Folks say she’s made so much money that it would take a coal scoop to handle it.” “That’s nice,” said Cathy “What wonders me,” said Aunt Maggie as the Betsy-Bug scampered past the impressive field-stone fence • with its grilled iron getes, “is how Bill stands living there. Like living in a jail —Oh, of course, with all modern improvements. But a jail just ithe same.” Cathy hesitated. “Well, I sup pose he feels under obligation to her. After all, she did adopt him when he was fifteen, and gave him every possible advantage. And he and his mother had had a terrible time.” * “Sure, sure—but if Edith Ken dall could be made to remember that Abe Lincoln freed the slaves,” said Aunt Maggie. Cathy laughed unsteadily. “Darling, I’m beginning to suspect that you don’t like Mrs. William Kendall too much,” she said teasingly. “Like her? Does anybody?” snorted Aunt Maggie. “Anyway, she’d resent it furiously if any body dared to like her. She’s much too important to be liked. She wants to be like Ben Bolt’s ‘Sweet Alice’—she wants people to ‘tremble with fear at her frown and weep with delight at her smile.’ She wants to be known as the Lady Bountiful of the Manor—provided she doesn’t have to spend more than a dollar and a quarter befriending the ^oor.” The Betsy-Bug had left the yellow brick with its imposing grounds and was progressing steadily, if not speedily a mile or so beyond, to where several cottages faced each other along the highway, each with its own garden plot and half an acre or so of farm land. A neat white picket fence en closed one of these. It was a trim white cottage, freshly painted, hip-deep in blossomi n g shrubbery, its walk and drive blazing with, spring flowers, the orchard at the back hung with scarves of palest pink and creamy white. Aunt Maggie turned the Betsv Bug’s blunt nose through the Tctevijicm SMALLEST EMERSON SELF-POWERED PORTABLE MODEL 560—Its beauty, its power, its perform ance fairly sing out its QUALITY.

Fresh paint and the pickets all in the place.” “Well, what did you think I was going to do with all that money you sent home—spend it in riotous living?” demanded Aunt Maggie. “I finished paying for the house, and then I put in electricity and waterworks and some new furniture, and painted it—and made a deed out in your name.” Tears were very close and she finished tartly, “And now, for Pete’s sake, cut out the .weeps and come on in. I know you’re worn out.” She unlocked the kitchen door. Since she made her trips to and from town, seven miles away, in the Betsy-Bug, and since the garage was at the back of the house, the front door was rarely used, and seldom even unlocked. Aunt Maggie led the way in and Cathy was properly impressed with the spick-and-span kitchen with its new electric stove and icebox and hot-water heater, the shin ing green-and crcam-c o 1 o red linoleum, the perky green per cale curtains with their yellow tulips tumbling gaily over th e background of green. Aunt Maggie took her proudly through the house and Cathy was deeply touched at the, shin ing order the freshness and un deniable charm of the little place “This is your room, ’ said Aunt Maggie, and stood back to look at it. The cream-colored walls, the ivory woodwork, the honey-maple furniture, the glaz ed chintz draperies with the ruf fled organdie looped back be neath them. “If you don’t like it, we’ll heave it all out and start over again.” “Like it? I love it! You’re a darling,” said Cathy warmly. “Phooey!” said Aunt Maggie, once more her brisk, vigorous self. “Your clothes are in the closet—the stuff you left behind. Maybe you’d like to get out of that uniform and into something cooler. There’s plenty of v-ater for a hot bath. I can’t get used to the fact, that there’s always plenty of water for a hot bath, with that electric heater in there. And I’ll fix us some sup per ” • * * They had had supper and the j dishes had been washed and put away, and Aunt Maggie and Cathy were on the wide, old fashioned front porch when a car came swiftly out from town and skidded to a stop at the gate. A man leaped lightly over the low gate and came running up the walk. It was dusk, but Cathy would have known him in pitch-black darkness, even before he spoke. She sat very still in the gre *n painted porch glider, a dim fig ure in her pale blue linen frock. She could not have stood up or gone to meet b.m if her life had depended on it Her knees seem ed to turn to rubber, and her heart was beating so fast that her body seemed shaken with it. •Cathy!” said Bill. His voice was little more ihcn a choked whisper, yet to Ca .hy jt was like a great shout that, made her heart turn over. “Cathy—oh, my dearest—is it really you?” He came to her, stumbling a little, and knelt beside her and drew her into his arms, holding her close and hard against him. Neither of them knew that at the first sight of him, Aunt Mag gie had risen and left the porch. They had forgotten Aunt Mag gie; they had forgotten every body save themselves and each other. There was a long, blessed in terval. It might have been mo ments, it might have been hours; neither of them knew nor cared. It was enough that after long, long months of waiting, they were together again. But when at last ha held her a little away from him and could look into her yes, Bill asked sternly, “What was the idea of just slip ping home and not saying a word to me, Cathy? Why didn’t you let me know you’d he here today?” “I sent you a wire from At lanta yesterday,” she told him. She saw his brows draw to gether in a puzzled frown. “You sent a wire? I didn’t get it,” he said then. “I sent it to the house, think--’ Worry Of FALSE TEETH Slipping or Irritating?

Bill grinned wryly. “She still would like to do my breathing for me, but since that is out of the question, she just tries to live my life for me,”’ he admitted, and finished grimly, “It’s quite a tug o’ war between us—but I think I’m holding my own.” (To Be Continued) of Commerce; Robert Dannen baum, manager, Thrif-T store; E. ,H.

Fales, presi dent of the New Hanover society is expected to appoint a local committee within the next few days, the spokesman disclosed.
