CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

"NAN I look now?" Norma de-
~ manded. Her two hands
were clapped tightly over her eyes
and she was smiling. "Oh, I can't
waitl Do let me look nowl" she
begged.
"Just a minute there! Keep those
eyes closed until I say Ready Now
hold your hands outl"
Something bulky, something made
of paper was placed in the girls
arms. A box, she was certain. Yes,
a big box though it wasn't in the
least heavy.
Mark, what on earth have you
got there?"
did I say ready? Keep those
eyes Shut Lord, but you're a hard
one to manage. Now wait a minute
there, I guess you can look.

Norma opened her eyes. She
blinked them. why, Mark Trav-

such a big box. Why. why Marx"
Fully four feet long was the sill
yer gray box in the girls arms. The
crest on the cover she recognized
as the symbol of the most exclusive
flower shop in Marlboro.
Impulsively Norma slipped the lid
back. Green transparent wrappings
inside Deep scarlet showing
through them.

that blends flame with crimson, lay
revealed.
Their leaves sparkled with dewy
moisture. They were g-stemmed
patrician blossoms. Their fragrance
bathed the girl in heady, spiced
sweetness.
'They're-they're beautiful" Nor
ma said again. Almost such love-
illness seemed a secret thing.
"Glad you like them. Do you by
any chance recall what day this is?"
What day? Why-oh, Mark, you
didn't think could forget?"

He had been talking with MOTTO
ing the change which had come
over the girls face. Suddenly in
stead of coming nearer, Norma
backed away.
Mark she cried in a startled
voice. THE fiowers-you didn't
oh, you didn't take the money you

Horror, shrewd conviction, en-

with terrible assurance, they were
true. Beautiful. utterly use

The girl was radiant Its the
turning point" she told herself.
"Everythings going to be all right
now"
She was singing as she cleared
the dishe3 from the table. Mark
wiped them. The two were as
happy as they had been on any of
their extravagant evenings at Blue
Springs. Thirty-five dollars a
week seemed as big as $500 had
before.
He'll get along!" Norma assured
herself. Marks going to make
good"
LIE was off next morning at 8
4 4 o'clock; tired but in good
spirits when he returned at 6. A
number of interesting events had
happened during the day.
A huge department store, Mark
was to discover, was an absorbing
institution. The first day had
proved an eyeopener. Successive
days were each to hold new ex-
periences.
1t was hard work, but for the
first time Mark Travers was seeing
side of life he never had known.
Some of the anecdotes he related
were amusing. Some were pathetic
and others showed how jealousy,
egotism and a dozen other weak
nesses Of the human family are
barred in their daily barter.
Each day brought Saturday near
er when Mark was to receive the
coveted $35. Fifteen Of those dol
lars would go for a weeks rent
The major worry on Norman's
horizon had been removed when she
learned the rent money was Sc
cure. Nothing seemed so impor-
tant as maintaining the roof over
their heads.
The eventful evening finally came.
Norma wore one of her prettiest
house frocks. She ran to the door
Iii, threw it open as she heard
Marks footsteps in the hall. He
stood before her, grinning.
"Surprise!" Travers exclaimed.
"Shut your eyes, Norma, and count

 The royal couple planned to spend 2 day of absolute quiot and the king has intimated there will be no func- ti0ns in his honor until he has made his official visit to President Hoover at the White House next week.

 He said there should be no oppo- sition to his action because "the sheep are all subservient to the and that 1t was his wish Mintern should succeed him.
 Recent reports that was dying were false. :" said voliva.

 Suddenly Aimar became i'll. The siege of Antioch was raised. Into the tents of the Crusaders came the dreadful report that Aimar suffered from the plague and that death was inevitable.
 He was buried on foreign soil. But the line he started lived on. carrying with 1t traditions of gal. lantry and ability to face danger. He was a fitting ancestor for all the Bourbons.
 Tn the years after his death, up through the Dark Ages, his name was legend which inspired other Bourbons to carry on. His de- scendants included ~John of Bur- gundy, Charles. constable of France and Antoine de Bourbon. who as king of Navarro estab- lished the royal line in 1554.. geF3 4.a.

"the facts brought cut by commit tee reports at the White House con- ference show that out of some 2,500 rural cOuntiesin the country only 500 have any form of health ore sanitation whatever, and not more than a dozen of these have health machinery which is fully compar- able to that considered necessary in any weil-ordered city. To furnish equal opportunity to the children of the rural areas Is our next task in the future. he said.
 The committee on the School Child of the White House Confer ence on Child Health and Protec- ton held last fall. found that most rural schools suffer from the pover- ty of their communities and from isolation, and that well-trained teachers are necessary before health programs can be fundamentally im- proved in rural schools.
 The conference committe ap- proves the movement toward con- solidated schools in rural districts, and said 1t should lead to better health education programs.

 Then Bishop of Puy en veIay, he received with interest reports of the progress of the Christian armies against the infidel Turks who controlled Palestine. He was not a fighting man. 6 soldier, but he accompanied Raymond ", count of Toulouse. to the Holy Land as an apostolic delegate of this crusade, only to later become q real military leader. It was a tedious expedition, across Central Europe thruogh to Greece, then a voyage to Palestine. s
 Enthusiastic and hopeful that the crusaders would reach their goal, he looked forward to seeing gallant armies ready to march against the Turks and their Sara cen allies. He was bitterly dis appointed. "
 The combined armies were de- moralizcd. There was no organ 'ization, no discipline. Leaders were few and weak It looked like q hopeless case. There seemed no way out. But Aimar was q man of vast energy and resource :. His keen mind penetrated to the very core of the problem.
 One day he appeared before the leaders. Eloquently he pleaded with them to heed his counsel. And at last he prevailed.
 He laid before them a plan for establishing discipline, the one great factor needed for the suc- cess of any army. His enthusiasm was contagious. They caught his spirit.
 The armies were before Anti och, stoutly defended by the in- ndels. Half-hearted had been the attacks. Ainiar brought vigor.

 The history of the House of Bour. Don can be traced back to the days of the 1000 years ago About the beginning of the 17th cen. tury, Bourbon otcame king oi France and during the next two cen. furies members of this royal line. age were absolute monarchs of most of what is now France. Spain and Italy.
 The turbulent days of the French revolution marked the beginning of the decline in Bourbon power. They were finally driven from the thrones in France and Naples and after 1880, 1t was only in Spain that the Bourbons remained as monarchs.
 And now like the Hohenzolierns In Germany, the Romanoffs in Rus sia and the Hapsburgs In Austria. the Spanish Bourbons have been swept from the throne by the wave of democracy that came in the wake of the World war.
 It was the destiny of Alfonso XIII, born a king in 1886, the post humous son of the short lived AL fonso XII, to be king in an age marked contrast to the days when his ancestors ruled with unques- toned authority.
 From the time of the first of the line. Aimer the Crusader. ten centuries ago, the Bourbons were caught in the swirl of intrigues, wars and counter wars, assassinations. Some were dethroned and regained their thrones. Others met violent death. Some were wise rulers; some were cruel and stupid. All played big part in history from the ninth century until the present time.
 Henry W, first Bourbon king and died ingloriously with a knife in his back. Under the Louis kings who followed Henry absolute monarchy was established in France. The power of the ruler was su- preme. The feudal system controlled the masses until their condition be- came so deplorable the French revo- lution was inevitable.
 Louis XVI, a Bourbon, died un- der the guillotine with that great personality. Queen Marie Antoinette. Then for Il years no Bourbon was on the throne, but after the three brother of the executed ruler, was

 The Spanish branch of the Bourbons started with Philip V in 1700. It has continued with out break up to the addiction of Alfonso.
 The third branch of the family now extinct--was the Neapolitan line, rulers of the kingdom of Naples. It was started in 1759 with Charles III, later king of Spain, and ended in 1860 when Naples was incorporated into rapidly growing Italy and Francis II ab- dicated.
 The beginnings of the House of Bourbon are obscured in the black fog of the Dark Ages. Certain 1t Is that Aimar was the founder. He lived in the town of Bourbon PAT chambault in Central France, from which the house takes it's name.
 A pious youth, he early sought solace in religion and after years of study became a bishop. History would not have recorded him if he had not been such devout
