my children I'll come home to you.
Don't hate me. I love YOU
The next morning seemed to have
solved the perplexities of the night.
Bret vowed the high resolve that
Sheila should be replaced upon the
stage.
He telephoned to Vickerys apart
ments and told Vickery he must see
him at once. Vickery answered.:
I'm at the last revision of my new
play and I can't leave it while it's
on the fire Meet me at the Vaga-
bonds club and we'll have lunch, eh?
say at half past r."
At l o'clock Vickery had not
reached the club, and a friend of
Brets, named Crashaw who had
grown wealthy in the steel business,
caught sight of Bret and took him
under his wing. registered him in the
guest book, and led him to the cock
tail desk.
1t suddenly came over Bret that
this club of actors was as benevolent
an institution in it's way as any mon
a-.ery.
Sorry, old man, but I've got to
run. Before I go. though, I'd like to
show YOU the club. You can choose

Vickery had failed him. He dreaded
to go back to Sheila without definite
news.
Of all the men he most hated to
ask Eldon's help, but Eldon was the
sole rescuer on the horizon, so he
spoke:

Vickery did not know Sheila had
been listening to his eulogy of her

regrets at her idleness. 1850
Gene here said Bret, has been
roasting me for keeping you off the

Sheila's voice was housewifely and
matter of-fact.
"Of course not. I want to go to

Then she went to her. room and

When they reached the theater the

All four exchanged greetings with
cordiality. Time had blurred the old
grudges. The admiration in the eyes
of 10th Reben and Coleman treasured
Sheila more than all the compliments

Once more Sheila was in the Odeon,
but as one of the laity. She wanted
to play-she smoldereo with ambi-

she belonged.
He leaned close to her and whis-
pered:
Don't you wish you were up
there?''
For his sake she answered:

He knew that she lied and why.
That night both lay awake and both
pretended to be asleep. In the two
small heads lying as motionless on
the pillows as melons their brains
were busy as anthills after a storm
Eventually both fell into that mys-

Gambling at Maine Fairs
Nav Cost State Stipend

Commissioner of Agriculture Frank
P. Washburn is anything but pleased
with the report that has gone out in
connection with the gambling case at
the Andover fair in which the men
pleaded guilty to that offence, in the
Rumford municipal court and were
fined, to the effect that he had in any
degree sanctioned as commissioner of
agriculture the use of any kind of a
gambling device at any fair, or any
where else, for that matter He said
today:

never given any such sanction, en-

past season have discovered that al
though the production of sweet corn
has appeared to be highly profitable
in the past. with the average pro-
duction and price received the net
profit has been much smaller than
they anticipated; they have elimi-
mated all the Gust stomary anxiety and
worry during the growing season,
the expense of operating their farms
has been materially reduced, there
are no fertilizer bills to be settled
this fall, and on the whole, interest
in the production of sweet corn has
greatly decreased.
The most important thing being
considered by the growers at this
season of the year is the cost Of pro
duction for 1929, and at the present
time there is not much to indicate
any material reduction in the cost.
AS tAcre will not be surplus of corn
carried over it is reasonable to eX-
pect that there will be IL good demand
for Maine packed corn for 1922. The
packers have put on a vigorous cam

camouflage of reporting sufficient
acreage as being secured in different
localities.
