THE EVENING STORY

I luck Ruth might hope to be back and
| have the shade in place before Aunt
| Marsh could discover what had hap
| pened. AS she left the house Ruth
! noticed that it was beginning to snow,
| not that she minded snow, but it was
a mile to the village store and mile
| back again, and that meant taking a
| big chunk out of her afternoon.
'If it had not been for that old
| shade" she thought, land my inn
J patience | could now be sitting curled
up by the register reading.
| Ruth thrust her hands deep into
| her pockets. At the bottom of one
was her precious dollar. She Struggled
her chin in her collar and started for
the village at her briskest gait. y
long, cold two miles it was going to
| be. she could see that. There was no.
| body on the road at that hour, so
! there was no hope of any one offering
her ride. She would have to walk,
and the snow was coming down faster
and faster.
Presently there was squall of
wind and Ruth found herself in Il
snar of binding snowfiakes. She
stumbled on, determined to get TO
the village at all hazards. The sug-
gestion came to her to go back home
but it was not her way to give up
anything she had started to do. And
had she not suffered an ignominiouS
defeat through II mere window
shade which had necessitated this
trip? She stepped to one side of the
road waiting, hoping the squall would
soon pass. She was afraid to go on
because the snow was so thick she
could not see her hand before her
DIT ,sfn
saw that she needed action to keep
solve she forged ahead and ran
straight into an object that nearly
knocked her down.
Talk about collision" a woman $

breathlessly. Il didn't see you. /
can't see anything in this snow"
'Of course you can't" the woman
replied. Neither could l see you.
Lucky for us we ran into each oth"t
and not stone wall. And certainly
| never expected to find any one cut
in this storm, leastWise a woman"
'"Then why are you out yourself?'
asked Ruth. Surely this goodnatured
woman must have an urgent errand
to have brought her out.
why" laughed the woman. II am
out walking off a fit of temper. That
is the only way | can live with myself
or other folks. l walk--and walk
and walk until l am not angry any
more. 1t is an inherited temper" she
added rather proudly.
An inherited temper! Ruth caught
her breath. Was that Burton temper
an inherited temper, too? Was the
WlndoW-shade incident the result of
that inherited temper and would it
get worse and worse until she, too
IKE this woman would have to walk
miles and miles in Il binding snow

no use in standing here and freezing.

BUYS RADIO STATION
Nav Move WTRC From Brooklyn
to Mount Vernon Heights
Site in Virginia.

The Independent Publishing Co,
publishers Of the Fellowship Forum,
which has been trying for some time
to procuse a license from the Federal
Radio Commission to erect a broad
casting station, has acquired owner
ship of WTRC, Of Brooklyn, \. Y,
formerly the property of the TWEEN
tieth A. D. Republican Club.
Under authority of a construction
permit, it is believed that the new
owners will remove this transmitter to
Washington and install 1t at their sta
ton site in Mount Vernon Heights, in
Fairfax County, Va.
The publishing company applied to
the commission for a license for a
high-powered station Of 5000 watts,

she simply must accept; that they

upon the understanding that she

figured she would have the club on a

had made good with such vengeance
that at the end of the three months

At the start of the season the club
was in debt 1915 on account of uni

remain at the height Ruth
wanted. Undoubtedly the catch
was weak, and each time she
released it, it flew upward
with a startling snap. Ruth fought
with it impatiently. The proper thing
to do. of course, would have been to
climb on chair, take the window
shade down and see what was wrong
with it. But Ruth had no patience
lust then with refractory catches. She
gave the shade q final, eXaSperated
Jerk and it flew off the roller, split
ting it's whole length and landing a
wreck on the floor at Ruth's feet.
Ruth looked down at it in dismay.
1t was a new shade. one that she had
hung but a short time before. And 1t
was expensive of it's kind. Ruth
bought only the best. although some
times she had to wait in order to do
so. The new shades and curtains in
this room had required some saving
and planning, and now here was one
of them utterly destroyed.
"What a horrid thing to happen"
Ruth thought. She could fairly hear
Aunt Marsh, with whom she lived,
say: "If you would only take little
more time, dear, you would not meet
with such mishaps so often. You
know you have the Burton temper
and you should learn to control 1t.

was of this everlasting reference to
the Burton temper. Did she have it,
after all?
picking up the shade she thrust it
out of sight in the closet and closed
the door. She would get another one
and put it up herself; she would buy
it out of her allowance. 1t would take
a whole dollar, but she would do 1t be-
cause there had to be shade for that
window.
From the bureau drawer she took
the crisp bill into which she had
changed four quarters--her personal
allowance from the budget was only a
quarter Il week--Which she had been
saving to purchase an especially at
tractive bit of cut glass for her hope
chest. Somehow the sight Of the bill,
which had entailed some Sacrlflce,
aroused in her curious dIspleasure
