"We have pointed out before an I we w aid like to emphasize again that the legislature should consider ts forthcoming work in a spirit of give ana take, an I it must reach some sort of logical working basis if the s< -sion i- to afford the people the tin,I cf relief they ought to have. The governor called the -e.-sion evidently n the belief that there was substantial agreement on the part of senators and representatives to support such a program. Unless there is harmony and a working agreement at the -tart the session may accomplish nothing more than run up an expense ic ount for the citizens of the state

to pay.

“It is our feeling that the members of the legislature will lie responsive ‘o public opinion. Th, ref,ire the penile of Indiana sh u^l inform their egislators that they expe.t imniedate relief as far as it can be given ind that they are in no mood to tolerate a waste of time or failure to agree upon the , -entials of tax re-

form.

“Meanwhile the people have another opp itunity to curtail their governmental costs Budgets are in the making and it is the privilege of the taxpayers to scrutinize them, question proposed appropriations and suggest economy whenever it can he effected. Utilization of cash balances, to the end that appropriations for the future may be lowered, should be insisted upon in every taxing unit. With every taxpayer, large or small, alert and watchful, great savings will be possible in Indiana this year. Constant vigilance on the part of the , itizi'iis, however, will he necessary if their fight is to be won.”

SYNOPSIS Lily Lou Lansing, pretty, young deplume operator, lives with her named sister in moderate circumstances. She is turn betweea desire for an operatic career and in,* for wealthy Ken Sargent Follow mg a party at Ken’s home. Lily Lou r< alizes they are unsuited sooiallv and decides to gi'e him up. Ken overrules her objections and she accepts his proposal of marriage. A few days later they are ntarried at AYoodlake. They break ,he new personally , to Lily Lou's parents and send a wire to Kell’s folks. That night, both are uneasy as to the Sargents’ reception of the nows. Next day, they return home. M Sargvnt threatens to have the marriage annulled.

TH AFTER EIGHTEEN Ken’s mother followed them to the door. “This is sheei nonsense, Kenttield,” she said briskly, “I tell you your father has already taken steps. Your marriage is no marriage at all!” “1 won’t leave Lily Lou!” “I tell you the marriage will be annulled!” “Al! right. In September I’ll marry her again. In the meanwhile if you want to start a swell scandal about your own son, go to it! Go ahead! See if I care!” “Kenttield, I’m ashamed of you. My dear boy—listen to me—” They went down the stairs, Lily Lou red and hum-bated, Ken, white and shaking vvilli passion Ken started the motor, drove off. Lily Lou looked at his while, set face. ... He was driving fast . but where? AA'here, in all the world, was there a place for them to go? Idly Lou tried to thinl , but her brain wouldn’t work. She was ju t one blob of pain. Her bond ached, her eyes, her very bones. She wished . no. no, she wouldn’t wish it . . . but oh) to be back again —just herself, just Lily Lou Lansing. . Ken was driving. Just driving. Nowhere in particular. They were on a dusty, unused road, now, in the low hills, back of Piedmont. He stopped in the shade of an overhanging "ak, drew out his cigaret ease, reached for his lighter. Hut he didn’t light the cigaret. He sat there, looking at it. “Well, that was lure a warm reception.” She couldn’t find anything to say, so he cleared his throat, began sgum: “Mother's on her high horse, I can see that.” “Will your father—will he—” “lie’ll do whatever my mother wants,” Ken said bitterly. “He a>wajs lias. Only way to keep peace, 1 guess. ... So it’s all up with us, Lily Lou.” He flung out his arms stiffly, Jerked down his head. . . . She felt the convulsive heaving of his body ... he was crying, his head in her

lap.

Lily T.ou didn’t cry, but she felt sick and desolate. All alone, no one to turn to. . . . She stroked his hair with soft fingers. “Dear, don’t mind

too much. . , .”

And her heart was crying. , , . “This is the man 1 married . . . v/ho was going to take care of me. , . . Jfly Ken, who could sweep the world before him . . . here, crying on my l»p. ...” • She stroked his hair, in silence. Presently the heaving ceased. He lay still, breathing brokenly, his head heavy on her knees. When at last he lifted his face and met her gaze, his cheeks

(lushed, his eyes blurry, such a rush of tenderness as she had never felt before washed over Lily Lou, and I she didn’t care that he was weak, that he had cried, that lie had quailed before his mother. . . . She only knew that she loved him and that she had not known that love could be like this so weighted with pain- so binding. And the thought came to her, that even when Mrs. Sargent had had their marriage annulled »he -would still lx* Led to Ken . . . tied to him forever, by the hurt of her love, and the pain of her

memories. . . .

‘’AA ili you dick, Lily Lou?” “Will I . . . stick? . . . why Ken, you said it was all over—” ‘ I meant it was all over, trying to make up with the folks. But Lily Lou will you stick with me, even if mother has it annulled, . . . maybe she won’t anyway, but Lily Lou, will you stick with me? Will you be married to a failure?” 8he couldn't speak. The relief of healing him say it. . . . She smiled, tremulously, "Ken I ought to let

you go-

Let me . . . you just try. . . . It’s only that I thought of you. Suppose mother does have it annulled —it’s just like her- ” “Well, suppose she does—” Lily Lou tried to think. “Then we wouldn’t be married— honey—it wouldn't be legal—” Lily Lou gulped. She thought of her mother . . . her mother playing the wheezy organ in the church ut home . . . and Pop, always talking about taking a shot at soim body ... he never would, of course, but he did have a gun . . . and over at the store, the men gossiping and Rufe Fletcher, who owned the store slicing himself off a thin slice of cheese with the big knife, and nibbling on it as he talked. . . Oh, she did so want to be married, really married! Oh, why wasn't Ken just a little older, so he'd be 21 . . . “But we could be married again in September—” she told him. She wanted to hear him say it, to re-

assure herself—

“Oh, yes. Only it's sort of taking a chance for you. You know -if people start talking, and well , . . people do have kids, you know.” Lily Lou felt the hot blood mounting to her forehead. "It isn’t likely,” she said lightly. The same thought had occurred to her. She didn’t want to consider it. . , It wouldn’t do. . . . Besides, just as many didn’t as did , . . May and

Raymond..,.

. “Well, what shall we do? Oh, Ken, it’s been so funny. Right from the first we've been so sort of homeless. We had to keep away from my house, and yours, and here we are . , . and you haven’t any job, and I haven't any money . . She begun to laugh, a little hysterically, "and any minute we’re likely to be arrested for not being properly married—” He whipped out a cheek book. “No money? Look here—” She looked at the balance — almost a thousand dollars. “That isn’t so hot, but listen. . . I'll get on with Hoyt and Wickley, in the steamship end. . . . They are agents for a lot of lines, and I happen to know they need a man. When I heard of R I thought, ‘G?e, if 1 could only get into that, away from the darned office and figures. , . .’ You know—ships! That's my line, ships.
