CHAPTER XLIV. LILA returned to the drawing room where Jack was standing. She was trembling. Would Dorothy reach the house to help her before Herbert arrived from downtown? “I suppose you called Ware to te I him it wasn’t safe to come now,'’ c-ld Jack. “Os course not,” replied Lila sharply. “I called Mrs. Ware at her studio to deliver a message.” Ten minutes had passed. Lila glanced at her watch. “Then why did you try to get rid of me?” Farquahar asked. “Isn’t it obvious. We can’t star here all afternoon. Mrs. Ware might V’ant to use her drawing room herself,” Lila explained. Five minutes more. Lila closed her eyes. Which would arrive first? The doorbell rang. A moment later they heard Dorothy’s voice in the hall. Dot was master of the situation. Almost without protest she dragged Jack away to pose for her on the excuse that the professional models were not the type. Lila was simply limp with fear. She sank nerveless to a chair. A moment later Herbert stood in the door. He seated himself beside her and drew some papers from his pocket. Lila reached out listlessly to take Irene’s bill from his hand. “Lila!” The sharpness of his tone made her start. “Where is your wedding ring? Why are you wearing that ring of Mrs. Varneys?” Alas, when Jack had left, Lila had forgotten to take off his ring. u u tt CAPTAIN Farquahar sat in Dorothy’s studio, patiently holding a pose, while her skilled pencil flew. The pose wasn’t difficult. Dorothy had found a bit of unfinished work for an advertising agency whch had a male figure in the foreground. Jack suited admirably. Presently Jack asked if he might talk. Conversation didn’t harm the pose, so they talked freely. Dorothy drew forth his story of the war and of his experiences in the German prison camp. It struck Jack that she was easier to talk to than Lila. More at ease—more pleasant—he thought. He still was talking when Dorothy had to stop because of the failing light. “Is that all? Is the drawning finished?” he asked. “Not quite. But I can finish without a model.” Jack protested that he wanted to come again and Dorothy consented to have him pose the next day. Dorothy rested her clasped hands on the edge of the drawing board and regarded him thoughtfully. Her beautiful hair was lined against the patch of sky revealed through the studio window. She looked distractingly pretty. The captain thought he never in his life had seen a girl so sweet and cool and gracious, or one to whom he yearned to tell his innermost hopes and fears. Farquahar leaned forward. “Mrs. Ware,” he asked suddenly, “Do you love your husband?” Dorothy started slightly; then she smiled. “No, I do not love Herbert Ware,” she answered distinctly. Jack fairly jumped. His thoughts were in a turmoil. Dorothy sensed his embarrassment. “Would you care to see a miniature I did of Lila last spring?” she asked, rising. She opened an ebony cabinet that was filled with little trifles that every lover of beauty collects. She pulled out a tiny drawer hastily, took out the miniature, and closed the drawer. It stuck on some crumpled paper. Jack paused. He was looking at a bundle of letters in his own handwriting. Slowly he took both her hands in hsi. “Dorothy, I can guess. Lila discarded my letters from France and you kept them—and are not telling ms—because you are so kind

It was much later that night before Crystal consciously argued with herself, in justification of her decision not to marry Pablo Mendoza. After all, she told herself, ashamed but a little defiant, if she had married Pablo it would have been as bad business for him as for her. Crystal’s vivid imagination balked at picturing the wedding that would necessarily have been theirs; a pretty, well-dressed American girl (she could not yet be holy honest with herself, must think of herself as pretty), and a handsome Mexican youth made ridiculous and conspicuous by his hideous American clothes—that bright-blue, ill-fitting suit, for instance, with that awful pink silk shirt!—applying for a marriage license before a surprised, incredulous clerk. Or maybe he would have insisted upon a church as well as a civil wedding. Weren’t all Mexicans Roman Catholics? Would she have had to change her religion and promise to raise the children in the Catholic faith. . . Children! Pain closed its red-hot fingers tightly about Crystal’s- heart again. Her mind went resolutely on with Its justification of love’s betrayal. The wedding. What would “Society Butterfly,” with her malicious pen, have to say about that?—“Miss Crystal Hathaway, cousin of Mr. and Mrs. Robert J. Hathaway, and but recently introduced to .7 —'ton society, has proved that love knows no caste lines by marrying a handsome, Valentino-like young Mexican laborer, employed on the Grayson dairy farm. “It will be recalled that this same

you do not want to hurt me. Isn’t that so?” “That was not reason,” Dorothy said in a low voice. Still holding her hands, he stared down at her, trying to guess what it was in her simple statement that set his pulses racing. LILA met Herberts question regarding Jack’s ring with a calmness born of infinite weariness. "I felt like wearing this one for a change.” Herbert ooked as if he couldn’t believe his tars. “What was it you wanted to see me about,” she asked. “When you have resumed wearing my wedding ring, I will tell you,” he flared. Lila ascended the stairs wearily with a mental reservation to make a quick change hereafter. She returned, presently with Herbert’s ring. He displayed Irene’s bill. “What does this mean?” he demanded. “I

MIAMI TO HAVE MANY AIR LINKS City May Be Joined With Eleven Nations. By United Press MIAMI, Fla., Dec. I.—Miami will be linked with lands of eleven nations if the proposed extenson of airplane service, which is being negotiated by Pan-American Airways, is completed. The proposed line will extend from Panama along the northern coast of South America and northward through the Windward and Leeward Islands into San Juan and Porto Rico, to link with a line from Miami. Further service along the east coast of South America is also contemplated. Should the proposals be carried out, it would be possible to fly from Miami and pass over Cuba, Mexico, Guatamala, Honduras, Costa Rica, Columbia, British Guiana, Dutch Guiana, Windward Islands, Leeward Islands, Porto Rico and Haiti. The Miami-Cuba mail and passenger transportation line is already in operation through the West Indies to San Juan scheduled to be started Dec. 15. Regular flying to Central America will be started during the winter. SUE~ON SI,OOO PLEDGE Methodist Institutions Attack Will of Hartsville Minister. . By United Press COLUMBUS. Ind., Dec. I.—The will of the Rev. J. C. Funkhouser is being contested here by the Methodist hospital and the Deaconess home of Indiana with a claim against his estate. It is alleged he signed a pledge of SI,OOO in March, 1925, to a fund to be used by the hospital and home, which has not been paid. The Rev. Mr. Funkhouser was a retired Methodist minister at Hartsville. MAD DOG SUIT FAILS Farmer Near Washington Sought Damages for Sheep Killed. By United Press WASHINGTON, Ind., Dec. I.—A test case filed by Patrick Kelley, farmer, south of here, to collect damages from Harrison township for the loss of a cow which was killed by a mad dog, has been dismissed by Circuit Court Judge Milton S. Hastings. Several other cases of similar nature will be dropped, it was said, as Kelley’s suit was a test action. The judge held that the plaintiff had no legal claim for damages because he failed to report his loss within the specified length of time.

rather inexplicable young lady recently slapped the face of Stanton’s handsomest and most eligible bachelor for attempting to kiss her at the Marlboro Country Club., Miss Hathaway, or rather, Senora Mendoza as we must refer to her now—” But Crystal could not go on with that! Think of what she had escaped! And—her heart reminded her—of what she had missed! Oh, Pablo! A long train trip to Mexico City. Probably they would have had to travel by day coach, since Pablo obviously had no money beyond his wages. He didn’t even make a salary—he made wages! Arrival in Mexico City—a strange land, a strange people ... his fat, darkskinned mother upbraiding Pablo in rapid Mexican, gesticulating, shrilling, reminding him that she had pledged him to Lucita . . .Lucita! . . . Again that hot stab of jealousy. He’d marry her now! . . . Then Crystal was ashamed, and tried sincerely to hope that Pablo would find happiness with his little Mexican muchaca. During the next hour Crystal tried to make her heart say good-by to Pablo Mendoza and what she believed was the greatest love of her life. But it Was almost dawn before the hot fingers of pain loosened their clutch upon her heart sufficiently for her to say, with some of the old Crystal manner: “But he did ask me to marry him. I’ve had a proi- of marriage.” Tears came again then, and after awhile she slept, and was late to the office. (To Be Continued)

give you plenty of money to pa. these bills.” Lila yawned lightly. “I spent i for—other things.” She walked toward him. “I’m getting tired of being called to account for every little thing.” It was then that Herbert lost his temper. They had their first serious quarrel, and Lila was too angry to pour the oil of tears on troubled waters. “You have scads of money,” she flung at him, “Why do you insult me because of a bill for a few paltry thousands?” He snapped at her: “It's not the money; it’s the principle of the thing. I demand to know what my wife does with her money and her time. Funny things have been happening here lately, and I intend to uncover the whole mess. I'm going to find the truth.” (Copyright. 1928.

DETECTIVE ACCUSED OF MURDER AT ELKHART Grand Jury Fails to Indict Three Others Held in Stultz Case. By United Pr< ss ELKHART, Ind., Dec. I.—Harvey L. Smith, former private detective and circus “barker,” was indicted on a first degree murder charge here Friday in connection with the slaying last March of Mrs. Genevieve Stutz, 33, South Bend beauty culturist, whose body was found in a lime pit near here in October. No true bills were voted against Charles Reyher, South Bend real estate operator, his wife, Janie or her brother, Jack Kimball, all of whom had been held on first degree murder charges pending grand jury action.

The murder of Mrs. Stultz followed an admitted four-year love affair with Reyher, climaxed last March when Mrs. Heyher gave Smith, private detective, SSO to “scare Mrs. Stultz out of town.” Smith admitted he received the SSO, but declared he turned the “job” over to two strangers. Mrs. Stultz was killed with a wrench and buried in a lime pit on the outskirts of Elkhart.

How Bright Is Your Baby?

Early In baby’s life his fond relatives begin to present him with picture books. They do not know that baby has much to learn before he can see a picture. Babies do not open their eyes upon world readymade for them. They have to create their own world little by little. It takes a good many months and ever years to learn to interpret pictures. How many of the following questions about your baby and his pic-ture-book can you answer correctly? 1. Can your baby of 9 months recognize familiar objects when he sees them in his picture book? Yes No 2. Can baby recognize colord pictures more easily than pictures in black and white? Yes No 3. Does baby at 2Vi years recognize an object from a simpler outline than does the baby of 18 months? Yes No 4. Does baby ever treat a picture in realstic fashion, that is, does he try to craw! into a pictured house or an illustration of an automobile? Yes No 5. Is baby very particular about having his picture book right side up when looking at it? Yes No 6. Does the year-old baby see the relationship in group picture?? Yes No 7. Can baby recognize pictures that are drawn in perspective? Yes No

Key to Questions

1. Yes, if a bright baby. 2. No, baby doesn’t care much whether the colors in pictures are true to fact or not. Some babies seem to prefer their pictures in black and white and enjoy a catalog from a mail order house more than the expensive books their relatives give them. 3. No, the older baby is more critical than the younger one. An impressionistic outline satisfies the former; the latter demands more surface filling in. 4. Yes, frequently. 5. No. It doesn’t make much difference to baby whether he looks at a picture sideways, upside down or right side up. He can recognize inverted pictures more easily than the adult can. The idea cf form and the idea of position have not fused for baby as they have for the adult. The child as he grows older and more developed ceases to be indifferent to position. 6. No. Baby is interested in recognition of the single objects, taken one by one. 7. Yes, at 2 years. Next: We will talk about baby’s conquest of space. (Copyright. 1928. Bclence Service. Inc.) Mouse Silences Radio. Bji Times Special BERNE, Ind., Dec. 1. —A mouse which found a warm place to sleep on transformer coils of the radio in the O. F. Gilliom home here, interfered so badly with the working of the set that even static would not come forth. Ejected with much difficulty from the maze of wires, the mouse fled.
