First in number are the reports
that this candidate, or that candidate
or the other candidate has definitely
decided to run or not to run and that
he is on the point either Of announc-

Second only to this category of

Governor Hoey and the administra-

to back such and such an aspirant.
Then trailing these numerically are

She considered asking Randy to
change the location Of his dinner.
Finally, assuring herself that Car
ma had too much poise and dignity
to do anything melcdramatic, she
forgot her.
Marian left the ONCE early. At
the beauty parlor, her own special
operator combed her hair and
changed the. polish on her nails.
Dan picked her up and they
dorve home in a nerve-destroying
silence.
Later, dressed in the new Eisen-
berg, Marian might have stepped
from the cover of a fashion maya
zine. Even her face might have
belonged to the pictured girl life
less, carefully expressionless. She
and Dan went to Dolly's apartment
to await Randy's coming.
Dolly's attire, aided and abetted
by Marian, was above reproach.
There was beautiful sheen to
her amber-co lored hair, the little
pancake hat sat cunningly over
one eyes. The black suit fitted her
round, pretty figur snugly, her
white gloves were new, not sign
of handkerchief was visible.
Inner radiance softened her eyes
and sweetly curved her lips. Dan
looked from her to Marian and
back again.
Randy came and Marian was
amazed at Dolly's easy, charming
manner. They drove to the club
in Randy's car, long and low,
streamlined as a torpedo. Marian
and Dan sat in the wide back seat,
far apart, an eternity apart in
spirit. WEAKNESS dragged at Mar
ian. That evening had become a
test of endurance.
At the club, going with Dolly
to the ladies' lounge, Marians
heart skipped a beat. Had she
seen Carma at the top of the steps
which led to the bar? It couldn't
have been Carma. She had been
mistaken. In spite of herself, she
had a chilled sense of foreboding.
That woman going down to the
bar-she had only seen her back
dark purple gown - rich furs -
had Carma mentioned a purple
ensemble?

CHAPTER XIX

without speaking to Dan, Marian
went back to her own apartment
and prepared for bed. 1t was a rite
and she never neglected one de-
tail She heard a cribbage game go
ing on across the hall. She did not
know when Dan came in.
The next morning she awoke to
cold realty. The fortifying wall had
crumbled during the night and with
difficulty she erected it again. She
and Dan breakfasted politely, they
might have been mere acquaint-
ances. Driving to the office, Marian
felt unable to face the day without
a better understanding with Dan.
I'VE haven't much except each
other, Dan" she said.
He answered brusquely, I'VE
lost each other a long time ago."
"How?" fearfully.
He scowled. 81 wouldn't know.
We haven't hung together. We
haven't had the same interests"
rs it too late for us to go back
and try again?"
"I'm afraid so. The thread
which held us together has
stretched and stretched and finally
snapped. I think it snapped last
Sunday night"
Frantically, she asked, Couldn't
we find the ends and tie them to-
gether again? 1t might not be just
the same, but better than this,
Dan. I need you"
His laugh Jared on her over
wrought SensibilitieS. Think it
over. Marian, and you'll find that
you don't need me at all, not in
any way"
Marian got from the car at the
building entrance. Without a word,
she hurried through the revolving
doors. She was furious. She had
humbled herself to Dan Hardness
for the last time. She had been a
good wife to him, faithful and true.
Size had loved him in spite of his
shortcomings. And now he had the
unmitigated nerve to affront her
advances with epigrams--a broken
thread-indeed. All right - Il he
wanted it that way Mounting an
ger carried her to the closet where
she slammed her hat into the box
Turning to the mirror, she look
ed into terrified eyes and the anger
rolled away, leaving her shaken and
filled with dread. What if the doc
tor had been right? Why had Dan
stopped loving her now-oh, why?
She needed him, never had she
needed him so desperately.
A little voice whispered, Hes
always failed you. What did you
eXpect?"
With tightly compressed lips, she
went to her desk, lifted the paper

mail. The morning passed on
leaden feet of duty. Marian felt
Mr.. Fellows eyes upon her, specu-
latjve, somehow regretful. When
he said, sally Blake can get out
T, the letters from now on, Marian.
1t will give you more time to work
on the charts" she turned away,
her eyes blinded with weak tears.
By finding a new job for herself,
she had again defeated her pur-
pose. With Sally constantly at Mr..
Fellows elbow, it meant that Mar
ian lost intimate touch with Office
affairs. 1t meant that, more and
more, Sally would be consulted,
that she would know the answers.
Making the charts was a routine
task; any one of the girls, with a
little help, could have done it.
Why had she let herself in for
such a tragic miscarriage of plans?
She thought of taking the mat
ter over with Mr.. Fellows, sug-
costing that Sally take over the
tiresome making of charts She
was afraid to risk it. Afraid
always afraid. G. F. was not stu
pid, he knew what he was doing.
Any conversation might bring
things to a dangerous crisis. One
injudicious remark might mean
the end.
Shortly before noon Carma called.
Marian was in no mood for Carma.
How about lunch today?' she
asked.
I'm so sorry" Marian lied. II
have an engagement today"
There was a little disappointed
silence, then, II wanted to ask a
favor of you"
I'll do anything, Carma."
II thought you might see Randy

interested in Dolly. Am I right
or wrong?" trying to be fippant.
More or less right"
1T thought so. wouldn't you
know it, Marian? Men are such
fools, a pretty baby stare = the
little woman complex" There
was a weary, bewildered bitter
ness in her voice.
Listen, Carma-I'm supposed to
be working"
ooh, yes sorry. This Is what
I wanted to say. I just learned
that the girl Pete married-Julie"
the name on her lips had a
twisted sound-"was Randy's Sec
rotary"
Eyes, I know
Find out about her, will you,
Marian? How old is she? Where
did she come from? Are they
happy or - or has Pete sold him
self down the river to punish me?"
She was crying, the questions
came perkily.
I'm going to see Julie tonight,
Carma" Instantly Marian wished
she had not told Carma that. No
use keeping the thing alive. The
sooner she found a life of her own,
life in which Pete and his wife
did not exist, the happier she
would be.
Carma pounced. when are you

"Oh, Randy - he lives at the
Medinah Club, he always enter

the finest in Chicago-hm-m'
Although they were miles apart,
Marian could read her thoughts.
Carma was in the frame of mind
to do something rash. Why had
she been such a fool as to tell her?
Forget it /, Carma," she said
urgently. IT wish I hadn't told
you. I'll get first-hand informa-

Soviet Honors Ukroine,s
Famed Poet Of Freedom


WORLD attention is focused up.
on the Ukraine, the granary OF
eastern Europe, announced objec.
tive Of Hitler's drive toward the
east. Soviet Russia is determined
to fight to keep this rich and fertile
territory which Nazi Germany
eyes so enviously.
It was a wise move, therefore,
on the part of the Soviet Postal
Administration to issue a set Of
three stamps honoring Taras
Shevchenko, beloved painter and
poet, who gave the Ukrainians
their favorite songs of freedom.
In the Ukraine Shevchenko is a
national hero. A museum in Kanev
is named for him and monuments
to him may be found in Alex
androvsk, Kharkov and other
cities.
Shevchenko was born on March
o, 1914 in Kilillovka. His first
picture, drawn with charcoal on
the wall of the village school,
brought him a whipping. His first
poem, written in l841, praised an
uprising of the peasants. won him
enduring fame.
Under the Gears, Shevchenko's
poetry was prohibited and he was
imprisoned for II years for writ
ing "inciting and libelous conn
positions" Some Of his most ia.
nous paintings were inspired by
his experiences in prison.
He died in st. Petersburg in
1861 and Is buried near Kanev.
The last portrait of the poet is
shown on the Soviet stamp above,
issued in commemoration of his
birth. A portrait as a youth and
a reproduction of his monument at
Kharkov are shown on the other
stamps Of the issue.
