CHATTER V So Pa had been having his troubler too. and trying to keep UMm irom her—to keep tier from worryIng' As Lilondie sat beside her father on the tenement steps, she realized what a great burden he had carried all his life. And now he was out of a lob, and no money. Poor old Pa! She hugged him again affectionately. "Well, I thought I'd have been aide to get something," the old man said .'But things are very bad all 'round—they're had. There are seveial matters—such as the rent, an' —uh—" Blondie glanced off toward the tbit entrance, her mind working rapidly. i think Ma paid the rent," said the girl knowingly. •How?" “Never mind." •'She didn't take yours—you know —your dress money?" Pa looked at Blondie in distress "Oh. I don't need another dress.” and Ulondie glanced down at the rip In the front of her dress. "Poor baby! I've got several good leads out though." said Pa trying his test to be cheerful. "Yes, and you've got several tilings swung with you, too. that aha doctor told you about," and

stood up up beside her father, gave him a swift kiss, and gently pushed him toward the McClune door. Pa smiled knowingly nnd Blondie ran downstairs. As she approached the waiting girl, Blundle's eyes narrowed. What was this? she thought, but she said nothing. “I’m going away." Lottie could not meet Blondie's gaze. "I thought you were up to something—where?" Blondie's voice was hard. "I told you" Lottie was still staring at the drab wall of the entrance. "A career. I thought I'd like to say—goodbye. I gue s you don't understand me and 1 don't understand you, anymore." Blondie could hardly believe hep ears, and she was frightened. Lottie going away? Where? What would happen to her? "You're just a fool, Lottie." “Goodbye, kid " There was ». catch in Lottie's voice as she moved away. Blondie was frantic. She didn't know what to do Louie—her pal— going. Stie cried out: "Lottie’ Come here. Mug! — Don't go! I got a hunch about it, Lottie —you shouldn't " "I've boon planning to get out of this dump foi months. I have." Lottie interrupted as though she had <xr*oted Just this. "WeP it's wrong. I know its wrong." Realizing that logical argument was futile, Blondie resorted to th" feminine plea, ail that was left. "How?" Lottie (luestlonod excited"You knotr, Did, 1 the rich aren't the happy people; they're tackin' 'em now.” . i ’ kfeSk

Blondie again assumed her ma-

ternal attitude.

"Doctors! Pm all right." Blondie looked at him quizzically. “I wonder," ahe thought. Then, seeing that he might catch the expression of fear in her eyea, she gave him a resounding kiss and

Hu id quickly:

"Do you know, we get three dollars bonus this week, on the "ter Sale at the store—three bucks—maybe more. All the girls are talking about It. Gee, they're " reams!" Blondie was making a lot of fust conversation to keep their minds off the doctor's verdict. "There's a party of them going to Coney Island on Sunday,” she concluded. , "Coney. Well, you're going, too.” "Who. me? With that hunch of n reaming molls—me?" Blondie's f .> plainly belled her derision. Realizing that her father knew she really wanted to go, she quickly v hanged the subject. "You know. Dad." she said, reaching for Pete's excuse to evade an l-sue, "the rich aren't the happy people; they're sockin' 'em now.

L'n not Iced, Lottie had come from I above Without a word she crowded between father and liter sitting on the stepe, using a battered suitcase to make the opening wedge Pa got up quickly, with a pleasant greeting. "Good evening, Lottie!" "Good evening, Mr. McClune." Lottie emphasized the Mister very haughtily. Ignoring Blondie she passed on down the stairway. Blondie watched Lottie descend t" the entrance of the tenement. There Lottie pulled over In the shadow of the doorway, and fumbled with her blouse. "Pm kinda scared about Lottie,” whispered Blondie to her father. "Why?" whispered back Pa. “Bhe’a kinda beginning to look around among the ginks — you know. Pa,” came softly from Blon-

die.

A little whistle carne up from U»« entrance. Quickly Blondie

Iv. still none too sure that the course she was taking was the right one. "Something inside me tells me it s wrong " Louie seemed relieved. "I'll write you Bom time to time." she said, reverting suddenly to her naughty attitude. 'Td rather you didn't,” Blondie replied softly, realizing she had lost the argument. "You'll only have trouble to write about.” "If appearing on the stage Is trouble and having a few decent things to my own Is trouble—then give me plenty of It, babyl" "Yea, and you'll p.iy for it plenty " Blondie had completely given up now. "Don't worry, kid—I'm smait." I aha looked Into I llondla'g eager face, strained with fear, she said brokenly. "1 like you, Blondie, I always have, and I always will - goodbye-—’’ Boftly, very softly, Blondie put her hand on Lottie's shoulder. Impulsively Lottie dropped her suitcase. whirled and threw her arms around Blondie's neck. They kissed Lottie quickly pushed Blondie away, picked up her hag, and almost ran out the door. "Goodbye, Mug—take care of yoursolt!" There were tears In Blondie's voice us well as her eyes as she called after Lottie. "I will." Lottie's voice floated back to Blondie but the departing girl never turned around. She, too, was crying. Blondie walked slowly over to tfia tenement entrance, her tear-tilled eyes following Lottie as she crossed the street. She watched intently as Lottie approached the flashy roadster, carefully parked some distance from the tenement house. Blondie's heart ached as Greenbaum sided Lottie and gave her a flourishing greeting. There was a perceptible catch in Biondle'a throat us the ttar door swung open and Lottie stepped In. The world seemed to collapse around Blondie aa the car daahed away with a roar of the exhauat. Lottie was gone—and Blondie was alone! (CONTINCRDJ lOopyrlftit.

It’s di.-tribut-c I in several places'.” The only “tough guy” in the gang, the informant said, is Van Meter, whom he described as “kill crazy.” Dillinger, he said, “is yellow” and “if he is alone when police surprise him he’ll surretvler without a -hot.” “It’s just a matter of time until some stool pigv n turns him up.” the St ir quoted the informant as saying. ‘ Bet I wouldn’t even squeal on a j rat.” I Tic informant -aid that “Dillinger! frequently comes within 20 miles of Indianapolis an I occasionally visits the city for a brief time.” “The last tint*- he was here was late in June when he . c pcnt four hours in a third floor apartment on the r. >rth side. “Soon after he escaped from Lake county, Dillinger made three trips to) Indianapolis to purchase new automobiles.

WOMAN KILLED; FOUR HURT RICHMOND, Ind., July 5, (UP)— One woman was killed and four persons were injured today in a collision involving two automobiles and a truck on the National road, west of

here.

Miss Verna Sturges, 24, Richmond,

was killed.

The injured were Thelma Saul and

Mrs. Robert Choate, both of Richmond, and A. D. Burwell and Joe

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., (UP) Utopia, a naked, languorous paradise ■m a tropical isle, beckoned today available to all good nudists for $1,000 per nude. And as soon as they have raised sufficient funds to purchase the iiland, and a small steamer at least 160 San Francisco nudists will be on their one-way trip to Paradise, according to Maurice Allard, president of the Nature’s Recreative Associa-

tion.

Allard disclose I the group intends to take for their tropical retreat the royal island of Vanna Vanna, in the Gambler Group. 1 h" verdant island, 250 miles south cn t of Tahiti, is nine miles square and abounds with coconuts, mangvs, guava, pineapples and breadfruit, Allard said. He said it is owned by a south seas prince, who has indicated an inclination to sell it. The Vanna Vanna group have it figured out that there will be twice the number of persons necessary to w rk pineapple and coconut plantations, products of 40 years’ cultiva-

tion.

Consequently, they’ll beggar the N RA by requiring only four hours’ work a day from the inhabitants. “Money?” Allard remarked. “We won't need any. The clothing bill will lie eliminated. Thi're’ll be n > butcher bills to fret about. Fish, crabs, turtle.- and shrimps abound.” Even the prospective little nudists are being provided for. 'i Im little nudists, Allard explained, i liter t ;e picture quite definitely, inasmqch as all members of the colony must lie married. Intermarriage lietween the succeeding generations is part of the scheme, so ultimately the island will lie peopled with a raco of super nudists. But Vanna Vannans don’t intend to

discard civilized ways altogetha Recognizing that even i n there may be divorces, alimony, parties and other matters r<m judicial decisions, the nudisu elect a board of governors, comi of chairmen, vice chairmen leak secretary-treasurer. It i< tfo ; who will collect, safeguard art burse the $1,000 membership)! Steamers will touch the 4 i lo only twice a month. Cun ly, the Vanna Vannans will radio station to keep in P , their friends. Allan! said he had omc lived years among the island-, v, under French protectorate, convinced of the scheme’s pnd bility. Temiieratures run from 84 degrees, generally, he -aid. And in their spare momem colonists will work ut> a mo-: pearl trade, he explained, t, little pocket money. He did not explain, huwewr, they’d do for puckets.
