Edgeman, attorney for the Orange
Growers. You would have salary
to start with about $3.50. I'm not
sure. If you are interested, you
might call on him. l am enclosing

May I see you sometime, Miss
Bryce? Perhaps we could go to din
ner. Your pleasure is mine.
Every sincerely,
LUIS LAMARCK."
Chickie read this several times.
She could find nothing insinuating,
nothing to justify the erratic anger
that had swept her at their meet
ing.
He might not even know; might
have no vicious thought at all. She
remembered how holly she had sus-
pected Jake in their first meetings;
how fearful she was Of his atten-
tons. And that day after her flight
in Indianapolis when he had met her
in the rain, forcing her into the
machine even forcing her to dinner
with him, how wildly excited she
had been!
L.amarck might have a passing in
terest; might even wish to help her.
She wrote a formal note of thanks,
put George Edgenan's card in her
drawer. But she did not call on
him. !
Yet a week passed and still. she
had but two offers of work. Both
were at salaries Of SIS.
She sat in her room, waiting for
the telephone to ring. She used to
open her window and read there.
Sometimes she watched the woman
next door hanging out clothes She
jabbed in the clothespins as though
she hated them. Other times two
children, boy and a girl, climbed
on a seesaw. They had a white cat
and they made the poor thing stand
in the middle, tying her there with
a rope. Chickie gazed at them idly
as though from the balcony of an
other world.
One morning, sitting so, she be-
came aware of her isolation; her
utter lassitude. 1t had stolen on her
so gradually she was beaten with
out knowing 1t.

CHAPTER XVII.
Lanarck's Offer

90 HICKIE looked into the eyes
of Luis Lamarck. For full
second her voice failed The
walls Of the room crowded about her.
He smiled. The tenderness of it
sickened her.
Can you not speak here, Mr..
Lamarck?"
Bryce, and it is a most beautiful
afternoon" He glanced again mean
ingly to the corner. Chickie was
aware of Miss Cheesman sitting very
erect, her round eyes dewy and
shining. Miss Cheesman was ro-
mantle. The sight of a goodlooking
man awakened gentle, pastel dreams
of beautiful lost love that had been
hers. She had now a remote air,
but her nostrils quivered Her Wis
itor was frankly straining forward.
Chickie said, at once angry and
alarmed: I'm sorry, Mr.. Lamarck.
I have an engagement"
He was insistent: Just for few
moments, my dear Miss Bryce. 1
have quite an important message.
OF course, if you like, I can state it
here--just as you say"
Chickie had no way Of meeting the
courtly manner with it's subtle in
situations. Almost at the point of
tears she went out Of the room.
Behind her own door she stood,
hesitant and trembling, like one that
is hunted, uncertain which way to
turn. What did Luis Lamarck
want? Why was he here? She re.
membered the sleek gentleness of
his eyes the night Edith had

weak, poor thing her spirit was! Go
back now
No-she never would-not yet,
anyway She clasped her hands
holding herself quiet-holding her
self calm.
Never hurt Jonathan with another
fall:
And the next day she went to the
other employment agencies and gave
her name.
But a week passed and no calls
came for her. Sometimes she
thought: What shall 1 do if this
keeps up? 1t may last through till
the winter"
One afternoon, when it was near
ing s, Mrs. Janis knocked at her
door. There is a gentleman below
who wishes to see you"
ibid he give his name?"
"No-I didn't ask"
When Chickie entered the board
ing house parlor. Miss Cheesman
was sitting in a corner talking to a
visitor. And standing in the center
of the room, bowling, was Luis La
marck.
The color swept in flame to
Chickie's face. Lamarck's sleek eyes
smiled knowingly. He>sa1d in a soft,
burring tone, II hope I don't recall
unpleasant memories"
Chickie answered with touch of
fire, aware that the man knew, 81

COURTHOUSE, DAYTON,
Tenn, July 16.-The Scopes trial
reached it's great crisis today when
the States attorneys offered
motion to exclude all scientific
testimony touching on the relation
of evolution to the Divine origin
of man.
The motion provoked an imne-
date outburst from counsel for
State and prosecution. 1t fol-
lowed an effort by the defense to
recall Professor Maynard M. Met
calf, scientific expert, to continue
his testimony about evolution. The
jury remained excluded and the
LAWYERS made their arguments
solely to the judge.
Maynard Ruled Out.
Clarence barrow projected the
issue by calling Metcalf and asking
him what was the evolution
theory on the origin of man." 1t
was the principal catch" question
of the trial and Metcalf was ready
to say that science did not deny the
divine origin of humans But At
torney General A. Thomas Stewart
would not let him reply, interposing
strenuous objection. A debate fol
lowed and Judge Raulston finally
ordered the scientist off the stand,
to hear arguments from counsel.
The argument brought William

commoner. into the trial for the

IN FIST
FIGHT
Narcotic Agent Rakusin Has
Round With Lawyer Siegal
at Courthouse

The grave and tranquil summer
time atmosphere of the Court
House facade was rudely dis
turbed today when Samuel Rasku-
sin, star of the local narcotic
service, and Abner Siegal, local
lawyer, engaged in a brief but
startling one-round bout on the
steps.
Even the pretty bronze lady on
the Darlington Memorial craned
her neck to witness the unwonted
sight. The customary loungers in
Judiciary Square, who ordinarily
an electric crane would not up
root, threw yesterdays sporting
pages away and raced to the
scene.
Both Had Class.
1t was a pretty fight, but too
soon over. Both pugiiists showed
class and speed. although they used
rules that the late-lamented Marquis
II Queensbury never promulgated.
The fisticuffs were a result of
Siegers conduct of the trial Of Will
liam Henry Eva. alleged Violator OF

Bailey in the District Supreme
Court yesterday.
Siegal. appearing as counsel for
Eva, criticized Rakusin's method Of
work. Rakusin didn't like it and
said so. He is said to have re-
minded Siegal that the latter had
