Well" Sally commented as she hung up
her tea-towel, you win, Mother"
Edith put both arms around her and gave
her little squeeze.
I'm so glad, dear, she said fondly. Il was
sure you'd see that Mother was right.
Sally was hard and unyielding in her arms.

"Thatll be different argued Sally. "I'll

Edith just smiled and put her arms around
Rusty and kissed him.
DAILY moped the first week that Rusty was
gone. She spent most of her evenings in her
room re-reading Rusty's daily letters, and
writing endless letters to him.
The second week she was restless. She
cleaned up her room She pasted a great litter
of clippings into her scrapbook, and made
herself new dress She went to four or five
movies alone When Edith suggested COM
pany, Sally almost snapped at her.
But don't want company, she said.
please let me alone, Mother!
But she got over that, as Edith knew she
would. Marge Wallace came by for her one
afternoon, and they went on small but salts
factory shopping spree, winding up at the
Sugar Bowl.
There they ran into half dozen old
cronies "And were they wrought up
about thisF' Sally said, juggling her left
hand so that the diamond Rusty had
given her flashed. Lou Mason is
throwing party for me day after to-
morrow, and tomorrow night bunch
of us are going roller skating. And Sat-
urday afternoon II the weather S decent,
we're going for picnic at the Grove" ~
"Grandp' said Edith, and hoped V
that her sigh of relief was not audible.
1t didn't occur to her at the moment
that Sally's crowd was too young to
enjoy hen parties; that boys roller skate
as we'll as girls, and that it's quite Gus
tomary to have boys along on picnics.
There was sailor at the skating
rink who had won prizes for fancy skat-
ing, and he said Sally had what it took.
And Lou Mason's brother was home
on furlough, and he'd been an extra
man, so - well, he was pretty nice.
He'd been on maneuvers, and he had
some of the craziest stories to tell.
He also went on the picnic, and he
brought Sally home shortly after mid
night. r

had such difficulty in hearing perfectly audi

"Oh Rustyp' she cried. How wonderful!

l'D SAY it was in the bag. You'll have to

with rare flash of intuition - some time
very soon. Tonight / promised to take
Mother to a show"
Edith flashed him her best well-dOne-thou-
good-and- -faithful-servant smile, and Sally
gave him a quick hug and kiss.
You're good guy" Edith said as they
walked through the early twilight toward the
neighborhood movie. "And sometimes you
think right fast"
"Why thank you!'' Wayne said amiably.
"But it was obvious that we would only be
in the way back there. Besides did promise

He'll make good officer. Got the right

Wayne took six or seven steps in silence.

mot on Rusty's part" Edith said with
conviction.
How about Sally?" Wayne asked almost
roughly. "Rustys mighty fine youngster;
certainly wouldn't like to think she was just
leading him on for the fun of it. Rusty's the
kind of boy girl could hurt"
That's right Wayne; he is. And believe
Sally thinks this is the real thing. Whether
it actually is - Sally's very young, and there
are so many nice-looking boys in uniform
these days.
"A boys heart" said Wayne, so simply
and directly and honestly that the words
didn't sound in the least mawkish or sentl-
mental, ''is nothing for girl to play with.
And Sally mustn't, Edith. You - kind OF

Edith and Sally. There was no reason why he
should even imagine such thing. But Sally
knew, and Edith knew, and her heart was
like a stone with the knowledge that unless
Sally saw the wisdom of the ultimatum, and
accepted it graciously. the rift between them
could only widen and widen.
The next morning, after Wayne had gone
to the Office, Sally helped silently with the
breakfast dishes. Deliberately Edith kept
silent also.

Edith recognized the device now: it was
blackmail. She'd used it herself years ago,
when it was terribly important that she have
her own way. You threatened to do some
radical thing, and then let yourself be coaxed
out of it. Edith had even tried the trick on
Wayne, but Wayne hadn't fallen for it. He'd

Sometimes, Sally said in shaken voice,

She was pounding her heels and walking
very fast when she went out; as though, Edith
thought, she were afraid she might weaken

Wayne swore when Edith told him about

he said grimly, is a good licking!"

silent
Perhaps, then," Edith said, well have
to put it differently. I'd hoped this wouldn't
be necessary If you want to, that's quite alt
right. But, darling, you're not going to marry
Rusty and keep on having boy friends - no

are. won't have it, Sally
Sally glared at her; then her face broke up
and with sharp little gasp she turned and
ran from the room.
Edith didn't follow, although her arms
ached to hold her daughter and comfort her.
Edith was woman, too, and she knew that
now was not the time for comforting.

New 'Super Bomber Built

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14-(AP)-A American
super bomber hauling more explosives and having
vastly greater range than any existing warplane
is in actual production.
An unspecfied number of the deadly new air giants
has been delivered to the Army within the last several
weeks.
An increased rate of output is scheduled for this
month";
Dwarfing the Consolidated Liberator and Boeing Fly
ing Fortress the dreadnaught of the sky is reckon
ed capable of bringing the nnermos production centers
of Her's European fortress and the Japanese empire
within the sights of United States bombarders
The plane has been identified the Bog by the
Army weekly Yank in recent article which declared:
"A super fortress, the B-29, is being built witch
will have greater bomb capacity and longer range
than any existing bomber"
From previous guarded reports which have cleared
military censorship, it appeared that officials do not
expect to the airplane in combat before 1914
This presumably is because of the time required to
attain fulscale production, train crews, and eliminate
any bugs which may show up in the early models.
