wistfully. @This makes it all the harder

Young Carson Lee smiled tenderly.
All right he said softly. "I'l go.
But I'm coming back tomorrow. I've
got to, because we're going to be married.
SHE hadn't said she loved him. He
didn't know that she did. 1t simply
seemed to the young man that she'd have
to, he wanted her SO much.
They could hear the hoarse whistle of
the ten-fifteen sounding beyond the town.
you'll have to hurry" she said.
Good nights See you tomorrow, he
cried, and dashed toward the bridge
He glanced over his shoulder as he ran.
She was standing where he had left her.
The rumble of the train was growing
into roar. He reached the tracks, and
hurried across the switch and on to the
ties leading to the bridge. The train
whistled again. Its headlight silvered the
tracks in front of him. He heard the cars
crunch to stop at the switch, where the
train always paused before going on over
the river. He was third of the way across
when the two staccato blasts signaled its
oncoming. The rails trembled under his
feet. For a moment a sense of helpless
ness possessed him. He could neither re-
treat nor make the farther side Then he
swung to the side, gripped at the iron
framework, and held himself out over the
water. Yellow windows ratified past.
Almost Immediately everything was
surprisingly still. He could hear the cur
rent swishing past the piles. He swung
back to the track, and looked over toward
Laurian's house. His breath caught
sharply. He could see the white form
at the doorway. Back of her, bearing down
with long strides, he saw the dark form of a
man. An ominous dread tattooed at his
temples. He rushed back over the ties,
stumbling now and then, but deity keep
ing his footing.
Laurian turned suddenly She saw the
man, now almost beside her. She lifted
her hands in startled gesture seemed to
waver, and then rushed into the mans
outstretched arms. Carson stood at the

end of the bridge, watching stupidity. A
cold moisture formed on his forehead. He
turned and made his way duly to the
town. At every step his footballs seemed
to echo, "Sham, sham, sham The term
the town folk had used came without any
volition on his part.
He did not sleep that night. After an
hours nervous tossing, he switched on the
light at his head and read until dawn.
Then he dozed for an hour or so, fitfully.
After he had got up and taken cold
shower, he went out into the fresh morn
ing to meet his disillusion calmly.
He walked rapidly along the high clay
bluffs. There were things he could not
understand, but at least he was going
to be honest with himself. He had
trusted her. And yet The vision of
Laurian as he had seen her last flashed
before him. tt
He stopped suddenly, and sat down on
the edge of the bluff. The lines of his face
were firm with new resolution. He
knew now, very clearly that he could not
put Laurian Temple out of his life by
mere rapid walking and logic. He had
asked her to marry him. He had asked
HcI uecduSe le Wduteu Her more lIldH any
thing else in the world. And he knew
now that he was going to keep on wanting
her. He got up resolutely, walked briskly
back to his cottage, took his car from the
garage, and drove to town. He knew that
no one could help him but Laurian herself.
THE sound of her off-key singing as
he approached was disconcerting. 1t
seemed unaccountably strange that she
should be happy when he was panied.
AS he stood, irresolute, close to the door,
he became subtly aware of another pres
ence. Laurian was not alone. With a
final tug at his determination, he knocked.
The singing ceased. Laurian came to
the door,
"Oh," she said, surprised, and smiling
gayly, al didn't think you'd come so
soon. 4.- 81
She had expected him, then But, of

After time they rose. The moonlight
caught the CLINT in her hair and fell on
the velvet of her face. She lifted hand
to smooth back the curls the wind had {

fully, yet they were reliant. She drew
her hand gently from his clumsy caress

put out her hand and said: "Thanks

Then Carson held the soft hand in his
big, trembling one, and peered into her
wide, wondering eyes, and answered:

He was staring beyond her,
at the back of the man sitting
in a corner, looking out toward
the lake. She understood.
"Come in she hurried on.
II want you to meet my
father"
There was a great light in her
gray-blue eyes. 1t seemed as
if that light, and the knowledge
back Of it, swept over Carson
and took with it a great bur-
den. He went in.
Temple got up and shook
hands in silence. 1t was an
awkward moment. Carson
was readjusting many things
in his mind. The other mans
face was masklike. creased
with wrinkles that had ceased
to be expressive. His gray
hair matted over a forehead
that was eloquent of care and
sadness. He looked into Car
sons eyes thoughtfully.
"I'm-glad to meet you.

barrassed pause.

HARDWICK AND OWEN
BLOCK AVIATION BILL
Consideration Of Food Measure
Substituted as Result Of
Amendments Urged
WAsHINGToN. Iulv 1s.


Immediate passage OF the $3.50, 900. 900
aviation bill by the Senate was blocked this
afternoon by objections raised by Senator
Hardwici Of Georgia. and Senator owen. Of
Oklahoma. An effort will be made to pass
u tomorrow
Senator Hardwick offered an amendment
TO prevent the use Of the draft in recruiting
men for flying Senator owen tried TO have
an amendment added to the measure to
place the supervision Of the expenditure Of
the s6IO,OOOOOO in the hands Of the Gov
crnment committed He declared some-
thing should be done TO safeguard the peo-
ple's money from possible graft.
These amendments provoked much dis.
cussion. with tho result that. under the
unanimous consent agreement now in oper-
alton the food control bill came up at II
o'clock and displaced the aviation measure.
In bringing up the bill Senator Chamber
lain said the purpose was so plain that II
required no explanation.
Senator Curtis, Of Kansas. asked about
the draft provision. Chamberlain said he
believed the President already had that au-
thority. lie explained, however, that the
signal corps did not expect TO try TO obtain
tho men for actual flying by draft, but
would seek to get all by the volunteer sys-
tom. lie pointed out that ten men would
be necessary on the ground to every one
actually engaged In flying.
Senator Hardwick took the position that
the provision In the aviation bill would
enable the President to draft additional men
for the aviation service lie urged the
adoption Of his amendment to strike out the
draft authorization which he called 'un-
wise, un-AmerCan and unnecessary"
senator Nardamau Of Mississippi, an
nouuccd that he could not support the bill
Referring to the auti-draft demonstrations
I'm Canada. Nardaman said:
"It is very gratifying to me to see the
manifestations of patriotism in the country
across the border"
Senator Nardamln also assaled the nuz-
zling Of the press and speech, declaring that
| the efforts Of the Administration to put
| werc extremely unfortunate"
Senator owen said he had read that the
| $3.50 100000 appropriation would buy only
! about $4,000 airplanes 1T ought to buy
| many times that number" he said some
! thing must be put i'm this bill to safeguard
! the expenditures and protect the people of
| this country against departmental or any
| other indirect graft"
! Senator Reed, Of Missouri, urged the
! passage Of the bill without delay. AL
| though an ardent voluntecr-system man,
| he said he did not believe the draft pro-
! vision in the aviation bill gave the President
! any more authority than that which he al
| ready possessed.
| Senator Weeks, Of Massachusetts, de-
| clared there were enough applicants now for
| places in the flying corps to supply the
| needs for at least a year.
