The welfare budget in Marion county has been slashed 8419.99 S by the tax adjustment board. Evi deutly they believe the way to reduce taxes is to reduce them.

Warsaw has fallen and according to reports this on**v beautiful city is now but a pile of dust and debris Thais what war does. Thousands of lives have been lost and what's the great gain after all? Think you are taxed heavily? In Knglaud now the income tax is mure than one-third of the income ants may go higher They are raising eight billion dollars for the drst year of war.

It's not only a little expensive but the ditSculty of getting tickets is greater than the actual cost. Bast-ball is nearly over and the football players are really warm lug up.

Bob. 1 think I'd better go right to bed.** When Mike went back to the davenport ahe threw herself face down on it and wept- Was this the way she'd made Handsome fael when be had run off and married Iris? How eould she treat Bob so? But it wax really beyond her control. Until she fell asleep at 2 o'clock, th* was sure Handsome would rome.

mid-July. New York had lost a great pitcher. The team was in second . place. The fans raised a terrific . hue-and-cry. But that did not alter . the situation The days dragged on Mike had to keep up pretenses. I She saw Bob Kenyon when he was , so insistent that ahe did not have , the courage to say no. At the office thing* appeared to be the same aa t always. When they were together. . it was like old times. Except that . Bob did not speak of their marriage . any more. Mike was grateful that > he spared her that > In early September, Regan. , Senior, eame to town. Mike had dia- . ner with him and he eame back to > her apartment to talk with her. He . was trying to pay up Handsome's . debts around the city. It wa* taking i mo»t of his ready cash. “I'm afraid I spoiled him." the old man said. He'd aged years since hi* > wife'* death. “But he could always I get around hi* mother and me.” The elderly man took a card from Ms pocket It bad come to him in July, not long after Handsome had disappeared. It was mailed from ' New York and read: "Don't worry about me. I'm goi ing to sea.” Mr. Rogan shook his head. “I’m > hoping that 1* true. They've been through the hospitals, every place i And not a trace of him. How could he disappear on land? Every kid in , th* whole country would know him." Before Mr. Regan left he asked , Mike for a promise. "If he should I Cora* to you. or if you should hear l from him, you’ll let me know?" Mike promised, but she was losing hope. , In September. Bob Kenyon went > west for a two weeks' business trip. . and Mike learned just how much she had eome to depend on him for happiness He did not write her. nor telephone during the whole time. , There were mem >rar la which came into ths oAee for hsr from him. Strictly business. That was all Evidently Bob had decided be must learn to get along without her. Wish , telephoned her now and then. They , saw each other rarely. The meetings were always too painful. Detroit won the pennant ths’ rear, and had to play it out with Otago. The New York fans pointed out that they were just ten game* out of fir«t place. If Hand some Regan had been even in fair shape, their Yanks would have walked away with the pennant “Ha won't eome back now. Not with ths sens* on." Mike though' one morning as she sat up wearily in bed, saw the dark September sunshine. How different thing* had been a year ago for Handsome. For beraalf. too. for that matter. Kenyon was back from his trip. Mika was so glad to we him that he wa* touched, and tegan to hops that maybe sha would gradually forgi-t Handsome. So, in honor of his homo coming, Mike invited him down to the apartment for dinner. It was almost like old times. They laughed and talked, and he insisted on helping with the dishes. At ten o'clock. Bob suggested they go for a drive, but Mike had a better idea. “Let's walk down and around the Square. It's such a lovely night" They went down on to the crowded streets. Miks loved historic Washington Square Then they walked on up Fifth Avenue « little way. finally stopped at a sidewalk case. "We've been happy together tonight,” Bob said “Very happy. Bob. I always am with you.” They walked back slowly. It wa* getting late. There were few people now on the benches in the park. Mike looked at her watch.
