Clean up—the yard needs it after the long winter—the city trucks will start making the rounds Monday morning and will stop once at your place. If you are not ready "with the cans and rubbish, you will have to get rid of them yourself, which is unecessary if you •will give it a little time right away. ’ Wheat and oats and beets look good and the corn will soon be on •the way. If we can have a good for tho crops and get an old fashioned liarvest, we will all he surprised at the number of problems this will settle. We have a hunch we are going to get it this year and that T 136 will be a prosperous, happy, wonderful period. * Pastor attending the Evangelical t'onference here this week will preach in various churches Sunday morning, giving hundreds the opportunity to hear these trained and efficient ministers. The past week .lias been interesting and profitable to many and the sessions will close here with the genuine feeling tluvt ft. has been wonderful for every one concerned. . Youth Week ends but that should not preVent us from continuing to (nakc life happier and better for Caeh boy and girl and to do our best to prepare them for the big game of life in which they will get busier and busier as time goes on. The better training for that job,

the more useful they will be and of course, the more they will get out of life. Every one loves a dog but that doesn't mean they like to have him destroying property or running loose. The new ordinance may seem harsh but if it wiD make every one look after his pets, perhaps in the i long run. it will prove beneficial. If you care for the pup, keep him at home. If he is permitted to run over town, he will probably get ten days in the pound. There is more than the usual amount of polities for an off year it seems. Os course much of it is manufactured by the newspaper, men but it seems to be sufficient to Indicate that next year will be about the hottest campaign year we have seen in a long time It may 4>e a tliree-ring circus, but we doubt it. The old parties will probably scrap it out with the ‘ ins" hoping to stay and the “outs” wanting i back. | Indiana hopes to be in on the i ground floor when the government 1 i starts allocating funds from the ' $4,800,000,000 work relief fund and to this end Governor McNutt has carried to Washington a list of specific projects designed to provide work for 90.000 employables now on relief rolls. The state is one of the first to set out some 1 definite projects. There is nothing i ' greedy in this. The state would | • probably obtain a fair share of the I federal money in any event, but by being ready to “shoot" when the federal funds are available will enable the slate to take full advantage of the program. The full list I of projects has not been announced. but it is known they include grade crossing elimination, flood control and sewage disposal plants. I The total list of projects call for a I cost of about $100,000,000 and while some of them may not be approved. the state hopes to get enough of them in operation to provide I about $8,000,000 a month in payI rolls from the huge fund. If this is ' brought about the cost of earing i tor the unemployables would be i cut to $1,100,000 a month which ' would be provided by the stale and local communities.—Hartford QUy News. o—*STARSIGNALS i by oCTA VIX E • ♦— ~ 1 For persons wh>> believe that human destiny is guided by the planets the daily horoscope is outlined by a; noted astrologer.

SYNOPSIS Young and beautiful Fanchon Meredith leaves San Francisco by airplane to escape arrest in connection with a murder in which her sweetheart, Tony, is implicated. She had not known that he was a gunman. Evelyn Howard, whom Fanchon had met on a voyage from Hawaii, is aboard. She is enroute to New York to live with her wealthy aunt, Mrs. Allison Carstairs, whom she has never seen. The plane crashes and all but Fanchon are killed. Grasping the opportunity to start life anew. Fanchon goes to the Carstairs home as Evelyn. Mrs. Carstairs' affection wins her heaft. At Southampton, awaiting the arrival of her son, Collin, Mrs. Carstairs warns Fanchon not to take him 'seriously. He arrives and accuses Fanchon of being there under false pretenses. Collin objects to “Evelyn.” He alludes to Evelyn’s Hawaiian escapades. CHAPTER XIV “It was clear to me why you gave my mother’s name as reference to the San Franciscan school and why your professional references did not date from the Hawaiian period. Naturally, a school which had dispensed with your services because of your conduct was not going to supply you with references! I suppose you told the people in San Francisco that your stay in the Islands had been in the nature of a visit. If you told them anything.” lai .ion’s mind was working furiously. Evidently Evelyn had left Hawaii under some sort of cloud. Evidently this Collin Carstairs had had hei looked up and had found out all about it. And. very evidently, she had given Jennie’s name as her nearest relative and had refrained from telling the people in her last position anything of her Island experiences. Now that Fanchon looked back, she recalled that on the boat during their mutual journey, Evelyn had questioned her closely concerning her knowledge of the school in which Evelyn had taught in Hawaii. and. finding that she knew nothing, had dropped the subject. “I dislike,’’ said Fanchon, coldly, “all this hinting and implying. Please endeavor to make yourself a trifle clearer, Mr. Carstairs.” He lifted an eyebrow. “Must I. dear cousin?" “I am afraid so. For," she went on. “you labor, very evidently, under a false apprehens : on.” ”1 think not,” he said smoothly. “In the first place, shortly after your arrival in Hawaii, you compromised yourself rather severely with a naval officer. A married man. “When the story broke and you were questioned, you swore in tears that you had not known Commander Gaines was married, although his story did not agree with yours. He said he had told you ... and that very distinctly. Your employers, however. gave you the benefit of the doubt, whereupon you distinguished yourself by s very indiscreet, very sentimental—flirtation, let us call it, with a native who was employed in a minor capacity about the school. “You interested yourself in his welfare, you gave him lessons in English, you entertained yourself with . . . shall we call it getting back tn nature —with Hawaiian nature? The man was young, handsome, and gifted. He was also a rather simple soul. He understood that you were willing to marry him .... When ymi refused, in righteous anger and horror, he made a scene. A scene which nearly cost you your life. When it came to the ears and eyes t»f the school directors, you were immediately persuaded to sail for San Francisco.” Fanchon was scarlet. Evelyn! Evelyn!

girl who prayed with fire and hep her way out of it. No use to protest. This man knew what be was talking about. Was, she wondered, was everybody escaping from something? She had thought herself the onlv desperate person aboard that ill-fated plane. But Evelyn, in her way, had been as desperate. "Have you,” she asked steadily, "adequate proofs of all you say?” He looked at her with something approaching admiration. She had not, he told himself, turned a hair. And her eyes, very calmly on his own. very beautiful, were not the eyes of guilt or shame. "Yes," he answered shortly, “otherwise I would not have made my accusations." “Your mother — knows?” asked Fanchon and leaned forward, curiously intent upon his answer. "Well, naturally," he answered in some astonishment. “People ... acquaintances of hers, who knew your relationship to us, and who happened to be in Hawaii, and to have heard the general scandal, wrote her. It was that which determined her to write you and ask you to make your home with us. She did so, therefore, after you had been in San Francisco a time. It took her a little while to arrange matters, to find out your address after you had left the school. Naturally, you left no forwarding address! She said . . . that you should be given your chance. 1 agreed. She, therefore, wrote you and asked you to come. But in your acceptance and in your subsequent letters you told her nothing, made no mention of the circumstances unde- which you had left Hawaii That, I confess, is what antagonized me. I was willing,” said Collin, “to overlook all that had gone before, your parents’ attitude toward my mother, and what was at the time, obviously, your ow n. Loyal to them, you were, I could understand that, for I was loyal to my mother. But this silence, this naive acceptance of everything my mother offered in, I must say, having read your letters, a most righteous and I-deservc-it-spirit—was not calculated to make me wish to receive you with friendship.” Fanchon said, slowly, not heeding him: "So she knew —all the time! “Yes, of course,” Coliin answered, impatiently. . lie was astonished to see the gir. s mouth quiver, her eyes mist over. He could not know that h er l |C * rt was going out to Jennie Carstairs tn a rush of warm, ii vicarious, gratitude. She was remembering the way in which Jennie had taken her to her heart; she was remembering the utter lack of reproach, of mention of any of this story to her. She was recalling Jennie’s embarrassed little apology for what she knew t olhn s attitude would be . . . “loyal,” she had said of him. But she had not mentioned by word, look or gesture tlie things she knew about Evelyn Howard. She had merely waited for the girl herself tc confess. The confession had not came, yet Jennie he/not changed one iota toward hei in her attitude of affection and consideration. "Well,” asked Collin, "have you anything to say—for yourself ? H» v< ’ you anything—to tell my mother in your own defense?” “Just a moment,” said Fanchon, suddenly. "Please tell me by what right you set yourself up as a judge of me? Is your own life so —perfect —that you can afford to judge and condemn me. Mr. Carstairs?’ He had the grace to flush. "No. I don’t condemn you . • what vou did ... or left undone, he said slowly, “I simply condemn your attitude of self-rightcoqsqess toward my npather. That’s all Fanchon said: "I sac. There is ne use in my trying to deny your accusations. I think
