is sea-. the
other ice and rock. In square miles,
it is larger than France, but a bare
ten per cent of its soil is cultivable,
the rest being desert, mountain and
poor sheep pasture. That's not the
worst of it. Chile is the land of
earthquakes. Every Chilean remem-
bers "his earthquake. He may be
fifty, and the frightful experience
may have shaken his body when he
was six, but his soul cannot forget.
Havoc of an Earthquake.
visited Conception, the country's
third city, where, only three years
ago, a quake in 80 seconds destroyed
thousands of lives and shattered
hundreds of houses. The ruins are
there still-the cathedral, the dwell
ings, the commercial structures;
and on and about them Conception
moves, disorganized and dazed, like
a city bombed by an enemy which
the people cannot have the satis-
faction of hating.
All this has made the Chileans
slow, reticent, stubborn, intellectual
ly matter-o -of-fact; people of depth
and will, rather than surface sensi-
bility and color; long-suffering folk
whose noble music is almost buried
in their hearts, as different from their
charming and brilliant neighbors
across the Andes as their rocky land
is different from the Pampa.
