made two errors at the start. She
caught them. began calculations
once more. and suddenly heard
the ringing OF the door bell.
Ten minutes after three and she
had not finished. 1t vas Barney.
OF course.
Celia rose. There was no reason
why Evelyn's bills should be bal
anced Immediately. She was dis
gusted with herself for having
undertaken the task.
Her heart beat loudly and for a
minute she waited to steady her
self. Then she went into the liv-
ing room. Barney was sitting with
his back toward her, talking 10
Evelyn.
Mrs. Parsons saw the girl.
"Oh. here you are, Cellar she

her with unusual formality. The

Barney looked embarrassed un-

"Oh. ! want you to! You'll like
Barney. too Everyone does. He's
going to be here at three"
AT three? Well. / must certain
" manage to say how do you do
at least"
Mrs. Parsons turned the CONVEX
saticn into other channels, but she
continued to watch Celia and take
stock Of her observations. For one
thing. the girl was not eating.
Twice she started when she was
spoken TO, and then flushed and
stumbled in her apologies. There
was a PARKWAY look in Celia's dark
eyes. Oh, yes, the signs were all
therei
Lisi had departed Immediately
after breakfast. 1t was Mrs. Parsons
custom TO spend the hours after
luncheon either shopping or al
bridge. Celia had set three O'Clock
as the time for Barney's call. con
fident they would not be interrupt
ed.
Are you going out?" she asked
as she and Evelyn left the lunch
con table.
"A little later. There are some
letters / really must attend to
first"
Celia mumbled something about
A manicure and slipped away to hel
bedroom. She wanted to 20 alone
Instead OF getting out buffer and
file she curled up in the n large
chair the room bcasted and tried
TO plan exactly what her first words
10 Barney would be.
She would welcome him at tho
door herself. II would help 10 over
I come Barney's impression that she
lived surrounded by elegance anC
luxury far beyond him. Guilty.
Celia remembered the afternoon
before when he had made it plair
he thought she did not want tC
introduce him to her new friends.
OF course she had tried to avoic
meeting Tod Jordan. At thought OF
Jordan the girl realized she faced
another problem. Ted would have
TO be told she had been mistaken
in saying she cared for him.
II amazed Celia TO discover how
detached and impersonal her feel
Jig toward Jordan had become
She had completely forgotten him
and now that she remembered. his
name brought no quickening OF
emotion. Jordan was simply q
young man she had danced and
driven and strolled with. How
could she have imagined she cared
more for him than for Barney?
A whole train Of frightening re-
Elections followed. What was this
bewildering thing called love? She
had believed herself lin love- with
Barney before she came TO New
York. Then she had met Jordan
ard told herself she was in love
with him. Neither Of those affec-
tons was anything like the over
Uhelming emotion which stirred
her. There was no doubt that this
was love-real love. based or ad-
miration. loyalty. her deep need OF
Barney and a prayer that Barney
might need her.
But IL was alarming to know that
Il could make mistakes about
love, and TO know that one coulc
change.
Celia remembered how Barney
Shields had said he loved her, and
complained that her affection was
not so deep as his own. Oh, but
that had been months beforel Was
it possible Barney's feelings had
altered?

side. The Valley Is too far out OF
the way for them to visit this sec
ton. That's what they think.
But we know better. If a good
circuit could be interested in the
thing, we could almost personally
guarantee fun houses ar least once
or twice a week. And that's about
as often as they could be induced to
come here. anyway. And there are
seventeen towns in the Valley, some
of them like McAllen, Mission. Mer-
cedes. Harlingen. San Benito and
Brownsville being more than wide

In fact-oh, well, why 90 further?
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1930-11-07

For one dreadful moment the
suspense lasted. Then Celia forced
a little laugh and sprang Hp from
the chair. There was no reason
why she should doubt Barney. she
herself might make mistakes, but
Barney (bless his precious hearth
would never fail her.
A sudden longing that was both
ecstasy and pain swept over her.
She wanted TO feel his arms about
her. to tell Barney that he was
dearer 10 her than life. TO hear
over and over again that he would
never 60 away.
Celia began to dress. As she
busted herself before the mirror
her thoughts leaped forward. She
planned the meeting at which she
would introduce Barney TO her ia
ther. John Mitchell would approve
of the young man. she felt sure.
because Barney had 3 profession
Of which he vas proud, and in
which he was succeeding. Frequen-
tiy Mitchell had made clear what
he thought Of youths who were
content to~amuse themselves at
sports. idly wasting incomes ac-
. quired by Woodworking ancestors.
The girl glanced up and caught
her reflection. The face in the glass
smiled back at her. There was no
need to apply rouge today. Her
cheeks were pink, and surely her
eyes had never been so bright.
She got out her newest frock,
slipped ii owe her shoulders and
then hastily put 1t aside for an
other. The second dress was rose
cclored. quite as expensive as the
other, but simpler. Celia remem-
bered that Barney Shields had
praised her in the little homemade
dress Of ros that her mother had
fashioned.
As she stood taking a final sur

Mrs. Parsons asked " you could

to Evelyn.

For an hour before Barney came

spent a restless night and slept
little, but she was not aware that
she was tired. Reaction from the
excitement Of the past "a hours

Celia had made a discovery. and
everything else in the world paled

Barney did not know how every

when he himself was the center or

The Once Over
AS FOOTBALL MAY BE REPORTED
BY Il L PHILLIPS
Of confusion over alleged ilegalities continues a
the present rate)

Biloxi won the toss and chose the north goal, with
the court of appeals at its back. Scroggs kicked off,
the ball going over the sideline but bounding back off
a spectators shoulder. Time was taken out while
counsel for both teams went into a huddle. 1t was
finally ruled tMcGuiness versus Halliday that a ball
interfered with by a spectator must be kicked over
again, the first kick being held immaterial and ir-
relevant.
On the second kick the ball was caught by Wig
ginbotham, who. seeing himself surrounded, called for
his counsel, Hallahan, Kolinsky, Goldstein g. OHara.
The lawyers asked for a change of venue. Motion
overruled. Exception taken. On the next play DIM
mock was thrown for a loss of seven yards. An ap-
peal was Immediately taken. The contention is that
the tackle was unconstitutional. Cattle versus Wal
labout)
Time was taken out for the filing of briefs by both
sides.
When play was resumed. Breen attempted a for
ward pass to Steukle. Steukle, however, failed to get
to the appointed spot in time to receive it. Breen
telephoned his lawyer TO see if he had grounds for
action on a claim Of breach Of contract. The poin:
is a most interesting one.
At this point Eel Feitelbaum. the elusive fullbacl
Of the Biloxi eleven, was given the ball and seemed
about to get away for a touchdown when he was hit
hard by three Tulane men and thrown 50 hard he
lost four upper teeth. On a question Of whether OF
not this constituted a violation of the Monroe Dos
trine, play was suspended while the coaches went
into a huddle with the Attorney General.
The Attorney General handed down a ruling at
3:45 that it was a matter of state rights.
Here Red Belts was given the ball and made one
yard through center. There was great ahazement IN
the stands when no point Of law was raised. Grogans
then made three yards around left end but fumbled
the ball. 1t was recovered by Pete Dolan on a writ
Of habeas corpus. Three hundred attorneys in the
cheering section arose as one man and filed a demur-
rer. So far it has been the most involved game of the
football season. The betting is Z to 5 for a%cquittal.
That's Settled
