shortly. II wouldn't go unless ne
asked me to. Also, / couldn't leave
now when Jessica has such bad
cold"
Jessica had caught spring cold
and the doctor had ordered her to
bed for a few days.
Eleanor knew that she was hid
ing behind the excuse of Jessica'5
illness; in truth, she could not
bring herself to join Phil without
an invitation. Her own determine
ton never to be a wife who would
take things as matter of course
had become a concrete thing in her
path.
Had she been a superstitiOus
girl, three days later she would
have wished she had never spoken
of Jessica's illness.
Eleanor came home from the
golf course to find her little girl
playing in thin pajamas and bare
feet in a cold room. That night
Jessica Weakened her mother with
dry cough and Eleanor went in
to find her struggling for breath.
The doctor told her it was pneu-
monia.
It was the first crisis that Flea
nor had ever had to meet alone.
Aida Somers said: I'LL tele-
phone MIR. Parrish. Eleanor, and
he'll be here by day after tomor-
row."
DAY after tomorrow Eleanor
walled. who knows what will
happen by that timer"
They reached Phil after hours Of
agonized waiting.
"I'l be right up" he promised
in a tight voice. II have friend
who will fly me up. If the weather
is right. l should be there some
time in the next six hours"
Eleanor put the telephone back
on the hook with a new fear in her
heart. With no flicker of express
sion on her strained white face,
she went back into the nursery.
Her work forgotten, her thoughts
went round in a small circle. Jes-
sica Jessica and Phil.
Don't let me lose either of them,
dear Lord.
Ten hours, twelve hours, sixteen
hours passed.
Phil did not come.
At eight that night a uniformed
boy rang the bell beside the Par
IRISH door.

had marked a high point OF nope
in her life, but she had scaleo q
higher point during the illness OF
her child.
For the first time in nearly i've
years there was no story clamorlng
to be written in Eleanor Parrlsh's
mind. She was content during
May days to devote herself with
fanatical attention to Jessica.
She dismissed the trained nurse
as soon as the doctor would permit
her to do so. She batfed and
dressed the wasted little form,
cooked nourishing soups and pud-
dings with her own hands, played
tirelessly at the games that Jessica
wanted to play. She read and
wrote stories to bring laughter to
the pale little face, and grieved
that their finances would not per-
nit a long stay in tropical sun
shine.
The dust and the letters and tele-
grams gathered on her desk. When
the mail arrived in the morning it
was at an hour when Jessica was
being prepared for the day and
Eleanor glanced over it hastily and
with little interest.
There was a mystifying letter
from Kate Douglas, who was
spending the spring in Wisconsin.
Kate wrote:
"This is the hastiest Of notes
(written as am about to embark
on my first f1ight) to congratulate
you both from the bottom of my
heart. I know that this is one
more thing that you both have
shared and from this great things
will come. My best love to my
four favorite people"
Eleanor said: "Kate is being in
coherent, but she is so fond of Jes-
sica it was probably the best she
could do"
ut is a funny letter." Phil
agreed. Speaking of trips, think
we could manage to take a cottage
somewhere further out on the
Island this summer. / could stay
here and get out week-ends. I'd
like to get Jessica out where she
could get the kind of sunshine you
only get at beaches"
Couldn't you get away?" Flea
nor pleaded. 1--WE could all be to-
gether. Besides, Jessica is not
happy when she is away from you"
Phil shook his head. IT can't get
a vacation until winter. The sports
season is just opening up and you
know what that means. Well have
to find something Inexpensive,
honey. Our money is short and we
owe lot Of bills I'll get a raise
next year and things will be bet
ter. We can start saving when we
get out of debt. If I could only
lay my hands on a few thousand
dollars /. +. but, don't want any
more debts"
Eleanor thought about that. She
thought about story that she had
meant to write if she had any luck
with her prize novel. Her second

story was far better in plot and
characterization than any she ever
had conceived, and she wanted to
save it until she was recognized.
But, only recently-a month or so
before Jessica was taken ill-there
had been a letter from Mr.. Hender-
son of the Mcleod Syndicate ask
ing her if she had an available
story. She'd get at least a thou
sand dollars for it and that thou
sand would pay for a summer holi-
day for Jessica.
She went into her "office" and
sat down at the typewriter she had
not used for nearly two months.
She took off the cover and put q
piece of paper in the machine. Her
fingers were stiff and the words
came slowly at first. Two hours
later she had finished writing the
synopsis.
She put it in an envelope and
addressed it to Henderson.
The stack of letters and tele-
grams attracted her eye and she
put them in a basket and took it
back to the living room. Phil had
large following and many of the
letters, she knew, were messages
of hope and congratulations on
Jessica's recovery.
She decided to read them and
answer them with little notes after
Jessica had had her supper and
been put to bed for the night. Phil
was not expected home until late.
He came in at midnight.
Eleanor, looking very still,
glanced at him from where she sat
on the lounge, basket of letters
and kilograms beside her, a tele-
gram in her hand.
He said: els something the mat
ter, honey?"
She shook her head. "Only that
I think maybe I've lost my mind.
I've been waiting for you for five
hours to tell me if I see what I
think do. Read this, Phil"
He took the telegram and read
it aloud:
Mrs. Phillip Parrish, Hazelton
Gardens Estate, Great Neck, Long
Island, New York: We are happy
to inform you that you have been
awarded first prize in our contest
for your novel, "Descendents of
Kings Nell! Baby, you've won the
Senfell-Raye prize"
"And I didn't even know it," she
said in a small voice.
He said: MAY shake you hand,
Mrs. Parrish? And may say al
ways knew you could?"
"Oh, Phil" she said, unable to
say more until a few moments
later. Zone time it would have
meant a personal triumph. Now
it means that we all can go to Ber-
muda on a glorious holiday"
"You and the kids can CO." he
told her the next morning, "but I
can't"
Eleanor smiled and made a note
to engage reservations for four.

very attractive man and the world
is full of attractive women who
know that"
And so you advise me to go
down to Florida and look over my
property to be sure it is mine ?"
81 advise you to buy yourself the
swankest sports clothes and the
slinkiest evening things you can
afford and go down there to show
your husband that you think he is
attractive enough to be held on to-"
"Why, Alida!"
Don't why, Alida!' me, Eleanor.
You're a smart girl and you read
the newspapers. You, yourself,
have shown me the clippings about
Phil. And you know that Hortense
Lodge is giving him big rush. You
know that his name is always on
her guest list at the big parties she
throws at that million-dollar villa
Of hers. You've seen them pic
tured together at the races and
getting out of her plane the day
they flew back from Havana to-
gether"
Eleanor laughed. Her laughter
wasn't quite as light as it had been.
She said slowly: Phil has written
me about Mrs. Lodge. She's a
sportswoman and they have a lot
in common. She has quite a ia
nous racing stable, you know.
Also, she's source of information
to him."
"She has red hair and slanting
green eyes and she's a man-eater.
She has leisure for what she wants
to do. And YOU. my dear, have
no time except for typewriter. "
Eleanor stirred the tea in her cup
for several thoughtful moments.
And what would she be doing with
poor newspaper MANI" she de-
manded.
"Be careful, Mrs. Parrish, that
you don't get to thinking of your
husband as a man no other woman
would want. Be careful of your
growing attitude that he is man
of little consequence. Women
often make that mistake and wake
up to find that their husbands are
the only consequence that matters
after they've lost them. Also. i
shouldn't want him flying around
in planes piloted by Eighty females
l certainly do not mean to alarm
you. l only hoped to stir you up
to action. Why don't you go?"
II can't" the other girl said

TWENTY-NINE

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE
ELEANOR HAD not had her
clothes off in two days and a night.
The doctor said: Mrs. Parrish, we
cannot afford to have another pa
tient. You must take a bromide
and get some sleep. We're doing
all we can for your little girl, and
we do not expect the worst. In
any event, we cannot expect a
crisis for another day."
She permitted herself to be put
to, sleep.
It was Aida who received the
kilograms that arrived at the same
time. She opened the first and
saw that it was from Phil to say
that weather conditions did not
permit his flying up; he was arriv-
ing by the first train.
The second telegram she put on
silver tray on a hall table, where
it lay unopened during those har-
rowing days and nights that the
Parishes spent at the side of their
first-bOrn. Later Annie picked it
up and put it on Eleanor's desk.
It was as if steel bands held tight
around Eleanor's heart and held
her up physically. But she broke
when the crisis was over and her
child lay sleeping peacefully and
they knew she would live.
1T was my fault, Phil" Eleanor
cried. Somehow I could have pre-
vented it. I always knew I was a
bad wife, but 1 thought I was q
good mother. I'm never going to
write again. I'm so happy to have
her-and you'll never want any
thing else. I was SO worried about
you"
About me?"
"And that woman. I was terri
fed that you'd have an accident
flying up"
what woman?"
"Mrs. Lodge"
Phil laughed. wasn't going to
fly up with her, baby"
"But you did see a lot Of her
Phil"
"Of course 1 did. And we're go
ing to have her here to dinner when
things are all right again. She's
pretty dull, as person, Nell, but
she has kind of salon in New
York and always has a lot Of
critics and picture and stage peo-
pie around and I thought it would
be a good idea to cultivate hel
friendship. Thought she might be
able to do some good for YOU"
Eleanor's eyes widened. "You
were doing that for me?"
"Of course" he said simply
"And l don't want to hear any
more of this talk about not writing
any moreA- You have to write, Nell
It's part of you, and I want you tt
work because it is necessary fol-
you. How about the prize book
It's in, isn't it"
She nodded. II haven't thought
of it for weeks"
It was true that she had not. II

clerk in the District Court, is sched-

County Police Court next Tuesday
as a defendant.
Mr.. Hamilton early today was
charged with violating the suburban
Maryland community's new 24-hour
anti-noise ordinance, the first per-
son arrested under the month-old
law.
The court clerk was asleep on the
porch of his home at 1912 Ridge

with his radio going full blast and
neighbors complained to county
police.
Patrolmen Frank Lane and Paul

PRATTVILLE, Ala, Aug. IT,
Death of trainman, killed as his
locomotive fell off a water-logged
fill, was charged today to torrential
transforms which flooded this mid
State textile town to depths of feet.
Fireman M. S. Chism was killed
and Engineman E. D. Dent Ma
harry injured as tracks gave away
beneath their work train locomotive,
dropping it within few yards of an
underpass on the Montgomery
Prattville highway late last night.
Mr.. Maharry suffered head and
back injuries, but physicians said
they expected him to recover. Both
trainmen were Tuscaloosa, Ala, resi-
dents.
Two stores collapsed in downtown
Prattville and were carried away by
boiling floodwaters from Autauga
Creek, which started on rampage
at dawn yesterday and gradually in
undated more and more territory.
State Patrol Chief T. Weller Smith
estimated 100 families had been
evacuated here. Selma reported
many farm families marooned in
that sector by high waters of Cahaba
River and freshet creeks
National Guardsmen were called
out to reinforce patrol rescue and
relief endeavors here. Boats were
pressed into service in the Selma
area. In both instances Red Cross
established refugee havens and
kitchens.
Fears a dam across Bridge Creek,
miles north, would 60 out abated
somewhat today as the driving rain
ceased, at least temporarily, for the
first time since it trailed a tropical
storm from the Gulf into Alabama

Low-Cost Rural Electric
Equipment Developed
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Tenant farmers and other low
income rural classes may be able to
afford electric service in their homes
under plan disclosed by Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace.
The Secretary said the Rural Elec-
trification Administration had de-
veloped new low-cost equipment
that would permit connection of a
farm home with an electric power
line for about S35, compared with
a present minimum of s75 to 500.
r. E. A. officials said the farmer
must dig his own ditch for the con-
Meeting underground cable with the
