Good morning, Sonny" Sam said. You always button the last button of your vest as you put your left foot on the bottom step. What would happen if you bought a suit with five buttons on the vest in- stead of six?"
 Nelson Aldersea shook his head wearily. You'll never know be- cause you'll never catch me with a new suit"
 Fourth Aldersea joined them at the table. He regarded his son cold ly. Where were you last night, Nelson? You slink out night after night without telling me where you are going. Why don't you associate with people of your own class?'
 My friends are my own affair, Nelson said sullenly.
 Sam leaned forward. Stop it both of you! Listen to me. Int mortgage interest is due on the fif- teenth."
 Don't worry about the mort. gage" said Fourth. I'll take carS of that
 Nelson raised his eyebrows.
 When breakfast was over Nelson disappeared into the kitchen, wher, he could be heard talking to Mar tha Givens in a low tone. Fourtl stalked out the front door.
 Salesnlanship of books was no an art that appealed to Fourth. H made nine calls, and on no occasion Gid he succeed in interviewing hi prospective customer. By the tim that luncheon hour arrived ther was only one thing left to do. H telephoned Mrs. Eugenie Frye an told her that he had a new boo which might interest her.
 Mrs. Frye's tone was warm, eve eager. can you come today? M lunch is merely q lonely widow meal. You couldn't join rne?"

Fourth accepted and hung up the receiver wearily.
 Sam Sherrill came into the Ex- press building at one o'clock. She saw Freddy Munson leaning against the wall in front of the elevators; the collar of his overcoat was turn ed up at the back and the brim Of his felt hat was pulled well down over his eyes. He was reading the Express.
 They ate at the Gem lunch.
 Lets talk about you" Freddy said. T know that your father, James Sherrill, was a rich man. That your mother, who married MT .Aldersea after your fathers death, is also dead I want to know how the Sherrill money was lost. l gath CT that Aldersea was responsible. My motives are almost noble. Won't you tell me?"
 All right. Fourth is a great six foot, white haired child, Freddy. Mother had plenty of money, and we lived in the big house. She adored Fourth so blindly that she didn't realize his weakness. She let him take charge of her affairs"
 T see. He lost everything"
 He tried to make us billionaires. The result was that we had to take up residence in the stable. There was enough left to give us a few thousand a year. Mother had learned her lesson She left the stable and money to me, and she left me the job of keeping Fourth and Sonny out of the poor-house. "
 Doesn't Aldersea do anything?"
 He sells books. His income isn't enormous. But he is confident that he'll sell his inyention-some kind of an electrical circuit breaker"
 Freddy frowned. How about your half -brother?"
 Nelson is twenty-one. He makes seventeen a week"
 T see" Freddy shook his head.

Chapter ?. WHAT PRICE FREEDOM?

Sam laughed "Ill promise not to marry him tonight"
 Good Will you have lunch with me tomorrow" Freddy asked.
 All right" said Sam.
 The next morning Sam went down to the living room where the breakfast table had been set. Mar tha Givens came in with ice water.
 Martha was the maid of all work She was a pretty little brunette, inclined to plumpness and pessim- ism.
 = Martha retired to the kitchen Just as Nelson Aldersea, Sam's half brother, came down stairs, button ing his vest.

CHAMP NICHOLS
SUFFERS HURT
Fast, Lively Bout Likely
In Main Event For
Thursday

Due to Hugh Nichols, light
heavyweight champion. developing
an infected ear, Charlie Leahman,
the Crying Dutchman." and Pat
O.Brien, the Irish Gargoyle, will
clash in the main event OF the
wrestling card inaugurating the
Legion Sports Arena here Thurs
day evening, II has been announced
by Promoter Ernie Stephens.
The promoter received O wire
from Nichols at Mexia late Tues
day afternoon stating his a was
in such shape that he would be un-
able to wrestle this week.
The Card
"I had counted or Nichols
heavily for the opening card, but
Leahman and O'Brien should make
an excellent match" Stephens
states.
The new lineup Is:
Charlie Leahman VS.. Pat O'Brien.
Stecher VS.. Tony La Blanc.
Red Lyons VS.. Jack Pierce.
Robin Blue VS.. Bill wilkins.
Leahman almost caused a riot In
Harlingen last night when he threw
Stecher two out OF three falls. The
Crying Dutchman" is unpopular
to a marked degree because he lets
his caveman tactics crop out at
times. He drop-kicked Stecher out
Of the ring last night and a near
riot followed. Be that as It may,
Leahman is one OF the best CRAP
piers that ever wrestled in this
section. He has tanned down on
the rough stuff and Is wrestling
in good form. The Dutchman took
a fall out OF Jim McMillen recent
~. and anyone who can do tina. is
plenty good. McMillen and Londos
drew a record gate in the Garden
several months ago.
Pat Is Popular
O'Brien. Leahman's opponent
here, Is a popular battler who
knows his holds and sideplay. He
not only shows the fans lots Of
wrestling, but he keeps them enter
tanned with his antics at the same
time. When he puts on a hold, he
smiles like d gargoyle. He will be
able to give the Dutchman a real
run for his money. What's more,
had better not attempt to
this Celt.
The remainder OF the card is
correspondingly good.
An orchestra and the Legion
Bugle and Drum corps will en-
liven the opening card.
The bouts are scheduled TO get
under way at BIS p. m.
