us that II dates back to the seventeenth
century In London, and It's quite pos
sible that even the ancient Egyptians
knew about it. They understood most

at least one American city, It took a
woman to put clearing house on its
feet--and keep II there.
The city Is Birmingham, Ala Tho
woman Is Miss Ina Shepard.
From the days when she first started
TO school, Miss Shepard exhibited a re-
markabe head for figures" Examples

when the Birmingham Clearing House

II was only natural that the name al
Ida Shepard should be proposed and
accepted. Now Miss Shepard has the
distinction of being the only woman of
her kind In the country; but, according

Heaven knows I work hard enough,
and try to do things that people will
like, but they never do. I'm just nc

Her mouth dropped mournfully at
the corners as she concluded her little
song Of self-pity.
The tears would have come in rush
that would have given her bad head
ache and much remorse, II the tele-
phone hadn't rung just then and
startled her back to normal.
And no doubt she did go back to her
tale of woe and work herself up to q
cry when the conversation was over,
because that's what always happens
when people get as discouraged as Syl-
via was.
Other people have very little SYM
pathy for them: "If they know they're
no use to anybody, why don't they do
something about it?" they seem to ask
scornfully.
THEY'VE never known, these scof-

A NTHONY spied Charlottes flying
Al figure from a distance, and in
stantly he was out OF the buggy, and
had flung the reins around the whip
post He was waiting for her when she
did not speak. as lie held her close. He
could feel the hard beating of her heart
and the quick little breaths that seemed
to shake her slight body.
Not frightened, are you?' he asked
finally. as he helped her into the buggy,
She shook her head. Not with you"
The words came in whisper. Her
eyes under the wide brimmed hat were
ike stars.
They drove on through the starry
night. the road stretching like a silver
ribbon before them. little breaths from
the hay fields on each side Of them fill-
ing the world with sweetness. Charlotte

for n time they didn't talk

yesterday and fixed things up"
Charlotte did not answer.
Sweetheart" he said leaning down to
look into her face, You're not unhappy
about anything. are you2"
She shook her head in quick denial,
and again they were silent. Soon the
tights OF Greenville began 10 gleam
ahead of them. and Charlotte sat up
straight as they drove into the village
and stopped before a little white house
on a street that was hardly more than
q lane
Afterward everything seemed blurred
IN her mind There were the tall, thin,
kind faced minister and his little wife
the small living room lighted with a

In an old-fashioned rocking chair. Char
lotte had fieeting memory Of all this
before she stood up beside Tony. but
nothing was very clear in her mind. her
heart was beating so very loud. and her
breath was coming fast Just as though
she had been running.
The minister read in a slightly. dron:
ing voice out Of a little black book, and
Charlotte made her answers In a quick.
frightened little voice that sounded
strangely unlike her usual tones. Tony's
answers we're loud and firm; they COM
forted her. And then suddenly 1t was
