THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1929 ~The G _INSTALMENT THIRTY-THREE Fred and So-so The three met at breakfast to compare telegrams and experiences. Fred showed them a cable which made them laugh. It was an offer for a vaudeville tour and suggested that if none of them knew how to sing or dance the {nstruction would be forthcoming free, as well as the services of a song writer to furnish them with a song composed in hon- or of the flight of the Golden Girl. "I have the prize, though," So- s0 said, holding out a yellow cable sheet. Always knew you'd make fit. Have sold story of your father's in- vention to syndicate. Congratula- tion. Horton." "Well of all the nerve," Fred began. "Oh, let him alone, he'll write a lot of flowery stuff about father that won't do any harm, let him turn an honest penny for a change," Bo-so said. "Look at this one," Jerry held out the picture of a rather elderly woman inscribed to "muy estidado amigo, con affecion." "There's a letter with it," Jerry told them," and while I can't read much Spdn- ish I gather that the lady wishes to bestow her heart and her affections, as well as an ample pocket book on Jerry. Sweet of her, isn't it?" So-s0 looked thoughtfully at him, "What was it in Connie's cable that you wanted to téll me about. I just can't take an hour to talk with you this morning as I promised last night I would." She had decided not to risk any interviews with Jerry. The mem- ory of that moment when they had told each other the truth aboard the Golden Girl was still too poign- ant for safety. : "Just that Clayton Is working hard on your father's invention and hopes to have definite news for you spoon. I think you're going to make some money, So-so--and, of course, you'll have your share of what Fred and I draw down from the flight of, the Golden Girl." "I will not," So-so exclaimed in- By BARBARA WEBB dignantly. "I won't touch a penny. I came along uninvited even though you did tell the world otherwise. Nothing could have induced you to bring me if I hadn't stowed away. Don't talk nonsense, Jerry." Jerry got up from the table, "Well--we'll talk about it later. Coming along Fred? There's a gang of newspaper men here with an in- terpreter and all they want is the story of our lives." "I think I'll stay and talk to So- so a few minutes, if she doesn't mind," Fred sald. So-s0 rose nervously. "Not now Fred, there isn't time. You ought to be with Jerry. I'll talk to you later." ' "No. Now." Fred reached out and caught her by the hand. "Now, So-80." Jerry smiled at them, "Bless you my children, I'm off now. I envy you--it's lovely here, isn't it?" They ad breakfasted on a wide verandah, their privacy guarded by a white-coated servant with strict orders to let no one pass. - Before them stretched a garden of tropical flowers, stirred by a gentle wind. So-s0 and Fred sat silently after Jerry left them, neither wishing to be the first to speak. At last Fred said, "Well, So-s0?" She smiled at him, "Well, Fred, Isn't it--isn't it rather public here- --'" she gestured to the attentive servant. ; "I'm not going to make love to you, So-so. I just want to talk," Relief showed in her face. Oh, then, talk away," she said lightly. Fred avoided her eyes, "I'm not only not going to make love to you --I'm going to ask you to release me from our engagement." Fred!" "Don't pretend you're not glad, So-s0." "I'm not glad," she sald vehem- ently, "I'm perfectly miserable at your even suggesting such a thing. I haven't been more--more--affec- tionate since we landed because I didn't want to cause talk. I want- ed it to be our secret for a while longer--I--"" OLDEN GIRL "Don't go on, So-s0. It's all ove that dream of mine, 4 nt 0 a of, I don't want "But you do." "No. Not now." "But, Fred, why not, what has happened, what has changed you?" ma th, that I don't want a who doesn't lov. ovi ee t love me as I love "But suppose I do." For the first time he looked at her, "Do you love me, So-507" She could not * meet his eyes, Twice she tried to form the words, "I do," and twice she failed. "That's all, So-s0. I know now that we'd both be unhappy, that it would never do for us to marry, and from now on your promise to marry me is forgotten." Tears filled her eves "I don't un- derstand," she faltered, "Don't try to understand, So-so. You're free. Accept that fact-- and forget anything e'se." She put her hand over his. "Per- haps some day, Fred--later--it you don't change." "I'll never change, So-so. Ill never love any one else as I do you. And this 1s final, When we go back, I'm going to leave Mineola and work go hard at something that I can forget you. I'll spare myself the torment of seeing you, and per- haps, who knows, someday there will be some one who will love me whom I can love." "Tell me one thing, Fred," she pleaed. "Has this--this decision of yours anything to do with--with Jerry?" "It has nothing to do with Jer- ry," he lied steadily. ' ""Then, if it's just because you think that it would mean unhappi- ness for us to marry, I accept my freedom, Fred." They clasped hands and Fred went In search of Jerry leaving So- 80 to contemplate her new freedom to wonder if it would help any for her to be free when they returned to New York and Jerry was once again with Connie. (To be Continued Tomorrow) SALE FOR CHARITY IS DISAPPOINTING "Daddy" Browning's Pockets Held only $2,030.000 for Santa Fund New York, June 20.--FEdward W. (daddy) Browning's pockets were a jingle Tuesday with $2,- 030,000, which he will use to make the world safe for Santa Claus. Daddy expected to have $6,000,- 00 with which to spread sweetness and 'light to everyone 'regardless of race, creed or color," but it seemed there weren't many buyers when he put real estate up for auc- tion Monday. Six parcels of real estate were withdrawn because: the price was not what it should have been. Everyone agreed it wasn't Dad- dy"s fault that the auction was disappointing. © He did everything possible, even renting Madison Square Garden and appearing un the platform in person. There were "egpecial accommodations for lad- fes," but despite that the male was predominant in the audience when Daddy climbed on the rostrum ana said "how do you do, everybody." Joseph P. Day, the auctioneer, fell completely under the spell of the spirit of Madison Square Gare den where the men who labor to bring forth these pugilistic battles of the century have their offices. "This," cried Mr. Day, "is the sale of the century. Never before has a great real estate sale been held in so great an inclosed space." Then he got down to, business. Among the 5,997,00 New York- ers who stayed away from the Gar- den Monday was Mrs. I'rances Heenan Browning, the same "Peaches" who has caused Daddy to spend so much of his time in courts since their marriage. Dad- dy's lawyers announced Monday that a final settlement of his muri. tal affairs was about to be maav. Daddy is going to have another sale, he said, and dispose of the property that was not purchased Monday. Then he ' will use the money to establish three founda- tions, to wit: "Foundation No. 1--To furnish and deliver toys free for children in juvenile homes and institutions in New York State. Foundation No. 2.--To make It worthwhile for larger boys and girls and young people to help oth- ers and put a premium on doing good everywhere throughout the United States. "Foundation No. 8--To open and furnish a way for older per- sons and everyone to fame and fortune who accomplish the most good for their fellow beings in cer- tain lines throughout the world." After explaining about his foun- dations and watching some of his property go unpurchased, Daddy was tired and seemed to have lost his customary optimism. "It was fair, just fair," he said, his voice sounding somewhat small in the vastness of Madison Square Gardens from whence all the cus- tomers had fled. (00D MARKET FOR CANADIAN AUTHORS Women's Press Club Con- vention Addressed by Canadian Novelist y St. John, N.B., June 20.--Cana- da within the next 25 years will witness something spectacular, solid and profitable in the maga- zine and publishing industry, pro- phesied Louis Arthur Cunrning- ham, Canadian novelist, addressing the ninety delegates attending the Canadian Women's Press Club's fifth triennial convention. The few magazines Canada has now are of very high quality and the publishing hocses of the Domfnion offer the best markets for Canadi- an authors, he sald. The saying that a writer cannot make money in Canada is just as absurd as to say that a gold min- er cannot, Mr, Cunningham declar- ed. Syndicated criticism is desirable in Canada at present because there are not yet enough critics to cover the field, in the opinion of Major H. G. Christie, associated editor of the Telegrahp-Journal, Criticism, he held, must be affected by the national viewopint, but not unduly s0.

The following were appointed to the resolutions committee: Miss Winnipeg; Miss Charlotte Whit- ton, Ittawa; Miss Stella Payson, St. John; Mrs, K, L. Dawson, Hal- ifax; Miss Beryl Swail, Saskatoon, Registration committee: Mrs. H. A. Somerville, Montreal; Miss Lois Stephenson, Montreal; Mrs. A, E. Morris, Montreal; iss Agnes Swin- erton, Toronto. In the evening the members were the guests of Mayor W, W, White and the aldermen of St. John at dinner. Literary critics must be as de- tached and judicial as is hemanly possible, said Major H. G, F, Chris- tie, literary critic o fthe St. John Telegrahp-Journal, in addressing the fifth triennial meeting of the Canadian Women's Press Club yesterday. Major Christie said a critic mus first to last be scrupulously honest with himself and must be fearless. While giving due value to the form his chief concern was to investi- gate the spirit. He searched for sweetness and light, and groped for that indefinable thing, truth. His art was essentially construc- tive. His object should be to "Having formed his opinion and tested it he gives it to the world," Major Christie said. 'He gives it as his opinion with no assumption of infallbilityi 1 flatly disagree with Frederick Phillip Grove, that publication of 'his opinion is the least important of his functions I assert it is his raison d'etre. In contemporary literature he is a leader and in order to reach a position of leadership he must in- terpret by clear and precise crit- fcism." Comparing the reviewer and the critic, Major Christie thought the latter probably performs a far more appreciated esrvice for the public. Possibly the eritic is work- ing more for posterity, he added. "Anywap, the two "are different, although it may be granted that some of the more able reviewers closely approach criticism in their work when aliterary morsel comes their way," hes aid in conclusion. em ---------------- SHARKS BATTLE HUGE WHALE A fierce battle between a sixty- foot whale and two large thresher sharks was recently reported off San Juan, Porto Rico. The sharks attacked their enemy from both sides, crashing their flail-like tails into the body of the plunging gi- ant. At times the harassed whale would hurl its bulk almost entire- 1y out of the water in a vain effort to escape its assailants. After a battle of more than an hour, dur- ing which the water was whitened by the conflict, the three disap- peared still fighting. AMERICA AND CUPID WIN NURSES America and Cupid are combin- ing in playing havoc with the nurs- ing force of hospitals of Belfast, Ireland. This was one of the rea- sons given by Mrs. L. Coleman, a member of the Belfast Board of Guardians, at a recent meeting called to discuss the shortage of nurses. She said that staffs were not full because many were marry- ing and others had trained only to be able to emigrate: YOUNG GIRL HURT Toronto, June 20.--Joseph Bow- man, Crawford street, was arrest- ed late yesterday on a charge of reckless. driving. Police report his automobile knocked 'down a young girl at Harbord St. and Manning Ave. The girl's injuries were sup- erfical and she was able to go home after receiving first aid ACCIDENTS CLAIM SEVEN LIVES Storm, Auto and - Radial Traffic Take Heavy Toll » Toronto, June 20.--Ontario was visitod yesterday with a series or fatalities which claimed seven lives in the province. The dead are: ALBERT 8. HADDEN, aged 13, Toronto, struck by a trolley poie while leaning from the window of a radial car. | FREDERICK DEYNES, aged v6, Cataraqui, killed by auto. KENNETH CcCROWE, aged 4, Cataraqui, killed by auto. J. . ASHLEY, Harrowsmith farmer, burned to death when lightning struck barn. : HUGH HENDRY, motorman, St. Catharines, killed in radial crash. NORMAN EDWARDS, London, dies under freight train. MRS. FRED DEBLOTZ, St, Ca- tharines, fatally burned when bed caught fire, : There was no one source on which the responsibility for the heavy toll can be laid. Death struck in diversified form, storm, auto traffic, radial traffic and ple- nic excursion each claiming their victims, Sacrifice and heroism made its mark near Kingston when a vain attempt on the part of a road painter, to save a four-year-old child from death proved fruitless and cost Frederick Deynes, of Cata- raqui, his own life. Deynes saw the child, Kenneth McCrowe, alight from one ear in the path of an on- coming auto and regardless of his own safety, rushed forward and killed. 'Radials Crash A head-on radial collision near Merritton claimed the life of Mo- torman Hugh Hendry, of St, Cath- arines, who was erushed to death in the vestibule as the two cars met. Six passengers suffered minor injuries. | ct The severe = electrical storm which swept ths province and caused destruction of a number of cattle, claimed one human life. J. C. Ashley, a farmer near the vil- lage of Harrowsmith, in Eastern Ontario, was tying up his team in the barn after being driven from the field by the onslaught. A bolt of lightning struck one of the horses which fell on the farmer, pinning him, helpless, to the ground. The same bolt fired the barn and before a rescue could be effected the structure was a mass of flames. The body of the unior- tunate man was found later in the ruins, Fire, too, caused the death of Mrs. Fred Deblotz, of St. Cathar- ines. Mrs. Deblotz, an invalid, dropped a lighted cigarette in her bed. The bed clothing ignited and before the woman's screams brought rescue she had been so badly burned that she succumbed later in the hospital. Albert Hadden, age 13, member of St. Alban's Sunday school: pic- nic party, was struck by a passing trolley pole as he leaned from the window of a speeding radial which grabbed the youngster.
