CHAPTER XXII Rose said hastily, “What about the school job?" She smiled a little as she said it. Jonathan found himself awkward under that smile. He replied testily, “Oh, routine etuff, of course. I suppose you knew it would be. After all, the seasonal physical examinations took place long before the job came my way . . . there doesn’t seem much to ao. I consult with the school nurse, I make my reports. I assume that I'll look the noys over before track and baseball Beason.” Rose said, after a moment, “In other towns, bigger ones than this, of course, yet not very large at that, it’s a full time job. Their men go between the various schools, maintain an office and have no cutside practice. But here, to be frank, it’s always been more or less of a sinecure. Still,” she went on earnestly, “there are things you could do, Jon ... new things ... new, that is, to Riverport” He looked away uncomfortably. After a minute, he said, “I’ve tried, Rose. I wanted to give a series of talks, hygiene, sex education ... tempered, of course, to the ages . . , one for the older children in the grade schools, another for the high school classes. I buzzed around and saw people—and was told to lay off. I was told they get all they need in the regular way in their courses and that the parents would object seriously to a more detailed, more adult exposition. . .: So that’s that It simply can’t be done, not in Riverport at any rate.” “No,” agreed Rose, “I don t suppose it can.” He didn’t exactly like her tone. Her tone said: You have the job, if you want to you can force the issue. You can call a meeting of the School Board and put your views to them forcibly. You can make them see.• • • . . _ . He argued, “I've talked to Sutton. He deplores the narrow-minded attitude of the Board and tho parents and many of the teachers. And I must agree with him that there’s nothing to be done at present. Maybe we can bring ’em to it by education." Rose said slowly, “Os course if you've talked with Sutton, there’s no more to be said.” “Oh, Rose," cried Jonathan, in real despair and sickening suddenly at the very name, the name which kept cropping up to ruin all their friendly conversations, their sense of congenial companionship, “Please don’t let’s quarrel.... If it weren’t for you," he added, “I couldn’t stick it out here. I’d be bo desperately lonely I” • . .. She smiled at him, then. She said gently, “I’m glad you feel that way about me, Jon.” “Rose," he said, after a minute. “I haven’t the least right to ask vou this, but are you engaged to Bill Lynd?” “No,” replied Rose steadily, “I’m not. I’m not engaged to anyone.” She got to her feet and went toward the door. She said, over her shoulder, “And I don’t want to be.” At the door, she called her mother . . . She asked, “How about those doughnuts?” and Mrs. Ward appeared almost instantly, with a heaped plate of fresh fried doughnuts and a pot of coffee. “You get the cups,” she told Rose, as Jonathan came forward to relieve her of her pleasant burden. He thought, well, she warned me, well enough; keep off dangerous ground. She could have let the doughnuts wait a moment! Alter he had gone home Rose went upstairs to bed. Her mother fussed around putting things away, straightening up the room. Presently she would come to Rose’s bedroom and put her through the usual maternal cross-examination which, however subtly presented, never failed to be forthcoming at the end of an evening during which Roee had had a caller. For a few minutes however Rose would be alone and free to think her own thoughts. She sat down at the dressing table, put her chin in her cupped hands and regarded her reflection. She said to herself. He isn’t in love with Sally. Not vet.

He’s dazzled, that’s all, poor infant. He isn’t in love with me. Not yet. He’s just lonely. But— Her mother coming upstairs a few minutes later was astonished to hear her child declaim in a loud firm tone of voice, “I could, of course, fight her with her own weapons. That’s what they tell you to do. But I’d hate it somehow—if—if he doesn't really care—” “What on earth?” asked Mrs. Ward, entering the room. Rose turned scarlet. She said, and laughed at herself, “Oh, nothing. Did you thing I’d lost my mind? I was just—just reading aloud.” Mrs. Ward was no longer interested. It didn’t occur to her to ask the name of the book or to look for the volume itself. And Rose, her color subsiding once more breathed freely. That was, she told herself severely, one of the narrowest escapes she had ever experienced. • • • Spring comes slowly to the North. It is a true transition. It is not in the least the spring of more southerly climates, a falling in love at first eight, an alteration over night. It is more like the love which follows friendship, which waits, which weighs, shy, a little reluctant, a little cool, but how magnificent when it comes. In May the roads were still rutted, and back of the camps along the river’s edge ice was in the gullies. But the sky was a flawless blue and the brooks and streams were swollen with the fresh running of water. Jonathan’s own garden began to show its first color. He knew next to nothing about gardens. It was Rose who came along after school and raked and pruned and tidied. Often he would not see her except to wave through the windows and to look out from his office now and then when a patient permitted, to see her, her gloved hands sternly wielding shears, a silly little tarn partly covering her bright hair, a consciously shabby skirt and sweater adorning her slender figure. Sally had been away for a time. She did not return to Riverport until early in June. One night, after dinner in the house on the Hill, she had suddenly announced that she was bored, that she could scream with boredom and that it was indicated that she take a trip to New York and buy some clothes. She added firmly, “Lots of clothes . . . what’s year favorite color, Kim?” “Color?” repeated Jonathan vaguely, “Oh, I dunno. Any color as long as it’s blue—or pink,” he added. Sally laughed. "Marvellous imagination!” She stopped laughing. Her pencilled, dehcate eyebrows drew together. She said abruptly, “I’ve had an invitation to cruise during the summer . . . why I haven’t accepted it I can’t fathom. It must be love.” She grinned at him impishly. After a while she said, “Well, it won’t be so bad. We can have our fun. The Country Club, the island; I hope you’re in trim for a terrifically social summer.” The next day she had left town. Jonathan missed her, but not too much. He was fairly busy, he was up to his ears in a row with the athletic director at the high school. Examining the track and baseball candidates, he had discerned a cardiac weakness in their best track man, a lanky, nervous, long-legged boy who had done a good deal during the past two years to keep up the Riverport record at the interscholastic meets. The athletic director had told him flatly that he was an alarmist. And going over his head, had called the boy’s family physician. That old gentleman, a quiet, pleasant, doddering person, had shaken his head gravely at the upstart pf a colleague. He couldn’t, he said, agree at all. To be sure, Pete was growing rapidly—he came of a family of six footers. But there was nothing wrong with him, nothing at all. A little overUained, perhaps, and growing pains. • “There are no such things as growing pains!” said Jonathan, annoyed.

present. The meeting will be held at the Jefferson high school. May Build Highway On Traction Right-Of-Way Indianapolis. June 7.—ffU.R) Karl Crawford, chairman of the state highway commission, said today that construction of Mie state highway from Indianapolis to New Castle on the Indiana railroad right of way has been suggested to the commission. Engineers have not been assigned to estsiinate cost of the proposrfT. however, Crawford said. The Indiana railroad recently abandoned its service to New Castle to effect economies. The railroad is in receivership.

In the end he went to the boy’s parents. And Pete was withdrawn from active athletics. The coolness emanating from the athletic director, Peters doctor and other interested people became perfectly apparent to Jonathan. He spoke of it to Senator Sutton when that gentleman stopped in to take him up to the Club for a golf match one afternoon. Sutton shook his head, too. He said, “I’m on your side, of course, Jonathan—can’t have that contretemps repeated, you know —” Contretemps, thought Jonathan, irritated; a boy drops dead and he calls it a contretemps I The Senator went on smoothly, leaning back in the car, “But you said yourself this wasn't serious. I mean, it was something he’d outgrow and—” “He’ll outgrow it all right,” agreed Jonathan darkly, “provided he takes some care of himself at this stage and doesn’t start trying to run around a track and beat others to the tape. He has a history of scarlet fever. He’s growing fast. His heart can’t stand an extra strain at this time. That’s all.” “Os course," said the Senator soothingly, “I wouldn’t have anything happen for the world. Naturally, it’s better to lean backwards in such a ease. Even if you get the reputation of being an alarmist," he murmured, “only it’s a darned shame. Pete’s half our claim to glory." Jonathan said shortly, “I’m not interested in glory.” He was in a bad humor for golf. He was just beginning, he'd had a couple of lessons from the new pro who assured him that he had a natural sense of balance. Like most beginners his first few drives had been stupendous and he’d run down a eouple of long putts quite_ by accident He was in two minds about the Country Club. Os course, it was quite true, as the Senator who had proposed him for membership explained, that he would make friends at the Club and friends were apt to turn into patients, for better or worse. On the other hand, there was the initiation fee, the yearly dues, the greens’ fee, the caddies and tipping; he had to keep up his share of the nineteenth hole liquor in his locker; and he would be, he thought rather gloomily, entertained occasionally. Even as a bachelor he would be compelled to do some entertaining in return. Besides, in these senatorial matches, money was always involved. Hence, today, at least, he played a very bad game and the Senator who, although an older hand, was not a great deal better, pocketed six dollars with great satisfaction. Living up to the Suttons had its drawbacks, Jonathan reflected. Sally for instance expected the routine attentions . . . flowers, candy . . . “Riverport isn’t entirely barbarian.” Movies cost little but when you added up the times you’d attended during the past few months, the sum mounted. Sally thought he should have a new car. And she’d decided that his house was shabby. She’d see to that. New curtains, grass and fibre rugs for summer, new screens, slip covers. . . . She’d walked in one day and made a tour of inspection and the first thing he knew she’d sent someone to take measurements and found him “a cheap little woman” to do the sewing and had herself selected the materia] from samples she procured from New York. “It's a bad advertisement,” she told him severely, “to let your house or yourself run down.” Under this expensive spell he had ordered some new suits, flannels, golf clothes. His clubs had run into money too. The Senator had told him that the professional must select them. There were no two ways about it. Consequently Jonathan found himself weighed down by a handsome bag so heavy that he was sorry for his caddy but would have been sorrier for himr-eif had he been forced to cart it about, and a complete set of clubs, of which there were several which remained mysteries to him and which he would probably never use.

"I don’t believe that an octopus was ever guilty of deliberately attacking a human being.’’ Schmoe said following his return from the San Juan Islands, where he spent several months photographing undersea life. “Sometimes they may be contacted by a swimmer or diver and in self-defense wrap their tentacles around him,” Schmoe continued. "Then it is necessarv to cut off the octopus’ arms to escape, but I have never heard of a verified case where one deliberately attacked a human.” —*- 0 Amelia Earhart Continues Flight — St. Louis, Senegal, Africa, June 7 —(UP) —Amelia Earhart, completing the southern trans-Atlantic crossing of her flight around the world arrived here today at 1:35 ip. m.
