| When Enid Barr returned a few
minutes later, two round spots of
color burning in her cheeks, she
found her daughter in the orphan
age matron's lap, cuddled there like
a small child, trustfully sobbing out
her grief.
Enid Barr left with her daughter
for Kansas City that night, after
wiring her husband. Courtney
Barr, who was still awaiting word
from her in Capital City. For two
days Sally and Enid shopped for a
suitable wardrobe for Sally, went to
shows together, explored the city,
and spent many hours talking.
Whenever the question of Sally's
future arose, Enid spoke only in
generalities, evading all direct ques-
tions, but about Sally's childhood
and young girlhood in the orphan
age and on the Carson farm, and
about her experiences with the car
nival, Enid was insatiably curious
and invariably sympathetic. Sally
senSed that her mother was anx-
iously awaiting Courtney Bars ar
rival before making any definite
plans, and gradually the girl grew
to dread the ordeal of meeting her
mothers husband, the man who
would become her father by adop-
ton.
And when at last he came she
knew that her troubled intuition
had been correct. However, won
derful' he had been to Enid when
she had discovered that her child
had not been born dead but was
alive somewhere in the world Sally
felt instantly that his kindness and
generosity toward Enid would not
extend to herself.
Courtney Barr was a meticulously
gromed, meticulouSly courteous man
who had, in slipping into middle
age, lost all traces of the boy and
youth he must have been. To Sal
ly's terrified eyes, this rather heavy,
ponderouS man, on whom dignity
rested like royal cloak, looked as
if he had been born old and wise
and cold. She wondered how her
exquisite, arrogant little mother
could love him so devotedly.
Almost Immediately after the
awkward introduction-"Th is our
Sally, Court!"-the three of them
had had dinner together, a silent
meal, SO far as Sally was con-
cerned. She had felt that the Enid
with whom she had talked and
laughed and wept these two days

had slipped away, leaving this So
phisticated strange woman in her
place, woman who was in nowiSe
related to her, a woman who was
merely Mrs. Courtney Barr.
They left her alone for an hour
after dinner, an hour which she
spent in her own room in writing a
long, frightened, appealing letter to
David At 9 o'clock Enid knocked
on her door and invited her to join
them in the parlor of the luxurious
suite which had been such a de
light to orphanage-bred Sally.
She found Courtney Barr seated
in a large arm chair, her mother
perched on the arm of it, one tiny
foot in a silver slipper swinging with
nervous rapidity. The man smiled
bleakly, a smile that did not reach
his cold gray eyes, as Sally took the
nearby chair that he indicated.
Mrs. Barr and I have been dis
cussing your immediate future,

"Oh, let me talk to her, Court"

will be one Of the most interesting
features on display Friday in the
annual open house of the engineer
ing and science schools of Purdue
University.
The mechanical man will put on
q continuous performance in the
electrical engineering building for
the benefit Of the visiting All club
boys and girls from over the State
and also for the hundreds Of cit
liens from throughout northern In
diana who make the open house the
occasion for a visit to the university
to see it in full swing.
Last year more than 5000 persons
passed through the shops and lab
oratories from 7 to 10 o'clock, the
hours for the open house.
Lightning to Be Made
Another feature of unusual in
terest in the electrical building will
be the high tension laboratory
where electrical demOnstratins with
as high as 10000 volts will be given.
This is one Of the two laboratories
in America where artificial light
ming can be produced.
The testing laboratory, housed in
the new civil engineering building
will be on display for the first time,
and actual tests of road and other
building material will be in prog
ress as they are done every day.
Two hydroplanes, recent gifts
from the United States Navy, have
been received and it is hoped to
have them unpacked and assembled
in time for the program. The new
metallurgical laboratory, which is
housed in the first unit of the chem
icaI engineering building, will be
open with demonstrations and stu
dent work in this important field
Of engineering.
Museum Open for Visitors
Inc university museum, housed III
the basement of Stanley Coulter
Hall, the biology building, will be
open with all its equipment on dis
play.
Special demonstrations are
planned by the school of science in
the chemistry building and with
these and many other features not
mentioned, the open house offers
the most complete an indstructive
program ever given in one evening
at the university.
The boys in industrial vocational
work in high schools of the State
also will be at Purdue Thursday
and Friday in connection with the
annual All club roundup and all
OF these students will visit the open
house as one Of the features of their
program.

were dark with pain as Sally, hurt

Sally's face bloomed again. She

them hard against her breast as she
pleaded: You see, Mother? Oh,
