taining to the personnel of that well known utility. We note with pride that the editorial hssistant of the I and M News is Thomas Costello, former Decatur resident. Tom is a former Daily Democrat newsboy, a graduate of Decatur Catholic high school qnd Notre Dame University. He has been in the employ of the well known midwestern utility for more than two years, and is well on his way toward success. The ability of this and similar concerns to select top college men for important posts is one of the attributes which makes them outstanding in their field.

Death has removed from Ad ams county one of our finest citizens, Anton F. W. Thieme, Union township retired farmer. Mr. Thieme slept away Friday afternoon at his Decatur home after an illness of about four years, Always active in Democratic politics, Mr. Thieme served as a precinct committeeman for many years. He turned his farm over to a son ten years ago and moved to Decatur, but his retirement was short lived. After a few months rest he became a contract trucker for Krick-Tyndall Co., Which work he continued until illness forced him to quit some years ago. For nineteen years, Mr. Thieme served as a ticket salesman at the Indiana State Fair. He knew Governor McNutt. Townsend and Shricker personally and through his State Fair connection he was acquainted with farmers and exhibitors throughout the middlewest. The Daily Democrat joins his friends in offering sympathy and condolence to the Thieme family. ’• '* ■" 7

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE LORA rocked comfortably for a — few -momenta 4» John - Ambrose's cottage. Ambrose began clearing the table, carrying dishes to the alnk.She was glad that he ehpse to keep busy while she sat there sorting her thoughts. “You’ve done a lot for the Tyler household," he said, pumping water into a pan. "Jemmy tells me you’ve even got his grandmother sitting up again running things.” Lora nodded. •'Was Mrs. Tyler always like this ? I mean so domineering and—and unreasonable?" *” "She has a lot of her pa in her," Ambrose said. "Old Jason Cowles was all iron and nails and I guess she took after him pretty much." “I believe you like her," Lora said softly. He looked around at her then. “1 have liked her for a good many years, ma’am," he said simply. Then Lora said slowly, “Tell me about Wade when he was little." "Wade wasn’t like either of his parents, he was more like his rowdy father than he was like Mrs. Tyler. But she was bound she ' could change nature and turn him into the spittin* image of old Jason, his grandfather. Everything he was good at she made nothing of, and she used to nag all the time to turn him into what he wasn’t Even bls papa got sorry for the boy sometimes, but he didn’t dare interfere, and anyway he wasn’t much for the father stuff—not him. 1 never saw a little tyke who needed to be loved more than that Wade boy. He did fine, too, away from home. Girls always liked him and lots of the boys did, too—except the real roughnecks. He was plenty smart when he forgot that his mother thought he was stupid. Outside, people listened to him and made a lot of him. And he wanned to that the way Jemmy warms to you-" , “Virginia listened to him, didn’t she?" Lora asked gently. His back was to her and he didn’t speak for a minute, fie hung'up his dish towel and came toward the fireplace. "Virginia thought Wade was Apollo and Lancelot and Abelard : rolled into one. But 1 guess he didn’t believe all that himself. ’ Maybe, in away, he was leaning on her belief, instead of his own. That’s why you’re good for him— B <

he’s beginning to find out he has i some belief in himself after all.” » “But m 1 good for him?" Lora > murmured. “I hadn’t thought of » it like that" ; He reached toward the mantel- ’ piece for a pipe in a cracked bowl, then remembered his company and r drew back his hand. f “Please smoke," Lora said quick- ’ ly. "My father always smoked a [ pipe. I liked it" , He took the pipe down and packed it with tobacco, held a taper to the fire and lighted the fragrant weed. Then he drew the other rocker up to the fire beside 1 her. ! "One thing I can’t understand," Lora said, “is why Wade should • include you in his feud with Morgan." “That’s simple enough." Ambrose rocked for a moment and drew on his pipe. "He offered me a home in his house after we lost Virginia. My wife had died a while back. But I decided to stay with Morgan. Funny thing, Lora —maybe it makes no sense, but no matter how much of everything Morgan's got these days, I still feel like I need to be around, standing by. Just in case what she’s got doesn't turn out to be enough after all.” "Fm sure she doesn’t appreciate that." "It makes no matter. Something inside me bids me do this. But you can guess how much it peeved Wade. He wanted nothing to do with her, ahd when I chose to make my home here, he was mad enough to include me in the way he felt about her.” "Thank you for telling me these things," Lora said, "I’m not prying idly—l want so much Jfo understand. Serena has told me a few things, too. So has Jemmy. And even Morgan. 1 can fit all the bits and pieces together and begin to see the pattern. But, John, I’d hate to feel that human beings can only be what they are made to be. I don’t want to believe that Wade, or Jemmy, or Mother Tyler, or f can only be part of a set pattern that was fixed in the beginning." "I know what you mean, Lorie,", he said. Her eyes blurred at the sound of the name he must have picked up from Jemmy. Hearing him use it was like hearing it on Doe's fins.

i Ambrose reached toward the bookcase beside him and pulled a volume from the shelf. ’’Just the ’ same, Lorie, there’s a weaving to start with we can’t much help. There’s a casting Os the colors and a starting of the pattern that I we’ve nothing to say about. Something's handed us and we have to go on with it But the going on is up to us.” She went down the hill slowly. The sun was high and warm now I —a true spring day bestowed as ; a gift before May was here to i sanction spring’s appearance. The i breeze that had blown the mist i away rippled the surface of the little pool in the woods. A soft, rippling motion sped across the surface. Like quicksilver, Lora thought, remembering Jemmy's words. She turned away from the pool, found the place where the path Opened on the downhill side. For the first time she was shaken in , 'her convictions that she had been right in trying to persuade Wade to work with Morgan Channing and the Knights of the Golden Then one night in April Wade .came home from a meeting at Morgan’s bearing news. Lora had gone to sleep, but his tap at her door woke her and she called to him to come in. Only embers burned on the hearth, but he knelt to renew the fire without lighting a candle. Lora lay beneath the covers-and waited till the fire was going and he had pulled up a hassock where he could stretch out his lame leg. Every now and then he came to her room like this to talk for a while and then went away again. Sometimes a sudden flare of lovemaking might follow, but more often not It was as though Wade were gradually comifig to accept her as a person in herself, instead of as a substitute or as an image he could put into Virginia’s place. Now he made love to her only when caught up in the old, dangerous make-believe, land she was relieved to find these times coming less often. She had an affection for him, yes. Perhaps even a growing affection, but it was not that of sweetheart for lover, or wife for husband. She still shrank within herself at his kisses and could only lie inert beneath his touch.
