A threat from Bertie worries Sonia. After a wonderful dav wtih Sonia at Pirate's Cove. Crane admits he loves her. but is afraid their happiness CfJtnot last. CHAPTER XVIII Sonia sat at her desk, In the Thomas real estate office, like a queen on her throne. She would not have exchanged places with any monarch in the world that morning. Love had budded within her heart. The future had infinite possibilities. What was a crown compared to the white fire of her lover’s kiss. He had promised to come to her desk, so after 9:30 her fingers worked mechanically. Her mind was on the stairs which he would presently climb to her balcony. Not like Juliet’s, but in spite of the frigidity of the real estate office, it had become scented and haunted with romance. Presently came steps, quick and firm. She bent lower over her figures. Then when he had stopped she threw back her head, and saw Walter Henderson. He received the full benefit of the tender, love-lit message in her eyes. “You look like a million dollars this morning, Sonia.” She smiled, for she really liked this distinguished, older, man. ‘‘l feel like a couple of million.” "Any particular reason?” "Just glad to be alive, that’s all.” He lowered his voice. “Will you have dinner with me again tomorrow night?” Her narrowed to conceal her precious secret. / "I’m so sorry, but I have an engagement." At that moment Crane came bounding up the stairs. At sight of Walter Henderson his face red dened. Before Sonia could smile Os Include him In the conversation he turned to Maxine, Inquired about an account, and hurried away. “The next night, then?” persisted Henderson. “Oh, no,” snapped Sonia, angry with the innocent cause of her lover’s disappearance. Then to the hurt look In his eyes, she replied, “I have to stay home every night this week and sew." “Oh, that’s It? For a moment I thought you were angry.” She had herself in hand now. "Certainly not, Mr. Henderson. I enjoyed our evening together immensely. Perhaps I can go another time.” As the hours passed, her anger with Henderson changed into resentment against Crane. Why should he misunderstand another man's speaking to her? But her heart pleaded for him. Perhaps Henderson’s demeanor had been a shade too interested, his low, voice the leat bit too solicitous. By noon her resentment was only pain. But she went to lunch with Maxine and passed his desk with oi\ly a formal nod. He did not come near her again

SHE HAD DREADFUL STOMACH; TAKES PAYNE’S SPLENDID HERB TONIC; IS RELIEVED Senate Avenue Woman Had Tried Many Different Kinds of Treatments Without Avail; Declares Husky Helped Right From the Very Start.

Scores of People in All Parts of Indianapolis Obtain Equally Good Results. Haag's and Other Well-Known Druggists Recommending It. Here is another Instance in which “Husky” the root, bark and herb tonic that is being introduced here by A. G. Payne, health director from Lexington, Ky., gave relief after all other treatments failed. Mr. Payne has published many articles regarding the use of roots, barks and herbs and he has lectured to more people than any man in the country relative to the treatment for stomach, kidney and liver ailments. Among scores of Indianapolis people who have told their experiences with “Husky” is Mrs. Elizabeth Gallagher, 525 S. Senate Ave. She says: “Before I took Husky I felt tired all of the time. Jr had a dreadful stomach. The gas that formed in my stomach after eating almost shut off my breath. I had sharp, shooting pains in my stomach. My nerves almost collapsed. When I gift up in the morning I was so tired that I could hardly go ahead with my housework. 1 had no energy whatever. "I read about Mr. Payne being at Haag’s drug store. I called on him. I tried his medicine and now I want to say that I feel perfectly splendid. “I luive taken several bottjfes and my stfimach and nerves are 4 acting

all day. That night when she was sitting dully alone by the open fire the door bell rang. Maxine was out. She flew to answer it, every n%rve tingling. But it was Walter Henderson again. And her disappointment was so evident that he was puzzled. "Evidently It’s the wrong* man?" he said, without offering to enter. “I happened to be over thisjAy and thought I’d run in a mofWmt. But if you’re expecting someone else "I’m not,” protested Sonia. "I expect to be alone all evening. Come in. I’m as cross as a bear.” "That's an enticing invitation." He dropped his coat and hat upon a chair. And taking both her hands, asked, "Sonia, you are unhappy about something. Yet just this morning you were sitting on the world.” Tears came to her eyes. | "Life hasKguch a way of jabbing at yotv in anew spot every time.” He patted her shoulder. "What a child you are. ' I’ll bet your heart is broken over something that isn't worth a single tear. Did the new dress turn out wrong?” Sonia remembered that she had told him she was sewing. He sat down beside her on the cushioned davenport, still questioning. "Won’t you tell me?” "Nothing to tell,” lied Sonia. “Let’s have a cigaret, then, and forget all about it.” As she held hers to him for a light he took the slender hand and laid it across his own. "That little hand should.wear diamonds, my dear.” “Emeralds,” she corrected. "To be sure. Emeralds to match your eyes,” She drew her hand away. "I’m waking for a light, kind sir.” Vou shall have it right now. Let’s turn off the lights and smoke in the firelight.” "No,” demurred Sonia. “Why not? The fire means so much more In a dark room.” Realizing the truth of this she permitted him to turn off the dim lamps. The’ firelight closed about them like an intimate third person, who put both hands in theirs, drawing them closer. “And so you’ve dreamed of 'emeralds on your white hands?” "How did you know?” "By the quickness of your response just now. Tell me the rest of your dream, Sonia.” "It seems rather childish,” she admitted. "Tell me anyway.” "Sonia dancing,” she faltered, "in a silver gown ...” "That wasn’t all of It?” "But it was. Vague like that. Just to be happy and dancing. But that was before I came to San Francisco. I know now that It would take more than a silver gown and emeralds to make me happy.” “Where did you attain all that wisdom, my precocious one?” “Y'ou’re laughing at me,” said Sonia, suspiciously. “No I’m not! I’m asking because I’m interested.” "Well, 'I shan’t tell you. I’m no sentimental young person, spilling all her little .secrets to an amused big man.” “What a nasty temper - you have, Sonia.” “Granted!" Tho tone was exactly his own. He laughed. “What about all those Ideas of freedom and sovon that you were telling me fbout before?” “I’m still in favor of them.”

fine. I don’t suffer any more with gas on my stomach. I don’t have that tired, worn out feeling and I am not nervous like I was. "I am so much stronger that I can do my housework with a will. I can truthfully say that Husky is a wonderful medicine and I am glad to publicly remommend it.” Every person who does not feel right should call on Mr. Payne. Either he or his private secretary will be at Haag’s Drug Store, 114 N. Penna St., to talk to Those who do not find it convenient to call on Mr. Payne may obtain Husky at any well stocked drug store anywhere.—Advertisement, v

“Y6u believe in living your life 5 your own way?” “1 certainly do.” He put his arm about her. "Don’t pull away from me. Am 1 absolutely so repulsive to you?” “Y'ou aren’t repulsive to me at She wriggled away from him. "I just don’t want you to." “But why not? You don’t object i’or any moral reason?” “No.” "And you admit you like me?” “I like you awfully well.” "Then why won’t you let me put my arm around you?” How could she explain to him that after Crane's arms, any other embrace was distasteful to her? Imwith the futility of trying to make herself clear to him, she rose and tossed her clgaret into the fire. He seized her and drew her down again. “Sonia, it’s because you’re a good.. Tittle girl, that’s why.” Sonia was annoyed. “It is not. If I wanted you to I’d let you kiss me in a minute.” “Then I shall kiss you right now.” “No! Please!” He released her, slowly. "It beats me how a really experienced girl will profess her innocense and the babies like you will strut around bqasting your vaunted knowledge.” "I don’t,” denied Sonia, perched on the arm of a chair across the rc< m, “boast about anything.” "Oh, yes, you do!” His voice was touched with bitterness. “You told me how everyone in Stockton thought you were bad. You admit that you like me, but not so much as a kiss do I get in proof. If you Ehink you’re going to make a fool out of me, you’re mistaken. I’m not that kind, Sonia.” “I think you’re horrid,” Sonia said, reproachfully. “I haven't tried to lead you on or pretend anything. I merely accepted your invitation to dance as it was giVfen to me. I didn't know there were any hidden clauses in the contract.” "There were hidden promises in your eyes.” "That’s not true,” she flared. “If you feel that way about it I certainly will not go out with you again. And you were one man T really respected.” “An old line, my dear. Your game is deeper than I thought. But I’m through.” . A really puzzled Sonia sat by the fire when he had gone. \ (To Be Continued)

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

INDIANA TEACHERS FIGHT FOR TENURE (Continued From Page 1) out adequate cause and proper hearing. Eleven States already have such a tenure provided under legislation and Indiana should take steps to bring It about at the next session of the Legislature. President Whitacre contends. At the 1925 session of the association a resolution was passed pro viding for appointment of a committee to study teacher tenure. Its report will be submitted. “I have heard of a case right here in Indiana,” said President Whitacre, "where a board of trustees dis charged a perfectly competent teacher, and when asked the reason the president of the board declared that he had a nephew who wasn’t any good for anything else, so he gave him the job of teaching. Should Remedy Condition "Surely such a condition should be remedied, not only for the sake of the teacher, but for the sake of the school and the pupils. "This year new boards of trustees take office, and in some districts there will be a wholesale slaughter of teachers from their jobs. The remedy, of course, is proper legislative protection.” Meetings Throughout Day Sectional meetings of teachers were held throughout the day. Politics of the convention was to be given its first inning at 4 p. m., when teachers were to assemble af Cadle tabernacle and choose representatives for the nominating committee. These are chosen according to congressional districts. The committee will meet at 8 a. m. Friday at the Claypool to select a slate. The general election will be hel| at Cadle tabernacle at 11 a. m. Friday. With two exceptions, it has been customary in the past to accept the nom lnatlons of the committee. The bylaws provide, however, that nominations may be made from the floor. Four city school superintendents are in the presidential .race. They are E. U. Graff, Indianapolis; L. C. Ward, Ft. Wayne; W. a. Denny, Anderson, a.nd C. W. Bloucher. Boom for the latter was registered at a luncheon in his honor held at the Lincoln this noon. All former students and friends of Mr. and Mrs.

Bloucher were invited to attend. Political wiseacres were predicting the election of Ward, however. He is a member of the State hoard of education and lias a large follow ing. The first general meeting of the convention will be at Cadle Tabernacle at 7:30 p. m- There will be music by an all State high school chorus, under direction of Ernest Hesser, supervisor of music in In dlanapolls schools, and Reginald Brinklow, music supervisor of Gosh en schools. The meeting will be called to order by Dr. William P Dearing, retiring president; Dr. W. A. Shulienberger, pastor of Central Christian Church, will pronounce the invocation; President Martha A. Richmond, will deliver her inaugural address, and Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, New York City, will speak on "World Peace and Justice.” Committees will be announced. The County Superintendents’ Association closed its annual session Wednesday night, after holding meetings throughout the day. Members indorsed a recommendation of the legislative committee making It compulsory for township trustees to provide transportation for high school pupils living more than two miles from the school building. This to already effective for grade pupils. They also adopted a system of standard examinations for pupils graduating from the eighth grade. A meeting of the Indiana State Teachers Association executive committee, held at the Lincoln Wednesday night, passed a resolution condemning efforts to enroll teachers in a buying organization as unauthorized and the printing of the program by any but the regular association as unofficial. It was pointed out that a commercial organization hqd entered this field as a method of advertising and offering discounts. CHICKEN THIEF SHOT So Says Owner* of Hen House, Who Scared Two Away. Two would-be chicken thieves escaped Wednesday night after attempting to make away ’with fowls at the home of John Brown, 548 Udell St., but Brown, who discovered the two and fired at one of them, believes he shot the man. Brown heard a commotion in his hen house about 7 p. m. and discov ered the two, both white men. The first escaped, but he shot at the second, carrying a sack. Later he found the sack, containing four fowls, in a neighbor's yard.
