The members iof the class, nearly all of whom I have employment to go to uipon i their graduation, received their di- ' plomas from President E. C. Elliott ' and heard Governor M. Clifford Townsend point out their obligai tions to the state and society in I general in his civic charge to th3 I group. It was the first time that Commencement exercises have been

held on Sunday at Purdue but was planned tor that date in order to perm! t many parents and friends to attend, who could not during the week. The Adame county graduates were as follows: Weldon L. Soldner, Herne, Science; Thomas Edwin Kraner, Jr., Geneva, Mechanical Engflnoeging; Yake L. Glendening, Geneva, physical education. o Tornado Damages Indiana Village Mellott, Ind., June 14—(UP) —At least 115 persons wear recovering today from 'lnjuriee sustained late yesterday when a tornado swept through thia small rural community of 312 persons, causing unestimated damage. zFour of the Injured were rushed immediately to a hospital at Danville, 111. They were Mr. and Mrs. Will Parkerson and their two daughters, Wlhna and Catherine, who were buried under the wreckage, of their home southwest of, here. Physicians and nurses were call-' ed from surrounding towns to treat others less seriously 'lnjured- Roads t were blockaded in three directions

CHAPTER XXVIII Graduation exercises took place at the school during the week following the accident. Neither Millie nor Larry were present to represent the Junior Class. Millie was still in the hospital and after she returned home her parents were sending her downstate to visit relatives for the rest of tho summer. Larry’s mother was taking him abroad at once. The tutoring ceased and Rose received her check for the final lessons and a pleasant word or two from Mrs. Dexter. Mrs. Dexter hoped very much that when Larry, fully recovered from his harrowing experience (“poor, brave boy, he refuses to talk about it”) returned to Riverport in the autumn to enter the Senior Class, there would be no further need of her services. Rose showed the letter to Jonathan. She said, “That’s that. And I’m glad. I—l couldn’t sit across a table from him again and look at him and remember. I don’t know when I’ve disliked anyone quite as much I And he dislikes me too, now,” she added thoughtfully. “He's , avoided me ever since we set foot on shore that day. ... As for tutor- ‘ ing—” she shrugged and smiled, “he’ll go on needing it or I’m very much mistaken. But he’s probably . said something to his mother • • • perhaps that I*m not the right per- | son. . . .” “He was pretty insistent that you ; ; were, originally.” “Well, he’s changed his mind and Mrs. Dexter is so blinded by him — 1 she is really the most doting parentI’ve ever met, and I’ve met a good, many,” added Rose, exasperated—“that she won’t see anything odd in. ' his determination not to employ me any more, or if she does see anything, you can bank on it that it will be detrimental to me and not to her 1 ‘poor, brave boy’," she quoted, in; [ disgust. “Let’s forget it,” said and took the letter from her hand , and tore it up. “I’m leaving I the check.” he said smiling. She looked at it. She said, “I’vei a good mind to tear it up, too.” “Well,” said Jonathan “that would be pretty silly of you,, wouldn’t it? After all, you earned the money. Cash it, and squander! it in riotous living." • • • With Larry Dexter sailing for' ports unknown, with little Millie safe downstate, and other matters arising to occupy the mind of the public, the “Near Tragedy on the River” was soon forgotten by all but those most closely connected with it. The most curious thing that had come out of the whole business was Sally’s friendship with Rose. Sally, a week or so after the affair, drove to Rose’s house late one afternoon and found her alone. She said, when they were settled out on the porch together: “I want to tell you how marvellous you were the other defy—” Rose said, “I didn’t do anything, Sally.” “Don’t be so modest,” said Sally sharply, “of course you did. Kim couldn’t have made it without you. And I was too much of a coward . .. If you hadn’t been then-e—” She paused and shivered. She added, “But you were. You're a pretty swell person. And as fior that little beast of a Larry—” Rose looked at her wide-eyed, and Sally promptly explained: “Oh, I’ve always le?en fond of him in an older sister manner. He’s a brat, of course, and terribly spoiled, but I’m so used to hearing excuses made for him that I've al-

ways made them too. Naturally I haven’t breathed a word of this to the family, or Phil or anyone. But I know that handsome touch about his jumping out of the boat to lighten it was so much hooey. I had the binoculars and went up to the lookout. I saw it all pretty well, as well as I could for the rain and the fact that the waves kept coming over the boats and hiding both of them from my sight. But even if I hadn’t seen anything, I might have known.... My guess is as good as anyone else's, so I guessed that he was trying to swim to the nearest island. He’s an excellent swimmer,” said Sally, “and I just wanted you and Kim to know what I thought about you both. I tried to tell him, but he shut me up.” Rose murmured something, anything. She was rather touched by the tribute and amazed that Sally Sutton could be so fair, for she was being fair. Yet she was arrogant, spoiled, a small and pretty edition of her steam-roller parent. Sally asked, “Look here, I like you ... I don’t suppose you have much use for one—” “Why, Sally!” began Rose feebly, shocked into speech. “Oh, don’t bother to deny it," adwised Sally, lazily lighting a cigarette, “don’t you suppose I know in Just what esteem I’m held in the -town, along with poor old Pop?" She grinned impishly, “And I know you haven’t anything left over for me. But—look here, I asked you to the Island because of a sort of—let’s call it whim . . . I’m going to ask you again, as often as you’ll come, because I want you. Although,” she said ealmly, “I know perfectly well you’re in love with Kim and that after your marvellous exhibition the other day he’s probably in love with you, as well.” “So what?” inouired Rose, with spirit, and the snades of all the English teachers since time began probably turned over in their graves with the rapidity of squirrels in revolving cages. Sally laughed delightedly. She said, “You’re grand. I like Kim too. I give you fair warning. I won’t pretend that my intentions are honorable. I don’t think so. In fact,” she said, as if startled, “I certainly hope they’re not, that would be a little bit of too bad, wouldn’t it? But for the time being I’ll give you a run for your money. I’m warning you, that’s all. He’s the only man in this God-forsaken spot who interests me at all, and now that I’ve decided to stay here the rest of the summer, I don’t intend to withdraw from the lists and martyr myself just because I’ve discovered that you’re a regular person. Only I like you well enough to warn you, that’s all. All’s fair, you know,” she reminded her. “Sally,” said Rose severely, “you’re talking like a bad play or novel or something.” "Take it or leave it,” said Sally carelessly. “I just wanted you to know that if it wouldn’t demoralize your sterling character, I offer the friendship of a Terrible Sutton. Just between us girls, you know, when no men are about and we can let down our back hair and have a good cry over life and love, I think we could have an elegant time together. But I warn you again if you have any designs on Jonathan Kimber, I’ve a whole handful of monkey-wrenches. As far as that goes,” she said discontentedly, “how about Bill Lynd? He thinks you are pure gold and personally I think he’s just the man—for you, of course.”

I Rose began to laugh. It was all o very silly and light-hearted and it ridiculous. And besides, nothing it Sally could say could touch her. o She felt as if she had received an I immunity from fear and from o jealousy. She and Jonathan underI, stood one another. There was no d necessity for speech, not yet; nor g did she wish to hasten the time, f There stretched before her the long f lazy summer, the months to follow, t and if time went slowly, so much d the better, there was so much sheer t intangible happiness in this sense t of expectancy, this tip-toe waiting, - this comradeship. She was in no 1 haste. I “0.K.," said Sally and tossed her o cigarette over the railing. “I’m giving a dinner at the country club - next Saturday night. You'll come j along, won’t you? Wear your pretf tiest frock and do your darnedest, a I don’t care 1” She rose, held out her hand and 1 grinned. Rose put her own strong slender hand in the other girl’s clasp. She found herself liking t Sally Sutton very much, and pityr ing her as well, for some obscure reason she could not now make , plain to herself. Sne said, smiling, “All right, Sally, and perhaps I will - do my darnedest to save Jonathan - from your predatory clutches.” i When Sally had gone she found » herself still laughing at intervals. • It was all so perfectly plain to her. r Sally didn’t really care anything r about Jonathan, not seriously; she i had as much as said so. But, a born - flirt, bored with her surroundings, ) it was to be expected that ahe would 1 exercise upon the newest and, ac- I ■ cording to her own rating, the most r attractive man in town, all her eni chantment. Well, let her. Rose 5 wasn’t afraid. No, Rose was not afraid and Sally knew it. The trouble was that Sally i was and Rose couldn’t know that. > Sally had been honest with the i other girl, up to a point. She did j like her. She did believe that Rose ; Ward was in love with Jonathan and that Jonathan was perhaps a 3 little in love with her. What she had not told Rose, and what she [ dared not fully admit to herself, . was that, watching from the look- . out that day through the strong ’ glasses, watching the little boat | j which Jonathan guided tossed and i turned and all but submerged, ’ eclipsed in the grey greenness of 1 angry waters, she had suffered as f she had never before suffered in all i her shallow, exciting little life. And . she had been terribly frightened; t not alone for Jonathan, in the boat f but for herself, safe in the lookout . on land. She had been frightened . because she realized then that she I 1 was more than casually interested f in Jonathan, that the attraction , had deeper roots than she had be- • lieved and that she was, in short, seriously in love for the first time. ■ f . She was by no means a stupid r girl. She could fathom, easily enough, how much Rose would at- / tract Jonathan, how this adventure j of theirs would bring them closer » together; and she could deduce too i e just what her own attraction for ■ him was worth. But she was not a , clever politician’s daughter for 3 nothing, she had the devious mind j which could see around corners. [ Rose Ward, she had discovered, had s plenty of spirit. She would be a f fighter. But now through an offer 1 of friendship, and through a cons session of a purely light-minded int terest in Jgnathan, she had dist armed her. And Rose disarmed, , would not be on her guard, c (To be continued) t Coorrljhl by Filth Baldwin Dlltrlbuud by King Fenluret Syndicate. Inc.
