A SWEETHEART AT THIRTY Ths Story of a Woman's Transformation BY MARION RUBINCAM

Chapter 54 A TANGLED WEB We heard someone unlock the door of the carriage house under us. Like two criminals we slipped over to the door, opened It glad that the leather bands used as hinges made no noise went out under the hay, and fastened the door behind us. Crawling along the dusty passageway, Violet choked up with the heat and lack of air and sneezed violently. She covered her face with her apron, and looked at me half frightened, wholly excited, as. we emerged, disheveled and covered with hayseed, from our exploration. "How long do you suppose he's had that?" she asked. 1 shook my head. I wanted to cry suddenly, it was all so very pathetic. James had a natural inclination towards machinery He was never happier than when he had tools in his hands. I believe he loved to have the farm machines break down so he could repair them. To be sure, he occasionally experimented trying, to improve tbem. and sometimes the results were disastrous. "Do you suppose he knows about it machinery and things like that?The girl asked. "Of course he always wanted to be an inventor. He used to talk about it lots when we were children. And do you remember the carts he made from spools, and the funny engine that worked when he pulled a string?" I nodded. James had saved up the empty spools for months in fact, for a couple of years. Out of them he constructed some sort of thing for It had no name with string and rubber bands. It was so arranged That by pulling out a cord wrapped around a large spool, he could make the whole combination run it produced nothing but motion and useless motion at that, the spools whiled around and knots of string danced in the air, and the whole thing was very ingenious. James

used to play with it whenever he had

I hem," as Jim started to protest. "How'd you get that stuff then? And digging yourself a place through the hay and carrying matches in the barn. You light the lantern up in that workroom of yours " with a sarcastic inflection on the word workroom, "and you set the barn on fire " "It was you set it on fire before!" he roared out suddenly. "It was not," James turned to him with clenched fists and white face. "I made this workroom this Spring, and I've got asbestos around the lantern to keep it safe. If you'd give me a littie time now and then I wouldn't have to sneak away just to read and experiment with tools " "You answer me back " Jim's voice kept rising. "Hush!" begged Esther. "He won't do it again." "You bet he won't. I've smashed every wheel he's got in the place." There was a wild cry from James. "You did? You did? Then I'll tell on you! I'll tell Mother about that woman in Eastlake "

I Heart Problems J Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am engaged to a young man to whom my parents object. I am twenty-one and he is one year my junior. He has not had a high school education, while I have, and am now able to take care of myself. My people say I should go with someone my equal. They admit my fiance is a nice boy, but that I am not siming high enough. He is a good steady boy and possesses the qualities I would want in a l usband. Our tastes are similar and we usually agree. He is studying in his leisure hours to fit himself for a better position in life. I love him and am content to wait till he Is ready to take care of a wife. Am I right or

suouia i nsten to my parents?

home? My parents think a great deal of him, There' is another fellow who is in love with me, but I do not care for him. My father wishes me to go with this fellow rather than the one who loves me.- BLONDE. No, do not invite the young man to your home. Since he has been calling, you may be sure he will do so again if he wants to. If he has grown indifferent to you, the best thing for yon to do i to stop thinking of him and make up your mind he is not the man for you. Dear Mrs. Thompson: What will remove a wart from my thumb? ROSE. Wind a little cotton on the end of a toothpick. Dip the cotton in nitrio acid and apply to the wart.' Be carelul not to get the acid on the skin r. round the wart.

ume ior u, always wun a Droaa grin my family have too much false pride of delight over his face as he watched In my opinion, it is character and noi

its crazy antics

And Violet and I liked to see it

but Jim growled over the time wasted i

making it, and finally Esther picked it up as trash and threw it in the fire. Poor James! He had great ambitions in those days and I wondered how completely this constant suppression was affecting him! We shook the hay from our hair and clothes and went back to the house. For weeks afterwards I watched James as closely as I could. One wakeful night I heard, or thought I heard, him slip out the kitchen door. And one day Violet came to me and said she had told James we had discovered his "work room." "We didn't go to Lena's last night

as we said," she told me. "We went

out there and he showed me the things

he was making. He wants a real work : room and a gasoline engine some day. j

He s going to do all sorts of fine things. Wouldn't it be wonderful it

he did become an inventor? Youj

know, he made a clock and it runs k nit of parts of two old alarm clocks." Phe rattled on enthusiastically. "Jf I only could tell Mother or Father if only they would help," she sa'd. "Really, James should have gone to college. It's wicked to send me 1 11 never be anything." . Her eyes grew round and wistful at once. I knew shp was thinking of Bud Bud in the city, in daily contact with Pete, and doing she had no idea what. Then something happened that took cur ideas from Bud and every other problem. We were doing the bedrooms one morning, when a perfect explosion of oaths from the kitchen made us look at each other white-faced with fright. Jim's voice came roaring up to us Jim "was in one of his murderous rages. James' voice came to

us, too and Esther's in pleading;

tones. "If Esther is being a peace maker, something has happened," I said. And boih of us ran down the stairs. "Wasting your time on such trash," Jim was saying. "You !" A string of oats followed. "Hush, Jim, the neighbors " 'To witli the neighbors," Tim shouted. "Do you think I can keep still when I find my son who ought to be of some use is wasting his

not

money that counts. THANK YOU. I think your opinion is right. You are too young, however, to be sure that you have chosen the right man. If I were you I would not even be engaged for a few years. Your fiance will not be old enough to marry for another five years. In my opinion five years would not be too long a time to wait.

OBERLIN MAY START TECHNICAL SCHOOL OBERLIN, O., Dec. 18 A technical school, to cost $400,000, and to accommodate 750 men, may be added to Oberlin college within the next few years, President Henry Churchill King declared in a chapel address, during which he outlined the plans. Oberlin's location between the iron and coal districts makes it a logical and ideal situation for a technical institution for the training of men in the practical handling of industries and in their management, President King declared. With ore coming down from Lakes Superior and Michigan regions and coal coming up from the Pennsylvania and Ohio mines, the natural point for these two vital elements of steel, Dr. King said, is believed by experts to be the Lake Erie district of Ohio. Three little towns along the lake front have harbors which could be improved by dredging, Dr. King said, and Lorain, Toledo and Cleveland already have large harbors which are being used by many Industries.

Red Elements Fail To Capture the Fleet TOKIO, Dec. 18 Press advices from Nagasaki state that Bolshevik elements despatched from Russia have made a vain attempt to capture the Russian volunteer fleet steamer Simbirsk, which was anchored at that port. Emissaries from the Vladivostok government visited the ship and demanded its surrender to the Bolshe

vik representatives. The commander

BIBLE STUDY COURSE REFERRED TO SCHOOLS

Endorsement to the proposed plan of conducting a 10 weeks' Bible study course in Richraona was given by representatives from nine city Sunday schools, at the Y. M. C. A., Friday night. The meeting was called by the City Sunday-school association executive committee. While the representatives endorsed the plan' personally, they felt that they could not speak for the Sunday school bodies of the city. It was, decided after prolonged discussion to have the representatives present, obtain endorsement of the Sunday-school association, y their respective Sunday schools, sand be authorized to cast votes binding the individual Sunday schools to any program which the united group of representatives may decide upon. Although the City Sunday-school association has been in existence for years, and now has a full set of officers, the organization has been so dormant in the past few years, that it was felt that renewed strength) and authority could be wielded providing local Sabbath schools re-pledge their support. Nothing definite relative to adopting a plan of conducting the proposed training classes will be done until the Sunday schools have made the decision.
