CUDDENLY, Betty's mood seemed
- to change. She said. oh. come
along, Rolf. We were due at the
Jamiesons' half an hour ago" She
put hand on his arm as though
to indicate that a truce had been
established.
Turning to Janet she said, Tell
nv mother we were here. will
YOU? I'll call her sometime to-

A moment more and they were
gone. Janet walked to the win
dow and looked out. Completely
dark outside except for lights in
the windows of the house next
door. She turned again toward
the room. What an attractive room
and what hideous scene to have
taken place there!

He had never mentioned her
never spoken Of her since the day
Janet had met them together
That seemed significant. Younq
men often mention girls who are
casual acQdaintances. It is the
one enshr.ned deeply in the heart
about whom they are reticent.
How could she do it?' Janet
asked herself Why, any girl III
the world should be proud of jeff S
love- Proud Of jeff. himself. too He
had wit, attractiveness and he was
loyal, dependable and understand
ing
And here he was breaking his
heart because Dolores preferred
someone else. Janets own opin-
ion of the girl was not high but
since jeff loved Dolores, Janet
wanted him to win her jeff was
too fine to be cheated in that way.
TANET felt there was a new bond
- of understanding between them
when she told him good night
She said with a sudden rush of
feeling Oh, jeff, you've been such
good friend You helped me just
by listening tonight. Maybe we can
help each other. If there's ever any
way-if there's anything I can do
for you you'll tell me- won't you?"
TT tell you. Thanks, Janet"
She slipped her hand into his,
pressed it and then disappeared into
the house.
Several times during the next few
days Janet thought of that CONVEX
satiOn.
But there we're other things to oc-
cupy her mind Mrs. Curtis decided
suddenly to 20 to the lake Dr.
Roberts thought the change would
be good for her, and it was settled
that she was to leave the following
week IT was amazing what a burst
of activity this decision called forth
There was shopping and packing
to do, reservations to be made at the
hotel where Mrs. Curtis always
stayed All of the servants except
Bertha were to leave for their re-

Silver Bay, sc Mrs Curtis as
sured her, was a very quiet resort
Some Of the families had cottages
Some of them stayed at the Lake
Shore or the BayView hotels, but
the same families came back each
season.
n spite of the fact that Silver
Bay was so quiet. Mrs Curtis or
dered three new chiffon dresses, a
new dinner gown and several wash
silks for mornings She bought
three new hats and four pairs OF
shoes. and there we're ever so many
smaller items for her wardrobe.
Janet bought herself a white
frock. a very simple dress suitable
for summer evenings. 1t was longer
than her street dresses, with tiny
sleeves and low, rounding neck
She put the dress on Sunday eve
ming and came downstairs.
Dusk had begun to fall. but there
were no lights burning No one was
in sight. Janet walked through the
hall and into the library. Buster
seeing her, jumped down from 8
chair and came toward her, pur-

Janet picked up the cat, strokec

was thinking of a night year age

Prohibitionists On The Run As Senate
 Prepares Beer Bill
House Smashed the Dry Forces Yesterday and Put Them Into Complete Rout-Senate May Not Act Until Thursday

, The 3.2 per cent of alcohol per- mitted under the house bill seems
 unlikely to be changed, although
 when the house passed a similar
 measure last session cautious sen-
 ate judiciary committee lawyers
 devoted 125 pages of report to
 demonstrating that the percentage
 should be reduced to 3.05. The judiciary committee at that time extended the legalization to
 3.05 per cent wine and fruit juices. It also inserted provisions forbid
 ding newspaper and radio adver- tisement of the beverages in dry states.
 Beer this time comes before the senate purely as a beverage meas
 ure and will not be referred to the judiciary committee. The tax of $5 barrel levied in the house bill
 probably will not be disturbed. It
 is calculated to raise from $150,-
 100000 to $200,000.000.

 Washington, March 15 - (U.P.) - Congressional prohibitionists were on the run to-day as the sen' ate finance committee was called to approve 8 beer bill assured o1 early passage.
 Under the schedule approved by democratic senate leaders, Pres ident Roosevelt will be able to sign this week the bill modifying the Volstead act to legalize beer. The brew will go on sale Is days there after, in states which permit it.
 The house with a whoop yester- day rolled up a 316 to 97 majority for unrestricted manufacture and sale of 3.2 per cent beer. It was the first time since the beginning of prohibition that house drys fail- ed to record at least 100 votes for their cause.
 Chairman Harrison summoned the senate finance committee to meet on the bill at 10 a. m. He said he expected to be able to re- port it favorably at noon.
 Senate Majority Leader Robin SOH Sdlu luc IlCdoolC "oNAN taken up as soon as the Roosevelt economy dictatorship bill was passed. He believed debate prob ably would begin tomorrow.
 Senator Borah, republican, Idaho may try to put in the new bill a prohibition against sale of beer tc minors. There are indications oi considerable support for such an amendment. Western senators, es- pecially those from the apple and grape districts of the Pacific Coast are eager to legalize wine and fruit juices along with beer. Floor dispute will center around those issues, with the question of ad- vertising possibly entering in.
 The house bill is without limi- tation on sale or manufacture. ex- cept to guarantee that dry states shall be protected against impor- tation of beverages forbidden by state laws. It permits unrestricted advertising of beer

DISPUTE OVER AGE

Wood choppers cutting down trees on Sylvan avenue felled a giant oak yesterday that has stood near the roadside for over two centuries. The men had differ ence of opinion about the age of the tree. Most of them agreed on z25 years, but one of them was positive that it was five or ten years older than that and wanted to make a wager that he could prove it.
 We'll, there was nobody around at the time who remembered when the tree was set out and as a re- suit no dfinite date was agreed upon, although there was no doubt in the minds of those present that it had looked out upon the district for some time prior to the coming Of the white settlers.
