TRAPEZE STAR 76 YEARS OLD j — 76-Year-Old Trapeze Artist Is Feature of Russell Circus The ever alluring circus will exhibit in Decatur Wednesday May j 31 Russel Bros. Three Ri’ g Circus | ; is new in this particular section! but it is well known in other parts I of th- state. It has been establish-, ed six years and apparently has ; more than made good. There is something about the cir-. cus that appeals to all classes and conditions of people. Just as base-' hall is the national game so is the j circus Lite national amusement of; this country. Most every country i on the globe has its form of circus j entertainment, but in no country j is there the magnitude nor the! variety in the circus that there is in this country. The Russel Bros., are modest , in their claims but apparently | truthful. They do not profess to • have the largest in the world, but ; they do claim to present a strictly | moral, high class and pleasing show. They require three rings and a hippodrome track for wnich pro-, ductior, and have much more going 011 at o|ie time than it is possible I for a person to see. Among the scores of features and I surprises offered by Russell's, I there is one more star who boasts : of his age. Generally th > public acclaims the youth, but in tuis case the performer is seventy-six years ' of age a d has been a circus per-! former for more than fifty-years— j yet today he performs as difficult! feats of contortion, both on the 1 ground and on the trapeze, as a i young person could perform. Light 1 living, correct temp rate habits and i out-door life ar the reasons assign-1 ed by Daddy Whitlock for his un-• usual phsical condition after he has passed the three score years j and ten age. Free tickets will he distributed | by Decatur merchants beginning: next S .(unlay: The public is invited to ask for them at the stores. o Get the Habit — Trade at Home I

'MARY FAITH" I I Burton . COPYRIGHT. 1931, BY KIHG FEATURES SYHBICATB, UTC.

CHAPTER XLIV “Just a second, Mr. Ncsbit," she said and lifted the receiver to her ear. “Mr. Nesbit's secretary spfrakj ing." "Mary Faith? This you?” It was Kirn's mother’s voice, and at the ' sound of it Mary Faith started violently. She had not heard from her in several months. "Yes. Mother Farrell." She forgot, j in her surprise, that Kim's mother was no longer Mother Farrell but "Mrs. Thatcher,” as she called hcr- ■ self. "Doctor and I wondered whether you could stop in here when you leave youi office tonight." she was saying. "We wanted to talk to you about Kimberley. He's here with us. He's been very ill, you know." “No. I didn’t know it.” Mary Faith sat Jown in her chair. “What s been wrong with him?” “Pneumonia.” Pneumonia! And they had never let her know! “He’s much better now, of course,” the smooth soft voice at the other end of the wire ran on, and Mary Faith seemed to be listening to it with every fiber of her body. “Much better. And Doctor and 1 don't like to bother you at this time. But certain things have come up in the last day or two, and we feel that we can't settle them without your help.” Oh, what did the woman mean? Why didn't she say plainly and clearly what was wrong instead of talking about certain things that had come up. . . . Mary Faith couldn't imagine what those certain things could be. “I’ll be right out,” she said and hung up the receiver for a second. Then she took it down again and began to rattle the hook up and down to attract Miss Gilday's attention in the outer office. “Will you please call a taxi for me right away. Miss Kelly?" she asked when Miss Kelly answered i her. Then she looked up at Mark Nesbit once more. “My husband has been sick—terribly sick—with pneumonia,” she said to him in a voice that was a wailing cry. “And they've never let me know—his people! Not until just \ now.” She began to put the papers and pencils on her desk into a drawer and to pull the dust cover over her , typewriter, while Mark Nesbit stood and watched her, his hands stuck in his pockets and his lips pursed up as if he were Irying to whistle. “I'm going out to him. Do you mind?" she asked, slamming the drawer and turning the key in its ; lock. “Os course not. I'll go downstairs with you and wait until the cab comes,” Mark Ncsbit said quietly. He held the door open while she took down her wraps from the coattree in the corner and put them on. The people in the outer office Jookcd up cuiiously as the two ot them came out of the little room and started down the stairs that led to the first floor. Mary Faith barely saw them. No one truly existed for her at that moment but Kim. Her thoughts flew ahead of her to Dr. Thatcher’s tall old-fashioned house in Bleekcr Street, where Kim lay ill. “I could have driven you out in my car," she heard Mark Ncsbit say to her, but it was a minute or two before his words carried any message to her brain. “The taxi's all right," she said then, and as she spoke she saw it drive up Jjefore the building and heard the scream of its brakes as the driver jammed them on. “But •hatfcs —you're very good." At the door ot the taxicab she spoke to him again. "You don't know how sorry 1 am about—all this. Mr. Nesbit I've told you before that you re the kindest person I've over known Only, you sec " “1 see. 1 see, Mary Faith," he »aid

to her and helped her into the cab. Through the frosty glass of the window she saw him smile and nod his head as the car rolled past him. And when it turned the corner a minute later he was still standing on the snowy curb looking after it. • • • Kim lay in a big carved walnut bed in a big high-ceilinged bedroom in Dr. Thatcher’s house. His fingers were locked across the top of his broad chest, and his gray eyes, a bit sunken but brilliant as always, went from Mary Faith who sat beside his bed to his mother who stood at the foot of it Mrs. Dr. Thatcher, in a housedress made of elephant’s breath gray voile, was doing most of the talking. She had spent twenty minutes telling Mary Faith how she had been taking care of Kim for the past three weeks, and now she was explaining just why she had sent for her. “Doctor had Kimberley’s chest Xrayed about six weeks ago—just a while before he came down with this pneumonia,” she said solemnly and impressively. As Mrs. Dr. Thatcher she tried to be much more impressive than she had ever tried to be during the days of her widowhood and grass-widowhood. "And Doctor wasn’t very happ> about his health then. But now that he’s been so ill he’s downright uneasy about him. with the cold weather coming on and all, don’t you know? He’s just afraid of what might happen if Kimberley stayed here. He might develop into a regular invalid—or even worse things could happen." Mary Faith's big frightened eyes widened. "Doctor thinks—in fact. Doctor says that he's v got to get right out of this climate right away." Kim's mother continued. “He thinks he'd better go to New Mexico or Arizona —one of those dry climates. A winter there will put him into fine shape, he says. He's sure of that. Only you see, Mary Faith, we just don't know how to manage iL Kimberley’s not well enough to work, and we aren’t rich enough to pay his bills out there and provide a nurse for him too . . . and he’ll have to have one for a iittie while. We thought perhaps you could find something to do out there—something to earn a little money." She gazed at Mary Faith questioningly and then remarked, “I'd go with him, but 1 don't see how I can leave Doctor for so many months. Ella said she'd go but you know she hasn't any money.... We can scrape together the railroad fare for two people, but that's ail we can do, Doctor and I." She turned and lumbered toward the door, bumping against the marble-topped table in the center of the room as she went. “I'll let you two talk it over," she said, and closed the door very slowly as if she meant to make as little noise as possible. Kim raised his head a trifle and watched it swing shut, a frown between his eyes. “Sh%s taken awfully good care of me, but she makes me so doggone nervous I” he said irritably. “You know—she’s all over the place at once. And she drops things and makes more noise than a mule on a tin roof." “Kim. she’s your mother and she loves the very air you breathe," sard Mary Faith “You shouldn't talk about her She can't help making noise. She’s a large person and she's not as young as she once was.” He moved his shoulders impatiently against the pillows. “Nobody loves the very air 1 breathe. Nobody but you." he said drily. “You notice she’s not going out wesi with me. don't vou 5 She’s staying tight here with Doc. And you're elected for the job." “You know how willing I am to take it Kim But how about you? How do you feel about going out west with me?" “If ■ didn*' fee' all right about it j

do you suppose I u Have let them send for you today?” He grinned up at her suddenly. His quick flashing grin that instantly made him look his reckless debonair self. “You are still worrying about Claire Maldonr” he asked. “If you are you can cut it out. 1 haven't seen her for a couple of months. 1 haven't even thought of her—very often. They refused her a divorce here and she's gone out to Reno to try to get one there." He got up on one elbow. “You know what I've been thinking of the last week while I've been lying here, Mary Faith? — Remember those snapshots that Jean Bartlett sent your The pictures of those mountains out in Arizona with all the fields lying along the base of them —and the pepper trees and the acres and acres of vegetable gardens?— Well, I’ve been thinking it must be a pretty grand place to live in. I'm sick of soot and smoke and office buildings, Mary Faith. Maybe if we go out there 1 can get a job after a while, and we won’t want to come back here ” And then Mary Faith was on her knees beside him, with her arms tight around him and her tears warm against his cheek. "Kim, 1 just knew you’d want me back again sometime—like this." she said huskily. “1 told you six months ago that you would, didn't If And you thought 1 was wrong, but I was right, wasn't I?” “Sure, you've been right about everything, and I've been wrong. I've wondered a thousand times, lying here, how you could have taken me back so many times after i’d left you and stayed away from Jou for months at a crack. . . . Gosh, there s not another woman in the world who'd do iL Mary Faith.” “Oh, yes, there are. There are millions of women just like "me, Kim. She pressed him down upon his pillows and smoothed his hair back from his forehead. “Don't you suppose there are other husbands who get tired of their wives every now and then, and tired of all their responsibilities? And don't you suppose their wives take them back? Os course, they do.” She laughed a little shakily. “And you’ll probably get sick and tired of me again, Kim. But it won't terrify me the way it used to. I'll just wait for you to come to your senses . . . 1 11 know that sooner or later everything will be all right again, just as it is now " For her everything was all right then. Without any work in sight or any way of earning money, without any real plans for the future, with nothing but the promise of two hundred dollars' railroad fare for herself and Kim and the baby, she still knew that everything would be all right She would make things come right somehow or other. . . . “Kim." she said, "1 think I’ll run downstairs and telephone a wire to Jean Bartlett to tell her that we re coming out to Phoenix. She's been wanting me to come out—and she'll probably be glad to take us in untd we find a place of our own.” Mrs. Puckett too. Mrs. Puckett would probably lend them some money and they would surely be able to pay it back after a while. . . . Mary Faith felt power and hope stirring within her a« she braced herself for the long struggle ahead. She got up from the floor and walked across the room on her way downstairs to the telephone. At the door she turned for a minute and glanced hark at Kim who lay watching her with a look of utter contentment on his face “ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down,' Kim.” she said to him. "That was a 'ong time ago—but it's still happening every day." And she closed the door and went away while he wondered just what Mary Faith had meant by that. THE END
