thought he was buzzing aroung you,
said Ray.
CUSAN changed the subject. but
- not for long. because inevitably
with Ray the talk turned TO men
and romances. Ray never was in
terested in distractions. After a
little sparring, Susan burst out with
the question closest 10 her heart.
What would you think-I mean
what would you do If you were go
ing to marry a person and some one
told you you'd be spelling his life
by doing it," she foundered.
Rays shrewd eyes searched her
face. What are you talking about?
I don't get you"
Susan began to outline little
squares and triangles on the tables
cleaning surface with her spoon.
Its this way" she said. I'm
engaged-it's a secret and you
mustn't tell any one-to boy whose
family is frightfully rich. His father
is going to cut him of without a
cent If he insists on marrying me"
Ray gasped. "It's just like in the
movies!" she exclaimed.
Susan rushed On, eager to TN
burden herself. well, that was all
right. We talked it over and he
didn't care and certainly don't.
But today his father came TO
see me and said I'd be running his
sons whole life If I married him. ["
Her voice broke. Il don't know. Its
sort of--got me. I don't know what

willing" Susan was frankly
aghast. Il was glad when he told
me it was going to be that way. I
thought it gave us a better chance
to make go of it.
But now I'm not certain. He's
always been rich and maybe he'd
be lost without all the things he's
been used to. Maybe he'd blame
me for being from his family and
friends. 1 could't stand that" she
finished YEARLY.

DAY
BY BRUCE CATION

A NOVEL by taxi driver about
L n taxi drivers really ought to be
worth reading. The taxi driver is
man set apart; he gets his own
unique slant on things, and he gen.
orally is packed with worldly wis
dom-not always of a kind that we
stay-at-homes easily acquire.
So, when he sits him down to
write novel, we have a right to
expect something interesting.
But Fifteen and Five" which a
taxi driver named Abraham Bern
stein has written with New York
taxi drivers as his principal char
acters, somehow fails to make the
grade.
1t begins nicely enough. We fol-
low young Max Bremen Of I re-
member the name correctly as he
gets his job, We get a look at the
drivers in their moments Of relaxa-
ton and we find out what driver
thinks about and how he feels as
he cruises up and down the streets
looking for business.
Then, just as his story threatens
to grow interesting, the author goes
into a prolonged skid. This Max
person is engaged to drive a mil
lionaire's daughter here and there,
and preSently-how it happens isn't
at all clear-they're parked on a
side street, chatting about the
things that really matter.
A few more chapters and they're
living in sin. AS the book ends
they're getting married, and Max is
on his way to medical school.
Fifth-rate sex novels are common
enough, heaven knows. Everything
considered, they probably have their
place in the scheme of things. But
it is disappointing to have this one
turn out that way. 1t started out
to be really interesting.
Fifteen and Five" is published
by Liveright, and sells for 81.

She had explained To Aunt Jes-
sic, who had remained singularly
unmoved by the news Of the girls

been Bob's father. Aunt Jessie
tactfully had refrained from asking
questions.
She had seemed gentler since her
illness. Aunt Jessie was looking
forward to making long visit 20
her sister, who lived in southern
Illinois.

told her abruptly few minutes
later. Scarcely conscious Of the di-
rection she was taking, she board
ed a street car headed for the busi-
ness district. She must do some
thing. She must keep active. She
stopped at a drug store telephone
booth and called Ray Flannery.

been keeping YOURSELF" Ray de-
manded. I've missed you like the

Can you have lunch with me?"
Susan asked. Ray agreed with ec-

the square, white topped table in a
sweet shop Ray stared at Susan
with frank interest.

she wanted to know. Susan tried
to explain. Her aunt had been i'll,

Susan smiled. She had heard
about Miss Smith from Jack War

unduly harsh.

Susan flushed. HE was talking

Her mind was IN confusion. Yes

Older people always we're trou-

thought. Stocks and bonds. houses
and money. What did they count
when weighed against her love Tor
Bob?
Bob had agreed with her. They
would be married very quietly. He
had an offer Of job on ranch
IN Montana. Some man he had
known at college was experimenting
with wheat and there was a little
tenant house they could have.
Susan had thought Of herself SIM

I know you wouldn't want TO
stand in his way-we all go through
these puppy love affairs"
She felt in daze. Was it true
that her love for Bob would bring
him only unhappiness and i'll for
tune? Would ne tire OF poverty
and Of her with it?
The poison OF the older mans
cunning barbs infected her heart.
Perhaps she and Bob had been
fools. Perhaps she had been wrong
10 think that life could be so sim
pie and straightforward as they, in
their rosy dream, had visioned it.
Through her misery dawned the
realization that her caller had re-
peated a question. She looked up,
her eyes clouded with painful re-
sentiment.

Suddenly through Susan's mind
flashed the thought Of the ranch
Bob had described to her-herself
in a printed apron. her hair blowing
in the wind.
It was a pleasant picture. She
wondered how she had allowed a
middle-aged man with dull con-
cept Of life to let her think she
could abandon It.
You're sweet, Ray" Susan said
humbly.

gets to st. Joseph county.
The Republican convention rules
aid them in this, for although pro-
viding that the nominating shall be
done by districts, which would place
the Third low on the list, yet the roll
call for votes will be alphabetical
and, unless changed, this places st.
Joseph county in a strategic po-
sition.
The perfervid followers and sup
porters of NJ. Bert Thurman, Fred
Lands, and James Ogden are seek
ing TO discount all the Seebirt talk.
incidentally, although the three
candidates will divide the forty
seven votes in the order named, the
reports are Lieutenant Governor
Edgar Bush will receive little or no
support from that county.
Thurman and Lands are vieing
for the bulk of the delegates. with
the former being given the edge at
this time.

MANY a furrow is being caused

the Governor nomination by the
peculiar political situation in st.
Joseph county, resulting in tieup
of its forty-seven delegate votes.
South Bend Republican delegates
are refusing to make definite
pledges Of support. while they are
waiting to learn whether either Eli
Seebirt, former mayor; or E. E.
Morris, banker and former old
Thirteenth chairman, will enter the
race.
The recent defeat Of the Frank
Mayr Jr. Democratic faction by the
Peters McNutt group is encouraging
Republicans at South Bend TO be-

chance of carrying the county and

The G. o. p. managers there are
reasoning that if McNutt is put over

this showing, will attempt to defeat
Mayr for the secretary Of state re-
