to take over the perplexing money
matters that Janet had to take
care Of for both herself and Joel
when there were deposits and with
drawals to straighten out when
they transferred their count
from Beverly Hills to New York.
It was Russell who thought that
Janet ought to get more sunshine
and who took her for long walks
in the winter sunshine. 1t was
Russell who saw that she blinked
over her books and who suggested
having her see about getting read
ing glasses.
Janet slipped into the convenient
acceptance of Russell's care and
thoughtfulness. And doing it, she
was blind, utterly blind, to what
was happening to Joel.
She who had felt that her heart
beat with the cadence of Joel's!
If she had wanted to know what
Joel was doing, whom he was with
and where he was, she had only to
ask him. Joel hadn't a secret from
his wife. But Janet never asked
him.
In the early days after her first
trip east, fear had bound her; she
had been afraid that it would have
annoyed Joel to- have her ask cues
tions. She said then that she would
never let him experience the pos
sessiveness in her that he had once
told her emphatically he could
never stand.
Later she had asked no questions
because she was trying to control
her jealousy and she thought that
only by ignoring the cause she
could find the way to do it.
And, more lately, she had asked
no questions because she was tired.
She was weary but unprotesting.
She accepted the pattern of a life
that she had not wanted because it
was obviously the only one that
she could have. She was uncorE-
planning always. And most of
the time she was quite content, If
not happy.
She would have screamed and
torn her hair and then hit the
heights of happiness had she
known that Joel wanted her as she
had once been. Had she asked him
just one jealous little question!
But Joel didn't do it. He let the
hurt inside him spread out in a
great mushroom in his mind until
it began to press on him and event
ually have effects far greater thar
any that Janet could have made
with any conscious effort.

mentary procedure, that Fenner has
one of the best voices. but is inclined
to be too quick tempered and heavy-
handed.
1t is agreed that Libby Ward knows
now to handle the gavel and push the
oils through, also that he has a good
voice. But some members feel that
Ward is too liberal in his use of sar
casm, too prone to stick it in and
break it off in his opponents has too
little respect for the opinions of those
who disagree with him. Sam Blount is
also regarded as being trifle too sar-
castle and cynical to be popular
enough to be elected speaker.
Victor Bryant is regarded as hav-
ing the edge on all of the others at the
present time, although it is agreed
that he does not have quite as suitable
voice for speaker as some of the
others being mentioned. There is no
doubt, however, that Bryant is one of
the most popular members of the
mouse, that he is conceded to be one
of the hardest workers in the house
and to have outstanding ability. And
regardless of whatever side of a cues
ton he is on, he always has respect
for the views of those who disagree
with him, is always courteous. consid-
crate, polite, smooth and conciliatorv.
AS result, he has made manv
friends, few enemies in the house.

ROAD FUNDS HERE
That Is Carolinas' Share of
1878 Federal High
way Donations

Charlotte. March ia total of So
662 2s1 of Federal highway funds has
been apportioned to North and South
Carolina for the fiscal year beginning
.Julv l. 1887, Coleman w. Roberts,
president of the Carolina Motor CLUB,
reported today. This total is made up
of regular Federal-aid funds plus ap-
portionments for secondary or feeder
roads and for elimination of railroad
hazards on highways.
This money" Mr.. Roberts said,
represents the Carolinas' share of
5000, 100000 that is being made avail
able by the Federal government to
the 48 states, the District of Column
bia, Puerto Rico and Hawaii for
highway purposes.
Of the total $125,O0O,000 is to be
appropriated as regular Federal aid,
$25O00,000 for construction of second
airy or feeder roads, and $50000,000 for
eliminatio nof railroad hazards.
"All of the funds made available to
the Carolinas will be expended in &C
cordance with the general plan used
in previous Federal-aid highway work.
Projects for improvement will be Sc
lected by our State highway depart
ments, which also will prepare plans,
let contracts and supervise construc-
tiOn-all subject to Federal approval.
Improvement of secondary roads
and elimination of rail hazards with
Federal funds were first intimated as
an emergency measure to relieve I'M
employment. The appointments of
funds for these purposes during the
next fiscal year are the first to be
made as part of the regular Federal
program. Regulations under which
the two new funds will be adminst-
cred are now being prepared by the
Bureau of Public Roads.
Each state is required to match the
funds for Improvement of the Federal
aid system and for secondary roads,
but it is not required to match the
grade crossing funds.
North Carolina has been awarded
$4,842707 in Federal Highway funds
TOR the coming year Mr.. Roberts said
and South Carolinas share is $2,S19,-

The DAY THAT | FORGET

NOTED stage and screen actor, was
one Of the smartest dressed women
at the opening Of the United
Hunts Meet.
Or -
Mrs. Joel Paynter, wife Of the
stage and screen star, snapped on
her daily departure for her Office.
Mrs. Paynter believes that every
woman married to a career man
should have a career of her own.
Mrs. Paynter is engaged in an am
bilious business having to do with
merchandising and advertising.
Everything but the funny pa
pers," she said aloud.
Oh, Mrs. Joel Paynter was very
much the pert, chic young matron!
An ideal wife for matinee idol.
You seldom saw her with her hus-
band but you were aware that
there was a Mrs. Paynter. The
rumors were that she was impor-
tant socially since you generally
saw her name connected with
other names in the social register,
albeit the Paynters were not in
that exclusive little volume and
never would be.
Mrs. Paynter attended the polo
matches at Westbury. Mrs. Payn-
ter was present at the opening Of
Belmont. She is usually to be
found at the night clubs on impor-
tant occasions. Yes, sometimes
she is with Mr.. Paynter. They
make very charming couple. I
wonder where she gets her hair
done. I wonder if she has her
clothes made. She wears black
and white so sn1artly.
That was the Mrs. Paynter that
the world saw. That was the
Mrs. Paynter that Joel Paynter
saw.
Not the one that Russell Bede
knew. Not the Janet that she real
ly was.
Burying her face in her pillows
to hide the desperate expression in
her eyes from herself, Janet hated
the girl that people saw.
I don't like this chromium room
of mine. I don't want that black,
taffeta-garbed maid. I loathe go
ing to the hairdresser and having
my hair dressed high on my head
because the waistline of my eve
ming dress demands an empire
headdress.
She didn't say these things but
she was working out her rebellion
thinking them.
I don't want to live in a pent-
house. I want to live in house
with back yard that has a
clothesline in it and geraniums in
the windows. want a garbage
can that I can press my foot to
and have the lid dy up. I want
to mix things with my own hands
and stick a hatpin in cake to see
if it is done. want to darn Joel's
sox. I want to sit beside him in
the movies and play bridge with
him and the young couple who live
across the road. want to tell the
girl across the road what my hus-
band said about the election.
want to go to market and pleasant
ly debate about whether we should
have spinach or carrots. I want

Oh, what difference did it mako
what she wore! Angrily, she Lot
the water down the drain and hrr~
riedly dried herself.
| She dressed carelessly and was
sorry at luncheon that she had
done so. She was lunching with
some friends who were east fron,
Hollywood. One of them was
Harriet Casey, now editor If
Screen View magazine. Harriet
was her usual sharp self, fun Of
gossip and leading questions,
She said something about Chris
Gaynor touching heights uneoualed
in filmdom and Janet knew that
she was speaking directly to her
asking her the unspoken question.
When was Joel returning to Hollv-
wood to reinstate himself with his
public?
Janet was amazed to discover
that she had been thinking so If
tie of JOel's career that she had
not considered it. She didn't even
know what Joel was planning to
do. His play was still playing to
a capacity audience but it must
surely close by summer.
She had taken it for granted
that when the season was over
they would return and Joeps option
would be picked up. Els was still
Joel, wasn't he? And HOLLYWOOD
had skyrocketed him to fame
Surely his place should be waiting
for him.
But his place wasn't! That she
knew. Chris Gaylior was JoeTs
successor.
Janet shook off the chill that she
felt with her knowledge that any,
thing can happen in Hollywood
and the chances were it wouldn't
be good. It was just that Joel
hadn't been talking about it lately
and she now read something into
his silence that wasn't there.
/ She did not want to go back to
Hollywood. Nor did she want to
continue living in New York as she
was. But she had longing to go
back to Hollywood because she
wanted Joel to reign again.
She left the luncheon party and
went directly to a telephone. She'd
have to talk to Joel about it

CHAPTER 43

HELEN MARKINSON phoned
Janet, still in bed in her New York
apartment, to join her at the West
chester Biltmore.
Tuesday," Janet clutched the
telephone with her left hand
and reached with her right for the
little leather. book on the bedside
table. She found it, thumbed
through the pages and, settling
back on her pillows. she said into
the instrument, "It sounds like fun,
Helen. Do you know I've never
been to the Westchester Biltmore?
What are you going to wear?"
Janet's maid brought inc her
breakfast tray and set the little
table legs up on the bed. Janet
wrinkled her nose as the appetlz-
ing scent Of bacon and buttery
toast assailed her nostrils. She
made little signs to Katie that she
would be finished with her CONVEX
sation in. a moment and to pour
her coffee.
"All right" she said, ''then it's
settled. BY the way, since you
want me to get man for myself,
would you really mind very much
if I brought nay husband? Its
such a long time since I've been
out with him, I think it would be
rather NICE"
"All right, darling" Helen Mark
inson's voice came over clearly.
"Be sure and put it in the book.
The date is the Goth. And you
might remember, your husband is
no stranger to me. met him at
Mabel Newbold's a couple of weeks
ago. Please bring him."
After Janet had put the tele-
phone back on it's stand and re-
placed it on the table, she discov-
cred that she had lost her appetite
for her breakfast after all,
She slipped her coffee, nibbled at
a piece Of the crisp toast and, in a
little while, sent the tray with its
untouched delicacies back. Strange
ly enough, she found that the NOR
sci of toast had stuck in her throat.
Because there had already been
a lump there.
She burrowed' down into her pill
lows. and beat her palms on the
softness beneath her. The ache in
her throat never dissolved into
tears; it became a hard pressure
back of her eyes that were mo-
mentarily stormy with a. kind of
desperation.
I almost escaped, she, thought,
but I can't get away.
She was thinking Of the pattern
of her life. She was thinking of
the luncheons she gave, and at
tended, at 1.-The smart spots; the
casual way she fitted in appoint
ments with the hairdresser, the
masseuse, the dressmaker, in with
her business hours. She was think
ing of the dates" she had to fill
in her time. She was thinking of
the expensive clothes that did SO
much to make her a frequently
photographed woman.

Ask Bids On
HghwQy II

In announcing q new call for
bids, one Of the most important
pieces Of work Is that on High
way n on which bids viii be
opened July 9th by the State
Highway Department. This job
will include 1914 miles Of road
between Belgrade and two
miles north Of Elrosa. The work
to be done calls for grading and
stabilized base and culverts,
comprising 192,O24 cubic yards
Of excavation, 36,931 tons Of
gravel base, 8,273 cubic yards Of
binder soil, II tons of calcium
chloride and two monolithic
culverts. the latter to be under
separate contract. Although
this announcement is pleasing
to residents Of this community,
there will still be stretches of
road on II which will need re-
pairs after the completion Of
the work called for. This high
way is an important road, and
Is being used more and more
each day, hence it would be a
fine thing to have a black top
road from Sank Centre to Will
mar. A road which traverses
the United States from north
and south as does Highway II
Is worthy Of greater considera-
ton than has been given to this
popular highway.

Capser had teamsters and wagons

bearable rough corduroy log roads.
And he handled the transaction of
providing the ties that built the
Great Northern railroad through
this section.
The great expenses of transpor-
tation items, many Of them from
the east, sent many commodities
sky high. Others were surprisingly
low, however. A pair Of prairie
shoes, rough leather fashioned
with wooden pegs, sold for $2.75.
Dry goods were rocketed with
sheeting at Csc a yard. muslin sold
for SOC, and flannel yardage came
to $1.15. Tea retailed at $1.7O per
pound, and crackers-into whose
barrel hands dipped freely-were
25c per pound. Nails were lie per
pound, a "chaw Of terbaccer' CSC,
and whiskey was &c a pint. In
the realm of clothing the account

n Subscriber
For 20 Years
Mrs. Elizabeth Craig One of
First Herald Readers
Subscribed 1867

With the passing of Mrs.
Elizabeth Craig, mother Of Mrs.
C. d. Wilcox, the Herald loses
the last Of its original subscrib-
ers. Mrs. Craig and her hus-
band subscribed to the Herald
in 1867 and received the first
issue, and since that time have
taken the paper continuously.
Upon the death Of Mr.. Craig,
Mrs. Craig changed the paper
to her name and so it continued
until her death last week. The
loss Of a subscriber and reader
Of over seventy years is keenly
felt by the Herald publishers.
1t is a record worthy Of men
ton for we believe that few
newspapers have had the honor
Of sending their paper to one
subscriber for over seventy
years. Mrs. Craig was proud Of
her continued membership in
the Herald family, and the pub
fishers regret that her relation
ship has been terminated by the
hand that controls life. She was
one Of the pioneers who made
the Herald a possibility, and
through continued support
helped to build and improve
the paper and the community.

The Identification project built
by the Minnesota highway depart
ment on the new fills and Adult
ments about the new bridge that
buckles Sank Centre with Highway

planting of some 500 trees and
shrubs on both sides of the bridge,
grass seeded, and sloping terraces
reaching from the sidewalk level
to the river bank feet below. AL
ready the grass seeded has been
moved. With the bridge finished
in 1885, it was sometime before the
project was under way. Sidewalk
approaches on both sides of the
bridge have been added.
