in the midst of another session of the legislature.

He has been so invited by those most interested and we feel will be making a serious political mistake if he takes the position taken by David 11.

Free light and water to those, who cannot pay because of unemployment is a splendid act by the I city administration and one that will be sincerely appreciated by those who have been forced to give up these modern conveniences. Its another advantage of home owned utilities and every one hopes the conditions will soon change so that such actions will not be necessary. As long as they are we are glad the city can afford to furnish these necessities, protected by a limit as provided. C L. Walters has been duly appointed to serve as judge until his successor is elected to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the late Dore B. Erwin. The appointment while delayed several weeks seems to have been determined by the organizations of the Republican party several weeks ago. Congratulations to Judge Walters. He will assume his position today and will immediately dispose of the legal business which has accumt*ated the past month and arrange for opening court in September. The new judge is a native of this county. has practised law here a number of years and is well known. He has been active in politics during his life and has on several occasions been the nominee of his party for various offices. The inclination to “run" the caution light of the'automatic signal system at street intersections seems to be inherently present in every motorist. Every one is inclined to believe tha* h-* can beat the warning. Occasionally a motorist is driving so fast that he conc'udes that it is wiser to take a chance on going through the intersection of the caution signal than to apply the brakes and stop in the middle of the crossing. Np matter what are the conditions under which he tries to cross the intersection on the caution light, he is incurring the risk of crashing into a motorist. The signal is intended to be a warning to motorists waiting to take tlie crossing and to those who are proceeding on the green signal. Stopping at the automatic signals and at signs fastened to the street pavement should be observed by every motorist. It is a precaution that will add to the safety of traffic. The sole purpose of traffic regulations is to safeguard our lives. Voluntary compliance is much better than one that has to be enforced by the police department. — Richmond Pal- . adium.

SYNOPSIS Lift to lovely Patricia Braithwait »>- - series of parties, trips abroad and now—Palm Beach. Her castles crumble when her Aunt Pamela informs her that Mr. Braithwait a fortune is depleted and suggests that Pat marry the wealthy, middleaged Harvey Blaine to insure her own and her father's future, warning her that love fades. Aunt Pam's marriage with Jimmie M arren handsome, young lawyer—was beginning to pall in spite of the ardent love they had had for each other. Stunned by her aunt’s revelations. Pat is seriously considering Blaine to save the fat he r she adores, when she meets a fascinating young camper, who only reveals his first name. Jack. Despite their instant attraction for one another. Pat discourages future meetings. Later, Pam cautions Blaine to be matter-of-fact and not sentimental in trying to win Pat. stressing the point that his one advantage is the fact that Pat is desperately hard up and worships her father, who lives for Pat alone. His financial predicament is largely due to the gradual caving in of his plantation. Pat accepts Blaine’s proposal. That night, she longs for Jack and hopes he will come to see her. While dancing with Pat. Jimmie voices his disapproval of Blaine. She lifts a stricken, pleading face to his and. all at once, a new and disturbing mutual attraction grips them. After midnight. Pat makes a fruitless search of the beach for Jack. In the deep recesses of her heart, she had hoped that he would somehow rescue her from Blaine. Jimmie finds her. sobbing, and, against his better judgment, takes her in his arms and confesses his love for her. Hungry for love and protection. Pat submits to Jimmie’s kisses—but even then. Jack steals into her thoughts. Jimmie insists that she break her engagement. CHAPTER TWELVE And throughout his struggle with himself ran the thought of Pamela. He did not feel conscience-stricken concerning her. On the contrary, he was convinced that he would do her no wrong in taking into his life the love she no longer gave him. No bitterness, no sense of personal injury touched his thought of her. Pam was as she was—a marvelously lovely woman if a man could hold her. He had not held her. It was not her fault; nor his, so far as he could see. He had been faithful, indulgent, considerate, as far as lay in his power. Her love had nevertheless come to an end. And his There was the confusing thing— Had his come to an end? He could not say. The years with her had brought him a high altitude of happiness such as perhaps no other woman could have given him. The memory of those years was a burning sweetness which he felt he could never lose. The moments and hours and years with Pamela were engraven on his heart, enshrined there. • • • By morning he had devised a scheme whereby he could relieve Pat’s financial situation without humiliating her proud father or arousing his suspicions. Immediately after breakfast he sought out the old man and laid the proposition before him. “Mr. Braithwait," he said, “I’ve been doing some thinking about Patricia. Pamela tells me she had a decided talent for drawing. In fact, I’ve seen some of her sketches and I've come to the conclusion that she could be developed into a first class commercial artist. This field doesn’t require the years of study that must be devoted to achievement in portraiture or landscape painting. Don't you think it would be a fine thing to give her a year or two, or three perhaps, of study

under good instructors and develop a future for her?" "There’s no doubt that she has a fine eye for form and a rather bold technique as well as delicacy, mused the old man. “Yes, undoubtedly she has talent.” “From what you told me the other evening, I realized that the financial question is troublesome, and I was thinking that I could finance her ” Mr. Braithwait made a gesture of protest, and Warren hastened on, “The money to be a loan, of course, and paid back when she has arrived. It is by no means unusual for people with means to finance a promising young artist. Pam, as well as I, would like to be instrumental in helping a talented young girl, aside from relationship, to an independent future. We have more than we can possibly use. We have no children, and would be glad to finance Pat without obligation; but I realize that neither you nor she would consider that. However, as a loan against her future, only a bigoted pride could prompt a refusal,” he smiled. “The biggest men in the country at one time or another have needed loans and oftentimes obtained them not on marketable security; but on promising prospects. What do you say?” He talked rapidly, assembling his a-gument to cover every point before the old man could frame a refusal. “Why, Warren, you have given me an idea that wants thinking over. I appreciate your offer deeply. You're a fine fellow and a good friend. I feel honored to have such a man in my family.” Warren flushed. “Nonsense, Mr. Braithwait. It's been done hundreds, perhaps thousands of times by others.” “I’ve no doubt of it. But if you’ll pardon me I’d like to weigh the matter in my mind. It’s curious that this most obvious way of securing my daughter’s future had never occurred to me. I suppose it’s because no woman in our family was ever an earner. If our women had talents they were looked upon as accomplishments. I never thought of Patricia’s talent in any other way.” “But this is a new age,” put in Warren, fearing the obstacle of old fashioned ideas. “Women with talent want careers these days. Even society women of ample means often go out to make names for themselves. The old idea of a woman marrying to protect herself economically without doubt led many women into loveless marriages. Nowadays, a woman doesn’t have to marry to secure her future. She goes out and does it herself, and marries or not as she chooses.” “Quite right. I assure you I am highly in favor of it. Indeed, I’d much rather see my daughter launched independently than have her marry half-heartedly. But of course I must talk all this over with Patricia ” “Naturally. But I think she will jump at it. I heard her say when you were at our place last summer that she’d like to study art but that you'd probably not approve.” Mr. Braithwait rose. “Thank you, Warren, I’ll speak with you again in the course of the day about this matter.” Warren was elated. He felt that he had hit upon the one way that would not humble the old man; and, also, though he could refuse a loan made to himself, which he knew could not be repaid, he could not refuse a loan to his daughter which she could repay and which meant a chance for her future. He went to find Pat to prepare her for her father’s conference. But the morning passed and he had no opportunity to speak with her. Onee or twice he tried to get her attention by calling or whistling; but she seemed never to see or hear him. Harvey Blaine, meanwhile, had shown Pamela a letter which read:

"Dear Mr. Blaine: I’m sorry, but 1 can t marry you. I thought 1 should and could, but I see 1 can’t- Perhaps Aunt Pam will explain my seeming fickleness. I’d rather not taik with you about it since I couldn t explain without wounding you. Please forgive me. Sincerely. Patricia Braithwait.” Pamela told the angry man that Patricia had accepted him on her advice, and rejected him without consulting her. She knew nothing more. Presently she found her husband wandering about the hotel grounds. He greeted her with forced lightness. Mr. Braithwait, looking distrait and troubled, came down the steps and crossed to them. “Let’s have a cup of tea before the crowd gathers,” Pamela suggested. They found the pavilion in order for afternoon tea, but empty except for the waiters wiio wan dered idly about. The crowd would not begin to gather till the musicians appeared. “Fine,” cried Pamela. “We have it all to ourselves.” “Warren,” said Mr. Braithwait as soon as their order had been taken, “I spoke to Patricia about the matter you mentioned, and it’s all settled.” Warren smiled noncommittally, not knowing what “all settled’’ might mean. Pamela looked inquiring. Warren explained his suggestion and offer of that morning in some haste. He had had no idea of keeping the matter secret from Pamela: but it embarrassed him to have it come out in this way before he had had a chance to speak to her. Moreover, he disliked the idea that Mr. Braithwait should know the suggestion had come from him, without his wife's knowledge. Conscious guilt gave him an < awareness of guilty appearance. Byway of explanation to Pamela for having left her out of these plans for her relative, he added, “The idea came to me last night after you’d retired, Pam. I'd been thinking about this abominable engagement of hers, and ” “Engagement? What engagement?” asked Mr. Braithwait. “Why, to Blaine.” “Is she engaged to Blaine?” “Not now. She broke it off last night.” The words were out before Warren realized the extent of their information. And he now committed the final folly of the guilty man who, in his anxiety, adds a word too much; then lies to cover the boles left by that explanation. “I happened to run into her on the veranda last night just after she’d had a talk with Blaine and had broken her engagement.” The waiter set the tea and hot water before them, uncovered a stack of cinnamon toast, removed the lid from the sugar bowl and pushed a plate of sliced lemon toward Pamela. She poured the tea, put two lumps in Warren’s cup and a slice of lemon; one lump and cream for Mr. Braithwait. Her beautiful hands were quite steady as she passed the cups. She made a little rite of preparing her own tea. Tasted it and set it down, her heart pounding in heavy sickening throbs. Jimmie had lied. Jimmie, on whose truth she would have staked her life. For, not until this morning had Blaine been apprised of the broken engagement. It was possible that Jimmie had seen Patricia thia morning and that she had told him; but, if so, why had he said he ran into her last night after she’d had a talk with Blaine breaking her engagement? A man lies, she reflected, only when there is something to conceal. And what was there about his generosity to her relatives that called for deceit or lies?
