tinued in it until her marriage in
1896, not resuming it until II years
later when her two children no
longer required her undivided at
tention.
When she re-entered educa tional
work in 1913 she became identified
with the music department of the
Washington public schools as a
teacher in its elementary branches,
in which field she continued until
her appointment in 1924 to the
teaching staff of the Langley Junior
High School. Subsequently she
was promoted to senior high work
in music and assigned to Central
High School.
While director of vocal music at
Central student groups under her
direction were for two successive
years awarded first prizes in COM
petitions sponsored by the Fox
Theater as feature of National
Music Week. When the Woodrow
Wilson School was opened in 1885,
to Mrs. Torbert was assigned the
organization of its music depart
ment, from which task, successfully
completed, she is now retiring.

himself.
Lucy, you and I are going to
need each other before this thing is
finished" Guy whispered.
Poor Uncle Merit" Lucy said
softly. Its so awful for him
when he has such probia toward
unpleasant things"
They paused as Uncle Merit wan
dered in. Its 4 o'clock" he told
them, "and I've been around this
gloomy house all day. l think I'll
go down to the bank I won't be
back for dinner" He rubbed a
hand across his forehead, He came
to Lucy suddenly and patted her
shoulder and kissed her before he

Calls for Laval.
Then strangely they heard him
call Laval.
Lucy and Guy went out into the
hall. why Uncle Merit-have you
forgotten?" Lucy cried.
"Yes-of course!" he said with an
embarrassed laugh. Silly of me,
wasn't it? Especially since Eliza
beth just got through telling me
over the phone that Laval has re-
gained consciousness and is going to
get we'll" He stood there an in
slant more, staring at the polished
floor in sort of bewildered inertia.
He'll be back here again before
long. Laval will" he meditated.
But poor Luke won't-ever" He
seemed to recover himself then and
throwing Lucy one more smile he
trudged to the door and went out
That was the last time they were
ever to see Uncle Merit alive. His
disappearance did not alarm any
one at first. He'd said he was stay
Ing out for dinner. But Chalmers
knew the moment it was decided
that Merit was actually missing that
he was in the vault at the bank.
BY then it was too late. He re-
membered Merits mentioning a fear
of being accidentally shut up in
the vault. Even then Merit had
had it in mind as a last resort.
But Uncle Merit couldn't have
killed Uncle Luke!" Lucy cried, as
Chalmers was explaining things to
them later. He was in New Ha-
ven."
Miss Lucy" Chalmers said gent
ly, after you and Laval had ex-
planned Luke's habits to me I felt
that someone who knew him very
we'll had murdered him, and in a
very clear way. Merits note ex-
plains"
But why did he do it?" Lucy in
sisted.
Had Two Reasons.
"He had two reasons" Chalmers
said. "One was that he couldn' t
bear to see Elizabeth go through
the agony of having Luke divorce
her and marry Rita Star. Obviously
he himself was in love with Eliz-
abeth. He didn't know of course,
the night he left for New Haven,
that Luke had already changed his
mind. The other reason was that
he knew the fact of your impending
marriage to Greg Hanson and the
subsequent probability of Luke's
turning over your part of the trust
fund.-, would bring to light the fact
that there was no trust fund. He'd
forged Luke's name to that with
drawal and had used the money
partly to make up a large shortage
at the bank, and partly for Specu-

in her garden filled with blooming
plants, many of which have won
honors in flower shows, Mrs. Torbert
expressed herself strongly on the
subject of careers for her sex 'if
they interfere with the more i'm
portant family relationships of home
and children"
mo woman who espouses mar
riage," she said, should make a
career outside Of her home at the
expense of her family or her home,
unless necessity compels."
In her case she limited her teach
ing to such hours in her home that
did not interfere with the manage
ment of her household or the care
Of her family, and she did not take
full-time position in the music
department of the public schools
until her children were of high
school age.
She has always found time to
share In the diversions of her hus-
band and her children, overcoming
her fear Of the sea to share In her
husbands love of sailing and salt
water travel.
Asked to name her hobbies, she
unhesitatingly replied, MY family,
music, and instilling in young people
a love of musical appreciation, and
of what music may mean In the
way of JOY and comfort in their
lives"
More leisure will mean more
travel perhaps, and certainly the
opportunity to devote more time to
helping young people with their
musical educations."

ribly earnest. Let's go for a ride. -
She looked startled into his eyes,
and he added with a grin that
curbed fears that caught at her
heart suddenly Something Won
derful has happened, darling"
The darling" was all that Jane
needed to take her to the heavens
to play with the stars and float on
the white clouds that dirfted aim
leSSly through the sky. The word
held untold possibilities.
BreathlesSly, she waited beside
him while he started the motor and
drove away. Then his hand found
hers and brought it to his lips, and
silently he kissed each finger as
though it were something very dear
and precious. When he lowered her
hand and put it back with the other
one in her lap, he said huskily:
Il love you, Jane"
She caught her breath, afraid for
a moment that she would wake up
and find it really a dream after all,
but when he went on she knew she
was wide awake.
1T just came to me tonight And
now that I know it, I can't pos
sibly remember when it happened
unless I have loved you always. -
James heart sWelled with new Joy
until it seemed that it might break
right through her ribs. He pulled
her into the crook of his right arm
and their heads touched lightly,
lovingly. Il am sure now I have
loved you forever"

to replace the fund itself. He lost
1t all. He knew Luke would deny
withdrawing the money and also
know at once what had happened.
WAS it the letter." Elizabeth
asked hoarsely.
Yes" Chalmers said. He ad-
mitted that he wrote a letter tt
Luke, under fictitious name, re-
queSting an autograph. and inclos-
ing elf-addreSsed stamped en-
velope, the gummed part of the far
of which was treated with cyanide
Il was in the Study-the first time
came down that morning to see
Luke. He was-sealing the last oi
three or four letters-when suddenly
he slumped over IL even finished
pressing the letter to seal it-anc
put it with the others-just without
thinking. Then later-I knew il
was the letter. And I was so afraid
all along that it was Merit" Eliza
beth said sadly.
Laval MaliS Letter.
And Laval even mailed the let
ters," Guy said, shaking his head
at the incredibility of it.
''Yes. That was even greater good
fortune than Merit had counted on
as was Bertha's tidying up by
emptying the wastebasket and re-
moving the glass and decanter."
1T was like Uncle Merit to figure
out way so he'd not be here
when it happened" Lucy whispered
He did hate scenes so very much
yes he did He hadn't counted
on having to kill Laval too. And
that attempt to murder Laval was
what unnerved him. He said that
he didn't regret killing Luke, be-
cause he had set you all free OF
Luke's mad domination, but he die
regret that he had tried to kill
Laval"
Lucy remembered how upset Uncle
Merit had seemed that morning
she had told him she was going
to marry Greg. No wonder his
voice had been strained when he'd
asked her if she had told Uncle
Luke yet. 1t was that very evening
he'd left for New Haven, and prob
ably on his way that he'd mailed
the fatal letter to his foster brother

"Mr Smithson says that Merit, on
his way down to the bank for the
last time, stopped in at the law
office and assigned two insurance
policies over to Miss Lucy and Mr.
Guy, to partly make up, he supposes
for the trust funds" Chalmers shut
his notebook with a snap and arose
Il know Uncle Merit-never really
meant TOTO take the money" Lucy
whispered.
II wish there'd never been any
trust funds to start with" Guy
choked out. "It's going to be hard
to start all over again." Elizabeth
said.

Out Of herheart @
CHAPTER I.

Jane Delaf1eld stood before the
long mirror in the powder room of
the clubhouse and stared at herself
unbelievingly. She reached up and
gave her blond hair careful pat
and smiled at the reflection that
faced her, a smile that came from
the knowledge of some secret. The
curl that vas out of place had been
perfectly arranged only little while
ago, but that was before Jimmy had
suddenly pulled her into his arms
and kissed her. 1t had happened
right after they had parked the Car
on the club grounds and had been
such a complete surprise and so
breath-taking that it now seemed
but dream; only the disturbed
curl and a racing heart were proof
that it had really happened.
With the memory of the kiss still
fresh and vivid in her mind, she
wondered if maybe all of her dreams
might be coming true, and the
thought overwhelmed her with JOY
she did not believe possible. There
had been no words, no explanation
for the kiss, but she was happy.
Even though perhaps it did not
mean much to Jimmy, it was the
fulf1llment of desire of long stand
ing for her. All of her daydream-
ing had been centered around such
a moment.
She found James Martin waiting
for her in the main room of the
clubhouse. AS she approached he
turned away from the people he had
been talking to and came toward
her, smiling. His eyes shone with
delight at her loveliness, and she
felt the dam that had held back her
love for him all these many years
give way suddenly and she feared
he must surely see her heart in
her eyes when he reached her side.
She smiled to cover the confusion
she felt as he swung her into the
circle of his arm and fell into step
with the throbbing music.
Heart Does Funny Flip.
Have I ever told you how beau
tiful you are, Jane?" he asked, and
let his lips caress the hair just
above her ear as they danced by a
deserted corner of the room. How
lovely and adorable?"
Her heart did funny flip as she
leaned away from him to look into
his smiling, handsome face, to find
that his eyes echoed the words he
had just spoken.
L think this is the very first
time, Jimmy she answered, trying
to sound f1ippant and amused. But
the ar mthat held her drew her
closer and she felt the beating of
his heart against her own and knew
that he was sincere.
Il have something to tell you,

"Forevere is a long time, Jimmy"
she said softly and snuggled against
his shoulder, finding it to be Just
what she had dreamed to put her
head there.
Il realize now why every time
you came into the same room, I
felt ray of light-a warmth that
was always lacking when you were
| not around" Then more earnestly:
Il love you so much, Jane, it
wouldn't be right for you not to
love me just little" There was
no mistaking the hopefulness of his
voice.
Il do, Jimmy" Now that she had
admitted 1t out loud, flow of words
seemed to tumble out without any
trouble. Il have loved you since
the day I came here to live with
Aunt Beth. Remember what an
ugly little. duckling I was with long
yellow curls and frightened eyes and
you said, Gosh, isn't she a funny
little girl-all eyes?" She laughed
at the incident now that had seemed
almost a calamity to her then. "I
started loving you from that very
moment with my whole heart"
She sighed contentedly; then con-
tinued: But so many things hap
pened to show me that it was hope
less. 1t was like reaching for the
moon and knowing all the time I
couldn't have it. So resigned my
self to loving you silently and being

Elizabeth gave him a straight look
She seemed more calm, Lucy noted
than she had since Uncle Luke's
death. Don't worry about me.

turned away from him quickly.
Lucy Is Apprehensive.
Lucy had a hideous feeling that
everything was falling into some
dreadful pattern, and she couldn't
bear to think what the day might
yet bring. And indeed it did turn
out to be miserable day.
Guy for some reason had sud-
denly forsaken his laboratory. He
stayed close to Lucy.

wrong? You keep looking at me

We'll, Lucy" I've been doing lots

her hand in the first token of affec-
ton he had shown her in years.

Lucy, and you've shown it. You and

have each other really. All I've been
able to think of is that laboratory

me when I got to thinking how

could get your money and loan it to
me-"
Il was-really-awfully fond of
Greg"
You'd talk yourself into thinking
you were fond of him, anyway, if
you thought it was what you ought
to do for my sake, Lucy. You're
pretty unselfish, Lucy, compared to
me-"
Guy Offers Sympathy.
Lucy clung to him suddenly, hid
her face against him, and he put
his arms about her and held her
close. This horrible thing that's
happened to us all, Lucy, we'll
maybe there's some good in it if 1t

mltted. She blushed a little.
Just then they heard Uncle Merit

Reversal in Wage Act
Case UphoIds Liberal
Interpretation
Button Company Not
Exempt, Kansas City
Court Rules

Sweeping support for the posi-
tion taken by the Wage-Hour Divis-
ion that the Fair Labor Standards
Act should be literally construed
in questions of coverage, while ex-
emptions specifically mentioned in
the act are subject to strict con-
struction, came in decision in
the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals for the 9th Circuit of Kan
sas City, received yesterday in Wash
ington, in which the victory won by
the Hawkeye Pearl Button Co. in
District Court was reversed.
The opinion, written by Judge
Archibald K. Gardner for the full
court, referred the action back to the
District Court.
In an injunction suit, the Wage
and Hour Division had contended
that the button company, with
plants in Iowa and Missouri, and
sales offices in New York CITY. was
violating the act by failing to pay
minimum wages and overtime and
falling to keep adequate records as
required by law The COMPANY
argued that since making buttons
out of mussel shells was processing
a fish by-product, it was exempt.
The District Court upheld this con-
tention, which was reversed in the
decision received yesterday
Said the court in its findings:
The manifest declared purpose of
the statute was to eradicate from
interstate commerce the evils at
tendant upon lower wages and long
hours of service in industry. Ac-
cepting this as the declared purpose
OF the act, exemptions would tend
to defeat its purpose. The statute
Is remedial, with a humanitarian
end in view. 1t is therefore entitled
to liberal construction.
1T is argued that this was a sick
industry and that it was not the in
tent OF Congress to injure ailing in
dustrles, but any such declared in
tent cannot be construed as indi-
eating a general policy of exemption
because a particular industry may
not be financially prosperous. The
minimum wage provisions of Sec
ton 6 are absolute, except for the
exemptions in Section 13. If, in
the competitive struggle, any busi-
ness or industry could not survive
and pay such wages, it's existence
could not be prolonged at the ex-
penSe and to the prejudice of the
employees"

he gets well. Well start all over

Il always wanted a house in the
country" Elizabeth said wistfullv
with a garden, one that I could
potter around in myself. Luke al
ways laughed" She broke off
and her eyes filled with tears, but
she smiled through them.
Lucy put out her hand wordlessly
to Sandy Block who stood close by
her side.
He smiled at her as he took it
and held it warmly in his own.
Somehow Lucy knew they would
find happiness again, eventually, all
OF them, and that the horror of
these days would dim with the pass
age of time.
