people were gathered in the parIor

big brass knocker on the front door
clattered noisiIy. Dan went to-
answer It and returned smiling
broadly. "It's Jon," he announced.
10 was stunned and PoISey
looked up with obvious disap-

no way to escape. 10 went to the
door.
She stepped to the door and
found herself face to face with the
handsome young man who had
certainly been adjoining her dress

Hello, there!" she said with .

The man looked astonished.
''How do you do?" he answered
politely.

Although the day was warm,
Johanna Talbot walked briskly
along the street. Her face was pale
from the heat and the thick, towny
hair that framed 1t curled in damp
corkscrews on her temples. Her
wide, generous mouth plainly
marked her as a child of laughter,
but JOS lips were not laughing
now.
whats wrong with me?" she
thought, stopping before a store
window and critically regarding
her reflection in the glass, Nothing,
as far as she could see, was wrong.
Then why didn't she have dates
Like other girls?
Just this very morning 14-year-
old brother Bub had referred to
her as his spinster sister. And Dan,
her beloved older brother and best
friend, had wounded her pride by
saying, Looks like you're going to
be the old maid Of the family, Jo."
JOS eyes wandered aimlessly
over the display in the window be-
fore her. Photographs; photo

photographs of weddings salt
on the open wound! Suddenly
she gave her parasol joyous
twirl. Here was an idea! Revenge
on her brothers, too. If she could
just carry it out!
She critically regarded the pic
lures and finally decided which she
liked best. A few moments later
she came out of the shop with the
photo tucked under her arm.
That night after dinner 10, clad
in dainty new gown, announced
to an astonished family that she
had date and slipped out into the
twilight.
The next morning she oversight.
Fire family were at breakfast when
she came down; they had been
talking about her, she knew.
well, what's his name?" Dan
began abruptly. where's he 1ive?"
His name is Jon Costello" 10
announced smoothly.
Bub gave Disguised snort.
Sounds like a movie actor!"
HE Is a-er-a broker"
when do we meet him." Dan
asked, his eyes twinkling.
Here was the opportunity 10 had
awaited.
II have his picture" she an
nounced calmly. "I'll run up and
get it." She left her family seat
ed in open-mouthed amazement.
Upon her dressing table was the
photograph which had only recent
ly stared at her from the store win
dow on Main street. Gasping it, 10
hurried downstairs again.
"This - Jon Costello?" Dan
gasped. "Why, L"
"Oh, you don't know him?" 10
tried to speak naturally.
"Oh, no! MOI" Dan assured her
hastily, but her eyes fell under his
quizzical glance.
During the weeks that followed
10 was home very little. OF course,
even dad and momsie didn't know
that she spent most of the time at
Aunt Martha's house. The boys, it
seemed, were also completely de-
ceived.
One day late in July Dan, wildly
waving an envelope, rushed into
the kitchen where his mother and
10 were baking pies. "A letter
from Pokey!" he cried.
"Pokey?" 10 asked with a smile.
"Charles Policeman Chancery, the
assistant football coach at school.
We're to room together next year"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-07-17

"Oh," 10 seemed very eager.
Mother, can I get that darling
pink dress we saw today?"
Don't go out of your way to
make yourself charming, Jo!" Dan
broke in. "Pokey is absolutely i'm
mune to feminine guile. Moreover,
you mustn't be unfaithful to Jon."
But Mother Talbot smiled and ap-
proved the purchase of the dress.
Thursday came and Dams friend
came also. Charles Policeman Chan
Gerry turned out to be a tall, red
haired young man with gray eyes
and slow. winsome smile. And
he didn't seem quite SO insensible
to feminine charm as had been
predicted. At least he seemed fully
aware Of Johanna's proximity.

visit was almost over the young

10 cast an anguished eye toward
the open living room door, gulped
audibly, and said: Lets go out
on the porch where it's cooler"
She stepped outside and closed
the door after her.

icily, you may take your depar-
ture. I don't want to buy any shoe

him gasping.
Pokey was alone in the living
room when she returned. Dan and
Bub were strangely missing. How
ever, If 10 had just then glanced
out of the window she might have
been amazed to see Dan clapping
her previous caller on the back,
down at the front of the lawn near
the sidewalk. Perhaps she would
have realized then that it is rather
difficult to deceive brother who
has an interest in his sisters af-
fairs.
Luckily, however, JOS attentions
were quite monopolized by Mr..

cant you see? I'm asking you to
be Mrs. Pokey. I'm not going to
take any chances with that other
fellow hanging around"
Late that night a dark object,
hurting over the alley fence, and
the tinkling of breaking glass
marked the very sudden end OF
Jon Costello.

Meher Baba, an Indian mystic
who has ketp a silence for seven
years, has decided to break it,
and has chosen New York city
for the ceremony. This is the
most sportsmanlike gesture that

lence. Nobody will be more pro-
Baba, or glad if he succeeds,
than we, but we have our doubts.
Times Square at five o'clock
in the evening will be the place
for the ceremony, of course. Mr..
Baba, at the proper moment,
will walk to the curb in dignified
fashion, clear his throat, open
his mouth and set it in motion.
At that moment an east
bound Forty-second street sur
face car will bump over the
northbound tracks on Broadway,
so it will be impossible to tell if
the Baba has broken his silence
or not. He will make another
try, and this time just as he
opens his trap, a Southbound
surface car will bump over the
cross-toWn tracks.
He will make another try.
This time four taxicabs will
choose the particular moment
for an open cutout contest and
a horde of newsboys will swoop
down, believing the latest edi.
tions of the evening papers, and
nobody will be able to tell
whether Mr.. Baba has broken
that silence. The crowd of spec
tators will grow restive, and
there will be murmurs of "Fake!"
and Who said dis guy could
break a silence in Times
Square?"

Mr.. Baba will brace himself
again, nothing daunted, as the
phrase goes. He will drape his
beard over his ears, take a deep
breath and reopen his mouth.
There will be signs of feverish
activity among his vocal chords,
which those with a good view
will perceive twanging away for
dear life.

in the course Of time will set
mankind free from the bond

that will make man the un-

There is only one way in
which he can do this. He must
study nature until he shall have
become so thoroughly familiar
with all her laws that he can
live in complete conformity with
her manifold regulations. He
will then be able to live his

SHUN PUBLICITY
Our scientists avoid the front
pages. If you want to know
what they are doing, you have
to turn to the small print Of
page 10 or II. And even then,
you may find yourself disap-
pointed. For science hates to
come forward with flat-footed
statements about its wondrous
achievements.
Science, which is only an
other word for religion, for both
are firmly based upon an un-
Shakable belief in the ultimate
perfection of man, is essentially
humble. And science therefore
is apt to say, 1--WE believe that
some day in the near future"
or I'VE hope that soon," and it
carefully avoids all exaggerationS
and all hollow claims.
But eventually that some day
in the near future" becomes "to-
day." and the labor of the pa
tient laboratory is then revalu-
ated into yet another blessing,
saving it's lives by the millions
and adding with profligate gen.
erosity to the happiness of every
man, woman and child.
