Im tired!” Nan CarW roll groaned, as she banked cushions upon one end of the big couch which would later ser. r e as he." bed. and curled her small body into the nest. ‘ Half past ten, and this is the first deep breath I've had time to take today. Be an angel, Willis, and just sit. I want to do that famous relaxing stunt I m always reading about. I think the general idea Is to close your eyes, make your mind a perfect blank, turn loose of everything, and let every nerve unkink. It listens swell, doesn't it?” sb.o grinned crookedly at the man who had settled as near her on the couch as he dared. •‘Don't go to sleep, honey,” Willis warned her, his gray eyes grave and tender as they searched the relaxed, weary little face that was cuddled childishly against a black satin cushion. “I told you I had something to say to you and that you'd better make up your mind to listen. You can't escape me now as you did at dinner.” "Nice old bully.” she gibed drowsily. ‘‘But don't talk for just a few minutes, or I'll scream and tear my hair —which would be a pity since I paid a dollar and a quarter for this finger wave just yesterday. Whew!” And she exhaled another sigh of profound fatigue, burrowing still more deeply into her nest of cushions. The young man who watched her With loving anxiety looked anything but a bully, but he did look thoroughly "nice.” Sand-brown hair, a few freckles that persisted through the remains of a coat of summer tan, and a broad mouth that seemed to be trying to offset the boyishness of the dimple-cleft chin. ana riOR perhaps five minutes Nan's eyes remained closed, then they flew open to laugh at Willis Todd's intent anxiey. 'Old Sobersides!” she jeered fondly, thrusting out an impudent small foot to kick him unhurtingly. "I'm all rested now. able to bear up under anything. What’s it going to be —another lecture on the heinous crime of breaking one's dates with one's steady? Defendant pleads guilty and throws herself upon the mercy of the court.”

“No. it's not a lecture, though you deserve one." Willis Todd told her ; gently, as he moved near enough to j take her hands. “You know darned ; well what it. is, and T m not going ; to let you kid me out of it this i time.” he added sternly. “When are you going to marry me, Nan? Next Saturday or Sunday?" “Oh, dear," Nan sighed, lifting his hand in both of hers and laying her back against it. You're going to be fasterful and arbitrary, aren’t you. dear? I like you so much better when you're just sweet and restful. You really 7 can't imagine how 7 sweet and restful you are, as a rule. Willis darling. There's no one else with whom I can be so natural. Why, Willis. I don't even mind your seeing me with my hair all out of curl era run in my stocking. Nice, boy'" And she rubbed her cheek ca jolingly against his hand. “Just another good reason why you must marry me. then," Willis retorted no less sternly. ‘ You're killing yourself in that fool job of yours, honey, and I'm not going to stand for it another week. Playing nursemaid to Morgan’s little hellion, running errands for his selfish wife, doing all your own work in the office and half of Morgan's—” “That’s enough. Willis!” Nan interrupted sharply, dropping his hand ss if it burned her cheek. “I'll meekly agree to anything you say about Iris and Curtis Morgan, but you can’t say % word against Mr. Morgan. He's the greatest criminal lawyer in this state, the finest gentleman, the mast considerate employer—'' “And that's enough from you. Nan,” Willis dared to interrupt her. *’l believe we were discussing you and rne, net John Curtis Morgan. I'm sick of the name, incidentally. Three-fourths of your conversation is about him and your work—" “Because I love my work and couldn't be happy a minute if I gave it up!" Nan caught him up passionately. “That's the reason I ■won't- marry you. Willis. You've said time and again that I had to stop work when I married you. and I simply won’t—that's final! I've spent three years in that office, every working day of my life since I garduated from college, and I'm not going to throw over my career to get married.” Tour career?" Willis was becoming angry. “That’s rather a dignified name for * job as private secretary, •sn't it?' Tm more than a private secretary and you know it, Willis Todd!” Nan’s voice broke on a childish sob, which made her still more angry. “You know good and well that I've studied night after night so that I could become a lawyer. You know I’ll be ready to take my examinations to be admitted to the bar by next June—” “Yes. and then what-” Willis in-

HOOVER BRINES TACNA-ARIGA ROW TO CLOSE Chile and Peru Agree to Divide Two Disputed Provinces. Bv United Press WASHINGTON, May 18.—Agrgement between Chile and Peru to settle the menacing Tacna-Arica dispute, which has threatened the peace of the two countries and of Scuth America, for forty-five years, has been announced by President Herbert Hoover. It is understood the President undertook settlement of the difference shortly after his good will tour of South America last year, when he discussed it with Peruvian and Chilean authorities. The proposed settlement, it is said, is on a basis of division of territory, Tacna, for Peru and Arica for Chile. The entire area, comprises about 9.250 square miles of worthless land as far as agricultural or mineral potentialities are concerned. The controversy was heated by questions of national honor. It was noted when the announcement was made that the President had 'forsaken the plan used by President, Warren G. Harding in his attempt to make the settlement and later by President Calvin Cooolidge. Tire Harding-Coolidge plan was an abitral award calling for a plebiscite in the disputed area to determine its allegiance. Hoover went directly at the* problem by exercising good offices with the result announced. A treaty will be negotiated, according to the plßn, making the settlement effective. Bolivia, a land-locked state, repeatedly has sought recognition in the dispute. The Bolivian request has been for the compromise to provide her with an outlet to the sea. No provision for Bolivia was made in the proposed basis for settlement. BUTLER BAND TO PLAY Concert Will Be Given Sunday In Fail-view Shell.

"Just when you've got me all mushy and ready to say ‘yes’ to anything you have to spoil it all by saying something hateful about—about Mr. Morgan, ff don't make fun of you and your boss, accuse you of toadying to him—” “No,” Willis interrupted her quietly, his young mouth very grim, “because you know I'm not in love with him. The relationship is purely that of buyer and general manager—” “Oh!” Nan gasped, retreating from him slowly, her brown eyes growing enormous with horror. "Oh, Willis Todd! How dare you say a thing like that to me?”

Willis rose and followed her, his hands closing firmly upon her shoulders, his eyes, not so many inches above hers, narrowing as they searched her scarlet face. "T£ you’ll tell me it isn't true, I'll apologize, Nan, and I'll never hint at such a thing again.” ‘‘Just what do you mean—just what isn’t true?” she challenged him furiously, shrugging her shoulders to rid them of his hands, but not succeeding. ‘‘Are you in love with John Curtis Morgan?” Willis asked bluntly, but his voice quivered and a muscle jerked in his suddenly pale cheek. Childishness and the red tide of anger fled from Nan Carroll’s face as if she had been stricken old and ill in that instant. Her eyes were like great black disks of pain and horror as they clung to his face, unable to tear

TWO CHILOREN KILLED IN DASH OF STOLEN CAR Alleged Drunken Youths Pilot Auto Into Group of School Tots. Bn United Press CHICAGO, May 18.—A stolen automobile driven by two youths who police said were drunk, crashed into a group of school children here Friday night, killing two and injuring two others so seriously they are not expected to live. The children attempted to cross a street on the south side, walking together. The car piloted by the two youths shot down the street and crashed into the group. The car hardly paused, witnesses said, but sped down the street, finally smashing into another automobile, whose driver seized the two boys and turned them over to police. The dead are Robert Jennell, 12, and Jerome Boyd, 13. Ray Rousseau, 13, suffered internal injuries and Harold O’Grady, 13, received a fractured skull. The two youths were William Sveney, 26. and Frank O'Dee, 27. They will be charged with manslaughter. The automobile had been stolen several hours previous to the accident, police learned.

And like an intolerably wounded small boy he flung up an arm and bowed his head upon the crook of it. That gesture of his awoke Nan out of her trance of horror, did something to ' ir heart. Taking a quick, jerk} step toward him, she put her arms gently about him, laid her cheek against his bowed head, j “Nan’s sorry,” she crooned, in a pathetic, breaking, but comforting j little voice. "Please, Willis, you said we weren't to quarrel. And—and if you want me to very much. I’ll marry you, dear—” His head came up with a. jerk; his gray eyes swept over her face hungrily, incredulously. She smiled i through her tears, nodding slowly, like a child that has been scolded and longs to be reinstated. "Then you don't love Morgan?” i be blurted out joyfully. “Say it,! Nan! Say it, darling—oh-h, I see.) You can't say it. Then why do you ’ want to tjiarry me?” he demanded ; violently, because his pain was so ! great. “I think,” Nan began steadily, "that you can’t realize how insulting ; you are. I should have thought it i would be sufficient for me to say I | would marry you.” "And I,” Willis told her, not at all steadily, “don't want you to marry J me if you love another man. The words have been said between us at last, Nan. I've been in an agony of jealously for two years, and now that I've admitted it at last, you’ll j have to answer my question. I'm sorry. Nan. but it would be no good pretending I.'d enever asked you and you’d—evaded the question. We'll be so happy, darling, if you say, ‘I love you, Willis, I don't love Morgan.’ Can you say it, Nan?” he insisted, his hands clenched at his sides. "I refuse to answer a question you ; have no right to ask me.” Nan | blazed. "I never dreamed you had such ugly thoughts about me in ! your mind these two years.

He turned away from her, lurched like a drunken man to the table upon which he had laid his hat, snatched it up and lurched on toward the door. Nan watched him go. the back of one trembling hand crushed against her mouth, as if to stifle a cry. When the door closed sharply upon him. she ran toward it. leaned against it, panting, her eyes terrible with fright. "Oh, Willis, come back! Don't leave me alone! You've always been so sweet to me, Willis! You can’t be so cruel as to leave me alone now! If you leave me alone. I'll have to think—and I don't want to think, I don't dare to think!
