CHAPTER XLVI She found one comparatively new. Some tenant probably had contributed it to Mrs. Speed’s collection. Teddy waited impatiently for the last peal of the organ on the Herald Angels and then put the precious niece on. “Driftwood from the ship of dreams Still drift back to me. All that’s left to me, it seems. Prom the used to be.” Little words of tenderness— The little sob sister hummed along with the tenor whose splendid voice the scratched surface of the record was reproducing with a nasal twang. It was May again and she was dancing at the County club with Don. A tenor in the orchestra was singing it. “It’s Driftwood’ they’re playing, isn’t it Don?” she was asking again above the din of the music and he was answering absently—“Yeh—good tempo.” “Ho, hum,” sighed Teddy, and then played the record again. She played it over and over again. The worn spring in the ancient machine gave out and Teddy was forced to quiet. Up in her room she went through her modest wardrobe trying to decide what she should wear the next day. If it turned out to be a nice day she would wear white, even if all the girls were wearing fall things. Teddy stuck to comfort, not custom. Before she put out the light she pressed her lips on the tiny clipped picture of Don. She fell almost immediately into an untroubled sleep. It was Tuesday afternoon. A janitor had been called to move back a few of the desks and tables in the editorial room. Pop had decided on this room instead of the directors’ room, because of its greater size. Chairs were placed in a semi-circle facing the copy table, which, for the occasion, had been converted into a

judiciary table. A swivel chair was set at its head. Here would preside Roger Brooks, apostle of civic virtue and author of vitriolic editorials inimical to the Ring and the Underworld. The hands of the clock pointed to the hour of 1 p. m. when the elevator door clicked open. Out into the corridor stepped the figure of a large man not unlike Roger Brooks in appearance with a leonine head and thick, white hair. It was Judge George Wharton of the Superior Court. He passed with firm steps into the publisher’s private office, greeting the latter with friendly cordiality. Two minutes afterward Henry Bolton, the district attorney of Catawba County, was admitted to the inner sanctum of the newspaper man. He was followed almost immediately by Donald Keene and Teddy Farrell. Don was carrying a black leather bag which he opened at once, taking from it the dictagraph that Teddy and he had installed in the office of Walden, Higgens <fc Walden. He placed the machine on Pop’s table and taking his little protege by the hand, he introduced her to Judge Wharton and the district attorney. “You’ll believe, your honor, I’m sure,” said Don, the familiar smile lighting up his rather pale face, “when I tell you this little woman is the ‘Star’ reporter of the Times, and about the best that ever worked on a newspaper.” The diminutive, boyish figure had stepped forward shyly. A pair of soft brown eyes met the curiosuly admiring gaze of the visitors. Teddy’s heart was pounding like a trip-hammer but outwardly she was as “cool” as the proverbial cucumber. Turning back to the instrument on the table, Don attached the cord and then screwed the plug into a baseboard socket. The machine at

AUTO DRIVERS WARNED ABOUT JULY4_ TRIPS Heavy Traffic Will Make Extra Precautions Necessary. B Washington, July l.—Because July Fourth traveling is expected to reach unprecedented volume the American Automobile Association today appealed to all motorists to employ maximum care to keep highway accidents to the minimum. The appeal is based on sad experiences of other years and contains these cautions: “Watch the side road and watch the grade crossing. “Make this a Safety Fourth; the occasion provides the motorists with a ready-made opportunity to demonstrate in a practical fashion their interest in public safety. They should make up their minds before leaving home that they will encounter heavy congestion, and forewarned should mean fore-armed. Many Green Drivers “There will be many factors in the situation over July 4 that call for the maximum of safe-playing. There will be the usual crop of inexperienced drivers, who seldom get behind the wheel except on holidays. “More trains will be running and the hundreds of additional excursion trains will render caution at grade crossings doubly imperative. More children will be on the streets and everywhere the motorist will encounter picnic parties shooting out of lanes and secondary roads. “Start early if you must reach your destination at a certain hour and thus eliminate the necessity of fast driving. “Keep to your own side of the road. Horn at the top of hills and at turns where vision is obstructed.

The lllustrati o n above points out In detail the many exceptional characterist Ic s os this fine Scooter. Note how It Is constructed a t every point to Insure safety.

Turn into a side road when making repairs, and don’t park on the traveled portions of rural highways. Daytime Dangerous “Familiarize yourself with traffic regulations in cities and towns which you plan to pass through. "Remember that more accidents occur in open country than on city streets, and that there are more of them in dalylight than at night. “Don’t exceed a speed of 25 miles an hour on strange roads after dark. Failure to apply this rule causes many collisions with cars coming out of side roads and lanes, journeying home from picnic parties. “Be especially vigilant late in the afternoon when people are becoming tired* and less wary. “Inspect your car, don’t go unprepared; see that everything is shipshape.” More Study German Bu United Press BLOOMINGTON, Ind., July I.
