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

Chapter 94 PETE'S EVIDENCE First the lie then the proof of the lie: I eat there too frightened to think clearly. What was to happen? I had always been taught to believe that a lie under any circumstances was an unpardonable wrong and here I was listening to the proof of untruthfulness from the man who wanted to marry my niece to marry the most preoious member of my family. After all. the fact that he had not told us of his debts did not matter so much that was forgivable. But who, in this unsympathetic crowd of men, would overlook the lie about meeting Pete on the street? It was so easy to say that if this one statement was wrong, all his evidence was false. And then what? I looked over at Francis, whose profile was towards me. I fancied he had that curious hard expression. But I could not tell, for the room was brightly lit at one end only, and there were , too many shadows. 'He asked for $10?" The lawyer's voice never changed a note. "Yes, sir." Bud's .voice shook a trifle. lie knew now what he had said. "So you did see him on the street?" "Yes sir." The boy's voice was weak now. Bud was thoroughly frightened. You denied that a little while ago." "Yes sir." "Why?" "I didn't want to drag Pete in." "Very considerate of " There was an impatient movement from the man at the large desk the gray haired man in the uniform with the braid, whom I took to be a sort of judge. Evidently he wanted to get through the proceedings as fast as possible and who could blame him, for it was Christmas night? and was not going to tolerate even one unnecessary sarcastic remark. That at least was in our favor. The lawyer broke his sentence in the middle, turned to the judge and remarked: "You see, this young man's evidence is not. always reliable. That is all for the time." A uniformed man came up to Bud

and motioned him to get down. I felt

one that he possessed loyalty. Names of girls were given, but he kept Toots' name out and when he mentioned Bud, he spoke as little a3 possible, and said that Bud asked him not to spend so much. "He's straight," Pete said. He managed to say thts twice during the evidence, though he was not supposed to do more than answer directly the questions asked. He was a huge, intelligent, but uneducated and coarse boy: he was inclined to familiarity and his great interest in life was making money ' by any means, questionable or otherwise, and then spending it in silly parties but he was generous, and kind-hearted and loyal. I nevor liked him before, but I found myself actually admiring him now. Francis went towards the door, and

motioned me to follow. Outside in the -

corridor stood Toots silly little Toots with her cheap finery and her huge fur muff and neckpiece her eyes red from crying. I turned from Francis and went over to her. Tomorrow Loyalty

Heart Problems

My dear Mrs. Thompson: I may as well state frankly that I belong to the well known "old maid" class. When I was a very young girl I had quite independent, notions about love and courtship. I would not "vamp" as other girls did to get a beau. I scorned everything that savored, of effort on a gjrl's part to attract attention. There was a boy who would have paid me considerable attention if I had let him. But to make it perfectly plain how I despised it all and how far above silly flirtations I was, I repulsed him coldly. I am known all over the country as a confirmed man hater as a consequence of this ridiculous attitude. "He" is still unmarried also but persistently ignores all my overtures. I sometimes feel that he even avoids me. Now I am quite certain that he is the only man for me. But 1 am entirely at a loss as to the best way to lay seige to his heart You see I have had no practice. Will you tell me. dear Mrs. Thompson, just what I

EIGHT ACCOUNTANTS, FIFTEEN WORKMEN, TO COUNT U. S. MONEY

(By Associated Press) Washington, Feb. 3. a complete count of the government's cash has just been made for the first time in twelve years. The total approximated thirteen billion, five hundred million dollars and included all cash and securities held as reserves against currency outstanding. The count was made by a special committee of three, assisted by eisbt accountants and by fifteen laborers who were used to move around tbfi heavy sacks of gold and. silver. The men delved into great valuts in the treasury building and took stock of gold, silver and paper money and securities, many of which had not seen the light of day since shortly after William Howard Taft was inaugurated President and a new treasurer of the United States, appointed .in 1909. Guarded Day and Night. The accountants in entering the vaults passed grim-visaged guards who day and night "sit on the lid" to prevent any possible attempts at an unauthorized raid on the treasury. The vaults themselves are supposed to be burglar proof and are of massive concrete and steel construction. The storage sections are kept under seal and this was the first time that some of them had been opened in twelve years, for when John Burke became treasurer after President Wilson was first inaugurated he accepted the count of cash in the storage sections which had not been opened since the previous count in 1909. The accountants handled money of every possible denomination from the lowly copper to $10,000 bills. Many of the bills, particularly those of the large denominations, such as $1,000. were in sheets of four each and held as reserve against currency of smaller denominations in circulation. Thousand dollar bills in circulation are few and each bank in, the country is kept supplied by the treasury with a list of them with their numbers so that if perchance any are extracted from the treasury illesallv the holder will have extreme difficulty in realizing on them. Electric Machines Used. The count just finished was made necessary by the retirement ' of John Burke as treasurer and was completed in the remarkably short time of three weeks throush the use of electric counting machines.. Loose coins passed through these machines instead of being counted by hand as was necessary in -the olden days. Paper currency was counted by the piece, but stored coins and currency were count

ed by the sack or package in cases where the wrappings were unbroken and the seal on each intact. Gold coins stored in the vaults were counted by weight. The gold is kept in sacks, sealed with the treasur

er's wax seal and containing $5,000 each, weighing about 18 pounds and 7 ounces. Upon completion of .the count the storage compartments of the vaults were sealed -with the seal of the special committee and a receipt was given to Mr. Burke, the retiring treasurer, by Guy F. Allen, his successor for the cash and securities of the government held in the treasury. When he signed the receipt the acting treasurer became personally responsible for the safekeeping of all the cash and securities in the building.

BOOK SELECTIONS PLEASE WILLIAMS Satisfaction with the selection of school books for next year by the state board of education was expressed by County Superintendent C. O. Williams, Thursday morning. He stated that the new geographies, spellers, physiologies, grammars and arithmetics that will be put in the schools of the state next year are the best ever selected by Indiana. The better quality of the school books selected is attributed to the fact that the $6 limit that has prevailed in Indiana for several years was removed by the legislature two years ago, so that a much better grade of books will be in stalled with a minimum addition of expense. Mr. Williams expressed the idea that the new books would be largely instrumental in bringing education in Indiana to a higher plane. He also said that teachers of the city were satisfied with the selections made and that they had recommended many of the books selected.

Mexican Labor Reds Call Conference (By Associated Press) MEXICO CITY, Feb. 3. Radical elements which separated from the fanAmerican federation of labor prior to its recent congress in this city have called a conference, beginning Feb. 11. Prominent on the program will be a discussion of the federation's meeting and the formulation of a program opposed to that organization.
