Unobserved, Tony Tarver stood
in the doorway of the living room
and gazed long and earnestly upon
Richard Warringtonu Talbot, who,
the night before, had asked her to
marry him. She had looked at
Dick Talbot a good many times be-
fore, for he was a joy to look upon.
But then he had been just q
handsome boy who, it was thrilling
to speculate, might very well be
falling in love with her. Now it
was upon the man who, unless she
quickly stemmed the rush of events,
might very quickly become her hus-
band.
Husband" Tony though, and a
culver of fear ran through her
straight, slim young body. Funny
word, funny relationship. Husband
and wife. I'm scared. Don't like to
be scared"
And then she grinned, for she
realized that she was thinking the
way Sandy Ross talked-with tele-
graphic brevity.
The young man, unconscious that
he was being studied, was sunk deep
in a big armchair drawn up to a
bookcase. But his mouth-full-
Tipped, as beautifully shaped as a
girl'S-was dropping petulantly, like
spoiled child's.
Cant do It'll" Tony decided, from
the safe vantage point of the door
way. Gosh, how he'd sulk if ever
tried to get my own way in any
thing.
"And that would mean he'd be
sulking pretty nearly all the time.
Hello, Dick!" she called aloud, in
a not too cordial voice.
Dick Talbot sprang to his feet,
dropping the book as ruthlessly as
if it had given no pleasure at all.
Tony braced herself against the
door jamb as he strobe toward her.
Her beautiful head was thrown
back, as if in defiance, and her face
was quite white by the time he
reached her.
Where the devil have you been,
Tony?" Dick demanded angrily, and,
as she had suspected, his dark eyes
were smouldering fires of jealousy.
What is it to your" she retorted,
lifting her hands to ward him off as
he was. about to size her roughly
in his arms. II didn't have a date
with you today, and-I don't like
your tone"
Dick was weaker than Tony. His
anger melted. Sorry, Tony. ]
apologize. But, Lord, you don't
know what I've been through to-
day! I told Mother and Dad that
we were engaged and then I came
over here to tell you what they said
and found you'd simply disappeared
"Of course thought you were of
with some other fellow and I've
been wild"
IT was" Tony interrupted non
chalantly. But in her heart She
was praying. ooh, please don't let
him touch me now or I'll weaken
Pleased Why does he have to be Sc
heartbreakingly handSome?"
What? You were with another
MANI" Dick Talbot clenched his
hands; vein on his forehead
swelled suddenly and throbbed with
angry blood
: "The very day after we became

tie Lou was at the station.
what did he say?" she queriec
excitedly when Bessie came trUdg-
ing along just a few minutes ahead
or their train. Doesn't he think
five dollars is too little2"
She was sorry she couldn't afford
to pay him more. But even as it
was she couldn't continue long to
keep him in her employ.
There would be no rent to help
meet the payment on the house,
and her own salary was not suf1-
cient for anything but her own ex-
penses and the five dollars she was
paying Rod.
Much of the $500 she had re-
served out of the $2,000-it wasn't
quite $4,000 that had come from
Rod but she had saved a little of
her salary before she fell ill-was
gone. She could carry on for about
two months and then she must
either rent or sell.
And in the meantime.
Well, it was thrilling to know
that Rod was living under their
very own roof. Yes, theirs, for she
had decided he should be part
owner.
For convenience she would keep
the title in her own name but she
always would consider that Rod
shared in its ownership. And if she
sold the house she would send his
half to him in care of his father.
The other half was legitimateIy
hers. She would not use it unless
necessity compelled her, but after
all, even if it was the price of
Rods desertion Of her, was she
not entitled to half of the money
that had been saved through stint
in which she had borne an equal
part.
Whatever it was that she hoped
for from Rods presence in her
house failed to materialize. however
She couldn't bring herself to go to
him.
weeks went by, and she was fac
ing the necessity of having Bessie
tell him he would have to go when
Bessie returned from visit to the
cottage with the report that the
caretaker had entertained a lady
friend.
Il asked him if he had hired a
woman to come in and clean house
for him." she told BERTHE Lou, "just
to make sure I didn't get him
wrong. He said no, he'd done the
housekeeping himself. Then I sort
of pumped him to see if he would
open up and admit that some one
had been there. He told me he
hadn't any family in the East but
that's about all I could get out of
him. Say, BERTHE Lou, is this guy
straight?"
BERTHE Lou looked at her, speech
less with the misery that welled
into her throat. OF course, Rod
didn't know that it was their house,
their little house of dreams.
He was at liberty to have callers

to that. One thing she was not 60
ing to do was play sychopant to
Molly Fraser just because her hus-
band had given Rod a good posi-
ton.
Refraining from further COM
ment on Lila's taste was as far as
she would go in consideration Of
Rods best interests.
Shall we take a taxi to your
shop?" she asked when they
reached the sidewalk. Shed heard
that half New York rides in cabs
and she wanted to do right by
Molly" as she put it herself.
"It's just round the corner"
Molly informed her a trifle acidly.
I'll be glad to get a warmer
coat" BERTHE Lou remarked, shiv-
ering a little in a wind that
danced bits of paper along the
street. Il left my winter coat in
Wayville 1t was an old one any
way"
"You may not find anything
quiet enough for your taste at
Madam Lamore's,' Molly dug at
her. "Her things are very modlsh
and snappy."
"Just so they aren't loud" Ber-
tie Lou replied hopefully.
Fortunately they arrived at Mad
am Lamore's shop in a few minutes
or BERTHE Lou might seriously have
jeopardized Rods future with Tom
Frazers firm. Molly was almost
ready to explode.
Molly introduced her to Madam
Lahore with request to show her
the sort of thing you sell to small
town customers, if you have any,"
Madam ran an appraising eye over
BERTHE LOUIS figure.
But zis young lady is nevair
from re small town." she said, her
head on one side and her eyes alight
with admiration of the attractive
girl before her.
"You see," BERTHE Lou laughed,
turning to Molly. I've got chick"
Molly said seriously: You mean
chic don't you?" She hadn't the
slightest idea that BERTHE Lou had
beer getting even with her by pre-
tending to very lack of smartness
Molly hed sought to attribute to
hec. BERTHE Lou smiled.
Molly was too thick to have any
fun with. She was being kind,
though, giving her time this way.
BERTHE Lou felt little contrite.
"Oh, I do want something attrac-
tive" she said to Madam. And
certainly not small town. Show
me what you think Mrs. Fraser
would like"
What Mrs. Fraser would like
turned out to be a great surprise
to BERTHE Lou. In the matter of
price.
Does everything cost like this in
New York;" she whispered to Molly
when Madam's back was turned.
"oh, of course, if you want some
thing cheap :"
tits the first time I've bought
anything with Rods money" Ber-
tie Lou put in hastily. "Natur-
ally I didn't mind what things cost
before was married, but you
know what Rods salary is" she
laughed, as though sos week had
not seemed like a munificent sum
to her before this shopping began.

COOLIDGES KEEP
CLOSE TO HOME
ON wet SUNDAY
Brave Rain in. Morning to
Hear Sermon by
Blind Pastor.
BY ROBERT MOOREFIELD
Unitsd. Press STAFF Correspondent

CEDAR ISLAND LODGE, Wis
July 9.-His fourth visit to the little
frame church at Brule was the oc-
casion of President Coolidge's only
appearance outside of the lodge
Sunday. Rain and mist kept the
presidential family inside after the
return from church in the morning.
The President, Mrs. Coolidge and
their son John, heard the blind I'M

Reports that the President IS
contemplating a trip to Yellow
stone Park we're denied by men,
bers of his staff today.
Following a week of beautiful
weather, rains have again set in.
The temperature was 66 in Superior
but it was much warmer at the
summer White House.
1t was reported that former
Senator William M. Butler, MaSsa-
chusetts, might be named Secretary
Of Commerce, to succeed Secretary
Herbert Hoover, but there was no
confirmation of the report.

had always dressed well. Most OF
her salary as stenographer went for
clothes.
It was not her fault if Molly
thinking in the terms of a New
York wardrobe, understood her to
mean she'd had a great deal of
money to spend.
Again Molly told herself that
BERTHE Louis parents must nave
money. But she wondered why no
one ever had mentioned the fact
to her. She decided to be frank.
"You can pay anything you want
to for clothes in New York, but if
you're used to smart things you
won't pay less anywhere else than
here" she explained. tom isn't
exactly a millionaire" she added,
explanatory. IT don't patronize
the most expensive shops"
BERTHE Lou thought perhaps she
couldn't do better. And she did
need warmer coat to go apart
ment hunting.
Molly was a little disappointed
because she bought the brown check
camels hair instead of the coat
with the red and black striped hor-
der. Next she bought a beige Vaga-
bond felt that pleased the salesgirl
too sell and grieved Molly, who pre-
ferred the tight hat with the ear
feathers.
Now let's go out and find an
apartment, quick" BERTHE Lou said,
when they we're on the street again.
II want to get settled so I can ex-
plore New York at my leisure"
ut will take weeks before you
get your furniture" Mollie remind
ed her.

after we send for it. And we need

get those and sort of camp out I'M

Have you decided what you want
to pay for an apartment"
Why, we thought BERTHE
Lou was about to say $50 a month,
but what she'd learned already Of
prices in New York stopped her.
What do you think we ought to
pay?" she asked.
well, if you want to live nicely,
and assume you do, you must pay
at the very least 500 a month. Tom
and pay SITS"
BERTHE Lou all but exclaimed
aloud. Why, that much money would
buy a house in Wayville, with a
barn thrown in. Before she found
place she would live in she knew
that New York and Wayville had
nothing in common in the matter
of living conditions.
Rod was aghast because, finally,
she took three rooms at $85. More

household allowance. And you won't

INDIANA PAYS
THOUSANDS IN
! IMPORT TAXES
Close to 100000 Taken
in During Year by Two
Customs Officers.

Two-tllirds of a million dollars in
customs were paid by Indianians OH
imports in the last twelve months,
the annual report compiled in the
Office of collector of customs here
discloses.
The exact amount, $3.50, O47. 76.
was collected at the two ports of
entry in the State-Indianapolis
and Evansville-and is not far short
OF the record collections of 1924.
1891, 93779.
Imports in indianapolis are hold
ing their own, but are falling off
somewhat at Evansville" said
George M. Poland, collector of Gus
toms. Here collections amounted
to $36O,49652 and at Evansville
s2so.S51 "a
Many Products Imported
Imports at Evansville are to-
bacco almost exclusively. The H.
Fendrick Tobacco Company there
imports large quantities of tobacco
from Sumatra, Dutch East Indies and
Cuba, the customs being paid as
quantities of the tobacco are with
drawn from the Government ware
house
Drugs form an important item of
import here, however. Contributing
lesser amounts are chinaware,
dresses and silks for the larger de-
partment stores, mahogany and
satinwood, beans from Canada, al
nlonds and English walnuts. AL
ready toys are coming in for the
Christmas trade from the toy shops
of Germany, France, Italy and
Gzechoslavakia."
Imports consigned to Indianans
in the vicinity of Indianapolis come
in all manner of cases, bales and
boxes to the customs warehouse In
the Federal building. Attached is
the invoice. Inspectors check the
contents of every shipment before
finally setting the amount of duty
TO be collected.
Sometimes Refused
Occasionally consignees refuse
acceptance because the duty proves
surprisingly high. These refused
shipments then are listed carefully
and at intervals auctioned of, duty
free, to the highest bidder.
The cost of collecting $3.50, 047.76 |
in customs in the twelve months
ended June 30, was 21,125.93, or
about four and third cents for
each dollar collected, the annual re-
port showed.

LEGION TO Get

AT CONVENTION
Rodeo, Air Circus, FoIIies,
Prize Fight and Sham
Battle on Program.

ED Times Special
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Oct. s.
One of the greatest programs of en-
tertainment ever planned for any
convention will be staged for mem
berS of the American Legion, who
will open their tenth national con-
vention here Oct. 8. Texas Legion
4.aireS are joining hands with the
citizens of the State generally in
plans to give a great welcome to the
convention guests. Governor Dan
Moody, himself a Legionnaire, is
setting the pace for the rest of the
commonwealth.
Probably the most attrac''Te en-
tertainment feature will be the
worlds championship rodeo. The
greatest cowboys and cowgirls who
swing a lariat or bulldog" steer,
or rope a calf, will enter the arena
at Texas League park. The famous
cowboy band of Simmons University

vention. This will be staged at Kelley

itary and commercial planes will be
made besides the airplane races and.
stunts.
Picked troops of the second divi-
sion will stage miniature repro
duction of night battle in France
the first day of the convention,
Monday. This will be one of the
most colorful spectacles of the con-
vention. Doughboys will go over the
top, while tanks waddle across
barbed wire entanglements and air
planes dart overhead.
The roar of cannon, explosion of
high-powered shells and the rata
tat-tat of machine guns will give the
battle realistic effect Bursting
bombs and flare will light the field.
Prize Fight on Program

August, leading welterweight con-
tenders, will be featured in the main
go of a decision prize fight at Fort
Sam Houston stadium Tuesday
