Hitchhikers To Be Banned

An exchange makes the interesting announcement
that Fort Worth is planning enactment OF an ordi-
nance banning hitch-hikers, making the solicitation
OF rides a punishable offense. Parking codes also will
be revised in the same ordinance. eliminating all park
ing from Main and Houston, important business
streets, except early in the morning and in the eve
ming. Hitchhikers dot the highways from coast TO
coast and from Canada TO the Mexican border. There
are thousands of these luckless and hungry hitch
mixers in Texas. They are found on all the high
ways and in all the byways. They flag tourists but
the tagging does not stop the motor driver.
FL Paso appears TO be the favorite oasis in the
desert for the hitchhikers going west and hitchhikers
going east and south. Just the other day at Van
Horn in Culbertson county the sheriff elected las
from one freight train. A reminder that winter Is
here and that the south and southwest will be over
run by hitchhikers, who are classified as hoboes by
the newspaper writers Of the land. A vast number
are not hoboes by choice. They lost their jobs in the
industrial centers in the north and east and now
they are wandering hoping that Lady Luck will give
them a lift or the motorist stop when tagged.

Barney, too. Everyone does. He's
going to be here at three"
AT three? Well. I must certain
ly manage to say how do you do
at least"
Mrs. Parsons turned the CONVEX
sation into ether channels, bu. she
continued to watch Celia and take
stock OF her observations. For n
thing, the girl IA not eating.
Twice she started when she was
spoken to. and then flushed and
stumbled in her apologies. There
was a far-away look in Celia's dark
eyes. Oh, yes. the signs were all
there!
Lisi had departed Immediately
after breakfast. 1t was Mrs. Parsons
custom to spend the hours after
luncheon either shopping or at
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 70 her
bedroom. She wanted to be alone.
Instead of getting out buffer and
file she curled up in the one large
chair the boasted and tried
TO plan exactly what her first words
70 Barney would be.
She would welcome him at the
door herself. 1t would help to over
come Barney's impression that she
lived surrounded by elegance and
luxury far beyond him. Guilty.
Celia remembered the afternoon
before when he had made It plain
hc thought she did not want to
introduce him to her new friends
OF course she had tried TO avoid
meeting Tod Jordan. At thought or
Jordan the girl realized she faced
another problem. Ted would have
to be told she had been mistaken
in saving she cared for him.
II amazed Celia to discover how
detached and impersonal her feel
ing toward Jordan had become.
she had completely forgotten him,
and now that she remembered. MS
name brought no quickening OF
emotion. Jordan vas simply a
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
and told herself she was lin love-
with him. Neither Of those affec-
tons was anything like the over
u-helming emotion which stirred
her. There was no doubt that this
was love-real love. based on adj
miration. loyalty. her deep need Of
Carney and a prayer that Barney
might need her.
But IL was alarming to know that
one could make mistakes about
love. and to know that one coulc

Celia remembered how Barney
Shields had said he loved her. and
complained that her affection was
not so deep as his own. Oh. but

it possible Barney's feelings had

CHAPTER XLIrI
For an hour before Barney came
Celia waited impatiently. She had
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
had not yet set in.
Celia had made a discovery. and
everything else in the world paled
into unimportance. She knew she
loved Barney Shields.
Her heart had sung his name all

Hearing his voice over the tele-
phone that morning had been like
hearing ii for the first time.
Celia had laughed and promised
eagerly that she would be waiting
for him. but all that she wanted
TO tell him remained unsaid. Had
he guessed? Was il possible that
Barney did not know how every
thing in the world had changed
when he himself was the center Of
that transformation?
One minutes she hoDcd he under
stood. The next she was in a fever
OF impatience to tell him her heart
was his completely.
AT luncheon Evelyn Parsons noted
the girls heightened color. her
p-reoccupied manner. Shrewdly she
made deductions.
Have you had any news from
the young man who was in the
fire." she asked casually.
Barney? Oh. yes. he telephoned.

in a sling. but he says u isn't a

For one dreadful moment the
suspense lasted. Then Celia forced
a little laugh and sprang up from
the chair. There was no reason
why she should doubt Barney. She
herself might make mistakes, but
Barney tbless his precious hearth
would never fail her.
A sudden longing that was both
ecstasy and pain swept over her.
She wanted 10 feel his arms about
her. to tell Barney that he was
dearer to her than life. to hear
over and over again that he would
never go away.
Celia began to dress. AS she
busted herself before the mirror
