the bone all my life to make me hap
py?" And she turned and fled up
the path toward the great house
which for three generations had been
occupied by Lintons.
She tried not to think of the tall,
laughing, handsome man she had left
at the gate She remembered only
that he had taken advantage of her
willingness to be friendly, and insult
ed her by proposing marriage. Her
blood ran hot at the memory.
The next morning there was a note
for her from Doug. Three or even
two generations ago probably would
have jumped in the lake with shame.
Not today. Times have changed.
Wake up. little girl, wake up"
June tore the note to shreds. The
utter insolence of the man! For her
nothing had changed These stories
she had heard about the modern
equality of all people. the Punishment
of class Distinction, were ridicu-
lous.
During the weeks that followed June
wondered how one inconsequential in
cident in a girls life could remain so
vividly clear in her thoughts. An
noyed, furious at herself, she delib-
erately interested herself in matters
which. ordinarily, would have occu-
pied her attention only for the mo-
ment.
Then, Unexpectedly, something hap
pened to make it impossible for her
to forget Doug Geery The Plains
vile Evening Star carried the an
nouncement that he was running in
opposition to her father for the State
Legislature.
June's cheeks burned with indigna-
ton. To her and her family this was
deliberate affront. A Linton had
represented the Plainsville district at
the State capitol for generations. The
common people had taken it as a
matter Of course. 1t never occurred
to any of them to oppose a Linton
candidacy.
N l he Gays tnat followed, Low
ever, Junes Indignation gave way
to alarm. The Evening Star, faith
fully reporting the campaigns of the
two candidates. hinted that young
Doug Geerys opportunities of success
were good. One of the big metro
politan dailies that had a circula-
ton in Plainsville carried an edi-
torial, 1t was high time, declared
the writer. that someone in Plains
vile displayed enough courage to
oppose Linton. When q man takes
his job as matter of course, not so
much might be expected of him as
from the man who considered repre-
sentlng the people a serious business.
June considered penning a scath-

A MOTHER day passed and another.
Then the Star carried a start
ling announcement. Doug Geery was
dropping out Of the race! Without
giving any reason for the move, he
had simply quit. The people were
wild. It was too late to produce an
other candidate. Ezra Lintons elec-
ton was assured.
June read the article through twice.
Then she went to the phone and called
Doug's number. No one answered.
She hung up and. beset by sudden
impulse, she got her hat and went
out. Ten minutes later she raped
on Dougs office door.

Waiting for the daily papers was

Stevenson
Center For
Arnusernents
Theatre Is One of
Most Modern a n d
Best Equipped To Be
Found Anywhere

For more than a quarter of cen
tury the amusement business in Hen
dcrson has more or less centered
around S. S. Stevenson, who has lived
here nearly 80 years of the best part
Of his active life. Nearly ever since
ne has been a Henderson citizen he
has been interested in one way or an
other most of the time in nearly every
theatre that has operated in the city
Today the Stevenson theatre which
bears his name, is known throughout
the State and elsewhere as one of the
most modern theatres to be found any
where. 1t is not as large. as some of
those in the big cities, but it is as
we'll equipped and as comfortable and
offers the public as high class amuse-
ment as any of them.
The Stevenson theatre, by that
name. came into being eleven years
ago. Mr.. Stevenson is general man
ager of the company, and was the
moving spirit in its organization. AL
ways he has taken pride in giving
his hometown folks the best that was
to be had in the way of clean, whole
some amusement and entertainment
At the Stevenson, patrons can see
the latest releases of newest pictures,
featuring the most prominent stars of
Hollywood, and the familiar subjects
usually expected in modern movie
houses. The theatre is aforementioned
and always is comfortable and well
ventilated in summer or winter. 1t is
just simply a pleasure to walk into
the Stevenson theatre and sit down
for a two-hour program of entertain
ment. And when one sees the program
through and leaves, he is satisfied he
has been given his moneys worth.
A recent addition to the Stevenson
is the theatre acousticon''. 1t has
been installed for those who are hard
of hearing, and is an extra service
that is offered free to those desiring
it. The arrangement makes it possible
for those who are hard of hearing to

upon entering the theatre.
Every member OF the Stevenson or

and booster. The theatre invites it's
friends to compare its programs, its
service, its equipment and it's sur
roundings with any other theatre. AnC
as the fall marketing season ap-

laws regarding the hiring of minors Is not affected by the fact that the applicant for work may display an account card" he continued. Pos session of an account number card is not evidence of anything except that the holder has established the right to have set up for him wage account number under the federal old-age insurance system. The wage account is for use in connection with the eventual determination of the amount of old-age insurance to which the wage earner will be en- titled when he reaches the age of 65 or dies. These same account num- bers are used in connection with the administration of state unemploy- ment compensation laws "
 Beyond these two uses, MT. Corson pointed out, the card has no signifi- canoe. Tt should not" he said, "be accepted by merchants as identifica- tion when exhibited by persons who want to open accounts or have checks cashed, nor should it be re- garded by employers as evidence that young person may be hired in accordance with child labor require- ments."
