NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY: CHAPTER 2 THE MORNING after Julian’s call Noel started burning all her bridges. She was the type of girl who never did things by halves. When she found that her uncle was in financial difficulties she turned over to him SIOO,OOO in cash and negotiable securities. This represented a year’s income, and left her with a very small amount indeed. * ! Then Noel went shopping. She bought a cheap tweed suit, a pair of low-heeled oxfords, and a small ielt that. Then a few blouses of linen and near silk. Things in direct contrast to what she wore. | When she had finished shopping, she realized with a little thrill that ishe was close to the Medical Arts ibuilding where Julian's offices were located. So she went and waited Just outside the big revolving doors, and it wasn’t very long be fore she saw Julian coming /through them, a pretty dark haired girl beside him, talking ani unatedly. > He would have walked past Noel .without seeing her, but she put out 'a hand and called his name. He short and smiled. “Why, iNoel, what a pleasant surprise!” ! The dark girl stopped, waited a (moment, then went on. There was something about the way she held her head that showed she wasn’t any too pleased because Julian had stopped. “She’s in love with him,” Noel told herself, conscious of a sudden jealous pain, j Then she turned her eyes to .Julian, “Thought you might take me to lunch.” [ “Gladly, only we’ll have to go 'across the street, as I haven’t much time.” They walked across the street, i The De Luxe Case was one of those paper-napkin kind of places, Julian explained, but added that it was quite sanitary and the food was well prepared. Noel looked about the neat white-tiled place with interest. This was something that belonged to Julian’s world. The place where jmost of his meals were eaten, as ishe found out later. ; As soon as they were seated, INoel told him that she had changed iher plans about going to Cali fornia, and later to Paris with her aunt. ; Julian looked questioningly into the sweet, ardent face under the smart hat, which hadn’t cost less ithan $"5, though of course he (hadn’t any idea of its cost. He only knew in his man’s vague way that it was a very fetching hat indeed and that it enhanced the delicate gold of Noel’s hair and the dreamy blue of her eyes. “You see,” Noel went on blithely, “it just struck me that I know absolutely nothing of this city where I was born and which my grandfather helped to build. I haven’t spent more than two weeks here since I was a cKMd.” Julian did not meet her eyes. Perhaps he was afraid she could see that her news brought him an undeniable happiness. The thought of an ocean between himself and this slender girl, who meant a great deal more to him than he would acknowledge, had been dis turbing, though he knew for his own peace of mind, it would be far better for her to go.

But her underlip was trembling slightly. She was think ing again of the pretty dark girl, who already had such a start over herself when it came to winning Julian’s interest. Perhaps Ws love. Or at least they had seemed to be quite old friends. Perhaps they went to lunch together every day. So she began a little timidly, “That pretty girl who was with you—is she—l mean, are you—” but she couldn’t finish. After all, it was a silly question to ask. But she wanted to know so very much. Julian’s eyes met hers frankly. "That’s Ruth Chester, a nurse. She’s studying bacteriology in the clinic next to my office. We’re naturally interested along the same lines, and so we’re quite good friends.” Noel’s questioning gaze did not leave his face. And she received his words with reservations. Love was so important and she knew it often intruded into places where it was the least expected. “Os course, if we had any at traction for each other beyond that of friendship,” Julian went on unexpectedly, “it would be very suitable. But unfortunately, it looks as if the unsuitable people are always falling in love with each other.” “Perhaps that’s the way nature meant for love to be,” Noel said. Julian’s frankness had made her feel better. But she was certain as long as Ruth Chester worked by Julian’s side, she’d always be jeal ous of her. Julian was looking at her now with a smile that was both grave and tender. “You’re lovely, Noel. You could turn any man's thoughts away from his career, or any other woman, if there should be another.” “But you’re still determined not to fall in love with me?” she asked archly, a wave of happiness suddenly flooding her heart. A smile flickered in his eyes. “Yes, quite determined.” “I could give all the hateful money away, you know,” Noel said thoughtfully. Os course in away, she had done that already. “Don’t be absurd,” he said with tender reproach. Then looked at his watch. “I’ve only a few min utes left. Perhacs vou’d better tell HENDERSON, (N. C.) C.) DAILY DISPATCH TUESDAY, JULY 5, 1938 me of your plans. I have a feeling that I’m going to disapprove.” “You probably will,” she smiled. “You see, you told me you could never belong to my world of ex travagance and frivolity. And I’m tired of it myself. So I’m going to belong to yours.” He looked at her, his dark brows drawn up questioningly. “I’m going to get a job,” Noel went on. “I’m going to find out about the kind of world you live in. I'm going to learn things about life and living, things I couldn’t learn any other way.” He shook his head. “Even if it’s only a lark or a sudden whim, Noel, I think the idea is absurd.” She gave him a sweet, willful smile. Then they rose and left the case. Out on the sidewalk, Julian looked at her, his face a little stern. “You’re too attractive, Noel, and too inexperienced. I’d much prefer that you give up this rather reckless idea and—go on with your aunt.” She shook her head. “Too late to change now. I’ve burned my bridges.” Just how late it was for her to give up her plans, she did not intend for him to know. But when she had turned over all her money to her uncle, the die had been cast. She couldn’t turn back, if she wanted to. It would be a year before she’d have money again. “You’re very stubborn, 'Noel,” Julian began. “I’m afraid the trou ble is that you were not spanked enough when you were young,” he finished with a tender, unwilling smile. “Perhaps not,” she agreed with a little flush. Julian was ready to cross the street now. He turned back for a minute. “If you do insist on carrying out this whifti, you must promise to keep in close touch with me. So I’ll know your impetuosity is not getting you into trouble.” • “I’ll promise that,” Noel smiled. Wasn’t that one of the objectives she had formed in her hurried campaign? To be closer to Julian —to learn to live in his world and take care of herself? i Julian said goodby then and left her. After which Noel walked thoughtfully up to Main and Madi son streets. As soon as she man aged to get her aunt, Frankie, off alone, she knew the real adventure would begin.

Such evidence of his intentions as can te gleaned from his own remarks indicates he is on the verge of striking a bold new course in politics—of venturing per ( sonality into realms which he pre viously left to his lieutenants. The Fresident has put in good words personally only for Senator Leader Barkley, of Kentucky, and for Senators Duffy, of Wisconsin, and McAdoo, of California. Now, it ap pears, he may give up indirection in many eases.

They are renowned in song and in story, in picture and in statue. Ninety years ago when the Mormons were driven out of the east, Brigham Young led them out into this wilder ness. After passing mountain after mountain after mountain he came to a perfectly flat plain fifty miles long and fifty miles wide, entirely surround ed by great lofty barren mountains.

Determined to show Julian she has stamina. Noel gives up a long trip with her aunt, turns over her income of SIOO,OOO to her uncle who is in finan cial difficulties, buys her first outfit of inexpensive clothes and tells Julian she is going to find a job. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY: CHAPTER 3 AFTER SHE had paid off the servants at Stone Gate and at tended to . other bills, Noel had a little over a hundred dollars in her billfold. She smiled to think that It was almost the same amount her grandfather had had when be sailed to the United States to lay the foundation for the Shayne fortune. Frankie, Noel’s aunt, was a pretty friyolous woman of middle age, with touched-up hair and a face from which all the lines had been carefully erased by skillful beauty technicians. Just now she was in the hands of her maid, lying back among the cushions of the chaise longue, hav ing a pedicure. Why a pedicure, Noel did not know. Perhaps mere ly to kill time. But Noel loved her aunt devotedly in spite of all her little affectations. “Come in, darling,” Frankie greeted her in her chirrupy voice. Then when she saw Noel wearing the cheap tweed suit and linen blouse, she gave a little scream. “What is it, darling? A masque rade?” Noel lighted a cigaret and glanced at the maid. Frankie dis missed her at once and turned again to Noel, her eyes avid with curiosity. “Is it some kind of a , game?” ; Noel hesitated. She hadn’t quite decided how to break the news to, Frankie, who was quite capable of protesting strenuously when ever she disapproved of anything Noel proposed to do. But in spite of her little flattery ways, Frankie did have an understanding nature. SO' Noel decided to take the ffltinge. “If you had fallen to love, with a man,” she began, “and he practically told you that you were, a parasite and a useless cumberer of the earth, what would you do??’ Frankie sat up on the chaise longue, her faded blue eyes wide, "Darling, did someone actually i dare—?” She stopped and drew her lips together to a straight line. “Well, I wouldn’t let him get away with it. I’d make him take it back word for word.” “That’s exactly what I’m going to do,” Noel told her. “I’m going to stay right here, get a job and show him that I can make my own hying AS well as bo can make his.” Frankie clasped her -fragile hands. “But, darling, it all sounds very romantic and thrilling, and I always did think you had some of your grandfather’s stubbornness land spirit. But what on earth , would I do at Aix-les-Bains with out -you. It would just be too tire some for words,” she finished [ plaintively. "Yob can play five-suit bridge,” [Noel reminded. Frankie brightened at that. She 'was passionately devoted to bridge. “Is it that too, too devas tating young doctor, Julian Paige?” Frankie asked after a minute’s thought. • Noel crushed out her cigaret and sank toto a chair. “Yes, it iis. I suppose I might as well admit; tb e truth.” 1 i “He’s precious," Frankie said with a smiie. “And he’s so differ ent from all the other kind of men you have known. He fyns Strength and—there's something really fine about him, I think,” she stopped for a moment then added, “but, really, darling, he hadn’t any right in the world to say things uke that to you. It sounds a bit prig gish, I’m afraid,” plowed except after irrigation. He 1 would not allow them to engage in i mining. The houses were built of wood i brought one hundred miles- over no £ roads and hauled by ox carts. # He 3 used wooden pegs for nails as nails i cost SIOO.OO per keg on account of < poor transportation. He built a tem- t pie whose walls and roof are" sixteen 1 feet thick. He established his rules. 1 One could marry as many f women as < he liked but he could not chew, drink, ] smoke, or cuss. The rules of marriage 1 have been changed but down to this < day the other rules above stated are i carried out. All of us today had to < throw away our cigarettes before we ] could enter the yard of the temple. It ! took him 40 years to build the tem ple. It is today estimated to be worth j $4,090,000. Today Salt Lake City is a beautiful city of 150,000 people. Fresh water runs down the paved gutters in the streets all the time. The town is clean It is full of trees of many kinds. Lom bardy poplars predominate and they are the largest, tallest, and best in America. Chief industry is mining tho metals and salt. About half the popu lation is Mormon. Salt Lake City is noted for its Can itol building. It rivals Huey Long’s. Made of stone and marble. The gov ernor’s reception room, called the Gold Room, is worth $125,000; carpet is woven in one pieces, 22x48 feet. We ate lunch in the roof garden of a hotel about 20 stories high. It was beautiful up there, with snow covered mountains all around in the summer: 1 time, and soft music. I had never be fore seen the like of one instrument in the orchestra. It looked very It was like one end of a flat piano cut half into, had strings like old hay wire, and it was played by two thin drum sticks that had rabbit feet tied on the musical ends. I asked its musi cian its name. He said it was a cim balom. There was at one time one of these used in the Restaurant of Jack Dempsey, in New York. Jack Demp sey’s mother lives in Salt Lake City, I saw her home, and it may be that I She brushed back her carls and smiled. Noel shook her head. "No, he’s not like that at all. He’s just—” but her voice failed her. She couldn’t tell anybody, not even Frankie, just how she felt about Julian Paige. “Anyway/' Frankie went on more complacently, “you’ll soon show him he was all wrong, won’t you?’’ Then she added, a note of anxiety coming back to her voice, “You won’t be getting into any trouble, if I leave you here, will you, Noel?" “Os course I won’t," Noel an swered blithely. “I’m going to have the time of my life.” “At least you won’t be bored," Frankie said, her voice’ again plaintive. “If you only knew how dreadfully hard it is to keep from being bored these days, even at Monte Carlo.” “you’ll meet your friends. You’ll have a nice time,” Noel tried to reassure her. At last Frankie’s qualms were at rest. A few hours later,' she and Noel bade each other an affectionate goodby. It was, of course, only a lark, Frankie told herself confidently. Noel had been restless of late. Perhaps it was time she fell seriously in love. And it wouldn’t take long for her to win the man she wanted, for it was Frankie’s opinion that there wasn’t alive in the world a man who could remain indifferent to Noel’s rose and golden beauty and her gay spirits. So f she departed happily for California. It was 10 o’clock that night be fore Noel was ready to start on the first lap of her adventure. Stone Gate was closed, the ser vants gone. Noel took a taxi to the dingy rooming house on Court street Where she had engaged a room un der the name of Noel Doran. She gave the driver a dollar tip, then suddenly realized that since she was now a working girl, and en tirely dependent on what she earned for her living, she had no right W be using taxicabs, much less Upping the driver dollar bills! But she wouldn’t fofrget again. 3jhe was beginning to learn al ready. Once in her room, she hardly looked around the dingy quarters, but tumbled into the hard, rather lumpy bed, and soon fell asleep. The next ' morning when she awakened and her eyes fell upon the discolored wall paper, the rusty grate, and the cheap wooden furniture, she opened her eyes wide, startled. Then remembrance came back. She brushed back her curls and smiled, fighting back a feeling of homesickness for her dainty sun lit room at Stone Gate with the wide casement the thick this is the same instrument. The musician then played a solo in ji rather strenuously and fast, but music sounded stringy and not so hot. r>H you ever see a cimbalom? The bill () f fare at the hotel way out here in the desert was amazingly varied. Everv thing was good except the juices, thov were canned. I ate cold cantalop,* with raspberries inside and another dish new to me, “butterfried poult: liyers with bacon and fried pineappi,. on toast”, all of that sounded almost down right sassy to me and I bit, 1 also ate while at that hotel the ha’*-' of one crab. Each leg was 12 inches long. It was the same old crab I had seen down in Chinatown but they hat removed his face and so I made the grade. It was about like lobster. We went bathing in the Great Sad. Lake. You ride 30 miles out on a bn ; You check your valuables and don your bathing suit. You then huv your picture taken looking like a to be sent back home by air mail, You then ride out a small truck on a track, get off, holler and laugh and wade in. You cannot sink so all the advices you get is not to let any salt water get in your eyes. You are toUi that if you do get the salt water in your eye to stick your finger in yon. mouth, and wash the off atvi then stick your finger in your eye and wash out said eye. Well, I got salt water in my eye. I stuck my finger in my mouth and then stuck it into my eye. The first experiment did not work. The next time I stuck my finger in my mouth I found I was just sticking it into a salt jar. So there 1 was, in the middle of Salt Lake, blind as a bat, no handkerchief, no noth ing—but salt. I got out the best way I could. Now, how did 1 get salt water in my eyes. Well, some friend told me to lie down in the water and float and see which end of me would stick up jthe highest. I did and found out. Next time I try this stunt may some kind friend bedeck with an American flag my end that floats the highest. I (To be continued.) soft rugs, the taffeta-draped dress ing table with its silver and gold appointments, the cool, green tiled bath with its sunken tub— Then she remembered how bored and restless she had become with the things that money could buy. Today was the beginning of a new life. She was going to see it through. She had purposely arranged things so that even if she weakened and wanted to give up the idea, she couldn’t do it. She would stick it out, whether or no. She put on the tweed suit and went out to get breakfast, a little past eight, delighted that she had awakened so early. Out in the crisp air, her enthusiasm returned with a bound, as she walked brisk ly along in the inexpensive oxfords, a little bilack velvet “beanie” on the back of her head. She was wondering if she would see Julian today or tonight and laughed a little to herself at what he would say if he should see her new home. She found a little case similar to the De Luxe, tfiopgh not as in viting, and ate a good breakfast, surprised to find that bacon and scrambled eggs with toast and cof fee could taste so good. Then she bought a morning paper* walked oyer to the small, deserted Front street park on the river, and sat down on a bench to study the ads. She did not notice that a man who had been stand ing near the register in the case, When she had taken a bill out of her well-filled billfold to get Changed and pay for her breakfast, bad unobtrusively followed her. She was soon engrossed in the ads. There was a long list under Female Help Wanted, but nothing that fitted her peculiar abilities. In fact, she was at sea as to just the kind of work she could do, but thoroughly confident that there would be a place for her some where. 5 She found an ad—for a gover ness who must be able to teach French and music, which she thought might do. Luckily her “finishing school French” wasn’t too bad. She tore out the ad, thinking happily that if she did see Julian tonight, she’d probably be able to tell him that she had already found a place she could fill. When she picked up her bag, which Che had left on the bench beside her, she found the Clasp un fastened. Panic stricken she looked inside. The billfold was gone. Someone had cleverly re moved it from her bag while she had been editing there half cov ered up with newspapers. She had a little less than $4 in her change purse, (To So Continued!
