NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO GARRETSON spoke amiably. “As far as Barry is concerned, there is nothing; to be done. It isn't necessary. I don't think he would accept any of his uncle's money even if you could offer it. "The mine, you say, is a going concern. Suppose this young Saccalelli does own half of it! Let Barry wait. At 30 he can buy back his share. Or he can return and enter the family business. There always is a place waiting for him." “I’ll see if lunch can not be hurried,’ ’Mona said suddenly. "I understand. Mr. Garretson. Please! Let’s talk of other things.” A servant answered her ring and Intimate dthat luncheon would be served immediately. Mona and the lawyer sat facing each other across the shining mahogany table. The girl made a lovely picture in the high-backed chair, against which her bronzed hair glowed. Black was becoming. Mr. Garretson noted with satisfaction that it, was a well-selected gown she was wearing. He did not blame young Barry for anything except not marrying her immediately. The boy, forsaking the usual impetuosity of youth, had delayed. There had been cruel misunderstanding all around. \Ah well, pos-

7nscpK A DAY" BY BRUCt CATTON

WHEN anew book by P. G. Wodehouse romes out. it real- i ly isn’t necessary for the critic to I do anything but give the book's name, tell its price and let the pub- ; lie know where it can be bought. Mr. Wodehouse's books always are funny, always engagingly written, always charmingly devoid of any underlying vein of seriousness. They never try to expose anything, they never try to satirize anything. Mr. Wodehouse simply writes about impossible people doing imposisble things in an exceedingly comical manner. And what more can you ass? All of this is by way of preface to the announcement that there is anew Wodehouse hook on the market. It is called "Hot Water,” and it’s one of his best. The scene of this one is a French chateau, which has been rented by a rich American, who suffers under the domination of his wife, who is trying to get him appointed American ambassador to France. To further her aims, she invites to the chateau a famous American senator who is touring Europe and a young French vicomte; and into the thick of things charge an American football star, an English heiress, two Chicago gangsters, and a highbrow English novelist. Doubtless you can imagine what Mr. Wodehouse does with all these people. If you follow my advice, you’ll read ‘ Hot Water” at once. It’s published by Doubleday, Doran X Cos., and it costs $2.

slbly youth in itself was recompense. Mr. Garretson sighed. *As he left the Townsend house and walked briskly toward Fifth avenue in the warm January sunshine, the lawyer said to himself: "She'll find some way to aid Barry!” He sighed for possibly the tenth time that day. Left alone, Mona stood at the window and tapped the sill absently. She felt no keen loss, as she would have had she and her husband seen more of one another. Only as she passed his suite on the way to her own did she realize that now she was mistress of thus great house. It w’as hers alone. a a a IN her sitting room she paused at the little French telephone, called Pilgrim's and asked for Lottie. “Dine with me tonight?” It was agreed without delay. Lottie had come to the telephone only a few moments before she was expected on the floor. She * assured Mona that the rase taffeta she was wearing was "a knockout.” "You ought to buy it, Min,” Lottie insisted. "All right, I’ll buy it for you.” Smiling, Mona replaced the instrument. It was pleasant to think that any time she wished she could make such gifts. There were so many things she could do for those who had long been deprived, who never haa known much happiness. Her own family. The neighbors over on Third avenue. Friends at the office. There W'ere things she could do for every one—except Barry! Lottie arrived in a flurry of cold air, rosy-cheeked and sweet-smell-ing furs. Mona had sent the car for her and Lottie was not without a sense of importance at the flutter she had caused among her coworkers as she entered the limousine.

“They probably think the chauffeur is my boy friend,” she admitted ruefully. “There’s just no impressing women who don t want to be impressed.” “How much are you making at Pilgrim's?” began Mona speculatively. Lottie guessed instantly that the question was not idle curiosity. “How much?” she repeated, then broke into a smile. She had flung herself on the chaise longue and stretched her lithe young body out under the soft light restfully. “Oh, it’s wonderful to have rich friends. How much am I getting? Oh, about half.” “Half what?” demanded Mona. “Half what I tell the other girls. But as woman to woman. Mona, I’m getting SBO per. Not peradventure, either. Per week.” "You’re worth $100,” Mona decided reflectively. Lottie shrugged. “Henri says there is a depression.” Mona considered slowly. “How would you like to work for me?” she asked. "As my companion. I’ll give you SIOO and your wardrobe.” “Don’t you think I’m companion enough now?” demanded Lottie. ana THE other girl smiled. “What does it get you? You like good times, parties, men, admiration. I can’t ask you to share that sort of good time with me. “That’s out of the question. I wouldn’t want it any other way. But,” her voice grew serious, “your friendship means a lot to me. I really need you. WhJ not give up your job and live with me?” “I’d love to,” Lottie said slowly. “There’s the apartment, though, and Sallie.” "You can’t just walk out on her, of course,” Mona agreed. The days of trying to meet bills were not so far behind that she had forgotten ways and means. “Anyhow, I don’t want to ask you to give up your flat. You like it too much. Keep it and I’ll see to the expense. Stay there any time you like, but work for me.” "Why, Mona. I’d love to!” Mona sat in the easiest chair and leaned against it. “Then that’s settled.” she said cheerfully. “Now here is my plan.” She rose and pressed the bell. “I’ll order dinner sent up. It’s cozier. Listen, I want to close this house shortly. And you and I are going—” She broke off as the maid ap-

peared. Mona gave a brief order for the meal, which she asked to have served before the fire. “Twilands?" asked Lottie, a trifle dismayed. Mona shook her head. “Twilands isn’t mine. John left Twilands to Elizabeth and Barry." “He did!” Lottie said scornfully So he did that much for Barry!” “That, at any rate. And I’m going to do more.” Briefly she outlined her conversation with Mr. Garretson earlier in the day. a But what can you do for Barry,’’ asked Lottie, puzzled, “if the money’s all tied up this way?” "That’s why I’m engaging you to be ir.y companion and secretary,”

THEY TELL ME

This Cut Doesn’t Hurt IYy'OTION pictures to the contrary, reporters, especially those covering legislatures, are not as wise as they consider themselves to be. Including yours truly. Which is prompted by the fact that the “gentlemen” of the press let a joker slip by on one bill that adds $2,500 to the annual pay of the treasurer and auditor of state. So that, despite the pay slash bill, these two officials will draw larger salaries hfter Sept. 1 than they are getting at present. That inimitable comic, Groucho Marx, takes occasion in “Horse Feathers” to say “The Lord Alps those who Alps themselves.” Perhaps the two state officials mentioned above saw a preview of the picture, because they certainly put that little maxim into practice with the aid of some kindly legislators. One bill comes along slashing $1,500 from the annual salaries of Treasurer Bill Storen and Auditor Floyd Williamson, which makes their net pay $6,000. Then another is passed providing that all interest on public funds shall be placed in a sinking fund and thus, when there is any loss through bank closings, the refund shall come out of the interest. a a a The auditor and treasurer are authorized to enforce provisions of the law for which extra work and hire of additional clerks they get an extra $2,500 each. All the new clerks they will hire can be counted on one finger, they tell me. Which means that where Storen and Williamson received $7,500 a year prior to the slash, their pay now will be $8,500. which isn’t so bad for two young fellows trying to get along. While the friendly legislature was "Alping" the pair, it might have included the secretary of state, Frank Mayr Jr., whose pay is $6,000 and two officials who were getting $5,000 a year and who now find themselves docked $750 each. These two are the superintendent of public instruction, George Cole, and the supreme court clerk, Fred Pickett. Evidently the lobbies of the last named weren’t working so well. it a a But what is amazing to the ol’ doctor is that Governor Harry G. Leslie let that sinking fund bill slip through without vetoing it. It’s getting so in Indiana that the Republicans are letting the Democrats get away with too much. Where is that bitter enmity that distinguished Hoosier politics? It must be that we have fallen upon weak and effeminate days, with the Republicans weakening in their hatreds. G. O. P. politicians should get after Leslie for that—or maybe we’re all wrong and the Governor has inside information that after the first of the year the treasurer and the auditor will be Republicans and he wants to take care of them. If so—Leslie takes rank with Watson and Robinson, our leading optimists.

Mona pointed out seriously. “You can think of a way!” “Maybe.” Lotties tone was doubtful. "Listen, Mona, if my job depends on finding a way to ladle out $10,000,000 to Barry, myabe Id better not resign from Pilgrim’s. I don't see how—” "Don't be silly. I want you, anyway, But I am hopeful!” a a a DINNER arrived and the girls drewi, easy chairs before the fire. The butler busied himself with gleaming silver and white linen. Then he left the two alone over their coffee. “It's the life!” sighed Lottie. "I'll take you up on that offer. Mona.” When the servant appeared to remove the remains of dinner Mona asked him to bring in a newspaper.

THAT TWO-FACED CAT Kitten in Texas Laboratory Is Normal in All Other Respeets. B<i I,'nitrd Press HOUSTON. Tex.. Aug. 25.—That "two-faced cat” often mentioned in speaking of the neighbors has come to life at last. A two-faced cat is a living, breathing reality in the dog and cat hospital of Dr. G. W. James. It has two perfect sets of eyes, two sets of nostrils, two mouths, and two sets of vocal chords—hence, two voieps—but only one set of ears and one lower jaw. Dr. James says the kitten is perfectly normal in other respects and believes it will live.
