GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER VXIV The taking of a breath was audible in the tense hush of the courtroom. Eyes brightly like electric lights on Sandy's face. They focused on her, tranced. No one I stirred; no ventured to speak, socomplete was the devouring eagerness with which glances flashed now to the witness chair, now to the defendant’s table. The glances of men and women flaming to catch every pulse of this drama. s Drama of a girl, pale and beautiful, and a. boy of 25 with brown head lowered, face pressed bitterly in his two palms. These two, who were young, had loved. There was tragedy because of this —death and tragedy. And the girl was saying; “Ah—l Bee: —I must tell it all.” She sat there with her hands clasped, her eyes cavernous and shadowed In the pearly whiteness of her face, the j red hair an aureole, and she spoke j with that note of soft, piercing ap-1 peal: “I see—l must tell it all —” as though she~wero given a sword, an unsheathed sword and knew that she must plunge it in her own heart —plunge It in quietly and to the hilt. “Yes, tell it all. You say the decreased, Ramon Worth, reproached you for going out with the defendant. He was away an entire year and on his return became bitterly exicited because you went out with another man? Yet he haa no claim on you?” "T’ll have to explain." I’fh'tiave to go back to the circumstances of our first acquaintance two and a half years ago? All began then—all this. Two and a half years ago in Honolulu I met Ramon. I was married at, this time. He kneW'.this. But he also learned I had gone away from my husband because of a great unhappiness; because of the terrible way my little baby died. “I object!” A table shoved angrily, the prosecuter stamping to his feet. “The proceedings Is irregular. This trial concerns the death of Ramon Worth. It has nothing to do with the death of an unknown child two and a half years ago. I ask that the testimony be stricken out; that the witness confine herself to the incident of the shooting and her participation in this.” The judge put up his hand. He turned gently to Sandy: “Has the death of your baby any bearing on this case?” 4 - ' “Yes! This whole thing begins with my marriage four years ago and the death of my little hoy a year later. Because of this, things between Ramon and me became what they were and because of this relationship. Ramon is dead ” “Then tell —briefly as you can—” She did. Simple words —words that had brought pictures filing with such harassing vividness through her own fevered brain all these weeks of the long, sleepless nights when she rehearsed her life for Judith. The pictures flashed through the courtroom now . . . a young girl In a brilliant Spanish shawl standing on a pier in the moonlight—wanting love —wanting beauty And one night, the night of her marriage, gazing at the moon,

NERVOUS, DIZZY AWFUL FEELING / .■ __ Georgia Lady Took Cardui and Says She Made “Marvelous” Progress.” Pains in Back Disappeared. “For days I would suffer with pains in my back and sides,” says Mrs. Nina Simmons, of Adel, Ga. ‘‘l could not sleep at night. I was nervous as a cat, and the worst thing of all was -pel's of dizziness which would come on me very suddenly. “I had three fainting spells and these scared me dreadfully. I felt awful. I tried a lot of different things, but nothing seemed to help me until I began taking Cardui. . . . *‘l soon began to improve. It is marvelous to me the progress I have made, t took Cardui for a year and I feel -vo a new woman. ’‘The pains in my back ni\d sides have disappeared, and I no longer have the dreaded dizzy spells. “I would tell all women suffering with such troubles to try this tonic. Asa tonic to build up health and strength I can give it high praise and am glad to do so.” Cardui has been found valuable In the treatment of many ailments from which women so % often suffer.

seeing the moon and all loVe, all beauty floating away In a golden mist— Suddenly the yearning for the child; the music and the sweetness of its coming. Its little cold body laid in her arms. Lying so cold; so very still because of that violent thing her husband did. Somewhere in the audience a woman cried out shiveringly: “The the brute!” ffhe prosecutor waved his fist. . . He objecting explosively. But at tnis, eyes blazed with antagonism. A man shouted: “Let her talk —let her tell it.” And Sandy with her two hands pressed against her chest, leaned forward fighting for breath. She said faintly: "Yes —please—hurry— I must hurry.” “Proceed., Tell oqtfy wha|t has bearing on thiq case. . . . only what has to do with the deceased your connection with him.” “I met him soon after this. . . .1 turned to him because vof this. . . I ran to him one night two years ago.” • • • There was the picture of the dinner—Murillo entering unexpectedly —Murillo hiding behind the portied. springing at her like a panther, striking her cruelly with his open hand across her cheeky “I had no place to go. Ramon loved me. I went to him. He was big and kind about It. He gave me his house to .live in. My husband wouldn’t release me. I could never be free. Ramon knew this. Yet he was good to me. In the end I took his love.” She said this with her lips quivering, her eyes raised beseechingly to the judge, “I took it.” Then she looked to the twelve men in the jury box" and repeated with a pitiful smiieT “So, do you see? That was the way It happened—l took it.” • • They looked abashed. They mopped their foreheads, trailing the handerkchiefs stealthely over their eyes. Judith, sitting nex£ to Douglas, pressed his arm. He turned a gray face to her, the face of one crucified. He tried to speak. She thought he said accusingly,' “You let her! Oh, Jude, you let her.” “Nothing could stop her.” Then Judith leaned down with infinite gentle love and added. “I had no right to stop her. This is the best thing Sandy has ever done, the best and truest. I’m so proud—l’m so glad.” ~He put hfs hands over his eyes. There was the night of Ramon’s farewell—the night in the rain when they stood in the grapevines—and within Sandy’s mother lay dying. They stood here bidding farewell. The water from his hair dripped to her face. But he said he would go—he would never trouble her again. A year and three months ago . . But he returned ... a month ago lie returned. He came that Saturday night. But it was Sunday when he talked) to her) . . . Sun-t day when he grew so bitterly excited because he saw her sttfmding at the door with Douglas . . . “I never dreamed he would come back. I was so stlre he had married. I was so sure he had found happiness. It was ten months since any letter, any word at all had come—“l didn’t know what to do ... . I tried tr> soothe him. The fever had wasted him so . . . the fever seemed reaching to his spirit—“Then he sent me this* letter — Monday hfe sent me this letter —I was afraid. I told Douglas, Ramon had returned. . . “But before I saw DougMs again, Ramon phoned. This was Monday night about 9 o’clock. He phoned His voice—it tpld me—told me what he was planning—the tone of it — the desperation of it. I pleaded with him .. . Then I went—l went bedau.se he seemed so to need me—because he had been so good' to me. I went ... I left a note for Douglas and went — • • • "He was whiter than flour—he swayed as he opened the door to me. He said: ‘Why did you come? . . . Now I must take you -with me .... Now we are going away together—you and / 1 —’ ” The two of them standing in each other's arms. She begging him to think —she caressing him. The pistol turned against her hreast. Thunder in her ears—thunder and terror—and a staggering flight across the room. Ramon following, Ramon sobbing: “Sandy—Oh. God—killed you—l’ve killed you—” Blackness and thunder In his heart. She found herself creeping along the floor —creeping and moaning. She saw a black shadow lying there —Ramon— That made her crjf .. >. She wanted to reach the door —Call ■someone in to hfilp him .„. . She reached the door. There was Douglas. He lifted her . . . "He came then—only then . . . and ho went over and kneeled at Ramon’s side and he said: 'Oh,good God!” “He went and kneeled again . . .

REASONS BACK OF FARM EXODUS ISSHOOT POLL Bread ants Butter, Abundantly and Regularly, Is Bait. Bu Times Svccial CHICAGO, Junv 4.—Bread and butteri abundantly and regularly, not fleeting pleasures among the gay vfchite lights, was the bait which lurdd more than 2,000,000 farmers to the city last year. The farmers themselves have supplied this answer to why the rural population is waving farewell to the plow and trekking cityward to enter new occupations. Since 1922 the gross movement ,from the farm to the city has been 2,000,000 a year, adbording to figures issued by the Department of Agriculture. .1,500,000 Return In 1925, 2,055,000 left the, farms, while 1,135,000 returned to agricul-' ture from other occupations. The natural Increaee In farm populations by bi,rth/J over deaths was 422,000,

leaving a net loss to rural population of nearly half a million. A Nation-wide taken by a large agricultural foundation here shows as the principal causes of the exodus that: The farmer is going broke; he must get to town where every member of the family can become a wage earner; taxes are high; prices for farm products are lfass than tho cost 6f production; he is discouraged by the slump which followed war prosperity; farm work is hard, the hours long, the return small and he sees no relief In sight. Leave Reluctantly ( ‘‘These farmers are leaving their land reluncttyUly ” said Samoel 75. Guard, director of the foundation which conducted the poll. “In ;ponse to our question,’’ if you could sell your present farm would you go into agriculture again?’ 61.6 per Cent said they would. The other 38.4 per cent answered that they "would go Into some other line of work.” The greatest- unrest, the poll Indicates, centers In the ndVthwest dairy section and the New England States, where 48 per cent evinced an eagerness to leave the farms for good if they could sell their land, wheat belt farmers appeared to be the most contented. Only 30 per cent there would prefer another occupation. ' In general the most contentment was noted In sections where prices for the principal products have been fair, ythe discontent and restlessness>fppeared to increase proportionately to the downward trend of prices. **
