The twins, Beau and Millie, give little towards the sup- | port of the home, and so the load | falls on Sally. In the flat Dbelow the Jeromes lives Ted Sloan, an automobile | who wants Sally - to marry him and keep on working. | But the only man who interesis her is John Nye, whose office fs across the hall from Mr. Peevey's. Millie is Nye's secretary and he blindly adores her. Millie likes him and intends to marry his money if 1e can, but she really prefers a ve it, Davidson | Sally, whom he son. As luck will is in love with arcely knows. Beau gets some money from Ted Sloan by means of bad checks borrows the money to pay Te from Mr. Peevey. But instead of | paying his debts with it. Beau uses | the money to elope with his girl, | Mabel Wilmot. So Sally starts pay- | ing his debt of honor for him, He and Mabel buy a segond-hand car, | a fur coat for Mabel, and finally run so far into debt that they have to come home to live in Beau's ol | room, paying Sally no board. Beau ! “borrows” a thousand dollars from | the bank where he works, and Mr. Peevey gives it to Sally, telling her | that it is a farewell gift to her, for he is sick and retiring from busi- ness shortly. | John Nye offers Sally, who work- | ed for him during an illness of | Millle, a job; but she decides to re- | fuse it and go into business with | her spinster aunt Emily Jerome. | Aunt Emily has turned her country | house into a wayside inn, serving chicken dinners, and installing a big phonograph for dancing. One night she sends for Ted, intending goes with him for dinner and a dance. Sally shows Ted a “Black Bottom shimmy” on the dance floor, and when one of the man guests rushes, embarrassed Kitchen. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XLI Aunt Emily's new kitchen-maid at the sink, washing lettuce leaves. She turned in surp Sally, scarlet-cheeked and panting, burst open the door and dropped But a second later, when the door swung open again to admit Aunt Fmily, she turned her back wpon the kitchen and went on washing the lettuce as if nothing else in the world mattered to her bhut the cleanliness of that lettuce. She had a wholesome fear of her employer. “What WERE Emily wanted to know, standing be- fore her pretty niece, with her plat- ter of hot chicken still in her hands. “Tell me this minute!" “Shaking my shoulders,” the girl| replied after a minute or so. “Ted was showing me a new dance, and | 1 started to shimmy for him. He hates me to." She looked up suddenly, her dancing with fun and mischief. “I know how to do. it, though, don’t 12" she asked with the win-| eness of a child that knows it s done a wicked but funny thing. “I can shake, rattle and roll to beat anything, can't 1? It's my only ac- complishment, Aunt Em!"” She shook her lovely shoulders again, and the movement was a dclicately lovely as the flutter of a | bird's wings as it coasts along the sky. Aunt Emily stared at her with eyes that seemed to he popping from her head. Could this be her nicee, the calm and sensible and depend- able Sallv? This bright-eyed, inno- cent-looking young thing who talk- ed about “shakinz. rattling and ahout sleeping, ithing and eat- ing, who actually w that vulgar dance—the “shimmy." “Well, never let m: nything like that house!™ e snapped, s again with her platter.

She knew that there was nothing careless about that arm. She had ridden with Ted so many times that she knew just what his technique was: First he would put his arm along the back of the seat, as if by acci- dent. Then he would let his fingers just flick her shoulders. Then they would tighten there, and presently he would be trying to draw her close to him so that he could klss her. It had happened that way a hun- dred times, and the outcome had always heen the same. Sally simply would not let him make love to her. Tonight she began to sing to her- at gll: “Bend way down and shuffie around, and—" “I wish you would stop that fool noise and listen to me,” Ted cut in, angrily. “I'm trying to ask you to marry me, Sally. I'm beginning to a lot of money, and could—" “Oh, don’t lose your head be- cause Aunt Em bought a car from vou just now,” Sally interrupted, breezily but sensibly. * ‘One swallow doesn’t make a summer,’ you know, old boy. And besides, this 1sn't m year for getting married. Something tells me that!" She laughed. She felt light-hearted and care-free. The music and the brightness she had ! just left behind her had done that| to her, as music and a good time very often did. “What is your year for getting married?” Ted asked, stolidly. Nineteen hundred and ninety- nine, you poor crack-pot,” answer- cd Sally, “Didn’t you know that?" Ted groaned. “I don't like you when you're like this, Sally,” he told her helplessly. “I wish vou'd talk sense to me tonight. Won't you?” She shook her head. And then, all at once, she made ing sound that a little bird when it is frightened. “What's wrong?” Ted asked, star- !tled. He leanecd forward to look at her with straining eyes, and so he did not see the brown open car | that had just flashed past them like | some swift dragon of the night. “Nothing,” Sally answered, with- out knowing what she was saying. | Her eyes were ahead of her on the dark road where the brown car was nothing but a red point of light, vanishing into the shadows, already. But her mind's eye still held the vision of the two people who were tting close together on the front seat, as she had seen them a mo- ment before—John Nye and Millie, on their way home from an eve- | ning’s pleasure. She sat back agalnst the seat of the car, limply, with per hands, palms upward, in her |'lap. Her whole body drooped dejectedly. Her spirits, that had been sparkling and light as a skyrock bare, ugly stick when the sparkle is all gone. She earth, as she told herself, with a bang. On the last Saturday afternoon in October, Sally stood alone in the center of Mr. Peevey's office, look- ing at it for the last time. It was quite bare. The chalrs and desks were gone, the funny old red calico seat cushion were gone, the electric stove and the tin of health wafers were gone. Mr. Peevey, himself, had gone a | moment before. And Sally, in her shabby felt hat and her blue serge { suit, was all ready to go. She turned and stared at the door |that led into the hall, trying to | make up her mind whether to run | into John s office to say “Good- " to him or not. “I ought to, to be polite,” she said 'to hersclf. “But T hate to do it, somehow. While she was still dehating the | question, a knoclk came on the door ind—he walked in! Sally's heart gave a jump and be- gan to race, as it always did when- | ever she laid eyes on him. Through {all the months she had known him, | it never had learned to take him | calmly—that foolish steadfast heart [of Sally's. “Well, so you're leaving!” he said as Ted was very cheerful and talka- tive on the way home that night under the autumn moon.

My letters written per- fectly, my desk in order, my pen- cils sharperffd, - and a sandwich slipped under my nose whenever I couldn't get out for lunch. I miss talking to you, too.” That was all probably true, Sally reflected, confusedly. . Millie was beautiful. But she had very little to say for herself, and she certainly knew nothing about keep- ing a place tidy. “But I'm not going to work for John Nye, anyway,” she told her- self, fiercely. “I'm not going to be his office hack—his human type- writer—while Millie’s his sweet- heart.” And, of course, Millie always would be his sweetheart—until she was his wife. So that was that in a nut shell! Sally shook her head stubbornly. I—won’t work—for you,” she man- aged to say, and to speak was a tre- mendous effort. She felt as if every word were a leaden weight that she aragged from the very bottom of | her heart. | She did not see John Nye again | for a month. | Sally, trim and slim in pure white | linen, was sitting at one of Aunt Emily's tiny tables, mending a tiny hole in the tablecloth she had just laid there. | It was 10 o'clock on New Year's | eve, and she had been working for | Aunt Emily for four weeks. It is hard to get a table in most restaurants in this country on New Year's eve. Almost every place that serves food and provides music is packed to the doors on that most festive night of all the year. But Aunt Emily’s “House by the | was barely half | full, and neither Aunt Emily nor Sally could figure out any reason for it. Their food was deliclous, ard the loud-toned phonograph kept the | rooms filled with the latest dance | music. The dining room was not so | 1arge that it looked bare and dreary, { even when there were few people in | it. But, somehow, the place had just not “caught on” with the public. And Aunt Emily, who had put the into it, was | Side of the Road” | | savings of a lifetime heartsick. ‘When she was heartsick and un- | happy, she betrayed it by gruffness {and bad temper. So for a month Sally's life there had not been particularly happy, cand her lips were drawn down at | the corners as she stitched busily at the cigaret hole in the tablecloth. “Happy New Year!” a bright voice | said, close beside her, and she ' glanced up to see Millie standing | beside the little table. She had on a large black felt hat and a coat trimmed with black, fluffy fox, and against her somber clothes, her blondness was startling- 1y lovely. The cold air outside had brought new brilliance to her eyes and genuine color into her smooth cheeks. She looked around her half-empty room. “You haven't much of a crowd,” e said, in her light, fluting voice. We thought you wouldn't have. \Yvu never do. That's why we came out here.

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine. Almost everyone who apecializes in the study of speech defects now agrees that the psychological diffi- culty is probably primarily responsi- ble in most instances. The individual stammerer, there- fore, is now studied as to any under- lying constitution tendency to nerv- ousness. His home conditions, and the manner of his reaction to them are investigated. The stammerer's general health is ascertained, as well as his general intelligence and edu- cation. The number of years during which he has suffered is taken into cofisideration. The longer the duration of the complaint, the more difficult to pro- vide adequate relief. The child who begins to stammer early in life be- cause of some state of fear, depres- | 1. sion or struggle, and who is not re- |t eved before the sixteenth year, is likely to constitute a much more dificult case than the stammering child who is treated early. Many parents comfort themselves with the notion that the child will outgrow its complaint. Sometimes it does through its own efforts, but these efforts constitute an enormous strain on the nervous system and deprive f son of the year, at the time of the |the child of the assistance it should helacal rising or Sirius, the *“dog star”; that is, the time when it rose just before the sun. We still retain the expression “dog days"” as ap- plied to the hottest season of the year but it has become a popular term without any exact meaning. Almanac makers now vary widely as to the dates; the Standard Dic- tionary gives the dates as July 3 to August 11. Q. According to the Bible story of the flood how long did it last? A. According to Genesis 7, the deluge lasted 150 days. Of these only the first 40 days and nights con- sisted of rain. The remaining 110 days the ark floated about until at last it rested on Ararat. Q. How many cubic inches are there in a United States gallon and the British Tmperial gallon used in Canada? rightly have. Practically all specialists are now agreed that the attempt to cure stammering in institutions in which treatment follows a definite routine for all, including speech -exercises, gymnastic training, rest, and similar methods are not as satisfactory as those in which each patient is studied as an individual case. The routine methods have valus when it is found that the difficulty is largely one of training. Unfortu- nately, however, these cases consti- tute a very small minority. Most in- stances problems that can be unraveled only with long and patient investigation, including the fullest co-operation of represent psychological the person and of his family.
