Until the night Of the fire. Just
how it started no one ever knew,
but. all at once. the whole apart
ment house seemed TO be Satu-
rated with smoke, with tiny flames
darling here and there.
Naturally. there was intense eX-
citement as the tenants came
out, carrying odds and
ends of treasures. The firemen
quickly got the hose playing on
the building. volunteers scurried
here and there looking after the
women and crying chill
dren. Every one seemed TO be out
but IT was Cynthia who said:
where's Miss Audrey?" And
Miss Audrey was nowhere TO be
seen.
Had Luella been home, prob
ably Miss Audrey would have been

and half a dozen of his buddieS
formed a flying wedge which
pushed everybody out of the way,
even the firemen.
They stormCd the building while
Cynthia was trying to tell the
fremen which was Miss Audrey's
apartment But the boys knew.
And when they found her door
closed. they threw themselves
against it and broke il down.
Miss Audrey was lying on the
floor. She had started for the
door, but had stumbled in the
Imurky dark and had struck her
head as she fell. With the thick
smoke and the possibility that the
fire might have spread there was
no doubt the boys had saved her
life.
Only minor damage was done by
the fire and this was cleared away
in a few days. So II was Just a

a little excited.

But Luella was beaming.
That very afternoon Cynthia

most unkempt boys of the neigh

afraid TO let othem in her apart

they were TO get the chair for her.
Audrey'S auStere attitude meant

FRIENDS FOR 3 YEARS

For three wears she and Audrey
had been friends ever since they
both had moved INTO the renovated
apartment house IN very humble
part Of the city.
Poor folk were all round them.

was ono reason why the tiny
APARTMENTS in the hig building
were So reasonable Business men
and women with small salaries,
some elderly persons. like Luella
and Audrey with annultles or
small incomes from o. h Q r
sources. very few young mar
RED couples lived there
. The married couples were there
only until they had saved enough
10 get 20 some better place, which
also was the case with the young
business men and women. But the
older people found a refuge in the
building their own little corners
rate they could afford plenty
of company, stores. movie houses
and transportation handy So they
were permsnents.
Luella and Audrey were vastly
different in disposition. but they
were real friends, which many
times happens in opposites. Luella,
a widow, all alone in the world,
with a small income from a couple
of small town properties. carried
her so years easily. glad she was
so comfortable, rejoicing in her
happy memories instead of being
ssddened because the realities
were gone.
PICTURE OF CONVENIENT
Plump. apple checked, gray
haired, always in spotless cotton
dresses, she was a picture of con-
tentment.
Audrey. most definitely an "old
maid" looked 10 years older than
Luella although their ages were
almost the same. Thin. angular
stiff in carriage and manner, she
kept closely 10 herself, finding her
endowment in books. walks and
the theater rather than the human
companionships that Luella loved.
But she honestly liked LuellaI
and although she rever would
have admitted. looked forward TO
their hours together.
But she did not approve OF
things Luella did. So when Luella
stopped in TO ask Audrey for a
donation 10 the playground just
oIened by the Police Athletic

the members of Dayton's patriotic

the morning after Army Day to
begin publishing the poison pen

During the first week of his
articles in the Journal, Pegler
attacked the United States Su-

wound it up with a request that
an eastern editor be lynched. The
articles were so vicious that the

in an editorial.
Union men are now fully famil-

Dies and his infamous un-Amer-

loves his country cannot help
despising Dies, especially since Vice
President Wallace has so correct

statements might just as well have
been written by Goebbels.
