THIS HAS HAPPENED BERTIE LOU WARD, on the eye of her wedding to ROD BRYER, feels a premonition of trouble when she receives a dagger-like paper knife from LILA MARSH, who has turned Rod down because he is not wealthy. But she courageously resolves not to be jealous of Rod’s past love affair since his future is in her keeping. Bertie Lou receives another blow to her pride when she accidentally overhears one bridesmaid ask another if she thought the bridks liked being second /choice. But the pain vanishes when Rod whispers “My wife” with a world of adoration in his eyes. They spend an ideal honeymoon in a mountain resort, and Bertie Lou forgets the shadow cast by the ez-sweetheart until they return and And Lila acting as dictator in their apartment because she “knows what Rod likss." The newly weds settle down in their little home, but entertainment and the demands. of hospitality deplete their finances. Bertie Lou is worried both about her budget and Lila’s persistent annoyance. So she urges Rod to accept a position In New York which has been offered him by an old friend, TOM. ERASER. But the serpent Is not cast out of their Eden yet, for just as they are saying farewell to friends at .the station, Lila announces her intention of seein gthe msoon in New York, tor she is going to visit MOLLY FRASER. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER IX BERTIE LOU’S newly-found sense of security vanished instantly on Lila’s words. “I might have known it,” she wailed inwardly. But her audible answer was quite different. “We’ll tell New York you’re coming,” she said with the smiling sarcasm that had characterized their conversation since her marriage. Lila hastily turned her back. “Watch out for those little wild flowers growing on the old cowpath,” she warned Rod. “Broadway’s outgrown its age of innocence, they say.” “And don’t buy the Brooklyn Bridge. They’re going to build a bigger one across the Hudson, I hear,” Tommy White shotted after him as he followed Bertie Lou to the Pullman platform. They stood there, waving good-by until a bend in the road turned them from a last view of their friends. Then they staggered and bumped their way through the vestibule to their section. Bertie Lou sank down on the green plush seat with a tired sigh. ' There were soft violet shadows around her eyes to testify to the physical and emotional strain of giving up the flat. Leaving it had not saddened her overmuch, however. To her mind, the future stretched like a golden ribbon before them. Its new promise helped her to forget the dull conviction that had dimmed her brightest hopes. The conviction that Rod’s progress in Wayville would be discouragingly slow. It had grown gradually upon Bertie Lou as she realized the impossibility of keeping up with their old frienus and saving money at the same time. It was different, she had found, having a place of their own. They seemed, as a married couple, to bear a much larger share of the entertaining than fell to the single members of their set. And their little flat had been popular—too popular. “Let’s go up and see Rod and Bertie Lou,” had been a common phrase in the town. And Bertie Lou like it. So did Rod. Too much to put a stop to it. Their desire to curtail their social activities were forgotten when the fun began. Afterward Bertie Lou always wished she’d said no. It was the thought of getting away from temptation, making a fresh start, and escaping from lila’s unending efforts to embarrass her that had helped Bertie Lou to overcome all but, a very thiny remnant of regret at leaving her old home, her family and friends. And now—now she closed her eyes and hid the disappointment she feared they would reveal. Lila had fooled her. Her gay aceptance of Rod’s departure had been a mask. She’d meant all the time to follow. Bertie Lou experienced a moment of panic, picturing Lila in New York. The reputation of the city's immensity was appalling. To be harassed there—where she had no one to turn to—not that she had turned to anyone in Wayville, but at least she hadn’t been without silent sympathy and understanding from some of the girls and her mother—was a fate unthinkable. “Rod,” she said in a fierce little whisper, and lifted the silken fringe df her eyes to ga”ie, terrified at him; “Rod, let’s go back!” “Honey,” Rod laughed at her and put an arm around her shoulders to draw her close. His own voice was none too steady. Not so many moons had passed since his adolescence and he was weighted with the responsibility of taking a wife to a strange city. “We can’t disappoint the people of New York,’ he told her gravely.

“It’s new’ blood like us that made that city what it is.” Bertie Lou smiled back at him, her moment of panic gone. What could Lila do if dhe did follow them? They ought to be able to avoid her in a place the size of New York. But what if they weren’t? It had been Lila’s parading of her memories that ha<f* given Bertie Lou more heart burning* than any real fear of losing Rod’s affection. There wouldn’t be an audience for that in New York. Security came back to Bertie Lou in the contact of Rod’s arm, in his cheek laid over on her head. She relaxed against him more comfortably and reached up to pull off her hat. Rod rubbed his cheek on her hair. “Soft as corp silk,” he thought, with never-failing delight in her daintiness. Bertie Lou glanced over at the opposite section. It was unoccupied, so she cuddled up closer to Rod and they talked away all their unexpressed fears. Each buoyed up the other and by the time dinner was called thej Vfere building a castle somewhere in the city and having no difficulty whatsoever in its construction. “I guess we’ve got our big chance all right,” Rod was saying when the waiter came through. “Let’s celebrate with a good dinner,” Bertie Lou suggested. “I’m starved. And maybe you think it won’t be a treat to eat something someone else has cooked!” Suddenly, at table, Rod said: “Say, Bertie Lou, did you ask Molly about a hotel in New York?” “Os course not,” Bertie Lou replied emphatically. “What would she think of us? Everyone knows the names of the best hotel there.” Rod paused over cutting off a bite of roast chicken. “Don’t you think we’d better find a cheaper one?” he asked, a little anxiously. Bertie Lou frowned slightly. “We’ve got to make a good impression on the Frasers,” she said impatiently. “I don’t see why. What would be the use trying to run a bluff on Tom?” “It isn’t a question of running a bluff,” Bertie Lou told him, lowering her voice so the couple at the next table could not hear. “It’s a matter of standards. What you choose for yourself is the measure other people will have of you. You expect to get a raise some day, don’t you?” She stopped and waited. Rod nodded. “Well, if Tom see that you’re the sort of man who demands a lot out of life he’ll know he has to give it to you or lose you.” “But I’m not worth anything to him,” Rod expostulated. “You will be,” Bertie Lou. answered shortly. “We’ll go to a firstclass hotel.” “And save money just like we did in Wayville?” “Don’t be sarcastic, please. We’ll find an apartment in a day or so. But Tom and Molly will always remember that we aren’t hicks, it’s smart, you know, to go to a good hotel. It won’t break us to stay at one for just a couple of days and you couldn’t have a better investment.” Rod gave in. Molly lifted her eyebrows in a surprise when Bertie Lou telephoned and gave her the name of their hotel. Molly was not a Wayville girl. She hadn’t understood from Tom that either Bertie Lou’s or Rod’s family was well to do. But she supposed that must be the case. She told Bertie Lou very cordially that she would be over within an hour. Bertie Lou was waiting for her downstairs. After all, it might be just as well if Molly didn’t see their room, she thought. Somehow it didn’t quite come up to the glory of the lobby. The rates were high, higher than she’d expected. “I suppose you want to rush right over to Fifth Avenue and get some clothes,” Molly gurgled, after one glance at Bertie Lou’s costume. Bertie Lou became suddenly conscious of her summer apparel. Molly was wearing a fall suit and a fox fur.

“I’m dying to go shopping,” she confessed; “but Rod wants to get settled as soon as possible. I think I’ better find an apartment so we can send for our furniture before I spend any time on myself.” Molly assumed a superior air. “But, my dear,” she began, “you can’t go about New York in a summer outfit at this time of year. You’d make a wrong impression wherever you went. And of course you want to look at apartments on the upper East Side.” Bertie Lou gathered from her tone that the upper east side was a part of town in which it was not desirable to make wrong impressions. But a doubt of the wisdom she’d been so sure of on the train assailed her. It looked as if one coudl err on the side of making impressions that were too good. If rentals in the upper east side were anything like the rates of this hotel. ... ! “Oh I don’t know,” she said nonchalantly. “We rather think we’ll try to live within Rod’s income.” “Then you’d better go up to the Bronx unless you want to live in a cupboard,” Molly advised. “But in any case you’ve got to have some clothes. I’ll take you to my favorite shop.” Bertie Lou felt sunk. If she refused Molly might guess that she preferred to wait and look around for the best values. It would look cheap after the gesture they’d made in the selection of a hotel. “Maybe I could spare time to pick up a sports coat,” she said after a little quick thinking. Sports coats ought to be fairly inexpensive in any shop. “By the way," she exclaimed as they moved toward the door, “Lila says she’s coming to visit you.” The words came lightly but Bertie Lou waited nervously for the answer. The idea that Lila might have made it up had come to her. If she had it would be nice to know it. (To Be Continued! CUPID’S WAY MADE EASY Enforcement of Age Law Reduces Crown Point Weddings.

Only 683 couples were licensed to wed here" in June this year against 699 for the monti: in 1927, and 725 in 1926. The decrease is ascribed to insistence of County Clerk John Killigrew that the State law be observed as to ages of persons obtaining licenses.

INDIANA TAXES PUT MILLIONS IN UACHEST Income Levy Leads Sums Paid for Government; Big Drop From 1921. Indiana, through collection of internal revenue, contributed $34,694,786.62 to the Federal Government in the last twelve months, annual reports compiled today in the internal revenue office disclosed. From a peak of $77,308,5656.24 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1921, when all incomes of SI,OOO or more a year were taxable, internal revenue has decreased steadily as various forms of “war tax” and excises have been reduced or abolished and income exemptions raised. It is estimated another three or four million dollars will be clipped off the Indiana return for next year, due to repeal of the auto excise and reduced theater admission taxes. Corporations Pay Most Income tax from corporations of the State during the last year amounted to $17,014,269.97 and from individuals, $10,231,348.38, the report compiled by George L. Foote, deputy collector of internal revenue, revealed. The estate tax, levied on all estates of 1 more than SIOO,OOO, contributed $1,518,600.96. Alcohol for other than beverage purposes, taxed at the rate of $1.65 a gallon until Jan. 1, 1928, and sl.lO since that time, brought a revenue of $789,500.21. Cigars priced at from 8 to 15 cents ranked first in Indiana production, the report showed. At $5 a thousand, this class produced a revenue to the government of $352,746.78. Cigars to sell at not more than 5 cents, taxed $2 a thousand, produced $168,865.93. Five to 8-cent cigars, taxed at $3 a thousand, added $82,914.32; 15 to 20-cent cigars, at $10.50 a thousand, $790.40, and smokes priced at 20 cents or more, at $13.50 a thousand, $1,499.19. Other States Benefit Indiana smokers light ten “outState” cigars to every one “domestic,” but Indiana does not collect the revenue. Cigar taxes are levied in the State where the smokes are manufactured. Singularly, Indiana does not have a single cigaret factory. “In the twenty years I’ve been connected with the department,” said J. H. Hayworth, bookkeeper in the revenue office, “three cigaret factories started in the State, but they lasted only a few months.” Taxes on smoking and chewing tobacco and snuff manufactured in the State amounted to $68,537.84. From approximately 10,000 Indiana dealers in oleomargarine, came $193,961.53 in “oleo” taxes. Twenty years ago there were not more than a thousand dealers handling "oleo,” said Hayworth.

REOPEN RAIL CASE Hearing to Abandon Line Set for July 23. The Indiana State Chamber of Commerce has received notice that the abandonment of the Central Indiana Railway Company line will be reopened by the Interstate Commerce Commission on July 23 with a hearing in Federal Court here. The Central Indiana Railway originally sought to abandon its entire line from Muncie to Brazil. In September, 1927, the commission gave them authority to do so, but the railroad has continued in operation. In April, 1928, the company asked for modification of the order so as to permit it to abandon that part of its line between Muncie and Anderson and Lebanon and continue to operate between Anderson and Lebanon. An Interstate Commerce Commission examiner will hold a hearing on this petition July 23.

PARTY CHOICES ! BOOSTPOLITICS Hoover, Smith Personalities Revive Interest. By Times Speeial WASHINGTON, July 7—A revival of popular interest in pational politics is anticipated by political students as one result of the nomination of two such engaging personalties as Herbert Hoover and A1 Smith in the prsidential race. Hoover's international fame and domestic achievements and the story book life of the boy who rose from New York’s east side to his present eminence are said to have caught the public imagination as it has not been since James G. Blaine, “the plumbed knight,” ran against Grover Cleveland, another New York Governor, in 1884. There have been romantic and appealing figures named for the presidency by one or the other of the major parties since that time— Roosvelt, Bryan and Wilson among them—but not in forty-four years have both parties put forth such dramatic personalties as the worldfamous engineers and the product of New York’s tenement district. Signs of awakening interest are reported by newspapeer and magazine editors, politicians of nationwide prominence and those who keep their ears to the ground. The people, they say, are talking politics and personalties—and prohibition.
