 But there was a dash about her, an
 air of sparkling recklessness that
 more than made up for the beauty
 she lacked. Men were crazy about | her.
 When she came into a room you
 forgot all about the pretty girls in 1t. For she had a certain cracking
 vitality that drew all eyes.
 This morning she seemed to fairly blaze with life in spite of the woe
 begone look on her face as she met | Sylvia's eyes. She sank down into
 the chair that Aunt Agony had left
 empty,
 Listen, Sweetie Peach. I know
 you ought to hate me for falling for Ranny," she said, but you couldn't ! begin to hate me like I hate my self"
 She clasped her freckled hands on the table and it was then that Sylvia saw that she was wearing new en- gagement ring-a plain one of plat 1 mum set with a square, table-cut iamond-Ranny's gift, no doubt. It was not the first engagement ring that had decorated that slim, freckled hand, not by any means Fay had been engaged several times before In her short and poppy life, both officially and unofficially. All winter she had worn a be- trothal diamond given her by that fat and prosperous young business man of our town. Eddie Carter. She had broken off with him only q month before.
 Honey, she was saying in her husky voice. and she reached across the little table and took one of Syl- via's cold hands in hers. Honey, give you my word I never meant 10 take Ran away from you. just don't know how we happened to get In so deep. l suppose we were just meant for each other!" At that Sylvia gave q low. little laugh. She had heard Fay say just that very thing about men before when she was having love affairs with them. We were just meant for each other I guess" While Pays affair lasted they were as in
 tense as the Fiery Furnace. But they seldom lasted long. You know Ranny and I never gave a darn about each other all the years we've been friends" she went on. until one night about five weeks ago. I'd been over at the library for some books-romember?" Sylvia nodded. She remembered that evening perfectly. She had worked late and Fanny had promised to take her home, but he failed to do it. She had walked 1 home alone.
 Please don't tell me about it, though, Fay" she begged. T want you to have Fanny, If you love him. But don't ask me to listen to you tell me about-you and him pleasen'
 NO. and you don't have to listen to it, either" came Aunt Agony's thin, high voice from the hall. She appeared in the doorway and stood there holding the morning mall in her hands.

How does Sylvia face the world after being tilted by Randall Phelps? Will she continue to be "too good" for the man she loves and all other men? Or will she keep her threat to Aunt Agony to enjoy like and the depths of heartless Irritation?
 And how about Fay Shirley, the girl who takes a man from her friend, girl who picks lovers care lessly, and as carelessly lets them go?

MAN SKILLED
ACCIDENTALLY
in. SHOOTING
Playful Scuffle Ends
In Death at Store
On Esperanza Ranch
Near Brownsville

Bernado Cruz was shot acci-
dentally and instantly killed early
last night by j. M. Lopez at
a small store owned by Lopez
on the Esparanza ranch about
three miles southeast Of Brownsville,
according to Judge Geo. B. Brown and
Deputy Sheriff A. s. Lanier, who
made an investigation.
Cruz was shot at close range with
a single barrel shot gun. Lopez be-
lieving the gun. was not loaded when
he pulled the trigger. The load cf
shot from the single barrel gun
pierced the chest Of Cruz causing in
slant death.
Justo Lopez. brother Of j. NJ,
VINO il employed BY an oil company
in Brownsville. had driven out the
road to his brothers store and on the
way shot and killed rabbit with the
gun. He had trouble extracting the
she'll but finally got il ont "f the
firearm and put in another load.
When he reached the store n
handed the gun to his brother aai
told him there was something wrong
with the shell extractor. j. VI. then
started to take the new load out OF
the gun with his knife, but his
brother told him not 10 try this be-
cause he already had broken one
knife that way.
J. NJ, evidently believing the dis
charged shell still was in the fire
arm began trying to remove il. Cruz
entered the store at this point and
in n playful scuffle with the sup
posedly empty gun was shot.
This is the substance Of the report
made to officers by the participants
and the story was substantiated BY
number Of eye witnesses.
Lopez was not arrested but APP
peared in Brownsville this morning
for. an additional examination in the
routine Of the court.
Cruz was close friend OF both the
Lopez brothers and there was no
enmity between them, so far as Of
ficers could learn.
