HE penthouse Dell DuZZeO. Mary Kut-
ledge heard footsteps pass down the
hall to answer its ring She looked at
the large photograph on her writing
table. Carolyn's last gift - and now Carolyn
was dead and Peter stood outside.
Between Mary Rutledge and Carolyn
Shears there had existed the selfess friendship
which men assert no woman can attain It
had weathered time and Peter Duane -
romantic, shiftless Peter, who had loved
Carolyn through all the years that Mary had
loved him. While Carolyn lived, Mary's love
for Peter was something she had tried to
stife with every breath she drew Loyalty to
Carolyn was her religion. Even now, she
would fight against the tenderness that welled
up within her at the sound of Peters voice
or the quirk of his fine eyebrows.
She lifted the packet that Carom's lawyer
had delivered that morning. Less than week
before, Caro- had sat on the little couch in it's
gay linen cover, smoking one of the forbidden
cigarettes. Mary shivered. 1t gave her an
eerie sensation to read her name in Carolyn's
firm writing on the envelope
Mary! It's good to see you" She raised
her head at the sound of Peters voice in the
doorway. He looked tired, worn, but not so
ravaged as she had feared.
"You sent for me?" he said I'm glad. But
should have come to see you anyway Our
common loss - our shared sorrow >" His
voice trailed off. Mary knew it would have
sounded theatrical in another man. In Peters
mellow tones it was pathetic.
"Sit down, Peter" she said gently. II can
scarcely realize that she's gone 1t was SO
dreadful so very sudden. Did you know
the doctor had warned her about her heart -
asked her to sell her horses and give up her
swimming3"
"She never told me, he said Il think she
would rather be dead. Those things we're her
life"
How well you ';nd9s.. ~ he-. Peter.
Though was so close to her, always felt
Evening star., 1937-09-12

there was something never fathomed "a
sort of veil between us. And yet you two were
such different people You, with your passion
for music and poetry, and Carolyn, who
could not play a note, who rarely read a book.
She was so inarticulate, so completely matter
of-fact. You you're so impressionable, so
imaginative"
1--WE can't all be poets, Mary" he answered
her. Il knew Carolyn well, far better than she
ever knew me. And l cared deeply for her,
though she would never marry me. Perhaps
that was for the best. 1t takes more sensitive
woman, Mary - a woman more like you =
to live with poet
Mary Rutledge felt her cheeks flush This
was treason. But was it, she wondered She
could not have listened to such words if
Carolyn were living surely Peter would never
have uttered them. She looked down at the
thick envelope in her lap.
"Caros lawyer brought me this" she said.
ut was in her safe deposit box It came with a
note, which asked that you and | open it
together. That the reason sent for you."
Peter moved across to the couch where she
was sitting. 1T must be something very
precious" he said
Mary broke the seal of the envelope and
shook the contents on the cushion between
them There was package of haad-written
poems tied with blue ribbon; poem written
IN different hand. on ruled paper; several
printed pages, apparently torn from maya
zines; and letter, addressed to Mary ard
Peter.
She smiled at him. His brows we're drawn
into a frown. Your poems, of course" she
said softly.

OFFICERS REDUCE
TROOP INCREMENT
Increases in Forces Voted
to Include Necessary
Commissions.

The increments allowed the Ma
tional Guard by Congress were be-
lieved by the National Guard Bureau
Of the War Department to total 5000
enlisted men. 1t was found, when
the necessary increase was allowed,
it was supposed to include the neces-
sary ofhcers. 1t was explained the
authorization for the first increase
was interpreted to include 5000 men,
exclusive Of officers. However, the
first increase, when allotted to the
States by the bureau, consisted Of an
aggregate strength Of 5,438 officers
and men. When the second increase
was authorized by Congress the act
limited the aggregate strength of the
militia to 100000 officers and men.
Thus it was found that the second
increase, instead Of being one of 5000
enlisted men. actually is limited to
total of 1852 officers and men. In
effect the bureau exceeded its first in
crease by the number of officers-438.
In the first increase various States
asked authority to activate units which
they considered more necessary than
the ones authorized by the National
Guard Bureau. In every case, it was
explained, the units which the States
desired to substitute required more
personnel than those authorized for
activation in the first increase How
ever, in a number of cases the bureau
authorized these substitutions, pro-
vided the substituted units could be
organized with the personnel allotted
in the first increase. 1t will now re-
quire 1872 enlisted men from the sec
ond increase to reimburse States for
men required and utilized in organiz-
ing substituted units OF the first in
crease.
During 1897 the War Department
directed that the Quartermaster trains
Of the Infantry divisions be convert
ed into quartermaster regiments
The tables provide IL officers and 282
men in excess of those formerly au-
thorized. To enable the States to
bring their active units Of the Quar-
termaster regiments up to authorized
SIcuStu Will require 20 eullSleO Uleu
from the second increase.
The bureau has authorized the Or
ganization Of 29 headquarters and 10
units within the continental limits of
the United States. All Of these are
in the l8 National Guard Infantry
divisions except three headquarters
batteries for anti-aircraft regiments,
which batteries are essential for the
tactical training of these regiments
When the second increase is put into
effect there will be number of units
OF Infantry divisions which will re-
main inactive. These include combat
engineers. ordnance companies, mill
tary police companies, quartermaster
units and divisional medical regi-
ments. If the recommendation of the
chief Of the Guard bureau is approved
by the current Congress and another
Increase is allowed, it was said that
these divisional units will be activated.
After these have been taken care of
will come the necessity of completing
the anti-aircraft artillery units.
