and blushed. In the city dump, on
Touhy road, east of the town Joseph
Smith, 80, wearing nothing but an
old coat and q pair of shoes made
from cast-off balloon tire castings,
smilingly awaited the approach OF
the law.
He Hospitality invited the chief to
enter his hut, which he made from
sardine cans found in the dump.
Smith said he lived by gathering in
the remnants Of picnickers' lunches.
After draping Smith with a
blanket, Lynch turned him over to
the county highway police, who an
nounced they win have alienists ex-
anime the wild mans brow.

She laughed and felt her heart light
again.
She hummed softly, coming into the
room on the third floor where she and
Sally shared one bed and Virginia Day
was to share the other with Connie.
1t was / o'clock. Sallie was already
in bed. Her red hair spread out on
the pillow like soft flame; her quick.

She said Grossly: "It's about time

Sallie broke off as the door opened
in a stealthy quiet. Virginia glided
into the room. She moved toward the
bureau and stood there motionless,
leaning on her elbows and staring into
the dark glass.
"Turn on the light" Sallie shouted.
Virginia Strengthened. Her hands
fumbled at the switch. As the light

CHAPTER Xxx
WISE OR FOOLISH VIRGINS!

Virginia came into the room, shak-
ing her long, fluffy hair over her
face. In the light it shimmered like
very bright silver.
She was slender thing with small,
Madonna face, dark, troubled eyes
and this remarkable white-gold hair.
Her mouth was small, but the lips
were full and very deeply curved. Just
now they had pathetic, quivering
look like a child about to cry.
Sallie sat up in bed, doubling her
arms about her knees. Sallie was 10,
two years younger than her sister
Connie. She was aggressive, with the
callous manner Of a boy; a mind
seething with curiosity and revolt; o
heart eager and humble.
She said CURLY: whats the mat
ter, Virgo? You and Hum have q
fight?"
Virginia combed her hair over her
head. 1t trailed to the floor. Hum
phrey and 1 did not fight. We don't"
"But it's only / o'clock, ole thing.
That's too early for lovers to part.
I hear as how midnight hours are
very sweet"
NOT LOVERS.
From behind her shiny veil vir-
ginia laughed with a catchy, uneasy
note. Humphrey and I aren't low
ers. That's the trouble"
"Ah-comforting! So there art
three of us, then-the white sister
hood. 1 was just asking Nora Lee,
Virginia, if we're the wise or the fool

on the sidelines and life and love will
pass us by"
Virginia said, excitedly: "Well, Of
course it will. II you're not willing
to compete with others"
"This sounds intriguing, Virginia,
Be definite. Compete in what way?
With our intellects? Mine and Nora
Lees are certainly the only ones in
evidence"
Again Virginia laughed. "And you
aren't parked in machine, are you,
Sal? And you didn't get to the foot
ball game, did you? And no one led
70 uout into the garden, did they?"
"No! And no one ever hast Never

I'm fairly presentable. 1 can dance.
I'd like to know why at 10 80 or IL
