NEW RULING FOR C.G. ENLISTMENTS Enlistment by the U. S. Coast Guard of men 45 years of age or more has been prohibited, for all practical purposes, by an amend- ment to recruiting regulations an- nounced by Lt. C. M. Speight, seventh naval district recruiting officer, Miami. Exceptions to the new ruling fall into threé categories, all of which require expert knowledge | ¢ which' would enable an applicant to fill some existing vacancy for which no other qualified person is immediately available. Lieutenant Speight added, how- ever, that “commitments made by the seventh naval district recruit- ing offices to persons older than 45, prior to the amendment, are being fulfilled.” ROBERT R.

A dreamy sort of fellow in college —always thinking up some al- truistic scheme and somehow carrying it through. He was one of the few men I ever knew whose conviccion that right would triumph was absolute.” “How naive,” murmured Gloria. “I don’t know about that!” Cunningham frowned at his daughter with active irritation. Sometimes he wondered lately just how thick that shell of sel- fish sophistication went. But he didn’t feel up to arguing the mat- ter with her. He knew too well what her pragmatic views would be—the same views he’d opposed Tom Ralston with in college when Tom had laughingly called him, “old money bags.” “If he was as honest as you think,” Gloria prodded humor- ously, “why are the ranchers so stirred up?” “They aren’t questioning his honesty,” Cunningham controlled his irritation to explain patiently. “They just can’t find the records showing where the borrowed money went. It all went into their plant, of course, I'd bet my last dollar on that.” “Is there any way he could have cheated them?” Gloria’s voice was playfully light. Cunningham smi'ed. “Of course. Very easily. He could have put a counle thousand into the ranchers’ business and the rest in his pocket if he’d been that sort. But that’s sheer non- sense, knowing Ralston.” His irritation was rising again. He put the letters back into his brief case and ground out his} cigar. “I think I'll go to bed.” Gloria Pians Things ILORIA said softly as he stopped by her chair to kiss her, “You know, Dad, I’ve been in. | feeling terribly low lately.” Cunningham’s irritation van- ished with guilty speed. As he looked down at his daughter’s pale, listless face, he realized what a beast he’d Veen to sit criticizing the child for her selfishness when} . she was unhappy—maybe ill “What’s wrong, honey?” “I don’t know,” sighed Gloria. “Maybe if I took a trip some- where—California’s nice in the spring—” Cunningham felt vastly re- lieved. It was only boredom then. He pinched his daughter’s cheek. “You little vagabond,” he smiled. “Well, run along. I'll miss you, but I know it must be dull‘in New York these days with all the young men in service.” “You really wouldn’t mind?” she asked eagerly, almost for- getting to maintain her pose. “Of course not.” He turned at the door. “How’s your bank at- 82" Gloria laughéd. “t's ike: it | ftduahiy ispretty low,” Cunhingham laughed, ‘do, as | he called from the hall. “I'll look into that. Maybe I can declare a little dividend for you.” For a while after her father’s door had closed, Gloria sat quietly in her chair. She was by | no means quiet in her mind. What | she planned would need a good deal of skill, and more than a lit- tle luck. But she had allies. One of these would be Duffy, whom she had charmed into a strange state of compliance. Or perhaps dazzled was the word. Duffy’s idea of heaven was the life Gloria led— money and fun. And another ally was the situa- tion at Blossom Ranch. Gloria had no idea why Rita Ralston should run away from the ranch, but she was sure she could use the fact advantageously. As she got out of her chair her tongue flickered for a moment across her too-red lips. She had no time to lose.
