why they ate so little.
They talked very little too. May
who usually chartered like d brook,
was strangely silent as she crumblei
bread with her white, pointed fin

twisted uneasily in her chair. She
searched her mind for something 10

come.

She picked up her mending basket
and sat down under the light to
darn the absurdly small socks of
Richard Gregory, Junior, who was
fast asleep, upstairs.
For long time there was peace
full silence in the coy room, broken
only by the cracking of the wood
in the fireplace. Then Gloria spoke
again, musingly.
"May would be the very wife for
man like Ulysses x" she said,
with a nod of her bright head.
She's heaps of fun and Ulysses
looks as if he needed a little fun in
his life. Mother Gregory SAYS
his first wife was a perfect pruno"
Dick looked up from his book
and grinncd. cd
Don't worry; Ulysses isn't going
to marry your friend, the widow, ="
ne assured her. "Hc's too much of
a fov to wal kinto Mays trap
But if there was a trap, Ulysses
had certainly walked into it. At
the very moment ! that Dick was
speaking, he was asking Ma Scy-
mour to marry him
asking May Seymour to marry him.
He had stopped the automobile
along the side of the ElIavillc road
and he sat bumped over the wheel
staring into the circle of light that
the headlights flung upon darl:-
mess ahead.
May" he was saying, and his
voice trembled on her name IS nc
spoke it for the first time, "May
Pm lonely. How lonely | didn't
know until saw you again, today.
I want you. | want YOU for my
wife"
He turned in his seat and looked
at her, his hands clenched upon the
wheel. A look of surprise flashed
out upon Mays face.
ooh, Mr.. F6rganw she breathed.
There was surprise in her voice,
But she felt no surprise. She had
seen how it was from the begin
ming, with Ulysses. She had
known that he was falling in love
with her that day, 4 month ago,
when she had gone tor his office.
She had watched him from the
corner of her eye all afternoon.
and had made a private bet with
herself that before the day was over
he would ask her to marry him.
And he had just as she had
known he would!
She had meant to take him, too:
to be the mistress Of his beautiful
house.
She meant to take him now. But
something deep within her. her
conscience perhaps. spoke for
her.
81 don't love you" she said
clearly.
For a long moment Ulysses was
silent, as he studied her face in the
dim glow of the automobile lamps.
"No," ne said at last, 81 know
you don't. u shouldn't have
asked you what | did"
Without another word he bent
forward and started his car 1t shot
forward into the rainy bIackness Of
the night. May leaning back
against the leather cushions, felt a
curious sadness SETTLE down upon
her a sadness that she didn't
understand. What wa the word the
Germans had for it. "Welt-
schmerz"?

around the world. footloose. she
would be glad to reach the quiet
haven of Carlotta's little bungalow.
She thought of Carlotta, and from
her, her thoughts passed ON to Dan
Sprague. She wondered. where h2
was, now. In New York probably,
camped on Francie Lees trail.
Il wonder what would have han
pcned to me if I'd married Dan
when he asked me to, that day,
she went on thinking. 81 wonder
what it would be like to be married
to Dan. q"
She became aware of someone
standing beside her, looking down

map OF "better school equipment. -
Think minute! Five years ago we
raised $27, 10000 for school building,
after this was done, the Ladies Civic
Club raised 81, 500 for furnishing audi
forum &c., and now $6,870.OO. While
there is still a small amount to raise
for the latter, yet we will have the
furnishing of the auditorium, which
will mean several thousand dollars
more, but we are comforicd by our
help mates, "The Civic Club" who
with their friends, will take care OF
most of this.

Under this plan each city and

1T is true that subsequent to
the adoption of what is known
as the segregation plan' the in
sistent aud immediate demands
of the people for larger ap-
oropriations for roads and

position of an additional fifteen
