%STOW SUE
BY IMAGERY HALE
o io3o ev NEA SERVICE, ,iAc.

At the door of room nine where MT Merryman had been taken, Sue stopped and reached out an impul- sive hand to pull Corrinne away.
 We aren't going in! We don't have to humiliate him any more. Of course he knows we want to be there, but think how he will feel. |"
 Pm going!" Two bright red spots famed in Corrinne's cheeks. And I'm going to stay until the end. He won't mind. Honestly he won't, Sue. And after all it's a family affair.""
 She shuddered. She was afraid of the scene that she would find be- yond that door. The brusque com- mands of the officials. The grim mechanism of tragedy-working ma- chimes that could treat hearts as though they were surplus pages in a ledger.aShe wanted Jack to hurry. Corrinne was pushing open the door and Sue followed.
 Sue noticed that her fathers fin- gers spread out on the page of paper. She saw the attendant label the page when his hand was removed. And then her eyes met those of her father.
 This is terrible. It's .... oh, it's worse than anything that ever hap pened to anyone" Corrinne breathed.
 "It's fine way to end up your job, isn't it?" MT Merryman said, trying to laugh little. Its going to be all right. They'll find out the guilty person. Right always wins."
 "1f it has enough money back of It," voice muttered somewhere.
 f hoc "a voice was choked with passion. And you'll be sorry everyone of you Oh, just you wait ."
 "It isn't your money, Mrs Becker" another voice joined the converse tion. This is merely a case of jus tice. If your father is guilty, he'll pay the penalty, if he isn't ."
 "You'll toss him aside on the dis carded heap without so much as an apology. l know your way!'
 The whole room was growing faint and far away. The voices were drift ing in from a long, long distance. A light burned some place, through the gray shadows. Like red light through fog, it seemed to Sue. She dropped her head on her chest. Some one had told her that ie she ever felt faint to do 1t and she would re- cover. A silly idea, she was telling herself. Then she heard voice somewhere.
 Steady. Sue. You'll be all right" It sounded like Jacks. And some- thing was holding her, something strong and protective, so she would mt tumble into the gray nothingness which had been coming. After that she didn't know anything.
 A long time later, or so it seemed to Sue. she opened her eyes. She was lying on a couch in dingy room whose high windows were barred. A woman who wore the uniform of a police matron was bending over her. She shuddered. Then she remember ed that she had tainted. She tried to sit up. Her father needed her. "You'll be all right in a little while now" the woman's voice assured her. The shock was too much" Sue asked in voice that wobbled. Right here!" He stepped in from the doorway. "SOmeone called me out a second. Are you sure you're better. Sue? I'm going to take you home now"
 'I'd rather go to the office," Sue answered. "I'll be all right" Jacks words were very low, Sue, the office is going to defend the bank against . your father"

YOUR
 CHILDREN
.MpRobersBal1oz
NfA SERVICE INC. (

When our children grow up they are going to be precisely like all the millions of children who have grown up before them.
 That is, they are going to be hu- man and to be human is to remem- Der.
 If we stop q moment and draw mental picture of that future. we parents will find ourselves hoping that their memories will hold only the golden moments of childhood.
 And to certain extent that is true. The business man dreams Of the old swimming hole; the wo- man, of her first party or her first big doll. Both of them remember happy family life and sigh over the thought that they did not appre- ciate it when they had it.
 But there are other things in their memories not so pleasant, barbs that stick adn still sting - the. times they were scolded unjustly. punished, shamed. mistreated.
 They Don't Always Forget
 These are the things we are hop ing that our own children will for get when they are grown, but they won't; for every time child is cut deeply by an unpleasant thing it leaves a mental scar that he seldom outgrows.
 We think of life as present. Only too soon it is past. They say now that there is no time, but as long as there is memory there will be time. We are too likely to discount our mistakes with children as some thing that will blow over. for the parent who vii not acknowledge that he makes mistakes is very foolish i'm deed. We continually mistreat our children. %
 That last statement is pretty strong one, but I hear things like this occasionally and you may judge if it is not true:
 A young woman said the other day, Every time I differed with Mother and offered an opinion of my own. when I was little, I was told 1 was impudent. Sometimes. guess 1 was rather persistent in trying to put an idea over so per haps I got q bit strong when 1 met opposition, but now that think of it I don't believe I was ever really impudent once."
 Don't Incur Resentment
 This case is mild. How about children who are punished with out any justification whatever on the part of the parent except that he or she is angry? All children arc impulsive, forgetful, mischiev- ous. Mischief itself Is no crime. we now know for it is prompted by natural energy and curiosity. don't give q snap of my finger for child who isn't all three.
 Our words cut like whips. our own actions burn and scar. Chil dren remember and no such bitter memories add to the happiness or life.
 Don't let the children grow up resentful of their early treatment
