RUMP SESSION PLAN CANCELED BY CATES BLOC Attempt to Hod Meeting Prior to Convention Is Abandoned. The G O P. faction urging Ralph Hate*, Columbia City, as 'state chairman today revealed, through its leaders, (hat a so-called rump session of the Republican state committee would not be held tomorrow as had been reported previously. The group, which claims sufficient legally tdected state committeemen to name Mr. Gates as chairman, indicated they will not meet before the state convention, June 3. unless Don B. Irwin, state chairman, calls them into session. “If our committeemen met, the meeting would be called a ‘rump’ session When in fact it would constitute a majority of members,” a Gates spokesman sait. Committee Action Rapped The Gates group had appealed to Mr. Irwin to hold a state committee meeting tomorrow, but he refused ar.d set the committee meeting for June 4, the date after the state convention. Today the Gates faction released P letter sent by Edgar Durre, Republican chairman of Vanderburgh County, to Harry C. Fenton, state secretary, in which Mr. Durre criticised the state committee for failing to declare a legal election in the Eighth District. Mr. Durre contended the Eighth District had been “counted out” in fi manner similar to the “long count” given Jack Dempsey in the ITunney-Dempsey fight. Headquarters Are Opened He charged the failure to declare a legal election in the district as a “subterfuge.” “Obviously it only serves,” the letter says, "for the purpose of ‘control the committee’ clique at any cost until after the convention.” The Fourth District, in which Mr. Gates resides, and the Eighth District both established headquarters today in the Claypool. F. D. R.’S INDIANA TRIP NON-POLITICAL, HE SAYS Trcsident Declares He’ll Talk on Historic Subjects. Times Special WASHINGTON, D. C.. May 27. Just to illustrate how this trip to Vincennes, Ind., June 13, is to be purely Presidential and non-po-litical, President Roosevelt told his press conference that he will speak there on the Battle of Vincennes and about William Henry Harrison. “I suppose you will also say Something about George Rogers Clark,” a reporter suggested. This brought a good-natured laugh from the President, the point being that the whole purpose of the Vincennes stop off is to dedicate the George Rogers Clark Memorial there. BEATTY IS FINED FOR CRUELTY TO ANIMALS Pittsburgh Humane Society Protests Treatment of Tigers, Lions. fill United Pres s PITTSBURGH, May 27.—Clyde Beatty took a lesson in lion taming from the law here and paid S2O for it. An agent of the humane society complained to Alderman Ray Schneider that Beatty and his troupe, appearing here with a circus, handled their lions and tigers cruelly. Schneider assessed Beatty and his assistant S2O each; then permitted them to appear at the circus’ final performance last night.

LUCILLE TRAVERS, snobbish classmate of Gall’s, asks them to join her party. ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER VII DEREK said insistently, “But it's perfectly all right with me—don't give it another thought!” They were leaving the Russian restaurant after Gail had refused Lucille Travers’ invitation to join her friends. The snake-like glance Lucille had turned on the other g;rl had not been lost upon Derek. “Surely,” he continued, “you know I'd rather be with you than with that Park-av crowd.” “But I'm afraid I was rather selfish,” Gail objected. “Lucille is frightfully rich. Perhaps if you'd met her friends it might have brought you some commissions for portraits." “Do you think I’d sacrifice an hour with you for the sake of such a mercenary consideration? It seemed strange, though—l thought from the way Lucille greeted you that she must be one of your dearest friends. Os course if you'd wanted to go to her table I'd have been willing enough to go along. But there—let’s forget all about it!” u n n AS they reached the door Gail . noticed the woman who had spoken to her the day before in the tearoom —the one who had urged her to see a certian exhibit of paintings. Gail was surprised when Derek acknowledged the woman’s jerky little bow most courteously. It was not until they were outside that he said, “Did you notice that rather unusual looking woman to whom I bowed as we left the restaurant?” “Yes. Who is she?” Gail asked interestedly. “Mrs. Morton, the widow of one of America’s greatest financiers. She’s tremendously rich and takes an interest in young painters, trying to get a start. Art’s her hobby. In fact, it was the sale of a little water color to her that set my feet on the ladder. The fact that she bought it immediately made folk sit up, for she's considered quite a critic.” “How exciting!” said Gail. “But, believe,it or not, she spoke to me yesterday!” Quickly she told Derek of their meeting. u u WELL, you are having some lucky breaks, for if Mrs. Morton becomes interested in you or your work there isn't a thing she won't do for you.” “Oh, I may never meet her again. It isn’t likely I'll be joining the social whirl. I’m afraid my work's going to take most of my time.” “Say, you’re not going to make work the whole aim of your existence! I'm going to see to that, right now. How about a little trip Sunday?” “backaches - KIDNEY DISORDERS corrected bv taking DIU.REX Sold and Guaranteed HAAG'S Cut Price Drugs

“l'm sorry I can’t accept. I've promised to spend the week-end with some friends on Long Island.” “Oh, you have friends here then? I thought you were all alone.” “So I am,” Gail returned, rather spiritedly. “In fact, I’c forgotten how near Long Island is to New York, and I certainly would never have lcoked them up—” she stopped rather suddenly. She had almost added—but I met Dick by chance.” n n n 'ITT ELL, I hope you have a good reached the clubhouse. “Oh, I guess I will. Thank you for the nicest evening l'\ e had since I came to the big city ” “Glad you enjoyed it. By the way, the Ferrara gallery is to be open one or two evenings next week. The pictures are well worth seeing. Won't you let me take you there?” “Os course I will, if you’re sure you don’t mind taking me.” “Mind? Are you fishing, little lady?” he questioned whimsically.' Then, clasping both her hands in his, he said. “This has been the happiest evening I’ve known in a long time.” For a precious moment his eyes helo hers. Then, withdrawing her hands, Gail ran up the short flight of stone steps, paused for a moment and waved a slender hand ijefore disappearing inside the clubhouse. M St M A S Gail turned the key in the door of her room the greeneyed girl she had seen in the dining room stepped out into the hall. She glanced up and down the hall and then crossed to Gail. “I’ve just broken the points of my scissors,” she said. “I wonder if I might borrow a pair from you for a moment or two? I’m Preston,” she added, in a carefully modulated voice. “Os course you may! Come right in.” Gail held the door wide open. "What a nice room!” Natalie’s green eyes quickly noted that it was larger than her own and that the occasional chairs were better upholstered. “Yes, it is quite pleasant, but 1 haven’t all my things unpacked yet.” “Oh, you're just here for a visit?” asked Natalie. “No, I expect to make my home here permanently. Won’t you sit down?” “Well, I’m in no rush,” Natalie replied. “We might as well get acquainted, for we’re neighbors.” She sat down in the most comfortable chair. n n u "0 F course >” a S reed Gail, taking off her hat and coat, rather flattered that the dis-tinguished-looking girl seemed so friendly, “What is your work?” asked Natalie, taking a cigaret from the box Gail offered her. “I design dresses.” “That’s interesting!

advertising line. I write special women's copy for one of the big Fifth-av stores. It’s not bad, only you don't get around enough—l mean outside the store. And it's real slavery, for we have to work Saturdays, too. I’m trying to get into an agency. You get to know more people that way. Besides I'm fed up writing exclusively about clothes. I loathe them.” Gail laughed. “Then I guess you don't think much of my line?” “Oh, that's different. You're actually creating—not just raving about creations Besides, if you're any good at all as a designer you'll make a fortune. Some of the wholesale houses pay fabulous sums to their designers, and they can act just as ‘temperamental’ as opera stars.” <* tt a “PURELY they're not all like that?” Gail's amber eyes were twinkling as she looked at her guest. “Oh, there are exceptions, but most of them seem to think they are gifts from heaven and must be handled with care. Are you on your own? But there, you must think I have an awful lot of nerve to cross-question you like this!” For a moment Natalie's green eyes were veiled by drooping lids. “That’s the only way we'll get acquainted. I’ve just started to work with Madame Lizette. I had some training at school but of course I need some practical experience before setting up for myself.” As she spoke Gail thought how glibly she was repeating Derek’s advice. “Oh, Madame Lizette’s!” Natalie sat forward in her chair. “How. ever did you manage to get in there? I hear it’s awfully hard even to get an appointment with her to talk about a job! But maybe you had some pull?” tt n n Gail replied, and then revealed the manner in which she had secured her job. “You see, after all, it was only luck,” she went on, “and besides, I don’t know what may happen tomorrow. It wouldn’t surprise me from what I’ve seen at Madame’s if I should lose my job any moment!” “You don't seem to feel very worried about it. But, then, perhaps, you have money of your own.” “Just my prize money. I guess SSOO doesn’t go very far!” “Not if you’re living on it,” remarked Natalie, lighting another cigaret. “Still, I suppose you’re getting a handsome salary.” Once more the heavy lids drooped over Natalie’s green eyes. Gail shrugged her shoulders. Had she .spoken too freely to this stran-

ger? But, as though the duskyhaired girl had read her thoughts, she started up, taking the scissors with her. When she reached the door, she murmured. "Hope you don’t think I’ve asked too many questions. You know I don't want to pry into any one's affairs.” a a ■cpHAT'S all right. All I've told you might be published from the housetops. It's been ever so nice of you to stop and talk to me. Come >ack any time you like. “Thanks, I will. What time do you get home in the afternoon? I'm afraid I won't have a chance to return your scissors sooner.” “About 6, for I never hurry, although my work at Madame’s is over at 5. I generally go to dinner about half past 6.” “You're eating your meals here?” asked Natalie. “Yes. I don’t know much about other places yet.” “All right then, good night. I’ll be seeing you soon.” ‘Good night,” said Gail, closing the door. Alone again, she summed up the other girl, “A bit nosey, but not a bad sort.” Maybe they could go around some together, for undoubtedly Natalie knew the city well. tt u a glanced at her traveling clock and saw that it was only 10:30. She would have time to write to Miss Cranston before turning in. It was a shame she hadn't written her old teacher before. Opening her handbag, she took out her fountain pen, sat down at the desk, and began to write. “There,” she exclaimed an hour later as she re-read the letter and, folding it, slipped it into the envelope. “That should satisfy - the dear old thing!” A wave of color dyed Gail's cheeks when she thought of Derek. She had not mentioned his name! (To Be Continued) Seed Sown by IMane Bp United Pres* GRASS VALLEY, Cal., May .27.
