Have Margy deal them out at the door," he advised, "just to show there's no ill feeling against the hard-worked press. Aside from that, Mrs. Cantrell, has nothing more to say.'"
 She definitely has not" con- firmed Aunt Mary grimly.
 Janet had to rush of at once. There were a myriad errands she had to attend to before her visit to MT. Bryants office. For one thing, she was to meet Lance at Stauffer's to select the twin rings they were going to use in the cere- mony.
 Lance did not see her when she first went into Stauffer's. His brows were bent over the morning paper. When she spoke to him, and he looked up, she was shocked by the pale anger of the face he turned toward her.
 ,"So this was why she ditched Mcknight" Lance said, thrusting the paper into Janet's hands. of course I knew all along that never would come to anyth::.g-but how could Cynthia do anything so cheap and common as this?"
 I've never heard that there was anything essentially cheap or com mon about getting married" Janet said, trying to laugh.
 She glanced at the paper-a copy of the Bulletin, the most sensation al of the morning sheets It was all there in glaring headlines, with pictures of Cynthia and Tim othy Benton.
 You know what mean" Lance said through tight lips. "She doesn't care a thing for that roughneck - not even so much as she did for Barney Mcknight"
 Lance" Janet said, nettled as she always was by criticism of Cynthia, T don't like you to speak that way about my cousin. Any how, how do you know?"
 For a moment he stood staring at her as if startled by her ques- ton. Then his frown vanished, and he was his usual engaging self.
 Don't let's quarrel. Jan," he cried. of course what worries me about the whole thing is the annoyance it's bound to subject you to. And you must admit it is a little embarrassing just before our wedding"
 After they had selected the rings, Janet hurried off on her dizzy round for the day-a fitting, her visit to MT. Bryant's office, the luncheon at Sylvia Grants house, a finger wave squeezed in somehow and then supper with Lance downtown.
 When she put down her bag at the dressmaker's, she realized that she was still carrying the copy of the Bulletin which Lance had put into her hand. She folded it and put it with the rest of her things, thinking that she would read the story about Cynthia as soon as she had an opportunity. She might as well have some idea of the worst that was being said.
 The gowns were going to be lovely. There was @ sea-green evening gown with bouffant skirt and a tiny jacket of sequins that Lance would love, a beauti- fully trim afternoon frock of vel vet in deep blue, and black din-

ner dress with touches of jade. The one Janet liked best was a knitted wool in shades of brown and orange and russet, pointed with green, which suggested an autumn wood And there were others.
 Suddenly Janet wondered just why she had imagined she could need so many dresses. She wonder ed still more after she had asked for and been given Q tentative esti- mate of the entire bill, so that she might have some definite idea how much money she would need before she talked to MT. Bryant.
 MT. Bryant listened silently as she explained her financial dilem- ma to him, his eyes upon the blot ter of his desk, upon which he was absently sketching while she talked. When she had finished, he sat silent for so long that Janet thought, he's trying to think of some polite way to tell me what a fool am.
 of course" she added defen- sively, "I'm just beginning to real ize that I have been pretty ex- travagant lately but after all you only get married one-at least" " she amended with a confident little smile, T do And I'm going to be really careful after this, with the payments on the house to take care of-unti1 Lance is on his feet, of course Oh, yes and the money I'll need to help Aunt Mary little."
 It was not until she had fin- ished, and MT. Bryant lifted his eyes that she realized how very grave he was looking.
 Miss Janet" he said, T am afraid I have some startling news for you wonder if you ever read the financial pages of the newspapers?'
 "Of course not" Janet said.
 Why should she?" Her only in- terest in money was that it should be there when she needed it, as 1t always had been. Besides, she had seldom before spent up to the full amount of her income.
 'Then you don't know that things have been jittery on Wall Street for the past week or SOP"
 "Why-no," Janet said; then, trying to smile, "Is it important?" (To Be Continued)

Ron Away From Creditors And Found the Pacific

HAVING no particular future at AA home, adventurous Vasco Nunez de Balboa joined the great mercantile expedition of Rodrigo de Bastidas headed for the New World in the early 1600s.
 On arrival. Balboa established himself in Santo Domingo and be- gan to develop plantation. But he was not successful, plunged heavily into debt. In order to escape his creditors, he had him. self smuggled in cask on board a ship and joined the expedition to Darien in l510.
 Insurrection took place not long after the start, however, and Bal boa became supreme in command. At the same time he heard rumors of great ocean to the west and in l5l3 he pressed on anew to find it. On Sept. 25 he was the first European to see the Pacific from American shores
 Balboa saw 1t from a mountain top in the Isthmus of Panama On the 29th he reached the water itself at point still known by the name he gave to it. the Gulf of San Miguel. Promptly he took possession in the name of Spain, called the ocean the Mar del Sur, or the South Sea.
 But the discovery was to prove disastrous to Balboa. He was at length involved in a plot and was charged with being rebel. He was beheaded at Acla in l5l7. Balboa, discovering the Pacific, is shown above on a 1915 stamp oe the Panama Republic, one of eight of the Panama Exposition issue. Copyright. 1888. NEA Service. Inc.l

CHAPTER TX

Margy opened the door, and came back into the dining room, closely followed by Barney Mcknight.
 q hope I'm the first of my tribe. I know mighty well won't be the last" he began grimly. Mrs. Cantrell, I'd like to help you and Janet handle this if you'll let me"
 "You mean about - Cynthia? Then you've heard?" Janet asked.
 Every newspaper in town has the essentials - that they were married by the parson of that little all-night church off the square, with special license a friend of Benton's wangled for them"
 That, Janet thought, was one thing 1t had not occurred to Gym thia to tell her.
 What the papers are all going to want" Barney was going on, "is the heart-throb stuff - you know, the sobs of the heart-broken grandmother and the homicidal fury of the tilted lover"
 "Oh, Barney, I hope you're not going to be dragged into this, " Janet cried.
 Forget it! The important thing is that you and your aunt mustn't be bounded by reporters all day. Now, I'm not asking anything ex- elusive for the News. My idea was that we might cook up simple announcement of the wedding, signed by Mrs. Cantrell, to be passed out to all corners |. Just that, and nothing more, no matter how they howl and beat their chests"
 Young man." said Aunt Mary, T think you have something there. I more and more regret that we're not to keep you in the family"
 He grinned impudently down at her from the arm of the chair on which he had perched.
 Well, you're free, white, and 21," he suggested. You better make the most of your opportuni- ties. may not be in the market long"
 "That Irish tongue of yours will get you into trouble yet, young man." Aunt Mary phophesied; but her eyes twinkled.
 "Of course" Barney went on, "the papers will all play up the angle of Benton's two divorces; and we can't soft-peddle anything Cynthia and Benton may choose to give out, or the gossip of their friends. But we may save you some annoyance"
 Together they devised & brief, dignified paragraph: Mrs. Mary Cantrell, of the Breckenridge Apartments, announces -; and Barney made copies for all the city papers.

Congress Abondons Hope

WASHINGTON, April 20. OUP)-
The European situation and i'm

domestic policies have forced ad-
ministration leaders to abandon
plans for a sine die adjournment
of congress in mid-June, 1t was re
ported today.
Only a few weeks ago business
men wanted the legislators to dis
pose of routine appropriation bills,
repeal certain taxes, economic on
relief spending, and go home. They
wanted no more reform legislation
and President Roosevelt assured
them that none was contemplated
1t was believed then that mod
crate changes in the neutrality laws
would meet this nations problems
growing out of aggressive moves by
Europe's dictators. The president
consented to revisions in the relief
set up and endorsed liberalization
of social security benefits.
Italy invaded Albania and pre-
jcipitated a fresh crisis. Congress

mates and forced him to accept a
$50,000,000 cut. The president pour
ed cold water on the business ap-
peasement plans and his aides jam
med through congress a modified
government reorganization bill.
The same leaders who a fort
night ago forecast adjournment
early III June said today that they
would be lucky to get the legislators
home late in July. They have not

even fixed a tentative date at which
to aim and intimated that none
would be set until the European
situation is clarified.
Considerable sentiment has de-
veloped in both houses to keep con-
gi ess in session as a constant watch
dog over this nations moves in the
international imbroglio.
On the domestic front controversy
will focus on:
l. The proposed 81 100000 re-
lief appropriation and legislation
to revamp the entire relief set-up.
