cept that now a note was propped
against a lamp 1t read: Celia, l
have a date tonight. You'll have to
look out for yourself. Ann"
1T WAS late when Ann returned
and Celia was in bed, but not
asleep. She came and sat dejectedly
on AIMS bed.
Il never was so mortified in my life"
she began Our home. that ! have
always been so proud of, like that"
Ann suppressed smile and said moth
ing. Nothing to eat, We had to go
out. I thought we would have so much
fun. We even picked up Kent Martin
and brought him along. You know
what he always thought of your house
keeping"
Yes, she knew and all the laughter
went out of her.
I'm sorry" she said, but there's
nothing we can do about 1t now"
The truth of her words made her even
more unhappy.
The next evening Celia was still
suffering too keenly from humiliation
to suggest bringing any one home. She
was going out dancing somewhere.
Kent, however, would come. Ann
was ashamed to face him. He must
think that all her sweet motherliness,
all her fine housekeeping was put on
for his benefit and that at other
times she was slovenly and ire
sponsible
K ENT came in with CHEEKY hello.
a broad grin and an armful Of
roses.
Ann thought: Hes trying not to
let me see that he feels differently"
She put the roses in water and Kent
leaned against the mantelpiece, hands
in pockets.
You remember" he said, there
was something I wanted to say to
you and was afraid?"
Are you sure you want to say it?"
Ann asked quietly.
1T isn't necessary now. You see,
I wanted to warn you that you could
never have any happiness in life
unless you made Celia and Bob stand
on their own feet. What could you
do with those two clinging vines
forever hanging on you? Suppose
you wanted to marry, what man would
adopt them?"
So that was it! Ann turned her
head to hide the tears
But last night you proved that
you didn't need any warning. You
should have seen Celia's face
Il was so glad I didn't have to say
that to you," he continued Now,
there's just one more thing I want
to say" He moved from the mantel-
piece and, taking his hands from his
pockets, cupped her face in them.

housekeeper and cook, money lender
and general convenience to Celia and
Bob was a full time and somewhat
thankless occupation.
Not that Celia and Bob were not
the dearest sister and brother one
could have, but at times Ann did
wish they we're a little more
thoughtful.
Of course, she was glad that they
liked to entertain their friends at
home-but every night! They didn't
realize how much work it meant
for her. There had, however, been
a compensation for the labor since
Kent Martin had made himself a
part of the evening gatherings.
X x x Y
JUST the thought of Kent flooded
her cheeks with warm color and
unsteadied her hand in way nearly
disastrous to the stack of dishes she
carried. How often he stood here in
the kitchen helping her prepare a
midnight supper for the noisy crowd
of young people dancing over her
Sdlln pOlSIl6Q IlOOIS.
At times she would glance up and
catch a look Of tenderness in his
eyes that was overwhelmingly sweet;
again there would be another look
one she could not fathonl-per-
haps it was resentment, perhaps
irritation. The second look always
hurt her deeply
Strange, both looks had been
mixed up together last night, when
he had told her that there was
something he wanted to say to her.
She probably would not have prom
ised to play bridge this evening if
she had not known that Kent was
going to work. And what, she Won
dered, could be keeping Celia SO long?
All, there she was now.
And. indeed, there she was with
her hat and coat on and pulling on
her gloves as she spoke.
The crowd decided at the last
minute to go to the boxing matches.
Sorry I can't help with the dishes.
Well be back here afterward, rustic
some eats like an old dear, won't
you?"
X X
Tor a moment Ann stood in the
door, looking first at the half
cleared table, then at the stack of dirty
dishes in the kitchen, finally at the
clock. The disorder, she knew. did
not stop with these rooms. Celia
passing through room always left a
trail of untidinesS.
Sure enough, there on the hall
table was a comb with a strand Of
Celias blond hair clinging to it. a
lipstick and q smeared piece of cleans
ing tissue with which she had
smoothed on the lipstick.
Then, looking into the living room
Ann laughed-a merry laugh that was
part of Ann the individual, and had
nothing to do with Ann the general
&houlderer of responsibilities.
She had forgotten that just before
dinner Celia had been showing her

EVEREST CLIMBERS
FORCED TO RETREAT
Attempt of Ruttledge Party to
Reoccupy Camp No, 4
Fails.
BY HUGH RUTTLEDGE.

Leader 1886 BRUSH Mount Everett
Expedition.
BY Radio to The Star,
CAMP No. 3, Mount Everest, Tibet,
June "a carefully organized at
tempt to reoccupy camp No. 4, $4,000
feet up on the North Col, has failed.
The consistency of the snow had
changed in various places since the
previous day and was getting worse.
1t was so deep on the critical traverse
that F. S. Smythe tried a new line
straight up toward the crest. This,
however proved impossible and the
whole party retreated. Great slabs of
snow still are being swept away by the
wind.
Forty-two porters in the assault
party had been divided into four
groups under E. E. Shipton and were
not allowed to be together. 1t was
a great relief to have everybody safely
down.
We may be able to have one more
try, as the west wind continues strong
and the monsoon is temporarily weak
er. 1t is tantalizing to see the north
face of the mountain in a better con-
dition, while the North Col keeps us of. .

Avoid Intestinal
Fatigue

Many people suffering from In
testinal Fatigue, commonly called
Constipation, do not know what
It is to feel good. One or two
E-Z Tablets for a day or two are
just what these people need. They
have more pep" and step livelier
than in years. Dizziness, tired
feeling, headaches, when due to
constipation, disappear. Surely
makes difference. See for your
self. You get so little E-Z Tablets
