CHAPTER V-Continued

The clerk rang the register and
counted out some bills.
IF your mother wants to see Per-
y Bennett about that piece of spruce
81 his, Marian" he said, you tell
her it amt any use. Perry's sold
it-they drew the papers Saturday.
He sold it to Wallace Withers."
what would Wallace Withers
want with that spruce?"
Don't ask me. Maybe he's 60
ing to sell Christmas trees. What
ever he wants-there's money in it.
That old guy is so stingy he honed
nickel razor-blade and used it over
and over for ten years"
Marian followed Bry out to his
car. She was quiet and thoughtful
as Bry tore through town and
around the mountain curves. She
knew a great deal about her moth
er's affairs. She was certain that
Virgie had counted on buying Perry
Benefits spruce.
what are we supposed to do
when we get to Asheville?" Bry
broke in on her silence. I'VE aren't
clipping, by any chance?"
"In 4 rain-coat?" Marian gave
him a plying look. 'When elope
it will be by moonlight, and the man
will be lean and handsome. He
won't look like you"
what does it matter how he looks
IN the moonlight"
1T doesn't matter. But it mat
tiers q lot when I look at him next
day and discover what I've eloped
with. And wouldn't be thrilled at
looking at you across a breakfast
table. Bry, for years and years"
II never get up for breakfast"
The man I elope with has to
get up. He'll bring me my toast and
coffee, with a rosebud on the tray"
"You can't marry that fellow.
He's married already. No weak
minded, angelic sap like that could
possibly have escaped until now"
1T isn't weak to be gallant" Mar
ian was distracted because she had
been trying to picture Bry across
4 breakfast table. His dampish hair
and eyes full of things he had seen
things you didn't like to think
about.
Gallant and goofy," Bry finished
for her. "Your forefathers hitched
their women to the plow along with
the OK. II they didn't pull straight
furrow they got the whip around
their legs. I'll bet your great-grand-
father sat by the fire in Scotland
and smoked while his wife did the
milking and brought in the wood"
They didn't burn wood in Scot
land. They burned peat"
We'll, whatever it was she had to
carry it in. You're soft-an you
women!"
"You," Marian stated, dryly,
''aren't 70 hard yourself. II this
car stalled in the mud right now,
I've got more muscle to push it
out than you have"
II don't need muscle" He was
complacent. 1--WE got brains. 1
know enough to give you good ad-
vice while you were pushing the
car cut"
"You make me sick with your
conceit- I don't know why came
with you anyway. Turn aromd-I
want to 60 back"
''Okay." He turned the car into q
drive, without protest, backed it,
and turned It, not looking at her.

Another Attempt

Quite few modern fighters have
given away too many pounds for
their own good. Tommy Gibbons,
who was little more than a light
heavyweight, though q very good
fighter, tried to take the title from
Dempsey in the famous Shelby,
Mont, bout. He failed.
The Neutrality-suspicious. didn't try
again until Max Schmeling weaseled
his way into the heavyweight title
by virtue Of foul claimed against
Jack Sharkey, the Boston COB. When
Der Max was installed as champ,
Jack Kearns, who had piloted
Dempsey to the title, was managing
Mickey Walker. Kearns thought
Mickey could whip Schmeling and
attempted to prove it. Walker had
knocked over bigger men than
Schmeling and packed a killing
punch in either hand. But Mickey
proved no match for the German
and Kearns' hopes were dashed in
the eighth round.

was friendless and dreary. Lossie
had not lighted the fire and the room
that Virgie persisted in calling the
"sitting-room" was cold.
The upper floor still sme1led of
camphor and alcohol and Ada
Clark's starched, scorched uni
forms. But it was very still. Los
sic had cleaned up the sick-room
and put a clean Counterpart on the
bed, very fiat and white. It looked
lonely.
Marian's room was empty, too,
and Virgie felt irritated at that. You
spent your best years raising young
ones, you gave them the best of
everything and all the freedom in
the world. You were a good parent
and what did you get? A cold house,
empty and forlorn, nobody to talk
to, nobody to give darn if you
dropped over from WEAKNESS or got
pleurisy from dressing in a cold
room.
Even in her own mind Virgie was
only half aware of the real cause of
her irritation, the pressing appre-
hension half ignored, which was her
anxiety about Tom Pruitt.
She sat and stared gloomi1y into
the fire, wondering what had hap
pened to the old man and what he
meant by wandering of. anyway,
without a word to any one-the old
mule-head! Sat, all unaware Of the
drama that had been enacted that
day, on the cold slope Of the ridge
above Hazel Fork, a drama with
only one witness. That witness was
young Bill Gallup.
Bill Gallup had been driving the
maintenance truck along q rutty
mountain road.
The road followed the slash rib
bon over the slope Of ridge where
the steel towers and wires Of q main
transmission line linked up the ca
ger plunge Of mountain torrents with
the deeper surge Of the commerce
Of the world.
Through the low growing brush OF
the slash he saw q tall figure ap-
proaching-a man who carried Q
gun.
He slowed the truck and waited.
Mountain men were sensitive for al
their harsh exteriors and to pass on
without stopping to pass the time Of
day might give o6ense that could
bring down On . power concern the
vindictive and sadistic enmity a q
whole family connection.

Conn's Chances

Conn hasn't the punch of the
above-named. He's no Fitzsimmons,
Ketchel or Gibbons. His most fer
vent admirers admit that. He is a
fast, clever boxer and he may be
able to tag Louis occasionally, then
leap out of the way. Remember
that Bob Pastor adopted similar
strategy with the Brown Bomber. He
ran away from him for 10 rounds.
And Conn is speedie; than Pastor.
But remember, too, that Louis got
the decision. Though you may not
believe it, judges are quick to recog-
nize the difference between track
meet and a prize fight.
COINS chances rest with his abil-
fty to sutpeint The champ. He can't
run away frsn him for Is rounds,
inlet no damage, and hope to win
the title. Nor can he stand toe-to-

Stop fretting about your slip

port yourself and your child. There
is every reason why you should do
it and do it at once, because at %
time gets to flying by very fast.
Before you know it, you will be in
the middle-age woman class, and
they find it much harder to get a
position in an office than young girls
do. So hurry up.
There are many reasons why you
should get back to work as soon az
possible. One is, of course, that you
will be far happier with something
to do that will keep you busy ans
interested than you are being idle,
to say nothing of the feeling of in
dependence which is balm to the
soul.
For another, your father is aging
and you cannot depend for long
upon his support, and your condi-
ton would be pitiful, indeed, If 10
years from now he left you with no
money, no job and small chance Of
getting any employment because you
had gotten rusty in your old pro-
feSSion.
And as for depending on marry
ing to solve your problem, that is
mere wishful thinking Perhaps
some man may come along who
doesn't mind taking on a ready
made family, but most men feel that
their own children are all that they
can support, and they walk high,
wide and handsome around widows
with children.

Dorothy Dix Says go
Women Should Find Employment
When Married Ties Are Broken

Dear Miss DIX am di-
vorcee, % years old, with a child ga
years old, and I am living with my
parents. My father makes fair
salary, but with my baby and me TO
support, he and mother have to do
without many things they could have
if we were not here. I have had
business training and experience,
and I am anxious to go TO a nearby
city and get job so 1 can be inde-
pendent. My mother opposes this.
She thinks I should stay at home
with her and be happy about it. But
am not satisfied just sitting here
doing nothing, waiting for some man
to come along and marry me. What
is your advice?-M. K. H.
AnsWer-I have often marveled at
the sublime selfishness of women who
dumped themselves and their chill
dren back on their poor old parents
to be supported when they happened
to lose their taste for their husbands,
or when they found out they were
married to men who were Just mere
ordinary mortals instead of romantic
heroes. Yet we see that done con-
tinually. We see fathers tired old
back getting little more bent every
day under the burden of taking care
of Mary and feeding and clothing
and educating her brood. We see
rheumatic old mother turned into a
nursemaid and hobbling painfully
around after 2-year-old child. And
we think it would have been just
as well for Mary to have stood a
husband who bored her, or one who
was grumpy, as it was for her to
make her parents suffer for her
matrimonial mistake.
So I am glad to hear of at least
one divorce who has enough back
bone not to be willing to be a
parasite on her father and mother.
I heartily recommend your plan of
getting job by which you can sup

The princess style is one of the
very best for petite figures, espe-
cially when it is designed, as this
one is. to give little roundness at
the bustline, as well as to follow the
incurve of a small waist and to
fare at the hem. That Over-the-
shoulder detailing is a version OF
the smart new soft-Shoulder effect
that you'll find very becoming, too.
And the scalloped neckline frames

This design is useful for home
frocks of gingham, linen and per-
Gale, as well as runabout frocks of
