'It takes Red a whole day to pick up the pieces and make up the form again. If I wanted the paper to come out on Saturday, it would read that way instead of hav- ing Friday on the masthead!' He stopped for breath. "If you could once get your mind off play-acting you might be of some value here. But get this and get it straight; if you pi a form again tonight, you're through!" With that final warning the Old Man put on his shapeless hat and left. Speedy walked over to the lino- type. He stroked his chin thought- fully and squinted his azure eyes at Red, "If you pi a form tonight, it will be the third consecutive week you've done it." He took his hand from his chin and shook a menac- ing forefinger. '"'Get this and get it straight; if you pi a form again to- night, you're through!"' Red grinned. "You left out some of it, didn't you, Barrymore?" Speedy laughed. "The Old Man still grousing about Walters?"' "Yeah," Red answered. "Page one, column one. He'll land in jail, printing such stuff.

The Old Man swore as _ he "epeedy stumbled through the darkness to the telephone. '"'Yes ... " he said. He heard a throat being cleared and then: "If that rag of yours comes out this morning with another of your editorials, I'll sue!" A cough, and another clearing of the throat. "It's libel, and you know it--you won't have a chance! And when I get through with you, you won't have anything at all!' The cough was more violent this time and the throat clearing more pro- longed. "Remember what I've told you!'"'? Then came a_ veritable spasm. The Old Man hung up. He broke into a cold sweat. "I'll have to go down there,' he told himself. "'Speedy'll never hear a phone if that cylinder press is running."? He shook as he hurried into his clothes. "Got to stop it,' he kept mutter- ing. "Can't let it go out.'? A few minutes later he was at the shop. "Speedy!'"' he bawled. "Speedy, stop the press!" But the press wasn't running. Speedy was looking at him, a queer expression in his blue eyes. "I for- got to lock the forms on again, sir,' he confessed. The Old Man blinked, Then he sighed and a grin spread over his face. "Oh, well," he said, "it isn't the first time. I'll call Red.

A SNAKE-IN-THE-GRASS Dear Ina St. John: When I was 13 I met a chap, and after going with him for three years I became very much in love with him. - When I was 16 he went overseas and I left my home to work in another town ,where I met a man five years older than myself. We went together three months, and when he asked me to marry him I accepted because I hadn't heard from Don, that is, the boy overseas for six months. I knew the day I was married that I was still in love with Don. However, I didn't know how to back out. It's been two years since that day and I have a love- ly baby boy. My husband is overseas now and Don has come home, We find we are still very much in love with each other. My husband knows this, but if he ever consented to give me my freedom he said I couldn't have the baby. I love and want him very much, but I also love and want Don. What shall I do? Can you ad- Sincerely, VIVIAN W. Answer: You will not like our an- swer, Vivian. First of all, any man who makes love to a young mother while her husband is overseas fighting to keep her and his child safe and happy is a snake-in-the-grass. The first man in your life had his chance. Where was he during the six months that you had no word from him? Probably he was enjoying the com- pany of another girl. You would not be happy without your child, Vivian. Your duty is to your child and to your husband. In time you will for- ~ get the first man and be happy. INA ST. JOHN. WHEN HE COMES HOME Dear Miss St. John: While my husband has been over- seas I have had a good time. I have not worn my wedding ring. I live with | a sister. She keeps my little girl. Most people think she belongs to Sis. You see my folks live in another place. Well, now he's on his way home, I'm sort,of glad I won't have to work any more. Don't you think I'll be just as happy as the girls who stayed home nights and wore their rings? We jwon"t live here. JANE. Answer: Well, Jane, when people dance they must pay the piper; so goes the old saying, and it's still true. No matter how happy you are, when your husband returns there will al- ways be fear in your heart--fear and dread that he may hear of your "good times" when he was away fighting for you will cloud your happiness. A generation ago if a person moved a hundred miles from the old home no one knew anything about one. Now a thousand miles from the home town it is not surprising to see a fa- miliar face. No, my dear, you cannot expect to be as happy as the women who were absolutely true to their soldier hus- bands. Perhaps it would be best for you to tell him all about it and be done with it. INA ST. JOHN. MARRIED TWO YEARS Dear Miss St. Johr: We have been married two years next month. I see the second year is skipped on my list. Isn't there any special kind of gift for a second an- niversary?
