was an irresponsible boy and a terrible
trial, she reflected, but she supposed she'd
have to put up with him the rest of their
lives. If ne could only land" Miss Defrees.
What was it she had heard about Miss
DefreeS and her cats? She turned the pages
of her newspaper to the society column.

of her, and interfering with her cOncentra-

Suddenly the clamOrOus thought forced
itself to the surface of her consciousness.
Emily Ann gathered up her vanity case
and her dinner check and hurried out. She
turned the corner into the avenue and halt
ed the first bus hat came along. AS the
bus passed the big, gloomy Defrees man

~sphinxlike c-Ountenances to this expression

had not shaken off the feeling Of awe
which the stone beasts inspired when she
reached the catalOg room and began her
search of the G indexes.
After half an hour Emily Ann sighed des-
pOndently. Her inclination was to give up
and go home, but the half memory which
had sent her to the library in the first
place was still persistent. And if she could
only verify it, it might help Danny. She
approached the information desk with an
air of timidity, which would have surprised
Mr.. O'Day. In the familiar environments in
which he had seen her she was always sure
of her ground; here, however, she was in q

He was a nut, too, I suppose sug-

I'm this story there was a fellow named
Dana Da," he continued, "and an English
man who didn't like cats. This was in In

her knuckles and shaking her head slowly.
Il wish Mr.. Van Dam would come. I'm

you? Isn't that nice"

way to do a service for Emily Ann, espe-
cially if she smiled upon him as she asked
it. Emily Ann smiled at the assistant libra
rian. Being human, or as human as an as
sistant librarian can be and still be an
assistant librarian, and having excellent
sight in both eyes, he left his desk and es-
corted Emily Ann to the newspaper room,
where he went to great pains to help her
find the references to cat shows in the
newspaper index. He even went so far as
to get down the bulky newspaper files for
her-seven eight, ten years back.
THANK you so much" said Emily Ann
rewarding the assistant librarians efforts
with another smile. And please, there is

The assistant librarian blinked his eyes
rapidly for q few seconds. 1t might have
been merely his way of shaking up his
mental processes, or it might have been be-
cause Emily AIMS smile had dazzled him.

Well, you've got another think coming.

Sides" Emily Ann added, incOnsequentially,

"She doesn't?" Danny echoed. "Then that
kills that scheme. But idn't it sound like a
good one? And wasn't that a wonderful
coincidence"
For Heavens sake Danny, stop getting
all your ideas out of books and think up
a few original ones" was Emily AIMS re-
ply. TRY forgetting all about cats and see
if you can't think of some logical reason
why Miss Defrees ought to sell her house,
and then go and sell her on it. And don't
forget that you've got to take those papers
in that Tenth street matter down to the
registrars office this morning."
Gee, 1 nearly forgot it, at that" apollo
gized Danny, picking the papers up from
his desk and slipping out Of the office door
a scant minute before Peter Van Dam
himself entered.
Mr.. Van Dam was in a genial mood, quite
in contrast with the one in which he had
departed on the preceding afternoon. Emily
Ann quite approved of her employer this
morning, and responded to his cherry
greeting with a smile which Danny O'Day
would have envied him. Mr. Van Dam, she
thought, must have been a handsome man
in his younger days. His silvery hair gave
him an air Of distinction. She had never
given the personality Of her employer any
particular thought. Now she realized that
he was not very old; somewhere in the
early ~forties, perhaps.
Emily Ann took down Mr.. Van Dams
dictation automatically. Her thoughts were
anywhere but on her work. They were
roaming as ~irrespOnsibly as Danny's wild
cat flights Of imagination, ranging from
PERSIAN cats 20 Peter Van Dam himself, by

THE STORY SO FAR

This typical Irish narrative has its OPP
ening setting in a realtors office Of
which Peter Van Dan is the proprietor.
Emily Ann O'DonOghue is the assistant
and stenOgrapher. They are discussing
the Defrees property and why the madam
who wOns it will not sell. Danny ODay
enters the conversation, with the sugges-
ton that he go and see the lady in ques-
ton. Danny and Emily Ann get into a
spirited discussion Of matters general
and personal. Emily Ann and Danny
don't agree on some things but 1t is eVl-
dent h there exists between the two
a relationship much akin to love.

FLAVOR is the all-important point
in food. In oats it is probably
more important than in any other.
That is why people who once taste
the toasty richness of Quaker Oats
are spoiled thereafter for ali others.
Quaker flavor is unique, toasty and
delightful. No other oats offers Il
to you. Some 50 years were spent
~perfecting it.
Quaker milling, too, retains much
of the "bulk" Of oats. And that makes
laxatives less often needed. Protein,
carbohydrates, and vitamines and this
bulk" are thus combined to make
Quaker Oats an exceilently balanced
ration.
