CHAPTER XVII

Grandmother Gage was so sorry
Nancy had been disappointed in her
fiance. But she had felt all the time
that Nancy was too young to make
such q "momentous decision" Girls
didn't marry until they were older
nowadays.
She wished she was financially
able to have her namesake live with
her. But it wouldn't be fair to the
other grandchildren. And she
hadn't been we'll this last year. They
were doing very little entertaining. "
AS for going to San Francisco, she
did not approve of it. Perhaps she
was fashioned, but she couldn't
bear to think of girl as young and
inexperienced as Nancy alone in a
large city.
She would advise her keeping up
her music at home, reading, and
sewing.
These things wrote Grand
mother Gage, in her delicate hand,
Should be enough for you, dear.
Happiness is a state of mind. Try
to meet your trouble bfavely, and it
will pass"
She enclosed c. check for $50, to
be used for new books or music. 1t

How unfeeling older people were.
They thought the tragedies of youth
we're trivial little hurts which could
be kissed away. In effect, Grand
mother Gage had said, I'm sorry,
darling. Take this and run away.
You'll be all right"

known she would. Oh, if only she
could have been brave enough.
But that was impossible. 1t was
cruel of him to expect it.
She wondered what Eric was do

Nancy was sure he must have
gone to see another girl. 1t wasn't
fair. He could get away, could for
get her if only for few hours,
while she was left to face situation
which grew worse daily.
When Nancy could endure it no
longer she concocted plan. Moth

condition more clearly.
With no outlet for either mental
or physical energies, she had BROOD

She gripped his hand, crying, "Oh,

anything to do with my still caring.

please, Nancy, let's not go into
that"
"But I must. I'm so lonely with

She clasped his arm, feverishly.

do you mean like this?" he asked,
carefully.
Eyes! Oh, Eric. I have to see you"
He seized her shoulders, and even
in the darkness she could see that
his face was white with anger.
"You poor little snob! You'd
meet me in the dark, would you?
Let me kiss you and make love SO
long as no one knew. !"
Don't put it like that"
"How else can I put it? But !
won't do it, Nancy. You'll love me
openly, or you won't love me at all.

all sections are covered, is trimmed
off about lie inch from the frame,
and the protruding edge turned

SHUMAKER PLEA
Declares Dry Chief Had
Sinister Purpose

That Superintendent E. S. Shu-
maker Of the Indiana Anti-Saloon
League published his falsehoods fol
sinister purpose with utmost free
dom" and therefore abused the con-
stitutional guarantees of freedom OF
speech and press and is sentenced
Justly, is the contention of Attorney
General Arthur l.. Gilliom set forth
in objections to Shumaker's motion
in arrest of Judgment.
Objections were filed by Gilliom
with the Supreme Court clerk today.
Motion in arrest of judgment in the
Shumaker case and for new trial
for Jesse E. Martin, league trustee,
we're filed late Tuesday by Attorney
James Bingham Sr.
Shumaker is under $1,000 bond
and will appear before the court

new trial will be made should the
court override the arrest Of judg-
menc.
Gilliom again points out in his
objections that twenty-one cases
were pending when Shumaker pub
lished his contemptuous report de-
signed to intimj date the judges. The
publication for which Shumaker
was sentenced was the annual
league report for 1925 and appeared
in The American issue, national

pending cases in originally asking
the court to hold the dry chief for
contempt.

IL. MAKING THE ELEVATOR
The elevator frame is constructed
entirely Of bamboo. This wood
should be split to approximate size,
and then may be planed to exact
dimensions. In the construction of
other parts of the model we have
used bamboo in short lengths, but
for the elevator we will require
longer pieces, which will require
careful handling to produce best re-
suits, therefore a few words on
bamboo itself will be useful.
This useful wood has the prop
critics of lightness and strength. 1t
is tropical wood and is not gen.
orally sold at lumber yards, but the
model constructor will probably be
able to obtain some either from a
fishing pole; a rug pole, of which
your local merchant no doubt has
several; from a discarded piece of
furniture containing bamboo rungs,
or from a porch screen, as these are
usually made with bamboo Stats.
OF course, model airplane dealers
sell 1t. 1t can easily be split, but
you must be careful in doing so, as
it opens up rapidly when once
started and you may cut yourself.
The best wood for our purpose is
split off not by holding the knife
across the diameter of the wood,
but rather in the manner one would
use to trim the bark from a tree.
In this manner wide pieces of even
texture can be obtained, and these
bend easier than those obtained
by cutting Numerically. 1t will be
observed that bamboo has humps
or nodes every foot or so. These
need not interfere in the procuring
OF a long, straight piece as they
can be trimmed fiat with a finely
set plane.
To make the frame, two pieces
OF bamboo lie inch square and 10
inches long are required. One is
used for each edge of the outline.
The bamboo can be easily bent to
the desired shapes shown in the
perspective drawing by holding the
part to be curved above a flame,
and as the part is heated it becomes
pliable and can be shaped. Care
must be taken not to burn the
wood, and not to get the curve too
much in one place, as this may
make weak spot liable to break.
The rear piece is formed with a fiat
section for three inches in the CEN
ter from which the ends are bent
upward at slight angle and curved
at the tips, forming cur shape IA
inches long. The front edge has no
fiat section, but bends upward from
the middle at an angle slightly
greater than that in the rear edge.
1t Is similarly rounded ct the tips.
These two edges are low brought
together with a lap Joint at the
ends, with the edges 3ls inches
apart. The lap joints should be
about u inch long, and excess ma
terial beyond this point should be
trimmed off. The intersection of
each OF the ends should be slightly
recessed to reduce the size of the
joint. The ends are fastened with
ambroid and bound with thread.
The ribs are next made. Five are
required. To form them take a slat
OF bamboo % niche wide, lie inch
thick and 31a inches long. BY hold
ing this above a flame until it is
hot 1t can be bent to the shape
shown in the drawing. From this
the five ribs are split, thus making
them identical. If necessary, the
