tiff with Alcorn concerning the skipping around in the testimony Of Levy said, I'll get the entire record in, don't you worry"
 Levy told the grand jury, an en- tirely contradictory story to the one which he told the trial last week.
 He said that the procedure when he received a check from the city, was for him to take 1t to the Water bury Trust, where Carl Olsen would cash 1t. He said that he knew no one else but Olsen an the bank, and that he had been intro- duced by Kelly.
 Levy told the grand jury that he obtained the checks in the con- troller's office from Daniel J. Leary or a clerk, and the amount of each check was fixed at conference be- tween him and Kelly.
 His bills were made out by him In longhand at the City Hall he said, and there were no carbon copies made.
 Nutts ktcuuCcu
 Levy claimed that at many times he had seen letters from the util- ities company, confirming reductions of rates in the electricity bills of the city. He told the court he re- ceiyed Q set of such communica- tlons last January, 1888, showing the complete list of reductions from 1880 to l93-. It was shortly after this that he testified to the claim that the city is now realizing an annual saving of $30,000 as result of his work.
 Before the grand jury, Alcorn claimed that Levy received $l26,707 between 1880 and 1887. Levy only recalled, "less than $i00,000." He admitted that he had never studied electricity.
 A reference to contract between the c. L. & P. Go. and the city executed in 1927 by former Mayor Francis P. Guilfoile was made, Levy stating that 1t provided for the city to pay a fixed charge of $l9,000 a year He said that when he and Browning took over the contract, they hoped to eliminate" that charge.
 The tenth week of the trial-the 28th session--was underway today, with little official comment avail able as to the actual possibilities of length of continuation.
 It Is anticipated that as state witt nesses with grand jury experience are called, additional efforts will be made by defense counsel to obtain the transcript of their grand jury testimony. In the Levy case, Judge Inglis opened the grand jury testi- mony, only after Levy had admitted giving contradictory statements.
 Defense counsel are confident that their efforts to obtain further grand Jury testimony will be successful Special Prosecutor Alcorn is appar- ently undisturbed by the develop mentS.
 oss-examination of Levy by At torney Mcnpnough is expected to require some further considerable time. He Is only the second witness of the trial. having been preceded by City Clerk John P. Fitgmaurice, whose principal testimony concerned the transactions of business in his offlce.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

FOR THE first time in her life
Sarah Anne wished that Jack
Courtney was thousand miles
from wherever she was. But no, he
was flesh and blood and laughter,
standing on the sidewalk, watching
the expensive gray car flash down
the highway.
II gather Miss Importance didn't
like the idea of you and Bob strik-
ing up an interest,"" Jack was say
ing lazily. Funny girl, isn't she?
To throw him over-Bob's a gentle
man, so he'd let it be that way
and then come IN. Wonder if she
does care about him ?" He stopped
rejecting and grinned down at the
girl whose eyes were still wide
with wonderment. you're worth
seventeen hundred and eighty-nine
Of her. Bob's lucky guy"
Bob's lucky guy. Bob's a
lucky guy. The words went
with her the rest of the day.
Lucky! To have had his girl run
out on him because he was being
chivalrous about another person.
Well, she would write Bernice and
tell her how it was. Bob would
rot believe that, either. Bob had
to be seen some time. Might as
well do it tonight.
She had suspender dirndl dress,
made from gold and blue and white
linen. A white blouse, demure and
rounded, went with it. She would
wear it with white pumps. She tied
q blue ribbon around her dark
curls, picked up her bag and went
out the gate.
'fMay I see Mr.. Kennedy" she
asked his nurse, passing her in the
hall.
"If he isn't sleeping" the woman
answered. 1.-THE doctor gave him
some medicine, after he came from
the operating ROOM"
"The operating room" She
dropped her bag and never noticed
when the nurse retrieved it and
handed it to her.
The nur- laughed comfortably.
"What a fancee you are! But it's
just as well you didn't know about
it. You would have worried and
there's nothing to be scared about.
That-that vixen who's been here
put on stunt in his room. She had
the whole floor upset. He sat up too
fast, trying to carry on his share
Of the celebration, and we thought
he moved his leg. He didn't, fortu-
nately." :.
Sarah Anrc nodded. I'm glad.
She was excited, but she's all right.
She'll be back"
"Then I give up the case! Run
along and see if the boy is awake"
Sarah Anne opened the door. She
expected a cheerful voice to greet
her. She was not prepared for the

We would inoculate them against

It all sounds fine, but then we
wouldn't be Honaos at all. No, let's
not be guinea pigs. Guinea pigs
have no hot, tempestuous fires
sweeping across their placid lives.
They never drafted bill of rights,
never protested the arrogance of
authority. No guinea pig ever wrote

longed to "sail beyond the sunset

into the next afternoon, she won
dered about Bob and Bernice, jack
and Judith. She saw none of them.
She packed some sandwiches at
noon and went into the woods. She
wanted to look at herself, talk to
herself, be clean and true again.
For she wasn't now.
She was a coward, caught in the
meshes of her own weaving. Ever
now Jack and Judith might have
passed the knowledge on, OF that
false engagement. Oh, no, they
would not tell! But surely to Bob
they would mention it, if he werel
alone. And what would he say!
knowing that another girl, we'll
loved girl, might come into his
room any minute? He could not
deny his engagement to her, if an
issue arose.
In the woods she reached her de-
cision. She would have to trust Bob,
to protect Bernice from the hurt
ing knowledge, and she could sayl
nothing to anyone. When the tWoI
strangers left, she would forget
the incident, if she could.
But never, though she lived to bel
very old, would she trust lcvel
again. It hurt you so. 1t asked sol
much, then it gave nothing. AndI
it was no ones fault. Not Jacks,
not Judith's, for they had Fought
the new emotion. Not hers, for sheI
never doubted the devotion jack
brought back to her, nor would she
have asked had he not given.
She came out of the woods, back
to reality. Far down the street she
saw Jacks long body swinging
along with effortless grace. Would
he always turn a corner some
where? Would there sometime be
day when she would not care,
would not grow suddenly weak,
frightened, at the sight Of wide
shoulders and bright head so far
down any street?
An automobile was parked in
front of the parsonage. A long,
fast, gray car, and the girl at the
wheel had cherry tam drawn over
yellow curls.
you're here at lastw Bernice
Cooper said. IT don't wonder you
stayed away. Well, take him. He's
all yours! wanted to tell you son
But you don't understand"
Bernice had to believe this story.
Didn't he tell you?"
"Tell me what? That minister's
daughter asked him to play Gala
had so another man would think
she was out of his way? That's
pretty weak, even for Berryville!"
She stepped on the gas and the
motor let out a smooth purring.
Take him, tell you" Take him,
take him :"
She was still screaming the
words as her car bounded down the
street.
What nice girl she turned out
to bel" Sarah Jane swung around
swiftly. Jack was standing near.
What had he heard? What should
she tell him?

are"
There I am teaching the
third grade. Living in the parson-
age. Telling stories to children.
Playing the piano for the services.
And Jacks house will have Judith
in it
"Oh, Bob, you angel! How did it
happen? You never should have
flown that plane :"
The girl who came flying through
the door was fragile, beautiful, il
lusive. Her summer furs were fra
grant with perfume, and her hat
was an irresistible blue plume fas-
tened to a spot of blue straw. She
might have been plucked from the
rotogravure pages which special
lied in glamor girls, Sarah Anne
thought, remembering her own
simple wash frock and sandals.
The girl kissed Bob and sat
down on the bed, making remarks
about his leg, the pain, how she
missed him. He swung her around
to face Sarah Anne.
'"This is Sarah Anne Melton, the
minister's daughter, who"
ooh, how perfectly, dreadfully
sweet! So the minister uses his
daughter for his pastoral calling :?
Darling, arrived just in time to
save you from coming under Miss
Melton's spell. She held out her
hand then. "How do you do?" She
turned to Bob again. "She's dear.
I wouldn't blame YOU"
But her eyes said plainly that she
feared no competition. She was
safely enshrined on any throne she
chose.
II must CO." Sarah Anne said.
cts nice to have you here, Miss
Cooper. Bob won't be so lonely
now"
Loneliness and Bernice never
have met" he said. II don't think
they'd like each other" His words
were light enough, but his eyes
were worried. Sarah Anne, I'll
take care of that matter for you.

Sarah Anne came to me for adj

"Your cosmopolitan career has
taught you nothing at ALL" the girl
answered. Her voice was silvery,

much too much. But I'll be bet
ter"
So he had guessed. No one else
must. Right now, tonight, she must
straighten out her life She went
up the parsonage walk, feeling
that she walked to a beginning.
Judy was on the veranda.
She stood up, held out both
hands, and her eyes were so wise,
so warm, so affectionate that Sarah
Anne wanted to cry. "Oh, Sarah
Anne, I didn't mean to heap Goals
Of fire on you and Bob! I never
dreamed his old girl was in pur-
suit. Did she go? Is it all right ?"
"She went. It's all right" This
she could say. No more.
Good! Jacks picking me up in
a few minutes. We're going over to
Preston to movie" Preston was
the city 40 miles away. And we
want you to come. Pleased"
You could make sacrifices, but
you didn't have to be a sadist who
punished yourself by witnessing
other peoples happiness. No, she
would not go. She had a life to put
in order. A new life in which there
would not be Jack. She had a
whole scrapbook Of clippings and
pictures to destroy, some letters,
pitifully few they were, to burn.
Oh, she hac been a fool to think
she had building material for the
| future.
She was beginning to refuse
when Miss Sarah, sitting in the
shadows, spoke up. "Of course
she'll go. Not one thing here for
her to do. Seems to me any girl as
pretty as Sarah Anne would grab
herself young man to take her
around :"
II think we are helping that
along" Miss Anne added. 1--WE met
a man at the hotel-well, you'll see
tomorrow. We like him, Sarah
Anne. We approve"
Light, dark or medium ?" Judy
asked, as one would say, "Choco-
late, vanilla or peppermint ?"
Ozark and thin and tall, with
eyes-well, most mems eyes are
simple and kind. No mystery" add
ed Miss Anne. "But this man has
glamor. Oh, perfectly nice, a gen.
tleman-"
"Young?" Corrinne asked, paus-
ing at the door as she ran in to
grab sweater while a jallopy,
overlooking with college boys,
waited in front of the house.
Young enough-maybe thirty
one or two" Miss Sarah spoke.
"He hates hOtels-especially the
Berryville Ones" her sister added.
"And I know your mother wants
to have so much company"
"The gentleman is writer on
business subjects. This is his pivot
for the summer-works out to get
information. Now, if he took your
room"
A long toot, followed by two
short ones, sounded at the curb.
Sarah Anne had not heard it since
she was in college. Now it didn't
call to her. It wanted somebody
else. But you climbed on, climbed
up, climbed high!
Come on, judy" she said. But
at the car she stopped. There was
no room for her. Jack already had
his extra passenger.

She sat down to wait until he
Weakened. He heard her chair creak
and his eyes opened.
"Bernice, I knew you'd come
back, you little" There was a
touch of the old banter in the tone.
Sarah Anne moved forward quickly.
"It's not Bernice. I'm sorry. I1l
get her for you."
The tanned face slowly broke
into a smile and the eyes tried to
join it. "Skip it, Sarah Anne. That's
the one thing you mustn't do.
Promise?"
But why?"
Because I don't want her unless
she comes because she believes me
and tells me SO. Faith is important,
you know. If she doesn't have it for

"How do you know"
II know the lady!" He was talk
ing lightly, he was laughing, but
his voice, his eyes, his very body
under the white coverlet looked
hurt. And she, Sarah Anne Melton,
who hadn't wanted to hurt anyone,
had done this to him.

"Hey, wait! She gave herself

don't want her to come at all.
You're not at fault. If it hadn't
been this it would have been some

huskily. "And you're about crazy

and stood in corner. But I'll not
interfere. Not for a little while.
But then I will. And tell me, how

you and me-"

Of married life. But We'll make up

Women who loved men for their
records loved them not at all.
Sarah Anne knew that. So did Bob.
They sat together, while the sick
ishly sweet smell Of anesthesia
came down the corridor. That, too,
was to be among the memories
Sarah Anne would have when she
was quite old. That and the thin
silver Of a moon above the elm

forced merriment in proud young
face.
She stood up. Bob was suffering
as she was. His girl had gone
away, just as Jack had. Only
maybe he could get back the girl.
