his right and seated Lucinda there and
devoted himself to her with such enthusiasm
that she was breathless.
Slowly Sylvia's guilty fright subsided. She
felt first annoyed, then angry and injured.
Her mother had made fool of her. Every
body must know why Mrs. Gray had come

do you want me to come home, Mother?"
she asked finally. She had to repeat it three
times, the last time leaning over in front of
Peter Roy.
Home? Home? Ridiculous" snorted Peter
This woman has finally admitted she could
die waltzing. We've made suicide pact.
And here's our waltz. Come, Mrs. Gray"
Lucinda had always loved to dance. 1t
had been such an awfully long time. But
either she had not lost the feel or else Peter
Roy was a marvellous leader. Or maybe
they were just the same vintage. Lucy smiled.
Yes, of course. He was forty. This was the
wicked older man she was protecting Sylvia
from. She had almost forgotten.
Well, he was nice But probably wicked,
too. Anyway, it was easy to see how he would
make the little town buzz with gossip. He
dashed at things so, regardless. He had
dashed at her. He had begun saying outrage
Gus things right away But somehow when you
heard him doing it, it sounded like fun.
Hes just an awful lot of fun" Sylvia had
said that A small voice in the back of her
mind whispered that it was much nicer here
dancing with Peter Roy then being scared of
the dark at home alone. But what nonsense
was this! Lucinda shook her head vigorously.
What are you shaking your head about?"
said Peter into her ear.
'You," said Lucinda.
Peter stopped in the middle of the crowded
floor ''You darling! That's the first really
nice thing you've said tonight"
Lucinda blushed furiously. 1T wasn't nice.
l was thinking disagreeable things about
you."
II don't care. l don't care at ALL" sang
Peter. 'You can say 4 love you or I hate
you Just so long as you don't go on being
polite at me all evening""
We're we're supposed to be dancing"
said Lucinda.
When the music stopped and the dancers
came back to the table, Sylvia glared at her
mother but again the look was wasted. Watch
ing Lucy's laughing face, Sylvia felt the
shock of suspicion. Was Mumsie Furnishing
her daughter or was she just plain having

Peter Roy at one end of the long table.
Mr.. Roy hadn't danced with her yet.
But he didn't dance very often. 1t was
fun to watch his face. 1t was brown and
terrifcally wrinkled around the eyes
because he was always smiling. Most of
the time his eyes we're just slits of bright,
cleaning blue.
Nov, there, nodded Peter Roy, "isthe
first really pretty girl I've ever seen."
Sylvia followed his nod toward the
broad entrance doorway, and with
gasp, rose from her chair and exclaimed:
It's my mother!"
Nonsense. At least, you don't mean
your own natural mother who borned
you?"
Eyes, it's Mumsie. Gosh, what1l l
do?"
DO? don't know what you're going
to do, but fortunately I'm man and
when l see something that looks like
that, there is only one thing can pos
sibly do"
Come back! Oh, Mr.. Roy, wait!"
But Peter was striding down the
empty dance floor to where Lucinda
stood in the doorway, in conference with
the headWaiter
Peter bowed formally. There's a
young woman about your age at our
table who claims to be your daughter.
Evening star., 1937-06-20

This is a palpable I'M
truth, but I'm not in a
mood to quarrel with
such a happy excuse
for asking you to join
u.s."
Suddenly Peter
dropped his fiercely
formal manner. Don't
mind my being a fool,
Mrs. Gray. Come along.
Sylvia is at our table"
And he grinned.
1t was a friendly,
/ joyous grin. Poor puz-
zled Lucinda, relieved
at his change of voice,
his Mrs. Gray" and
Sylvia, found herself
smiling up at this
brown-skinned man
with the crisp gray
hair.
MY name is Peter
Roy"
"Oh." Lucinda's
smile faded and, watch
ing it fade, Peters blue
eyes twinkled, but his
face was grave.
"Oh, it's not the Peter Roy
you've been hearing about
from dear Mrs. Tyne and Mrs.
Warner. It's not that foolish
ass who sent the library a
years subscription to La Vie
Pd1isienne. Nor the Mr.. Roy
who did the portrait of Select
man Tibbals on the barber
shop mirror. No indeed, it's a
new and better Peter Roy
new from the moment he saw
you standing in this doorway"
Some imp in Lucinda re-
sponded to the mischief in
Peters apparently sober face.
Il am afraid l would be intrud-
ing on your party, Mr.. Roy"
He grinned and offered his
arm. Mrs. Gray, you are my
party"
Sylvia, crimson with con-
fusion and shame, stood up as
her mother approached the
table. But no one paid any
attention to Sylvia. Peter was
jubilant. He ousted young
Mrs. Gaines from the chair on

the Psalmist: let the redeemed
of the LORD say 50. whom he hath
redeemed from the hand OF the

healed them, and delivered them
from their distractions. Oh that

Nobody Loves
a aCathartic-Crank!

Most cathartics are habit forming
in time you must take them oftener
and step up the dose. There's no fear
of this when you eat a NATURAL
laxative food like Kellogg's All-Bran.
Instead of over-stimulating your in
testines, All-Bran supplies TWO
things they need. First, vitamin "Bi -
the amazing vitamin that tones up
your intestinal tract. Second, ALL
Bran provides bulk" it absorbs
water and softens like sponge. This
water -softened mass aids elimination.
Eat this crunchy. toasted cereal with
milk or cream and fruits. In mullins
it's delicious. But however you eat it,
use it REGULARLY: eat two table,
spoons of All-Bran and drink plenty
of water. If you do this every day you
can avoid common constipation-and
