night nurse appeared for a split
second, her cap slightly awry.
Change has come" the little
floor nurse told Lame calmly, but
don't go in now"
She touched the young girl on the
arm with compassion. BE brave"
she said. She, too, was young. She
turned away that Lame might not
see the bright drops trembling on
her lashes.
Ages passed. Glasses clinked at
the end of the corridor in the diet
kitchen. A tall, middle-aged nurse
went by with a glass Of orange juice
in her hand.
ooh, Cod" prayed Lame again,
deeply, wildly. "Oh, God, remember
me now"
She wanted to go into that room
and she dared not. She stared I'M
seeing at the hands of the little
watch she carried. Thirty minutes
past II.
Night clubs somewhere we're just
beginning to take on life. People
were dancing, laughing. Young girls
with painted mouths were flirting
across white tablecloths. And inside
that quiet, orderly room a grim
struggle was going on.
Lame put her hand across her
eyes.
When she opened them the young
inferno was standing there. Was
he, oh God, was it possible?-was
he smiling at her? She reached
out, snatched at his hand. Some
thing to hold to.
He said, Eyes. It's good news.
She's over the top-we think"
Liant went down on her knees
She said, Father, we thank Thee
=" just before the black faintness
swirled around her.
THE room was full of sunshine
L and the scent of dollhouse
roses. Cass sat up in the middle of
a big bed, little paler and notice
ably thinner. Otherwise, she was
not changed so greatly as Lame had
expected her to be.
1t was the fourth week of Cass'
convalescence. AS soon as she had
been able to be moved, Mrs. Clees-
paugh automatically had COM
manded that she be brought to
Wildacres.
Everything had been arranged
the drawing room, the nurse to &C
company the invalid Mrs. CleeS-
paugh had sent the big car to the
station to meet them, had well
coined Cass Barrett to her house
with royal dignity and simplicity.
"She's-well, she's simply mar
velous," Lame had said, out of a
thankful heart. She wondered why
she ever had thought the old lady's
manner family donlineering. Now
Mrs. Cleespaugh seemed simply
perfect to her. She had paid the
hospital bills, had invited Cass to
be her guest Indefinitely.
81 don't know why she does all
this for us, I'm sure" Cass had
said, tears of weakness and graft
tude springing to her eyes.
Elsie, saying goodby to them at
the station in Philadelphia, had
added, roughly comforting, why
shouldn't she? She has so much
it would be a pity if she couldn't
share some of it,"
Cass was established in the SUM-
NEST of the south chambers. She
still had nurse in spite of pro-
tests that she no longer needed one
and now Mrs. Cleespaugh was
suggesting southern trip.

The knob of the door began to
turn. Like one searching the face
Of the imnipotent for a sign of re-
lenting, the two girls gazed at the
IRON gray man who emerged.
How is she?" gasped Lame.
Slowly the man shook his head.
Not too bad" His tone held a
professional cheerfulneSs, meaning
less, more terrifying than gloom.
The girl felt he had spoken thus to
a dozen anxious watchers
May go in to see her now?"
His look probed her IF you'll
promise not to disturb her"
She actually promised. She would
noS allow ene tear to flow.
TINE still figure on the bed moved
Il ever so slightly. There was a
low moan and the nurse moved
swiftly to her patients side. Alert
she stood there, then turned, finger
on lip, to sign the watcher with her
to silence.
Just the same" she murmured,
Lame looked up quickly, hopefully,
at the movement. But at the
nurses words the girls pallor deep
ened.
She settled again in her chair,
her eyes never leaving the quiet
figure under the coverlet. Cass was
quiet now. Before she had been
delirious and that had been awful.
"She mustn't die-she won't die
she can't!" This Lame repeated
over and over to herself as if it
were magic litany to chain Cass'
spirit.
She mustn't! She wont!"
Thus the girl had prayed, had
hoped, all the long day She had
been at the hospital for three days,
now, and the awaited crisis failed to
arrive.
At night she dreaded going with
Elsie back to the hotel. She lay,
long hours, in the darkness, every
nerve straining for the telephone
message she felt sure would come.
In the dawn she would rise, with
shaking fingers dash the icy water
into her red-rimmed eyes. Ex-
hausted, she would dress, wait for
the hour when she might creep to
her mothers side.
1t was all terrible, trrible. She
had not known before what anguish
could be.

so Years Ago
In Legislature

Bitter debates were held in the
legislative session fifty years ago
over the problem of compulsory
education. The same problem, in.
different form, has come before,
the 1881 session in bill providing
abolition of school attendance
officers.
Representative j. w. Ryan, Mum
Gle, introduced the compulsory ed
ucation bill and gave several pro-
longed arguments on it's merits.
The committee on education re-
ported favorably on the bill in a
divided report and the representa-
tives reconlrnitted the bill to COM
mittee for amendments after vot-
ing down the unfavorable minority
report.
Ryan pointed out that there
were 1927 illiterate persons in
the state, which he thought "a
sorry fact after forty years trial
of the common school system"
Opposition was led by Repre-
sentative G. w. D. Gibson,
Charlestown, who believed opinion
was not ripe for the state to step
between father and child.
"That might be done in England
and Prussia" he said, "but not in
a free country" u. 3. Bergman,
Shelbyville, believed the parents
should decide whether their chill
1ren should go to school.

FARM DEBT REDUCED
Louisville Bank Receives
Principle of Loans.

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 13.-
Farmers of Kentucky, Indiana,
Ohio and Tennessee have paid the
Federal Land Bank of Louisville
nearly $12,000,0O0 on the principal
Of their loans since the bank was
started in 1915, according to the
statement in the Dec. 81, 1890,
quarterly report of the federal farm
loan board made public here to-
day. This leaves its loans outstand-
ing in these states amounting to
$121, 1854, 458.
Due to the drought, the bank
statement, naturally, shows more
delinquency in the payment of in
stalments on loans than it normally
does, but out of a total delinquency
Of 1855 ,050, the bank has set up
reserves amounting to $213,971.
Further its statement shows a re-
serve for foreclosed farms amount
ing to $781;304 which completely
charges off such real estate as an
item of value. In addition to these
special reserves, the boards report
shows legal reserves of $6,679, 200
and other reserves of 81 100000 and
undivided profits Of $1,310,011.
