They had trailed him with bloodhounds to a little shack near Moose Lake. For three hours they poured mai hlue gun and rille bullets Into the cabin, believing he had barricaded himself there. Their shots richocheted off trees and rocks, leading possemen on - each side of the cabin to believe ' shots were being Bred from within. Finally they hurled tear gas bomba Into the cabin, cautiously approached, and found it empty. The bloodhounds picked up another trail that led to the cabin of Mrs. Russell Lepley, but she said

CHAPTER XX If she could just have had Edward—and had other Jhings differHow could they be really happy here? How eould she find a life for herself, in her mother-in-law’s house? Edward went out every day looking for work. Until he got it. it would be impossible to move, and . even then, how eould they, with the Wilsons looking forward to their board, and Bee hinting that if Edward assumed his full share of the burden, she eould be happy too? Every time she looked at the new toe-box she was frightened and angry. It was true that Mrs. Wilson had counted on Edward's board to pay for it, and it was true that two weeks had rolled by since he paid the one and only $lO. But what right had his mother to go and spend it that way? If she had any sense they'd know that young people want to be alone! Even Edward couldn’t quite understand how she felt about everything. He didn't know how she felt about being there on charity, and how hie mother opposed every single thing she tried to do to help, or improve things. She didn't even tell him about the curtains she bought for their room. If wo have to live in it, she thought, I can at least make it a little more attractive. She bought tne lamp first, because she happened to see it —such a pretty white pottery base, with a white shade lined in rose. Bee raved about it, and Mrs. Wilson looked at it, and said nothing. But she said enough about the curtains I Marie bought pink organdie ones, with ruffles. She knew they’d flatter the room, and make it more inviting. and they matched the pink and white bedspread which was quite new. She could hardly wait to get the ugly old green ones down, and the new ones up. They made a bulky package, but she carried them home just the same. She was so proud of them. Mrs. Wilson looked at them, her lips pressed tight together. "Did you want to put them up?" she asked. "Why, yes! In our room! The bed spread is pink, you know, and I thought these pink curtains ... My room at home was pink—" Mrs. Wilson's lips compressed again. She opened her mouth, shut it tight, said nothing. "Are you displeased about something, Mrs. Wilson? Don't you like my curtains?" "Oh! I'm sure It doesn't matter whether I do or not. You're the one to bo pleae«d. not I. If you’d rather have eheap pink stuff that will fall to pieces the fleet washing, throwing your money away when we don't know where the next ... but it's your money of course. “I . . I kind of hate to see those green ones come down, that's all. They’re the most expensive silk net. The fringe a Ion? on them cost ever 410 much. I had them In the front room, but the summer we went camping—that was the year Papa i was sick—and we rented our house, I the tenants left the shades up and I they Just rotted after that. "All I eould do was cut them off short and use them in the sleeping poreh. I always liked them. I've always been partial to green. Green is Eddie's favorite color, too. He I never liked pink, even as a baby he ' didn’t like it. But If you like it, go ahead. Don't mind me!” I won't! I never heard of anything so silly. And Edward DOES liks pink! 11l put them up anyway. Mir’s thought rebellions!?. But she didn't. She put them

away in the trunk, without even showing them to Edward. There was no use. Things would have to go on just as they were, as long as she lived in her mother-in-law's house. It was April now. Over two months since she came. The Werners no iongerpeeked at her behind the curtains. They said, “Hello Mis’ Wilson,” quite naturally, whenever they met Marie on the avenue, or out in front of the house, and she nodded and smiled in return, trying to aet as if she were used to being called Mrs. Wilson. The people on the other aide, elderly Mr. and Mrs. Gerts, and their two old maid daughters, were very friendly, too. The younger one. Dottie, often walked to the branch library with Marie, and sometimes they went to a movie -"dutch treat" —at Dottie’s invitation. Dottie, broad of hip, narrow of shoulder, conscientiously girlish in spite of her drawn, old face and graying hair, was mad about movies. She collected autographs, knew every movie actor and actress' history. who married who, how old they were, who had babies, who was contemplating divorce. She waa hopelessly romantic. Her hungry interest in brides, and weddings, and other folks’ love lives disconcerted Mane, frightened her, but not as it frightened Bee. To Bee, poor Dottie waa the horrible example, the living proof of what happens to you if you don’t marry. If it had not been for the Gerts "girls," Dottie and Gladya, solicitously helping "Mama” and "Papa" into the car, taking them for rides, going to shows with them, on vacations with them, lost 'n the elderly world they lived in. lost, and never to be redeemed in spite of poor Dottie's backward glances, het eager friendliness, Bee might not have been so desperate about “getting things settled” with Ritchie. Ritchie loved her. He’d told her time and time again that he loved her. Then why wouldn't he say something? Why wouldn't he come to the point! She’d wait for him—wait years If necessary—live at home, like Eddie and Marie, If worst came to worst. Things couldn't go on this way any longer—oho couldn't stand it! To Mario she said, "Men never really propose to girls any more. Especially when the girl has a job, too, and is making almost as much as they are. Men and their pride—l <»h. I could scream sometimes! They don't pay much In banks, but it's a secure position, and, I don't mind going on working. Rut Ritchie is so stubborn—he'll never really ask me until he makes more than I do, and sometimes I think that he's just waiting . .. wanting me to say something . . , but what girl wants to? There’s always the chance—" Silence. Uneasy alienee from Marie. Whenever Bee talked this way she wondered If she guessed, If she could possibly know, that she'd really proposed to Edward, the night they parked by the sea? The thought so unnerved her that she could only stammer, “I don’t know. It’s hard to say . . but of course you know what you ought tn do." Thia last was a direct quotation from Julie. Bu» Mnrie, who so seldom knew what aha ought to do. couldn't really expert another to know. Nevertheless It worried her. For aha didn't know what Ritchie meant by his whispered flattery, his maneuvering to get her off by herself, the easy way his arm vert around her when no one «m looking. Was it all harmless fun?

Or wasn’t Ritchie as much in love with Bee as she thought? ess "You couldn’t lend me a dollar, could you, sweetheart?" Edward asked. He was going over to San Francisco, to see someone Press Hackett knew, about a job in a bond house. Edward didn't know much about bonds, but he did know a lot of people, and Press thought he could put it over. Marie hoped no. She eould hardly conceal her worry and distress. The fifty dollars Charlie had given her had melted, melted into thin air. And they had hardly a dollar ia the world. It wan no longer a question of moving to a place of their own. She'd be happy, she thought, if they could just pay board. Bee was nice about it After the first blow-up when Edward eamo home with a wife, she was unbelievably nice. But the sight of her worn prsttiness, her drooping mouth, the d*ep circles under her eyes, struck Marie like a lash. Why should she get up early, go to work every day and turn so much of the money over to her mother, when Edward did nothing? Not that it was Edward's fault He’d tried terribly hard to get work. Ho turned down every Invitation that meant spending even a tiny amount of money. Ho too was looking worn. And still Mrs. Wilson made her daily shopping tour, coming hack laden with delicacies, in and out of season. Strawberries—because the first ones are so exciting! Thick T-bone steaks - because they are so nourishing! Cana of thia and that. Bags and pasteboard boxes of rich, delicious little cakes. "For the love of heaven," Bee raid, exasperated, "let's not eet up our last dollar. Other people support life on hamburger and carrots and stuff like that—we don’t need ehieken and steak and roast beef!" Mrs. Wilson'a eyes filled. Two tears trickled slowly down her cheeks. "I try to think of your health," she said. “I’m trying to think of the hills!" Mrs. Wilson smiled through her tears. "Oh. the bilk!" she said. "They're all right. I paid something on ail of them thia month, and no one complained at all. That’s all you have to do—just show good faith! Except the ice box man. That's a contract, ho says, and I really must keep up the agreement. “t really must have |S SO by the fifteenth, Edward.

Bee said, “if you have fivefifty, put It on the board, for heaven's sake, Edward! Rhe doesn't nerd that lee hox any more than I need on ermine coat- not as much!

Your mother knows what she's doing, Bee!” "That's just it She doesn’t! Oh, for heaven's sake why do you drive mo half cresyl As if I didn't have enough already, without ice boxes!” Rhe knocked over her glass, ran. sobbing loudly from the room. (To Ba Continued) CstVdsM.

Speed Zones On State Highways Are Designated By Commission

» - ■ - - (This Is the second of a series of articles on the new Indiana Traf fl« (lode, effective July I. discussing duties and responsibilities of the state highway commission under the code.)

Indiana's new traffic code, which becomes effective on Julyll l establishes certain speed limitations on the streets and highways and makes the etale highway commission responsible for designating limited speed sones on all state highways. T. A. Dicus, commission chairman, pointed out today The sign pictured above warns motorists entering the residential district of an Indiana city that they are In a limited speed sone and must not exceed 20-miles-per-hour. The new traffic code specifies that speeds of over Wmlles-per-hour in residential districts or over 20 mlles-per-hour In business districts are unlawful as not reasonable or prudent. As rapidly as possible, the state highway commission is establishing such sones In cities and towns and at other locations on the state highways where restricted speed is advisable for safety. Approximately three hundred cities and towns have already been soiled by the commission and official signs, rectangular in shape

CHAPTER XXI Mr. Wilson picked up his fork, sighed, went on eating. Mrs. Wilson dabbed at the spreading gray stain, with her napkin. She said, "I wish Ben could take her vacation now, she's nervous and tired. She's so high-strung.” And Edward said viciously, "I wish my vacation waa at an end. I wish I had a job—any kind of a job!" "That," Mr. Wilson said, "is the kind of spirit that gets you a job, eon. You'll have one soon." Marie smiled at him gratefully, but Edward hardly heard. That afternoon Marie did a little washing and ironing for Beatrice. When she had offered, at first. Bee refused flatly. "Mom will do what I can't manage myself,” she said. “ But she does everything! Andi haven't anything to do—l’d be so happy if you’d let me!" “Well, if you want to. There’s my pleated silk blouse, if you feel like fooling with it Mom ean't iron pleats and I oughtn't to send it to the laundry.” Timo was nothing to Mario. She pinned each pleat with elaborate care. She found a few more of Bee's things to press, and was delighted at her praise. "Mother always said I eould get a job in a French laundry!” she boasted happily. But l.dward was angry. “My wife doesn’t have to take in washing yet. and there’s no reason why you should do Bee's things, and fight with Mom to iron my shirts. Now you’ve got her to thinking I’m dissatisfied with the way she does them. Heck, she does them all right!" "It was just that I wanted to do something! I feel so dependent!" Her lip trembled. If she eould only make him understand! If she eould have written her heart out to her mother. But that was the one thing oho couldn’t do. Julio mustn't know. o e o Edward didn’t get the Job. It was filled when he got there, but there might be another opening soon." "I.ct's go to a movie and forget It,” ho said after dinner, but Marie waa cautious. Whatever ho had in hie pocket waa the last money they had in the world. "Do you think wo ought to spend the money? You might need It for carfare.” "Suit yourself. I just wanted to give you a little pleasure.” So he put on his hat and swung out of the house without her. Presently Bee wont out, not without a warm argument over the car. Mr. Wilson wanted to be driven to the Mmnkes. There was some business he wanted to talk over with Clem. Mom thought she'd go, too, and talk to Ada. But Bee wouldn't give in. Rhe had promised to pick up Ritchie. They were going somewhere in the car. Pop began the usual speech about young men who expected girls to provide cars. "A msn that would take money from a woman, In my day, was considered beneath contempt. And a man today, that will allow a woman to provide a car—" Marie went upstairs. Shs’d go to bod and read. There was nothing else to do. Edward was so difficult lately. He'd either be in wild spirits, planning something impossible, or he'd be down in the dumps, refusing to ssy a word. Men whom she'd never seen before. good looking, sport-clad youths In roadsters, honked outside the

house. Edward would drop whatever he was doing, slip hia gray flannel eoat* over his sleeveless sweater, and be gone. No one rise seemed to know or care who these men were, or where Edward went with them. ”1 never Interfere. I trust my children," Mrs. Wilson told Marie sternly, when once or twice she ventured to ask. Edward's own answers were equally unenlightening. "Ob—just a fellow I know—no one you’d bo interested in.” Lying in bed. weary of reading, conscious of the lateness of the hour, wondering and worrying about Edward, Marie dosed and woke and dosed again. Something woke her from a heavy sleep. She sat up. conscious that it was nearly morning, that Eward had not come in. There was a babel of voices, the sound of a window closing, and then, unmistakably, Mr. Wilson's heavy step descending the inner stairs. She put on her kimono and slippers, and went to the door. Her heart thumped painfully. Edward ... something had happened to Edward. ~. There waa a bright light in the hall. In its glare old Mr. Wilson, halfway down the stairs, seemed smaller, more ineffectual than ever. Hie thin white hair—the hair that he kept brushed so neatly always, was in wisps over hie forehead, hie florid face was scarlet. He lied the cottony eord of hie red and brown patterned bathrobe tighter and tighter about hie meager waist The front door was shu’, Beatrice leaned against it, arms ovtflung; "You will not speak to him!” "Then you come In here and lot him go home where he belongs!" "He ean’t walk home," the girl said, passionately, but keeping her voice scarcely above a whisper. “He can’t walk homo -it's too late Can you understand English? It's too late!” Th« man took two steps down the stairs. He put the earn* toot forward each time like a child. "If you eome down he’s If you dare to say another word I'll—Hl walk out of this house and never eome back!" Mario leaned against the doorway to the room, siek at heart. Edward wasn’t In this. It was something about Ritchie and 800, she knew. And Bee WOULD de something desperate. Why couldn't her father see it? Why did ho keep goading her. coming eloser? Two more steps. Mr. Wilson was . coming downstsirs. “I'm boas of this house, and 111 show you—" "You make any more noise—you eome one bit eloser and 1’11..." the girl screamed “Beatrice! Claude!” Mountainous In old rose corduroy the mother thrust her head over the railing. With her streaming gray hair, her swollen, sleeii distorted face, she was scarcely recognisable as neat Mrs. Wilson. Part Mario she strode, slippers flapping, and down the stairs to her husband. "Hare you tost your mind ? What IS it? And Beatrice, it's half past tour. I never heard of sueh a time to get home. And vou know you have to get the eight-ten as usual!" "Oh Mom," Bee screamed — "You’re so funny! Don't stand there LOOKING at me. I'm Iteret I'm safe! We were merely late, at a party! There's Marie upstairs, too ths life of a go’dfish!
