I NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER ELEVEN FOR the rest of the evening, Mona was all gaiety. She had determined to put her worries aside and not spoil Steve’s party. During a dance with him she slipped away to telephone her home. Bud answered and his voice was casual, satisfying. Yes, he’d been working. Sure, he i in now for the night. What? ! Oh, eating a sandwich. Yeah. Be home a little later, would she? j Well, that was okay. He and leave a light. Mona turned away from the telephone relieved. But was home and apparently staying there. His voice had seemed as innocent as Kitty’s might have been. The four young people danced at the Club Morgan, exchanging partners with gay, flattering banter that made each girl feel certain that secretly each man would have preferred her to the other. Then they drove swiftly through the park in Steve’s car to the latest and smartest club in Harlem and danced again. “More like home, eh?” Barry laughed over his shoulder at Steve, as a gorgeous case au lait dancer in

ttbook a rw BY BRUCt CATTQN

* A PREFACE TO DEATH," by A. Fred Rothermell, is a thoughtful, excellently written, rather grim book about the odd things that people do with themselves when they discover that they have only a short time to live. It Is chiefly the story of Dr. Vorldorn, director of an eastern university’s astronomical observatory, who has to go to a sanitarium in New Mexico to be treated for tuberculosis. Dr. Vondorn lives only for his work. He finds the sanitarium a fearful bore. Contrary to his doctor’s instructions, he insists on writing a book on astronomical research while he is there. Then, to top it off, he falls in love with a woman patient in the santarium, an artist, leaves the place with her and establishes a retreat in a desert cabin. Both lovers are dying. Neither will submit to the regimen which alone can bring back health. He loves her sincerely, yet he puts his work ahead of her precisely as he did with his wife, and in the end he finds little more contentment with her than he did with the woman he deserted. His one moment of true happiness comes when he drags himself, on the very eve of his death, to a desert observatory and makes a pathetic effort to get back into the old harness again. Mr. Rothermell has created a ktrange, complex character and has succeeded splendidly in bringing him to life. His best achievement, however, Is the atmosphere he has thrown over the whole book. You won’t find it light or pleasant reading, but it has It lot of power. It is published by Little, Brown & Cos. and sells for $2.50.

pink, a lithe, arresting figure swung ” by. They ate again—coffee, golden brown, with toast and scrambled eggs. Suddenly Barry looked up to exclaim: ’“This Is too late for you!” He was gazing at Mona, for Lottie, apparently, did not strike him as a martyr to the 9 o'clock appearance at work, “Tell you what I’ll do! I'll use my pull at the office to get the day off for you!” “Sh!” Mona whispered. They had not told Steve that they had met at Garrctson's. “That’s right,” muttered Barry. He and Mona both smiled. This was the second secret they had shared. For both of them knew that, of the two, Mona's influence at Garretson’s office was greater than the young man’s. In the front seat of the car, her golden head frankly on Steve’s shoulder, Lottie opened her eyes to announce that old Pilgrim himself couldn't get her to appear on duty at his shop before 3 p. m. “And maybe I won’t be there then!” she added. “They'll think I'm at the fashion show and the fashion show will think I'm at the shop. All’s well for little Lottie!” "Os course they wouldn’t think of telephoning,” suggested Steve, giving her head a good-natured push. “They couldn’t check up on you. I suppose?” “I’ll take that chance,” Lottie answered. tt tt tt MONA noted, without a pang, that Steve and Lottie had reached a state of complete camaraderie. “You're good, Lottie,” she murmured. “Good?” echoed the other girl, settling her wrap about her. “I’ve got to be good! There hasn’t been a figure like mine at Pilgrim's since Mona left us.” “And there won't be until she goes back!” Steve agreed firmly. Mona’s heart leaped. Instantly she was ashamed of begrudging Lottie a conquest. ■ Certainly Lottie was generous enough. They dropped Lottie in front ot her apartment house in the 50’s amid effusive interchange of banter, telephone numbers and goodnights. Barry left them at the Park avenue address. He was spending the night at the apartment to which both young men referred as “Steve’s place.” Mona was sitting beside Steve now. Her own address was hardly ten blocks away and he drove slowly. “Steve I’m sending these things back tomorrow.” “We’ll talk that over later, honey. What you need now is a few hours of sleep.” “Well, later then,” she answered drowsily. “Gee, Min, it’s been great to see you.” She aroused herself long enough to answer this. “I observe that you seem to think so.” “Because I talked a lot to Lottie? How could any one escape? Oh, Mona—that isn't like you.” She patted his hand as it lay on the wheel and his fingers caught her own. “You see,” Steve explained naively, “I wanted old Towny to have the best.” tt tt tt THE car glided carefully out of the way of a taxicab, appearing suddenly from nowhere, and turned into East Sixty-seventh street. It settled quietly a door or so away from the Moran apartment. Steve walked with Mona to the entrance. She stood for a moment and looked at him gravely. “Don't worry about Bud,” Steve whispered. “I’ll take a hand in that. Forget it!” He tipped her face gently upward, his gloved fingers' beneath the quaintly pointed chin. “Remember how I used to call you ‘little pointy face-?” • Mona remembered. “Bye. See you some more. I’ll call you this afternoon at the office. Maybe you’ll let me drive you home or something.” “Maybe.” Steve returned to the car, paused

► a moment lighting a cigaret and slipped beneath the wheel. Mona, watching, knew that he | would wait until she had time to climb the three flights so that the ' creaking of the door and the start- \ ing of the motor car would not be simultaneous. She tried not to worry about Bud as she saw, gratefully, that he was asleep in his room. She reflected that Steve's interest in the matter would help her a lot. ant BACK at the Halcyon Club, Buck Harkins was finishing a long talk with Chile. “Yeah. Saccarelll offered a diamond for sale. Diamond of the first water, Chile. Blue as steel. Bigger than the Regent of Portugal. Bigger than the Star of the South.

’THEY TELL ME

They Can't Take It TT'OR years the state highway commission has been making the people take it on the chin and like it. But now that closed corporation, which has been ruling legislatures with an iron hand, is on the receiving end and can’t take it. If nothing else, this special session of the general assembly has proved that Indiana isn’t being run as a private game preserve for road material and machinery interests. And the real credit for the victory should go to an aroused public opinion, which using the voice of a police siren or crack of thunder impinged its demands upon the legislative organ jestingly termed the brain. The people (you’ll hear more about them in campaign speeches), who have been taking it with a grin ever since the highway commission was created, with the assistance of Delph McKesson of Plymouth, Democratic house floor leader, have landed a couple of rights and lefts on those gentry, and you should hear the squeals. , tt tt tt McKesson’s use of public opinion, and the legislative club of holding up the senate’s pet bills until action was taken on his measures, has enabled the people to obtain passage of two bills which will send half of the gas tax and auto license funds back to counties, cities and towns to provide work on local road projects and to refund bond issues. The highway department’s $24,000,000 jackpot, used to throttle any attempt to investigate and purge its activities, will be sliced to $12,000,000. And thus the first step is taken in the campaign to make the commission the servant, and not the master of the people. Arrogant and powerful with its millions, and 12,000 directly and indirectly on the pay roll, the highway commissioners and the paving material machinery lobbyists were confident that, although the bills had passed the house, they would die in the senate. tt a a Legislators were threatened that if they voted for the measures, no roads would be allocated to the? counties they represent and the fact that 6,000 people hired by the commission and 6,000 by the contractors cut some ice in an election was mentioned readily and often. For the first time since Indiana awoke to a realization that the highway commission ran the legislature, the threats failed. Even the senate, usually so acquiescent to the vested interests and the powers that be, disregarded the club and the bills now await the signature of Governor Leslie. If he attempts to run counter to aroused public opinion and vetoes the bills, it is s’afe to predict that they will be repassed so quickly that his head will swim.

Two hundred twenty carats, Chile! What a stone!” “Where’d he get tt?” “Came by it honestly—that’s the funny part. He’s offering it on the open market and we’ve got to get it!” Chile stood up, stretching his huge length with a spreadeagle motion that filled the room. “How we going to get it? How we going to get rid of it, if we lay our hands on it? Ever think of that?” . Buck Harkins swung his chair around and eyed Chile. “Say. for half a million I could get rid of the city hall, wrapped tip in tissue paper with a red ribbon on it.” Chile returned his glance speculatively. “I believe you,” he decided
