NO BODY’S GIRL GAJZrANNC AU/~TIN PENNY PRINCE/T < * > C B°Y P NEA S SL R VMC £ 8

THIS HAS HAPPENED Juat before SAIXY FORD, 16, who knows no other home but the State orphange from the time she is 4, prepares to go to CJLEM CARSON’S farm to work for the summer, she persuades MISS POND, sentimental office helper, to tell her about her mother. The girl is crushed to learn her mother has never returned after placing her in the orphanage. Sally goes to her new home with crushed pride. There she sees a handsi me young man whom they call DAVID and who she learns is a student of scientific farming and star athlete, working during the summer months. In the house she meets PEARL, the gaudily dressed, pampered daughter of the Carsons. Pearl crudely warns Sally, "Hands off David—he's mine!' After supper Pearl begs David.to ,loin a party of dancers who are coming to the farm house, but he declines. When Sally hears the dancers downstairs later in the eevning. she is seized with a sudden desire to join them and. donning her best dress, tiptoes to the stairs. There her courage fails. She hears a voice behind her: “Want to dance? She turns. It is David. ...... NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY * CHAPTER VII AT 11 o'clock that Saturday night Sally Ford blew out the flame in the small kerosene lamp—the electric light wires had not been brought to the garret—and then knelt beside the low cot bed to pray, as she had been taught to do in the orphanage. After she had raced mechanically through her childish “Now-I-lay-me,” she lifted her small face, that gleamed pearly-white in the faint moonlight, and, clasping her thin little hands tightly, spoke in a low, passionate voice directly to God. whom she imagined bending His majestic head to listen: “Oh, thank you, God, for making David like me, and for letting me dance with him. And if dancing is a sin, please forgive me, God, for I didn’t mean any harm. And please make Pearl not hate me so much just because David is sweet to me. She has so many friends and a father and mother and a grandmother and a nice home and so many pretty clothes, while I haven’t anything. Make her feel kinder toward me, dear God. and I'll work f.o hard and be so good! And please, God, keep my heart and body pure, like Mrs. Stone says.” Lying in bed, covered only with the scant night-gown she had brought from the orphanage, Sally did not feel the oppressive heat nor the hardness and lumpiness of her corn-shuck mattress. For she was reliving the hour she had roent in the Carson living room, sponsored by a stern-faced David vho seemed determined to force Pearl and her giggling, chattering friends to accept the timid little orphans as an equal. She felt again the pain in her heart at their veiled insults, thendeliberate snubs, the concentrated fury that gleamed at her from Pearl’s pale blue eyes. But again, as during that hour, the hurt was healed by the blessed fact of David’s championship. She lay very still to recapture the bliss of David’s arm about her waist, as he whirled her lightly in a fox trot, the music for which came so mysteriously from a little box with dials and a horn like a phonograph. She heai-d again his precious compliment, spoken loudly enough for Pearl to hear: “You're the best dancer I ever danced with, Sally. I'm going to ask you to the Junior Prom next year.”

Os course he had danced with Pearl, too, and with the other girls, who had made eyes at- him and angled for compliments on their own dancing. When he danced with Pearl, her husky young body pressed closely against his, her finger-tips audaciously brushed the golden crispness of his hair. She had even tried to dance cheek-to-cheek with David, but he had held back stiffly. The other boys-—Ross Willis and Purdy Bates—had not asked Sally to dance with them, after Pearl had whispered half-audible, fierce commands; but their rudeness had no power to still the little song of thanksgiving that trilled in her heart, for always David came back to her, looking glad and relieved, and it was with her that David sat between dances, talking steadily and entertainingly, to hide her shy silence. She sighed in memory, a quivering sigh of pure pleasure, when she lived again the minutes in the kitchen when she and David had washed glasses and plates, while the others danced in the parlor. They had not returned, but together had slipped up the ba?* stairs to the garret, David bidding her a cheerful good-night as he turned into his own room to study for an hour before going to bed. She had learned, during those talks with David, that he was 20 years old; that he had completed two years’ work in the State agricultural and mechanical college; that he was working summers on farms as much for the practical experience as for the money earned, for his ambition was to be a scientific farmer, so that he might make the most of the farm which he would some day inherit from his grandfather. His grandfather's

POOR FIELD CAN BE IMPROVED Damaged Wheat May Still Yieid Valuable Crop. Farmers should not be in too great a hurry to abandon wheat fields that have been winter damaged, Director G. I. Christie of the Purdue agricultural extension department, and Prof. A. T. Wiancke. chief of agronomy, advised today upon request of the Indiana Farm Bureau. “Many a poor looking prospect, at this time of the year, may still make a reasonable crop,” they declare. With much damage over a j large portion of the soft-wheat terj ritory, this year’s crop is likely to i bring a higher price. “Much can be done to help a poor ! prospect by a top dressing of 100 j pounds per acre of nitrate of soda ! or sulphate of ammonia.” THEATER BOMBING CASE MAY BE NEAR SOLUTION Hammond Authorities Aiding Fire Marshal’s Trobe. United Press HAMMOND, Ind„ March 22. ; Hammond’s most baffling mystery, ! the burning of the state theater last November, has developed several new clews which brought Elmer Vrooman, deputy State fire marshal here recently. He will retun soon to continue his investi- ; gation. Vrooman refused to divulge any of the details of the case further i than to say that he was working on a promising angle which might lead to a solution. Police Chief Emil A. Bunde, Ham- ; mond, and Sandor Singer, member j of the Hammond detective squad, are aiding Vrooman. The theater was damaged by a powerful bomb, causing damage es- | timated at $500,000. It has been closed since that time. No plans have been announced for reconI struction. During the past five months all angles investigated by the authorities have proved fruitless. Hundreds of theories have been advanced, but one by one all have been abandoned.

place adjoined the Carson farm, but it was being worked “on shares” by a large family of brothers, who had no need for David’s labor in the summer. She knew, too. from his merest replies to questions asked by Ross Willis and Purdy Bates, that David was a star athlete; that he had already won his letter in football and that he had been boxing champion of the sophomore class. Marvelous David! “But he likes me,” Sally exulted. ‘He likes me better than Pearl or Bessie Coates or Sue Mullins. I suppose,” she added honestly, “he’s sorry for me because I’m an orphan and Pearl has it ‘in’ for me, but I don’t care why he’s nice to me, just so he is.” The radio music stopped at halfpast eleven. Soon afterward Sally heard the shouted good nights of Pearl’s guests: “We had a swell time, Pearl!” “Don't forget. Pearl! Our house tomorrow night!” “See you at Sunday school. Pearl, and bring David with you! Some sheik! Oh, Mama! But watch out for that baby-faced orphan. Pearl! She’s got her cap set for him and she’ll beat your time, if you don't look out!” Sally feft her face flame with shame and anger. Why clid girls and boys have to be so nastyminded? she asked herself on a sob. Why couldn’t they let her and David be friends without thinking things like that? Why. David was so—so wonderful! He wouldn’t “look” at a frightened little girl j from an orphans’ home! No girl was good enough for David Nash, she told herself fiercely. The next morning Pearl failed to entice David into going to church and Sunday school with her, and Sally was left alone to prepare the j STRESSES PICKLE CROP Plymouth Kiwanis Club Speaker Urges $500,000 Production.

He will get the price his contract calls for.” | Bechtel declared that the farmer j takes no risks or makes no invest- j ments in pickles and therefore he j is safe. Two Hoosiers Honored SPRINGFIELD.

TAKE SALTS IF RHEUMATISM IS BOTHERING YOU Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Take Salts to Get Rid of Toxic Acid. Rheumatism is no respecter of age, sex, color or i - ank. If not the ] most dangerous of human afflic- j tions it is one of the most painful. Those subject to rheumatism should j eat no sweets for awhile, dress as j warmly as possible, avoid any undue ! exposure and above all, drink lots of; pure water. Rheumatism is caused by uric acid j or body waste material, and is often generated in the bowels and ab- ] sorbed into the blood. It is the function ol the kidneys to filter this poison from the blood and cast it i cut in the urine; the pores of the ] skin are also a means of freeing the i blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores ! are closed, thus forcing the kidneys I to do double work; they become] weak and sluggish and fail to elim- , inate this toxic acid, which j keeps accumulating and circulating ] through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles,! causing stiffness, soreness and pain, j called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoonful in a glass of water and ] drink before breakfast each morn- j ing for a week. This is helpful to ; neutralize acidity, remove waste and j stimulate the kidneys, thus helping to rid the blood of these rheumatic poisons. Jad Salts is inexpensive and is j made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, | and is used with excellent results by ] thousands of folks who are subject! to rheumatism.—Advertisement. j

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

big Sunday dinner—Mrs. Carson having gone to church in spite of her Saturday determination not to. David came smiling into the kitvhen, immaculate in a white shirt and well-fitting gray flannel trousers, a book in his hand, a pipe in his mouth. “Mind if 1 study out here on the kitchen porch?” he asked Sally, his hazel eyes brimming with friendliness. “I like company and my garret room’s hot as an inferno.” “I’d love to have you,” Sally told him shyly. “I’ll try not to make any noise with the cooking utensils.” ‘‘Oh, I don’t mind noise,” he laughed. “Fact is, I wish you’d sing. I'll bet you can sing like a bird. Your voice sings even when you're talking. And any woman—” a delicate compliment that “can work better when she's singing.” And so Sally sang. She sang Sunday school songs, because it was Sunday. It was sweet to be alone in the kitchen, with David so near, his crisp, golden-brown head bent over his book, smoke spiraling lazily from his pipe. The old grandmother, looking very tiny and old-fashioned in rustling black taffeta, had gone to church, too leading her middle-aged half-wit son by the hand. Benny had stra.ned at his mother's hand, trying to get loose so that he could kiss Sally and show her his bright red necktie, at which the fingers of his free hand plucked excitedly. As she remembered those vacant, grinning eyes, that slack, grinning mouth. Sally's song changed to a heart-felt paean of thanksgiving; “Count your blessings! Name them one by one. Count your many blessings— See what God hath done!” Oh, she was blessed! she had a good mind; sometimes she was pretty; she could dance and sing; children liked her—and David, David! Poor half-wit Benny, whose only blessings were a dim little old mother and anew red necktie! But wasn’t a mother—even an old, old toother, whose own eyes were vague, such a big blessing that she made up for nearly everything else that God could give? But she resolutely banished the ache in her heart-—an ache that contracted it sharply every time she thought of the mother she had never known—and began to sing again: “I think when I read that sweet story of old. When Jesus was here among men. How He called little children as lambs to His fold—” The opening and closing of the door startled her. David was there, smiling at her. “Won't you sing ’Always’ for me, Sally? It's anew sofig, just out. It goes something like this;” And

he began to hum, breaking into words now and then: “I'll be loving you—always! Not for just an hour, not for just a day, not—” “So this is why you wouldn’t go to church with me!” a shrill voice, passionate with anger, broke into the singing lesson. They had not heard her, in their absorption in the song, and in each other, but Pearl had come into the house through the front door, and was confronting them now in the doorway between the dining room and kitchen. “I thought you two were up to something!” she cried. “It's a good thing I came home when I did. or I reckon there wouldn't be any Sunday dinner. Do you know why I came home, Sally Ford?” she demanded, advancing into the kitchen, her hands on her hips, her fingers digging spasmodically into the flesh that bulged under the silk. “No.” Sally gasped, retreating until she was halted by the kitchen table. “I’m cooking dinner, Pearl. It'll be ready on time—” “Don’t you ‘Pearl’ me!” the infuriated girl screamed. “You mealy-mouthed little hypocrite! I’ll tell you why I came home! I couldn't find my diamond bar-pin that Papa gave me for a Christmas present last year, and I remembered when I was in Sunday School that I saw you stoop' and pick up something in the parlor last night. You little thief! Give it back to me or I'll phone for the sheriff!” (To Be Continued) David comes to the rescue once more. In the next chapter.
