Many Decatur stores are offering an excellent selection of gifts for Mother's day next Sunday. It will be well worth your time to look around in the Decatur stores before you buy Mom her Sunday gift. - « « G— In 1946 the Decatur tax rate was 42 cents. This year the rate payable, set in 1954 was 31.54. This is the city rate only and does not include the county, state, school or township rate. The increase was about three and a half I times compared with the rate of 42 cents for the city in 1946. This statement is made because taxes undoubtedly will be one of the ctty election campaign issues. 0 o A well-known Decatur citizen who owns a summer home at Turkey lake and who last year worked a full day painting his fishing boat, only to discover he was working on his neighbor's boat, informs us that this year he is certain he is painting his m boat. Many local people are starting the annual spring work of opening their summer cottages and soon vacation time will be here. 0 o Events chairman and co-chair-men for each program of Dedication week June 19-25 for the opening of the Youth and Community center have now been named and a general meeting of all chairmen will be held at once by General Chairman Glenn Hill. We are sure that the entire week will be one of many i happy occasions, and all of those in charge have the ability to assist in making Dedication week one that wIU never be forgotten. 0 0 Ferd Klenk, owner of Decatur's semlpro baseball team, which has been in the thick of the championship for the last several seasons in the Fort Wayne Federation league, is planning to place another strong team in the field this year.

Those leaving sooner must relinquish their share or shares to those remaining, tlaaJ resident to be awarded the entire farm. So when old Josh died, his kin were notified and copies of bis will mailed them. In tue late spring, we find Jennie Todd, an inheritor, a spinster, at the Trevitt place, making ready her quarters in the rambling old tarmhouse, and being assisted by Wick Middleton. executor ot tiie Trevitt estate. Cindy Todd, a pretty little motherless teen-ager, joins her Aunt Jenny at the farm, to file claim tor her missing* lather's share of the land. She's disappointed at finding this aunt a timid soul, but her day brightens when she meets with Gary Norbeck. i who has been assigned a wooded acre on the place. CHAPTER TEN CINDY forgot Aunt Jennie until a little later when she saw her at the pump, struggling ineffectually to Uli a pail with water. Kindness suddenly was part of Cindy's lightheartedness. She ran out to the pump. “Let me do that for you. Aunt Jennie!” She pumped the water, and they went into Jennie's kitchen. Cindy saw no sign of any food. The stove was cold. She cried out, “Aunt Jennie, haven't you eaten anything?” Jennie's thin face flushed. "Oh, yes—bread and butter. Some jam. I couldn't keep a fire going—it just smoked.” "I’ll take a try at it!” She noticed that the draught was closed. But she did not speak ot it. She adjusted it, selected quick kindling, set a match to IL Ahhost at once there was a blaze. “Do you want some tea, Aunt Jennie?” Jennie said with a shaky laugh: “I saw what you did —the draught was closed. How stupid of me! Yes, i’ll make some tea—l've been longing for it. Thanks.” Jennie got up from her chair. “I’m embarrassed. I don't know your name, child.” "Cindy. It's short for Lucinda That was my mother's name. She died when 1 was a baby.” "Oh. I —l’m sorry. I — didn’t know. I’ll manage now, Cindy. Don’t go to any more bother. And after Ims I’ll open the draught!”But Cindy lingered, held by some concern for this seemingly helpless aunt. She said, "Don’t you think it would be smart for us to have some vegetables growing here, hajidy ?” "I hadn’t thought about IL” "Gary Norbeck said he’d come this afternoon to spade up a space . for seeds.” “Gary Norbcck! The man across the creek?” ; "I met him this morning. He's awfully nice," study Cindy. “When % we start to work, come out and join us!” i "Perhaps—yes, I will.” f It took very little to make Cindy

happy. Bo she sang as she prepared herself some lunch, washed her dishes, brushed her hair. And her eyes were aglow when, seeing Gary Norbeck emerge from the barn, a spade in his hand, she ran to join him. He started digging. He went down the length of the spade, and when his next row brought him back to where she was standing, he said: “1 brought over some seeds of carrots and beans 1 had left. It's so late now I think you'd better get onion sets.” "I will Thanks a lot for the seeds. And when shall I come to pose for you?” “When it’s convenient for you, Miss Todd.” “Oh, call Cindy!” Gary smiled, the way, I do not have exclusive rights to that pool—so whenever you are inclined to go swimming in it, please don’t hesitate because of what I said.” Then Jennie came out . “Aunt Jennie, this is Mr. Norbeck!” Jennie said, a little stiffly: “You are very kind to do this work for us, Mr. Norbeck.” Wick Middleton drove in and Cindy called out: “Hi!" “Hi, yourself, Miss Cindy. Good afternoon, Miss Todd. Thought I’d drive up and check on you both. What’s going on?” • He lilted a hand toward Gary, at the far end of his row. “1 see you’ve met Gary Norbeck.” He paused, but when neither Cindy nor Jennie explained when or how, he went on: "And that you’re planning to grow something here.” “Vegetables,” announced Cindy. “Mr. Norbeck very kindly is doing the spading for us," said Jennie Todd. Wick said: “Cindy, I’ve the promise of two cats for you. And I brought you some books today, Miss lodd.” “Oh—thank you!” said Jennie Todd. "Miss Todd, your sister arrived last evening—spent the night- at my house. She is driving up here this afternoon.” At that moment a big car turned into the driveway. Cindy stared at it, and at the very welldressed woman who was getting out ot it, at a girl her own age. No one had told her there would be another girl here. Hester came toward them, smiling. "We’re here! Jennie, how wonderful that you could come!’’ she Kissed Jennie. ”1 was so afraid -you could not get away! You’re sure Miss Millhouse could spare you? You haven’t seen Enid for three years, have you? She’s a young lady now.” Enid stepped up to Jennie, put her check to Jennie’s, drew back. Hester turned to Wick Middleton. "So it is here you are.” She glanced at the bodfc Wick had in

his arm. “Jennie’s been begging some books from you! Jennie, you simply must not bury yourself in books while there la this lovely country to enjoy!" Cindy, standing behind Wick Middleton, was waiting for some recognition from this aunt, or from Enid. Then Wick Middleton spoke, stepping a little aside as he did so. “This is your niece, Mrs. Wilmer!’’ "Oh—yes.” Hester Wilmer's eyes went over Cindy. Cindy saw all the pleasantness gone from them. "What do you call yourself?” "Cindy. It’s really Lucinda, but no one . . But Hester Wilmer had turfied her back. “Come, Enid, we’ll go and look over our wing—let Jennie and Mr. Middleton dispose of their books. It’s that farther door, I remember! How familiar everything looks —even after all these years.” She went on ahead of Enid to the dooi ot the north wing. Jennie moved toward-her door. Cindy and Wick Middleton followed her with the books. But Cindy dropped hers on the nearest chair and slipped back out-of-doors. She went to her own part of the old house, shut her door. • • • Hester and Enid drove to the farm the next day, their bags and a carton of food in the back of the car. Mrs. Carrie Dean on the rear seat with a bundle ot cleaning rags which Nettie Middleton had pressed upon Hester. Hester set Mrs. Dean at once to cleaning the rooms. __ She found Enid in the bedroom, looking over it, the bags which shp had carried in oa the floor in front of her. "Mother, we can’t both sleep in here!” This was one of the problems which Hester had put off until this morning to face. "I know, dear. It wouldn’t be very comfortable for cither of us. But it may only be for a week or so." She saw Enid’s questioning look, laughed, and said: “Oh, I’m making lovely plans for you, darling! But I can’t say anything about them until they are definite. Will you bring in the other bags ?" She smiled after Enid as the girl left the room. She had sent her wire to Miss Alexander. She was confident that Mias Alexander would welcome another member in her group, for she had heard it was not as large as Miss Alexander wished. She could draw a check on Hubert’s and her joint account. "England — France . .s" She murmured the names off to the empty walls of the bedroom. Really, she had been inspired to think of this! It was much better for Enid than any art or music school . . « (To Bc~Continucd)
