Geason, 21, of Lake Worth, Florida is being returned to Fort Wayne to answer charges ot cashing a couple of 125.00 worthless checks on May 19. It’s not as easy as it soms- , times looks to get something for nothing. 0 0-— The U. S. Steel Corporation is hr the midst of a wage dispute which is expected to be settled soon as they qan’t discuss the guaranteed wage question until next year when their contract expires. It may be an era of labor and capital difficulties before they are all through. 0 o According to Treasurer Humphrey taxes are to be cut next year because its a presidential election year. But that doesn’t help much for they will still have the big budget to balance unless they figure some magical way of reducing it Every citizen of the nation would like to see tsar reductions come but we don’t believe healthy reductions can be made until we get over giving money away. 0 0o— — Decatur stores are featuring - many tine gift items for Dad on % Tether’s Day June 19.

It isn’t a matter of causing hardships on people by compelling them to pay heavy fines; it is rather a drive to impress on all motorist* their responsibility to the public when they are behind the wheel. You too can become a member of the Slow Down And Live elub. o -0 Over a span of the last seven years three great prominent Decatur Boosters have served as president of Decatur Memorial Foundation, Inc., guiding group for the Youth and Community Center, new quarter million dollar building soon to be turned over to the people of the community. Cart C. Pumphrey, who now is honorary president of the group served as the first president The late A. R. Holthouse was the second president of the organization and following his death last fall the present head, J. Ward Calland was chosen. Mr. Calland was reelected Monday night and will serve as president during the dedication of the new structure and will preside in the ceremony turning it over to the people as "Everybody’s Building." These three men were prominent in raising the money, planning the building and leading the community to a long hoped for goal of having a Center where the Youth could meet in social and craft study hours and where adult clubs also could meet in comfort, a building with multipurposes for a good, prosperous community. Os course, the work was not done by one person, hundreds of local people have given money and hours of work to see the dream come true. Good leadership was a primary factor and we congratulate Mr. Calland on the unanimous vote of confidence his fellow board members showed in reelecting him. Our community should be grateful that we have so many people like the Pumphreys, the Holthouses, the Calland* and scores of other families who always help shoulder the burden when it is for a better Decatur.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX HESTER turned co Jennie and Enid. “There! Now you know I’ve been right all along!” She walked back to her kitchen, her head high in her satisfaction. Jennie was terribly alarmed. She did not believe that Cindy was denying that the picture was of her father—the child was pushing the fact of his suicide and death away from her. In her shock, Cindy might do anything. Jennie moved swiftly toward the orchard, stopped, turned, that place where you swim—you know where it is—l don't! Go after her quickly!” "I know where Mie's gone, Aunt Jennie. She’* all righL" “No, no, she’s beside herself I" Enid went toward the orchard. Gary was putting away his supper dishes when Cindy ran through the door, threw herself Into his arms, clung to him. “Keep me, Gary, keep me here!” He felt/ her sobs shaking her, the wild nesting of her heart. He felt her small and defenseless. “Quiet, Cindy! Quiet, my darling!” He spoke soothingly. “Don’t try to tell me now—wait until it’s easier . . .” Then, lining his head, he saw Enid standing in the open door, looking at them. As his eyes met hers, *he gave a little nod of her head and turned and walked quickly away. “What did she mean by that?” wondered Gary, uneasily. But he had to give his concern to Cindy, who now was sdbbing uncontrollably. “Gary, that woman came out—she had a newspaper, she stuck it out open in front of me—there was a picture —of —of a man who’d killed himself! She asked me if it was my father—Gary—" Her voice sunk to a wail: she clung more tightly to him. “It was! It was my father! He's dead!” “Oh!” muttered Gary. “You poor kid!” He put his face down against her hair. 'Tm terribly sorry!” "He'll never come here! And I’ll never go back to that house! That look on her face ... Keep me here, Gary." He held her close, her face buried into his shoulder, stroked her hair. And after a little her sobs quieted to choking breaths, He said, gently: “You’re exhausted, child. Lie down on my couch." She made no protest and he picked her un. carried her to his couch, laid her gently down on it, drew a blanket over her. She dug her wet face into the pillow like a weary child. He took some time starting hi* fire, hi* mind was not on it There'd be the devil to pay if he let her atay here! But, the poor kid, he couldn't march her back to that houae. •> He went to the couch. Cindy had fallen asleep. _ '

Nettie went to a neighbor’s directly after supper, and he opened the newspaper. “Thomas Todd, alias Richard Cornelius, Commits Suicide. Brain of the big gambling syndicate under indictment . . ." There was a knock on the kitchen door and he opened it. “Jennie!" He took her two hands, drew ner inside. “You walked down ?" “Yea.

She—Enid's with her. Wick, what should we do?” "You mean—should you go to the funeral?" “Shouldn't one of us go?" Suddenly Wick was remembering the Uttle girl with the braids, the brother taunting her as a coward because she was so timid about crossing the stones in the creek. He said: “How long since you’ve seen your brother?” ‘lt's been years. But does that matter now?” "My dear, that is for you to decide. But let me find out something about it first I’ll try to get Dan Dooley on long distance." He went out to the telephone in the kitchen. He came back. “It may take a little time. I doubt Dooley has a phone in his apartment I said it was an emergency and to find one in his neighborhood. if the operator can't—l’ll send him a wire.” “You’re so kind . . ." He said: “I’ve started something going about the post-office job. I don't know that I can pull it off but maybe . . . Wish Net were here." I The telephone rang.

My mother—she’s in there packing Cindy’s things—l begged her to stop, I told her she didn’t have any right to do IL You go in and tell her!" A battered old bag lay open on the bed tn the kitchen. Hester was putting garments into it She looked up as Wick came through the door. He said: “Mrs. Wilmer, you cannot do this!" “ She gave him a withering look. “And who, pray, would do it if 1 did not? You refused to listen to my suspicions of the girl’s identity. Now I have proven they were justified. Most certainly she has to go —1 will not tolerate an impostor on my uncle's premises. My lawyers in Malone will say I have tins righL" "Hester, don’t talk like that!" said Jennie behind Wick. I Hester withered her with a look. •h, you nad to go running to the Milage to Wick Middleton, didn't mou?” - She went to the old chest, drew out a lower drawer, turned over its contents to see if any of Cindy’s Rpsscssions were among them. She drew out a tin box. “See ? The girl has been hiding things!" She opened the box. “Money!” Triumph shook her voice. “The money that has been missing!" Dumfounded, Wick could only stare at the box in her hands, the show of the bills that apparently filled it .Dan Dooley couldn’t have left that much money with Cindy. He stepped up to her, took the box forcibly from Hester’s hands. "I'll keep this until Cindy explains why it Was there in the chest. 1 am responsible for the girl—possibly outside ot the law—but, even so, responsible. This packing up you've done—you can let it go until Cindy makes some decision. 1 am still executor of thia estate, Mrs. Wilmer." “For a while, possibly,” she retorted. She walked out of the door. “Wick, Tm so ashamed for her," said Jennie, low. ‘Tm —sorry for her!” Wick said: “I'll go and get Cindy and take her home to Net I'm going to take you back with me, too." „ "No,” said Jennie, quickly.
