♦ 20 Years Ago Today Aug. 2, 1937- Charles Brodbeck, manager of the water department stated that five water spigots have been made available to the various fair exhibitors. Policeman Ed Miller and family have returned from a week’s vacation trip through lowa, Wisconsin, and other points of interest. Jesse W. Rice. Decatur hotel propietor and one of the city’s most prominent citizens, died at his home in the Rice Hotel this morning. Fred Helm of Indianapolis spent the week-end as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Avon Burk. Police today warned all cyclists to stay off the midway for the duration of the fair. Mr. and Mrs. Felix Holthouse, former Decatur resirents, have moved from Chicago to St. Louis, Mo. • Modern Etiquette I BY ROBKRTA LEI » » Q. Is it improper for a bride to take active part in her wedding rehearsal? A. This is not a question of propriety, but superstition. It has become custom for someone to take her role in the proceedings while the bride sits on the sidelines and directs. Q. It is proper for a girl to powder her nose, rouge her lips, file her nails, or comb her hair in a public place? A. Nail-filing and hair-combing —NEVER! Touching up the lips or powdering the nose are excusable, if done quickly and unostentatiously. Q. It is proper to take more than one kind of food on the fork at the table at one time? A. No. Take only one piece of meat or one forkful of potatoes at a time. Q. What is the amount of the fee a bridegroom should give the minister who preforms the ceremony? A. There is no set fee — anything from ten dollars to one hundred dollars, depending upon the groom's means and on the size of the wedding. Whatever the amount, it is enclosed in an envelope and given to the clergyman by the best man immediately after the ceremony.

CHAPTER 22 THE MATHERS cabin was far from finished. A range took up one corner, with the wall on the other side of the stove covered by shelves from the floor to the ceiling. The furniture, I judged, had been brought from Missouri. “A lot of work still to be done on the cabin,” Mathers said apologetically, “but we’re putting it off until winter when the weather’s too bad to work outside.” "You’ve done wonderfully well, John,” Sarah Pardee said. ’Tm satisfied,” Mathers admitted, “but I do want to put up a lean-to for Nela so she’ll have her own room. She’s sleeping in the tent back of the cabin and Tm sleeping in the wagon.” Nela Mathers was wearing a white dress with a ruffly lace collar that gave a tonfe of primness to her, a deceiving touch, I thought. Now that I had an opportunity really to look at her, I took full advantage of it She tried to be lady-like, but her snub nose and square chin gave me the impression she was a tomboy at heart Even when the conversation was serious, her gray eyes held a twinkle of laughter. She was prettier than I had first thought. Her face had lost the peeled look and was smoothly tanned: and I liked the speed with which she put a good meal on the table. She caught me staring at her and winked boldly at me. I lowered my head, my face hot with embarrassment. She looked down, too, laughing silently, and I wished I had her outside alone where I could deal with her properly. The colony probably had somesingle men who were interested in her. and I could name at least six eligible cowboys who would be camping in front of Mathers’ cabin from now on Until one of them got her roped and tied. As far as I was concerned, I’d go after her so hard my tracks would be smoking if she hadn’t been John Mathers’ daughter. Nela rose the instant we finished her three-layer cake. “Dad, will you help Maria do the dishes ? I’m going to ask Mr. Beeson to take me for a ride.” “It strikes me you’re a little presumptuous,” Mathers said. “You don’t know Mr. Beeson will take you for a ride, and asking a guest to do the dishes— ’’ “Os course Maria will do the dishes,” Sarah broke in. "I can dry. You won’t have to help, John." She nodded at me. “Will, you go ahead.” a “Sure," I said, and, getting up, whirled my chair around like a © Wayne D. Overholser 1936. From tin

You can take the candles out of their holders, wrap in waxed paper, and lay away flat in some drawer.

showoff. “Come on, Miss Math- ; ers. You want a ride. You’ll get i one.” By the time I brought the rig : to the front door of the cabin, she was waiting. Clouds boiling i up over the Sangre de Cristos had turned the day cooL Nela had put i on her coat and a wool cap. She jumped into the seat beside me, saying, ’’Don’t get any wrong ideas in your head; I want to go to the ranch, but being subtle isn’t one of my talents.” “The ranch?” "Anchor,” she said impatiently. "You heard we bought it, didn't you?” I drove up the road, staring straight ahead. I had forgotten all about Mathers buying Anchor, but that wasn’t what bothered me. It was Nela, sitting beside me, her shoulder touching mine. I had been floored by her asking me to take her for a ride. “You had heard, hadn’t you?” she asked. “Yeah, sure.” I swallowed. “Look, Miss Mathers, I. . “Nela,” she said. “All right, Nela. I was going to say I can't figure you out I never intended to ask you, I mean, I . . .’’ She put a stop to my floundering. “I know exactly what you mean. To you I am one of the enemy. As for me, I accepted you as a guest at our table out ot deference to Mrs. Pardee. I realize that asking a man to take me for a ride is not being ladylike, but I assure you I can be lady-like when I have to. I didn’t have time today. I couldn’t ask Dad to take me and I couldn’t go < off by myself and leave every- i body.” Her voice had been cool and distant, but now she smiled, and added with some warmth, “I just did what I thought would work.” “Why do you have to go to the < ranch ?’’ i “Merle Turner’s running it for 1 Dad." She looked squarely at me. 1 "Last week Turner hired Gene 1 Dillingham. I want to see what they’re doing." I I was shocked, but only for a moment. I realized at once it was i a natural alliance, with Dilling- i ham and Turner old friends and both having practically the same 1 grudge - t “If Dillingham’s there,” I said i finally, •’you’d better stay out- 1 side. Or don't you know what i will happen when we meet?” t “Nothing will happen today,” t she said. “At least, I don’t think sot, Turner and Dillingham aren’t ready."

Hardy has filed a complaint for divorce against Karen Snyder Hardy, and a summons has been ordered issued to the defendant, returnable September 3. The couple was married February 24, IStar, and separated February 27, 1957.

arguments. I know al! of them, and they aren't good enough." "What are the standard arguments?” "You know them if anyone does,” she answered tartly. “This is cattle country. Short growing season. Crops won't mature.” “All facts,” I said. "Maybe, but there's more to it than that, isn’t there? I mean, with you. You're afraid, so you’ll fight and perhaps die because you’re afraid.” "I’m not afraid.” Then I realized what she had said was true. “Well, maybe I am. I’m afraid yottr dad will make Sarah hate me. Tm afraid your people will move in on us regardless of what your dad can do. I’m afraid they’ll destroy the valley by plowing up fields that should be left £ grass. Is that enough things be afraid of?” 1 "Yes," she said, “and I'm afraid, too. I love my father. «at's why I left a comfortable me to come with him. He owned a hardware store that was giving him a good living, but he got this harebrained scheme and he just had to come. I know he’ll fail as well as you know it, but ft* different reasons." *1 turned off the road and started up the steep slope that led to the Anchor buildings. I looked at her, feeling common ground between us for the first time. "What are your reasons?” I asked. “I know Dad,” she said. “But on this colony project, he thinks in terms of how he wants it to be, and he gets carried away so completely he can’t see conditions as they actually are.” “Like the climate?" She nodded. "But it was the people I had in mind. Because he was sure everything would be ~ just as he planned, a well rounded community. Most of the folks signed up because he was paying for their passage out here. I don’t •• • think they ever intended to stay with the colony.” "I thought the people in church looked pretty solid.” * "Most of the folks you saw were farmers. They're the ones who will stay.” We drew up in front of the house, and I wrapped the lines around the brake handle and stepped down, wondering what Mathers would eventually do with Anchor. If his ignorance of the cattle business didn’t ’‘break him, Merle Turner would. -I crossed the front porch and stepped through the doorway. I stopped, flat-footed, unable to breathe."

CHAPTER 23 NELA and 1 walked up the path to the house, and it seemed to me that in the short time Alec Dodson had been gone a noticeable decay had set in. I followed Nela through the front door into the living room. It looked hke a boar’s nest Four men were playing cards, but Gene Dillingham was not one of them. Merle Turner was there, looking exactly as I remembered him: big head, red eyes, and fang-like teeth which were never quite hid.den eyen, when his lips were closed: "Howdy, Nela,” Turner said, and went on playing. "Merle, I want you to meet Will Beeson from the Box P," Nela said. Turner put his cards down and rose. “Will Beeson," he murmured as if he had trouble placing me. "I remember you. Worked for Joe Pardee, didn’t you?” I nodded. "You remember me, ~ all right” He shrugged. "I remember Joe Pardee, too. I hear he finally got what was coming to him.” "He was shot if that’s what you mean.” . He started to say something, but picked up his cards instead. Nela introduced me to the others: Hec Troy, Lew Becore, and Lin Runyan, ordinary men who would probably follow Turner in any direction he took. , "We" missed you this morning in church," Nela said. The three looked embarrassed, but Turner shrugged. "We got started on this game early this morning," he said. “You know how it is when you work hard all week. Give me two, Lin." Nela looked at me and nodded toward the door. "Where’s Dillingham, Turner?" I asked. “Gene? Oh, he went to town, I think.” I left with Nela, sure that Turner was lying, but if Dillingham wanted to stay under cover while < I was there, I’d let it go at that. > I helped Nela into the rig, and went around the back and climbed i in beside her. She retained her composure until we were out of i sight of the house. Then she i began to cry. I putted up and put an arm around her. She came to me wittingly, lowering her head against my shoulder, but only for ' a minute; then she straightened and pushed my arm away. "I hate weepy women. Will,” she said, "but 1 did need your i strong shoulder for a minute. Everything finally piled up on me. I didn’t think Turner would > be working today. I don’t think he’s worked since Dad sent him up there. I just had to go sec what was happening. Dad spept t so much money for the place, not even knowing what he was getting. Just taking Turner’s word."

Because there was nothing I could say, nothing I could do, we rode in silence until we reached the cabin. She got down, said, "Thank you,” and ran inside. A moment later she called from the doorway, “Sarah's ready to go home, Will,” so 1 waited. John Mathers appeared in the doorway with Sarah in his arms; he carefully set her in the seat beside me, then kissed her and stepped back. I said, “Goodbye," and touched the brim of my hat to Nela, who was standing just outside the cabin. She smiled and waved. We drove fifty yards in silence, then Sarah said, “Now you know about John and me.” "Yes,” I said. "I knew before,” and after that neither one of us felt like talking. » • • We did not go back to the colonists' settlement or to Mathers’ place. Sarah said it was too hard on her. She'd rather stay at home where she was familiar with everything and had her wheel chair. Instead, Mathers and Nela came to the Box P for Sunday dinners. As soon as the meals were finished, Nela and 1 always took a walk, or I’d saddle up a couple of horses and we’d go for a ride. I was not aware of it at first, but it wasn't long before I knew 1 was in love with her. I wasn't sure just how she felt, and I was afraid to find out. Even if she did love me, there was no future for us so far as I could tell. So I lived for each Sunday, trying not to think about the tomorrow that was always in Mathers’ mind. Every afternoon with Nela was like a too sweet dream. Sarah kept telling me everything was going fine with the colony, but Nela told me how it really was, with more and more discontent among the colonists, who were finding that building new homes in the wilderness was quite different from the idyllic concept of life in Easter Valley that John Mathers had given them. "And now Dad's broke,” she said bitterly. "Just the farmers are left and they’ll staj.” She had said that before, and I’m sure she believed it I did too, if they had enough land. That, as I had known all along, was the crux of the Whole thing. It was only a question of time until they spilled out on Brahms’ and Costello’s grass, and on the Box P’s. So we lived through much of the summer, waiting for the bubble to break. Then, one evening in August, with purple twilight steadily deepening in the valley, I crossed the front porch of the house and stepped through the doorway. I stopped, flat-footed, .unable to breathe. Sarah was on

her feet, a full two stops in front ■ of her wheel chair. I hadn’t seen I her stand upright since her acci- , dent. I stood there staring at her, ! and she looked back at me. The 1 light inside the house was so dim 1 1 could not make out the expression on her (face. Suddenly she cried, “Will, look! ’ 1 can walk! 1 told you I would." She took two more steps toward me, stow, hesitant steps, then ' toppled headlong to the floor. I ran to her and picked her up. , "I’m all right, Will," she whispered. ’Tm all right” I would have taken her to her bed but she wouldn’t let me. “Put me on the couch," she said. “I’m not ( hurt, I tell you.” I obeyed. “Just let me rest j here a few minutes," she said, “and then put me in the chair. I've been doing two steps forward and two back. I wanted to surprise you, but I didn't hear you come in, and when I saw you I got excited and thought I could walk to you. I should have known better. I suppose it will be months before 1 can walk across the ( room, but 1 am improving, Will.” j I pulled up a chair and sat down beside the couch. She reached out and took my hand and squeezed it. whispering, 2—“Will, Will, you didn’t believe me, did you?” "I do now," I said. I leaned forward until I was close enough to see the beads of sweat on her forehead, the expression of agony on her face. It must have been painful for her to stand up, let alone walk. Then her fall . . . “Sarah,” I said, "do you love Mathers so much that you’ve got to walk for him?” “Maybe it isn’t just him,” she said. "I’ve been a drag on you for a long time. Maybe 1 want td walk for your sake, Will. Have you thought of that?" "No. You haven’t been a drag on me. I thought it was Mathers —” I stopped, completely confused by what she had said, and added lamely, “It just doesn't seem right to be torturing yourself." ’‘l’ve got to, Will.” She still held my hand, and her face seemed devoid of expression in the fading twilight. “Will, aren’t, you getting too interested in Nela?" My heart started to pound. This was the first time Sarah had mentioned it. She didn't sound al all pleased. "You’re so young, and you've never been in love. If you aren't careful, It can de' troy you." Sarah is going to tell Will. Continue “Gunlock” here tomorrow.
