New Britain herald., 1925-09-09

New Britain a week later, 1t seem ed to her for moment that the last eighteen months of her life had been a bad dream.
 The world beyond the New Brit ain station seemed suddenly re- mote and unreal to her. Had she ever really been away from home? Had she really ever known such people ss Carlotta and Dan and Herbie Waterbury?
 They seemed like dim figures in half-forgotten dream, now that she was back here where she be- longed!
 When Eddy McAlvin's taxicab drew up before the white house with green shutters where lived the young Dick Gregorys, and Gloria herself came out to welcome her, May knew suddenly that she could never go away from New Britain again.
 Why. it was home to her! And these friends of hers were all she had to live for, now that every thing else seemed to have turned to dust and ashes before her very | eyes!
 You lucky girl" she said to Gloria, when she had eaten a late supper of chicken sandwiches and tea, and the two friends stood be- side Dicky Juniors little white bed in the big white nursery upstairs.
 You lucky girl," she said again Don't you know that this little white house. and the husband and child who live here with you, are the real joy of living?"
 She said it breathlessly as If she had just made a great discovery, But Gloria only laughed the gentle, happy laugh of a woman who has found the glowing heart of Life. itself.
 "of course, I know it," she an. swered in a half-whisper so as mol to waken the baby, Marriage and motherhood that's the high est happiness any woman can have May. That's what we're born for - we women" ..y

 You might as well sit down" I said, pumping up smile for MT. Eldridge's benefit. Mrs. Ticer's pies are well worth wasting five minutes over and you can be sure she'll have them before you in much less time than that"
 He hestated, but "Bill" pushed a chair behind him and eased him into it with brusque familiarity.
 You cant go on without me, boss" he said with a grin 'and I refuse to move until I'm outside piece of that pie. So you might as we'll enjoy yourself too."
 His speech was punctuated by Mrs. Tiers rcappearance with a tray containing plates, glasses. forks, napkins, a pitcher of milk and an Immense pumpkin pie which she immediately cut into three pieces obeying my distressed signal by giv- ing me much the smallest portion.
 "There!" she said hospitably, "You'll do your work ever so much better after getting outside of that"
 With his mouth full Of pie Bill grinned appreciatively at her.
 After a piece of this I'd be in good humor enough to let my wife's relations off easy" he said. How about you, boss?"
 It's very good pie" was Mir. sldridge's only comment, and he ate his portion rapidly, then stood un manifestly impatient at Bills" ling erlng over the unexpected treat.
 Has this Dackett any luggage here?' he asked of Mrs. Ticer,

THE STORY so FAR:

May Seymour whose husband killed himself because of her love affair with Jim Carewe, returns to her homo town after a years ab- sence. She sells her property, and with her whole tiny fortune In cash. sets out to find and marry q man with money
 At Atlantic City she meets Her bert Waterbury and Dan Sprague. through divorcee. Mrs. Carlotta Frolking, who Is in love with Dan.
 May believes Waterbury to be rich, and sets her cap for him. When he proposes she accepts him and turns over her money to him for investment, He disappears i'm mediately, and the money with him!
 Penniless, May sells her jewelry and fur coat to buy railroad ticket to Los Altos, Calif., where Carlotta has bungalow. On the way she stops off in her home town to see her friends. the Dick Greg orys, and meets wealthy widower, Ulysses F'organ. He falls sincerely in love with May and asks her to be his wife. But she refuses, ex- blaming that she likes him too much to marry him without love. Then she leaves town and goes to Los Altos to visit Carlotta, but stays there only few daysC owing 10 Carlotta's unwillingness to let her live there without paying her board.
 May drifts to Los Angeles, hoping to find a job, and fails, She leaves her baggage at the Alexandria ho- tel, unable to pay her bill there, and moves to a cheap boarding | house. By this time she hasn't so much as a f1ve-cent piece. She sells her last pieceSo of iewelry ' for s20, and wires to Ulysses For gan, asking him to lend her enough money to pay her hotel bill and l buy railroad ticket home. Then she writes to the Gregorys to ask them if she can make her home with them for 8 short time.

 Then he quietly moved over where he could look up in that tree. At once he discovered mushrooms wedged into the forks of that tree and he knew that they were put to dry Buster chuckled to himself.

 It was busy fifteen minutes later when Ulysses tried the number again. $
 It was still busy at three o'clock when he loft the office to so to 6 business meeting block away.
 "Doggone it!" he said. cramming his hat down over his eyes. and slipping into his overcoat, T don't believe that phone's really busy! These telephone girls don't know their business, half the time!"
 But tho telephone girl knew lHr business perfectly, as most tele- phone girls do. And the Grcgorys' line was busy, e..
 For Gloria was calling up all of Mays old friends, including Myra Gail, 10 ask them to play bridge at Il party she was giving for May 'on ncNt Thursday at two" To Mays surprise and to Gloria's relief, all of them came, including Myra Gail. A little cold and curious they seemed at first thesk women who had once been MsyS warm friends.
 But as the afternoon wore on, and the lamps were lit 10 dispel the purple dusk of the winter day and tea made its appearance, they be- gan to thaw and chatter in their natural, light-heartcd way. And May began 10 feel as if tbe cruel bands of Time had turned back two years, as If she were the care less, slangy May of the old days the spoiled wife of the hus- ! band who adored her. the reckless woman who had let Jim Carewe lead her along the nower-hung precipice of disaster.
 How different she vas now from that other May! How much more sober and quiet! Life had tanned and taught her thing or two, as it teaches us all thing or two.
 Now, didn't it 20 heautifully?S cried Gloria delishtedly when the l door had closed upon the last guest. You see! .. told you people were ready to welcome you back to the fold, didn't I? And you see. they were, ."
 May didn't answer, and she want on. with 8 knowing look in her clear eyes, If we'd all just learn to meet people half way in this world, there wouldn't be half the heartaches that there are. , By the way, Dick and I are having open house. on Christmas day.

At first Buster Bear couldn't make out just what Chatterer was doing. He didn't see just what 1t was that Chatterer had In his mouth. He only knew that Chatterer was carrying something up the tree and he felt reasonably sure that that something was something to eat.
 "Ill wait and see If he comes down again." thought Buster, and he waited. He didn't have to wait long. It was only minute or two before down came Chatterer and scurried away as fast as his little legs could take him. Buster couldn't sec where he went, but after waiting a few moments, Buster heard those little scurrying feet returning. Then Chatterer appeared, and this time Buster saw what 1t was that Chat terer was carrying.
 "A mushroom" exclaimed Buster under his breath. Now what is that red-footed scamp doing with
New Britain herald., 1925-09-09

Gloria slowly shook her head. 'I still don't understand why you bor- rowed from him. Why couldn't you have asked Dick to send you money?" she wanted to know.
 May shrugged her shoulders un- der the pink silk sleeves of her bed jacket. "oh, I don't know!" she said airily. 'I just happened to think of Forgan!"
 But you hardly know him!"
 That's true enough" May ad- mitted. But still ."
 She dropped her eyes to her plate. But still .. know him we'll enough 10 have had chance to marry him."
 Gloria opened her big brown eyes wide. And you didn't take him ?" she asked.
 May shook her head. "No. I liked him too we'll" she explained, ito hang myself around his neck like a mill-stone. You know how people here treat me because of Johns suicide! . . Like an outcast, don't they? . And l couldn't let Ulysses Forgan In on that"
 "People don't look upon you as an outcast," Gloria contradicted. "Only the other day Lola Hough was asking about you. All that talk about you has blown over as talk always does! I'll bet you any thing you like that all your old friends would welcome you back here, If they knew you were here."
 But May only laughed a little bitter laugh. "I remember how Myra Gail welcomed me home the last time I met her on the street." she said. Refused 10 speak 10 mel"
 "Oh. well! Myra Calls such a snob that she never speaks decent ly 10 anybody anyway" Gloria said. If she were presented at court, shed probably snub the king and tell the queen her crown was on crooked"
 ITO get back 10 this Ulysses For gan matter" she went on after g minute or two, Flow much did you l borrow from him?"
 Two hundred dollars" ! "Wel." Gloria knitted her brows You've got to borrow two hundred more from Dick, and pay Forgan And you've got 10 do it today, It's not decent for a woman to owe 1 money to a man."
 Dicks a man." parried May.
 Dicks my husband, and I'm | your friend so that's that' said Gloria, She went out into the hall and called Dick from his brea kfast.
 "As soon as you get to the office send a messenger boy out here witt s2Oo In cash, please" she said, pre- tending not to see his puzzled look May owes some money and she't rather owe 1t to you than to tht man she borrowed it from! See?'
 Dick didn't quite see, But he sen the money; and May, in turn, sem it by messenger to Ulysses along with a graceful note of thanks.
 Ulysses found 1t lying on hi desk when he returned to his office
