The Washington times., 1929-09-21

Every year poor Mr.. Macy
had slipped into debt a little
more deeply.
Every year the old brown
house had lost a few more
Of its shingles. Every year
there had been a few more
darned places in the old
fashioned lace curtains, a
few more worn spots in the
"body Brussels" carpets, a
few more cracks and chips
in the china dishes.
But still the Macy's had
held up their heads, as
they called it. They had
kept what Uncle Handy re-
ferred to as their "stinking
pride
Jeanie and Alice had
never even dreamed OF go
ing to work and earning q.
little money.
They had never thought
OF taking over the house
work and letting Mrs. Leezy
find another job as some
body else's housekeeper.
Ann Marie alone had
swallowed her, pride and
gone out, walking from
house to house in the town,
to look for work.
And now the time had
come when she was going
to pay for what she had
done.
It was the first week in
April, and still Mrs. Lawler
had not given the engage
ment dinner that she had
promised to give to Alice
and Johnny.
But on the second morn
ing in April the postman
dropped three large, dull
white envelopes into the
Macy's mail box.
Ann Marie, coming in
from her fathers store at
lunch time, saw them and
fished them out. The mail
box key had been lost for
months and the family al
ways had to fish in the box
for their letters.
Here are some invita-
tions for you three" she
said, carrying the three en-

"How long'll that take

reached for the bottle.
McNaught was silent.
The readiness of his exc
cutioner-to-be made him
chill. He felt a cold sweat
covering his body.

nervously. "I1l see you

his billfold.

"Slug" two more $50 bills.
An dom fergit the other
five hundred!"
II won't. Right here. "
McNaught again pointed to
his pocket.
Mcknight worked on with
a nervousness born of des-
peratiOn. He knew it was
futile to try to raise money.
He had long ago exhausted
every source. He had dis
missed his office force. He
fumbled about the type
writer, wishing he had kept
one stenOgrapher. Miss
Hardy, who used to catch
corner his letters with a
RRM-h. He finished typing
one letter and to make it ap-
pear dictated put the RRM-h
in a corner. And he signed
Robert R. McNaught with a
nervous flourish.
He TAXED uptown for din
ner, ordered a big meal and
ate sparingly. Somehow his
appetite failed. How was it
that the condemned man ate
a hearty meal! That must
be just talk. He was con-
scious that he wasn't play
ing his role of the con-
demned up to tradition.
At midnight he had fin
ished the bottle anl fslt its

gulped down another drink
and went to the door. He
left it open and wandered
down the hall.

Naught t hought. "Not

He arose as Mellino re-
entered.
"Give me the other five
yards and I'll do it now," he
demanded. II can make a
getaway here all right"
Mcknight paled.
'No, not yet. I've got a
lot of things to do. / want
to clean up some minor de-
tails, so that there won't be
any doubt of the insurance

you against some willow
trees out past the Country
Club-and Howdy is going
to take your picture. +"
Stella's face fell. "Oh, is
that ALT" she asked. "I
thought you had something
worth while up your sleeve"
But when Howdy came
home, he was as full Of en-
thusiasm as Ann Marie, had
been.
THAT grand is ours al
ready" he said firmly. "It
doesn't matter whether l get
my lights and shadows all
right now-the kids face
would win any prize !"
He had taken to calling
Stella "the kid" of late. But
he still looked at her as if
he were looking at an angel.
He took 12 pictures of
her that afternoon when
Ann Marie. had posed her,
sitting on an old snake
fence under a clump of will
low trees.
Ann Marie made her take
off her hat, and the sun
made a shining crown of
her wonderful hair and laid
a shadow in the dimples in
her cheek, deepening them.
Stella had wonderful dim

Stella promised the next

velopes into the dining room
where Alice and Jeanie and
Stella were at the table.
"'It's Mrs. Lawler's writing
she seems to be planning a
party"
She tossed them down
upon the cloth and unfOlded
her napkin.

morning." she said, helping
herself to scalloped potatoes
and lettuce salad. "Sold

Alice shot her a cold and
level glance. "I Do wish
you'd stop going around
from door to door, like an
agent, taking orders!" she
said sharply. "You re a dis
grace to this family!'
Ann Marie laughed at her.
You should worry about
this family's disgrace, dar-
ling" she said with great
cheerfulness. "You II soon
be a Lawler! And people
aren't going to think I'm a
disgrace just because I try
to make some money. Every
body in this town knows me,
and most everybody knows
I'm saving up to go to New
York and study art. No
body's going to snub me for
that!"

But Howard wouldn't
hear of that.

that! You posed for the

She didn't have anything
to do with them!"
His wife fixed him with
a bright and angry look.
"It was her idea" F" she
cried Indignantly. And
she found the place and
posed me! It was her idea
to call the best picture
"Spring" too. Why, the
whole thing was her idea
And she paid for the cab
we hired for the trip"
Don't be silly, Stella, -
Ann Marie said, interrupting
her quietly. "Howdy's
right. The money belongs
to you two, if you win it!"
Until that moment she
had been planning to ask
them for a hundred dollars
of the thousand, leaving the
rest to Stella for her 5000
debt.
But now she knew she
would never get a cent of it.
For a minute she was
sorry she had let the other
two in on it-and then she
was ashamed of herself for
being sorry!
They need it more than
I dO-that money, she
thought. Poor things!"

Some people know how to
be poor.
Some families know how
to pick out cheap cuts of
meat. How to save flour
sacks and make them into
dish-towels. How to oil the
soles of their winter shoes
to make them last longer.
How to scrimp and save and
get along.
But the Macys never had
known how to be poor.

wet eyes against the SleeVu
Of his rough old coat.
"But I'm not crying be-
cause I wasn't asked" she
wept, while his hand stroked
her brown hair. "I'm cry
ing because I would have
been asked if-if Neal had
told them he's engaged to
me. Only he wouldn't. He
was afraid to. ! guess he's
ashamed Of me, too" And
she sobbed loudly like q
small girl.

"You-you engaged And
who's the man, did you

He never had known what
was going on in his own
family.
"Neal Forsythe. Mrs.
Lawler's nephew" Ann
Marie told him when she
was calmed down. ".I'm en-
gagged to him, but he won't
let me tell anyone about it. "
Hmm" mused Mr.. Macy,
"Hmm-won't let you tell
anyone he's engaged to you,

Ann Marie got up and left
the table.
On the afternoon Of the
Lawlers party she stayed in
the back of the store all

bertsons' parchment candle
shades.
Toward five O'Clock her
father came back to her,
his mild eyes little troubled

hands in his pockets, whist

a minute or two. "Seems

Until that moment Ann

Now he was on the street.

She went into the back
parlor now, and took q long
second look at it.
Then, with the magazine
under her arm, she tele-
phoned Howdy, who was
helping his father at the
store these days.
Can you get away for an

eff you can, bring a roll Of
