ORESTES, her nephew—young enough to be a reformer; old enough to have ambitions. ETEONEUS, gate-keeper by calling; philosopher by instinct; moralist by observation. ADRASTE. handmaiden and friend to Helen; scandal to most everybody els*. CHARITAS, the lady next door. DAMASTOR. a boy who strayed from the family doorstep. Arriving back in Sparta with his runaway wife, Menelaos re-establishes Helen In his home much to the amazement of all the neighbors and his own domestics. Helen calls on her next-door neighbor, Charitas. Real “news” is scarce in Sparta and Charitas is thrilled at the prospect of getting Helen's story first-hand. . NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY “Adraste will wait at the end of the garden,” said Helen. “But now she’s gone, I must say, Charitas, I see no point in whispering. If it’s unmentionable, don't let’s say it.” “Dear Charitas, I mentioned your son only because you did, and I wished him a happy fate. You, it seems to me, expressed distrust of him, and before the girl. She hasn’t lost her heart to your description. You really ought to send him. over to our house some day soon, to prove he’s more of a man than you’ve tried to make him. I’m curious to see the boy.” “He’s been there several times recently, to see Hermione,” said Charitas. “I couldn’t say it before your servant, but I’d be well satisfied if he cares for Hermione. No one could breathe a word against her.” “Does she happen to be interested in Damastor?” said Helen. “Her father always wanted her to marry her cousin Orestes.” “She never mentioned Orestes to me,” said Charitas, “nor my son either, I must say. Come to think of it, she’s talked chiefly about you. She explained it all, and I must say she took a weight off my mind.” “What did she explain? What was en yoir mind?” “It seems silly to be telling you, Helen—l’d rather have you tell me what happened. But you know, we thought you just ran away with Paris, until Hermione explained that he took you against your will, and robbed Menelaos of some furniture and altogether showed himself for what he was—a low character.” “Charitas, you really didn't believe Hermione?” said Helen. “Certainly I did! It was entirely plausible, and for * your sake I wanted to believe it.” “Well, then, let me correct your eror,” said Helen. “I loved Paris dearly. He never would have taken me away if I hadn’t wanted to go. And he didn't steal the furniture. Some pieces did disappear, I understand, in the confusion, but they must be here somewhere in Sparta; Paris took nothing to Troy—except me.” “Oh. Helen, don’t tell me that,” said Charitas. “I can’t believe it as I look at you. You look so—so innocent! And for you to contradict the creditable story yourself.” ’ “T\at you, dear Charitds, for saying I look innocent. lam innocent. That is, of everything except love. That'' is, of everything except love. Now if I allowed you to believe that shabby story I should be shirking the blame for all the wretchedness at Troy. To deny it would be to deny myself—to exist o ily in falsehood.” “For goodness’ sake, Helen,” said Charitas, “I’ll go mad with your reasoning. You want the world to know you caused the wretchedness at Troy, and you want us to think you’re as innocent as you look. What’s your idea of innocence?” “Here is my account of my innocence,” said Helen. "I am used to having men fall in love with me. but I never wanted them to, and I never flirted with a man in my life. Against my will I fell in love with Paris. It just happened to me. But I could be sincere—that at least was in my choice. Since love had befallen me, I saw it through to the end. Charitas, sincerity was the one virtue I salvaged out of the madness, and I kept a little intelligence, too—l had enough wit to know that the end would be bad. -I was deserting my child; what would happen to her character, growing up alone, and .with such an example? I was sure the Trojans would repudiate Paris and me, else there would be war. But instead the Trojans welcomed me. When the war was going Og wrong way for them, they said more than once that it was worth it, just to have me with them. Charitas, a woman who does a wrong she feels she can not help, yet expects to suffer for it, and is ready to pay the penalty as though it were altogether her fault —such a woman, in my opinion, is moral far above the average. I am proud of my willingness to pay for what others suffered from my misfortune. Without that moral clarity, 'l could have no peace of mind. From the beginning of the

siege, I could guess our people would win, and of course Menelaos would kill me. But instead he brought me home. Perhaps I’m to suffer exquisitely now through my neglected daughter, who has grown up to have a respectable and dishonest imagination. Had I been here, I should-have taught her to love the truth.” CHAPTER V “How good of you, Helen, to return my call so promptly,” said Charitas. “Just as soon as I heard of your unexpected return, I went right over to your house. There’s so much I want to hear. The other side of the garden is shaded—we’ll go ever. Helen, your servant can wait outside with the sun-shade — you won’t need it.” “She may stay with me,” said Helen. “Adraste and I get on well together.”“Oh, Helen, how beautiful she is! What an amazing person you are, to keep a beautiful girl like that in the house.” “I have no prejudice against beauty,” said Helen. •“Well, perhaps your husband isn’t susceptible, and you haven't a son to worry you. My boy Damastor — you don’t remember him, of course —is handsome as Apollo, and he loves everything beautiful. It’s terrible. I’ve tried to keep his mind occupied, and there are not many occasions in Sparta.”' “You’re afraid,” said Helen, “that if he saw a beautiful girl he’d fall in love with her?” “Well, you know what I mean,” said Charitas. “I want him to be a credit to his bringing up, and fall in love at the right time with the right girl. You and I know that beauty often leads to entanglements with the inexperienced.” “If often leads to love, I believe,” said Helen, "and in the presence of great bueaty all men seem to be inexperienced. There isn’t enbugh of it, I suppose to get used to. You wish your boy to be respectable—fall in love with a plain woman? Or entirely conventional—marry one he doesn’t love at all?” “How cynical It has made you.” “It isn’t cynical—it’s merely honest,” said Helen. “You know as well as I that it’s quite proper to marry someone you respect but don’t love. Society never will ostracize you for it. And you know it’s getting into the realm of romance when you really lose your heart to your mate, even’though he or she isn’t beautiful. That’s more than respectable—it’s admirable. Something like that, I understand, you dream of for your boy.” “That doesn’t quite cover my point of view,” said Charitas. , “No, it doesn’t quite cover mine, either,” said Helen. “I ought to add that those two formulas, love without beauty and marriage without love, though they are respectable and conventional, are also very dangerous.*’ Rare as beauty is, you can’t prevent it from coming your way, and if you see it you must love it.” “I don’t know that you must,” said Charitas; “some of us have previous obligations.” “If you’ve never given yourself to beauty,” said Helen, “there are no previous obligations.” “Then you wouldn’t try to stop a boy from falling-in love with the first beautiful girl he sees?” “I’d try to prevent him from falling in love with any other,” said Helen, “and when the beautiful girl arrives it’s his duty to love her. He probably will, anyway, whether or not he has contracted obligations with the respectable homely, and I’d rather have him free and sincere. The very way you are going at it, Charitas, you will make your boy ashamed to love beauty, and he’ll pursue it in some treacherous, cowardly fashion. Your ambition to keep him respectable may prevent him from being moral.” “Would you mind Adraste’s waiting at the other end of the garden?” said Charitas. “There are one or two things I’d like to whisper to you.” “ (To Be Continued) Copyright, 1925, by tfce Bobbs-Merrlll Company.

AIR CONQUEST OF SEA ENDED BY BYRD’S HOP Hu United Prrss WASHINGTON. July I.—Though strictly speaking he failed his pur--pose—that of landing in Paris— Commander Richard Byrd was hailed by experts here today as definitely having completed the conquest of the air for practical purposes. The skill with which he prepared his trans-Atlantic flight, the very nature of his difficulties, and the fact that he “came through” in a specially provided rubber boat after alighting at sea—all these made his attempt of historic and scientific valuee, it was 'said. While the previous trans- Atlantic flights of Lindbergh and Chamberlin were more in the nature of “stunts,” the Byrd flight was of a practical nature, the plane carrying four passengers and keeping in touch with the world at all times by radio. The scientific data secured by Byrd is expected to be most valuable in planning future transoceanic flying, whether it be by airplane or dirigible, which some experts consider best for ocean air travel. Byrd had bad weather practically his whole route, but was able to make his way through it by information furnished by radio, turning south from England when advised of storms there. Naval officials stress the flight’s demonstration of the reliability of the air-cooled engine and of the effectiveness of radio in transoceanic air travel. Byrd’s radio, operating on 690 meters; established 1,000 miles daylight range communication with Roosevelt Field and a range of 1,600 miles night communication with the Radio Corporation of America. By it the America obtained numerous radio compass bearings. Capt. T. T. Craven, chief of naval communications, pointed out that radio apparatus, like the air-cooled motor, is being so developed that high power is being obtained by less and less weight, so that sets light enough for airplane use will be perfected in the future permitting direct communication with land all the way across the Atlantic, Assistant Secretary Warner, In charge of aviation, said that the provisions made by Byrd for sure navigation and for keeping constantly in communication, “mark it definitely as another step toward the safe and regular employment of aircraft over long stretches of sea, pot as a single bold adventure, but is a normal incident of normal operation in the service of mankind.” HURRYING BOY KILLED Terre Haute Lad, Eager to Begin Fishing, Struck by Truck.

DUVALL TO BE TRIED SEPT. 12; MOTION FAILS Attempt to Quash Three Corruption Complaints Is Defeated. Special Criminal Court Judge Cassius C. Shirley Friday overrule motions to quash three of the corruption probe charges against Mayor John L. Duvall and set Sept. 12 for trial of the mayor. Prosecutor William H. Remy will select which of the three affidavits affected today's ruling will be tried first. Defense Attorney Michael Ryan waived arraignment for Duvall and entered pleas of not guilty. The defense motions to quash overruled by Judge Shirley were'on affidavits charging perjury, making a false affidavit and violation of the corrupt practice act. All are based on charges that Duvall in his statement of primary expenses did not list a $14,500 gift of William H. Armitage, Shank administration political boss, and'that he promised Armitage the right to dictate appointments of several city positions. / Shirley read a long statement on legal points making his ruling. Referring to the motion to quash the perjury indictment his ruling was made with “very serious mental reservations,” he said. The motions to quash asserted facts in the affidavits were not sufficient to show crime, misdemeanor or public offense. Remy informed the judge the State was ready to proceed to trial at once. “It ought to be. You’ve been investigating for a year,” said Ryan, and asked the trial be set for September or October. Shirleye asked Remy if the State desired to try all three cases or would pick one for trial first. Remy declared the State would select one and notify the court “in ample time.” USE OF PARKS URGED Official Tells How City May Keep Cool. Keep cool in Indianapolis parks and pools!

NEGROES WIN SCHOOL FIGHT Segregation Ruling Is Held Against Law. Bu United Press TRENTON, N. J., July 2.—Classification of pupils by groups ftiust be on grounds other then religion, nationality or color, Dr. John Logan, State commissioner of education, ruled in ordering reinstatement in the school at Thoms River of Negro children, who had been put in a special class at South Toms River. Negro residents of Berkeley and Dover Townships, Ocean County, had protested against the segregation of their children. So intense was the feeling aroused by the action of the county school authorities that the case was carried to the Supreme Court, and was brought to the attention of the Legislature, by Senator Alexander Simpson of Hudson, who submitted a bill prohibiting such segregation. The measure died in committee and the decision of the Supreme Court had not yet been handed down.

GOVERNMENT'S OFFICE COSTS PARED TO RONE Even Rubber Bands and Envelopes Used /(gain and Again. Bu United press WASHINGTON. July 2.—“ The Loyal Order of Woodpeckers”— Uncle Sam's economy fraternity—has saved the' government several million dollars in the last year by thrift and efficiency. Under the guilding eye of the Budget and Efficiency Bureaus, federal employes have saved supplies, utilized equipment to the utmost, and labored with as little lost motion as possible. Sale of surplus government supplies brought in hundreds of thousands of dollars. It was stated at the Treasury. Much of these materials had been rotting or rusting away from non-use. Pay Phones Installed Then the government gained quite a profit through telephone coinboxes in departmental buildings. By a working agreement with the telephone ’company, Treasury collected a portion of the receipts from coin slots while Federal phones could not be used for personal calls. Many departments economized by personal cuts. In many instances high-salaried employes who resigned were replaced by employes at much lower salaries. Running the government costs four billion dollars annually and because of this huge outlay no economy, no matter how small, could be overlooked. Paper-Clips “Worn Thin” Rubber-bands were used over and over until Postmaster General New exclaimed he could get some of his around a bass drum. The Agriculture Depp.•’.Vent even used its pay envelopes over ago in. Employes when paid returned the envelopes, thus saving the container and also the labor of typing the name of the receiver on each enmore. At the Commerce Department paper clips were used until they were “worn thin.” KIDS ENJOY ‘SHOWERS' Firemen Carry Out Times’ Idea for Children. Gingham dresses, ragged clothes and sometimes just “undies” replace bathing suits at the daily sprinkle for children at Indianapolis fire engine houses. The “fire hose showers” ordered Thursday by Mayor Duvall on suggestion of The Times have proven popular. Firemen turn the hose on children from 3:30 to 4:30 ppm. and 7 to 7:30 p. m. Streets were roped off at several fire houses, to make safer conditions for the children.
