But within the lighthouse everything was snug and tight. Giles as he watched Dilly going back and forth between the kitchen and dining room, wholesome and sweet, and smiling at her good William as be •at by the Are with the baby In the crook of his arm. was aware of a lifting of hie heart. He seemed stripped for the moment of some ghastly garment which in his own gloomy house confined his soul. -It’S so good to be here." he said to Oilly, and followed her to the kitchen and helped her bring In' the steaming dishes They sat down, and when William said grace' In his steady voice, something in Giles an swered it like a cry: "What I want (a this ... a wife , . , s child . . . lovo like this . . ." After supper they went into the bright living room, and Dilly and Giles sang nursery rhymes for the baby—Oranges and Lemons—and I Had a Little Nut Tree—and What Have You Got for Dinner, Mrs. Bond? and There Wan a Lady Loved a Swine, and Dame Get Up and Bake Your Pies . . . Giles and Dilly had sung the songs as children together, and now as they kept time to the lilting tunes. Giles felt something of a youthful gayety of spirit, so that when they came to London Biidge he caught Dilly up and made her dance it with him. They finished breathlessly. The baby was In ecstasies. William ap plauded. Giles, light-hearted was a boy again. When it was time for him to go, be said. "1 hate tn leave. You’ve mode such a gorgeous evening of it, DUly.” "You made it yourself.” "No. No mere man can make an evening like this. A man Is only the bricks and mortar of a house. The woman Is the hearthstone and the flame of the fire and the light of the lamp," he smiled at her, "and you’re •1) that to your William and be fcaews It.” *And so do I,” said happy DUly. • • • . "You must feel." Joan said, "as if Your feet were flying." Small John Briggs said, sturdily, ■Veet can’t fly.” "Min* can.” Joan told him. ‘Hike this.” she made a little movement of lightness and grace, gliding upward ? with upstretched arms like a bird on —j* Ofe wing.

Some of the children couldn’t pay. but that made no differ ence. Penelope met their expenses. "But you must not,” Joan had pro tested. "Why not? I always wanted to dance, and 1 never had the chance. And these children shall have their chance." “You are sure you aren’t doing It Just for me?’’ Joan had insisted. “And if I did, my dear? Wouldn’t I do it for my—daughter?" And Joan had said, shakily, “How am 1 ever going to make up for all your goodness?” and Penelope had answered, “By loving me." It was three weeks since Drew Hallam had come and gone. Joan had heard nothing from him. And Penelope had been a tower of strength. Joan had told her the whole story. "I couldn't do it," she said, "and yet sometimes it seems as If I can’t live without him.” She had sent back Adelaide’s check, "I am done with it all,” she told herself, and after that she set herself sturdily to finding some ab sorbing occupation. "It is the only thing that will save me, Penelope. I mustn’t —think . . .” It was through Evelyn Briggs, the mother of the two children who had danced In the wood that the sugges tion came. “What had you thought of?" she had demanded, when Joan went to see her. "I might have a dancing class,” Joan said, "I can do things better with my feet than with my head." So it was decided. And it was in planning for the class that Joan cemented her friendship with .Evelyn Briggs, and found in it a deep and satisfying quality. Evelyn was a widow. Her hus band had been killed in the Argonne, and she lived now with her farmer father and with an invalid mother. Her Lather was too old now for heavy tasks, and labor was high, so there were few crops harvested. Old John Leonard tended the garden, looked after the chickens, milked the cow, and helped with the housework. He was always cheerful and was a source of strength to Evelyn. Her meager income as a teacher had to be stretched to meet the expenses of the whole family, but she never thought of her father as a failure. She knew he might have been a suc cessful man if It had not been for his invalid wife, He had sacrlftcegiiii career In the city for her sak,#" \ ; Oiy the afternoon of lesson, Evelyn and walked WBod "to Penelope’S. They were to have a cup of tea. and see that the children got home safely. Evelyn spoke of Joan. "She says very little about herself. But when she was here In the early summer she was supposed to be her aunt’s heiress. And now she seems to be earning her living. And she is not happy . . “How do you know?” (Copyright 193), by Central Press J (N. C.)

If we look for it . . . but not perhaps in the way we want it.” She tucked her hand In his as she walked beside him. In all the years he had never failed her. She felt that if she ever lost faith in him she would lose faith in God. When they came at last into the golden-lighted room, the children fluttered across the floor to meet them, "We’re to have a Thanksgiving pageant . . . Miss Joan says . . .

"It is like this . . . we are afraid we've been too much interested in turkey and stuff ing 'n' everything, and not enough in being thankful, and so we thought we might bring harvest gifts for the poor on Thanksgiving eve, and make a pageant of it. What do you think?” The children crowded close, "What do you think?” they chorused. Old John Leonard said. "1 think It couldn’t be better. You see food meant a lot to the Pilgrim fathers, because they knew what it was to go hungry. None of you have ever gone hungry; you have everything you want, and forget where you get it . . .” Small John Briggs interposed, “I haven’t everything I want." None of the children had. It seemed. They flung back as It were at old John Leonard the words he had spoken. In a perfect babble of sound they proceeded to tell the things they lacked. Joan stopped them. "You tell first what you want, John.” "Well," said young John, "I want money. If you have money you can buy everything." Then Joan, standing there in bet shining tunic and her golden slip pers made a speech. "No." she said, “money won’t buy everything. It won’t buy self-respect. It won’t buy happiness. It won’t buy a mother like you have. John, nor a grand father like yours.

Hood Uncertain Over The Amount University Gets I)nJ)y Dlxiintcli Derma, In the Sir W»lter lintel BY J C lusKi itvii r, Raleigh, July 12—Bank Commis sioner Gurney P. Hood cannot say how much, as the result of yesterday’s Supreme Court opinions in of Ayden case, the University of North Carolina may get in escheats that take the form of bank deposits. The Pitt depository had some un claimed funds. They were in a bank which is being liquidated. The Uni versity of North Carolina made claim for these funds under t«e present law of escheats which gives to the univer sity unclaimed property.

Mr. Hood thinks there Is a lot of money tied up in these banks and unclaimed by anybody. He has no aversion to the university's Inherit ance, but he is eosaliv anxious to make a good showing in the liquida tion and all funds taken on claims of this character, of course, lessen the amount, per capita that exies .to the depositors. It was un entirely new case for the courts* and the issues hnnsr from the early days of the spring: term until the decision yester&av. At no time in. its history has the university need ed new funds more. Earlv in the year it employed Thad Eure. Drincipal clerk of the 1931 and 1933 House, who as escheat attorney is getting: consider able money from these unclaimed properties. He was, of course, quite set up to have won an issue of this nature. He expects to nress many more such contentions to a judicial conclusion. The judgment of the high court may make the fighting less nec essary now. Wheat Adjustment Program On Same Basis as for 1934 College Station Raleigh July 12— Present plans are that the. wheat ad justment program for the 1934-35 year wil be continued on the same basist prescribed for last year, John W. Goodman, of State College, announced today. The contracts call for a reduction of 15 per cent below the, average pro duction during the 1928-32 base period, with payments at the rate of 29 cents a bushel on the domestic allotment of each producer. The domestic allotment is calculated at 54 per cent of the growers average production during the base period, or that percentage of the wheat crop which ordinarily has been consumed within the United States. The first payment, will be made at WHAT GASOLI'N g jjil jsSBSI the rate of 20 cents a bushel on the domestic allotment in October, 1934. The remainder will be paid after proof of compliance with the contracts has been made. The 1,102 North Carolina wheat growers who signed contracts jast year received $38,000 on their first payment. The second payment amounted to $12,600 bringing the total to more than $50,000 for reducing their 22,387 acres in wheat by 15 per cent. Rear Admiral Caude C. Bloch, U. S.
