"Let's finish up with something
to eat. Gosh, I'm hungry. Let's
get something at Tony's."
Smilingly she agreed. Tony's
was popular with the young crowd
and going there made Joe feel
sophisticated. They were in and
seated before she saw Joe's face
settle in a stubborn frown. He
sank deep in q concentrated study
Of the menu, then grew garrulous,
demanding her full attention
while he rambled on with some
meaningless story Of events at
school.
His face was flushed; twice she
saw his glance dart across the
room until finally she herself set
tied back in the booth and looked
around. Her breath caught and
she fought to keep her own fea-
lures from showing expression
Larry and Dottie Barnes!
Larry leaned across the table
smiling his old endearing smile
putting all his charm into his
voice while he talked to the girl
Pat took q sip Of water and said
to Joe, Larry and Dottie Barnes.
1t was pointless to ignore them.
Joe grunted. "How come she's
bothering with Larry? He hasn't
got what it takes to play around
with in that SET"
IT don't know. I'm not being
catty, but I suppose it's something
different for her. Maybe she likes
to see how the other half lives
Maybe his recent publicity makes
him q character in her eyes. He's
probably sold himself as the
prosecuted victim Of a half-cracked
witness. Oh, I don't know what it's
all about, but I'm tired and I want
to 60 home"
Tears were near, and Joe, In
sudden fright, drained his choco-
late soda and got up to follow.
The whole thing was obvious,
Pat thought back home in the
privacy of her own room. Larry
was stupid enough to think Dottie
Barnes could help him. Just be-
cause her father was one Of the
towns importan men he hoped
he could swing power In court

had threatened when they parted,
Now he was trying to pull strings
with the aid of an 18-year-old
girl. She couldn't let him make
such a complete fool Of himself.
too soon he would realize the
uselessness Of the effort, would
see what q ridiculous position he
had placed himself In. II only
memories Of the love between
them didn't keep coming back
again to torture her. 1t wasn't
easy to tear such things from ones
heart.
Toms presence beside her gave
her a dull comfort during the day.
Little things he would say, little
things he would do to remind her
that he was conscious Of her.

looking up from behind the spicy
scented blossoms. II thought
you'd gone ages ago"
II had, but T came back" he
told her. II thought you'd still
be here. I wondered If you
wouldn't like to stay down town
for dinner. I have to work to-
night and I'd be glad If you would
be a Girl Scout and have dinner
with me-"
The expression in his eyes made
her heart fiutter. II saw how he
looked at you in court" Larry had
said to her. Now Toms eyes told
her more Of his feeling toward
her than all the little gestures Of
the past weeks. She bent forward,
hiding her face in the cool GRIM
son Of the flowers, trying to think.
"You can help you, can help.
Sweeney would do 1t for you

back with an incessant repetition.
And Tom was here now waiting
for her to answer. Caring for her,
wanting her company at dinner.
Honest, sincere, striving to make
his record before the election.
And some place else In the city
was Larry, stumbling blindly in
the morass Of his own lies, trying
like a frightened c:iild to fight
his way clear, not realizing the
seriousness Of his position.
1--WE can have a real meal for
a change" Tom was saying. "No
sandwiches and milk like lunch
time. I'll have to work later, but
If you feel you can give me few
hours"
She looked up into his kind
brown eyes, at the unruly lock
Of brown hair falling over his
forehead.
It'd love to 60, Tom. I'll be
ready in no time at ALL"

 Senator King said he feared Ja- pans refusal to supply the world powers with information about her naval plans will encourage an arm mament race and place crushing burden" on the taxpayers of all na- tions.
 Authoritative sources said mean while the United States, in con- sequence of Japan's reply on naval plans, will resume full liberty of action.
 This is taken to mean the United States will not feel free to build battleships of more than 35.000 tons and cruisers of more than 5000 tons.

BERLIN, Feb 12.-Hitler yester- day suddenly conferred secretly with Chancellor Schuchnigg of Aus tria as the belief grew that Hitler might decide on a dramatic step to bolstar confidence in Germany's armed forces,
 There have been many rumors emanating from Germany to the ef- feet that there is dissatisfaction in army ranks as to union with Aus tria or another recognized sphere of influence.
 Such a move has been the salient point in Hitler's Nazi Party plan and some dramatic move toward that end has often been reported as Hit ler's next step toward re-establish- ing Germany's position in Europe.
