Night Out

trees.
The path became difficult to see,
and more than once they stumbled
over ruts and tussocks Of long grass.
Presently they found themselves in
woods and knew that they were lost,
and could not make the last train.
I'VE shall have to 60 to an inn for
the night" said Jane resignedly.
"How much money have you got?"
"Ninepence and my return ticket"
Jane had a chilling. No more was
said for several minutes. They could
smell bluebells all round them.
Suddenly Polly squeezed James
arm and stood still.

golden bubbles tossed into quiet air,

Jim's feet echoed noisily upon the
asphalt sidewalk Of Deercourt Road.
1t was quarter to two. Polly, with
any luck. would be asleep. II she were
not, he would say to her:
Il must have a night out some
times" In spite Of his care, the garden
gate squeaked. "Everybody's got to
have a night out sometime" he told
himself, and then came to a sudden
stop.
He thought Phyllis was standing
close beside him. But it was the little
lilac tree by the front door which smelt
so like her as to bring her very self
quite near to him. He drew a deep
breath and for the first time knew
how much he wanted her.
From this discovery he recoiled

must not think Of it yet. One thing at
a time. Now he had to get into the
house and upstairs without waking
Polly. His key slid into the lock. The
door swung open and the stuffy, in
door smell Of the house blew out at
him. As he passed the hat stand, he
got a Whit Of mackintoshes and, later,
on the stairs. of the polish which Polly
used for the bannisters. His dressing
room smelt of boots.
AL was quiet in the room next door.
He undressed in the dark. All the time
he was listening for some movement
which should show that she was rous-
ing. He could hear nothing save the
ticking Of his watch.
And now for the last fencel Slip

At last, tormented by doubt. he

This was after the second time they
moved. The first time it had been be-

tree. though dry. was hard. So they
went on. and Polly found the remains
of a hut made by gypsies out of brack-
en- and boughs. Into this they crept
and found a soft bracken bed to lie on.
1t was very nice until Jane began to
wonder what would happen if the gyp-
sizes came back.
They might be rude" she said.
Polly began to giggle. The hut was
her find and she was not going to see
any drawback to it. But twenty min
utes later something bit her. And then
something bit Jane. who suggested
that this was a legacy from the
gypsies.
The rest Of the night was spent
under hedge. They made no attempt
to sleep. And all night long they
talked. They talked until the faint
stars went out one by one, and color
came back to the fields. The first bird
whistled in the budding thorn. The
sun rose upon two dishevelled women
in search of their youth.
1t soon became search for the rail-
way station. At last they came to the
railway line and Jane said that if they
walked along it, they would be sure
to come to a station. So they trudged
stifi1y over the broken gravel and
wooden sleepers. Polly was carrying
great boughs of budding beech which
she meant to put in the copper bowl
in the drawing room. Already she had
begun to wonder what she should say
to Jim.
Il shouldn't say anything" advised
Jane.

sorry we'd been so snappy. 1t seems
such pity - ! mean, if you'd really
like picnic, I'd love it. really don't
see why shouldn't"
'Ireally don't see Why l shouldn't"
thought Jim, as he hung up the tele-
phone.
He had just agreed to 60 with Phyllis
and her party on the river after dinner.
He had agreed in hurry because he
had not been able to think Of any good
reason for refusing. Not, at least. any
reason which he liked to give to Phyl-
lis. But now, having burnt his boats,
he found himself obliged to weigh the
pros and cons.
The pros were simple. He wanted to
60, and that was that.
The cons were less easily dismissed.
First of all, he would be home very
late, not until two o'clock. and he had
told Polly that he would be back by
midnight. And this was risky. 1t would
be difficult to explain how q client had
kept him up 90 late ~ that.
Really this evening decision meant
a crisis. He could not hope to 60 on
like this much longer. Either he must
see less of Phyllis o. he must resign
himself to Polly finding out. He had
been fool to tell lies about it. But he
had really done it to save Polly's
feelings, because it was true that she
would not fit in with Phyllis set and
yet he had not liked to confess that
he was accepting invitations from
which she was excluded.
1t was not as if there was any real
harm in it. He was a faithful husband
and all that. He was fond of Polly.
She was good little creature. But
there was nothing any more to dis
cover about her. not an idea in her
head which had not been repeated to
him a hundred times. Not that he
blamed the poor girl. Very few women
can manage to remain mysterious
after fifteen years of marriage. Of
course Phyllis but then Phyllis
was different. And Why her husband
should be such a s,uly brute was more
than Jim could understand. He didn't
know his luck.
"You could tell they'd been having
another row." thought Jim, by the
way her voice trembled on the tele-
phone. Poor little girl! l wonder what
Polly would say if I threw things at
her like he does"
Not that he ever would. But If he
was to 60 on being nice. kind. faith
full husband, he must have a little
relaxation. a little jam to put on his
eternally domestic bread and butter.
The more he saw Of Phyllis the kinder
he would be to Polly. 50 that it was
quite all right really. Phyllis had
asked him to join them on cruise
that summer: she was making up a
party. He had told her that it was i'm
possible, that he must accompany
Polly and the children to the bungalow
at Littlehampton. But now he was
saying to himself, Il really don't see
why I shouldn't"
I'VE must stop giggling," said Jane.
There's absolutely nothing to giggle
at,
Il like giggling at nothing" said
Polly. Il haven't done it for years. Is
any of that to{fee left?''

She consulted a small timetable and
found that there was another train
from Haycombe Junction, in the next

 Plenty of Excitement
 Of the two events, the lads in red presented a packed house with plenty of excitement. They trailed the cloth iers until one minute to go in the first half, when little Lawrence Hill, after Dewey Baker had tied the score at 18-all on clever bat-in shot, rang the bell from the center of the floor to put the Firemen two points ahead.
 To this slim margin they clung desperately, with Hollmann, Blake and Hill raining in the buckets. A desperate fourth period drive for Sabin's fell just four points short, and the clothiers saw their first-half title chances fade with their second straight loss.
 For the victors, Doc Hollmann led in scoring, accounting for ten points. For the losers, rough Dutch Behr- ends shared game honors with Holl- mann, scoring the same number of field goals and three free throws for eleven points.
 The snappy Tallapoosa outfit add ed to their popularity by drubbing the Douglas Eagles from the opening whistle. But Claude Erskine and Co. earned the plaudits of the huge crowd by fighting the big gobs to a finish. Several times Erskine and his boys launched drives that brought them close to the Bluejack- cts but the seamen had too much on the ball. John Neimi, scrappy Eagle, was given big hand by the crowd when he was knocked out on a rough play and forced to leave the . game.
 The entire Tallapoosa squad look ed like championship stuff last night snd have battery of deadly scorers i1 Tanghe, Paine, Gissberg and Fro ale. Big blonde Tanghe was the evenings big scorer, with IT points. Erskine was on and made over half of his teams points on seven bas- kets and one free throw. Paine rolled in 12 markers.

Rule Was Violated

In a sharply worded letter,
Chairman Riley E. Elgen, of the
Public Utilities Commission, made
the indirect accusation today there
had been a violation of a District
Supreme Court order and an or
der of the commission regarding
the transfer of a substantial in
terest" in ownership of the Wash
ington Gas Light Company.
Addressed to Arthur H. Dean,
associated with the Sullivan and
Cromwell law firm in New York,
which represents interests owning
the gas company, the letter par
ticdlarly questioned the manner
in which United Founders Corpo-
ration had obtained ownership of
$50 shares of beneficial interest
in Washington and Suburban Com.
panieS, a common law trust, which
owns "a per cent Of the gas COM
pany.
Auction Planned

notified that United Founders and

TAXICAB RATES
T0STAND.

Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat
of the District Supreme Court to
day upheld the Public Utilities
Commission order establishing the
present 20-30-50-70-cent taxicab
zone rates for the District.
Bernard L. Henning, president
of the Cab Drivers Protective
Union, attacked the order in an
injunction suit several months
ago, and the case was heard last
week.
Suit Last of Kind
Mr.. Henning claimed that the
Public Utilities Commission lacked
authority to prescribe fares, and
that the schedule we5 not based
on a fair return for taxicab own
ers and operators, but on a purely
arbitrary figure.
The suit was filed just two days
before Congress enacted a bill
which prevents appeals being
taken from Public Utilities Com
mission orders, except on ques-
tions of law. and the Henning
suit is probably the last of its
kind to be heard in the local
courts.
Mr.. Henning'S counsel had re-
lied upon a decision of Justice
Jesse C. Adkins several years ago
which held that the commission
had no authority to regulate taxi
cabs. The decision was in con-
nection with an order that would
have required taxicabS operating
here to be equipped with meters
Recently Empowered
It was pointed out during argu
ments, however, that Congress
during the last session expressly
empowered the commission to
regulate taxicabs because the ap
preparation bill contained a pro.
vision carrying funds for rate-mak
ing hearings, although it con
tanned a rider which prohibited
use of any of the appropriation
for installation and inspection OF
meters.
