And Darl Fursten, his heart aching
for the disillusioned girl in his arms
Tomorrow morning the minute the
Marriage License Bureau opens. I'm
off till noon," Darl told the two who
stared at them, in wordless amaze
ment.
"Darl earns sixty-five dollars a week
Nom! Isn't that wonderful? And
we're going to live in his apartment
and I'm going to cook"
More footsteps on the stairs. Start
led glances were exchanged. A sharp
rap on the goor.
"Ruggles?" came in nasal voice
Someone opened the door. A mes
senger boy stood there with huge
package.
"Sign here" he ordered, thrusting
a dirty book at them.
"What it is? What do you s'pose %

She scrambled out of Darl's arms
and ran to tear the package open. II
was her beloved fur coat! She stood
staring down at it with swiftly chang
ing expressions chasing themselves
across her face. First joy, then doubt
then remuneration, then uncertainty
and at last-defiance.
She paid no attention to the letter
the messenger boy was handing her
Darl took that-and opened it.
"Dear Bethna Ruggles": it began.

no longer floated up the stairs. Then
he and Mrs. Ruggles turned to the
kitchen and closed the door firmly be-
picked her up and carried her to the
nearest chair. There he settled rown,
cuddling her as if she were baby.
And neither spoke for a long, long,
time.
Finally-"I'm so ashamed" came a
muffled whisper.
Darl's kiss landed on scarlet ear.
Something had to happen to wake
you up honey. Pm sorry it had to be
so unpleasant-bu I'll love you SC
much, if you'll just let me, that you'll
never have time to think of unpleaant
things any more. Will you?" he ask
ed her softly.
ooh, Darl! How can you love such
dumbbell? Pm so ashamed think
I'll die"
"Wait about sixty or seventy years
will you, honey?" he asked tenderly
"Till we can have a flock of great
grandchildren to inherit the fortune

"Suits me-" he told her with re.

"Sixty-five dollars week." she
questioned incredulously. GAIL that?'
Darl gathered her close again with
soft little chuckle. She was as cas-.

Two strong arms caught the girl
and turned her swiftly SO that her
poor, trembling face was hidden on
a sturdy shoulder that had ached for
it too long.

out. I'll explain to these people what
sort of benefactor you are-usually.
But l can assure Miss Bodine that this
particular benefaction really didn't
have a string to it. And take that
fur coat with you. I'll buy my future
wife's fur coat. And they won't be

Probably neither Payne nor Vesta
Bodine had ever known such an I'M
comfortable moment in their lives.
Awkwardly they backed towards the
door and disappeared down the dark
stairs.
"What good you think that did
came Vesta's voice.
"This much," came Payne's retort.
"You said if I could prove to you that
it wasn't the usual thing, you wouldn't
marry that"
"Do you think you've proved it?"
jeered the girl.
"Do you think I'd have bothered
with that white scared little girl?"

And then there was patter of hur-
ried feet, and the next thing they knew
q bundle of soft fur struck Wesley
Payne square in the face.
"Well, there was no string to that"
painted the outraged Bethna. "And
you can take it away with you. Get
out!"
"Vesta, please! Apologize to these
people! That's a frightful thing"
"Get out! Get out! Get out!"
shrieked the girl, picking up the prec-
ious coat that had fallen to the floor,
forcing it across Payne's arm, and
backing him towards the door with
little fists that drummed furiously
against his shirt front.
"Get out! Oh, I'd rather have gone
to Jail for life! I'd rather my family
went to the poor house! wish I'd
never seen you! wish I'd never been
born! Get out! Get out!"

Great Advance In
Treating Sore Throat

You can't expect lasting relief from
sore throat when you use salves or
gargles. A sore throat is due to an
internal cause and as such should be
treated internally. Real prescription
medicine Thoxine-does this.
It's two-way action not only re-
lieves the soreness in the throat but
also goes deep into the system to
drive out cold and fever. Thoxine is
pure, safe, pleasant to take. Guaran-

JOCK M'LEAN
ALONE GAINS
ON LEASE
81 900 Brokerage Fee
Assured As WPA
Takes House

John R. Jock" Mclean I'd, who
acted as broker in the negotia-
tions in which the Works Progress
Administration leased the Mclean
mansion at 1900 I st. N. w., is
the only person who will gain an
outright profit by the lease, it
was learned today.
According to the petition of the
American Security and Trust
Company, trustee of the estate of
the late Senator John R. Mclean,
asking for court approval of the
lease, the present lease is for nine
and one-half months at a rental
Of $4,000 a year.
The WPA has the right of re.
newal at the end of the present
lease at a rental of $4,000 year,
but it also has the right to can
eel the present lease at any time
during it's terms, upon giving 30
days notice to the owner.
Repairs Cost $4,000
An initial outlay of $4,000 must
be made by the Mclean estate for
improvements, repairs and altera-
tons, including a $1,000 brokerage
fee PAYABLE to young Jock, the
petition states.
The trustee points out that even
if the WPA occupies the building
during the full term Of the pres
ent lease, the $19,791.63 it will
receive in rental will fall more
than $4,000 short of the total out
lay which is being made go con-
dition the building for its new
tenants.
1t is hoed that the tenants will
take advantage of the renewal
clause in the lease, the trustee
says, in which event only will the
estate gain net profit. In any
event. however. it is said, the prop
erty is in need of repair and the
present outlay will place it in
rentable condition for other ten
ants if the Government agency
should cancel it slease.
Lists Are Itemized
The itemized list of expendi-
lures incident to leasing the build.
ing are: Alterations, $4,000; heat
ing plant repair, $4,000; hauling
furniture to storage, $1,000; stor-
age of furniture, at $500 a month,
$4750: other repairs, $4,000: COM
mission to broker negotiating
lease, $1,000: incidental expenses,
$3.50; bringing the total to 1000.
The property is assessed for
taxes at 1889, 464, including a $75,-
600 valuation placed on the resi-
dence itself. The law firm of Nc
Kenney, Flannery and Craighill
filed the trustees petition and pre-
sented the lease contract, which
was formally approved by the
court today.

Sick Drake Is Nm.Sed
BY Beagle Hound

EVANSVILLE, Nd, Sept. s..
A strange friendship is that of a
drake and hunting dog.
Sir Francis, a large white drake
almost two years old, and Venus,
2-year-old beagle hound, are the
best of friends at the home of E.
M. Walker, So lakewood Rd.
At present the drake is ill, it's
legs acting up like Leon Errels
rubber stage legs. Venus seems
to understand what is wrong and
carefully watches over her friend.

DC. BarSeekS
To Curb Flood
Of Divorces

Seeking to cut down the num-
Der of divorce suits which have
been filed since the District di.
vorce laws we're liberalized, the
Bar Association of the District is
studying establishment of a con-
Citation commission.
Winship Wheatley, president of
the organization, explained that
the first duty of the commission
would be to seek solution of the
problem leading to the divorce.
If unable to do this, the COM
mission would then study all facts
in the case and recommend action
as to alimony payments.
A committee from the associa-
ton will be named to call on the
District Supreme Court and ask
the justices to appoint such COM
mission.
