Yet Aunt Em was sewing as usual and Hal- lie reading the paper. When Fran had put the children to bed she came back to them. The others, Nora knew, had no inkling of what had happened. But Aunt Em's face looked drawn and odd tonight. Hallie had been rattling the paper in a nervous y and she began to read aloud in a dry husky voice: “She came down the stairs that bright May morning, this girl with her heart-shaped face and honey-colored hair.” “That's enough, Hallie,” AuntEm said. “It's that awful newspaper tripe,” Fran sald listlessly. The paper rattled in Hallie's hand; she stared abouf from one to the other. They looked up sur- prised. 1 wrote it 'Hallie mumbled. “But that's not your name! A. A. Standish. Darling, why didn't you let us know about it?” “I didn't even know it was takcn until I saw it in the evening pape: Hallie said, color burning in h sallow cheeks. “The story's per- fect drivel. “I thought there was something unusual about it the moment I heard it!” Aunt Em said. They clustered about her crooked shoulders, excited, forgetting every- thing but this moment’s triumph. “It's awful rot” Hallie insisted, donicall; e ey | | Butler Mauro Drug Co.

Trite as‘ it was, she had not been able to read through the love scene with- out faltering. But they were not even looking at her or noticing |the tremble of her voice. “It's charming!” Aunt Em glow- ed. “How much do you think theyll pay you for it?” Fran asked| breathlessly. “Well, I don’t know. Newspapers are so wealthy—probably $50. Al- though you often hear of writers getting a thousand.” “But don't you see what it means? It means Hallie can gat anything she writes accepted. Oh Hallie, we sha'n't have to worry about money—oh Hallie, I can’t believe it!” Fran was crying. Aunt Em plunged into plans. Would they get new curtains for the back parlor or some rose bushes? Hallie said modestly, “Well, I thought we might take a little place in the country. Not too far away so that it would be near a good school and the children would love a garden.” Fran's eyes were full of unshed tears. “I told you we'd be rich in Au- gust!” Aunt Em said, “and you laughed at me, I remember. We must tell this to Fergus. Nora, you run in and get him. How pleased Julian will be! He was telling me about his pictures. He thinks they will all sell. He said he'd never touch a brush again—" Nora put her arm about Fran and at the light touch Fran looked up. She caught her hand and laid it against her dry burning cheek. “There is a way out!” Frances whispered. But when Nora went to look for Fergus he was gone. She met her father coming up the steps, and cried gayly: “I've been having dinner with Jon. He's a fine young fellow, my girl. I tell you our fortune is made!” It was true as Fran said, they had found the way out. Nora was exultant. Now Fran could go away. She would come back quite well. And Nora could leave them all knowing that they were happy at last. . In the morning when she woke a fretful rain beat against the win- dows. She and Fran lingered until the last moment so that they could wait for the postman. There was a letter for Hallle from the Evening Press. Hallie tore it open with trembling fingers. Inside was a check for five dollars. They all knew now that Fran had to go away to a sanitorium in the mountains. “Don’'t you envy me,” Frances smiled, “escaping this August heat in the city?” “You always were a lucky dog” |ed, Hallie admitted, but her thin hands were working together, Aunt Em drew Fergus aside. “You can tell me. I'm her | mother. I'd rather know the truth.” He told her simply that there was a good chance for Fran's re- oovery in the mountains. When{ he had finished she said: | “You must tell her not to worry |about us. We'll mahage somehow.” But she sat for a long time 100k~ ing out of the window, het hands for once idle, as she recalled the Fran that had always loved life. Now that they needed money more than ever, three of Aunt Em’s pupils had gone to the country for the summer vacation. Hallie was working these days with a savage concentration; her eyelids a little swollen as she pounded away on the typewriter late into the hot summer night. “Look at this,” she said, as Nora stopped in the store room. Hallie held out a letter. “I am a young girl of seven- teen. I love a man one year older but he has not been true to me. I want to ask you shall I forgive him or not?” She began to read the answer in a peculiarly sardonic voice: “Dear Child: | “I too have known the bitter- |} ness of love rejected by a faith- | ful heart. But I want you to | think first whether you shall | hurt him. Think what a wo- | man’s heart can do, how it can | forget. And take back your friend into your affections, re- membering that he too, dear, is human.” Hallie groaned as she ended,| “Isn’t that awful? T ask you, could‘ any human being swallow thnt"\ But the woman who runs the col- umn in the pulp paper magazine says that my stuff is so full of| human interest!” | When she went upsairs Nora| found Fran packing. | “How splendid they are!” “yYou're just beginning to see” Fran said looking up, and ended, “I'm going tomorrow.” . “Oh Fran!” “I want to tell you, Nora—TI've saved enough money to carry them until I get back. Don’t look at me like that! T'm not going to die. I can't—don’t you see—" Fran chok- “for I have to come back to| the children. “But if I shouldn’t get better, you'll st‘md by them, won't you? Mother's' getting old and Hallie can't bear it alone.” The tears streamed down Nora's cheeks. How could she promise? Yet not 'to was to crucify Fran. Fran caught Nora's hand and laid it against her hot cheek. Next morning Férgus took Fran to the station, carrying it off with such a casual air that they all played up to him. “Have a good rest,” Aunt Em said. “Don’t think about us.” The taxi was waiting. Frances stooped to gather Dickie in her arms. “You'll cried. “Not tonight, Alice, but pretty soon. You'll be a good girl? come tonight?” Alice “Mud, are you ever coming back again?” “Of course she is,” Aunt Em sald staunchly. ties, the including gold and silves States last sued today by J. C.

The last Fran saw of her son was his waving hand and rosy, dimpled laughter. (Copyright 1930, Jesse Douglas Fox) Clever . . . brilliant! Thats what the critics say Monday.
