CHAPTER NINE

A T the first reference to Larry
L n Harrowgate Ellen was pink
checked and starry-eyes. From
her position on the edge of the
bed Myra saw the sudden radiance
that lighted her sisters face.
She knew then that Ellen had
found the real thing. God give
her luck" whispered Myra in her
soul. Give her more luck than
I've had" She smiled at her young
sister.
GO ahead, Ellen" she said calm
ly enough. GO ahead about your
man before curiosity kills me-"
There isn't much to tell" Ellen
confessed in her shy, eager voice,
Nothing serious, I mean. All I
know is that Larry-likes me-"
But YOU"
you haven't any idea how I felt,
Myra, when I first saw him." Ellen
admitted, dropping to the bed beside
the other. He's tall-did I tell
you?-and red-headed. He was
coming across the dance floor to-
ward me and all of a sudden some
thing went click"
"I know" murmured Myra SYM
pathetically, meeting Ellen's eager
gaze. Il know exactly what you
mean"
Ellen abruptly remembered Bert
Into her own happiness came q
sudden, sharp pang for her sisters
sake. But underneath was the
selfish little thought that she anc
Myra we're ifferent-differen as
Larry was different from sober
plodding Bert. She hated herself
for it, but there it was.
"How'S Bert?" she asked uncom-
fortably. "Is he coming tonight?'
"Bert's fine. He's coming,
Myra answered listlessly. But it.;
you I want to hear about. Wher
are you going to see this tall, red
headed man again? Did he say any,
thing-def1nite?"
"He did," answered Ellen proudly
I'm seeing him this afternoon fol
tea and I'll bring him out here
awfully soon. You'll love him, Myra
know you will.
Hes just grand! I can't tell you
much about him really. I have tt

home with heaps of news this after
noon

added, Hes not at all the type O.

cluded awkwardly.
do you know what he doesP"
"You mean," Ellen laughed, "d(
I know if he has any money? In
almost sure he hasn't. He's an artis
and they're always as poor al
church-mice, aren't they? But
don't care"
CHE raised her young arms abov,
~ her head and stretched luxur
iously. How could love, delightful
shining love be fettered with carr
or trouble? What did money mat
ter?
Both girls began to dress will
the speed of long accustomed prac'
tice. 1t was nearly 1880.
"You didn't tell me his name,
The Indianapolis times., 1932-02-12

I observed Myra, as she pulled over
her head dotted Swiss dress limp
from many washings.
Ellen paused In the act of put
ting on a shoe. She had been re-
fiecting that somehow she must
manage new ones.
Its Larry" she said shyly.
Larry Harrowgate. Isn't that
grand name?"
Larry Harrowgatel"
do you know him, Myra?" Ellen
exclaimed, delighted. Wasn't I
right? Isn't he a darling? Where'd
you meet him?"
The dress dropped over Myra's
head. 1t hardly displaced a hair
of the smooth coiffure, but Ellen
thought her sister looked pale and
tired. Older than usual
'I've never met Larry Harrow
gate" she answered in an odd
voice.
Then why were you so sur
prised?" Ellen asked casually, adj
justing her stockings to sheer
tighness and standing up.
She was not apprehensive. Myra
sometimes had a way Of being
mysterious over trif1es. But as
the silence heightened she felt
herself growing absurdly nervous.
What is it?" she asked anxious
ly. do you know something about
him?"
"Oh, Ellen, I can't"
eff you've heard anything about
him that you think would turn me
against him, you're wrong. won't
believe that you have. It's simply
not true"
She was incoherent in her nerv-
BUSINESS, angry because Myra would
not speak, and afraid. too, that
Myra would. What was she con-
ceeling? Something about Larry?
But what?
81 don't want to tell you, FL
len," Myra walled. But I have
to-"
Ellen saw that the older girl
was fumbling among the news
paper clippings that she kept in
her drawer Of the old-fashioned,
marble-top dresser.
They were mostly pictures. Pic
lures of men playing polo and girls
on the sands of the Lido, pictures
from gay Florida masquerade
parties, skiing parties at Lake
! Placid and in the AlpS-Myra
clipped and filed them away. Ellen
always had been little con-
temptuous of Myra's collection.
There was a streak of yearning
wistfulness in the older girl, a
vague reaching out for gay scenes
in which she could not be a par
ticipant.
Ellen was sympathetic to-
ward this trait. Now she was
completely at sea. Myra tossed
a clipping to her.
TT was only photograph OF a
L man and girl who had stopped
for a moment on a sunshiny tennis
court. The man in the striped
blazer was Larry. The pretty, petu-
lant girl who had twined her arm
through his Ellen never had seen.
Her eyes fixed on the caption.
"An important engagement is
that of Miss Elizabeth BoweS,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ezra
BoWes of New York and Paris, and
Mr.. Lawrence Harrowgate, son Of
Mrs. E. T. Harrowgate and the late
Mr.. Harrowgate. The wedding is
set for early fall Miss Bowes will
be remembered . :"
Ellen'S heart twisted sickeningly.
She did not speak and only stood
staring, staring at the picture.
"I remembered him." Myra said
painfully, closing the dresser's open
drawer and turning around again,
because I only cut it out on Tues
day. It's an odd name"
Ellen reused, mechanically folded
the clipping and handed it back to
her sister. Myra did not return it
to her collection.

startled eyes on her, she was con-

There was a loEg silence IN tne
cluttered dining room, where the
sunshine, already growing hotter'
trickled through curtains OF cneap
theatrical gauze and shone on the
fine old mahogany table where two
pretty girls sat with their pretty
dark mother.
Ellen. the soft flush receding from
her cheeks, was thinking OF Larry
Harrowgate-his gray eyes and his
quick infectious laugh, the way he
had said he was glad he had found
her. She was thinking that shH
would see him coon, soon.

and alarmed, was thinking too
Something had arisen to menace
the bright fancies she had been

what was there to say? What
was there to do? A certain hard
ness in Ellen's square flushed jaw
warned here that tears would be
useless. so she held her silence.
Myra's thoughts were dartlng
from Bert to Ellen. She was re-
membering the way she had loved
Bert in the beginning, was remem-
bering the way that love had taded
with endless waiting.
Surely Ellen could not IN the
brief space of one night have met
another Bert. Surely life could not
be so cruel just when 1t hao
seemed things were to be easier,
inst when. she admitted honestly,
it had seemed that Ellen had at
last met the man who was to res
cue them all.
Did you mean anything speclal,
Ellen?" Myra spoke at last with
effort and hoped that Ellen's jeer-
ing laugh would prove her wrong.
But Ellen did not laugh.
mo. 1 didn't mean anything
special," she replied uncomfortably,
after an appreciable pause.
That's why you weren't pleased
over the flowers, isn't it?" Myra
persisted. "It was because you met
some one you liked better last night
at Dreamland? You spoke of meet
ing some one there. 1t was a man,
wasn't it, man that you liked?"
Her breath rose and fell on a
long sigh.
Eyes, I did, Ellen replied defiant

from her sister to her mother and
back again. Furthermore, hope

furiously. You and nlother-both
of you-make me sick. We're poor.
All right, I can recoup the family
fortunes by trying to trap a rich
man into marriage. That's fine
and honorable solution. That's just
great! 1t makes no difference

CHE burst unexpectedly into tears
~ and rushing from the table ran
into the bedroom and flung herself
upon the bed.
When Myra followed and SAT
down on the bed, she refused tc
speak except to insist hysterically
that she be left alone.

tearfully, resisting Ellen's efforts tC

WELFARE WORK

Rising Sun Community has
opened it's hearts and homes to
care for forty-two children
from New York City for two
weeks. No doubt the hostess
ses have had very interesting
experiences and we would like
to encourage them and other
likeminded people in other
parts of the county, to venture
in similar home mission work,
by helping care for just as in
teresting little folks who are
dependent upon Cecil county
for their care and support. 1t
may not be practical to take
these children into your homes
for two weeks, but why not
adopt them by proxy for from
one to fifty-tWo weeks. II
Cecil county can reach out and
help New York City, let's prove
it can also take care of its own.
We are ready and anxious to
help you in this most interest

JAPANESE BEETLES DOING
DAMAGE

There is a heavy infestation
of Japanese Beetles in the vi
entity of Elkton and Ricketts,
Mill. The beetles are doing
serious damage to grapes and
to fruit trees. In addition to
this the beetles are feeding
heavily on wild grapes and
other. plants along the hedge
rows and in the wooded areas
along the Elk Creek.
Through the cooperation of
the Plant Quarantine Bureau,
The State Entomologist Office
and the County Agents Office,
one hundred Japanese Beetle
traps have been placed in the
infested areas m n t on d
above. These traps have been
placed as a demonstration to
show how many beetles can be
caught with an infestation
such as exists here.
1t is OF especial interest TO
note that isolated infestations
off the main roads may devel-
op, just as this one has, appar-
emily over a period of four or
five years without being dis
covered, even by the property
holders in that vicinity until
defoliation occurs.
In order to prevent serious
damage from the Japanese
Beetle it is important that all
organizations and individuals
cooperate in controlling it.
Trap, catch and destroy every
beetle possible. Crops and val
liable plants may be protected
by spraying. Further sugges-
tions may be secured from the
County Agents Office.

HOG CHOLERA OUTBREAKS
IN STATE DURING JULY

During the month of July
hog cholera was reported on
II premises in Maryland, COM
pared with an average of 25
outbreaks for this period dur
ing the last IL years. Sixteen
were classed as backyard out
breaks, and 1 was on a farm
where hogs are bred and rails
ed. Sixteen were primary, or
new outbreaks, and l was of
unknown origin.
Charles, Howard and Wi
comico, each had outbreaks;
Caroline and Montgomery 2
each and Baltimore, Frederick,
Prince Georges and Talbot
had l each. Feeding table
scraps containing infected
bones, rinds and scraps of pork
apparently was the cause of Z
outbreaks. The purchase of
new stock, which later proved
to be infected with cholera,
was responsible for 5 out
breaks, and the feeding of raw
material caused 4. insufficient
information was obtained on 1
outbreak to permit a determi-
nation of it's origin.
In the II outbreaks reported,
241 hogs were involved. Thir-
ty, or approximately II per
cent were dead, and "a, or APP
proximately IA per cent were
sick before the outbreaks were
reported. OF the 241 hogs in
volved in the outbreaks, ap-
proximately 70 per cent were
in garbage feeding plants.
OF the II outbreaks reported,
II were in herds of 9 hogs or
less, were in herds of 10 to
IA, and 2 were in herds of so
and over.

n A OST of the earth has been
mi discovered. More and more
we are probing the secrets
of the air. But the ocean remains,
in many ways, the great mystery.
And since nearly three-fourths OF
the earth's surface is covered by
oceans, it will probably be many
years before scientists can ex-
plain all of the wonders of the
deep.
One of the never-ceasing sources
of wonder is the quantity of food
which comes out of the sea, and
the nutritive value of this sea
food. Science explains this, in
part, by telling us that as the
land becomes poorer, the sea be-
comes richer. By the processes
of erosion and other factors, the
land is being continually impover-
ished and the sea enriched. Wa
ter which seeps through the soil
dissolves soluble salts and min
erals and these eventually reach
the sea. Man has even fastened
this process by deforestation, and
the seas have become a great
storehouse.

COMPARING THE TEETH
TO MILLSTONES

Comparing the teeth to mill
stones, DR.. Richard G. Leonard,
Chief of the Division of Oral
Hygiene of the Maryland State
Department of Health, said:
whether the teeth-often cal
led the 'millstones' of the body
function satisfactorily as
grinders of the food we eat, or
whether they become like the
proverbial 'millstones around
our necks,' constant sources of
annoyance, depends upon three
main factors. 1. Structural
strength-resistance to wear
and decay. 2. Constant super
vision-correction of defects.
8. Scrupulous cleanliness.
Our teeth resemble mill
stones in depending upon their
structural strength for their
ability to perform their task of
grinding food. In the actual
mill, only those stones that
have a definite resistance to
wear and destruction can be
used as grinders of grain.
Teeth must have similar quail
tiles of strength and resistance
to decay. In both sorts of
millstoneS, structural strength
depends especially upon the
elements that go into their
makeup. The framework of
our teeth is composed largely
of calcium and phosphorus
salts. Their resistance to wear
and tear depends to a consid-
cradle degree upon whether
the diet of the eXpectant moth
er and of the growing child has
been sufficiently rich in the
mineral salts and vitamins
that give this quality to the
teeth. These necessary ele-
ments are found in all dairy
products, in the green leafy
vegetables and in certain
fruits, especially oranges and
tomatoes.
'In selecting stones for a
mill, great care has to be taken
to be sure they are free from
imperfections. Equal care has
ito be taken to see that the
teeth are free from defects.
The teeth are not always per-
feet as they grow out from the
gum. Sometimes they are pit
ste@ with tiny crevices, that will
/ deepen or extend if not attend
. ed to, promptly. This can be
done easily, painlessly and
permanently, by a competent
|. dentist.
! "As to our third factor
vcleanliness. Dirty millstones
are unsatisfactory as grinders
of grain. They must be kept
clean if they are to perform
their tasks properly. So must
