by foreman actively employed on the

The floor where the accident occurred
was described as typical OF the other

lead TO the accident. no evidence was
produced to indicate that any negii-

policemen or policewomen may take
children into custody, but that II they
are TO be detained for any length OF
time they should not be kept under the
control of police.
Senator Curtis said he was In charge
OF the appropriation bin number OF

other again. II would be better
not to. Because. since she had been
granted stolen glimpses Of him. she
realized how impossible 1t would be
to stop loving him unless she could
put him out Of her life altogether.
Her opinion Of him might gov.
ern her attitude toward him. but It
could not govern her heart. She
knew that. She loved him in spite
OF everything. But they couldn't be
happy, with Rods infatuation for
Lila between them. But why think
about It even? Probably Rod would
never want to sec her again either.
and not because he loved her too
much. as she did him.
Berthe Lou went home in a con.
fused state Of mind. But one thing
gradually became clear TO her. She
wanted to help Rod. To see him
on his feet again. She could do
that by giving him the house. Then
he could sell it or rent It. She won.
dered II she could do 1t without his
knowledge. She would find out.
And wouldn't It be-well. say
nice. II they could part as friends?
Make a sort Of event OF It. Have
little celebration, maybe. OF some
kind. They might laugh about 1t
afterwards-Rod might, but she
would like to remember 1t. Shed
like to see him become enthused.
to help him feel some OF his old
ambition, and hear him say he
would start over again. Give up
skulking.
The thought intrigued her. She
was very anxious to go right out
to Moonfields and see Rod. but she
was held back by her wish for some
ceremony in connection with the &C.
casion. II she went out to the
cottage with nothing to propose
but a talk. and then goodby. Rod
might 90 without feeling the way
she wanted him to.
CHE was sure ne needed someone
- to help him. to put him on the
right track. II he wouldn't let her
do It now he might 60 on for .
long time before he cast OF Lila's
evil spell.
Should she tell him that Lila had
jeered at him? She would II she
thought It would do him any good.
Very likely he wouldn't believe her.
She mustn't make the mistake Of
Understanding Lila. Common
sense told her that Rod couldn't
have wanted to fall In love with
Lila again. She must have exertcd
some irresistible power over him.
III tell him anything like that
he might think I'm lying In order
to get him back again." BERTHE Lou
told herself. It angered her to
think that Lila still played such an
important part IN her life.
"It's nothing to her but an affair
that didn't come out the way she
wanted It tot" BERTHE Lou was
moved to declare aloud - she flung
her hat on tho bed int her room
after slamming the door behind her.
But her part In It IL going to
spoil the last time Ill be with Rod.
I won't dare say what ! think"
She was calmer when Bessie
came home. though she had been
too much, upset to. think OF going
to work. And she had . plan for
her meeting with Rod. She would
make It one that be could not for.

that Rod had been IN love with
