DERYL had not locked the bath
II room door. an oversight that
saved a deal OF trouble. Irene was
able to get in without waiting for
someone to break down the door.
She took one look at Beryl lying
on the floor-a stain OF red on her
forehead where IT had struck
against the bathtub as she fell
and ran screaming 10 her mothers
room.
Mrs. Everett was scarcely less
panic-stricken than Irene when she
saw Beryl. but between them they
got the injured girl to her bed and
then let Mr.. Everett take charge.
He ordered Irene TO battle the
wound while he called a doctor.
Then he had to give his attention
TO his wife who was sure she was
going to faint"
Beryl soon regained conscious.
ness and saw in a moment into
what confusion she had thrown the
family. Therefore she said nothing
about the pain In her head and
waited quietly for the doctor.
When he came she confded to
him that II was the pain In her
throat that worried her. No. she
hadn't tainted. She had slipped.
A little dizzy. perhaps Yes. she
might have been feverish before
she went to bed.
When the doctor left she realized
that he hadn't given her any in
formation at all. She was to re-
main In bed all day and he would
come back on the morrow.
She obeyed these instructions
until afternoon and then went to
sit on the porch. The pain In her
head was gone. She felt as well a.
usual except for q slight weakness
and that queer feeling In her
throat. a touch OF which remained.

at night" her mother diagnosed as
she helped Beryl downstairs.
"Tm all right" Beryl said
Don't bother"
But her mother would take no
chances. SO she said. and insisted
upon helping her all the way TO the
porch. There Beryl remained
quietly IN q chair because she
didn't want 70 disobey the doctors
orders altogether.
This was better than staying IN
bed. she argued with herself. Not
half so firing. If she were really
TO do as she liked she'd 90 down
10 the beach and sit on the sands
in the sun and toast herself. Then
the doctor would have something to
scold her for. maybe.
CHE stirred uneasily IN her chair
Could there DO anything wrong
with her-with her throat? The
doctor had been so definite about
coming back. Her throat! She
hardly dared think what It would
mean TO her to have anything in
lure her throat-anything serious.
Well. their doctor was an old
fogey. Shed have a consultation II
he said there was anything wrong.
Beryl kept her oncer TO herself
and got a bit OF amusement out Of
Irene's enjoyment az the situation.
Irene had assigned 4 herself the
duty OF answering the telephone
calls News Of Beryl's fall had
travelled quickly from neighbor TO
neighbor. Irene enjoyed the lime
light Her conversations were in
variably sweet but short and Beryl
sensed that she al waiting for
one call In particular.
1t came at last Prentiss apollo
gized for keeping them up so late
the night before. He and Irene
talked for several minutes before
he remembered that 1t was Beryl
he should be calling. Then Irene
explained to him that Beryl was
"indisposed," and could not come
to the telephone. He asked II he
might come out from town and
without consulting Beryl. Irene
told him that would be all right
All day Mrs. Everett had been
shooing visitors away from Beryl
who found II strained her vocal
cords to talk. BeryI reminded Irene
Of this when she heard Prentiss
was coming.
-You shouldn't have let him." she
said -You know / can't talk"
In Beryl's eyes was that mock
ing light that so nettled Irene and
there was a hint OF ridicule In her
voice. Irene turned away with q
toss OF her head and enough dis
erection TO keep silent
A little later Tommy dropped in
and wanted Irene to 90 for a swim
with him. She said she had TO
shampoo her hair.

Now 1t Is Up to the Taxpayers

Early in the session Rep. Preston L. Anderson Of
Bexar county introduced an important amendment
to the cosititution. 1t ran the gauntlet OF both houses
and was sent to the governor. He approved and filed
the measure. 1t is known as joint resolution No. 26.
1t provides for submission TO the qualified voters in
1882 Of an amendment to the constitution providing
that only persons owning taxable property WHICH
A BEEN o shall be
qualified to vote at election for the purpose Of issu-
ing bonds or otherwise lending credit or expending
money or assuming debt. Fair enough. 1t should be
given the approval of the qualified voters Of Texas.
