CHAPTER XXIX Walter made the run from the , farin in South Bound Brook to New v Yors in an hour and twenty minutes—in record time. Ho stopped 1 at a booth to phone hia mother, but 1 he couldn't get the number. Nor did a any of the others’ phones answer, j Not wishing to waste more time, he ■ decided he’d drive un to his moth- t er’s house. He called his own numI her just to tell Helen he’d reached I I New York safely. He got Marie, s “Mrs. Riley went to the hospital about twenty minutes ago,” she re- j ported excitedly. “She got the pains." t “What!" i “You know, the pains that hap- « pens before the baby is born. Any- < now, Anton ain’t back yet. He I drove them to the hospital.” Wai- ‘ ter groaned. Should he dash back t to Bound Brook or go to Stella’s > first. Lord I He'd come all this way < —better see Stella and then rusn I back. He wasted ten precious minutes 1 while Information got him the ! Bound Brook Hospital. At first * they said no one by the name had ! been admitted. After a dreadful ‘ five minutes he succeeded in getting 1 Dr. Johnson. “Mrs. Riley is in the delivery ( room,” he said. “She’s not in any great pain but it’s best to be here ( as long as the pains have come on.” , “How long will it take, Doctor? I’m in New York but I can start ; back in a few minutes.” “I can’t say but I don’t believe ( she’ll deliver before tomorrow , morning, I imagine. She's got a long way to go yet.” “Is she in pain?” Walter cried, his voice breaking. i “No more than is to be expected,” , the doctor said cautiously. Walter could have choked him. - "Listen,” he croaked, “tell her I called. I’ll be there within two hours.” “Very well, I’ll tell her.” Walter drove uptown like a maniac. In the apartment was chaos. They were all in the living room talking loudly. “Where is she?” he gasped hoarsely as he rushed in. “In my bed, the damn fool,” Anastasia said, “screaming herself hoarse.” Irene cried: “Thank the Lord you came. I’m at my wits’ end. She gave us an awful scare. Luckily she got only a whiff of the gas before we smelt it out here.” Walter was at her bedside. For a second he couldn’t believe it was she, this swollen, disheveled woman who lay there moaning and sobbing. Was this Stella? The superbly groomed Stella? “She hasn’t stopped screeching yet,” Anastasia said. “She’s had two shots in the arm just now from the doctor. He just left.” They all stood about as Walter stepped over to her. He grasped her shoulder between his strong fingers and shook her. "What the devil's the matter with you?” he demanded roughly. “Oh, Walter,” she sobbed. "I loved him so. I did so much for him and then he runs off with another woman. A common ordinary rat! Oh, Walter, I want to die. I want to die!” He was ashamed at his rough“It's a damn shame, Stell, but making yourself sick won’t help. You gave me the scare of my life. What’s the idea of messing around with gas?” “I want to die,” she moaned. “I can’t face it alone. I want to die.’ Her voice became fainter. Her t'-clids drooped. She was beginning to feel the effects of the morphine. “I want to die,” she babbl"d. Her mouth hung open, her breath came in little bubbles. Presently she stopped moaning and she sank into a heavy breathing sleep that was more like a stupor. one death and immediately after sentence was pronounced first Assistant State’s Attorney Wilbur T. Crowley asked to proceed with nine other indictments against the nieii. Judge David ruled tentatively that the men could not be tried again but set Nov. 12 as the date for hearing the state’s motion.

"She’ll be all right whan ahe wakea up,” Ethel said, her eyes wet with tears. "She gave us a frightful scare,” Irene said as they returned to the living room. “I was horribly upset.” She took her vanity out of her purse and powdered her nose. “She’ll be all right when she gets up. She was awfully hysterical.” “I still maintain that gas pipe business was for effect,” Agnes insisted. “How can you be so heartless, Agnes!” Dirk said: “The poor kid certainly had enough provocation. It isn’t the easiest situation to face alone; a baby, and your husband off with another woman.” Walter turned savagely to Agnes. “What did you call me up for? I thought she was dying. I left Helen and she's in the hospital,” he choked. “I'm going back. Goodbye.” “Walter, Walter, have a glass of brandy. You’re ghastly. Helen’s al! right Those things take hours and hours. You’ll be back before she delivers. Why shouldn’t I have called you? Do we have to bear all the trouble? You’re as much to her as we are,” Agnes argued impatiently. “Besides, you’re the only one she listens to.” Walter's face twitched. “In agony for hours and hours and me here!” Suddenly his face broke. “You might have spared me coming here,” he croaked. “You’re a bunch of hysterical females. I thought she had killed herself and I left Helen suffering.” “You seem rather sorry that she didn’t,” Irene snapped. “Ah,” he made an impatient gesture and slammed out of the apartment. “The nerve of him,” gasped Irene. "Comes in, bawls out poor Stella and Agnes and then rushes off I” “You don’t seem to realize that he left his ill wife to come here,” Dirk reproved sternly. Irene flushed. “I didn’t call for him, dear. Don’t scold me. But after all, if she had succeeded in her suicide, he’d have had to come.” “Os all the rotten, unnecessary, stupid acts that have ever been inflicted on anyone, I think the most despicable one was calling him here at this time of night with Helen in childbirth.” Agnes went deadly pale She didn’t dare answer him back because he was the one man she respected, “He didn’t have to come,” Irene countered. The others were silent, too abashed to speak. “No, the more fool he. But Agnes managed to tell it to him in such away that she knew would bring him here.” “You’re unkind, Dirk,” Irene said. “I swear I called him in a moment of panic,” Agnes babbled. “I hopestly forgot all about Helen, poar kid. I know what an influence he has over Stella and I thought he could probably help her where no one else could.” Dirk’s lips were pressed into a fine line. “If you could think about others as sympathetically as you do about yourselves, you’d all be a damn sight easier to live with.” He turned on his heel and left the room. Irene hesitated, then shrugged. “Well, you brought it on yourself, Agnes, I always said you were a fool! Lord, I’m tired. I’m no match fur situations like this—not in my condition. Don’t worry, mama, Stella will be all right. Too bad you have to give up your bed. Good night, you all.” Anastasia grunted. “I’ll sleep m Walter’s bed.” Agnes, who was crying into her handkerchief, laid her head against Carl’s breast. “I only thought I was acting for the best,” she sobbed. “Don’t cry, darling, I know you did. It was wrong to Walter down, but I’m sure you meant well. White Stockings of the National league. He played with Pittsburgh and Philadelphia National league i clubs before his conversion at the I Chicago Pacific Garden Mission in 1886. Billy's first religious work was as a Y. M. C. A. secretary in Chicago, but in 1893 became assistant to Dr. Wilbur J. Chapman, an evangelist. Three years later he struck out on his own and conducted his first revival in a small lowa town. His arm-swinging, spectacular style brought him quick fame and soon he was pacKiig thousands into revival tents in all parts of the country. He often stripped off his coat and vest and rolled up his sleeves when he came to grips with “booze and the devil.” Thousands of dollars poured into his “war chest” to fight “the devil.” He used it all, he said, to “bring souls to salvation.” As the years went on, his showmanship developed and he could not fill all the demands on his time. During the war he turned Gown an offer from British officials and business men to bring his choir and complete organization to Eng land to campaign against liquor in the interest of the allied cause. He did combine his revival meetings with war work when the United States entered the war, campaigning against the devil and for patriotism alike. During the past few years illness had cut down his program although at the time of his death he was negotiating to conduct a two weeks’ meeting in a Washington, D. C-, church. He also had planned to preach in Miami, Fla., next February. He preached his last sermon only a week ago Sunday at Mishawaka, Ind., near his home at Winona Lake, Ind. More than 20 converts came to the altar, “Ma”

Come, stop sobbing, you’ll make yourself sick, too. Come on, sweetheart, you’re getting all upset. Let’s forget the whole tragic business and tomorrow everything will look much brighter.” He led her from the room. Anastasia, lying in Walter’s bed, now a guest room, heard Carl reading poetry aloud to Agnes to soothe her. Her lip curled contemptuously in the darkness. ♦» ♦ » Walter got to the hospital at midnight, just twenty minutes after Helen had been delivered of a sevenpound baby girl. “She had an amazingly quick delivery,” Miss Frederick said enthusiastically. “Remarkable for a first baby,” the doctor added as he shook hands with Walter. “You can see the baby but your wife’s asleep.” “Did she suffer much?” Walter asked desperately. "No, no more than is to be expected. ... You’ve a splendid baby, old man. I congratulate you.” “Can’t I see my wife?” Walter pleaded. “He can go in, nurse. She’ll hardly wake up, I think.” Walter stood over Helen. She slept heavily, her hands pressed tightly over her stomach. Her fair hair was combed back from her broad forehead. Her face was wan and looked as small as a child’s. The odor of ether hung over her. Her breath came in short gasps. Walter knelt down beside her, his head in the covers. The nurse tiptoed out. “Helen,” he whispered, "when you needed me most, I wasn’t here. Helen, will you ever forgive me?” He looked up at her. Her nostrils were white and pinched. “Alone,” he whispered. “You had our baby alone, without even a word from me to help you.” His eyes were hot and bitter and suddenly - he was sobbing. Helen’s breathing had grown . deeper, less gaping. He knelt beside her until the cold March dawn i crept into the room. At daybreak ■ the nurse- peered in. “Still sleeping?” She formed the ' words with her lips. Walter nodded. Miss Fredericks i smiled brightly and tiptoed back to ' her own napping outside in the hall. At 6 o’clock a clatter outside , awakened Helen. She opened her ’ eyes slowly. She seemed not to . know where she was. Then she saw him. , “Welter,” she whispered, “is Stella all right?” ' "Oh, darling,” he cried, “she’s all . right. I got back at midnight. I 1 am sick with my own stupidity. I How could I have left you! Darling, I didn’t think you’d be stricken so , soon. Stella’s all right. Neurotie, hysterical. They’re all neurotic, . hysterical, damn them! Oh, my [ darling, all alone! Will you forgive me?” > “It’s all right,” Helen whispered, t “I know how it is." > Her eyes were swimming with tears. They flowed out of the cori ner of her eyes and down her cheeks. “Helen, my darling, don’t cry. 3 I love you so! Believe me, I love t you. Don’t cry, my blessed one. I’ll i never leave you again.” He gath--1 ered her into his arms and pressed her to him. She seemed so frail . and small now. , The nurse came in. “Oh, come, t come, you’ll have to go now, Mr. i Riley. You mustn’t cry, dear. You r have a lovely baby. Your husband , had been here all night, kneeling 1 by your bedside. It was too touch--1 ing for words. He was only five minutes too late to see you. Come, i come, that’s no way for the lovely little mother of a lovely little baby r girl to act.” t Walter went blindly out of the I room, his last glimpse of Helen was I- of her sobbing weakly. i (To Be Continued) r Conyrlsbl. 1934. by Julian Mannar.

organization, is comforting to Democratic leaders who need the border states if Mr. Roosevelt Is to be re-elected. Chandler made the new deal an Issue in his campaign. The indicated antl-bone dry blue grass vote may rock the new-born national prohibition movement to its heels. Kentucky is a famous whiskey state. But 104 of its 120 counties might properly be classed a.s dry and If a ground swell by revulsion against repeal conditions were rising over the nation, Kentucky would feel it as soon as any state, and might be expected to register its protest at the polls. A dry vote in Kentucky would give prohibitionists new vigor from coast to coast and defeat would be proportionately disheartening. In New York State and Philar delphia the Democratic drive fell short of the high point of a year ago. This time the Democrats lost control of the New York lower legislative house and in Philadelphia a Republican was elected mayor by a margin of more thazi 47,000 votes, Philadelphia majorities for Republican mayors have gone Into the hundreds of thousands of votes in times past before depression hit the G. O. P. Measured by those old-time standards the scant margin of Republican victory reflected a slump of terrifying proportions. But a. year ago Gov. George N. Eagle, Democrat, was short only some 4.000 votes of carrying Philadelphia which has not gone Democratic in the memory of a majority of those of its residents, j

Republican jubilation over winning the New York assembly should be tempered by examinatlon of the details of the vote. New York gave Democratic c*ntll-i dates a collective 59 per cent of votes cast for the assembly. There was a tendency upstate to return to Republican moorings bnt It Is a fact that Mr. Roosevelt is personally popular in the upstate Republican country and may outdraw candidates for lesser office when he rnns next year. In any event, New York voted Democratic Tuesday. 0 HIGHWAY HEAD CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE year. Coap-eratiuu of state (police was pledged by Donad F.
