Ths unfamiliar potent concoction sends her fast asleep and she is greatly embarrassed when she awakens in the apartment shared by Phil Parrish and bls brother. Don. The boys, however, realise that this badly confused young widow from a small town, is a thorouhgly nice person. They make light ot her "passing out” and later take her to visit their kuat Aggia a wperabie and understanding soul who likes the girl at once.

CHAPTER TWELVE IN Rinn, tn the hotel room that the city’s lights were on. Dale lay quietly, thinking. Her indignation «t Agatha Galbraith had abated. Tonight had shown her that she could find enjoyment in new faces, new surroundings, new diversions. Not quite happiness, not quite security. but an overlay of serenity. At home, everything jabbed reminders of joys shared with Kelly. If a decision to remain in New York was a form ot escape from memories, at least it was dignified and decent. Not like that other...

Had Grandy, with his Solomonwisdom, foreseen this nerve-wrack-ing interim of irresolution? When he had said, “You go!" had he sent her away for good, and why? In the morning, she called Swanscombe. Grandy was out rolling Che lawn, so Dale talked with her grandmother. "What would ydb say," Dale asked uncertainly, “if I—l stayed here, Grandmother, and got a job?” There was a pause. Then Helen Collier said, "We will miss you very much, Dale." Vaguely hurt. Dale said, "You think I should." “Darling, nothing here will ever be the same for you.” Phil Parrish’s very words. Dale felt sorry for heraelf. "I feel pushed out!” "Oh, no, Dale! You mustn’t But even the sparrows—” "Yes," she said drearily. “Pushed right over the edge. You make me feel as if 1 don't know anything about life at alt Besides, I haven’t got wings." "Birds just have instinct You’ve got intelligence ...

Nibbling between meals is solace for the thwarted and the defeated. You’re not too lonely, Dale? Too unhappy?" "No." And in mild astonishment, she realized that she wasn’t just reassuring Grandmother. It was the truth. The waitress came to wheel out her breakfast table while Dale was in the shower. She wrapped a towel around her and stuck her head ouL "Do you know if there's a bookstore near here?"

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

A. Although most typwritten personal letters are now generally accepted, it is sctlll (better to write the thank-you note by band. Q. What is ths customary tip a woman should leave to tne maid in the dressing room of a restaurant or nightclub? A. Twenty-five cents. No Lovers' Lane JUNEAU, Alaska, UP — Lovebirds and others who may want to park have been ordered to "keep moving" while on the Glacier highway. Territorial police said they would issue tickets to anyone parking there at any time.

“There’s the news agency in Che lobby. They have everything," Dale doubted if they would have Browning. “Never mind," she said. *TII just walk until I find a bookstore.” “It’s a lovely day, Mrs. Fraser." It was, indeed. Sunshine, pigeons on the window 'lls, brass grillwork burnished, all the women newly aware of themselves in thin woolens and silks in this prelude to summer which could, overnight, revoke and call false all its premises Dale frankly window-shopped. Kelly's money made it possible for her to walk into any of the stores and buy everything she fancied— And al) she wanted was one of Browning's poems and a Job. The bookstore she finally found was narrowrfaced and nondescript, its tunnel length stacked with books from floor to ceiling. By August, Kelly's book would be here. And in bookstores aU across thecountry. A small reverberation o/ RteRT, dafttKp, ewui tAea nat w stac/s on a “Reduced for Quick 8010" emmterl WaH make the moot of ow Bnef rphirL Dale steadied her voice and said to the girt who approached her, “1 want a copy of Robert Browning's poems.”

The girl made a wry grimace. "That’ll be up on top. I’ll bring the steps." Presently, climbing down with the book, “It’s dusty.” “Out of style, perhaps?" The girl shrugged slightly. "Shall 1 wrap it for you?" “One moment." Dale consulted the index and turned pages rapidly. Here It was. Rabbi Ben Ezra. She glanced up apologetically. "It’s rather important. Do you mind?" “Not at all.” Dale had it, then, at her fingertip. She read it quickly through, then again more slowly. "Then welcome each rebuff That turns earth’s smoothness , rough. Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand, but go! Be our joys three-parts pain! Strive, and hold cheap the strain; Learn, nor account the pang; dare, never grudge the throe!" At her elbow, Grandy stood; to her inner ear, Grandy spoke. Dale closed the book and looked up. “I’ll take it," she said to the girl “No, you needn’t wrap it." She paid for the book and walked out. In the doorway she stood a moment, sun on her face. So often Grandy was right, but why should he choose the difficult, the rough way tor' her? Why deliberately drive her from everything familiar and loved ? Then, half-turned to walk back to her hotel, she saw the sign in the bookstore window. HELP WANTED. Omens intrigued Dale. Amused her, too. More often than not one's own desires imbued them with their portent of good or evil. You believe what you want to believe. But Dale’s was a suspensive mood, to be swayed by any haphazard augury. This, on the heels of the message from Grandy, seemed to point in one direction only. “Okay," she said under her breath and rather grimly to an adamant old man hundreds of miles away. "Okay, Grandy.” - ; She re-entered the shop. “That sign in the window," she

Real Boner FORT WORTH, T»x., UP — E. H. Reagan, Jr., expert boner at a local packing plant, was demonstrating to new employes how* to bone meat when his knife slipped. He went to the hospital with a wound in his right side. Tear Trouble CONCORD, N. H.,‘ UP — Assistant Treasurer Kenneth B.

said, as the girl eame toward her again, questioningly. "What sort of a job la it?** "It's mine. I'm leaving." "What does it involve, beside* selling books?” “Looking after the records. Tm no good at it at all, and Mr. Windsor is even worse.” “The proprietor?" "Yes.” "Could I talk with him?” The girl's eyes held surprise, then appraisal of Dale's casually expensive look, and finally animosity. "It doesn't pay much. But if you’re interested," she consulted her wrist, “Mr. Windsor will be back in a naif hour.” TU come back, then." Something nostile in the girl’s manner, and the prospect of a half hour to dawdle away, almost, convinced Dale of the unreliability of impulses. But the book m ner hand, the words ol a man from the nineteenth century spoken to her in another man’s voice, took her back after an aimless walk to the bodkstore. -7 The girl who had sold her the book said shortly, “In the office, at the back." She pointed. “1 told him you were coming.” “Thank you." Dale walked the book-lined tunnel, knocked on a door at the end.

“Yes?" said a brusque, a harried voice. Dale went in. A big man in his shirtsleeves, dark and solidly packed, jumped up and swung a chair toward her. "Yes?” he said, with an impatient thrust of his hand at a hodgepodge di papers before him. Dale sat down. "I'm Dale Fraser. I saw your sign in the window. The Help Wanted sign." "Oh, yea" His quick glance held appraisal. Impersonal. Businesslike. He slapped his pocket tor cigarets, lit one, pulled an ash trayover.* "Ever keep books?” be asked. “Yea 1—" “Fine. If the Department of Internal Revenue is to get an honest tax report from me, someone’s got to straighten out my books. Can you do it? tt so, the job’s your*. Fraser, is it?” "Mrs. Fraser." Every time she said it, its meaninglessness struck her afresh, tt was just a name. Nothing more. “Yes," she said, "I can take care Os your books." He nodded. It seemed odd that so intense a look could be so objective. He mentioned the salary. "Suit you?” he asked. “When can you start?” “Without references?" Dale lifted her browa “How do you know I’m not a moron?” .. He shrugged. “You don’t look K. If you’re incompetent, I’ll fire you." Dale laughed. "That leaves me s free agent too, doesn’t it?” “Certainly.” He rose with her, towering massively over her. “Start tomorrow, can you? Lora win go along with you for a week to show you the ropes.” “Lora?" For the first time during the interview, feeling touched Jeffrey Windsor’s eyes, tt was there and gone, evading analysis. He pressed on' his half-smoked cigaret and held the door open for her. “Lora Thornton, the girl whose job you’ll be taking. Didn’t she tell you she was leaving?" (To Be Continued I
