TILDA MAY tipped the dishcloth
on to its place on the towel rack
and turned to survey the tawdry
little figure on the chair near the
door.
She managed to veil the hostility
in her eyes, and she bit her tongue
to keep it from saying, $50 you're
in again" Instead she said, "I
s'pose you're hungry"
Beverly nodded
Il haven't eaten anything since
early this morning." she admitted.
Tilda May silently put the coffee
pot on the stove, sliced cold lamb
and deftly set bread and butter,
marmalade and a dish of preserved
peaches in a tempting array on the
table, wondering all the while what
this daughter of Toms had on her
mind now.
When she married Tom Taylor
she had said to this daughter of his,
Remember, Beverly, there will al
ways be a welcoming light in the
window for YOU" Beverly, it
seemed, had always remembered
when she needed something.
She had been at a stage school

That was eight years ago. Time

had painstakingly saved money out
of her budget for a vacation, for a
new automobile, for a dress, only to
have it wormed away from her by
an appeal from Beverly.

perhaps your correspondent is not
qualified to express any opinions on the
matter but it seems that most marriages
today lack the "give-and-take" spirit
so essential to marital bliss. In addition
to this married people must like, as we'll
as love, each other. When Love-" with
its brilliant fame quiets down to a
steady glow, Like with its mutual
interest and understanding must be
there to substitute for burning excite
ment. Marriages which have both

which, in our naive opinion, are able to
stand the test of time tsk, tsk.
The subject of marriage brings to mind
a recent editorial in the Boston Trave-
Ter. 1t seems that Mr.. Jones was on his
death-bed and to his fearful wife he
said: Mrs Jones, if you ever look at
another man after I'm gone I'll turn
over in my grave" On Bonded knees,
Mrs. j. promised she would keep the
faith. Well, in due time Mrs. J. also
went to her reward and when she
reached the pearly gates, she said to ole
st. Peter: "I'm looking for Mr.. Jones'"
To which ole st. Peter says: isis
ter, there are a whole lot of Joneses
up here. What's his first name?" It
seems that her husbands first name was
John and that didn't help any because
there were a mess of John JOneses up
there. Listen lady," says st. Peter,
Cant you remember anything he said
or did that would help us identify him ?"
The lady thought a moment then says:
"Well, the last thing he said before he
died was that if | ever looked at another
man he'd turn over in his gravel"
ooh, chirped St. Pete, you're looking
for 'Whirling' Jones p Burt Walker
tossed nice affair last Friday pm. at
Mile Davenport's Studio but due to a
miX-up of dates many of the people who

The energetic Burt isn't disheartened
however and he's planning bigger and

distant future. With fair shake of
the dice, his next attempt should 90
over the top, and we're pulling for
him. ... And so, Til another week and

were ready to buy another bunga-
low.
And here she was again. Tilda
May watched her out of the corner
of wary eye. She ate like hun
cry little animal. She looked ill,
in spite of the superfuous coat of
rouge on her face, and in spite of
herself, her stepmother's heart
warmed towards her. After all, she
was Toms, and the welcoming light
was still shining in the window for
her.
"You quite we'll, Beverly?" she
asked, as she sat down opposite the
girl.
Beverly shook her head.
THAT'S what 1 came about, Til
da." she said. 81 got a bum lung.
The doctor says 1 got to go away.
He gives me less'n six months un-
less l go to Denver"
Tilda Mays heart sank. Denver!
All the money she and Tom had
raked together for much-needed
trip to California would have to go
to Beverly now, for doctors, and a
trip to Denver.
''She shan't have ito her heart
rebelled. "You deserve a vacation,
You worked hard for that money.
What good is she? What's she done
for you? For her father? For her
baby?"
"Tilda," the girls tired voice
smote her. I'm scared to die"
"You amt going to die, Beverly"
the older woman soothed her. "I'u
see that you have the money in the
morning."
Beverly hung her head.
Can see my baby?" she asked.
Tilda May led the way to the
bedroom where the mite lay asleep
in her crib, charming, rosy bit of
humanity, one chubby hand tucked
under her cheek, the other clutch
ing a shabby rag doll.
She's lovely!" breathed Beverly.
Then, suddenly, she turned, and
threw herself into Tilda Mays arms.
Don't let her be like me-" she
sobbed. "I'm bad. Make her-like
you. Oh, if I'd only listened to things
you've said to me-"
Tilda May drew the girl close.
There, there" she soothed.
"You go to Denver, and get well.
Then you'd best come and live here
with your father and me-"
Tom had grudgingly given up his
trip.

interposed, valiantly.
And when the telegram came
three months later, she was glad she
had been good to Beverly. Beverly
had lost her fight. She had died in
Denver.
Poor little Beverly" said Tilda
May, wiping away tear.
"She was drag on you," put in
Tom Taylor, averting his eyes.
"And her kid'll be another drag"

Tended her, staunchly. She'll have

Children need homes and parents.
Mothers that love them, and under

the home intact. If God will only
let me live, this child shall have Bev-
erly's chance, Tom"
"Guess you're right, Tilda, said
Tom.

the window for Beverly shone brave
ly out into the night, as if to try
to tell Beverly that all was we'll.

Today there are 35 such counties.
Four years ago all but seven Of the
States hundred counties had less

such counties.
Not a county in the State had be-

In miles of lines, Union county
now stands first in the state, with
56047 miles built, building or au-

Oddly enough, No. 100 in the mile

be too long to recite in detail, but
I'll refer to one that l observed al
first hand while in the newspaper

A North Americanly inspired con-
Germ known as the International
Products Company resolved to pro-
mote Paraguay's cattle resources. Il
acquired coolies of Paraguayan range
on which to raise the critters and eS-
tablished a big packing plant (call-

An analysis of the more than

port.
This shows:
'The public utility companies have
invested $8,125, 3O5.27, the North
Carolina municipalities have invest
ed $84O,343.49 and various cooper
atives have borrowed $4,81O,45O to
invest in rural lines. This is total
of $13,776,O9876 invested in power
lines in four years. Surveys in Cur
rituck county and elsewhere indicate
rural customers invest dollar for dol
lar in wiring and equipment. AS
Stunning this is true for all lines ap-
proved since 1884, it would mean a
minimum investment of $27, 552, 1877
