4 ‘READ THIS FIRST: Jill Justin, just turned 20. ultra- modern aad as lambently lovely as the saga liiy. starts: out on a moon- ' ut night in August to attend a harvest festival. With her brother, Tony, one year Ler junior, at the wheel of their 1livver, the pair hears two pisto! shiots just as the car rounds the foot of a mountain on the outskirts of their home town of Elliston, W. Va. Here they witness an automobile hold-up. A young man is thrown from a powerful roadster after, ap- parently, having been rendered un conscious during the shooting. Before Jill and Tony can make a move to protect themselves, the ter i black-jacked. the girl is grabbcd and thrown into the roadl- ster, where she is held while the big r sv.cds away toward the hills. lat- the machine starts, however, Jill sces a form rise from the ground ind stealthily attach itself to the car's rear end. This proves later to he Jack Stuart, owner of the road- ster, and supposed to have becn shot. When the moon goes under a cloud Stuart elimbs across the run- ring board, and with the butt of liie sevvice pistol strikes the driver and gains contrcl of the situation Leaving the baadits securely boun: by the roadside, he takes Jill ba home, where Tony is found with « sore head. but alive. Peter Justin, Jill's father, out at sratitude for saving his daughter. mvites Stuart to remain and accept a job in a glass factory, where hi is superintendent. Jack is promiscd living wages from the start, and o chance to learn the glass blowing trade. Jack asks Jill to marry him Do you love me, Jack? aske Jill Jack overhcars a conversation be tween Peter Justin .and Father Ryan. The dominie urzes Peter to tell Jack. before he marries Jill #bout his separation from Jill's mother. Jack learns about Peter's scpara- tion from his wife. Jack and Jill arc 1aarried. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER VI Never once during the first years of their married life did Jill over call attention, by word or as- tion, to the folly of paying rent, when they could have had their rent {ree, as well as thelr heat and light But if Jill carried the burden of her husband's foolish pride with a Lrave front and an uncomplaining tongue, that was no reason, accord- ing to the opinions of her brother, why they should do the same. As a matter of fact, neither Peter nor Tony overlooked any opportunity of telling their new relative that he | was not only a fool, but was selfish | 2s well. There came a time, too, when Father Ryan saw Jack Stu-| art's so-called independrnce as new form of “mulishness. “Better watch your step, my son,’ he cautioned his young fricnd, ;mvrl‘ the latter, having acknowledged his own system as faulty, still held to| “For never was there a truer say- ing coined than the ancient warning | that "pfldz goeth before a fall.”” Coincident with the first anniver- sary of their marriage, Jill presented | her Jack with beautiful twin boys. ‘'hey were named Peter and Paul.| Immediately the “high cost of liv-| ing” which, even before the arrival of the wonderful pair had reached ! « lofty altitude, now began to soar in a manner truly alarming. Rut . despite their difficultics in Ljnaking ends meet, despite strikes nd hard times, the passing of the (trst three years in the married lifc of Jill and Jack were marked by the few l.appinces vouchsafed only to cxeeptional few. There was a light in Jack Stuart’s sray eyes, a light “ne’er seen on lind or sea,” mor any other plac: save in the eye of a canny Scot on the trail of quick and easy mone “] gee by th' papers,” said J: one evening, 18 he sat by the cheer- iul open grate in their cozy sitting rooni;, where also sat Peter and Tony and Jill playing with Pe ter | and Panl, the twins. 8T sce by th’ papers.” he repeated a bit absently dragging his gaze from the ever- alluring antics of his wonderful boys. “that a tax-title sale is to he held next Tuesday forcnoon in the Ellis- ton county courthouse.” His cves being tree for the mo- onf, he glanced at Peter and Tony. the Jatter said not a word, and his jarent followed suit.
