 A shudder of fear ran the length of Susie's spine. I'm scared, MT, Bowman. This thing Is too fantastic to believe. You and I know that I'm impossible. Mir. Harker will see 1t in the morning and send me back home, I'm not afraid of what he's going to do, it's what he will refuse to do." This was @ long, involved speech for Susie,
 "You don't know John Harker. He won't send you home. If there's anything he likes it's a battle. Jef blushed. T didn't mean that just the way 1t sounds"
 Susie laughed again, Q soft trin- kle. Hell find Q war on his hands when he tackles me-" she said.
 Jeff wanted to reassure her. He wanted to tell her that she wasn't so bad. Honesty kept him silent, Badp She was terrible.

 On one point Jeff was pleased. Susie Lambert was not stupid, Knowing little of girls and caring less, he had Q strong conviction that beauty and attractiveness must come from within, Allure must have something behind it. Very dubious as to Susie's possi- bilities for even mild beauty, he already knew that she had something,

!, man. Mir. Harker sent me down to meet you"
 Susie gave him her hand, stam. merlng a greeting, trying to re. member where she had seen him.
 How about baggage" he said reaching for her rattan suitcase.
 That's all," she managed to say She was hot and cold by turns and dreadfully embarrassed, JeH went on being friendly, appearing not to notice her confusion,
 He said T leaned my car against Q curb somewhere around here Let's see If we can find it.
 His easy manner released her nervous tension and she eXhaled a deep signing breath. He smiled down at her. That's ,right--untie the knots. You're among friends"
 She glanced at him sidewise from her long eyes. The day was to come vixen that sidelong glance of Susie's was to be quite devastat- ing, At that moment it did noth- ing but see the young man beside her.
 "Now I know who you are," she said, quite spontaneously for Susie, You came in the waffle shop lock- ing for Lambert family"
 He laughed pleasantly, Pooled you, didn't Ip"
 Fooled me2"
 He told her seriously, "1 was sleuthing - being a coVer-up man scouting for you. If everything else fails can be detective
 Susie thought this over. When she spoke 1t was to make one of the first clever remarks of her life, q guess you were boy scouting" she said, q was your good deed for that day"
 Jeff's brows shot up. Not so bad, Maybe she did have something hidden under the pounds,
 q take 1t you wanted to come, " he remarked,
 q had to come" she said sim ply. "I'm so tired of being myself, so sick of me-" With Q little im- pulsive rush she asked, Do you think MT. Harker can make me someone else?"
 Right then Jeff saw her as an individual, not merely Q subject for the Chiefs well-meant experi- ments. And right then Jeff liked Susie. Perhaps she knew 1t with out knowing 1t. Perhaps his friend- liness was the first point of the wedge which was to break through her inhibitions. Perhaps the fates had put a finger on Jeff Bowman.
 They found the automobile and Susie got in. Jeff sat down beside her.
 I'm taking you home to dinner with me-" he said as they drove out through Lincoln Park My mother wants to meet you. You'll like her, she's swell"
 That's nice" Susie said, little trlll in her voice. No one had ever wanted to meet her before. Then she remembered and laughed, At the laugh Jeff shot her an amazed glance. The laugh was mu- sical. It was ineongruous in affect- cd him as Susies singing had affect- cd her professors,
 Whats funny" he asked,

CHAPTER TX

People brushed past Susie as she waited for the Chicago bus scarce- ly without knowing she was there, They looked through and around and over her, not once directly at her. And absolutely never had she been granted that second, fiattering glance. Never having had attention she did not miss 1t, had not the con- fidence to say to herself, You'll look at me the next time I pass this way" Tn fact she did not believe it. Susie's dream was not one of glory, merely that the ban of homelineSs might be lifted a little,
 She wore Q dark blue suit, the skirt of which came almost to her ankles, The ill-lltting jacket hunched at her shoulders and broke at the waistline. Her hat was just a hat, dark felt up in the back, down in the front, too round, too Hat, too everything, She wore black fabric gloves and heavy, mannish shoes, In e side pocket of her worn purse, wrapped in tissue, lay her most treasured possession, A little silver compact with a fraternity emblem on one side, It had never been used, 1t was symbol of tragedy, but Su- sic loved It. The trine proved that she had gone to Q party with Dick Tremaine,
 The bus, easing into the depot, numbered on more than did Susie as she climebd aboard, During the long ride to Chicago, she was un- able to relax, her taut nerves tight ened with every mile, she had pam icky moments when the safety of her room and the Waffle Shoppe seemed more to be desired than dubious adventure,
 And there were moments of lightness, when her spirit surged forward to meet what was to come, when her heart thudded and her eyes shone. On one of these reckless moments she alighted in Chicago, She was not without Q sense of humor and, having had little opportunity to exercise 1t, she grew Q bit hysterical contemplating her position.

A CAUTIOUS King Carol of "A Rumania plays his cards close to the vest these days after the newest outbreak of the opposition Iron Guard. The playboy ruler faces a crisis this time that may not easily be weathered.
 Crisis has been heaped on erie sis in the life of the handsome Rumanian. But observers see in the current uprising of the Fas- cist Iron Guard Communicated plan to Nazify Rumania. Fossil ply, Germany might use Rumania as a base of operations against Russia. In any event Rumania is rich in oil and in wheat.
 As early as February of 1888 Carol frightened his defenses, making himself virtual dictator. It appears that If anyone is going to be dictator in Rumania 1t will be Carol. In a Europe rife with 'sisms" he apparently wants no part of the new ideologies.
 Rumania's current constitution for one thing bars the Fascist Iron Guard. Carol himself dic- fated this measure and forced 1t through a popular vote. Seven- teen leaders of the opposition were killed by government forces fn the latest struggle.
 Meantime, the colorful Mime. Lupescu, cause of more than one crisis in the kings life, remains at Carols side. Death plots have been discovered against both Mime. Lupescu and Carol The Iron Guard has openly taunted the king on his friendship for the woman. The fact that she is part Jewish further complicates the dangers.
 Carol is shown here on q 1858 Rumanian stamp.

Helen could have cried with irritation

Helen went upstairs to the big bedroom

into the bathroom to run the tub and won

marry Bats and be fair to the children? Could
she make the children happy and play square

the wave of misery and perplexity broke
within her. She flung herself down on the big
bed. Oh. Roly, Roly! Help me. Tell me what
to do. Oh, Roly darling. you could help me.
The sound of the tub brought her back.
She got up ruefully and turned off the water.

have been the first to see the absurdity of it,
A widow ten years and then breaking down

She bathed and began to dress. She thought
of Bats and the thought was comforting.
They both had good voices. Roly and Bats.

Helen Eustis shrugged her shoulders. Roly's

to Helen. She was the only point on which she
and Roly had never agreed Roly had been
deeply, devotedly attached to his mother;
and his wife had respected her but had never
liked her. For years now they both had lived
at Stonehill, but even the common tragedy of
Roly's death had not brought them close.
Within the limits of the great formal house
they led remotely separate lives.

her tennis racket. Thanks, Bats" she said.

Helen stood looking after him. Then realiz-

walked up the steps. She could feel the air of

went to her room" Helen nodded and walked
down the hail. Trust Mrs. Eustis to know that
she'd been out with Bats. The old lady was
too polite to ask questions, but she'd find out
nevertheless
Helen went into the big, high-ceilinged
sitting room and found Betsy curled up in one
end of the Duncan Phyfe sofa. Hello,
Mummy" The little girl threw herself into
Helen's arms. ''Where've you been?"

down her racket and sweater. where's
Roland?"
Right here. We've been waiting forever
for tea" Helen turned as her tall son came
in from the porch. He was so graceful, like his
father, but in every other way he was utterly
different. He was complex where Roly had
been simple; shy where Roly had been genial;
dramatic in way that Roly had never been.
Helen turned back to Betsy "I'm sorry l
was so late, she said. why did you waltz"
Twanted to wait, Betsy said Importantly.
Il wanted terribly to see Bats. Why didn't
he come in?"
He had business at the Inn" Helen said,
and found herself looking away from Roland.
Horse trading probably" Roland said.

ways"
Helen looked at him, and for moment she
was furious. The arrogance of him, the in
science. Then slowly she softened. Whose
fault was it if not her own? And things would
have been different if Roly had lived Some
how Roly would have kept the boy broad

stood for snob.
Helen caught sight of the tray of polished
silver coming down the hall In another mo-

tea and Roland would discuss Bats in front
of her. "Oh, children" Helen said suddenly.

not be continually comparing them. If she
married Bats, she would have to put Roly
out of her mind. Helen finished dressing and
admitted to herself that that was impossible
No matter where she went or what she did,
the core of her life would be the eight years
that she had been married to Roly.
She turned to switch out the light and
looked around her. This was the room that
had been kingdom within kingdom. Here
they had been safe, and not even Mrs. Eustis
had infringed on their peace. Oh, Roly, her
heart cried out again, Oh, Roly, why did you
have to die?
Helen found the living room empty and sat
down to read, but her mother -in-law kept
coming into her mind Mrs Eustis would dis
approve of Bats, of course, but how violently?
Helen thought uncomfortably of the time
when she tried to change Roland's school
against his grandmother's will. Mrs. Eustis
had only openly opposed her few times but
each time the old lady had carried off the
honors.
The early part of the evening passed exactly
like great many others in the dark VAIN
scotted dining room. The Binghams came to
dinner and afterwards they played bridge.
"Why don't you cut in, dear?" Helen asked
Roland, but the boy shook his head
mo, thanks" he said. I'm going out to
see someone in little while" He waited
politely until the end of the first hand, then
said good night and left the room.
"Roland's amazing" Tess Bingham said
when he was out of hearing Our Bud could
no more leave room like that without
tripping than fly. Especially not if he had
date with girl" Helen smiled. The idea of
Roland's tripping, of his doing anything he
hadn't carefully planned, was impossible. She
caught herself wondering if he had ever been
a child.
He looks more like Roly every day." John
Bingham said.
Roland is not in the least like his father"

the largest number of job requirements
with private employers in the history
of the service, it was announced here
by the Bureau of Employment Sec
urity of the Social Security Board. At
the same time unemployment-benef
payments to insured workers totaled
less than in any previous month in

Some 30S, 400 openings in private in

records for the fifth time this year
Approximately half of these place

ployment offices dropped to the lowest
level in % months.
The October total of private place
ments was TO above that of last
month, but nearly 5000 higher than in
October of 1898 and 1887. During the
first 10 months of this year 2,192,000
jobs in private industry were filled,
an increase of about 1870 over the

soviet ACTION
PROFOUND SHOCK
President SAYS

! WASHINGTON - (FP) - News OF
Soviet action against Finland has come
! "as profound shock to the govern
ment and people of the United
| States" Pres Roosevelt said here in a
| formal statement
Given to reporters at his press con-
ference the statement read: 1.-THE news
of Soviet naval and military bombings
within Finnish territory has come as
profound shock to the government
and people of the United States De-
spite efforts made to solve the dispute
by peaceful methods to which no
reasonable objection could be offered,
one power has chosen to resort to
force of arms. 1t is tragic to see the
policy of force spreading and to real
ize that wanton disregard for law is
still on the march.
'All peace-loving peoples in those
nations that are still hoping for the
continuance of relations throughout
the world on the basis of law and
order will unanimously condemn this
new resort to military force as the
arbiter of international differences.
ITO the great misfortune of the
world, the present trend to force
makes insecure the independent exis-
tence of small nations in every con-
tinent and jeopardizes the rights of
mankind to self-government
"The people and government of Fin
land have a long, honorable and who'll
ly peaceful record which has won for
them the respect and warm regard
of the people and government of the
United States"
