As an Independent wage-earner. making her own way in strange city with all the pride in her free dom that sine had expressed to Bobby a little while ago. she ney- CT admitted even to herself that this metropolis sometimes seemed too big, too needless, too compli- cated for one lone girl to cope with; but in the bottom of her heart there was a secret fear of it., a feeling that she might some day desperately need someone to fall back on in time of need, someone who could protect her from these unexpected accidents which she dimly foresaw in her futuTe.
 Larry Glenn was made to order for such a mood. He was solid, capable, experienced, full of the wisdom that comes only from years of battling with the world. Jean knew that she could look up to him, trust him, rely on him just as if he were her own father. To be sure, he was barely 30; but when you are 21, as Jean was, anyone who has reached the great age of 30 seems to be very ancient and exceedingly wise.
 Not only was Larry older and stronger than either Jean or Bob- by; he was familiar person--al- most a relative, 1t seemed. He came from their town, Maple- hurst; he knew their parents; they had know him since earliest child hood; and Bobby, as well as Jean, had the feeling that either of them, in case of need, could ap- peal to him and be sure that what ever needed fixing would be fixed without delay or the asking of needless questions.
 "What're you doing now?" asked Jean. And how come you're in Dover?"
 "Well," said Larry, I'm law yer, you know. Right now I'm do- ing some work for Uncle Sam, and l just got transferred here."
 "You're working for the govern

ment?" said Jean. "What sort of work is it, Larry?"
 Well" he said, "the last thing I did was investigate the circum- stances of bankruptcy case in which a business man tried to con- ceal some 50,0O0 worth of assets from his creditors. It was dry as dust, and I'm sure you wouldn't care to hear about 1t. Suppose you tell me what you're doing here."
 "But we told you," protested Jean. I'm working for MT. Mon- tague, and Bobby's selling autos"
 "No, mo-" said Larry, smiling at her. "I mean herein the Gold en Feather"
 Bobby chuckled. ..-...
 "Jean wanted to go stunning" he said. "She wanted to see life in the raw. guess she was hoping that we'd see lots of wicked people behaving evilly in here. She wanted both shock and a thrill
 Jean made a dainty little face at her suitor.
 1T did not! We just-well, I'd never been in a night club in my life before. And I'd heard people tell about this one, and l knew my boss, MT. Montague, comes here pretty often. And then one day this MT. Lanning was up in the office to see MT. Montague about something, and MT. Mon- tague knew I'd never been to a night club so he introduced me and MT. Lanning said I ought to come down some time, so-" Larry Glenn laughed.
 "So that's the way of it, eh?' he said. "Well, now you're here, what do you think of it?"
 "To be honest with you, it's much-oh, much quieter than I'd thought it would be-" she con- fessed. There was a trace of dis appointment in her voice.
 "What'd you expect-Roman or gies, or something?" asked Bobby mockingly. She made another face at him.
 "Well, it is quiet" she insisted.
 "Quiet?" said Larry. "When that orchestra is playing you can't hear yourself think"
 "She means people are behaving themselves too we'll" suggested Bobby. /
 "Oh," said Larry. He gazec thoughtfully at the little glass vase in the center of the table, in whicf reposed one rather discouraged looking rose. "Now listen, you two chHdren--you don't mind gettint 8 bit of advice from your elders? They shook their heads expect antly.
 "Well," he said, speaking slow | ly as if he were choosing hi | WOrOS CdTelully' AudyoC ~ DS | good idea for the two of you t be just little bit careful abou frequenting places of this kind to often. Night clubs are funn places. Some of them are perfect iy all right, and some of them aren't. You want to go a littl slow"
 "But this one-why. it's as re spectacle as hotel dining room as far as I can see," Jean objected
 q know, know. l don't mea that you're apt to get into braW here, or anything like that. Bu sometimes some rather peculia things go on under the surface" l The eyes of the two young peo ple were wide with excitemen and Bobby leaned forward an asked, How do you mean"
 "Oh-" he paused, and took ou a. cigaret. You never know jus who you're rubbing elbows witl l

 "Don't rush me-" he said. T only just met her. She's kind Of q neat little number, at that
 He let his gaze wander across the room to the table where Jean Dunn was sitting with Bobby Wal lace and Larry Glenn.
 "Who's the guy with herr" , asked the black-haired man sud- denly.
 "Boy friend" said Sandy.
 "No, not him-I mean the older one"
 Sandy looked at Larry Glenn.
 ''Never saw him before," he saia. '.He wasn't there when went over"
 The other man took a longer look.
 .I don't like his looks," he said unexpectedly.
 "What's the matter with him ?" asked Sandy.
 'f don't know. He just looks kind of like trouble. that's all. Know who he Is, Art?"
 The proprietor of the night club shook his head.
 "He's a new one on me"
 'sWho'd he come in with?"
 "He came .in alone," said Lam ning. "Took a table over in the corner, ordered club steak, anu jusk sat there. Then, finally, see hire talking to these two kids"

 'Well," he said, T don't like his looks"

 "She's a stenographer, or some- thing," replied Lanning. Works for Donald Montague, the lawyer.
 The other two men raised their eyebrows and looked at one an- other for a moment.
 Did you say something about opportunity? asked Sandy, grim ming. Lanning looked puzzled, and asked, What about it?"
 "Well," said the black-haired man, i've might want to do a little business with this Montague some day, that's all. And if this dame"
 He looked again at Harkins.

 All unconscious of the fact that she was figuring so extensively in this mysterious conversation, Jean Dunn rested her chin in her hands and looked fondly at Larry Glenn.

WINTON ROAD
JOB FINISHED
Surfacing Applied to Little
More Than a Mile on State
Highway No. IS.

Completion of the surfacing of a
stretch of highway No. IS between
Ely and Winton has been accomplished
by the Thornton Brothers contracting
firm, according to an announcement
from County Commissioner Joseph
Veranth.
Financed as a PWA project with the
federal government paying 10 per cent
and the county 80 per cent of the cost
the work was completed at cost of a
little more than $4,000. The surface
was applied to Id miles Of the road,
A plant mixed black top was applied
in a one and one-haf inch coat Mr..
Veranth explained that although the
surface used was not exactly a new
substance it differs from the ordinary
surface in that it is mixed at the plant
and hauled to the project rather than
being mixed on the job. He said that
better and more lasting results are re-
ceived from this type Of surface.
Mixing of the surfacing material was
done at huge plant established at the
gravel pit. The same surfacing process
was first used in Minnesota about two
years ago and has proven satisfactory,
the commissioner said.
