Despite the haste OF the aerial
commuters to get there, these are
dull days In Wall Street. Recently
% page boys were laid off by the
stock exchange. But, despite the
dullness of business, the boys only

When wage cuts came. their wages
were also cut. There are some COM

their stock exchange connection,
they receive discounts when making
purchases at various places. Also,

There was enough room in
the carriage house for one auto

of heating it. The doors hung

there was no lock on them.

For a second Susan was

made up her mind to break

But this wasn't the time to
break the news. Wallace would
have to be told about it first,
and his ring and watch be re-
turned to him.
That afternoon at four o'clock
Susan, walking down South
Main Street toward the Public
Library, felt herself a part Of
the bustling life Of the wide
gray thoroughfare with its
crowded sidewalks, its honking
automobiles and changing street
cars.
Allen saw her when she was
half a block away from the IL
brary and came toward her.
But she waved him back and
held up the four library books
that she was carrying for him
to see.

No one could make toast like
Anna. Crisp and golden brown
outside and soft inside, melting
with butter.
Uncle Worthy took a piece of
it as if he we're doing her a
favor. He cleared his throat
and leaned back in his chair
so that he could look up at her.

IN THE FAMILY - By Beatrice Burton

On the table in the middle Of
the room lay the volume of Wal
pole that she had been reading
in odd moments for the last
week. She settled herself in
/ Johns leather rocker and began
to read. A week before when
she began it she had decided
that it was one of the most
beautifully written and enter.
tanning books she had ever
opened. But now, after a page
or two, she laid it down on her
lap.
Susan was one of those rare
people who are truthful with
themselves. She had told Anna
that she would see Allen and
ask him to leave the side door
unlocked. But she knew that
that wa not the reason she
was sitting up waiting for him.
Toward IL o'clock the wind
that had been shrieking around
the house all day died down,
and directly afterward it began
to rain.
At ten minutes after eleven
she heard a street car stop at
the corner and a minute after
ward she saw Aliens tall
broad-shouldered figure come
swiftly along the sidewalk, his
head down against the storm,
and turn in at the gate.
She opened the front door
and stepped out on the porch.
There was a fresh wet smell
in the air, a smell like spring,
and the air was warmer than
it had been in months.
"Allen!"
He stopped, raising his face,
a white blur, in the darkness.
Then without a word he came
running up the steps and into
, the house.
CHAPTER Xxx
There's a fire in here. Will
you come in for a minute? 1
want to talk to you" Susan
turned toward the parlor and
he followed her.
With the door closed and Al
len standing on the Bokhara rug
between the familiar fireplace
and the old garnet-colored sofa,
the shabby room became an.
other place for Susan. An un.
real feeling that she was in a
dream where everything was
happening just as she had
wanted it to happen, came over
her. The sound of the storm
outside and the lateness of the
hour seemed to shut herself
and Allen away from all the
rest of the world.
II wanted to ask you not to
lock the side door tonight" she
said. "Anna's gone out to a
party. and just before dinner
she called up to tell me that
she's lost her key-the key to
the back door. 1 told her I'd see
to it that the side door was left
unlocked for her"
When she finished there was
a little silence broken by the
faint noise of the fire.
Susan" he said, using her
name for the first time. Susan
- is that everything that you
wanted to say?" His voice was
very low.
YES" said Susan and her own
voice went thick in her throat.
You feel toward me the way
I feel toward you. You wanted
to talk to me, didn't you?-Just
as I want to talk to you"
Susan's throat frightened still
more. "You don't - you
couldn't" she said. How could
you know it?" And then she
was in his arms.
She never knew whether he
came closer or whether she took
a tiny step toward him and into
his arms.
How did I know it? How do
we know anything?" Allen said
to her presently when they were
sitting close to the fire, on the
hearth rug, their arms around
each others shoulders, their

ing" he said. ''You were out
until four o'clock. You woke
me and Mrs. Broderick from q
sound sleep by swapping elec-
trio lights on and off all over
the house."
"Was dark" Anna explained
meekly.
Uncle Worthy paid no atten-
ton to that. Sunday night
you were out until half past
one. 1 had to get up and let
you in because you had forgot
ten your key" he went on in
his heavy way. You're always
forgetting to take it, and you're
out late too many nights every
week. Your work suffers,
Anna" He tapped the table
smartly with his short thick
fingers. The nails, too long for
a mans hand, clicked on the
mahogany.
II go by the Scandinavian
hall or by Herbst'S house, and
never no other place" Anna
frowned at him in complete be-
wilderment. II been go there
for nine or ten years, Mr.. Brod-
erick. No one ever say before
that I should not"
mo, we've never spoken to
you about it before, Anna. But
we've noticed it, and we're very
tired of it. We think you've
come to the end of your USE
fulneSs in this house. For that
reason-and for two or three
other good and sufficient ones
we are letting you CO." He
took an envelope from the
pocket Of his housecoat. Here
are your wages for a week and
a letter Of recommendation that
Mrs. Broderick wrote for you
yesterday afternoon. You're free
to go any time after lunch.
But if you'd like to stay on
here until you find another
place you may"
The maids throat moved as
she gulped. Thank you. Better
I go pretty soon, I think" she
said and began to back away
from the table. Maybe stay
to help Susan get Sunday din

MISS Susan!" Aunt Edna
corrected her, as she had cor
rected her a thousand times be-
fore.
Miss Susan" The pantry
door closed noiselessly upon
her.
IT don't know how you could
do a thing like that" Susan
exclaimed. "Why, Uncle Worthy,
it was bad enough to discharge
her without notice after all
these years-but to let her
think that you were doing it be-
cause she stayed out late a
few times-If that wasn't the
most cruel thing that I ever
saw anyone do" Words failed
her at last.
Her uncle took off his glasses
and began to polish them with
an old silk handkerchief that
he carried for the purpose.
would you like me to tell her
the truth?" he asked with an
air of great patience and wis
dom. Because the truth is that
your father has borrowed more
than a thousand dollars from
this family's income during the
past year, and because of that
we can't pay her her wages any
longer. Those are the facts o.
the case. Would you still like
me to give them to a servant?"
With that he unfolded the
second section Of the morning
paper.

ENGINEER is
SPEAKER FOR
LIONS CLUB

Recounting his experiences in
his three trips to the Philippine
Islands, Col. D. @. McComb, con-
struction engineer for Ell Centre s
new post office, gave the Lions club
members an interesting talk at
their meeting this noon at the
Barbara Worth hotel
McComb's s first trip was in 1904
when he went to the Islands as a
school teacher. One trip took him
there during the war and for the
other, as he was construction en-
gineer in the government employ.
Changes which have occurred in
the Islands since 1904, customs of
the people, their modes of living
and his own experiences constituted
his talk.
F. E. Jarvis, postal inspector who
arrived in the valley to assist in
the dedication of the new post
office, was a guest and was intro
duced to the club, expressing his
appreciation at being able to be
present for the dedication
Estelle Livingston played three
delightful piano solos which were
enthusiastically received by the
Lions.
Colonel McComb, Jarvis. T. j.
Douglas were guests of the club,
Van Harmer of San Diego was a
visiting Lion, and Charles Bratton
was chairman of the day.
