The local school board passed

teachers have married during

A big door of the hangar was
raised and from the interior the
men were bringing lengths of lum-
Der to load onto the car. Curt could
see plainly the tall piles of lumber,
cross-stacked for curing, that filed
the open space of the building to
the very caves. Another door was
partly open, showing further piles Of
material-pipe in this instance.
However, there was no further
thought of an overnight stay, for as
Curt handed back the glasses the
planes motor was gunned to deaf
ening pitch. This time there was
no break in its smoothness.
1t was then only matter of min
utes before the two mechanics were
buttoning up their shirts. Blanding
and Trainor shook hands all around,
decidedly in, pleasanter frame of
mind now. Curt caught the final
look both officers flung at the Junk
ers planes, then at each other, the
suspicion of smiles on their lips as
though at some secret joke.
The second motor of the army
plane was opened up, both were
gunned for a few moments, then
the plane took off, circled once
above the field, and Strengthened out
to speed off for Soledad.
On the trip up the mountainside
to San Alejo, DR.. Toenjes had moth
ing to say. And at the station, with
a short "Gootpy, Meestoor Coor-
tiss," the Dutchman stumped off in
one direction, Curt headed for home.
Presently Curt remembered that
he'd wanted to see Montaya today.

a good cook, and she suggests that
Lee and ! come to her for dinners
at regular boarding rates, but that
would mean marketing and dish
washing for me on the old terms, ex-
cept that we would be paying $50 a
month-more than we could afford
unless I went on teaching. / am so
perplexed between them all
don't know what to do; / long to get
away from everything, and wish Lee
could get an offer from some far
away city and I could simply walk
out on the routine and drudgery, re-
sponsibility and worry that have
been mine so long!"
The chances are that the capable,
affectionate mother is making quite
a martyr of herself, just widowed
and with Bessy married and now
Nina deserving her! And the chances
are also that she would tell you
that her whole purpose in living was
to make life easier for her girls and
contribute, at any sacrifice, to their
happiness.
Such mothers never look back and
remember just how little their own
mothers plans and desires mat
tered to their own youth. They
stepped off happily into matrimony;
they took it for granted that every
young woman has right to her own
life.
And, so she has. If Nina's mother
has to take boarders, let them be
boarders other than Nina and Lee.
Nina and Lee have a right to pri-
vacy, to the delights of their own
home, no matter how small and
plain it is. Coming every day to
the same old dining-room for din
ner, hearing the same old problems
of leaking faucets or broken win
dow-blinds, what freedom is Nina
going to enjoy? She will wipe the
same old dishes, answer the old tele-
phone, sit down to the same two
games of cribbage just as she has
done for years.
Mother Owes Apology.
Nina has given enough of her life
to her old people. 1t is her mother
who ought to be grieving, who ought
to be apologize that she has man.
aged her affairs so badly that this
splendid daughter isn't to have a
pretty wedding, an outfit of lovely
new clothes with which to go to her
husband.
My advice to Nina is to get mar
ried at once, and let her helpless
mother, her criticizing aunts, and
her generous cousins and uncle set
tie all the problems that her mar
riage causes at home. Doctors
have a way of prospecting, and doc
tors wives are fortunate women,
because the incessant tragedies and
responsibilities of the greatest pro-
fession teach a man the value of
home life, serenity, affection, child
hood. The years ahead will be kind
er to Nina than those that have
gone; hers has been the sort of girl
hood that makes for a happy and
grateful maturity.
AS for her mother, she and any
other mother ought to be ashamed
if they cannot lift the burden that
keeps their children from fulfilling
their own destinies because they are
too loyal to break away.
For Nina's comfort, I may say
that in hundreds of cases it is the
marriage of supposedly indispen-
sable daughter that has turned out
to be the greatest blessing of a
mothers life. In Nina's deepening
joy and prosperity, her proud wife
hood and motherhood, Nina's moth
er is going to experience the keen
est satisfaction of her life.

and change, for he'd spent longer on
the airfield than he'd intended. He
turned on his heel, lengthenened his
stride, and made off for the execu-
tive office.
The thought of Montaya brought a
bad taste to his mouth. Curt had
no illusions about the man. Directly
guilty of the actual murders here
or not, they couldn't have been COW
cred up-maybe not planned-with-
out Montaya's connivance.
BY God, tycoon was always a
tycoon, no matter what his nation
atty. If you can't get what you
want by fair means, then rob, cheat,
murder. Take the line of least re-
sistance for the glory of the balance
sheet. It had been done before in
these countries. Curt had seen it.
Associated hadn't been above ques-
tionable deals in its earlier days.
Briefly Curt wondered why the
landing of the army plane hadn't
brought Montaya to the field. 1t
had been down a good thirty min
utes, time enough and to spare for
Montaya to have put in an appear
ance.
The commissary was closing for
the day. A few last clerks were
leaving the offices above. Curt
crossed the patio and climbed the
wide, tiled staircase.
Down the cool office corridor he
pounded, his heels little deadened
by the strip of green linoleum laid
along the center: Montaya's ruby
nailed secretary was gone from the
outer office, her typewriter folded
into the desk, papers stacked neatly
in baskets.
But Montaya was in. As Curt
entered the outer Office, he heard
voices from behind the senor's door,
voices harsh and angry, one expostu-
lating, the other laying down the
law.
And the louder voice was not Mon
taya's. It was DR.. Toenjes, who
must have made a Decline from
the station to Montaya's office when
leaving Curt only few minutes ago.
They were mot speaking French,
which Montaya professed to use
with the Dutchman for convenience,
but were talking, to judge from the
sounds Of it, in the Dutchman's own
language!
Curt heard his name flung by DIR.
Toenjes, and he took it that the
argument was about his visit to the
airfield rather than the forced land
ing of the army plane.
"Cripes," he muttered. ''Montaya
himself suggested the visit. And
why the build-up the day / arrived
over using French with Toenjes il
he can talk Dutch that fiuently?"
Curt hesitated, hand on knob OF
the door through which he'd just
come. The argument waxed strong
er, a hand thumped a desk to pune

er to be satisfactorily answered,
for even when it's all reasoned
out, human hearts will solve it
as affection and weakness and
flial obedience dictate, and
elderly tyrants will continue to
have things their own way.
Nina is %; she has been the
main support of a family of
four for eight years. For six
of those years she has been engaged
to be married; her husband-to-be
is young doctor with no very bril-
liant prospects; Nina has no money
saved and they are wondering
whether they dare take the chance
of marrying, with the possibility of
obligations to his old people and hers
staring them in the face.
"My father died last May, after
years of invalidism," writes Nina.
"My mother is a strong capable
woman of Sc, but she has bad eyes,
cannot read, and lives in constant
fear that blindness will overtake her.

insurance money I have turned our

This is already rented for $40 a

$1,000 a year as resident at the
hospital, and is beginning to have
few private patients; not a very
good chance that could help my
mother either, in any crisis.

own home," the letter goes on. "It
is misery for man and woman
who love each other to put off again
and again the time of their happi-
ness together, and we have grown
weary and impatient, sometimes to
the point of almost breaking with
each other, during these long years.
I have not had money for pretty
things, for the holidays we might
have had together; I have worn my
cousins clothes, schemed and wor-

like an old woman.
"My mother says now that she
cannot possibly manage on $40 a

until Lees income warrants our
leaving her. Lee says that a doc
