 "When left him" Mrs Fowler said, he was quieter. but don't know how long it will last. Will you come upstairs ?"
 The two disappeared and Gypsy sat down. frowning. It must be now Or never. Mrs Fowler would f nave to listen to her! Twice she heard the child crying. It must have been ten minutes before the woman returned.
 Mrs Fowler had been weeping She caime directly to the girl. fixing her frightened eyes on Gypsy's What is it you want?" she asked Out of the unknown. inspiration had come to Gypsy. It was not what she had intended to say. Il was intuition-born in that brief instant Mrs Fowler, had paused or the threshold There was no time to consider.
 Gypsy stood up. Her voice was hushed. five come to tell you that they know!" she whispered dra- matically.
 Who? What do you mean?'
 Eve come from the trial-Nina ' breathlessly. five come to tell you they know she didn't do it. They've got the whole story. Everything. I've come to warn you-!'
 Mrs Fowlef's eyes were glassy She was staring at the girl. Gypsy sure she was right, went on relent. lessly:
 "Go to my husband and tell hin the truth." she whispered. "Only hurry! He'll help you. They'll bt easier on you if you confess. Tel them he was cruel to you!e You've got chance if you hurry. No ont will ever know that I've been here promise you they'll never know!'
 Mrs Fowler had buried her fact 1 in her hands. Her shoulder rocked. When the words came the! were indistinct:
 "He threatened to kill Bobby.' she moaned. TT had to do it." Gypsy put her hand on the othel woman's arm. Tell them that, she said. They'll be easy witt you. Did he-strike you?" | Mrs Fowler shook her head. He voice was still muffled. "He hi Bobby!" she said. "He was jealous of him. And now Bobby's going tt die to punish me! Oh, I've beer nearly crazy! Bobby isn't going tt get we'll. He's going to die becaus' I've been a wicked woman! I didn' mean to do it. I tell you. I swear didn't! Oh. Bobby, Bobby! Oh what will do?"
 "Hush-you'll disturb the boy" Gypsy ordered. Mrs Fowler Wal weeping hysterically. There was nc time to lose. Bobby isn't going tot die" the girl went on. Don you see if you tell the truth things will be all right? Listen, have { cab waiting outside. Get your coa an dhat and I'll take you righ down"
 | "But I can't go. can't leave | Bobby!" the woman protested. | Do you want him to die? DO you want him to die because yo, let them punish Nina Roberts fol what you did ?.'
 It was all illogical but it was, ef fective. Almost before Mrs Fowle knew what she was doing Gyps, had her in the taxicab. Throughout

 Gypsy interrupted Just a min ute. Mrs Fowler she said. "Td better tell you at once Pm not the nurse."
 "Why, what do you mean?" I'm not the nurse-Miss Thomp- son or whoever 1t was you ex- pected. I've come to see you about something terribly important. couldn't tell anyone else and thought it was best to let the girl misunderstand.'
 The woman's face had hardened Who are you?" she demanded And what do you want here?" Gypsy spoke in lower voice: "I'm Mrs Wallace she said. "l saw you in the courtroom the other day. My husband is Nina Roberts attorney"
 Mrs Fowler put up one hand to stop her. "I can't listen to you. '' she said. Upstairs my little boy is lying sick maybe dying I've got to go to him. You'll have to leave"
 1t was terrible to see the woman agony. This was nothing like the fainting spell in the courtroom.
 But. can't go until I've told you" Gypsy began. The ring of the doorbell interrupted. Mrs Fow- Ter hesitated. Then she opened the door.

There seems to be very vague conception of child labor laws. A great many people hold the impress sion that there is a national law reg ulating it. but such is not the case. Let me quote from the report issued by the White House conference in 1880:
 There has been no federal regula- tion of child labor since the federal child labor tax law was declared un- constitutional in 1922. The legal reg ulation of child labor is entirely by state laws, employment of children during school hours is indirectly re- stricted by state compulsory school attendance laws.
 "Child labor laws vary greatly in different states, both in adequacy of their provisions and stringency of their enforcement. Usually they set up certain standards relating. as a rule, to age, education, and to the physical condition which a child must meet before he can be employ ed in specified list of occupations. They also limit his hours of employ ment during the first years of his working life and prohibit him from employment in certain hazardous occupations
 
 the minimum age for work is IA or higher, at least during school hours For some kinds of work seven states have an age minimum of Is to 16 In 15 states and the District of Co., lumbia the minimum age provisions apply to all gainful employments and in 28 to a more or less com prehensive list of employments. Five set no minimum age except in fac tories and certain dangerous or haZ- ardous occupations; and two, none except in certain dangerous or haZ- ardous occupations.
 | "EducatiOn. In one-third of the states the educational standard foi going to work is on completion ot at least the eighth grade, while more than one-third of the states either set no educational requirements ol i fix no definite grade standard. ! "Health. More than one-half oi the states require physical exam ination as preliminary to going tt work
 "Hours. Three-fourrths of tn, states prohibit the employment, a least in some kinds of work, fo more than eight hours a day O working children of certain ages though some permit exceptions Four have a 4-hour week for chil dren. Nine permit children under 1t

gesting, but Gypsy refused assist ance. When the first tin of cookies went into the oven the girl stepped back with a sigh.
 "What time fis it?' she asked. It was 11:30. Time enough for Jim to have telephoned if there were any news. Surely there shoulud have been word by this time. Gypsy went to the door and propped 1t open so they could hear more clear ly if the telephone rang. There was another tray of cookies to be filled Presently the air was filled with pnngent, spicy odor. Want me to look at 'em?" Ma l tilda asked. Cookies burn awful easy"
 Gypsy drew down the oven door. The cookies had puffed up and some of them had run together. She turned the blaze lower and returned ito the mixing board. Soon the first tin was out and the second baking. "They're good" Matilda admitted srudingly. Gypsy munched a warm cookie and nodded. satisfied.
 You'll have to write down the recipe for me-" she told the cook. "Where'd you learn how to make them?'-
 Matilda. raised her hands in a gesture of mock despair. How should know?. Ginger cookies I've always made them the same way. German girls learn how to cook when they're young. One of seven, I was. used to help my mother with the baking when I was ten years old"
 "Where' did you live when you were a girl?" Gypsy asked.
 Minnesota. I've got two brothers there still"
 It was not the occasion for Gypsy to be interested in Matilda's rela- lives. As soon as the last tin of cookies was out of the oven she left the kitchen.
 Gypsy went into the living room and gazed depectedly out at the street. Suddenly she heard an un- familiar noise. She ran to the front door and out on the porch. Far ir. the distance she heard boy shout ing. "Extra-Extra!"
 She could not see the newsbov hut the voice came from the right. Gypsy started down the steps, but then the telephone rang shrilly. She turned but before she was in- side the house Matilda was calling:
 Telephone, Mis- Wallace"

And he was with the Lester mills until that time MT Lester kicked him because he didn't have a report ready one night :" "He what?" Sue sat down limp ly.
 Kicked him. Hit him on the shins. He wouldn't stay at the mill after that, but I think MT Lester helped get him his other job. He was sorry later but he thought his money would excuse any lack of chivalry. Some people think that it does"
 She spoke more slowly then. "The way I've figured all of this out | is that he was down on the world | (. and when Sybil Lester culti- vated him, he let it go. After all. her father owed him something, he probably thought"
 How soon are you leaving ?" Sue asked.
 This afternoon at four o'clock. The coroner hasn't finished with the body yet. I have to get home as soon as possible. My mother 5 not we'll and I have some children" l You have children?" Sue ask ed. But you look so young!"
 I'm married and I have three to support. My husbands dead"
 ''You can't go home until you have seen MT Lester" Sue told her. 'He should know what he's done. He's responsible for you z. for your whole family. I'll take you to him.
 Sue called Jack and asked him to come to the morgue. Then she put

 "why. Sue.'' Jacks voice and eyes were reproachful. No one be- lieves that your father was ever guilty of anything"
 '.Mr Lester would like to scatter that belief. And I'm afraid of Sybil, Jack. I'm so scared of her!"
 She drove along with him, after all, but she stayed in the car while he took the girl into MT Lester's office.
 When they came out they drove the girl back to the morgue before they talked of the interview with Sybil's father

the ride the woman kept her eyes. covered with a handkerchief. She wept systematically. Gypsy was ex- cited. Over and over she repeated instructions.
 Mrs Fowler was to go to the little room at the right of the en- trance and speak to the bailiff. She must say she had an important message for Mir Wallace. Very inn portant! After Jim. appeared she must talk to him privately and tell him. it was she who had killed her husband. Jim would know what to | do next. :.
 When the cab stopped Gypsy !, pulled the other woman's hat down to hide her face. There was little 1 likelihood that Mrs Fowler would be recognized. | ,.I cant come with you" Gypsy sasid. but I'll be praying for Bobby Goodby!" s
 She told the driver to wait until the black-coated figure had disap- i peared through the entrance to the courthouse. Then they drove back to the Wallace home. 4 | When she entered the house Gypsy was amazed to find 1t was only 10:3O. There were letters on the table in the hall. She glanced through them. Nothing interesting. She tried to busy herself at half a dozen tasks and gave up each one in disgust Only one thing occupied her mind, What was happening in l the courtroom?
 There were moments when she wondered if Mrs Fowler's nerve had failed her. Had she been able to reach Jim?
 1T should have stayed down 1 town" Gypsy thought. There might be extras on the street. No l it's better for me to be home"
 So long as she was alone she I could not keep her mind off the trial. She went upstairs and changed to house dress, then de- scended to the kitchen. Matilda was putting clean paper on the shelves of the cupboard for canned supplies.
 Matilda" Gypsy asked, "how dc you make cookies?'
 The cook looked around from hei perch on the top of the stepladder Haven't you ever baked cookies? she asked incredufously.
 | "No. but I'b going to. I'm going to make some now"
 But Mis- Wallace. Fridays the baking day. If I'd known you Iwanted cookies I'd have made them early"
 | "I'm glad you didn't" Gypsy in lterrupted. "I don't want you to make the cookies. Matilda. want to make them myself"
 The cook looked dubious. What kind of cookies were you going to maker"
 q don't know. Molasses cookies I guess. No ginger. We've got some ginger, haven't we?"
 "Yes, Mis- Wallace"
 "Where's the cook book ?'
 There's some books up there on the shelf in the cabinet but if you want the kind of ginger cookies make never use recipe.
 Well, then, you can tell me what to put in." Gypsy lifted down a large yellow mixing bowl and hunted thruogh drawer for spoons. Matilda's gaze was disap- proving This was certainly an un- accustomed procure.
 '.I can stir up batch in nc time" she suggested. 'I can make 'em right after lunch"
 Gypsy shook her head. They may be terrible cookies" she said E"but Pm going to make them my self. Now what's the first thing put into this bowl?"
 For half-hour she stirred and mixed dough and rolled it into thin sheets to be cut in discs. Matilda was at her elbow. prompting, sug-

 CHAPTER XXIX.
 A young girl in a soiled apron. answering Gypsy's ring, looked out doubtfully through the partly opened door.
 "Does Mrs Fowler live here?'' Gypsy asked. :,
 "Yes, ma'am, but I don't know if you can see her.
 You don't understand, Please tell her that I--"
 "Oh, are you the nurse ?'
 The door opened then and the girl stepped back for Gypsy to en- ter. The pause was barely per- ceptible. Then Gypsy nodded.
 Yes" she said. .'I'm the nurse. Will you tell Mrs Fowler I'm
 A child's cry, fretful and high pitched, rent the air, and the girl turned. 'tI'll tell her you've come, :" she said and disappeared through a doorway.
 Gypsy had time to inspect the room. It ran the width of the house with a group of windows making a window seat facing the street. The room was well furnished though with no particular distinction. There was a piano at the far side, a piece of Chinese embroidery thrown over it's top. The furniture was a matching ''set" of heavy, overstuffed design with here and there a piece of mahogany. The rug looked expensive. There were newspapers in an untidy heap on the davenport and Gypsy caught glimpses of the black headlines de- scribing the Roberts trial. It must have been a day or two since the room had been dusted. Gypsy mo- ticed that there were ashes in the tray beside the davenport.
 At the sound of footsteps the girl arose. Mrs Fowler-she recognized her immediately-appe in the doorway. The woman's face was drawn and worn. Her hair was knotted back carelessly. She looked older than when Gypsy had seen her in the courtroom.
 "You're Miss Thompson?' she said to Gypsy. Il wasn't expecting you so soon but Pm glad you've

Who can resist freshly grown as- paragus? There are many people who enjoy canned asparagus but Nancy always contended that those folks were not such gourmets as the. ones waited for fresh asparagus sea- son before using the vegetable.
 In choosing asparagus try the stem near the lower part with your thumb nail If the nail goes in cas- fly the stalks are tender Even at that it may be wise to peel off the outer covering down near the end ot the stalk. Asparagus may be tied into. bundles for serving and laid in steamer or the bundles may be stood upright in deep container like upper part of double boiler, The salted water cooks the lower and tougher part but the steam makes the blossom end sufficiently tender.
