He leaves Nora dis- turbed by his indiffercnce. Chapter 20 FRESH UNCERTAINTY Nora watched Jon as he hurried to his car. Then she sat down on the chair next to the wall. If only she had gone. She had not hurt Jon; only herself. She at- tacked the dishes with violence, re- suming the task interrupted by Jon’s call. Tt was not until five o'clock that Aunt Em came home and stood leaning against the wall, her hands shaking so she could not unfasten her gray cotton gloves. Fran's voice called hoarsely. “Mother, is that you?” 2 o stairs wl “Hels weaker, but he's still alive,” Fran said, looking away. {Aunt Em wiped her cheek on the old cotton glove. ! looking dark apd gaunt.

His |cldest brother had been killed in the ;\v.n', one was an engincer in South | America, one had gone West. Fer- |gus had had to work his way | through eollege and teach for a |year in order to go to medical school. He was, Hallie said, bril- liant and modest and full of stur- | dy faith in himself. He was bound |to have a future. But perhaps, |Nora thought, Hallie was biased |because he had saved the baby's |life. How anyone who was brilllant | could hang a shingle out on Dove | street and expect to have any fu- ture was one of Hallle's crazily op- ic ideas. several days the baby could not be left for a moment. Nora stayed with him while Dr. More was |in and out all the time. She mar- | velled at his sureness, at the skill with which he handled Dickie. It was later that they found Alice had disappearsad. Nora went up and down the length of Dave street, Everyone seemed to know Alice Lindsey with her fair hair and fine little face, bul no one had seen her. By five o'clock there was no trace of her. Nora went out into the back yard. There she saw a small, dark heap. Petie Baker stood guard, licking Alice’s hands, that ‘covered her small face, swollen by crying. Nora carried her into the house. Dr. More stayed up all night, and Frances, a desperate ravaged wom- an, took her watch beside the bed. ‘There was nothing Nora could do; nothing anyone could do. The baby Wwas sleeping now, under a narcotic. Nora stole to the door to hear his faint irregular breathing. Next morning Hallie, with her cheerfulness, making her r eat, seeing that Frances drank coffee, telephoning the officz, 2 ,the stronghold of the family. t ;noon Fran came out of Dick to find Nora. . £ m’s taken .three spoonfuls of Three, Nora!" she added. “If e only lives.

At six it morning Nora tiptoed in tosec , baby and Dr. More, had had neither time to shave change his clothes for two night, ie’ “Go away and leave me alone,” Nora told Ferfus. Fran had to go to work next morning; for no matter what hap- pened rent must be paid and food must be bought. After the long days with Dickie, Nora would go to her attic room, stumbling with weariness, falling asleep almost as soon as she had gottén into bed. . Dickie was on the highroad towhrd recovery a letter came from Da- mon: “Dead Nora: “We are sorry you could not come to us. Father and I are going away for a change. He needs the rest and I feel I can- not let him go alone. I will see you, I hope, upon my re- turn, “Damon Van Vorst” | Nora read and reread the cool words. Damon had not even | where they were going, nor for v |long. ) | For the first time in her life, Nora had done an utterly selfless hing; she had thought first of ,cther people. And it had brought her this. She was caught fast in the red ‘brick house, in this very life of un- , certainty, where there was nothing ysolid under her feet. Poverty mad: jeach one of them insecure, and she, Nora, would have to be uprooted |and thrown into any strange ®:- rent that might carry away her own pecple.

But Nora B e HOEAE OO Buying with # # » Your Eyes Open ANY of the produets that greet you from shelf and counter today bear familiar names. Names you know by their advertising. By their reputation. Or by personal experience. They seem like old friends. Other products are strangers. What do you know about them? Often their appeal is a ‘‘bargain price.” But are they always bargains? Their labels are attractive. More inviting, sometimes, than those of the products they seek to imitate. But how can you ever know what these labels conceal? Remember this every time you buy—Before there can be an imita- tion, there must be something worth imitating. Have you ever seéen an imitation as good as the original? Clerks who try slyly to sell you some- thing “just as good” are looking only to today. Tomorrow the same product may not be on the shelf. Perhaps even today the clerk does not know who made it. Ask yourself *. .*“Why does he offer me this substitute? Why does he urge me to accept «this‘or that product instead of the one I want?” There are many reasons.. Most of them selfish. Certainly, none of them springs from the desire to serve you better. These facts are published by this newspaper to tell you of your danger. To protect you against substitution. To warn' you to buy with your eyes open. No deserving product ever needs the claim, “just as good.” When you hear those words, you may know there is something better. And that package which “holds a little more” often holds little more than disap- pointment. There is only one sure way for any shopper to avoid sub- stitution. Ask for recognized brands. Ask for them by name. Accept no questionable imitations. THE ANSWER TO SUBSTITUTION IS ALWAYS . . .

DOUGLAS NEWS MEMORIAL DAY SERVICES HELD AT DOUGLAS; ADDRESS BY P. E. BAUER Memorial Day was fittingly ob- served in Douglas Sautrday with a program given in the Coliseum the- atre and decoration of graves, un- der the auspices of the Dcuglas Is- land Women’s club, with Mayor L. W. Kilburn, presiding. Rev. Philip E. Bauer delivered thz Memorial address in which he said in part: “Memorial Day cervicss are for the pxrpose of remembering the heroic dead, but we should re- member all who have died. It is appropriate to remember all whoi have lived for the good that was in them. Especially do we honor the men who have’ risked their lives for their country, and we should also honor the heroes of statesman- 'ship and science. Service given un- selfishly is the one test; honor is .due to the living also; to the ones who are carrying on with the un- ' finished tasks of those who died in service. mothers is worthy of our commem- oration” for ‘we need the integrity of the' home and lastly the devo- fon to higher things should be honored.” “Red Poppies in the recited by Marie Fox.
