After a weekend of excellent winter weather, the sleet came. There will be little patches of ice on the s|de streets and roads, even after the glaxe melts away, so let's all be a little extra cautious tor a few days and save life and property. 0 0 The severe winter storm in the southwest has about subsided. Even with more than a hundred deaths and an immense property loss, residents of that area say the storm did do some good, because as the snow melts the long drought will be over. —o Rural school officials acted wisely In ordering "no school” today. Children are transported in buses and many of the routes ot necessity, are along side roads, which this morning were covered with ice. It's vacation for the pupils but its good common sense toward safety on the part of the officials. 0 0 Blaine "Blondy” Patton, one of Indiana's greatest sports writers to dead. The ex-Wabash college grid star. who for years was Sports editor of the Indianapolis Star died in Kentucky where he and his wife had moved after his retirement several years ago. Patton knew and wrote atom every sport in the record book. In recent years he had operated a motel in Kentucky. —e—0 — President Eisenhower's reply to the Pennsylvania registration clerk the other day is a masterpiece and should be recorded In history. When asked his occupation, the President replied, "Well I'm an ex-soldier, but I'm the President, I guess.” Some of the antics and statements recently by ' cabinet members and other high ranking officials, probably caused him to add the "I guess.” ‘ 0 0 Death, Saturday morning closed the earthly record book for Mrs. Sephus Melchi, respected Christian Decatur woman. Mrs. Melchi was a kindly neighbor, an ardent Chwrchworker and a splendid Wife and Mother. She lived a full life and all who knew her were able to become better citizens through the example of life which she practiced. The Daily Democrat joins her many friends in

offering condolence to her husband and five children. —-0 -0—Fivetime Governor of Ohio Frank Lausche has announced his intention of being a Democratic candidate tor United States senator. The Ohio governor, named to that post more times than any other person, alawys is a good vole getter for himself, but he has never been able or willing to carry the balance of his ticket with him into office. The Ohio senatorial contest next November should be an interesting one. 0 o Most of you have seen a baseball team blow up completely and lose a game; many of you have seen a good public speaker freeze on the platform and ruin a good speech; you've all heard of powerful automobiles chugging along in first place in a race and then stop dead still. This column reminded us of a dozen ot those things last week. First we had the wrong deadline date on the state tax returns and then we “goofed” the ground-hog date. These things are embarrassing, but some times unavoidable and certainly we'H be extra cautious in the future. All we can say is that Babe Ruth struck out oftener than he got a home run, but he Is remembered for his home runs. • 0 o Funeral services were held this morning for one of Decatur’s finest citizens, William P. Colchin. known to many of us when we were kids as “the candy man”, because be operated a confectionery store here for many years. Mr. Colchin leaves his family and friends many more memories than the fact that he was a successful business man. He was a kind neighbor and a good husband and father. A devout Christian. Mr. Colchin wasa member of St. Marys Catholic church. He was active in Decatur’s - business and civic circles for more than fifty years and* even in retirement these last few yeans he kepi close contact with his many friends and neighbors. Mr. Colchin was nearing the eightieth year of his life, when death visited him last Friday night. The Daily Democrat ’ extends to his two daughters and other relatives its sympathy and condolence. His was a life well lived.

SYNOPSIS Newly married Lora accompanies her husband. Wade Tyler, to his family home on Staten island after, nursing him back to beaUh from a serious wound he 'received while lighting as a Union soldier. She meets Wade’s autocratic mother. Amanda Tyler, and Jemmy, son of Wade and nis dead first wife. Virginia. Wade forbidii Lora to walk up the hili near the house but offers no explanation. Amanda attempts unsuccessfully to forbid Jemmy tofeall Lora Lorie. ~ CHAPTER FOUR A BRISK walk up and down the lane freshened Lora. She regained the house and let herself through the front door. The dim, chilly ballway was .silent and she found herself instinctively tiptoeing toward the stairs. Then, moved by a whim, she paused with one band on the newel post. So tar she had been faced by so many closed doors that she had seen little of this house. The front room opposite the library must be the parlor, and there was no reason why she should not look in and see what the room was like. She opened the door softly and at the thick gloom. Not only were the shutters closed, but heavy draperies had been pulled across the windows, shutting out any seepage of daylight and turning the room to shadowy night. Lora remembered the candle she had seen on the ball table with a packet of friction matches beside it and she got it quickly. The striking of a match sounded all too loud in the quiet hall, but she lit the candle and went into the dark parlor. The draperies were of winecolored velvet and most of the furniture was dark, well-polished walnut. From the wall above the mantel a portrait looked down at her. Thinly her candle lighted the face of the man in the picture and for a moment she thought it was a portrait of Wade. But the fulllipped mouth was more sensual, perhaps a little cruel, find there was none of Wade's likeable appeal m the portrayed gaze. One sensed something robustand hearty, but no great sensitivity. This then must be Wade’s father. It was difficult to imagine the grim old iady who held court in the rear parlor as the wife of this florid-faded man with the stamp of easy Hvingjjpon him. > , Someone whispered from the doorway and she looked about to see Jemmy beckoning to her ( insistently. "What is it?” ah* asked. •a. He put a finger to his lips and tip-toed into the room. “Ssh! Grandmother will hear you. You’d better come out quickly. You’re not supposed to come in ttie parlor,” Jemmy whispered. “Grand-

How does a widow’s or divorcee’s second wedding differ from her first? A. She does not wear white or carry orange blossoms, and she avoids an elaborate ceremony. She is usually unattended, although she may have one bridesmaid. Her costume for a church wedding is an afternoon frock and hat, or a traveling suit- Her father or other : male relative gives her away, pre- • clsely as at the first wedding. » Q. What is the proper way to • ask for a person over the tele -

mother only opens it for company, and on Sundays. We’ll be here torn orrow. But if grandmother catches you now she’ll be angry." “1 don’t see why she should be,” Lora.said gently, remaining where she was. Then she went on, not waiting for further objection. “That' portrait over the mantel must be of your grandfather. Do you remember him. Jemmy ?” Jemmy stared at the picture and shook bis bead. ”He died when Papa was only 10. And you know what —he was thrown from a runaway horse he was riding when he'd had too much to drink. Aren’t you afraid of her?” “Your grandmother? Why should I be?” “My mother was afraid of her. Sometimes 1 had to protect Mama from Grandmother.” “There’s no reason to be afraid,” Lora told him. “We have to remembei that your grandmother has had considerable trouble tn ber life." She glanced briefly at the portrait “And that she can't move around like other people. Perhaps we’d be irritable sometimes, too, if we had to sit tn a chair all day long and couldn’t leave the bouse.” “I think she could leave it if she wanted to." Jemmy whispered, glancing cautiously behind him. “I heard the doctor tell her one time that there wasn’t anything wrong with ber that her own will couldn't cure. But she got so angry she sent hint away and she won't have a doctor tn the house any more.” Sunday came all too quickly, and with tt a sense of restraint that made past solemnity seem almost frivolous. As Jemmy had prophesied, they spent the entire morning tn the parlor. Shutters and draperies were not opened, but at least a tamp and candles pierced the gloom and a tire tn the grate pushed back the chill air for a small radius. Mrs Tyler’s chair was placed at the center table on which rested the huge Bible and she read with keen eyes that needed no glasses the words of the text Lora sat on the slippery hair sofa beside Wade, her hands folded tightly in her lap, trying not to fidget. “Thank you. Lord, for smiting down the enemies of our beloved Union. Bring victory soon to our forces and let the evil ones go down in helpless defeat!” The prayer was very long and once or twice Dora could not help the squeaking of the sofa beneath her. When tt finally ended she releasee a sigh of relief without realizing tt, and Mrs. Tyler looked at her sharply.

A- The proper manner Is to ask, “May 1 speak to Anne, please?” And when the person replies with. “Just a moment. please,” or, ”I'll call her," don't forget to add a “Thank you.” Q Does the receiving of a wedding announcement require a gift?

“Lora, 1 do not sense in you a proper reverence on the Lord’s day." There was a blazing light tn Mrs. Tyler’s eyes. ‘There is only one God and I will suffer no disrespect to Him in this house. Mrs. Tyler turned to her son, “Wade, we have finished our prayers. Will you help me back to my Sitting-room, please? Then 1 trust you will take your wife aside and explain to her the customs of this house. I do not feel strong enough at the moment.” To Lora, she had never seemed less weak, but Wade pulled his crutch into place and stood up. He did not glance Lora’s way again as he helped his mother wheel her chair into the halt Lora stayed where she was, struggling against indignation which rose frighteningly within her. She had no opportunity to talk to Wade, for he drove away from the bouse immediately after noon i dinner. When Lora realized he had gone i she went into Mrs. Tyler’s sitting- , room, feeling that the quicker certain matters were cleared up the better. But Ellie was helping to 1 make Mrs. Tyler comfortable for her nap and it was plain that the old lady meant to talk to no one. At least Lora managed a questioi about Wade. • T saw him drive away,” she said. “I wish be had taken me with him. Td have loved a drive, and I imagine Jemmy would, too. Do you know where he nas gone ?" Mrs. Tyler looked up from slipping her arms into the sleeves of S lavender wrapper. “You would not have been welcome. My son has gone to visit his first wife's grave. It would hardly be appropriate for you to accompany him.” “Why would it not?” Lora asked. ”1 have only the kindest feeling toward Virginia.” Ellie was helping Mrs. Tyler to the bed tn the small adjoining room, and Lora followed them to the doorway. But Mrs. Tyler did not answer until Ellie had gone scuttling off with a frightened backward glance for Lora. Then-the old lady lay back upon her pillows snd fixed Lora with a gaze in which there was nothing but open dislike. “1 should think," she said, “that it wou' be very plain to you that Wade is still in love with Virginia." Lora swallowed against a dry throat before she spoke again. "I understood that when I married him. 1 have not footed myself or Wade. But ! will hot believe that 1 mean nothing to him. Fm sure that he needs me now.” (To Be Continued)
