Bobbie looked at the slant

thoughtfully. 1t told her a good
many things-that letter. She
knew that Gertrude" must be
the wife who had just divorced
Angus, and that "Angie" must
be his little daughter.

Mrs. M. Bobbie wondered if she
were widow or grass widow.
1t was half past seven now.
Surely Mr.. and Mrs. Mangan had
come home by this time for a late
supper. They never ate away
from the house. It was too ex-
pensive. they said.
CHAPTER XIX
The Mangans were at home by
the time Bobbie reached the house
on Las Palmas Street.
They were in the kitchen get
ting supper. and the tantalizing
odor of toasted cheese floated up
the stairway to her. They always
had toasted cheese for Sunday
night supper. and they always
had it in the warm coy kitchen.
She could hear the fall and
rise of their voices and now and
then Mrs. Mangan's high nervous
laugh, as she sat alone by her
window looking into the moon
lit night.
Across the street there were

near at hand came a burst of
radio music
Bobbie listened. The music
was familiar, and Bobbie knew
the words. Andy, who, like most
men, thought himself quite a
singer. had sung them to her
dozens Of times:
Dear, how / miss you tonight,
Miss you while lights are low.

"Or miss me, either"
1t came to her that she missed
Andy, and missed him terribly.
Bitter Sweet Memories
Perhaps the fact that it was
Sunday night brought the fact
home to her more painfully than
ever before. For she had always
spent Sunday evenings with him,
glad to escape from home where
Aunt Gertrude sang. mournful
hymns in an "off'' KEY and
scolded between times because
Mr.. Ransom was down to that
silly widow woman's for supper"

He then takes his weakness
out and proceeds to parade it. be-

sight any time he likes.
But weaknesses have a way of
embarrassing those who fancy
them. They have a way of rear

still felt the urge to outline her

MRS. WISE has left home.
AVA No, she did not leave her
husband, for she has been
widow for ten years. Neither did
she leave her little children, for
she has none. The person she
left is her grown son, and the
reason she left him is that she
realized that she was hampering
his development.
1t is the nature of Mrs. Wise to
dominate and to take over the
burdens and responsibilities of
those around her. She is naturally
that sort of woman, and the fact
that she has had to be the bread.

keeper for her little family made
her more so.
After her daughter married two
years ago she had no one left to
serve and to dominate but her
son, who was trying to establish
himself in the business world.
The young man has most of the
qualifications that other young
business men possess. But he has
never had a chance to be himself.
1t was his mother who suggested
every move. She it was who told
him what to say and what to do
under certain conditions. When
his efforts resulted in failure it
was she who explained why he
had failed, and it was she who
wrote the checks that made up
for his failure.
But for all of her determination
to bear his burdens, take over his
griefs and disappointments, pro.
vide his comforts and force her
opinions and decisions upon the
boy, he managed to cling to his
own personality.

START WORK OF
BUILDING FIVE
COUNTY SPANS

Work on the construction of the
Greenbush draw bridge, one of five
bridges in the county either partially
or wholly destroyed in a rain storm
last fall will begin this week under
the direction of Contractor S. r. Clark,
according to Information received here.
Construction of the Bisbee wash
bridge was started ten days ago. The
crew has started pouring cement for
the abutments to this bridge. The
contractor will begin the Greenbush
draw bridge, which is near the Fike
ranch, as soon as work on the other is
completed.
A dangerous place in the road system
of the county will be. eliminated with
the construction of the Greenbush
draw bridge. Right of way permits
have been obtained so that the bridge
can he set in a direct line with the
road. The bridge washed out last fall
was set at an angle to the road, result
ing in sharp curve
Both the Greenbush draw and Bisbee
wash bridges are to be steel structures
and as soon as the work of preparing
for the laying of the steel spans has
been completed work will start on the
Naco highway bridge, to be a concrete
structure
With sgd Smith, county engineer,
and his county road crews assisting in
ths work, the construction of the
bridges will be rushed to completion
as rapidly as possible so that the struc-
lures will be finished before the early
summer rains begin, Smith is exerting
every effort and devoting his full time
to the bridge rebuilding program in
the county and is visiting the various
sites several times a week to assist in
the work.
A small group of county road en-
ployes is working on the approach to
the Palominas bridge under the driec-
tion of B. Williams foreman A crew
of county road employees is also en-
gagged in preparing the approach to the

is to be erected by Ware and company,
