sitting room.
The dinner was finished in an
air of subdued excitement. BERTHE
Lou could hardly sit still in her
chair. But Rod, she knew, was un-
decided.
She could see doubt in his face.
She felt a little like shaking him.
Couldn't he see what a wonderful
opportunity Tom was offering h1nP
Lila sat in silence. The food tast-
ed of ashes. Shed never been quite
so sorry before that she'd turned
Rod down.
New York! Her father fatty re-
fused to support her if she went to
the city.
And Lila preferred not to toll. But
some day she'd meet a man a
travelling salesman probably, who
would take her away to the land of
skyscrapers.
1t was a little CALLING, though, to
have the one man she'd least ex-
pected to make the grade getting
there ahead of her, and taking an
other girl with him.
But then, on second thought, what
would Rod amount to in New York?
Tom couldn't have so much to offer
him. Lila perked up.
Let him go. And she'd come along
later with her moneybags, whoever
he might be, and show them she
hadn't been left at the post.
She was unusually gay the rest
of the evening. Which puzzled
BERTHE Lou, who was not accustomed
to exaggerated flights of fancy.
Molly spread out her f1nery on
the bed, and while her guests ex-
claimed over it and admired her
taste until she was perfectly sat-
isf1ed Tom went into the details of
his offer to Rod. Mr.. Stiles had ex-
cused himself.
The salary was, of course, better
than he was receiving at present.
Rod was impressed by it.
There was some small doubt of his
ability to take over. the duties OF
accountant in Fraser's firm, but
Tom thought he could work into 1t

tell her once ="

she couldn't help it, Ma. That's
one reason why we'll be better off
out of Wayville. We know half
the people in this burg. We thought
we could settle down and live our
lives as we choose, but we found
that our bunch still expected us to
be among those present when any
thing was doing. BERTHE LOUIS beer

her to cut out the entertaining.
We'll, you haven't been married
very long. All that might have
changed. But BERTHE Lou had her
heart set on going to the city, I
guess"
Rod looked at his watch. Time
to go over and get her. All right
to take the carp"
He found BERTHE Lou ready to
come back with him and say good
by to his parents. Then they
returned to the Wards for their suit
cases before going to the station.
The same crowd that saw them
off on their honeymoon was at the
old wooden station to speed them on
this trip.
BERTHE Lou felt glow of pride
in her popularity. 1t outweighed
the depressing effect of Lila's pres
ence and she found herself able to

"H'm, in Wayville? Well, suppose

want to do, won't you be better of

Anyway it's fine of you to make

preciate it, Tom. Let me think 1t
over a while, will you?"

to give me your answer before I
leave. The man in the job now

Rod was over at his mothers,

was opposed to his going away and
Rod knew she blamed BERTHE Lou

talk her out of that.

would not do.

WHEAT UPTURN
HOLDS THROUGH
ENTIRE SESSION
Oats Maintains Strength;
Corn Falls Before
Profit Taking.
RUUBifcd Press

RU United Press
CHICAGO, May 1s.-An early
bulge in wheat held throughout the
day on the Board of Trade in spite
of heavy profit-taking which de-
veloped toward the close. Corn,
which followed wheat in early trad
ing, fell before the prof1t-taking at
tack, but oats held up with wheat.
AT the close wheat was up IL to
"a cents; corn was off 81 cent, and
oats was Il to p cent higher. Pro-
visions closed slightly lower.
Wheat advanced early on stronger
Liverpool quotations and export
takings of between two and three
million bushels, mostly Manitoba
and Durum. Profit-taking developed
on the bulge and much of the ad-
vance was lost late in the day.
Trading was spasmodic. Ample
rains over the entire belt we're re-
ported.
Corn showed a firm tone early
with wheat, but the development OF
profittaking the advance was lost.
Oats gained fractionally at the
opening, but later followed wheat s
decline.

Shift Mail Schedule

Letters calling to attention of
pcstmasters ofIother Indiana cities
the later air mail schedule we're be-
ing prepared by Postmaster Robert
H. BrEson today.
The change in schedule, whereby
the Chicago-bound plane leaves In
dianapolis at Sis p. m. instead OF I
p. m. not only will benefit Indian
apolis firms with a later mailing
hour 4:30 p. m instead of 3 p. m,
but will also benefit business houses
in other cities.
Bryson pointed out a number of
cities can send air mail to Indian
apolis on afternoon trains which
formerly arrived too late to catch
the mail plane.
The later schedule is expected
materially to increase the poundage
of air mail out of Indianapolis.
The new schedule still makes con-
nections with the east bound and
west-bould tranScontinental routes
at Chicago.

on the route of this years tour in
which approximately forty planes
will compete for the Edsel B. Ford

Cooper will land at the Indian

race driver, his brother.
1t is probable that Cooper will
remain at the Speedway few
hours to confer with Williams and
Brooks in regard to the local stop
and inspect the Marmon Special
racing cars which Earl Cooper is
preparing for the forthcoming 500

Early in the afternoon Cooper anc

cities on the route of the tour
Brooks probably will accompany
them to st. Louis.
Last year indianapolis was not

eastern part of the country. Among
the cities on this years itinerary
are Tulsa, Okla; San Antonio

ing the local stop as a means OF
stimulating interest in the advances
made in aircraft design and use in
