Cherry'S too-bright eyes, her flushed

From the first moment Of knowing
that the three members of the
triangle-Cherry, her husband, Nils
Johnson, and her ardent admirer,
Alan Beardsley--were cloSeted in the

CHAPTER xxxv

DERHAPS it was because she was
L SO tired and suddenly SO sleepy
that the prayer for help which Ruth
Lester addressed, with child-like
faith, to her Heavenly Father, ended
in an extremely unorthodoX man
ner, designed to confound a less
understanding God than the One
in which she believed.
For her last words, before sleep
settled upon her, like a smothering
eiderdoWn comfort, were: please
come back to me, daddy. I'm not
clever enough to save Jack without
your help. It's just the kind of case
you always loved. You could make
all the pieces of the puzzle fit. Come
back and laugh at me for being so
stupid-so stupid"
And with miraculous suddennesS,
part Of that drowSy, naive prayer
was answered. Subconsiciously Ruth
Lester knew that she was dreaming,
that her actual body-aching with
fatigue-waS lying on her couch bed
in her tiny bachelor-girl apartment,
that her adored father. Colby Lester,

was evidently enjoying the sub
merged drama and was Ioath to
leave, led in the breaking up move
ment.
AS he took Faiths hand and ut
tered the conventional phrases, his
small, deep-Set black eyes gave her
a mute message of undying loe and
sympathy.
And Faith felt comforted, for al
though she was not in love with
him and never had been, his unfal-
tering devotion was precious to her.
With a friendly courtesy that
held 10 hint of restraint, George
Pruitt offered Alan Beardsley a lift
to his hotel When the three had
left, Nils Jcnson addressed his sis
ter-in-law with unassumed cheer
fulness:
May phone for a taxi, Faith?
I rather Think Cherry has left
Rhoda and me stranded"
"I'll drie you home" Bob offered.
and overrode their objections with
such vigor that Faith smiled.
She knew he was jumping at the
chance not to be present if-or
rather when Cherry should return,
vowing she had come 'shome." and
never wanted to see her husband
again.

Lisabela Rejects
Bond Redemption
Proposal at Election
The Great Task is Still Before the
Friends of the Union High
School

The elections held last Saturday ir
Maury and Lisabeula districts showed
that the people of the former district
were most emphatic in their expression
of approval while in the Lisabeula
district the measure was lost by two
votes. The results in votes was
Maury. 81 for and II against, in
Lisabeula 28 for, and 80 against the
proposition.
While We have not been able to get
in touch with the ones who can
furnish us with definite figures, the
amount that must be raised for the
Lisabeula district is only a matter of
six or seven hundred dollars.
At first it seemed that the new high
school was now an impossibility, but
this is not the case, for with the 5000
already subscribed by the Business
Mems Club OF vashon, a small amount
like this is not going to dampen our
ardor.
Various organizations. such as the
Commercial Club, the Burton Improve
ment Club, not to mention the various
women's clubs, will no doubt now
come forward wits their contribu-
tions. to augment what already has
been donated
That those in the Lisabeula district
that see the need of adequate high
school facilities are in the minority is
unfortunate, however, since chain
is only as strong as its weakest link"
We will have to give this minority the
support of the rest Of the Island,
trusting that the other faction will
come to feel glad that they were help
ed i'll spite Of themselves.
One excellent phase OF the situation
is that now it has clearly crystallized,
the people of Vashon Island know what
they must do before the big job Of
beginning work on the new building
can start. The task may seem great,
but those OF us who have purchased
radios, cars, etc. know that when the
purchase cost of thing is spread over
period of time the paying for it is
not particularly painful. This will be
the case with our new high school
and even though each taxpayer may
be called upon to pay sum. on the
average equivelant to but little more
than they spend each month for the
operation of their car, this amount.
about forty dollarsl will be spread
over a period of IS years. less than two
dollars year.

The fact that Mr.. Johns filled, in

deal to those Of us who knew him

who possess a genuine respect for
