she's different from our people. She

Wintridge. She never wanted any
thing to do with us and I don't sup

He smoked deeply and silently
for a few moments, wondering II he
could tell his aunt about what he
had learned last night.
His silence proved too much for
her. She said, when the Wisters
came here, Anthony, everybody
was nice to them, same as we arc
to all strangers . . . in spite of
their being so different, as anyone
could see. Heathenish, you might
almost say"
"Sun-worshipers," he murmured.

They were both thinking Of the
same thing, but thinking differently
of the Wisters who lived more in
their garden than in their house.
The town had never ceased to Won

He found himself repeating Bar

His aunt made a queer clucking
noise in her throat. "You can't
make me, or anybody else believe

the way they acted. If the Wisters
wanted to belong they HAD the

Did they?' he asked.

CHAPTER THREE

MISS ADDIE Bradshaw sat at
the roll-top desk in the surgery.
Just as she had been sitting for
nearly 40 years, and spoke into the
telephone with evaporation and
experience that the years had
merited:
"Millie Sims, he don't need the
doctor any morn 1 do! Give the
child a good physic, put a mustard
plaster on his chest for 20 minutes
and keep him in the house until
he's over II. You know the doctors
too busy TO be running in every
time somebody gets a cold" She
put the receiver down with an eX-
pressive cluck.
What's this, Addie! Spelling my
business again ?" Her nephew stood
in the doorway, filling it with his
height, topped with tousled head
and eyes still sleepy.
There's some as'd think him
homely," Addie thought, but ]
think he's got the incest face I ever
saw Aloud she said, Fine bust
ness the Simses arel They amt
paid a bill since your grandfather
stopped sending them to save
stamps. You can shave after
breakfast, Anthony. I got hot
cakes"
He followed her into the dining
room and sat down at the head of
the table. The morning sun
streamed through the shining
panes of the window, past pots of
plants marching in still little rows
on sill and shelf. and fell warmly
on his face. 1t lighted every corner
of the room with cheer as It had on
every sunny day he could remem-
Der.
But this morning, for the FIRST
time, its cheeriness was lost upon
him and he saw the shabbiness of
familiar things; the old rug, thin
and faded to n~ondescript browns,
the expert darnlng of the snowy
linen cloth and the patches in the
starched lace curtains, the thread
bare arms Of the rocker by the
window, the worn paint of the
woodwork and the broken board in
the floor that had long since been
in need OF repair that he could not
afford.
Miss Addie came in from the
kitchen and put a platter of bacon
and eggs in front Of him. She
wrisked a napkin from a plate of
hot cakes and sat down. She
poured strong, fragrant coffee into
their two cups and gave him one.
Had my breakfast, but I'll keep
you company" she said, dropping
two Jumps of sugar into her cup.
"Tsk tsk,, Addie. Two humps ?"
She snorted, pleased with the
banter and affectionate disrespect
with which her brothers boy treat
cd her. 81 don't hold with modern
dieting she said primly.
Tony Bradshaw hid a smile back
OF the morning newspaper. Miss
Addie, spare and ageless at 81, need
not have told him that she paid no
tribute to beauty, Ever since he
could remember, her straight, I'M
compromising figure had been as Il
was, her hair as tightly drawn into
a bun at the back. her raiment of
the same unchanging pattern. Only
the steel-rimmed glasses were new.
Tony helped himself to generous
portions and spread sweet butter
and jam on a hot cake. ANY other

the hands of German troops as the
result Of heavy defeats inflicted on
the Red Army, the Nazi high COM
mand reported today.
Nazi columns also are advancing

particularly south of the Kuban
River where they are moving in the

New Period of Fighting.
The United States Navys devel-
oplng conquest of the Southeastern
Solomon Islands was regarded in
official quarters here as opening a
new period of inter- island fighting
over supply lines in the far Pacific.
This will involve not only further
American assaults on enemy-held
islands but also probably a continu-
alton of japanese efforts to win po-
sltlonS from which American COM
munlcations can be severely ha-
rassed, authorities said
The immediate purpose of the
Solomons action was dscribd as two
fold: To secure the American sup
ply line to Australia and New Zea-
land against offensive thrusts by the
japanese, and to provide an advance
base in those islands directly menac-
ing enemy operations centers to the
northwest.
Thus, both military and naval
men, who declined to be quoted by
name, would assign only limited OBJ
jectives to the first strictly offensive
operation undertaken by United
States forces on the Southwestern
Pacific war front and they indicated
that the big push for victory in the
Pacific was yet to be actually started.
They cautioned that any complete
evaluation of the Solomons invasion
must await information on the size
OF the forces engaged. So far it has
been announced that Marines were
doing the land fighting and the i'm
pllcatlon was that naval and air
units involved were only such as
would be required to give them
adequate support.
1t seemed unlikely, therefore, in
the opinion of these authorities, that
the battle in the Solomons would
determine Japan's ability to hold all

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE Ma
tons steel industry will operate
this week at 972 per cent of ca
pacity with an indicated production
of 1862 800 tons, the American Iron
& Steel Institute estimated today.
Last weeks estimated operations
were 965 per cent with production
of 1,65O,8O0 tons of steel A month
ago the rate was SO per cent and
output 1,676,500 tons, and a year
ago 96.2 per cent with output at

CLEVELAND, Aug. II (P).-The
Army and Navy now have au-
thority over the right of the
Nations iron and steel supplies,
the magazine Steel commented
today.
"A tighter grip on steel for mill
tary needs was taken by the War
Production Board last week, with
the Army and Navy given exclusive
use of the boards top ratings, AAA
AA-1 and AA-2, and also the right
to approve or reject applications
for other ratings down to and in
Guiding AA-4," the trade publica-
ton noted in its weekly review.
"The immediate effect of this is
to subordinate all requirements con-
sidered to be of a less essential
character
Paper work in connection with
re-ratings continues SO heavy that
some mills are not able to schedule
much below AA-1 and certain pro-
ducers not even that, although still
others appear in somewhat better
position. In fact, under production
directives, which require a producer
to roll a given minimum quantity
of specified product within a given
period, they are able to give atten-
ton to ratings on some products
which are further down the scale
than they have considered for some
time
