full, But Gwen and Avis were facing
storms.
First of all, the hot weather had
come. Many artists were out of town.
Others were ioafing lIxuriously. The
girls had very little work. The Sum-
n1er before they had not felt the press
OF circumstances, as they each had
few dollars.
Gwen asked the landlady about a
cheaper room. She gave them one. It
was on the top floor and 1t was suffo-
catingly hot. It was meant for one per-
son and the double bed that was in
stalled gave them hardly room enough
to turn around. They reduced their
breakfasts to toast and coffee. Later
they did without butter, assuring them
selves that 1t was only matter of few
days. They began eating sandwiches
Tor dinner, and those were of cheese
or anything else that was cheap.
Avis laughed at herself in those days
Here was fortunes favored child living
In Stuffy room without proper food
She was glad that she could laugh at
herself.

IN that dismal, hot room under a
burning roof Avis Clayton found her
self. She saw girl who had hoped
much and done little. A girl who had
never appreciated anything the world
had given her. A silly, shallow drop of
water, believing that it should be dis
tinguished from the other drops of
water In the mighty river and treated
more gently. She lived through her
book Of revelations and emerged another
person.
Gwen was wonder through every
thing. Avis admired her intensely and
strove TO be as brave as she. And, after
all, it was poor Gwen that the fates
bounced upon when they got ready to
show Avis what real trouble was.
The girls had been looking for some
work that did not depend upon artists.
They had separated at Pennsylvania
Station. Avis was on her way to an
employment bureau and Gwen was
going to try her hand at telephone
operating. Avis did not get a Job and
soon after returned to the room.
She was shocked speeches. at the
sight Of her friend, who an hour before
had been in perfect health. Gwen was
walking up and down. clutching despair
ingly at her right side. Beads of per-
spiration stood on her brow and upper
lip. Her eyes were wild and her voice
was a moan.
AVIS nelpeo ner 10 the pea ana Gwen
gaSped that she knew nothing, except
that the pain had gripped her suddenly
and that she had managed to get home.
Avis was badly frightened. She looked
IN Ovens pocketbook, where the joint
funds were kept, and saw less than So.
But Gwen had to have a doctor.
Avis rushed madly out into the street.
A half block away lived a doctor. He
listened to the story and went to Gwen
at once. His haste sent icy fingers of
fear to clutch at Avis heart. What
she had ssid had aroused the doctors
concern? Did that mean that she was
to lose the only friend she had in the
world?
The doctor examined Gwen. Her
agony was so intense that she could
hardly remain quiet for the brief mo-
ment that 1t took him to make the
diagnosis.
Appendicitis, he said.
What can do for her?" Avis asked.
His brows raised at the question.
Her appendix must be taken out" he
said. she must be operated on today"
We're out Of work." Avis said.
There's no money"

added her own embellishments to the
story when she passed it on.

THE GNay at the Trents' was short, for
Gilbert was anxious to be back at his
studies. Avis was unconcerned as to
whether she stayed there or went back
with him. She was lackadaisical and
disinterested.
It would have been impossible for
Gilbert's nature to divine the thoughts
that were in Avis mind. When they
returned home, she begged to be allowed
to 60 to her cousins house for a while.
Gilbert's eyes looked stricken, but he
granted her wish. Laura frankly said
that Avis was crazy, but she opened her
house to her again.
Gilbert came to see his bride every
day. She would find him looking at her
longingly and would become impatient
Of his devotion. Oh, II he would only
take his penniless purse somewhere, that
she should never see it again.
One night he told her that he had a.
chance to make some money. His
comic opera. The tenor was Ill. TAX
ing his place meant that Gilbert would
have to go to another city for three
weeks.
Avis advised him to grasp the oppor-
tunity. He begged her to go with him,
but she said she preferred to await his
return.
He was respondent over her decision
and was all Tor giving the idea up COM
pletely. but his loving wife pointed out
the fact that 1t would be experience,
and, with obvious reluctance, he said
that he would 60.
He gave her q little money when they
parted. Avis did not feel wholly con-
tent about taking 1t. but she reasoned
that she would pay 1t back some day.
The day after Gilbert left. Avis said
good-by 10 Laura. She exclaimed that
she had found an apartment for herself
and Gilbert. Laura approved heartily Of
this and Avis left her an address thss
was probably q garage or q lunchroom.
Avis found q rooming house. ~ was

shs wrote a letter 20 Gilbert.

"Ill call the ambulance" the doctor
said.
Avis offered him 50, but he waved her
aside and went out.
She returned to Gwen and looked
down at her. Gwen opened her very
blue eyes and looked up.

Gwen Avis said. Listen, you're

AVIS called the landlady and ex-
plained the situation In a few hurried
words and told her TO send the hospital

pocketbook with the last few bills and
rushed out. She called a taxicab and
ordered the driver to hurry to the thea
ter where Gilbert's play was. Luckily 1t
was q matinee day. Avis sent her name
up to Qilbert's dressing room, and he
came to her, looking. like q blessed

Gilbert when the show persisted. She
need not have pitied him, however, for
though 1.-THE Queens Glove had not
satisfied the public, Gilbert Trent had.
A scant two months after the clos
ing Of the play, Gilbert Trent appeared
as the star In a musical version Of
"Bellarion Avis heard from several
sources that Gilbert's salary was a
thousand dollars week and that his
royalties on monograph records were
enormous.
This is his first year as star"
people said. Hell make great teal
full"
Somehow Or other, Avis had develop
ed little sporting instinct. Enough
to make her feel that she had thrown
him away and had no right now to
cry over her folly. She made no eff
fort to get in touch with him. She
was even able to smile a little to her
self at the ircny Of the situation.
Every now and then she would 60 to
the theater and stand In the lobby,
listening to the comments of his adj
mirers and looking at his pictures.
Her husband!
Gilbert's popularity spread. Avis
met no one who had not seen the show.
His name was on the lips of all thea
ter-loving people. Curiosity at last
forced her to see 'Bellarion."
Gwen and Avis sat up in the bal
cony and watched Gilbert as he sang
his role. He was a dashing, handsome
hero, and something within Avis stir
rcd at the sweetness of his voice. Il
was a feeling akin to the che she should
have experienced months before In the
light Of q rose-colored lamp.
She shook herself inpatiently en-

WASHINGTON, Sept, IT, (P)- The case of Wm. B. Shearer, who has been severely and publicly re- buked by President Hoover for methods opposing international disarmament became the subject of formal consideration by the con- gressional committee at the insist ance of Senator Borah of Idaho, a staunch advocate of naval reduc- ton.
 The senate committee has been called by Chairman Hale to deter mine what shall be done to make in investigation of Shearer's actiyi- ties. Sentiment of the committee is known to be in favor of the ac- tion of the President. who has made public second utterance in con- nectiOn with the storm aroused by disloyalty which Shearer revealed when he sued three ship building corporations for back pay claimed due for acting as agent in opposi- tion to disarmament
 Foremost among the decisions were President Hoover's public statement emphasizing his decision to go deeply into the Shearer case and the announcement by the sen ate naval affairs committee that it would also investigate Shearer's activities in the realms of propa- eanda against limitations.

Seward is entertaining, at the Van Glider hotel, a couple who, on May TO- thrilled all Alaska, and proved that romance is still very much alive in this busy business world, when they were married in an airplane above Cordova. This couple, MT. and Mrs. Howard w Steward, is the only couple ever to Ibe married in Alaska in an airplans as far as is known.
 ! Mrs. Steward, as Miss Henrietta Brown, was a school teacher at Cor
 dova, but since her marriage she and MT. Steward are running a
 photo shop in Cordova.
 MT. Steward was in the tragedy
 last year at Gokoma, on the high way between Valdez and Fairbanks,
 when a plane, owned by Owen Meals and the pilot, crashed. Both MT. Stewards legs were broken. He has recovered from the accident. The Stewards will leave on We'd nesday's train for Anchorage where
 they will visit various parts of the Interior in the interest of the All Iaska Steamship Co.,, and are taking pictures to be used in the 1880 Literature of the Alaska Steamship
