the spring of 1887 condemned as a
firetrap the old Weightman School
in which the crippled children who
could get to school were taught.
School officials were forced to move
the classes to the Langdon School
out in the Northeast.
This move forced the rearrange-
ment of bus routes by which the
children were transported to school,
and this, in turn, coupled with a cut
in the transportation appropriation
by Congress, resulted in seven chill
dren being unable to attend the
school. There was not enough
money to pay for their transporta-
ton. This caused a public outcry
and raised the issue of other chill
dren who, for some reason, physical
of lack of transportation, might not
be able to get to school.
Hence, in the fall of 1888, as
officials looked about for some rem
edy to the situation, some one sug-
gested the w. P. A. might help
out. w. P. A. said it had never
been done as relief project before
but were willing to try, and in
early November President Roose-
welt signed his approval of an
$4,000 project in cooperation with
the Board of Education and the
Health Department. The shut-ins
were to be taught by visiting teach
ers in the homes and in the clinics
of several hospitals.
In January the School Boards
Advisory Committee on Handi-
capped Children went to Balti-
more to inspect that city's IA
nous Baer School for the handi-
capped. The members learned that
Baltimore policemen on the beats
often escort the young cripples and
other handicapped children to
points where busses stopped.
The following month the project
again ran into difficulties with w.
P. A. curtailment. Two teachers
were dropped from the rolls because
they had children who were eligible
for social security aid to depend
ent children. Cries went up that
after all the training of these
teachers they were now going to
be dropped. thus injuring the prof.
ect. The two teachers were rein
stated.
At the end of the school year,
however, the project ended, and
w. P. A. announced it could no
longer continue the emergency
program, 1t was school job, Of
ficials said A. group of mothers
of shut-in children called on Mrs.
Henry Grattan Doyle, president of
the Board of Education. and plead
ed that something be done. A IL
year-old shut-in wrote the board
president telling how grateful she
was for the instruction of the
last year and added, May God
take liking to you"
There was no appropriation, SO
the schools could do nothing. 1t

she comes?" she asked cheerfully.
"She might as we'll meet Bill now
as some other time" The way she
said it implied most anything and
Bill looked down at her with gleam-
ing lights of approval in his gray
eyes. Jimmy frowned.
'Is it all right?"
"Of course, Jimmy" she assured
him.
Susan was openly pleased at the
prospect of joining them for lunch

that dripped with honey. But Jane
knew only too we'll that it would
not be many moments before Susan
said something that would be hard
to swallow; that was the beautiful
brunette's way of letting her subject
boil In oil. Instead Of beginning
from the first, she kept the victim
in suspense and it was quite appar-
ent to Jane that now she was Susan's
prey and would be on all occasions
when they met.

Halfway through the meal, Su-
san looked at Bill and smiled very
charmingly.
"You wouldn't think to look at
Jane that she could be a scheming
woman, would you, Mr.. Merri-
weather." Her words implied much
but her tone was bantering and
her eyes glowed with animation.
Jimmy's lips pressed together so
tightly that there was a fine
white streak around his mouth but
only Jane saw it; then she looked
at Bill. He gave her a side glance
of understanding before he an

light that lay deep in his eyes and
wondered what he was going to saw

with him had proved him master of
all situations.
He grinned at Susan and said.

but she knew that he was standing
bys and, though it broke her heart
st1ll further to see the awful hurt
IN Jimmy's eyes, she felt secretly
delighted that Susan was getting
the sharp end of the conversation.
"Oh!" Her voice was slightly
amused as she arched her brows a
bit 1nquiringly, but she lost none of
her vivacity in the act. Then
you consider flirting with some
other woman's husband a harmless
pastime?"
Bill to the Rescue.
Haven't you ever flirted with a

asked IN surprise that appeared to
be genuine. Surely some married

Jane found she had little time to
think of Jimmy when Bill was
around. He had a knack of keep
ing her in smiles and never allow
ing her to have some one else in her
thoughts. And she was putting
forth everything she had to keep
the world from guessing that she
carried a broken heart. At times,
she caught Bill looking at her
steadily as if trying to probe her
secret thoughts. but on such occas-
ions he quickly lapsed into gay
spirits and made some kind of teas
ing remark that she had to respond
to. They dined and danced and
were seen together constantly. 1t
was really fun being with him.
Ten days later Jimmy and Susan
returned home but Jane did not
know of their return until she
looked up and saw Jimmy enter
ing the dining room of the hotel
where she and Bill were having
lunch. Her eyes widened and barred
her heart for Bill to see, and he
was a very observant person; not
only that, but he had heard bits
here and there.
"Is that jimmy" he asked, call
ing her back to him.
Eyes, that is Jimmy Martin" she
answered, speaking just above a
whisper and her voice trembled
slightly.
He lay a warm hand over hers
on the table and his fingers closed
reassuringly about it.

words had the desired effect and
she smiled quite openly and when
Jimmy turned and saw her, she

in dead silence. The little moment
was theirs until she heard Susan

Bills hand on her arm, direct
