smooth-shaven cheek, "and
our money was getting low,
so we came back here"
He paused, cleared his
throat and opened his lips
again.
Then he closed them. He
seemed to be trying to make
up his mind to say some
thing that he didn't know
how to put into words.
Ann Marie waited.
II took Stella to the
hotel when we got in to-
night" the boy went on
after a minute or two. II
-I--sort of wanted you to
get ready for her. -
Ann Marie looked relieved.
"There's nothing much to
get ready. The house is in
order, and your room is as
clean as a button-just as
you left it. !"
He shook his head and
the look of worry in his
face deepened.
"That ism t what / mean, "
he said, nervously lighting
another cigarette.
"You see, when | met
Stella | had a lot of money
and l told her my folks
had a big house back here
and owned a book store.
You know, a fellow
usually does brag a little
about himself to a girl when
he's crazy about her. "
Ann Marie nodded. She
began to understand now
why Howdy had left his
bride at the hotel, and
lump came into her throat.
She had always felt
like a mother to Howdy and
that was the way she felt
now. Poor little boy! Boast
ing to his bride of riches
that were not his, and of
high position that his family
certainly did not havel
" And now I've got to
make good on what I said

money, too. Look at the
clothes Of her!"
Stella's clothes were beau
tiful and expensive-looking.
She had two trunks, and
Ann Marie gasped when
she helped unpack them.
Thin chiffon underthings
with heavy satin ribbons
drawn through tn e m.
Straight little silk daytime
dresses. Two heavily beaded
evening gowns with beaded
slippers to match. A velvet
evening cape with a fluffy
white-fox collar. Three dozen
pairs of silk stockings in
every color of the rainbow.
Hand-embroidered handker-
! chiefs in a flowered-silk
case. Three bottles of per-
fume in a big leather box.
"She must haye spent
every nickel she made on
her back" Alice remarked
tartly to Ann Marie when
they were alone.
II got most of my things
just before l married
Howdy,' Stella told Ann
Marie a few days afterward.
"He told me what good
times you people have here,
and I knew I'd need some
decent clothes for all the
parties. !" > Why don't
you folks have a car, Ann
Marie Z"
If a lie about a car would
have helped Howdy out Ann
Marie would have told it
then, although she was far
from being a liar.
But she knew that Stella

Smith, I" answered Howdy
as if that explained every
thing.
He sat down on the edge
of the dressing table and
lighted a cigarette.
"Wait until you see her!
She's a pip!" His infatua-
tion for her showed itself
in his face as he talked
about her. II met her on
the train on the way west.
She thought I had a
lot of money. We got mar
ried in Kansas City"
"She. thought you had
lot of money!" Ann Marie
echoed. She knew how
very little Howdy had when
he left town six weeks be-
fore.
Yep. I'd been playing
cards all the way with three
rich old bozoes who were GO
ing out to California to play
golf for a month, (" he said.
/ won seven hundred bucks
from them. They didn't
need it and I did. For once
I got a break. F"
He went on with his story.
He had never gone as far
as Oklahoma. In Kansas
City Stella had given up
her job-she was travelling
saleswoman for a cold
cream company-and Howdy
had hunted for work.
81 couldn't get the sort
Of thing l wanted" he said,

would have to know the
truth about the family
sooner or later, and so she
told part Of it now.
- Because we can't afford
one, Stella, she said
shortly.
A shadow crossed Stella's
face.
She had been sitting in
front Of the crate in the
parlor, smoking a cigarette.
She snubbed It out on the
blue ash tray that lay on
the couch beside her and
walked over to the window.
Your brothers quite a
buffer, isn't he3" she asked
bitterly. Telling me all
about the wonderful parties
you girls would give for me
when | got here! Telling
me all about his father s big
store and the gorgeous,
grand house you lived in,

Her voice broke and she
turned from the window, her
face streaming with tears.
II didn't care whether he
had any money or not--so
why did he lie to met" she
sobbed. II loved him and
| wanted to be married to
him and belong to a nice
family! And then when he
said he was so rich, I

She flew up the stairs,
and came flying back with
three envelopes in her hand.

He came up the stairs into
Che light that streamed out
from her bedroom.
The first thing she noticed
about him was that he had
grown a little mustache that
was like a slnudge on his
upper lip.
He looked very smart and
dapper in a new suit and a
wide-striped tie. Evidently
he had been doing well dur
ing the weeks since he left
home.
"How did you get in, for
heaven sake7" Ann Marie
asked him.
He held up the front door
key for his answer, pushed
her back into her room and
came in himself, closing the
door carefully behind him.
Listen, he said softly,
/ am married. . And he
laughed in a half-hearted
way as if he were springing
a poor joke on her.
"You're not /"
Eyes, / am. !" The laugh
ter all died out Of his voice.
''My wife's right here in
town, down at the Planters
Hotel this minute-getting
our bags unpacked. +"
Ann Marie gazed at him,
wide-eyed. "Why didn't
you bring her home with
you9 Who is she?" she
asked. She was just begin
ming to take all this in, and
to think clearly.

l did. Gosh, I even told
her about the wonderful old
servant we had-and when
she sees Mrs. Leezy living
here like one of the family,
eating with us and every
thing" He groaned and
put his head down into his
hands.
When she finds out what
a liar and four-flusher /
am she II probably walk out
on me-" his voice became
muffled and full of misery.
"Not If she's the right
kind of girl" Ann Marie
said stoutly. "The right
kind Of girl would live on
crusts and in a garret with
the man she loved-if she
had to.
Her voice became tender
and dreamy for a moment.
She was thinking Of a tops
floor room somewhere among
the roofs of New York. A
room that was home to Neal
Forsythe. =" How gladly
she would share it when the
time came!
"You bring your girl
home tomorrow morning,
| Howdy, and everything will
be all right, I" she said.
"We II get a lot of flowers
and fix up the house-and
Mrs. Leezy always has her
breakfast early so she won t
eat with us for the first
meal. And, after all, we
Do own a bookstore and
our home is big even if it's
shabby. Don't you worry,
old boy!"
She sent him back to his
waiting bride, and she heard
him go whistling down the
dark, empty street.
II can't give you anything
but love, Ba-a-a-by,
'That s the only thing I've
plenty of-Ba-a-a-by-"
1t was Neal Forsythe's
tune, too, she remembered.
By ten the next morning
Ann Marie had one. a great
many things.
She had broken the news
of Howdy's Homecoming
with his bride to the family.
She had taken 80 of her
hard-earned dollars out of
the bank.
She had brought flowers
for the house, new dresser
scarf and reading lamp for
Howdy's old room, some new
water goblets for the din
ing-room table, and pint of
coffee cream.
The morning was cold and
bright. Sunshine flooded the
shabby old dining room,
furnishing the battered
silver on the coffee tray and
making the new water COB
let's sparkle like diamonds.
There were wood fires in
the two front rooms, and
another one in Howdy's bed
room upstairs. Ann Marie S
Glove carnations made the
whole house fragrant with
their perfume, and Mrs.
Leezy, crying and shifting
with happiness because
Howdy was coming home,
had on a black dress and a
white apron that cracked as
she moved.
At half past 10 yellow
taxicab-the same one that
had taken Howdy to the sta
tion weeks ago-came up
the street, bringing him and
his wife home.
The minute that Ann
Marie saw Stella she began
to like her.
She was a tiny, slender
thing with enormous brown
eyes and a mop of red-gold
hair that covered her head
with shiny little curls like 4
babys ringlets. She had a
wide, friendly smile.
She was smiling as she
came up the steps of the
house.

WAR BIRD TO
Get MEMORIAL
Army viii Commemorate
Hero Pigeons Deed,

WASHINGTON. June 20. - The
army is going to do what it can to
perpetuate the memory Of a bat
tered homing pigeon which one day
in November. 1918. fluttered TO its
loft at Rampont, France, minus a
leg and with a bullet wound in its
breast. A scrubbed message from
the front was intact.
Because of this and other eX-
PLOTS. the pigeon was named Presi-
dent Wilson. It has Just died at
Fl Monmouth, N. j.. aged eleven
years. after being retired from &C
tive service after the war. The bird
was bred in France OF unknown
pedigree. but its record is that OF
thoroughbred.
First with the tanks and later at
St Mihiel and in the Meuse- Ar
COME. the bird was in regular serv-
ice It's final exploit was the flight
to Rampont from Grand Pre-.
twenty-five miles. which was made
in exactly twenty-five minutes. The
message from Grand Pre- was hang
ing to the ligaments of the birds
legs when it arrived.
The bird is to be stuffed and
mounted and beneath its pedestal in
the Fl. Monmouth museum. A pla-
card will recount the exploits that
made it famous.
