CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN

CHAPTER WENTY-SEVEN
WHAT DID Bob Lane mean by
saying Cholly's addition was in the
bag?
When Rom2ny asked, Lane smiled
broadly.
Santa Claus is coming to town."
"Your secretary said Brent Mel
son recommended Cholly," Romsry
told him. But when I called Brent
to thank him he didn't know a
thing about It."
Brent is just Santa's helper"
Bob grinned. Now will you please
stop asking questions? I'm being
held to a sacred promise"
Romany was atWitter with en-
element. From Lanes mysterious
attitude she gathered that Cholly
couldn't miss. But what could be
back of all the mystery?
Cholly began to play softly, en-
chantingly, a medley of old Irish
love songs. Romany watched Bob
Lane. In a little while he sat back,
put his hands over his eyes and
listened without moving. It was a
habit he had when he wanted to
shut out everything but the audi
ton.
After a time Cholly suddenly
broke into a medley Of jazz. Wild,
barbaric and swing Then, from the
ridiculous to the sublime, she
paused a moment, and her little
hands moved over the keys in a
series of hits from the great operas.
She ended with a perfect rendition
of the moonlight Sonata"
Surprisingly, Lane kept her play
ing for half an hour before he sig
nailed for her to stop. Then he got
up without speaking. and Romany
followed him into the studio, her
heart pounding.
Cholly had two bright spots of
color in her cheeks, and she sat
holding her knees because they
were shaking so.
"Was-it all right?' she asked
timidly.
Lane looked down at her, smiling
Whimsically.
I'm afraid So" He reached out
and pulled a red curl. II don't be-
lieve it will be necessary to hold
any more additions"
Cholly's blue eyes opened very
wide:
"You-don't mean"
you'll do" Lane smiled again.
Cholly's hand went to her throat.
She swallowed painfully. Then two
big tears came into her eyes and
trickled down her cheeks. Romany
felt tears singing her own throat
Cholly wiped her eyes, laughing
and crying at the same time. Lane
stood by, amused and touched. IT
wasn't often he saw the plums &C
to the ones who needed them, OF
deserved them. Cholly O'Neil was
not only greatly talented, but she
was a sweet youngster, if he was

any judge of human nature.
If you'll come into my office"
Lane said then, Il have a contract
waiting for you"
"So-soon ?" Cholly got up fight
ing for self-control. Il didn't know
anything ever happened this fast in
radio"
1T doesn't as a rule" Lane lit
cigaret as they walked out. But
it so happens this sponsor wants to
go on the air Monday morning at
$50"
You'll be getting up with the
birds" Romany reminded her.
"As if that matters" Cholly
grinned happily.
In Lanes Office he turned swift
ly to the business at hand.
This" he said, holding up a
sheaf of papers, rs the regular
thirteen-week run-of-the-mill con-
tract. 1t calls for d salary of $l25
weekly"
"Oh" gasped Charlotte.
Lane nodded, smiling.
THAT isn't bad for a beginning.
1t is subject to renewal after that
time a. 5000 week. Is that salts
factory?"
What do you think ?" Cliollys
voice shook
1--WE trust you, Mr.. Lane" Rom
any smiled. otherwise, I should
advise Cholly to have an attorney
look over the contract before she
signed It,"
1T give you my personal word"
Bob twinkled. II have no Interior
motives up my sleeve this morn
ing"
I'D better read it before l sign,
though, hadn't II" Cholly hest
tated, practically.
"Er-it's so long, ard I'm a in a
bit of a hurry" Lane still kept the
contract in his hand. You can
trust my judgment, I'm sure"
"Of course you can, Cholly.
Romany picked up a fountain pen
This is no time to start looking a
gift horse in the mouth"
Romany sensed that the mystery
had something to do with BOZ
Lanes wanting Charlotte to sign
without reading the contract. II
wouldn't be happening if anyone
meant to do her any harm. So she
showed the pen into Chollys hand
and in a few seconds it was all
over.
Lane put a copy in a large brown
envelope and sealed it.
Promise som hin go" He
grinned at Charlotte broadly.
She nodded, smiling.
"Of course. What ?"
THAT you won't open this en-
velope until you get home. An'
you'd better pick out a nice soft
spot for Miss O'Neil to land, Miss
Halle. She'll probably faint whe:
she finds out who her sponsor is. ;

"BuiId-Up" Relief
Explained to Women

A simple method has saved many
women a lot Of suffering!
1t is based on the fact that head
aches, nervousness, cramp-like pain
are often symptoms of functional
dysmenorrheo due to malnutrition
Help for this condition so often
follows the use of CARDUI, be-
cause it usually increases the ap-
petite and the flow of gastric Juice;
thus aids digestion and helps build
physical resistance. Usual result
is less periodic distress.
Many who take CARDUI a few
days before and during "the time"
have found this helps ease periodic
discomfort. Women have used
CARDUI for more than so years!

A Message From the A. & P. Food Stores
TO OUR CUSTOMERS
TO OUR CUSTOMERS

Do You Wont to Pay Higher Food Prices?
to be- considered in the Senate,s strikes a blow at the pocketbook of every consum
This bill imposes an additional tax OF chain torres in spite of the fact that the
chains in Mississippi are aready aging a heavy punitive nd discriminatory tax
Such tax means higher rean prices forf ood-means reduced consumption. The
bill strikes a severe blow at both Mississippi producers md Mississippi consumer
-" In other word. House Bill 7s is MORE than a tai on chain stores 1t is a
burden on your family budget. -
TO MISSISSIPPI FARMERS
Do you beHeve it is fair t., place special taxes on chains stores which buy nil
House Bill 7s attacks your interest NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE.
First it hits your pokdbook as a CONSUMER. 1t will make vol pay more
for the goods you buy in stores-FORCE YOU to buy less.
Even more important, it attacks you as PRODUCER of Mississippi oton and
vegetables This new tax on chain stores will reduce consumption of your farm
products by further increasing retail prices.
IS 1T FAIR TO FARMERS TO SINGLE OUT THEIR BEST CUSTOMERS
AND Destroy THEIR MARKETS THROUGH SPECIAL TAXES NOT BORNE BY
OTHER MERCHANTS?
Chain stores spend s17OO0OOo a year Mississippi for oodstufs and in
dutral products, which they distribute through every state in the Union. These
chains spend an additional S6O00OOO annually for wages, ents advertising, taxes,
etc To restrict the activities of the chains therefore, is to slow down the States
business life.
IN OTHER WORDS, HOUSE BILL 78 AND ANY SIMILAR MEASURE WILL
HURT BOTH MISSISSIPPI PRODUCERS AND CONSUMERS
The A. P. believes it has a duty to bring these facts before you We want
to, and believe re do pay our full share of thec cost of government But our re-
snonabnty to our customers and the producers of the State demands that we
opposes special punitive taxes which increasere retail food prices We believe that
yu will want to join us in protesting against this bill.
LET YOUR PROTESTS BE HEARD
Tell your Senator and your Representative in person or write to then of your
opposition to this new tax on chain stores and upon yur family pocketbook.

India,s Craftsmanship

Travellers in medieval times from
Greece, Rome and China marveled
at the skill which the people Of In
dia displayed in their manufactur-
ing industries. Today number OF
them have vanished and are past
recall, while others have been pre-
served from extinction only by the
exertions Of handful Of art lovers.
Some Of the jeweled arts Of India
have survived to this day, however.
OF these, perhaps the most impor-
tant is minakari, or the art Of enam-
cling, as it has been known in India
from early times. This exquisite
workmanship, so fine and so deli
cate, is the outcome Of centuries Of
development. What remains now is
the sum Of an unending series Of
small improvements in work and
method, added by each successive
generation.

Duping the Ducks

Each season an elder duck will
produce about half pound Of elder
down, but It must be tricked into
doing so, says Samuel J. Beckett in
"a Wayfarer in Norway" Artificial
nests are placed in the rocks in the
haunts Of the bird, and there the
ducks lay their eggs. AS the eggs
are systematically taken away, the
bird continues to sit for long periods,
all the time plucking the valuable
down from her breast for the nest.
Lokta is one Of the centers Of the
eiderdown industry.
