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

Chapter 80 HIS STORY I doubt whether Violet slept much that night. But the next morning at 8,vBud appeared at our door. We were sitting down to breakfast, when he knocked. I opened the door, and he came in, looking tired and a HfUe haggard he had not shaved and he evidently had not slept very well. Vi gave a little cry of relief and joy, and ran from the table and into his arms. "It's all right now. Isn't it?" she said, holding up her face for his kiss. "It's all right now, while I have my arms around you," he answered. "But the rest of it is all wrong. Can I have breakfast with you. Aunt Enid?" "Indeed you may.." And I went out to the little kitchen, to bring In cereal and hot milk, and more coffee. "And now don't talk till you are nearly through breakfast," ' VI said, pouring his coffee and forgetting to eat herself in her care of him. In spite of our anxiety, that made me smile. I knew then that no matter whom she married, Vi would make a perfect wife. She never nagged, she had her way when she wanted it by coaxing which is certainly the prettier method and she knew that no man is entirely human until he has had one cup of morning coffee. "Now!" she said, pushing aside her scarcely touched cereal, when Bud finished the coffee. "I can't tell you all the details," he said, "because I have to get into the office by 9. I don't know whether there's any music to face there or not. If there is, you'll have to protect me

from Meade, Aunt Enid," he added, turning to me. "He has a bad case on you, and if I get into trouble, you may have to get me out." "Don't talk nonsense, Bud,"I reproved him angrily. He flushed a little and turned to his eggs. Vi poured him some more coffee and used up all our tiny bit of cream in it. "About Pete and Simons." Vi said. "That's where you left off last night. Did you go home, by the way?" "No," he answered. "I hunted up a rotten little hotel and stayed, but I will go back tonight. If they are after me they will get me anyway." "Get you I don't understand," Vi answered, her cheeks growing white. "What have you done?" "Nothing." Bud answered, and repeated it. "Nothing. But I have been mixed up with a lot of stuff, and I will have a hard time proving I'm innocent if they go after me." "Eut I still don't understand " "Pete got himself into trouble and had to have money to get out. It was not even a case of losing the money he had put up he already has borrowed. Simons said he would lend it to him if he would let himself be knocked down and keep his mouth shut about it afterwards." "Knocked down why on earth ?" "It's a long story and I can only give you the outline," But said, drinking more coffee. None of us can .prove Simon said this be is. too clever to say it outright, and he never talks where people listen. It would be Pete's word against his, and he has a good reputation and Pete has not. But he is in, we think, with a gang who arc holding up messenger boys j

on the way around to bank down in'

wall street there are hundreds around all the time you know and getting off with the money." "Go on. I don't see yet, but " "Well, you will. You see, the money and the bonds and those things from the offices are locked up In leather bugs or satchels. They are locked with a key, usually, and strapped as well. Sometimes the bag is strapped to the waist, or over the shoulders of the boys who carry the stuff around to the banks. That is for greater safety. However, sometimes the firms get careless and neglect all these precautions. "In any case, the boys often carry a great many thousand dollars on them. I have myself. I have carried $20,000 in bonds and notes many a day." He spoke proudly, but Vi did not look admiringly at him, as she normally would. Bud settled back to his breakfast. "Well, it seems a gang of robbers has recently been formed, to rob the boys." "In daylight?" "Sure in daylight. How else could they? And right down in the busiest place in New York. It is all the easier - in a way, because a dense crowd thrown into excitement, gets in its own way. They suddenly knock down the boy, cut loose the satchel, get in a waiting taxi without a license tag on, or with a false one, and get away. It takes less than 60 seconds.

And if the boy loiters along the curb, near the cab. why, any man can reach out, grab the satchel and be off. Sometimes they gag and kidnap the boy, but mostly they knock him down, especially if the satchel is carried in his hand." "Yes. go on." "Well, that's what Simon proposed to Pete. And Pete needed the money, so he consented. They knocked him down yesterday and got off with $10,000, and I will bet Simon is sore because he didn't make a larger haul. Only, Pete wasn't supposed to struggle, and he did, without meaning to, and they did not hit him very hard. The police got suspicious and locked him up, and they wan't him to tell who did it." Tomorrow An Interlude.

Heart Problems I -j Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young girl; am pretty and a good dancer, and rather popular, but there is one thing that ' worries me, and that is what to talk about so as to make my company enjoyable. When I have dates with the boys I can always find somethig to talk about, but am afraid sometimes I bore my boy friends. I go with boys about eighteen and nineteen years old, and of course at that age they are not interested in dry subjects. The average twentieth century boy wants a girl to be lively and cheery. Of course I don't mean to talk continuously, but I want to know some things that will hold their attention. ;.. ... ...... , I go with the" very nicest society in town. Can you advise me on this. IN DOUBT. A person who is interested in her subject is usually able to hold the interest of others. Of course there

are some people who are entirely absorbed in a subject, but they are extremely tiresome because they talk about one thing too long. Read and observe and talk about the thing most suitable at the time and you will get along all right. 1 Naturally it is impossible for me to plan conversations for people. Dear Mrs. Thompson; Lam nine teen years old. I have been going steady with a young man for over a year. We would have been engaged, and even married, but there Is a reason that prevented. He is of another creed. We love each other very dearly. He says he couldn't gjve up his religion, and so what am I to do? He has asked me to turn to his faith, and I have told him I would. I know I will have a good husband and a home of my very own. He is quite wealthy, but I love him for himself alone, not for .the wealth that he may own. If I do his am I doing wrong? My parents are both dead. Do you think I will be happy if I turn to his faith? Any advice from you will be very much appreciated. ' VERY ANXIOUS. Your problem is one which can not be quickly worked out. Since you love the man so much, and do not feel religious fervor binding you to your own religion, I would advise you to look into the religion of your fiance. If you find that bis faith is something which appeals to you and to which you are willing to devote your life and give your children, then it would be all right for you to join the church and marry him. On the other hand, it seems to me that religion should be a greater force in life than love. A person should not i

forsake his church unless he finds that he can more deeply believe the creeds or teachings of another church.

RICHMOND MAN (Continued from Page One.) clined to accept the league of nations with satisfactory reservations. Those who are expecting Knox to be appointed secretary of state believe that in the near future Hughes will announce that he will not accept a cabinet portfolio, which will pave the wa for the appointment of the "irreconciliable" Knox, as the next "most available" . man for the most important of all cabinet positions. It also has been pointed out that Senator Knox and Mr. Harding are of the same opinion in regard to the Panama canal tolls question, which promises to become a most important issue as soon as Mr. Harding assumes the presidency. Ignore Plum Seekers. If Mr. Harding heeds the advice which is being given to him by many leaders of his party, he will ignore those men who have for years fought each other to see who would control delegations from the southern states to Republican national conventions, and whose actions at these conventions have frequently resulted in talk of scandals. These southern Republican leaders, mostly self-elected, have just two objectives in the political game, it has been pointed out to Mr. Harding. One is to take a hand-picked delegation to a national convention, and get the highest possible price in promises for their delivery. The other is to dictate the federal patronage in their several states when the Republican party is in power in Washington. The almost universal contempt in

which these men are held in their own states by the respectable element,, it is said is one of the big reasons why It has been so hard for the - Republican party to make any headway in the south. - "The thing to do." said a prominent Republican, "is to Bhow the south that no such humiliation as the dictaion of the appointment of the principal federal officeis in their states by tbe men who make a business of controlling 'hand-picked' delegations to Republican national conventions will be permitted by the Republican party."

ORPHANS DELIGHTED

MOVIE OUTING

The children of the Wernle Home went to the movies Tuseday. They cannot go every day nor even every week so they made best use of -their time In the theatre. Seven cars driven by George Cutter, George Deuker, Fred Hackman, Richard Kemper, George Kemper. J. R. Praetorius and Mr. Specht, superintendent of the home and a car from the Chenoweth company were sent out to bring the children. The children were not boisterous, but it was apparent from their faces that their anticipation was none the less keen. Even the j-ide itself wa.

picnic, and the temporary crowding;

vuibio were nine in one car. besides the driver) was only an excuse for more laughter. Enjoy Comedy. The Murrette, with a Mack Sennett comedy and a Fontaine Fox cartoon comedy, had been chosen by Snecht.

superintendent of the Home, for thej children's attendance. Sitting on the! edge of the seats, and bobbing up now i and then when some particularly exciting passage caused them to forget, their good behavior, their attention would have been a flattering testimonial to the film producers, if they could have observed it. Adventures of the comedians caused exciting moments for the audience. At another point, when the gallant but incautious employer of the powerful Katrinka tried to help her down from a box and she fell on him, there was an "Oh-h-s!" of horror and one little' girl sprang to her feet with wide eyes i and open mouth, but there was a sigh J of relief and a ripple of laughter when

Katrinka s victim was seen to be still intact, though damaged. , Patrons Watch. The longer comedy did not offer so

many points in common with its un-1 usual audience, but they were not critical and the old slapstick and comedy chase devices brought many a laugh. There was one particularly thrilling scene, full of delicious horror for the girls and of excitement for the boys. This was furnished by the hero's frantic attempts to keep out of , a lion's den and his adventures wheni he finally fell in. It was somewhat disappointing to the boys, however. He escaped unharmed. Several of those who had donated tickets to the home slipped in to see the children during the show and found more enjoyment watching them than the show, thus getting a liberal return on the small investment in( their donations. i
