"Come on, Joseph, let's take a
walk"
Sure, dad, I'm ready"
Joseph was always ready to take
walk with his father.
Got on your galoshes and
everything? Alta boy! Where do
you want to go?"
ooh, I tell you--lets go and see
the bears"
Fine! Wen go and see the
bears. But will you make a bar

"Sure, dad"
II should like to stop In at the
free organ recital for few min
utes on the way home. There's go

Joseph liked music about as
much as he liked spinach, espe-
cially the kind his father always
chose to turn on when the radio
was having one of those ethings

The man looked whimsically n

could be one too and listen to

Joseph never forgot that time

She discovered that she had
started to Sues. She waited for

into seat. 1t was showing. Great
fakes were falling. A few chill
dren in red tams and brief blue
coats were holding their faces up
to catch the cold loveliness.
And as suddenly as though it
had never been, Ruth felt the UNI
happiness so away. A sense Of
exhilaration took its place. She
was freed. She could live. She
wasn't bound down by Il bell that
rang at S:15 and another one that
closed the day at four or there
abouts. With swift. glad rush
Of unhappiness she realized that
adventure was just beginning.
Maybe she wouldn't have II job!
All OF a sudden she didn't care.
She had kept faith with herself
anyway.
Ruth found Sue in the living
room, crushing gold colored
beret over her dark hair. Tying
gold colored scarf into an auda-
cious flaring bow around her
throat.

The girls were rather quiet as
they drove through the shifting
snowflakes to the Page home.
They parked the car near the en-
trance and Sue lifted the great
knocker on the door. Suddenly
she realized that she was being
rather foolish. She would have

A maid let the girls into the
house. Sue hoped that Arnold
Page would come to see Joe Dex-

But 1t was Joe Dexter's slim,
silvery voice that came echoing
through the hall.

know you were here. Is there any

I'm rushing away but I have an

They started at every ring of the
telephone and then sank back look
Ing at each other with bleak eyes
and faltering hearts.
The great hospital seemed to
have swallowed up little Mike as
though he had never existed. At
II o'clock Ellen, haggard and
heavy-eyed, remembered that she
had not notified Lorene of her abb
sence from the store. She whis-
pered to Myra and slipped to the
telephone, haunted by a vision OF
Molly's face. II anything happened

Lorene answered the call and
Ellen tore her thoughts from the
unthinkable future. She explained
what had happened and was back
on the bench again. Hours had
never been so long or 50 empty.
1t was 10 o'clock. Then /, 2, and
nearly 8. Still no word. DR. Ellis
appeared but he could tell them
nothing. At 8 o'clock he approached
again.
This time Ellen read the news on
his weary face before he spoke.
! Good news! She had not known
until that moment how great her
fear had been.
Hes going to pull through" the
doctor told them. I'VE were afraid
for a while that he wouldn't rally
from the operation.
"Oh!"
Molly began to sob. She strug-
gled to her feet, tears running down
her face, the first tears she had
shed since the accident. Her cold
desperate fingers tugged at the doc
tors sleeve.
Where is he? Let me go to him
at once"
I'm afraid you can't now" DR.
Ellis said gravely.
The nurse, standing at his elbow
interviewed. "That will be impos-
sible. The little boy Is very tired
now and sick. He's in a ward with
a number of other children who
also cannot be disturbed. Our visit

John will thrive all the better for

begun to receive regular milk from
his mother his weight will increase
steadily. At least we hope so.
Life Is q very orderly proceeding

getting him used to n schedule

His longest waking interval is in
the morning when nurse gives him
his bath.
Johns other needs, like those of
all new babies, are very simple,
He asks only to be warm, dry, and
protected from too strong light.
He has to adjust himself gradual
ly to an Independent existence. He
has only two fears-the fear Of
falling and the fear of sudden
loud noise. Mrs johnson and the
nurse are very careful to let him

CHAPTER XVI
The morning at the store had
been a happy one for Ellen. The
pleasantness OF the evening before
fingered through the opening hours
Of the day.
Noon came. Ellen and Lorene
yawned, looked at each other in
terrogatively and began tidying
up for lunch. Lorene tentatively
suggested q newly discovered tea
room with bangup 75-cent
luncheon. They set off and talked
shop through the lazy, unhurried
hour. Ellen found 1t pleasant to
lunch in such a comfortable fash
ion.' Afterwards when they were
strolling back to the store, Lorene
said suddenly:

"Get three or four. Green is a

you can go on home and not bother

loot won't be delivered till morn

"You don't know how proud"
Ellen began inarticularltey.
Forget It! II you make any
blunders I'll come down hard
enough! Not that I think you
will"
II was 4 o'clock when Ellen fin
ished with the manufacturers and
walked UP Pine street toward
home. She reviewed the pur-
chases she had made and found
them good. Underneath lay the
pleased consciousness that she was
through with Barclays for the
day. Myra should be home from
the library. Tea and mullins In
the kitchen, perhaps. Ellen's steps
fastened.
She entered the dusky hallway
and had started up the stairs
when Myra, wearing an old faded
apron and bedroom slippers. her
head wrapped In towel, came
flying down. Ellen saw disaster
in her sisters eyes.

were not renewed. Scully contended
enterprise was encouraged in the system
by renting the land and leaving the
improvements to the tenants.
Refuses to Sell Land.
Many of his tenants, he pointed out,
later acquired money enough to buy
their own land. But they did not buy
from Scully. He held it to be a wise
rule never to sell title.

Kansas tenants have signed leases
promising to raise a stated percentage
Of alfalfa. Scully estate agents ex-
planned that when other crops failed
alfalfa could be depended upon TO pro-

Tenants Of the lands in Kansas have
complained at times of the power of
Scully agents in deals between farmers

over the leases, with regard to the
houses, barns and other improvements.
Scully during his Illinois visit, how

rentals when crops were bad, and had
