- SWEETHEARTS By IDAH McGLONE GIBSON Author of “My Son’s Sweethearts,” “Confessions of a Wife,” Etc. Copyright, 1928, by Central Press Association, Inc. READ THIS FIRST: I Lynda Fenton, a singularly inno- cent girl, is private secretary to Ralph Armitage, who has an insane wife. Her father, a drunkard, tells her that her mother deserted them, and that all women have their price. | Lynda meets Emily Andrews, | who cherishes a secret fondness for | David Kenmore, Lynda's compan- | jon from childhood. Emily plots | against Lynda from the very begin- | ning. David tells Lynda he loves | her, but she decides she doesn't | want to be in love with any man. | David is away on a trip. Lynda’s father deserts her, and Claire Stanhope comes to live with ner, June Challer, who has annexed money, fovites Lynda and Claire | and Emily to a big party. Emily secretly sends David a letter, sug- | gesting that he come home for the, party, so that Lynda may be made | to feel at ease. Then she sends him an anonymous note, saying “Ralph Armitage is rushing your girl” David writes to Lynda, admonishing her to beware of Ralph Armitage. Ralph has met with an accident, and Lynda goes to his home to take dictation. There he holds her hand. and plays up to her sympathy and .simplicity. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXIX The Poor Rich Man Ralph looked at Lynda questioning eyes, “I hate a whimperer, Lynda,” he | sald, “but ¥ sometimes think that I do not deserve all that T have got. Poor Stella was not to blame, and she doesn’t know now how I am suffering, but her father should have told both her and me that there was Insanity in the family, then. Oh, what's the use? It's done, and all that is left for me is to have as good a time as I can, and not think about anything too much. In other words, ‘Take the goods the | gods provide’ and, if you can side- step trouble, do it. Ring the bell, my dear, and we will crack a bottle ot wine to our friendship. Don’t look so pitiful, child. I'm not always so angelic as I am today. I efpect I do and say things that are pretty rot- ten soinetimes; but please God, I'll be' decent to you.” . "Il ring the bell, Mr. Armitage, but I cannot drink with you. All the trouble that has come to me in the worl¢ has been through drink. 1 believe that I would rather die | than drink anything that has alco- hol’ in it. You see, my father was always a very good father when. sober, and sometimes I wonder whether his drinking had something tp do with mother's leaving him. He says, however, it was because all women are weak and mercenary— that they ‘like luxury more than anything else—and that my mother left him to go with a man who could give her everything that money could buy. It may not be a good thing to tell you, Mr. Armi- tage, and 1 have never told it to anyone before, but if I find that my father's theory is right, and that all women sell themselves for some- thing, I shall get the very highest price for myself. It may be mar- riage, for I think with marriage 1| might ‘get all the rest; it may be fame, success or just wealth. “Now, please, let me take your letters, for I want to carry them hack to the office and put them on the machine tod: And, if you please, I'll put my lipstick again.” / Ralph Armitage, who had been looking shocked, now laughed until he groaned, for it hurt his broken ribs. “Why do you want to paint your lips again, you funny child?" Ralph Armitage inquired. “Because I've been telling too much about myself already. You | told me the other day if I didn't have my lips reddened you could tell what I was going to say before 1 said it. Just now I am so sorry for vyou, but while we have been talk- ing. I have wanted to kiss you. I'm wondering if you saw that before I reddened my lips?” The man on the bed closed his cyes, and held out his good arm. Lynda bent down, and l1@r cool lips brushed his cheek. She drew ck hastily, for Ralph Armitage said, In a smothered voice: “I think with on i Yol her, and rode back to the office. Emily Andrews met her just in- side the door. Immediately she was all curiesity. “You look all done up!" “Is Armi really ill> Has he broken his ribs? Was Miss Sheston there, and did he make love to you?” To all of which she answered only to the last. “You wouldn't ex- pect a man with two broken ribs and a dislocated shoulder to make love very ardently, would you? Then she surprised herself, well as Emily, by bursting tears. “Why, Lyn, what is the You frighten me. Are you Armi is going to die?” No, Emily. I'm afraid he is go- ing to live, and he'll always be a as into matter? afraid | very unhappy man.” “There,” said Emily, triumphant- ly. “I told the bunch that you would not undefstand Armi’s tactics. Poor Ralph always did dramatize him- self, and one cap hardly blame him, because his story, you know, is so intensely tragic. He always has tried for the sympathy of every girl he is interested in, and she, being a girl, falls for it. Knowing Armi, you could not blame either of them, could you?” Lyn didn't say anything. In fact, she had learned not to talk much when she was in Emily's company. Always believing that in everything Emily said there was a purpose, she | be more | know that now she must eager to pump her about Ralph than ever before. It Ralph Armitage was deceiving her, Pyn thought, he was doing it unconsciously—and he was deceiv- ing himself as well. Then grew hot as she remembered the end of her interview with him thw morning. She could not understand it. What had she done? She knew he had expected her to stay all day; and he had sent her away €o abrupt- ly. Perhaps she should not have told him that she was sorry for him, that she would like to kiss him. But surely that there were Kis and kisses. Hers was one of pity, and even ff pity weee akin to love, hers had not reached that state yet. “What made her kiss him, any- she asked herself. She was sure she had no feeling of “hunting a thrill.” She merely wanted him to know she was sorry for him, that's all. Poor Ralph lving there, to have everything in the and not having anything! (TO BE CONTINUED) PEROXIDE BLONDES ARE AFFINITIES Owe a Great Deal to Science Inhibitions Evanston, TIl, Aug. 4 (®—Perox- ide blondes and inhibitions were grouped as affinities of science to- day by Dr. H. N. Alyea of Prince- ton university, a speaker on the program of the American Chemical society institute at Northwestern university. Peroxide blondes, he said, owe a great deal to scientific inhibitions, for inhibitions in chemistry, it was explained, are used to keep things fresh and lasting. “By means of Prof. from seeming world, inhibitions,” said Alyea, “we can prevent hutter becoming rancid, foodstufts from spoiling, and eventually we may be able, With them, to retard harmful life processes such as the growth of diseased tissue and germs. “Inhibition will continue to ren- der lasting service to blondes, for to prevent rapid decomposition in drogen peroxide.™ By use of inhibitors—which retard oxidation—rubber now lasts Dr. Waldo L.

FARRELL (NEA Service Sports Writer) Gene Tunney, as a reward for his act in stopping honest and harmless Tom Heeney in the eleventh round of their recent meeting for the world’s heavyweight championship, is being hailed now in some sec- tions of the press as the greatest of all heavyweight champions. He is, according to his suddenly enthusiastic glory spreaders, & faster man than Jim Corbett and a better boxer; a better defensive fighter than Jack Johnson. and a more damaging hitter than either Jim Jeffries or Jack Dempsey. There can be no doubt that no| champion ever looked better in winning a fight than Tunney did in Miss Mae Sliney of Spring street | {will spend the next two weeks at Pleasant View, R.

Meeker to Start Tour | Of New England Today | New York, Aug. 4 —Ezra Meek- | er, 97-year-old pioneer and author, | leaves tomorrow evening for a tour of New England in an old fashion- ed covered wagon top and body| mounted on a Ford chassis. The | tour is being made in the interest| of the Oregon trail memorial asso- | ciation, of which he was the found- er. He will sell memorial half dol-! lars on the trip. The New England trip is prelimi- nary to a transcontinental journey over the trail upon which he hopes to place commemorative monuments to the pioneers who blazed it, pur- chased by the funds derived from the sale of the half dollars. Accompanying Mr. Meeker on the trip will be Ralph Steen, 25-year- old University of Kansas student who will act as chauffeur, The two will camp out en route, | Heeney as his opponent but he has | Risko, or Sharkey, or Delaney. pounding a weaponless opponent un- til he couldn’t stand any longer, and | it is quite certain that if Heeney | hadn't been equipped with terrific endurance that Tunney might have | won that fight as quickly as Demp- | sey turned in some of his victories. But merely on what he showed in blinding Heeney and in stopping a man who had a physical handicap that made it impossible’ for him to reach him we can’t sce Tunney as a super-champlon or even as a great champion. And it is purely upon the basis of what he did to Heeney that he is being dressed in new gar- ments as the king of all the heavy- weight Kings. Was No Hand Picked Qpponent Tunney insists that he didn’t pick a convenient way of forgetting things he says and does. Perhaps he cared not the slightest whether Tex Rickard picked Heeney, or it is quite certain that Tunney didn't object to Heeney. John Mortimer, part owner of Heeney, told the writer that Heeney positively was forced to accept terms requiring him to pay over his purse and his share af the movies if he defeated Tunney. There is nothing off-shade in such terms, if they| really were forced upon the chel-| lenger, because all the champions want such a safeguard to their titles in these days. And it may even indicate that Tunney thought Heeney would be a very difficult man. But he didnt’ train like he thought that way and he didn't fight Heeney that way. He started leading right hand punches in the first round and as Benny Leonard said after the fight: “It would have been suicide against any man who knew any- thing whatever about fighting.” Tunney knew that he would be in complete command before he started | the fight. He was correct in his an- | ticipation of his opponent's lack of threat. Heeney's arms were 80 short that he could not escape the long left hand that smashed his face and when Heeney did get close, Tunney gracefully and speedily glided away. (See the pictures.) Heeney Obeyed Gene's Warnings The champion knew that Heeney had no chance to reach him with a right hand to the jaw and when Heeney did succeed in doing it with a jolting punch in the first round the champion complained that his opponent had hit him on the break. Heeney said he wouldn't do it again and was overcautions in being clean through the second and third rounds, | Heeney said that Dempsey had told him to bear down with all his weight on Tunney's forearm near | the elbow when Tunney hel@ him | and then when he did it for the first time Tunney said to him—*See here, you fight clean, Heeney.” And Heeney replted—*Okay.” Tunney started Heeney going with a punch to the eye that a number READ RERALD CLASSIFIED ADS MR, STEBBINS WENT TO THE BACK DOOR THINKING LITTLE PAT HAD RUN6 THE BELL of experts eald was a gouge with ithe Vance playground Although the attendance at the playgrounds yesterday suffered from the. excessive heat, those activities which were conducted were enthusi- astically received. At the Washington playground trial races were held for the selec- tion of a relay team to represent. the playground at the policemen’s meet. Sam Capodice was picked as lead- off man, Walter Nedwick second, Jo- seph Ciancl third and John Nedbala as anchor man. It is expected that this team will give a.good account of itself when it faces the starter's gun Wednesday. Paddle Tennis Tourney Playground devotees of paddle tennis were treated to several ex- citing matches this afternoon. 8am Dagola defeated James Marino, i 6-8; 6-4; 9.7, John Nedbala defeated Stanley Davis, 6-3; 8-6; 4-6; 6-3. In the finals John Nedbala de- feated Dagola, 8- 8-6; 6-2. Ned- bala’s play today makes him look ; like the coming champ. The girls' eliminations were post- poned until Monday morning. Vance Playground Heat means little to the boys at when they have a volleyball game scheduled. The “Black-babics™” and the “Brown- babies” opened a tournament which will be continued next week. The first game was particularly cxciting, the ball passing back and forth over the net sometimes for three and four minutes. The “Black-babies” were Ied by Batagowski and Davidson-and thie “Brown-babies” by Soha and Koplowitz. Th: masteriy defense ot the. “Blacks,” however could not withstand the drives of the “Brown’ and they went down to defeat 15-13 livered with the closed fist it left a very unusual mark and had a most unusual effect because it overlapped the upper and lower lids of the eye and almost totally blinded him. Tunney, in our own opinion, fought a brilliant winning fight only because he had nothing to do but stand there and pitch, and he didn't have to pitch anything but strikes at a man who came into him every time in the same track. He never fought that way before and he wouldn’t have changed in one year. He knew that Heeney was made for him because even the alleged ex- perts and everyone else knew it. - Maybe he would have stopped Risko, or Sharkey or even Hansen quicker and knocked them stiffer. But he was fighting Heeney and it is on his showing against Heeney that his new glory is being written. And Here's What Mandell Says We don’t know whether he is a good boxer or a great boxer. He couldn’t look bad against Heeney and it was very difficult for him to look good against Dempsey. But we believe that 8ammy Man- dell, the lightweight champioin, knows something about the art of boxing and he told the writer: “Tunney isn't a good boxer. He has nothing but speed. He holds his hands so low that he has to bring them up and then hook. His right hand is looped over and there is a lot of waste motion in his. His footwork isn't much. He can’t go to either side. He only flies backward and when he wants to get out of re- treat he has to stop dead still and set himself. That is the reason he looks bad when he gets his back to the ropes. He can't sidestep. I was prepared to see a great boxer against a man built for a hoxer but 1 didn’t even see a good one.” $25,000 1LOSS Boston, Mass,, Aug. 4 (A—Fire which caused damage estimated at $25,000 broke out on the stage of the Metropolitan theater, Boston's largest moving picture house, short- 1y before midnight last night.

He gave everything he-had yet a quarter of an hour later when I visited the dressing room he was stronger than ever. 1 asked him ‘Ray, do you want to run in the relay?’ He re- plied he would be tickled to death to do so. “Douglas T.owe was the best 800 meter man the world ever saw that day. He was fortunate, however, in reaching the peak of his running career at a critical moment. Hahn needs no apologies. He ran his race but he nor no one could have beaten Lowe Tuesday. Hahn has been win- ning races in the United States against time or a handful of com- petitors. He was thrown in here with a great field of all sterling run- ners who several times boxed or jostled him unavoidably. Hahn told me "afterwards he was satisfied he gave his best. Lowe would have run the 'the 800 in 1:50 on a faster track while Barbuti certainly would have established a world’; record. Bar- buti would have been at least a sec- ond faster.

Weight- man-Smith drew a soft lane in the finals, otherwise he might have won. He broke the world's record the day beforc yet he could not get up in the final test before Sid Atkinson stamped himself as the world's greatest at a critical time. The Americans have nothing but admira- tion for Lord Burghley's fine race in the 400 meters.

When it comes to the field cvents we had a more reliable basis for comparisons before coming to Amsterdam and we were not far wrong in our optimistic estimates. Naturally track conditions had noth- ing to do with these events. Our men have done splendidly and also do not forget we got as many breaks as anyone else, “Take the case of the hop, step and jump where Winter of Australia jumped a full foot farther than any- one else, but fouled at the take-off by a quarter of an inch. He was handicapped by a bad leg and in- tended to take but one jump. That was enough to win if he hadn't un- fortunately fouled.
