» CHAPTER THIRTY.NINE A ERRON HAD acquired boldness. Jennet saw at once that he wasn’t the young man who had stammeted and turned beet-red when addressing her. Even now while he was answering Quint’s questions, bis eyes kept coming to her where she sat and she had to drop her own before them. “The lucky pennant’s still allying, Miss Jennet. It’s white now but I guess it’ll stand for hick, just the same.** ' - - \She knew by his look that he was remembering the flay she had — put it in his hands. ' , l Quint spoke: “Have they armed the brig?" - “Aye. Manned her. They tried her out on the river. A battery opened up on her but she slid through the shot like she was charmed. Granidad said he was awful sorry you weren’t on hand to see." ' “No, I wasn’t on hand," said Quint, grimly. Then, “You’ll have - supper with us, lad ? My wife is away but Jennet and Becky see to It that we have food aplenty.’’ “It’d be a pleasure, sir.". Enron looked at Jennet but it was only > her back he saw for she was frying out of the room. She found Becky “Ekron Piers Isback from war. Ha's here. He r s staying to supper." As she spokh’ she was dragging Becky ,• by the arm toward the bedchiimber Becky used now. "We must pretty ‘ yon up!” "Me?" said Becky, bewildcnsd. “Why?" . “Don't be stupid. Hurry— talke , off that dress—wear this one of inina Brush your hair the way I showed you. Rub your cheeks hard. Pinch them.** If the Jtttaers of thw amy anil militia had snapped or , deri at their meh as Jennet wait snapping them now at Becky, the war would have been over. “And get your hands clean,** she throw over her shoulder as she left the fOOtt. Quint had taken Erron into the baL Sarah was stirring up the fire on the kitchen hearth. Jsnnet foil briskly to work helping' her prepare the supper, a little abstracted smile on her lipa. ; Becky joined them, her cheeks flushed from more than the pinching she’d administered to them, one of her Christmas ribbons binding back her 'hair; Jennet Surveyed her, nodded her approval. \" “How d’do. Miss Becky," said Erron when he came in with Quint. And the color on Becky’s face deepened. She was able only to

Kennelly was elected, to his second term in the nation’s second largest city and his victory is an > endorsement of hlii record. A successful business man before eiiter Ing politics, thei chief executive is credited with doing about all one man can do in public office to improve his city.

The city campaign \was watched ,by the nation, for Republican leaders contended that if tire mayoralty race were won, the *pOP would have a better chance of carryihg Illinois in 1952. ——O— O 4- ' A A V The Town Clock:— The decision io keep the court house clock on standard time during the summer months will only bring confusion in our abnimupity. As provided by ordinance, the city of Decatur will Qpei'ate on Daylight Saving Tinie.beginning a- midnight on April 28.' This weans that the clocks — will be turned up one hour. : \ The practice is not new, for Deicalur has been operating "on Daylight or Eastern timed for more L- ■ 1 than 10 years, including the war years when nation set up its clocks.

Os neighborhood affairs, mostly; Erqpn appeared disinclined to\ say anything of his experiences in soldiering. The ravenous way he ate, though, spoke of the hung<-- he had known. Jennet told herself it was because thic was the\ first good meal he had had in months that he did riot give Becky, who was looking so pretty, his attention. He could not go into the parlor with them, after the meal. Dan likely needed him, he said. Quint put his arm over Enron’s shoulders. “It’s good that you’re home, boy." There seerned a' new bond between them. “You’ll drop in often? And bring Dan?" “I’d be pleased to, sir." „ As he said it, Erron looked at Jennet over Quint’s shoulder. He came, a few evenings later. It was after supper and he Joined them in the parlor. He did not have much to 'say but it was contentment rather than his old shyness that kept him fculet. His glance went Over the room more than once. “You’ve it nice here," he said to Quint "Makes me think of the way my mother's parlor was." ITT Becky's lesson books were on the table and one Was th her hands where Jennet had dut it. Jennet sa.< Erron looking at it with interest She put doWn the sewing on which she was working. “Becky, recite for Erron— that poem you learned last week.? “I couldn't—ever," sgld Becky, her face Very red. ~ ; “I’d be pleased to hear it," encouraged Erron. “No, please.. .• “Then sing that sang yap learnedl" Jennet's voice find a tone of command. “Come." Sh« went i to the piano, “Come, Becky. ’Annie Lauric* *• J Becky looked as If she wore go- I ing to burst into tears.; But, hor hands clutched tightly together, ' she stood beside Jennet and piped through a verse of the Soqg. | 1 Quint covered a untie. It was : very plain to him that Jennet was 1 starting her matchmaking. She'd go to any lengths to further it, < he knew. Well, if she succeeded in 1 it—it would be, as she had said, a i solution of Becky’s future. i The next day Jennet asked him 1 to buy some dress cloth from the i next merchant who came.

ujle will arise if the town clock isn’t set up one hour, when stores apd. offices close at their regular hours of five or five-thirty in the afternoon. The court house time piece will then register only four) or four-thirty The same confusion will results on Saturday evening. •\ Our churches, schools, factories, t ■ • - A homes and all lines of business „ will operate on the daylight sehed-.

Even the offices in the court house will observe Daylight time, closing, at 4:30 ’p.m., \ when the court house clock shows 3:30 p.m. Let’s reconsider this projrosition. i | < ■A I ' ■' ' ' , —Q —s —o~p— -— . , ,j-. \ ; Senate Cloture:— \ A weakness in bur would be relieved if a proposal by Senator Lehman of New York and tev cplleagueis goes through. He would make it easier for the Senate to pass legislation favored by a majority, depriving the njinority of its present right to veto. At present, no bill can go through if a few senators are\determiped to fight it to the last ditch. Lehman proposal would allow twothirds of the senators present to cut off debate after 48 hours. The existing rule requftbs v two-thirds, of the total membership of 96, pr 64 senators. Ofteb there are fewer than 64 present, making < this method of ending debate extremely hard to employ. After fifteen ,day§ of debate Lehman’s bill would make it possible to end debate by a simple majority .of , those present. \, \ ■ \ Thjs is not only fair play. It would end an ever-present menace. Much needed enrergency legislation might well be obnoxious to a few special interests whose agents have got themselves > < ieCted to the Senate. Under the present impossible cloture rules, this legislation could never get through.

blue material and she chose that He associated blue with her anti he 4 thought it was for a dress herself. At once she cut into it and for several evenings she and Becky were busy stitching seama But then one afternoon he found Jennet fitting it to Becky. Erron came again and Becky wpre the new dress. Jennet had coaxed some ringlets into Becky's hair and her cheeks had more color. In contrast Jennet herself looked shabby, a little drab. Quint suspected the pallor! of her face was from flour rubbed into it. Her manner was dull and listless. She was playing another i part. Minx. He had not thought of her as such for a long time but he did, now. The talk had turned to a column in the Gazette, which announced that some of the Senecas were joining up with the militia in the defense of the frontier. Quint read it aloud; as they Sat in the parlor. “We’re driven to that!” he commented sternly. Erron sprang to his feet, his face white. But he kept bold of the arms of bis chair.; “Why not? The British use ’em I; They send their Mohawks ahead of ’em! Savages—with no mercy4-no thought but to kill as they go,. kill women, even babies...l’ve met ’em! Escaped ’em by the skin of my teeth —there, under the Qjueefistoh Heights. Savages! FOr all their c(t v Ills e d learning , . that halfbreed ..." Now it was Jennet who sprang to bar feet, tbs wool on which she ws, Knitting rolling to the floor. As Erron had, she clung to her chair and her face was white. “It you mesa Peter Brant—he wouldn't —he toouldn’t fight his own moth* er*s people!" “HO wouldn’t, eh? I saw him tn hia war pgintl" “You—were mistaken,** said Jannet, with a terrible coldness. But Quint saw how. she was trembling. He vas sick at heart— It means she hsd not forgotten I Peter. He was sickened, too, by what EJrron had said. i Erron gave Jennet a curious look as he sat down. "Maybe 1 was, Miss Jennet. They all look alike when they’re on the warpath." Jennet picked up her wool, sat down In her own chair again. But there was nothing listless in her manner; she sat very straight, her needles clicked at a furious speed, the angry color stayed on her cheeks. Erron did not, stay long, and when he went away she gave him a cold goodnight. GogftaiMdU
