last clipping in her scrapbook and
suggested that they go up to bed.
They went, but after Terry was in
her room and partly undressed she
decided that sleep was out OF the
question. She quickly slipped back
down the dimly lighted hall She
went out the side door from the liv-
ing room into the night. The sharp
ness In the night air felt good in
her lungs as she headed toward the
old observatory. The sky was thick
with stars. She had but one thought
in mind-the last chapter Of her
novel. She knew 1t was going to be
a hard one to write. The hero had
to get his heroine. II the hero had
only not been Brooks and the hero
inc Corinne.
She climbed stealthily up the
stone steps in the dark, feeling her
way as she went. Once In the tow
er room she found the light quickly.
Her hands trembled as she thread
ed a blank sheet Of paper into her
typewriter. She started to write.
On and on her fingers flew. Then
she stopped and gathered up the
pages she had written. She read
them over hurriedly-they were
horrible. She crumpled them into a
ball and flung them into the corner.
She tried again and again, but 1t
was always the same. Finally sleep
overcame her. She retraced her
steps with disappointment aching
in her heart. She was thinking Of

In three years over 1900 pounds
of grease have been collected and

The money was used to finance
canteens travelling with blood

such service was to have a snack
for each donor. The cost was ap-
proximately $50 for every blood
