CHAPTER "a

THE STORY of Enid, the par
lor-maid, told in answer 20 LORD
Simon's tentative questions about
the past was an unexpected one.
She had been born in London, the
daughter of a Greek mother and an
English father. Her father kept
a newspaper shop. and did bit
for q race bookie", but when she
was about IL he had come home
one day to say that a certain
gang was out for his blood, and
that he had to disappear. She had
never known whether the story
was true, or merely an excuse for
him to leave her mother, but at
all events he had gone, and none
Of them had seen him since.
He left his foreign wife. the
shop, Enid and her brother, the n a
lad of Is. The mother hao been
quite incapable of keeping the
shop going, since she could not
even write English. Within two
months their stock was seized for
arrears in rent, and the three of
them moved into one room.
Sergeant Beef interrupted at
this point in his official capacity.
Zone room ?" he asked.
Enid shifted. "Tlere was a
curtain down the middle Of it" she
said, and continued her story.
According to her own account
she had then appeared 20 be at
least 16 years old. and soon got a
job for herself as : domestic SER

sweet and tobacco shop in Batter

she did not merely mean getting

with more educated people from
whom she could learn how to be-

Her ambitions seemed to have
been entirely social. Upwards"
to her meant nearer refinement.
And felt, as she talked, that she
had let nothing stand in her way
in that pursuit. A new express

not over by any means. There were
the Harry Fields. They had been
married -four years. Long enough
for something to take a certain some
thing away from their marriage. Har-
ny worked in the laboratory all the
time and Betty claimed he never
had any time to take her out. Ere.
uently at community socials Betty
would have to leave early because
Harry must get home and get his
rest for his everlasting research. Bet
ty didn't have much fun.
Billy wasn't so bad after all. He
never picked and scolded like some
of h other boys when they thought
they had dates with her and found
out they didn't. He just looked at
her with that sort Of hurt expression
in his nice hazel eyes. And her
heart would give a little twist and
she'd want to wildly throw herself
in his arms and tell him not to ever
let her go again. to make her say
yes" without further waste of time.
She guessed she was a little fool.
Men like Billy didn't grow on trees.
That was what Grandmother Kirk
had said. And she must know.
The trouble was Billy just loved
her too much. He petted her and
gave in to her until she was dead
spoiled. He was too understanding
and too patient. He was Just per-
feet. Too perfect. Why didn't he
beat her and then take her in his
arms n demand forgiveness. But
nc, Billy would never do a thing like
that to her. H., was too much of a
gentleman.

now since he had slammed the door
saying he'd never come back. All
because she had said she was going
with Don Woods to the country club
dance Saturday night and up to his
lodge with a gay party for breakfast
afterwards.
A door slammed. She looked up
startled, to see Billy standing in the
door a sort of grim determined look
on his face.
Are you coming with me or do

manded.
Now look here, just what do you
think you are going to do?" she
asked.
Nothing except put you in my car
and go over the line to Rovermouth

shyly. And he opened a tiny box

Mississippi's Forests Should Be Soved

The Mississippi Forestry Association, recently re-
organized, held an enthusiastic meeting in Jackson Fri
day which was attended by representatives of every
county IN the state, according to reports.
The announced purpose of the meeting was to
launch an intensive campaign to place Mississippi on
even terms with other southern states in competition
for new paper and pulp mills, in which millions of dol
lars are now being invested in the South"
Legislation designed to solve our forestry prob
lens haua boon drafted for consideration by the legis-
lahve forestry committee, according to Lieut.. Gov. j. B.
Snider, who was principal speaker of the occasion.
They will not be made public until formal committee
action has been taken.
It is understood, however, that the report will con-
tain three major provisions, exemption from taxes on
growing timber, extension of organized forest fire pro-
lection throughout the entire state and a severance tax
to finance the program.
Whether the committee plans will work out and
achieve the desired purpose is not known to us. We
are Of the opinion, however, that whatever has to be
done to save the timber we have and to replace that
which has been ruthlessly destroyed should be done and
with as much e~xpediency as possible.
There is nothing that sends a shiver Of horror
through ones being IS to 60 through a ghost lumber

with people and their families. and today stands
silent and dead as a tomb to mock the mills that have
destroyed them.
A state cannot be wealthy stripped Of its natural
resources.
Lumber is one of the natural resources we can pre-
serve by intelligent long-term planning.
No sacrifice is too great to save our forests.

Fother's Day Will Be Observed June 10Th
Sunday, June 19, is Fathers Day.
For many years we have honored our mothers and
we will continue to honor them. We have sung the
praises Of womanhood and motherhood to such an extent
that we haven't always given Father his due.
But then when has Father ever had his due in most
families?
Most Of the time it's Mother who gets her new
permanent wave and Susie who goes to the expensive
camps for the summer while Father stays home and
works.
And if, by chance, he should take an outing it is
to don old clothes to 60 fishing or hunting. Never
anything on q big scale.
When man is very young he spends all his money
and extra time on his girls. When he marres he bends
every effort toward supporting his wife and his home.
When the children are very young he saves his money
for their education. When they grow older he saves
so that he will have something to leave them when he
passes on.
Yes, Father is a great guy.
Remember him on his day.
