Beatrice rebels ag 'nvt the poverty in which they Me longs for wealth because it will enable her to help the anae- mie Marela who is slowly dying and needs a change of climate. CHAPTER V Beatrice's heart, as she watched her sister on this untimely warm "April evening when the windows were wide open to soft, scented airs, began to hammer in slow, thick, terrified strokes. Were they -\ letting Marcia die by inches under their eyes? "But what can I do--what can 1 do--1?" she asked herself in a panic, "I have no money. The doctor seems satisfied . enough. Marcia doesn't seem sick, exactly. Oh, why, why doesn't somebody fall in love with her? She's so sweet, she's so good, and she'd be so happy in her own life, with a husband and a car and kids and a garden--"" Late In May she went alone to Marcia's doctor, and blubbered helplessly, forlornly, like a child, when he began to talk to her. "I'm sorry," said Beatrice, mop- ping her eyes, struggling to regain her dignity as the man looked at her' in polite sympathy. 'But we had no idea--my mother and I-- that it was so bad!" "Oh, yes--this sort of thing fis always serious!' Doctor Duchesne sa'd simply, regretfully. "But you said--you said all Msreia would have to do was to ga'n those eleven pounds--"" He shook his head faintly, pol- {shed his glasses with a fine hand- kerchief, "Yes, But it is almost Iimpos- sible to gain, in her condition. Run down, you know--"' A silence. Then Beatrice wip- . ed her eyes, gulped, and looked at "und stronger of the two, was em- on this hideous Saturday him courageously through wet lashes, "But, then, what are we to do, Dr. Duchesne?" "Ah, there are plenty of things for us to do!" the doctor sald al- most gayly. She hated him, She hated the spring, coming so softly, so rich- 1y, go fluffily green to the trees in 8is horrid little side yard. She preted his tan net window cur- tains and his bronze elephant book ends; she hated this orderly office, w'th the sunshine slanting into it, after- noon, And she hated poverty, hum- {liating, heartbreaking, inexorable. Why should she have come to ask this dapper, unconcerned little doc- tor if Marcia oughtn't to stop work, if Marcia oughn't to take a long rest, in some hot, dry coun- try? Of course he would say that Marcia ought to do exactly those things--and what of {7 That wouldn't even pay him his five- dallar fee, so simply solicited by nis secretary, as Beatrice, blind and agonized, walked past the neat little desk on her way out. "I don't see how my sister can get away just mow," Beatrice had stammered to him wretchedly. And he had answered in doctor's phrase, "I think it's. ..hardly 2 question of can, Miss--ah, Miss St. John, I think it's a question of must now. I told her months ago that rest might put that weight on and start her in the right direction again, It hasn't, unfortunately. Ask her to come to sea 1." Meat balls, fried potatoes and chocolate custard for dinner that night; somehow it did not seem the right supepr for a hot May night. Beatrice was quiet, so pre- occapled, that her mother asked her if she would like a can of as- paragus opened, as a salad. The girl said no, and Mrs. St. John of- tered kindly to telephone for some fce, and they could all have iced tea. But Beatrice, angry, helpless tears in her eyes, said "No" again, and then, more appreciately: "No, thén Mummy. You're awfully kod. ut this is fine-- this is all Fight, I guess I'm just not hungry." "Don't you get sick!" Marcia said. with a faint, despairing laugh and an accent on the pronoun, and Beatrice, pulling herself together, disclaiming sickness and fatigue and low spirits poldly, asked her- self in a panic what families as poor as theirs did in circumstances like that. What could they do? That night Mrs. St. John played cards as usual, and Beatrice sat at the table in the center of the par. jor, pasting last summer's snap- shots into her photograph book and lettering them carefully with white ink. She liked fussy, dainty work, and pressed and , snipped carefully, absorbed in what she was doing. There had been recent rains, but the night was warm and clear, and the, twilight seemed to linger a long t'me. There were unwonted noises and wolees in the shabby street, and the thick new leaves on a man'e tree, at the corner, waved end moved restlessly, gently, in a soft wind. Marcia burst into ters. She was struggling in their arms. her mother and sister both trying to hold her, for a few min- utes, and then they were all in the bedroom, and Beatrice, the larger hra-ine her, Marcia's heod on her The Make Bele Wi About A Young Girl Who Married Her Employer. ly, as if Beatrice were the mother, and her mother the child. "It's just--" sobbed 'poor Mar- cia, gulping and plunging, and wiping her eyes upon anything she could reach, and beginning to laugh again even as she began to ery--"" {t's just that I know-oh, I know, you darling! And I do want to live--I do want to live-- I don't want to die before I've had my chance to live-- § "I see it in your faces," she gasped, straightening up, and blowing her nose, and facing Beat rice with trembling, smiling lips and drenched eyes. "You can't hide it. And I think I'd been hop- ing--1 think I'd peen hoping--I'm not putting on weight, Mummy, and I know it. I've seen it all! And in a f)w w-w-w-weeks," she faltered, "I believe I'll get used to it. But now--just sometimes" Beatrice found words. They were heartening, scolding words, and she did not spare them, as she helped Marcia's lean, chilly form in between the sheets, and ran about for pillows and hot-water bag. An odd look was in the younger sister's green-gray eyes as she came and went There was a sob- ered, semsible quality to it that contrasted itself oddly to Beat- rice's favorite expression of dream- ing and laughing through life. It had suddenly occurred to her that she was a fool. And in her pray- ers that night she put a new peti- tion: "Oh, my God, I think I must be erazy. I've never fallen In love with any man--I've never wanted to, and consequently I've come to believe that something remarkable is waiting for me--that Launcelot on a white horse is going to come galloping into North Underhill and carry me off. Please--please-- don't let it be too late for me to save Marcia if marrying Houston Challoner will save her!" Some weeks later she dined with Houston Challoner at a little caf- eterla that was just around the corner from the St. John's apart- ment house, It came quite naturally, after all, Mr, Challoner had called, as he often did, to ask for Mgrela, and had brought roses. There were a few minutes of wild confusion and laughter in the apartment, and then he was conducted from the kitchen to the bedrom, and Mar- cia, loking suddenly quite lovely, with the flowers in her arms, had a few minutes in paradise, Mummy wasn't dressed, and didn't want anything but a cup of tea, but Beatrice, it appeared, was gong to the cafeteria for her din- ner. The caller quite simply and naturally offered to accompany her. "It's a little Southern plaee-- they have a colored cook---some- times it's quite good," Beatrice nervously as they walked to the cafeteria, : "I like a cafeteria," Challomer sald. "I can't imagine you in a ocafe- teria," the girl said, amused. "I hope they will have corn bread-- they have the best corn bread!" she exclaimed more than once. He really did seem to know just what to do; he took his tray and the napkin--wrapped utensils quite readily, and he and Beatrice went along the track, admiring everything and choosing here and there, There was corn bread to- night, and by fortunate chance!--- apple ple too, and bluefish, The place was quiet; it wag late for diners, and they could sit isol- ated and at peoce in a window an- gle, with pots of flowers and blue- checked curtains framing the pleasant vista of the warm, twi- light street. 'Two candles embel- lished rather than lighted their meal, and Beatrice's strange blue- green eyes looked mysterious and starry by their light; her face was a little pale, and her manner oddly gentle and quiet; she seemed tired. Against the white lining of her old, shabby, dark-blue straw hat her richlv red hair sprayed in ten- drils.

Daugherty, attorney- attorney-general in the Harding Cabinet, has brokén a long silence to disclaim all connection with the famous 'little green house in K Street," Washington, which once was so famous. He has written a Columbus newspaper denying that he ever saw the house, ever knew any one who had been in it, and even cast- ing doubt upon the existence of the house itself. His letter came from Sarasota, Fla., and constituted the first word of Daugherty which many persons here had heard in many weeks. His home is at Washington Court House, near Columbus, but he has not been there recently, Daugherty, at the same time he ES AL SS A wrote the newspapers, wired to Senator James F, Watson, of In-' diana, asking Watson to state publicly that "I was never inside the 'little green house,' if there was one and never even saw ft from the outside." 'Watson, who is in Chicago, said he had received the telegram from Daugherty, but that he could make nothing tangible out of it and had wired Daugherty for an explana- tion, Daugherty's letter and tele~ gram were prompted, apparently by a story printed in the Colum- bus, Ohio., Dispatch, written by Louis Ludlow, special Washington correspondent for the Dispatch, Daugherty felt that the story which told of the : "little green house" and Daugherty's alleged connection therewith as brought out during the Senate investiga- tion of the Department of Justice under Daugherty, "made offensive reference" to him. . FOR SHOE VALUES 1 Guessing Games It eliminates guessing, \ n to guess. HEY were a lot of fun when we were youngsters, those guessing | games. Guess who this is] Guess the number of beans in the : pot! Guess how long the pendulum will swing! Sometimes we came H pretty close to the right answer. Sometimes we were a long way off. Whichever we were, we all had a good time, and the worst guesser got as much of the evening's refreshments as the best. How far away those guessing games seem now] And how they have lost their appeal. Parhape it's because we older, that to know is better t package on the grocer's shelf! Eh By reading the advertisements regulary, and buying ad- goods, you take theguessing out of spending your money. , as we grew Guess which is the best Guess which bolt of cloth is pure wool! Guess which talking machine will give us most satisfaction! No, guessing for those things wasn't so much fun. We wanted to be certain. And that was one of the reasons we turned to advertising. Advertising takes the guesswork out of buying. 'It lets us know what is best and what is cheapest and what will last longest. It does away with unsatisfactory uncertainties. The advertisements in this newspaper tell a concise, interesting and accurate story about articles you need. Reading them is the surest and quickest path to wise buy-
