“Ralph Armitage would turn down anyone for you.” READ THIS FIRST: Lynda Fenton, a singularly inno- cent girl, is private secretary to| Ralph Armitage, who has an insane | wife. Her father, a drunkard, tells hér 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 companion from childhood. Emily plots against Lynda from the very beginning. 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 her, Lynda has been invited to a party, and Emily secretly sends David a letter, suggesting that he come home for the party, &0 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. It stirs her ire, | and turns her thoughts to Ralph. | Ralph has met with an accident, and Lynda goes to his home to take | dictation. There he holds her hand | and gains her sympathy, and when she bends and kisses him lightly, in simple innocence, he terminates the session. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXX The End of An Imperfect Day In her pity for Ralph Arwitage, Lynda Fenton had felt toward him just as she would have felt toward | David it life had dealt him such a| blow. A Ralph had asked In every way possible for her sympathy, and when she innocently gave it to him, he‘ had told her she must not stay any | longer. She could not understand it. 8he felt the tears rise to her eyes. 8he had thought that he was quite a8 understanding as David, but. it was perfectly apparent that he wasn’t, and now he might always think she was cheap. Surely not think she was with him. Emily Andrews had been quietly scrutinizing Lyn, and she decided there was something behind her 8- | lence. Too many emotions were passing across her face. “I wonder what happened at the Armitage house?” she asked herself. “‘Surely no girl in her senses would | be 80 senselcss as to turn Awmi down if he had let her see he was stuck on her, which I am sure he did. Lyn must have found out about Pamilla Sheston and come to the conclusion that the game was up as far as she, herself, was concerned. So she came backas soon as pos- he did | trying to flirt Emily asked, abruptly, hen are you going to invite me over to your house? You ought to have a party, and invite all of us very soon."” “I'm going to.” Lyn answered, “as soon Davie comes home. Claire and I were talking about it the oth- | er night. Each one of you girls will have to bring your own escort, for you know that with the exception of David and Mr. Armitage, whom I would not dare to ask, I do not What an innocent you must be ! We'll soon remedy that, however. I'll get Armi come. He won't be in bed long, | will he?” i “He wasn't in bed this morning, Emily. He was lounging in a gor- geous robe. They had split up the sleeve over his dislocated shoulder,” said Lyn, fnnocently telling Emily what that young woman desired to know. “But do you think that .Ir. Armitage would come to my house? He is pretty democratic, but I did not he would be as democratic | as tha | “Democratic, my hat! Ralph Ar-| mitage can be the most snobbish | person living if it suits him: but he | likes you. Don't you understand that? He would turn down an invi- tation from the Prince of Wales for | if T could just talk to you a little while, T might forget the pain of ting hones. Yes, dear girl, T know it is very |1ate. but I'm sure the ride in the moonlight will rest you. I fear that I tired you with my uphraiding of this afternoon. Get Claire nhope to come with you, and make me a call. The man wil SWEETHEARTS By IDAH McGLONE GIBSON Author of “My Son’s Sweethearts,” “Confessions of a Wife,” Etc. y Copyright, 1928, by Central Press Association, Inc. want to stay where you are. Aumi 15 a nice hoy, if thoroughly selfish | —one of thos: men whe never rec ognize traces except as something to | kick over. “As a business man, just now he is a splendid sheik. I will gay this for him, however: I think he will be all right when he gets a little older. He lives up to his code, and is not more selfish than most men. “Woell, here’s where I leave you, Lyn, here’s where I leave you. You take the bus, do you not?"” Gladly Lyn bowed her head. When she got home she found Claire looking as wretched as she felt, “Was Ralph Armitage able to see you?” she asked. At the question, Lyn remembered | that she had not said one word to| him about Claire. “Yes, I saw him,” she said, "but I did not stay very long. He said he was not able to give me dictation. 1 did not have time to say anything about your affairs. I'm awfully sorry, Claire, but I think he is ask- ing me to come out tomorrow, and then T tell him.” The girls ate their meai in silence. Tt had been a very Lard day for | both of them. Early Lynda went to her room. She took a hot bath, spent about half an hour over her nails, sprayed herself with perfume, and finally amused herself by put- ting an entirely new mouth on her face, She was just getting into bed when she heard Claire talking to someone, and then there was a tap- ping on her door. | “Lyn, dear, there is a man o here with a message for you Hastlly slipping on a bathrobe and | slippers, she came out into the liv- ing reom, to find Wilson, Ralph Armitage’s man. “Please, Miss Fenton, Mr. Armi- tage told me to give you this, and | wait for your reply.” Hastily opening the note, she read: “Dear Lynda: Lynda, may he not?) “After you went away today, 1 felt that the sun had ceased to shine, and that my room was tull of lurking shadows. I began also to think that perhaps you might feel as though I had not wished you to stay. I did not mean to be tco abrupt in sending you away; but, my dear girl, T could not stand the raff another minute, It was because I wanted you to stay so much that 1 told you to go. I felt, my taut nerves, stretched to the breaking point, were suddenly going to pieces, and T was vain enough not to want vou to see me in a condition verg- ing on hysteria, “Nothing that you could have done would have helped matters in the least, and T did not want to frighten you, so I thought the bhest thing to do was to try to decently carry on by myself. “Tonight I am wakeful, u happy and blue, and it that seems to me AUNT HET T QUILILEN you “f wish you had not told me | about his tactics, Emily."” “I had to, Lyn. Any girl who be- | comes a secretary to Armi has to become hard-boiled, if her time in | his office is not short. You just| come to me, old girl, if that boy | tries any of his cutey ways on you, and T'll enlighten you as to what he means by any or all of them.” | “It's a hard job to keep, Lynda, and I'm not quite sure yet if are clever enough to do it.

Temperatures which ranged from 90 to 102 in the communities of the state drove practically the entire population to the beaches and parks in search of relief and the roads were crowded with automo- Liles, One Auto Death The only automobile fatality over the week-end was reported in South Windsor where Eurepetti Daniel of High Point, N. C., received injuries in an accident from which he later died at Hartford hospital. John Kol- laras, driver of the car in which Daniel was riding, claimed that he was blinded by the lights of on-com- ing cars when his machine collided with another, The drowning victims were: Fred Theo, 9, drowned in West river, at Anna Smith, 11, in Housatonic river at Derby; John Borgrzuk, 13, in Rockland’s park at Franklin; John Keane, 33, in State's Roscoe Guerrera, 22, in Bell View lake at Waterbury. Those who succumbed to the heat were: John Best, 48, at Midletown where temeprature was 102, Djalmar Lehpimar at Jewett City and Wil- liam Donahue in Bridgeport. Southington, Rockfall, Hartford, Winsted and Ellington were hardest hit by the lightninng and storm. At Rockfall, the plant of the Rogers Mfg. Co., was struck by a bolt of lightning and. several hundred dol- lars damage was caused by the fire which resulted. In Southington, a barn was destroyed by fire which followed a bolt of lightning, and 100 telephones were put out of order. Many trees were also felled. Thou- sands of dollars damage was done to the tobacco crop at Ellington When rain, hail and lightning swept the plantations in rapid succession. Barn Burns A barn on Farm Hill road, Hart- ford was destroyed by lightning and fire, five horses losing their lives in the blaze. Three calves were de- stroyed in Judge Ernest S. Fuller's barn at Somers in a similar manner, the barn itself being saved through the efforts of a bucket brigade. In Winsted, a barn owned by Joseph Lewis was struck, and burned to the ground in the fire that followed.

The threat of a party split, which has flared and simmered since the Houston convention, assumed im- portance again Saturday when har- | mony did not prevail in county con- ventions in the state's three most thickly populated counties, Dallas, Harris and Tarrant. wave of last week. The rains, which started Saturday, continued over | much of the middle west on Satur- | day night and Sunday. i Temperatures in Chicago yester-! day had fallen below 70, and pre- | diction by the weather bureau indi- cated the intense heat was at an end. | HOPE O GUT DOWN S30.000 ESTINATE Dedication Committes Chairmen Will Meet This Evening When chairmen of the sub-com- mittees for the World war memorial dedication meet tonight, Chairman Edward F. Hall of the finance com- mittee will convey to them his ob- jectlon to their $30,000 budget of expenses and will recommend that programs be altered to bring about a general reduction. This estimate of cost in conjune- tion with the dedication was made after the chairmen had presented figures on the approximate costs of the work laid out for them. In al- most every instance, the figure was arrived at with no particular infor- mation on hand and it was intended only to give the finance committee a rough estimate of what funds are likely to be needed, the chairmen say. As an example, they cite the refreshment committee, whose Budget calls for $6,000. This com- mittee has no information as yet {o how many visitors will be in line, and 1t 1s upon this detail that the entire auestion of outlay for lunches hangs. The musie committes in lke- wise without information as to how many divislons will be in the parade, how many units will have their own musie or how many bhands will he needed. These and other commit- tees can and are willing to pare down their estimates to whatever figure the finance committee wishes to set, the chajrmen assure, Chairman Hall will meet with his committee hefore taking up the dis- cussion with heads of other groups tonight. This ix the firat session of the finance committee. Charles F. Smith, who quit the memorial committee last week in protest against the proposed ex- | penditure believes, he writes, a dig- | nified and proper celebration can be | had for one-fifth of this amount, or $6,000. Chairman George H. Dyson of the general committee has fixed the expenses at between $10,000 and |$15,000 and would be unwilling to | |mo higher, he has sald. Senator {Hall, while unable to make an es- timate at this time believes the figure of $30,000 is entirely too high, | he said today. | One room in Ruckingham palace is fitted up as a dentist's office. | READ HERALD CLASSIFTED ADS | AND THIS NOTE S\GNED WRAT DOES worve Opposing Forces Opposing state convention dele- gations, one favoring endorsement of the ticket from the president down, the other asserting the right of the individual democrat to follow his consclence, were named in these counties. This threw eventual set- tlement of the issue upon the cre- dentials committee of the state democratic convention. The chief barrage of a day of conventions was laid down at the scene of Gov. Alfred E. Smith's nomination, when factional differ- ences culminated in a fist fight which precipitated a riot call to quiet the 200 men and women delegates. The outburst came when W. W. Smith, Jr., a Smith man, and Alvin 8. Moody, an anti-Smith leader, spurred by differences of opinion regarding the presidentiail nominee, engaged in personalitieis, The lie was passed when each accused the other of previous membership in the klan. Smith Wins The E&mith element dominated, and a resolution pledging support down the line from ‘“president to constable” was shot through. Heat- ed exchanges of words marked the gatherings at Dallas (Dallas county) and Fort Worth (Tarrant county). In the former, opposing state candidates became the standard bearers of the opposition elements. Thomas B. Love, candidate for lieutenant governor was named to head the county’s anti-Smith dele- gation, while leadership of the regulars was entrusted to Lieuten- ant Governor Rarry Miller, who opposes Love in the run-off primary August 25. Love was the only active anti-Smith man to survive last month's state primary, he run- ning second to Miller in a field of six. Vote to Omit Names Rusk, Galveston and Harrison counties voted to omit from the run-oft ballot names of candidates who had refused support to the party’s nominees. Bexar county (San Antonio) voted to drop Love's name, while other counties indi- cated opposition of candidates af- filiated with the “bolt.” Travis county ( Austin) dropped the name of two delegates who as- serted they would not vote for the presidential nominee. Investigating Death Of Private Degman Hull, Mass., Aug. 6 (UP)—Police and military authorities today were investigating the circumstances un- | der which Private Jerry Degman of |the 13th infantry, attached to Fort ! Warren, received injuries may cause his death. Degman was in a critical condi- tion in the camp hospital at Andrews, Paddocks Island, this morning. TIndications were that he which had been beaten on the head with' a ‘bottle, and authorities believed him the victim of an assault by scv- eral drunken men, The assault was thought to have been made when the soldier visited | a fishermen’s colony on the west side of the island. Fort | GERMAN FLIER DIES IN JERSEY AIRPLANE CRASH Had Survived Four Years of Action During the World War. Plainfield, N, J., Aug. 6 (P—A fier who survived four years of fighting with the German air forces at the front during the world war fell to his death in a New Jersey fleld last night when his plane failed him. A pupil he was instructing al- 50 was killed. The two men, Gustave Staiger, 30, of New York, veteran of the Ger- man army, and Colongwood Harris of Cranford, N. J., had taken oft but a few minutes before from the Had- ley air field, after telling their wives they were going for a short instruction flight. Motorists alorg the main highway between Plainfield and Metuchen saw the slowly moving plane, its en- gine missing, fiying at a low alti- tude .Then suddenly it nose dived, crashed into a field near the roud, bourided high in the air and came down a tangled mass of wreckage. The bodies, both decapitated, were so tangled in the wreckage that it was not until two hours later that they were removed. Staiger entered the German air service at the outbreak of the war when he was only 16 years old. Dis- charged with a brilliant record at the close of hostilities he entered | commercial aviation .He came to| this country two years ago and since had been actively engaged in flying.
