CHAPTER VII
Cynthia Thinks.

Doctor B1gham nad told Cyntnla
that morning that she might go home
in few days.
To go home! Usually those words
mean to a hospital patient foretaste
of heaven. eff could just go home!"
But Cynthia was the exception to
the rule. She chung to each day in
the hospital as though it were a refuge
from danger. She dreaded to go home.
dreaded indescribably to take up her
life again. She longed to prolong her
convalescence indefinitely, safe from
, Marguerite's notebook and pencil, from
the monthly struggle with bills, from
important decisions to be made at the
Odds and Ends.
'Orange juice" said the nurse, COM
ing in with small tray on which was
. a frosted glass and plate of sweet
crackers.
Cynthia smiled at her. "Orange
Juice between breakfast and dinner,
milk between dinner and supper
you'll soon have me waddling"
'You can stand a good many pounds
and still not be overweight" was the
somewhat dry answer. The girl was
far too thin. Doctor Bigham knew
what he was talking about when he
ordered raw eggs beaten up in cream
and other nourishing foods.
The nurse withdrew with the empty
glass. She was not "speciar'-Cyn-
thia had passed the necessity of this
luxury some days ago.
She lay back on her pillows and
went back to her thoughts.
So many worries awaited her at
home! Cary and his alimony and his
talent for getting and losing jobs, the
girl in whose company he had been
seen so often of late; Miss Mona whose
innocent inroads on the monthly in
come played havoc with Cynthia's
plans; the Cap'n who believed that
smoking did not hurt him because he
wanted to believe it,
She had hazy recollection of hav-
ing turned over her job to Geoff; of
making him promise to pay all ex-
penses out of her own money; but it
was a recollection she had pushed
down every time it showed signs of
coming to the top of her mind.
Cynthia writhed as she realized
that by now Geoff knew all the dis
graceful secrets she had worked so
desperately to conceal from him.
"He's probably sold all the family
skeletons to a medical college for
what they would bring" she told her
self. "Oh, why did he have to come
out to Denver this year? And why
did have to fall ill.," She hid her
face in the pillow.
There came to her the memory of
the day she left college She had
been so happy there 1t had been a
dream to which she had looked for
ward for years. Dad and she had
talked college since she was twelve.
Two perfect years of it. the beginning
of third-and then had come Cary's
letter. That letter had changed Gym,
thia overnight from a girl whose only
concern with money had been to sec
that she had plenty of it in her purse
when she went to New York for her
vacations into a woman racked with
financial anxieties.
She remembered yet that terrible

STATE OFFICES
SPEED AID TO
HOME OWNERS
$1,000 Loan Applications
On File at Seven
Branches.

E. Kirk Mckinney, state manager
Of the Home owners Loan Corpora
ton in Indiana, announced today
that number Of loans granted have
increased 40 per cent this week over
last week. and that before the first
Of the year, more than 1000 loans
q week would be granted in the
state.
At present time, approximately
$1,000 applications are on file in the
seven state offices All Of these
have been graded and 23,5O0 are
entitled to loans under the Home
Owners Loan Corporation act. To
date. 663 loans have been made.
Mckinney called attention 10 the
small number of his personnel,
which under the law is determined
by the state population. Ohio,
Michigan and Illinois with their
larger population, are operating
with five times as much personnel
as Indiana, yet this state is in third
position as to the number Of loans
actually granted. Ohio has granted
1917, Michigan 898, and Indiana
663. Both of the former state set
ups were in operation three months
before the Indiana branch was
established on Aug. 16, 1888.
GoAd Job Done Here
Special agent r. r. Remie, one Of
the twelve district inspectors, here
to ASST Mr.. Mckinney in granting
blanket" loans TO more than lab
closed and class B" state banks
and building and loan associations,
complimented Mr.. Mckinney upon
"the good job" being done here.
Under Mr.. Remies direction, Mr..
McKinneys idea of the blanket
loans will release approximately
s125. 100000 now being held inactive
in the loan associations and banks
III Indiana.
Cooperation of the state bank
ing department and bankers and
loan associations throughout the
state has, according to Mr.. Nc
Kinney, aided greatly in strides al
ready made in furnishing relief to
the small home owners.
More than one hundred new ap-
plications are being received daily
in all the state offices, and now that
the period of education" is over
and additional personnel can be
hired in the state organization, the
granting of the 23,500 applications
entitled to relief will be accom-
plished within the next five months.
New Office Opened
BY the first Of the year. both
Hammond and the South Bend
Offices will be granting 100 loans a
week, Richmond fifty and Terre
Haute seventy-flve loans week
Evansville and Fl. Wayne branches
will increase their loans by that
time to 100 a week each. and the
main office in Indianapolis VIII
reach more than 500. All loans in
the state also must be approved by
the Indianapolis Office before grants
can be made final.
In an effort to speed the investi-
cations of applications and result
ant detail work, special sub
branch was established today in the
Federal building at New Albany un-
der the Evansville branch.
The New Albany sub branch will
supervise all applications from ad-
iacent territory. Leonard Rauscher
Evansville branch manager, will
announce the personnel for the New
Albany office.

XTEST could see that the de-

to get a coup on him. but there was
nothing that he could do about it.
So he returned a club and North
trumped with the six of spades.
North led the king of diamonds
and then played the queen of dia-
mondS. overtaking a dummy with
the ace. The king of hearts was
played next from dummy, followed
by a third heart. which North ruffed
with the seven of spades.
Mr.. Law now had managed to get
rid of his two excess spades-one
when he trumped the club and one
when he trumped the heart. He now
returned the eight Of diamonds and
won in dummy with the jack.
This left West with nothing but
the jack and nine of spades. while
North held the ten and eight. The
seven of diamonds was returned
from dummy.
West was forced to ruff, and re-
gardless of which trump he played,
the declarer was bound to make his
ten of spades. thereby losing only
one spade trick and making his con-
tract.
