Indications are that Governor Harriman of New York is becoming serious about running for the presidency. At first he stated he favored Mr. Stevenson but his recent activities and speeches rather indicate to many that he is an active candidate and will be supported by Tammany Hall. Campaigns usually get a little warm about this time of the-year and just before an election campaign. 0 0— This is a good time to check your fire insurance. With winter almost here officially, w-e know there will be some cold days and nights and when the te.mperauire_ drops, it is' necessary to fire heavier. People are urged to do two things. Make .sure your insurance is in effect in case of a fire. Then make sure you have eliminated all known fire hazards. Many fires could be avoid ed if we exercise a Ifttle care and caution around our homes tyid offices. 0 0 Mayor-elect Robert Cole, Clerk-Treasurer-elect Mirriam Hall and John DeVoss, who will serve as city attorney after January 1, attended a meeting of newly elected city officials at Indianapolis this week. The new officials were schooled for a day or their duties. We are proud of the calibre of people named to offices in Decatur and Adams county and from experience we know they are almost always far above the average. 0- o___. Decatur citizens are faced with a problent The steam generating plant, which produces a big majority of our r electricity, is old. Ope bqy<M«. 35_ years old and another 26 years old. That means one or even two could fail almost any time. If one generating unit fails, the city’s electric production would be vastly diminished. New unit’s are cost-, ly. Decatur has no stand-by system with any electric producing utility. No one in particular can be blamed for our situation except time and wear. However it is a condition to be faced by the incoming city administration, and it should be dealt with quickly. A majority of homes in Decatur would be helpless without electricity.

Ukivatemng her, in this cheerful brightness. Lois slid her feet into mules and pulled on a tailored blue flannel rote. When she- opened the door Clyde Kibbee was holding a traycovered by a linen napkin. Being Clyde, he rushed into apology. “Mother didn’t remember to ask what time you want breakfast. I didn't mean to wake you.'' She yawned and then laughed and he laughed with her.*With her face flushed by sleep and her curly hair standing up wildly she looked as young as he. “What time is it?” “A little after nine." "I didn’t sleep until quite late. There were—noises." And even in the bright warmth of morning she shivered, recalling her fear in the night. “Do you have prowlers around here?" “Never,” Clyde assured her. Lois stood aside while he carried the tray to the table and removed the napkin and silver covers from toast and scrambled eggs and crisp bacon. There was a cool melon, a | little jar of jam and a big pot of | coffee. Seeing her expression he smiled diffidently. ‘‘Mother, loves to feed people and she thinks you are too thio. If you .aren't firm with her you’ll be getting oatmeal with ■'thftffi’-'ef’SanT?'’- ■ mmrnmmr ' «How'Rffia The boy's eyes warmed. “She’s pretty swell. I’ll give her a testimonial any time.

"Do sit down and have some of this coffee with me,” she urged hfpi.

No reason I can see —for-mak+ng-a-fttss-eveF-a-gtty--whtr was practically a stranger to me.” Talking about himself increased his shyjiess. He backed to the door. "I must get back, but thank you, • Mrs. Fleming. Father wants to meet you. He is stronger today. If you’d care to come down to the cottage some time this morning—by afternoon he is apt to be tired. He couldn’t even see the first Mrs. Brindle yesterday. Only what tires him so much 1 don’t know. He's not supposed to get out of bed.” "I’i| come,” Lois promised. "And I'll try not to tire him. Sling me out if I do.” As Clyde started for the door she called, "And please tell youi mother—no, I'll tell her myself. You’d never do justice to this breakfast.” When she had finished, and she ate more than she had expected, she dressed in a sleeveless white linen dress and slung a powder blue sweater over her shoulders. As she reached the door there was a tap and she opened it to Jane Brindle, a very tailored Jane in dark j green slacks, white blouse and flat ; walking shoes. She was taller by inches than Lois. She smiled and again Lois.was aware of the charm of this plain woman. “1 thought,” she began in her lovely voice and then noticed Lois' sweater. "A#n 1 dustur-bing yviu ?. Wvs-e “Please come in. I’Ve been hoping I'd have an opportunity to talk Iq you." “Do you feel like a walk?” “I'd love "it.” 1 When they were outside the cottage, Lois went around to the side. The .ground here was rocky. Scattered among the boulders were a few hardy ribbon plants. The two directly below the window had been trampled. Lois bent over and saw that the damage had been done recently. When she looked into the cottage she was shocked to /discover how clearly she could see. At night, with the lights on. there might as well not be any wails, she thought, i

Who had stood here the night before, watching her? Stood for hours, because she had been aware of that unseen presence for a long time. Watched while she undressed - shpred '- a- frhny niglitgowir over her head ? "What is it?” Jane Brindle asked at length. ( Le s indicated the trampled ribbon plants. ''Someone was watchi ing me last night. I heard them, j This morning I asked Clyde about ! prowlers, but he says they never have any around here.” “Clyde," Jane said thoughtfully. Together the two women strolled up into the scented freshness of i the woods. Lois did pot attempt ito speak. For some reason Jane I Brindle had sought her out and .she was content to wait for the other woman to make the first move. ' “I’ve just come from the Kibbees’ cottage,” Jane said. “Albert won’t see me. And it’s perfectly ridiculous when, for years and years, we saw each other almost every day.” Lois did not know what response to make to this and again she waited. Jane swung along at her side, deep bosomed, flat stomached, hands thrust into the pockets of her slacks. She seemed to be profoundly troubled. At last she said with a little laugh, “You know, Albert has never forgiven me for divorcing Roger.” Lois strove for the same light-’ i. mass.’ Wla«Ui-waa..s ate Pythias, Rolan d-Oliver friendship?” “Not altogether. Not like that,” Jane said_ slowly. "Albert saw Roger without faults, a perfect being. He attributed to him all the qualities he would have liked to have himself." Her walk had lost its easy rhythm, she was trudging heavily. “I’ve simply got to* see him,” she burst out. “Then I’ll leave. 1 don’t belong here. That’s why I- thought, if I could be of any help to you on the articles before I go—what can I tell you, Mrs. Fleming?” Lois considered. "What was Rcyger Brindle like?” (To Be Coiilcdued)
