NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER SEVEN IRENE was, indeed, eager to tell Tommy her good news, but he did not give her an opportunity at once. The Instant they were outside the house he plunged into his plea for an early marriage and Irene was so pleased with the humble tone he took that she let him talk on until they had come within a block of her home. The harder he pleaded, the more effective her refusal would be, she felt. Her big news would be even bigger when balanced against his contrition for being unable to rush to her that morning as she had expected he would. “Won’t you?” he said finally, and waited for an answer. Irene smiled, In a mysterious, smirking fashion. “It’s too late,” she said dramatically. “The decision is taken out of my hands.” Tommy stared at her, somewhat taken aback. “Huh?” he said stupidly. “I mean that while you were spending your time with Beryl and neglecting me my big opportunity came—and thank heavens I was home to hear when it knocked on the door Think of it!” she seemed carried away with the immensity of the thought. “If I’d gone with you last night. Tommy, I’d have missed the first real chance I’ve had in my career.” Tommy was still unenlightened. “"Think of what?” he asked. Irene regarded him superciliously. “Os course .you wouldn’t know,” she said loftily. “Well, to Be explicit, my voice teacher telephoned this morning, and I’m to have an audition at RKG tomorrow afternoon. “Radio!” Tommy exclaimed. “What a clever guess,” Irene jibed. “Why, that’s great,” Tommy said with genuine enthusiasm. “I'm really glad, Irene. I knew you’d get a break some day. “But listen, w T e always planned on it. Why should it interfere with our marriage now?” “Interfere!” Irene repeated explosively. “There’s no question of my career interfering with anything. It’s the other way round. Nothing is going to interfere with it!” “But you don’t understand,” Tommay said despairingly, “I may need a lot of time before fall to fix things up with Aunt Em. Otherwise I might not go back to college.” nan IRENE shrugged, very Frenchily, she thought. “That's your affair” she said unsympathetically. “Oh, have a heart,” Tommy begged. “Yes?” Irene mocked. “Well, you needn’t be a dog in the manger, Tommy Wilson. There’s no reason why I should put your interests before mine after the way you’ve treated me in the last twenty-four hours.” “I know,” Tommy admitted ruefully. “But I couldn’t help it. I didn’t do it purposely.” “That’s no excuse.” “Then you won't do it? You won’t evten consider it?” “Not now. My mind must be entirely free to think of my future. And if you don’t mind, Tommy, I’d rather you didn’t come in. This has been a terribly strenuous day and I’m exhausted. I must rest and 6ave my voice.” “Yes,” Tommy agreed. “I suppose you must. Well, good-by, Irene. You’re sure you don’t want me to come in?” “I'm quite sure. Good-by. I’ll let you know about the contract as soon as I get home.” “What contract?” Tommy asked foolishly. “Why; the contract I’ll get with RKG, of course.”

| “Oh. yes. I see. Well, good-by.” “Good-by.” A wave of her hand, and she was gone, to let her mother make her comfortable for her rest and refresh her throat with milk and pine oil. She was too excited to sleep, although everything ordinarily conI ducive to slumber had been done for her by her doting parent. Mrs. Everett, peeping for the ; tenth time into the darkened room where she lay and finding her still | awake, came in to coax her to close ! her eyes and try to sleep. Suddenly Irene sat up in a flutter of excitement, “Oh, I forgot,” she exclaimed. “I told Mrs. Reed you’d be right over. Something dreadful 1 happened, and it was all Beryl’s J fault. Really, mother, I dsn’t know’ i what she’ll get us into some day with her crazy ideas.” “What do you mean?” her mother asked fearfully, for her eldest daughter’s ‘“wildnecs” was a neverending source of worry to her. “I mean that she nearly let Angie Reed drown himself this morning. Poor Mrs. Reed is all upset and of course Beryl is trying to i nigh-hand the whole situation. ‘ She even attempted to order i Tommy around, but I settled that. Just the same, I think you’d better go over and see what you can do, “It’s the least this family can offer as an apology for Beryl’s carelessi ness. Somebody ought to do some- | thing about letting her have her ; way with those kids.” nun MRS. EVERETT sighed deeply. “I suppose I’ll have to go over,” she said with a touch of weariness. “But I wish you’d told me sooner. I was just starting a pie for dinner. She paused and looked at Irene hopefully. “I don’t suppose you could finish it?” she asked timidly. “Mother!” Irene rebuked her. “I’ve got to rest; you know that.” “I’ve got the apples all peeled,” her mother ventured, but Irene cut her off. “Please don’t let any one disturb me,” she said irritably. “With all this on top of what happened last night I’m completely exhausted. And I hardly got started with Mrs. Reed before Beryl came in and I turned'the house upside down.” Mrs. Everett started to ask how Angie was, thought better of it as j Irene turned over on her side, and ; went out, quietly closing the door behind her. She went back to the kitchen arid put away the things she’d got out In preparation for making the pie, xx>k off her apron, and returned upstairs to make herself presentable. It was her belief, fostered by Irene, that it became her to hide t.he graying of her hair with henna. That Beryl thought it hardened her wrinkled features was only another proof m their eyes that Beryl was not smart in her taste. And when Mrs. Everett touched ; her lips with rouge, she was hapI pily unaware that their thinness : was not adapted to the addition of false color. Rouge looked well on Irene’s rosebud mouth and all fashionable women used it, they agreed, so why net Mrs. Everett? She looked, as she walked hur- ; riedly toward the Reeds' house, precisely what she was—the somewhat vulgarly dressed mother of a daughter who saw no beauty in age; a spoiled daughter whose taste and whims colored the more characterless mother’s life in too many respects. She carried with her an everlasting agitation of a sense of futile effort. Beryl was sorry to see her arrive at the Reeds’ among the neighbor women who had begun to ■ gather there. She feared her : mother’s outspoken reproaches. nan ONCE she had said to her mother and Irene that she could not see how blackening her •whitened them anv. Irene had wanted to know in what way she ever had discredited the family, and Mrs. Everett had been deeply wounded. Beryl had given up her self-defense as a hopeless undertaking. This was when Irene had apologized profusely at Beryl’s expense to a neighbor for the damage done to the latter’s house gutters by the squirrels that came to feed on the nuts Beryl brought home from the grocery store as part of her wages. The squirrels ate the nuts in the gutters and clogged them with the shells. Irene had talked to the

neighbor as though Beryl had known this unlikely result would come about and had supplied the nuts to the squirrels over her family's protest. The feeling Beryl had known then came over her now as her mother proceeded to exonerate the family for blame in this, her incorrigible daughter’s latest escapade. And she could see that the women were impressed—even Mrs. Reed, who, until today, had been one of the staunchest supporters. Well, when ones own mother .. . The thought trailed away without a definite conclusion in the girl’s weary brain. She was tired—dog tired—as she’d have said if any one had asked her how she felt. She wanted to go somewhere and be alone. “Where’s Irene?” she asked her mother, interrupting a flow of meaningless talk. Told that Irene was at home, she decided not to go there. “Poor Irene,” her mother remarked and launched into a recital of what the day had brought to Irene. Every one was interested, and when Beryl broke in again to say that she thought she'd go to a picture show, they considered her attitude toward her talented sister a callous one. Beryl pretended not to notice, rnd was leaving the house when suddenly her mother called her back. (To Be Continued) Tenth Case Ended By United Press WASHINGTON, Ind., May 6.

Answer for Yesterday Sally started with $99.98 and spent all but $49.99. Thus she had as many cents left as she had had dollars and half as many dollars as she had had cents. e

The black had no intention of allowing this woman, who should be worth much gold to him, to escape. He recaptured her without trouble . . . Meanwhile, against the rear palisade Usula had been burning torches to the brush pile at several different places. Fires grew bright and spread rapidly. iik
