WORCESTER SHOWS
SIX ACCIDENTS
and NO DEATHS

There We're 1881 traffic accidents
reported in Maryland during the
month of September, with 80 persons
killed and 731 injured. Baltimore
City reported 949 accidents with Is
deaths and 428 injured and the Coun-
ties 432 accidents with 26 deaths and
303 injured.
In the State there was a reduction
in traffic fatalities of 35 per cent for
September as against the same month
one year ago. The years total for
fatalities is now 345 as compared to
435 for the same period last year
reduction of 20.7 per cent.
Eleven counties experienced a IA
tality free month, Calvert, Carroll,
Charles, Dorchester, Garrett. Kent,
Montgomery Queen Anne, Somerset,
Talbot and Worcester. Calvert coun-
ty was the only county to experience
a perfect accident month-no coils
ions, no deaths, no injuries. In Wor-
CSSIeI EQUITY, IHere were accidents,
no deaths, five injuries.
Governor O'Conor and the Mary
land Traffic Safety Commission has
appealed to the public using the STREETS
and highways to reduce their speeds
to the VICTORY SPEED of 35 miles
per hour and under, and to exercise
every caution in an effort to prevent
accidents. However, in the face of
this there has been an increase of
Pig per cent in the number of persons
killed for September as compared to
August of this year, the majority of
this increase being taken up in non
collision accidents, indicating that

But she agreed and he left more

"And you won't make any trouble 2"
"Why should /? l have my baby"
The next morning he saw in the
paper that the Jervis Ameses had re-
turned from their honeymoon and
were to live in the Lewis house. Bev-
erly had come home-with Jerry of
course-to Holmes smiling at the
door, to her father. formal but APP
parently pleased, in the hall with his
new tapestries on the walls and flow
ers everywhere. She was not I'M
happy. Jerry loved her, after his
fashion. But she had no feeling of
belonging to him, or indeed to any
body, even to her father. That small
dapper man, cool and aloof and OBJ
sessed with his own affairs, seemed
to her now an absurd figure, around
which to have built furious loyalty;
and looking at him over the long
length of the handsome dinner table
that night, taciturn and self-centered,
she knew suddenly that she had
thrown away the substance of living
for this shadow, arrogant in his din
ner clothes, critical of his meal, i'm
patient at the service.
Hurry up. Holmes! Get some
food in here"
Eyes, sir. In a moment, sir"
The footman came hurrying. Hol-
mes impassive, Jerry hungry and
drinking too much champagne, and
herself alone in her mothers place,
isolated from them both, from them
all.
y
And you had lot of cocktails"
Don't come home from wedding
trip every day, honey"
Sitting there in the candlelight,
with her arms and neck bare and her
white dress shining, and facing her
situation with her usual honesty, Bev-
erly knew that if she did not love
Jerry, she was fond of him. He was
cheerful. He sang in his bath, whist
led while dressing. If his superabun-
dant vitality had tired her at times,
there were others when she was CRATE
full for it. And he was proud of her.
On that trip of theirs he had found
friends in the most unlikely places,
would Immediately plan party and
survey her carefully after she had
dressed for it.
you're looking very lovely, sweet
heart"
He would kiss her passionately,
and she would do her best to respond.
But it was acting and he knew it. He
had never really won her. He would
release her and go away, drinking a
cocktail or two to restore his self-re-
spect and lessen his sense of failure.
Even after three months of marriage
he was still counting her, she knew;
still trying to win her.
Sitting there playing with her food,
she wondered just what there was to
hold the three of them together, her
father, Jerry and herself. For years
her mother had sat where she was
sitting. Had she wondered that, too?
She could remember long silences at
the table, broken only by the stealthy
movement of the men who served the
food Now even Jerry seemed daunt-
ed. He caught her alone in the hall
after dinner and grinned at her.
"Cheery little meal, eh?" he said.
"Are they all like that?"

CHAPTER %

Five minutes later he picked up his
hat and departed He was consider
ably battered, but he felt better than
he had for days. The fact that ne
had left his opponent sitting on the
cement floor, groggy and bloody was
comforting. Some of the accumulat-
ed fury of days and weeks had ex-
ploded during the battle.
AS a matter of fact Chris, having
accepted Beverly's marriage did ms
best to forget her that summer
Alone on hot nights he was quietly
nrenaring for Europe and study on
Tetitia's five thousand dollars. he
was freshening his college German
and even studying small phrase
hook of common medical terms. he
was reading surgery again, also, ana
spending time in the operating room
watching other men work. Katie, on
the operating room staff now would
see him coming in with that eager
thrust of the shoulders as if his mlnd
were travelling ahead of his body and
would watch him surreptitiously.
When he smiled at one of the other
nurses, she would grow hot with Jeal-
ousy. ee
II was in August that he took Off
SCOTS finger.
"It's got to go, Scott"
"Go ahead, but I'd like to save the
hand"
But Chris, with the X-ray man on
the table, surveyed the dried ana
burned tissues, and knew that event.
nallv the hand would go also.
"Why don't you quit, Scott?"
Its all l know. l can't let my
family starve."
One day, however, going unexpect-
edlv into the X-ray room, he found
Scott practicing writing with his LETT
hand. Neither man said anything
and Scott put his paper aside and
showed him his fish in the anteroom'
Lately he had taken up the raising
of small tropical fish as hobby.
They required considerable care, and
Chris surmised that by filling his leis-
ure they helped him.
Ursula Martins boy was born ear
" in the fall. Chris attended her
himself. She had insisted on going
into the ward. Now and then he saw
her there, rocking quietly among the
others and awaiting the miracle OF
birth. At times, when the nurses
were busy he would find her holding
some fretful baby and would marvel
at the tenderness in her face.
She was still calm when preparing
for her labor. She took down her
long, heavy hair and braided 1t, and
walked quietly to the delivery room
when her time came.
Tt was a hot day, and the birth was
slow and difficult. Chris, leaning
over her after it was over was drip
ping with sweat. But she was smil-
ing.
"A boy?" she said feebly. Il want
ed boy I shall call him for you'
Doctor"
He put the child down in the crib.
'.Then I'll keep an eye on him for
you," he said. "Well make good
Job of him, Ursula"
She looked happier after that. She
could depend on him. She had felt
weak and alone. Now she was not
alone. And Chris, stopping in Miss
Nettie's room on the way out, told
her little of the story.
"She wanted the child" he said
land now she has it. The father will
pay her something, so that's all right
But I'd like to feel that some one
knows about her while Pm away in
case of trouble"
You know who the father is?"

eyed him.

ist. Chris" she told him. "What on
