Evelyn's heart struck like a fire
bell. Now! she thought. Now he'll
have to ask me! He'll want me to
marry him and go with him; but
maybe il woufd be better to wait
until he comes back to his partner
ship with Mr.. Ives and settles
down here for life. Yes, / believe
it would. She was very happy.
That's pretty fine," she said.
AZ suppose IL pays at least as
much as you're making now?"
More" he said. "A good deal
more. Sixty q week"
ooh boy" she said, and got
happier yet.
"Mr. Ives thinks there's a lot
more future for a young man
than here. Says he wishes he'd
gone there at my age, instead
OF stringing along In one-horse
town like this"

YVES wi ~ NALh
She went out to walk, and the
little town said that, too. A little
town--in world gone mad with
blood-lust and fear and hate-that
was green and quiet and happy.
She prayed little prayer: Oh,
God, keep it so! If she had mar
ried Henry, she'd have had to give
it up. For the first time she began
to feel reconciled-just a little bit.
And then she turned the corner
and there he was. His people
lived not far from there and he
was walking home.

nothing could have been more
different from the way she
thought il would be when and if
il ever happened.

TINE FOR A TRIP

IT seemed to Evelyn an awfully
good time for her to take a trip.
and so she went off and got the
help of Yellowstone and Estes.
Mesa Verde, the Grand Canyon
and lot of other places in her
campaign toward forgetting, and
stayed away until some two weeks
past the time she had learned from
his parents that he had to be back
at his desk in New York.
When she returned that Summer
afternoon her father met her in
the family car, folded her in his
arms and drove her home, and il
was good 10 be back.
The old house. too. seemed 10
open its arms TO her. Her mother
was off at bridge party and her
father had to go TO the office for a
little while before dinner, so she
was left there with the cook. the

GUESSED WRONG
1t was just one of those things,
she thought, when he had gone
away. Life logged along all your
way until it reached certain
place, and then it went off around
the corner and left you, and there
wasn't anything you could do
about it.
He could have said: Marry me
and GO with me, and we'll live on
my 60 a week and discover New
York tobether. He was in love
with her, but not enough to say
that.
He was in love with her, but
not enough 10 say: You are what
/ want, and this is my town and
I'm staying.
Well, she had guessed wrong
and her job now was to find out
how you forgot a boy like that
and, then, to do it.
She tried TO stop thinking about
him. When a thought of him
came into her mind, she pushed ii
out with a thought of something
else. But when she was dropping
off to sleep, in that fuzzy period
just before she got there, thoughts
of him crowded in; and she
dreamed of him over and over, and
sometimes woke up crying.
NEW LOVE AS CURE
Fall in love with another boy.
Yes, that was the idea, but she
couldn't seem to find the right
boy. Several of them were all
right and she liked them and they
liked her, and there wasn't any
thing at all the matter with one
or two except they weren't Henry
Train, but that seemed TO be
enough.
Oh, we'll, she'd wear it down in

went on trying.

came back from a visit to New
York and said that Henry was
going high, wide and handsome

The company, he said, felt in view of this ruling that a government priority order is needed.
 The fixtures are needed to com plete the installation of 'new-type lights on Bank street and on West Main street around the Green. They are also needed for the latest pro- jects voted by the board of works, calling for new-type lights on East Main, North Main and South Main streets.
 The city has already been obliged to seek priority ratings at Washing ton to insure delivery of supplies and equipment needed for the sec- ond pipe line, now being built be- tween the city and the west branch. Priority ratings are also needed to insure adequate materials for other projects.

 Later the truck came toward the entrance, but strikers sullenly watched 1t pass through the gate without making an effort to block it. Police stood by to see the load was not intercepted.
 The terminal was the scene last Wednesday night where 50 strikers gathered and sought to stop the company's truck from entering the gate. The strikers then placed their cars about the entrance in such a manner that the truck was unable to enter.
 On reasoning from Captain Fred erick s. Hickey and Sergeant Joseph Petit to remove their cars, the strikers reluctantly drove their cars from the entrance last week. Both incidents were marked without vio- lence.
