in order to cast his vote, as usual, to
keep continuous his record of never
failing to reach the ballot box.
Law Has Been Changed.
The trip to Indiana this year was
necessary for Mr.. Smith and his fellow
HooSiers in Washington because of the
fact that the State Legislature repealed
since the last election the absent voters
ballot law, by which in previous elec-
tions HooSiers here had been able to
cast their votes by mail

He had started up the stairs.
He was painting and lurching
from step to step and cursing
under his breath, thickly.
Linda whirled about. There
was no way OF escape. The
descending flight was blocked by
his approach. Above, the stairs
circled into shadow, ending be-

nkylight. They offered no hope.

Linda was caught between his
broad shoulders and the wall. His
wet 1fps fastened and chung upon
her neck. His hands, funbling
around her waist, caught the
folds Of the fur coat and flung
ii back. He drew her face against
his mouth and held It.
For the second time the flash
light fell with loud report and
rolled away. Under the smother
of his kisses, Linda was beaten
and wIencl4ed by waves of sick
disgust. He crushed her closer,
blotted out air and sight by his
hot face.

from the room into the dim
hall. Nancy felt he was
going to come to her, start petting
her, that he would want to kiss
her again.
Is my little Nancy girl getting
tired?" he asked.
His voice took on soothing
tone. One would think he was
talking to a two-year-old baby. He
leaned over and touched his lips
to her cheek. She made no re-
sistance. She couldn't. She was
too weary.
In another minute Ginger came
bounding up the stairs. a dish OF
cracked ice in one hand and
bottle of ginger ale in the other.
And in another minute the drinks
were mixed and a tall. cool. clink-
ing glass was pressed into Nancy's
hand.
Here's bottoms up" Vic said.
He, Ginger and Jerry lifted their
glasses to their lips. Nancy made
an attempt at 1t but lowered the
glass without even wetting her
lips. OF course the others noticed
and in one voice, almost. they
said:
Hey, what are you trying to do,
renege on us?''
Nancy didn't answer but raised
the glass and took a long gulp

Though the liquor hardly more
than wet her lips each time, her

When he came back he seemed

eyes to the doorway and had to,
look twice before she could believe

There, standing above the
A~ - AIanA lad
down to the dance floor, was
Howard Wescott, and on his arm
hung one of the most beautiful
women Nancy had ever seen.
They were waiting while another
table was crowded into another
impossibly small space.
Nancy prayed that Vic Flenl-

the doorway. She started to talk,
to chatter. she knew not what,
to distract his attention.

spoke close to her ear. His
voice was husky.
She leaned against him a little
closer, hoping that he would
bury his face in her hair and
? that he wauldn't see Howard
Wescott. Her efforts were sue
cessful until the music stopped
and the crowded, noisy couples
started hurrylng for their tables.
