In the arbor of the garden Turner's long search for Viola ends. Comforting her, she tt Its him he ttovld not understand why slw hadn't written him. After much questioning as to her apparent thangc in attitude, Viola offers to till Tipple all of her past. (NOW HO ON WITH THE STORY) CHAPTER 27 ••NO, NO, YOU needn’t tefl mo.” said Tiggie soothingly. “I know how it is. That fellow Norman —he let you down —didn’t play the game— didn't marry you.” She flinched at Hie words, hut Tipple's arm still held her. He went on speaking; no longer with agitation bill with quiet matter ef-faot decision. "And now listen to me I As I said just now, it's the future that matters. We can't change the past. We can only cut *t adrift. That’s what I'm going to «lo— with you, Viola. Do you remem ber when you said you were ship wrecked and took refuge on my raft? Well —you've come aboard for good. You —and all that is yours— are my responsibility now. You needn’t be afraid that I shan’t play ihe game. I’m not that sort of »wine. You know that.” “Oh >es, I know —I know* she mid, speaking in a sort of despair, while she sought, though gently, to free herself from his encircling arm. "It's Just that I mustn’t let you. that’s all. Please, Tiggie,” as he re sixted her efforts, “don’t make it too hard for me!” "I’m going to make ft Impossible,” he told her stubbornly, steeling him self against the entreaty in her voice. ‘ It's just that I’ve come for; don’t you sec? It' I give in to you now, I know very well what'll hap pen. So do you. You’ll go on, ut terly miserable—a sort of prisoner— losing ground from day to day—till in the end ” he broke off. "Well, we won't talk about that be cause it won’t happen. No, listen, Viola! It’s my turn* to do some thing, and I’m not a fool, so you needn't be afraid to give me a free hand. T know exactly what I’m do ing. And you’re going to be sensi ble and help me. Not for your own sake perhaps! I don’t flatter myself that you want to do it. But then you didn’t come here because you wanted to; only—because of the baby that’s corning in September. Am 1 right?” She did not answer him. She had ceased to attempt to free herself, but there was tension in her attitude. He sensed a very definite resistance in net, and braced himself to overcome it/V "Am I right?” he said again. •“Wasn't It—because of that?” ’ Perhaps,” she said in & whisper. •But—but, Tiggie ” He stopped her. “You needn’t make any more objections, because that's the main point with me too at the present moment.

"Just as much claim as anybody shipwrecked has upon any ! passing craft. I simply refuse to > leave you here to sink, so ir’s no use talking.” She uttered a sigh as of complete ■ weariness. "I don’t know what to say to you.” she said. “You needn’t say anythin o ,” said Tiggie. “Just trust rne. i hat’s all. and let me pull you out of these stormy seas! Gome, is there any thing wrong with that?” She sighed again. “I’ve fried—so hard —to keep away from you, ’ she said. “But it’s no use. This morn ing—when I saw you calling here I simply ran for my life, i didn’t think you’d aeeu me. | never thought you’d lie In wait for me. or I’d never have come back.” “That just shows the uselessness of attempting It.” said Tiggie. "Now promise me you won’t run away again!** She bowed her head on her breast. “There’s nowhere to run to—but the river," she said. "Don’t talk like that!” commanded Tiggie with authority. “You’re in my keeping now, remember, and T’rn go ing to see you through. That’s un derstood, isn’t it?” He tried to look into her downcast face. ”1 shall play the game—and so must you. Viola, promise me!” She clasped her hands together with a wrung gesture. "All tight.” she said. There was exhaustion in her voice and attitude. He saw that from sheer physical weakness her resist ance was failing, and the wonder crossed his mind if perhaps he had tried her too far as it was. Very gently he set her free. “Well, remember,” he said—“re member that you’ve promised! And now tell me, when can l see you again?” “Oh, I don’t know,” she said. “I ought not —to see anybody—wtthout Philip knowing.” "I’ll call in and tell him tonight then," said Tiggie. She started in quick agitation at that. "Oh no—oh no. you mustn’! Please —not that! Tiggie, please!" "My dear, it’s all right,” he said. "Don't be frightened! I shan’t do anything against your will. But why shouldn’t I see him? Wouldn’t it he best?” "No,” she said —"no! ” She pressed a hand to her lips as if to still their trembling. "Please don’t think of it! I couldn’t bear it. No! If you really want to fee me again—after you’ve thought It all over—T’ll meet you out on the heath any evening yon like — after dark.” “Bring a suitcase with you then!” said Tiggie practically. “I’m going to take you away from here.” She looked at him with startled eyes. "Oh, but—if 1 go, I can never —come back.” “I’m going to take you away from here," he repeated firmly. "And that’s all we need discuss. We'll go down to Spot—at Fame in Cornwall. They’re wanting you. You’ll he happy there.” “I don’t know—if I can,” she said wistfully. "Yes," said Tiggie with great de cision. “You do—you can. And we’ll start at once—tonight.” “Oh, I don’t know.” She still looked at him, a piteous doubt in her eyea “Aren’t you making—a great mistake?” she said. “My dear,” said Tiggie quietly, “that’s my affair, not yours. I’m only asking you to trust me. And you needn’t meet me on the heath. I shall be at this garden gate with a taxi at 10 o’clock, and if you are not there I shall come straight in and fetch you—Philip or no Philip. Is that understood?” “Oh, what can I possibly say?” she said, as one too hard pressed to bat tle further. “Simply say you’ll be there!" said Tiggie. “I’m going now. But.l shall do as I have said. And you—l can count on you, can I? Come, Viola! You’re not afraid of me?” “Afraid”—she said—“of you!” And suddenly, as if she could not help it, she held out both hands to him.

"She’d have got away too if I hadn't been pretty nippy.

His look was fixed, as though It rested upon something beyond Har vey’s faun-like countenance. But the latter was by no means disconcerted thereby. “A curious lit tle bit of thistledown," he com mented. “The sort that never comes to rest, anywhere! Are you sure you’ve got her now?” “Yes. said Tiggie. “And what are you going to do with her?” asked Harvey, frankly oil rious. Tiggie’s look did not alter. He made answer os one who speaks to himself. “I am going," he said, “to marry her.” Harvey made n slight movement of surprise. “My dear chap, is that necessary?” Tiggie’s eyes came to his so sud denly that they sepmed to strike sparks in the process, but Harvey was Harvey, and in a moment he smiled. “Yes, you old heathen, it is,” be said. “Because one man has let a woman down, does it follow that ” "Are you sure it’s only one?” in terrupted Harvey. “No, hear me out before you strike me! Remember. I came across her long- before you did. I saw ” p Tiggie leaned forward and over bore his reminiscences with sheer weight. “T don’t care a damn what you saw.” he said. “It simply doesn't interest me. The chances are you saw double. You often do.” Harvey uttered an involuntary laugh. “No. not on that occasion!” he protested. “But 1 see that the candid friend is as superfluous as usual, so I’ll say no more. Only marriage is rather an extreme meas ure. Can’t you play the fairy god father for a bit while you mark time?” “No,” said Tiggie somberly. “There’s been too much of that Al ready.” (TO BE CONTINUED) 11 the reason for their unemployment the fact that their landlords had cut them off because they said they did not need them under the new cotton acre age reduction contracts. This list also contains the names of the landlords who cut off these tenant farmers. Other lists are expected daily from the other tobacco counties. Reports .that other landlords are turning off their tenant families, us ing their tobacco acreage reduction contracts as an excuse, have come from Person, Wake, Wilson and sev eral other tobacco counties and de tailed reports from the reemployment offices in these counties are expected any day now. In Wilson county re cently a landlord farmer came to the reemployment office with his tenant to register him, and said: "He is a good tenant and has been with me for 19 years. But I don’t need him now since I signed my tobacco acreage reduction.” But when the farmer was told that this was irregular, contractory to the terms of the tolhiaeco reduction con tracts and hence would have to be reported to Washington, the farmer took his tenant back home with him. “There is nothing in the tobacco contract, of course, to prevent a land lord farmer fr6m discharging a ten ant farmer who has not been giVing satisfactory service and employing another in his place,” Waynick saiH. ‘‘And if the landlords can show that they have employed other tenant far mers and families to replace the ones they let off. they are entirely out of the woods and adhering to the terms of ther contracts. But if they have not replaced the tenant farmers they are cutting off with others and not keeiping the same number of tenants for their 1934 crop season that they Boys First Victory fn 1934 Basketball Season Edwards, Boyd and Duke Lead BuiToogs to Their Win Last Night Here RULES BLOCkTpLAYOFF OF GIRLS’ TIE GAME Miss Stewart, Substitute for ward for Henderson, Leads Local Attack In Last Half; Visitor* Had 10 to 3 At End of First Half Shaking off what jinx that has been, on their trail during the present bas ketball season, the Henderson high school boys’ and hirls’ basketball teams flashed a fine brand of bas ketball last night on the High Price warehouse court with the girls get ting a 14-all draw with Middleburg girlsand the boys winning their first game of the present season from Mid dleburg by a 22 to 17 count. A ruling in girls’ basketball pre vented a playoff of their tie last’ night. .Both games were thrillers, nice plays being turned in by all the teams. The local girls were slow in getting started, and were' trailing at the half rest period by a 10 to 3 score. At the opening of the second half Miss Stewart, a substitute, was sent into the game replacing Miss Nell ■Rowland at forward for Henderson. Upon this substitution hinges much of Henderson’s success, for during her stay, Miss Stewart shot nine points 1.0 lead her team. She was easily the star of the contest. The other local points were scored by Misses Kearney t wo, Nell Rowland, one, Mustian, two. The guards for the localp stood out on the defense. Middleburg leaders were Misses iCurrin and Dowlihg, each scoring six points. Miss St.evejs*«n scored the remaining two points. Miss Rose Mnhry turned in the best, defensive performance for the victory at her guard post. Boys Get Victory Paced by Edwards, Boyd and Duke, the local hoys flashed a beautiful pass ing attack to score their first victory of the season, Rudd Edwards and P.oyd shot eight points to lead Henderson in the con test. Red Duke shot six points to bring up Henderson’s total. Breedlove and Grissom led the vis itors with six points each. Faulkner and Hendricks scored three and two points respectively to account for the remaining points. ' “ Henderson took an early lead in the contest and was leading six to two at the half whistle. Middleburg ran her total score up even with the locals at 13-all in the third period, hut Boyd and Edwards furnished the ne cessary goal shooting to put the lo cals out in front. Duke’s floor work was outstanding for the locals, Breed love and Grisom were the best for the visitors. The lineups; had in 1933 .they are violating their contracts and not keeping their agree ment with the government. I have no idea of course, as to what the Fed eral government will do about this situation—but I do not. think it will be ignored.” While he has not yet made a de tailed investigation, and so does not have the facts, Director Waynick does not believe that all the tenant farm ers and their families are being re placed by others. Thus indications «-iro that the landlord farmers are cut ting off these families merely to re duce their expenses and thus increase their profits. “Under the government cotton re duction contract, which most if not all these landlord farmers have sign ed, the government not only agrees to pay them $17.50 an acre rent for the acreage retired from production below their 1933 acreage, but the gov ernment also agrees to pay the farm ers an added bonus of 12 1-2 per cent, of the value of their 193-1 crop, pro vided it does not exceed 70 per cent of their 1933 crop,” Waynick pointed out. “Both the acreage rental and the 12 1-2 per cent ibonus payment are designed by the government to help the farmers defray the cost of keep ing the same number of tenants or as many as they possibly can, the acreage rental of $17.50 per acre and the 12 1-2 per cent bonus are clear profit, or ’velvet’ for the landlords."

If he ruffed with bis 6, declarer’s 8 would win, then the Q would pick up the 10 held by East. If East ruffed with his 10 he would be equally picked up, with South’s Q and 8. South spread his cards claiming his game. If unfamiliar with this coup, note that East will defeat the contract if ho Is allowed to trump the third round of diamonds.
