a.O63.SO FROM TIE
STATE LIBRARY FUND

The first and second quarterly pay
ments Of the state aid grant have been
made to the WyandOtte public library
by the State Board for Libraries. These
payments amount to 81, O63.SO, and I'M
der the provisions Of the law estab-
fishing state aid for libraries, the mon
ey can be used for salaries OF person
mel, purchase of books or equipment,
extension Of library service-in fact,
any purpose except for the construc-
ton or remodeling of buildings, and
the payment Of interest or principal
en- debts.
Although state aid grants to librar-
les were advocated by the constitution
of 1895, the 1897 legislature was the
first to make an appropriation for this
purpose. 1t set up an annual grant OF
$500, 900. The amount Of the grant. for
this year has been reduced TO S375,OOO
to be distributed to libraries through
cut the state which meet certain cOndi-
tions, the most important of which is
that the local community must appro-
pirate for the support Of the library,
an amount equal to or greater than
the amount granted by the state.

Two hours later an impulsive yet
calm and determined Lois rang the
bell of an old-fashioned house in the
suburbs. She was somewhat non

aged woman opened the door.
''Mrs. Brainerd?" she asked.
'No, I'm her sister," answered
the woman.
''I'm Mrs. Hollinger, faltered
Lois, Mrs. Esme Hollinger."
''Esme's wife" beamed the wom-
an. Come right in"
Lois had a confused impression
of crisp white curtains, streaming
sunshine, and a box of scarlet ger
aniums on the window ledge. Then
a gray-haired woman in a wheel
chair was pressing Lois hand in
both her own.
''We so often think and speak of
Esme," she said, with a charming
smile, especially now that the
house is quiet; all my boys have
gone home for vacation"
Dimly Lois remembered who she
was-the woman in whose home
Esme had roomed while he was at
college. She recalled his asking
her to call on her sometime, and
the keen look he had given at her
laughing, sob, I couldn't be bored!"
He had never mentioned it again.
At loss for something to say,
she fingered the lowered cretonne
on which Mrs. Brainerd was work
ing. "Pillows," said Mrs. Brainerd.

That night Esme turned in at the
gate of his home, mentally braced
for a row. Of course, that talk to-
day with the manager had made
him feel a little better, but why
couldn't Lois be reasonable?
A CHEEKY voice welcomed him as
he opened the door; delicious odor
of cooking filled the air. Dumfound-
ed and a little guardedly, he APP
praised the meal she placed before
him: grilled chop, Delmonico pota-
toes, a crisp salad, and berries
with heavy cream. The little cot
tage glistened beautifully clean in
the late afternoon sun, and Lois
chartered on, gay and interesting,
from her place across the table.
The supper was delightful, and Lois
was a peach. Later, as he enjoyed
his paper and his pipe, he heard
her singing as the dishes clattered
in the kitchen.

resentful expression married the

STORY
Complete in This Issue

The boys came slowly up the hill
from the lake, chatting away like
two old women.
A gray roadster with red wheels
was coming up the hill. Perry heard
the gears crunch as the driver
changed to second; then the car,
rather abruptly, stopped. A girl
in hat the color of the wheels was
coming toward him. He knew she
was going to ask the way to Can
ada. They all did.
But afterwards, whenever he tried
to remember just what had hap
pened, it always seemed to his be-
wildered mind that all his family,
and all the natives, and all the
campers, were pushing and jostling
one another on the crowded porch,
trying to see lady in red hat and
very red lips, who threw her arms
around his neck and said:
Perry! Perry Woodbridge! Our
old Perry! Living on a farm! &.
Perry, you're NOT! It's a very
pretty place, but, Perry, no yachts,
no cocktails-and so far from
Paris" And her laughter seemed
to ripple, to float up, up, up to the
top of Greytop, and to be caught
by the echoes and thrown back at
him, haunting, hurting.
It really had not been so bad, of
course. What he actually did was
to say to Jane, who had come up to
them:
"Jane, this is my old friend, Mrs.
Truesdale, from"
'From the old life, Perry! From
the world you ran away from"
And, as she shook hands with Jane,
she began to laugh again. Poor
Perryl
Then little mouse-colored lady
and a tall, heavy man in a golf
suit got out of the car and Jane
was talking to them telling them
how to get somewhere. And Perry
was left alone with Marry, whose
large gray eyes were fixed on him.
And the porch began to fill up again
with people watching them.
Marry said, standing very close
to him, an old habit he remem-
bered, "Tell me about yourself, Per-
ry."
Marry put her hand >on his arm
and said, quite seriously, for Mar
ny:
PERRY, haven't you missed the
old crowd? Are you really happy
here?"
Then they we're gone. After sup
per Perry went fishing alone at a
far end of the lake, and did not
even catch perch And as the big
round yellow moon rose slowly and
solemnly over the hill, he wished
that Marry had not come; he
wished that she had got over that
habit of standing so close to the man
she was talking to; he wished she
had not asked him if he were happy.
