What Has Gone Before: David Langston, handsome young farmer of the Limberlost country tn Indumu, has started building a house on his farmstead. This immediately starts village tongues to wagging in speculation over which of the village belles «a to be his bride. Although David has no definite plans for matrimony, he is devoted to Ruth Jameson, on orphan who, with her young sister Naomi, lives with Granny Moreland on the farm adjacent to his own. However, Mrs. Biddle, society autocrat, determines that David shall marry her daughter Thelma, and until this end in vie to persuades Ruth, the penniless rival, to come into her home as a menial. On the night of Thelma’s twentij-first birthday party, the scheming girl contrives to have David slip the birthday cake ring on her finger “to see if it would fit.’’ Immediately her mother appears, loudly voices her congratulations and announces the ••engagement" to the party guests. David is bewildered, and Ruth is completely crushed.

Chapter Four

There wasn’t much you could do about it now, David thought unhappily as the days sped past. You •ouldn’t let a girl down before the

day, nnd we decided. . .er. . that Naomi should be in the County Orphanage.'’ The little old lady suddenly stopped rocking in her chair. She stared at the invaders with shocked and unbelieving eyes. “Orphanage!’’ she gasped. Repeated u as though it were an evil spell: “Orphanage! ... Why you couldn't do that! I’ve raised the child, .love her like my own . 1 haven’t much, but she’s never wanted for anything.” David added his own protest. “Why, whoever made such a silly suggestion? Naomi's getting love here. She's happy and well cared for.,.and I’m Willing to guarantee personally all the money needed for her...” That wasn’t the point, Prewett persisted. The child wasn't going to school. And when Granny declared that she sent Naomi every day, poor Naomi broke down and admitted that she hadn’t gone. She would | have to pass David's house to get there... "What's that got to do with it?’’ I David asked, bewildered. I “That was going to be our house,” Naomi wept. “You said / was your sweetheart, that night at the husking bee. ..And now she's going to live in it, so I don't ever want to , see it again! I want to go away!” she cried hysterically. Mrs. Griggs stood up. Mr Prewett reached for his hat. "I think,” said Mr. Prewett in an icy voice," that the child badly needs some competent supervision.”

He had seen Bert Monroe driving Ruth in his new gasoline “buggy".

whole countryside.. You couldn’t let your friends know you weren’t pleased and proud — the expectant bridegroom! But nothing seemed the same now, not even the bouse. . Thelma's ideas nnd his seemed never to agree He and Ruth had thought a wistaria vine by the door would be lovely Bu’ Thelma declared bay trees would be more elegant. Thelma cumpluitiad that the closets were too small to hold her dresses, the living-room too tiny for the parties she would want to give. In fact, David soon discovered that Thelma didn’t want a farmhouse anyway. She wanted him to sell it, leave his farm and go into the real estate business with her father. Thelma wanted to live in town ■ David sighed. He was sitting In the hammock with Thelma — and 4ach was lost in dreams unshared by the other. "I'm not suited to city ways,” David said slowly. “Harvesters — that's what my people were . . And that's what I am! I love the feel of the soil — like a sailor fancying the sea, I suppose...” “You'll never see the ocean,” Thelma said disapprovingly. "If you spend the rest of your life walking up one side of a row of corn and coming back on the other! Look at Bert Monroe — he went to Indianapolis and made good!” “Made money,” David corrected mentally, savage with sudden resentment. He had seen Bert Monroe, driving Ruth in his new gasoline buggy out to see Granny. Had seen him squiring Ruth at a neighborhood party. He wished that he could punch Bert’s head! He sighed again. He hardly saw Ituth any more. Only when Naomi came to the house could he seem to recapture something of the lost dream. And Mrs. Biddle complained whenever she found Naomi there. The last time she and Thelma drove out, Naomi was bathing Belshazzar In the tub. Somehow she had contrived to let the dog shake the water from his shaggy coat all over Mrs. Biddle’s smart frock! David smiled wryly, remembering. And no suspicion of the ominous portent of that Naomi-Uke episode troubled him then. A Little Truant But a few days later, stopping by to bring Granny a load of wood for her stove, he was surprised to find Mrs. Griggs, matron of the County Orphanage and Abner Prewett, chairman of the County Board, calling They bad come, it unbelievably appeared, to take Naomi to the orphanage. The child was not getting proper attention with Granny, they claimed. "Mrs. Moreland,” said Prewett in his oily voice, "now that Ruth’s working out, and you’re — er — getting along and not, so to speak, in the best of circumstances, we’ve been thinking. . . Well, there was a meeting of the County Board yester-1

"It's high time,” Mrs. Griggs added. Granny Moreland was too stunned to protest further. David, however, was determined that this awful thing should not come to pass. “Im going to see Mrs. Biddle... She’s on the Board, and maybe she can help us.” Mrs. Griggs and Mr. Prewett smiled faintly. Mrs. Griggs cleared her throat. "I'm afraid it will do you no good,” she said acidly. “The committment papers are all signed, and all the formalities have been taken care of. ..” And though Granny pleaded, daz-i ed, and David argued vainly, they took the child away with them. "The Liinoen Hand of Fate” David tried to comfort Granny. "I'll see Mrs. Biddle. She can sure^ ly help ui,” he reiterated. But Granny shook her head sadly With the wisdom of many years on hot shoulders "Pleaae go, Davey... I v/ant to be — alone.” She sat for a long time, rocking, In her worn old chair, thinking, remembering bright lost days when she and Ruth and Naomi and David had known so much of happiness, i he winter had taken it all away. .. David’s house was finished now — but he never would be happy in it . . It was spring now, but the robins would not come back to the empty nest outside her window. . And In the unseen hand of Fate, the thread that measured out the length of her days was drawn between the inevitable shears... Everybody came to David's housewarming party — came bringing gifts and gaiety — but David felt himself outside of all the fun, a stranger in his own house! Darkly he watched Bert Monroe joking with Ruth, eaw Thelma push between them, avid for attention from the boy who "made good." He frowned, but it didn't seem to matte/ any more... Then Dr. Carey came In. Hurriedly he summoned David and Ruth. "Granny’s very ill —” hia voice was ! grave. “She wants to see you t both...” | And as they hurried out with him, , Mr Hidd!e nodded thoughtfully, ! With Granny gone, she would pack , Ruth off to Terre Haute. She had a sister there who could use a ser- ; vant. And then things would move smoothly as she wished. "After all," I she said lightly, “Granny is old... ’ There's nothing we can do...Pass ■ the cookies, Thelma.” ‘T can’t realize ■” David said dls- ■ tractedly as they hurried up the old > familiar walk. “She seemed all right ’ yesterday...” “She’s been falling for some time." Dr. Carey shook his head. f "But there must be something w« ) can do—” "There la no remedy,” the doctor ! said under his breath, “for loneli- ] ness — and a broken heart.J k (To by continued^ j

OBITl'.YRT Beautiful mother! With thy work all done— Beautiful spirit! To heaven now gone— Beautiful life.'' With thy crown won— God giveth thee rest. Mary Ellen (Reed) Call, daughter of Johnathan and Lucretia Reed, was born August 17, 1843, and departed this life June 9, 1936, at the ripe age of 92 years, 9 months and 23 days. In 1865 she was united in marriage to Andrew Call, a Civil War veteran. To this union were born eight children, three having preceded ner to the heavenly home. Ada A , Omar A . and Nellie May. also her dear husband. She leaves to cherish her memory two daughters, Mrs Morris Keyt and Mrs. Thomas Roach; three sons, W. A.. Frank and DeLoss; twelve grandchildren; twenty-seven great grandchildren: many nephews and nieces; also a nost of dear friends. At a very early age, she united with the Christian church and after marriage, she with her husband were affiliated with Union Chapel. During the fifty-one years which elapsed between their passing, she had the highest esteem tor religion and always regarded the work of the church as first in importance, attending all services and assisting in all its activities her health would permit. During the many trials which she had to endure, she found comfort and strength in the scripture, often quoting the following: “The I <ord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear?” As a member of the Order of the Eastern Star, she leaves a vacancy that cannot be filled. The principles of the onler were so clearly reflected in her character; the kin< linens, love and loyalty portrayed by the heroines were so manifest in her life that she was a constant inspiration for good to other members. For the last several years she divided her time among her children, making her home with them. During tier last illness she was at the home of her eldest son. Here she received the tender care of her faithful children and kind neighbors. Ninety-two years is a long span of life, longer than is allotted to the average person. It means: many joys, many sorrows, much service to be given, much to lie received; a wide circle of friends and acquaintances, often broken, but growing wider with each succeeding year; a nlace in life no one else cun ever fill: but at its end comes the greatest of al’ blessings—rest. Shortly before her passing she revealed to a neighbor and a granddaughier the following version of a vision which appeared to her near the close of her illness. “I saw off to the far ends of the earth, and I saw the Lord appear. One of His angels appeared and left u stamp on my bedpost. And the Lord said to the angel. One of my stars is missing. Go find it.’ Tne angel flew and circled over me. Right up there was the star. At first, it appeared to be square but when I looked again. It was a perfect star. It has been there ever since. When the angel stopped right over me it said, ‘Here, Lord, I have found your star,’ and the Lord said, 'Bring it.’ That was the first time 1 hsd ever heard the Lord's voice.” Tims ended the vision and thus ends a beautiful life.

One of the modern mysteries of the sea was solved when British authorities caught up with the Girl Pat, an English boat which had been hijacked by its crew, allegedly for piratical purposes. A police trawl was forced to ram the boat in the Caribbean before forcing surrender of the crew who were taken to jail in British Guiana to await trial.

HAWAII URGES FLOGGING HONOLULU < UP i Flogging has been reintroduced at Oahu prison recently, reopening a public contioversy concerning corporal punishment. With the prison board’s approval, Acting Warden Joseph Ordensteln ordered 30 lashes each be laid actoss the backs of Charles Cooper and Julian Eugster, incorrigible inmates who had defied all attempts to bring them into line of institutional routine. The punishment is being spread over an extended period. The convicts first received six lashes each with a cat-o’-nine-tails made of

knotted rope. If their behavior does not improve they will be flogged periodically until the ,30 lashes are administered. ’i he flogging recalled the celebrated Lucas Candido case of 1929 After twice escaping from prison. Candido was ordered flogged. The case went into the territorial circuit court on habeas corpus proceedings to enjoin prison authorities from flogging Candido. The court forbade the use of the lash, but the territorial supreme court overruled the action, holding flogging a legal means of inflicting | corpora! punishment.

WASHINGTON. D. C.—With the national conventions of both political parties over for another four yeai-s, Republican and Democratic leaders arc marshaling their forces for an intensive campaign in the three pivotal states of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. Each of these important states may well lie listed in the doubtful column so far as the definite chances of either party scoring a decisive victory And the importance of the outcome of the presidential race in these three populus states is evident when it is considered that New York has 47 votes in the electoral college, Pennsylvania 38, and Ohip 26 a total of 111 votes. Numerous factors figure in the complicated political situation in all three states. Pennsylvania has long been classed as a stronghold of Republicanism, largely because of the overwhelming margin piled up by the G. O. P; in Philadelphia, but the tide has been turning in favor of the Democrats and it appears quite possible that the Keystone state may come under the New Deal column when the final vote is cast

this fall.
