HIR B ———— WIND P T COPYRIGHT 1928 £Y NEA SERVICE INC ELEANOR EARLY THIS HAS HAPPENED Sydil Thorne, bride of two weeks, | has' deserted her husband iIn Ha- vana, Richard Eustis, fascinating | and‘unmoral, swept her into an im- | petuous marriage after five days' courtship. They met on shipboard and were married in Havana har- bor. On their wedding night Richard became Intoxicated, and despite con- | stant promises, he continues 1o drink. Following a particularly sor- did scene, Sybil leaves him to spend the night in another hotel. In the morning, moved to forgive him | again, she returns to their apirt-| ment. Richard lies in a drunken stupor across the bed. On the floor there is an empty bottle and the| card of one of Havana's notorious women, Completely disillusioned, ~ Sybil seeks Mabel Blake, a Boston social | worker, with whom she had made the trip to Cuba. Mabel, meantime, 1as become engaged to Jack Moore, | an’ American salesman working in | Havana. Sybil tells them of the| final break with Richard, and b Mabel to return to Boston with her. | They sail that afternoon, leaving Custis still asleep. | On the way home Mabel surprises | Sybil by suggesting an immediate | livorce and advancing the possi- | Uility of marriage with Craig New- | hall. Craig is a fine young man — | the most eligible bachelor in Bos- | ton—and very much in love with | Sybil. 8he was in fact engaged to ilm at the time of her mad mar- | riage with Eustis. Sybil becomes ili and Mabel, thoroughly alarmed, seeks the ad- vice of Dr. Henderson, a passenger on their boat. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXIV i Mabel had never felt so uncom- | fortable in her life. A brick red flush intensified her unbecoming sunburn. She felt that all the blood in her face had rushed to her blis- tered nose. Even her eyes smarted | with painful embarrassment. “And I'm a social worker, reminded herself sternly, “and sup- posed to be hard boiled!” Dr. Henderson was regarding her curiously. “If there is anything I can do—" | he repeated, and smiled in an| amiable, professional sort of way. | I“It isn’t about myself I wanted| tq ask you,” she stammered. “It's| a friend of mine. Oh, Doctor, | won't you sit over there for a few minutes so that I can talk without anybody hearing us?" They found deck chairs while| poor Mabel murmured distractedly, | “You're very good.” And when they had seated themselves she began to talk rapidly. “I don’t know how to begin. Per- haps I'm foolish 10 bother you, but I'm so worried. You eee—it's this way, Doctor—" and she launched into the story of Bybil's marriage. *Now,” she concluded hopeless] “you see how it is. If the poor girl's going to have a baby, it's perfectly awful, for she doesn’t mean to tell anyone that she las been married. She doesn’t want to have anything to do with that wicked man. And besides—it would be terrible to oring a child into the world with a heritage like that. “Richard Eustis was drunk al- | Craig most every blessed minute. If she's | | contemplate. |golng to have a baby, everybody will know about her marriage. And they’d know she had run away from her husband. Oh, it would be so dreadful!” Mabel sighed miserably. Then a thought, like lightning, flash.d across her mind. “Heavens above!” “it would be worse They'd never believe been married at all.” groarad that. lad she than Sybil Doctor Henderson iwirled thumbs upon his little round stom- ach. “And how,” he asked, “did you think T could help you?” Mabel explained. “But you see I may be making a mountain out of a mole hill. But she's perfectly miserable, She hasn’t been able to cat a thing since we came ahoard. Do you suppose, Doctor, that she| is going to have a baby Thoughttully the little gazed upon the ocean. “Well, now, that's cult thing to say -— at this stage of the game. There are no hard and st rules for the condition you None at all — un- physician a very diffi- fortunately T should advise that you keep your misgivings from her. Divert her mind. Get her out on deck if you can.” “Would you be willing to drop in and see her, Doctor?" “It wouldn't do a particle good, my dear young lady.” of That night Sybil slept fitfully. abel never closed her eyes.

Leader Tells Kiwanians The man or woman who does not get out on election day and vote, re- gardless of his or her party affilia- tions is not playing the part of & good citizen, according to John F. Pickett, of Middletown. Mr. Pickett, who is a former state commander of the American Legion, spoke to the members of the Kiwanis club today on “What Makes a Good Citizen.” He opened his address by reading a portion of the Declaration of In- | dependence and the preamble from | the constitution of the United States. He said these things constitute the consideration which is required in all contracts and are the considera- tions held out by the party of the first part, the United States. The party of the second part, which he characterized as Mr. Average Citi- zen, owes as his consideration cer- i 1in duties, including loyalty to “his | country. Mr. Pickett said that 10 years ago four million boys offered their lives as a supreme sacritice while millions more offered their services behind the lines. Today when there is no war he said the test of a good citi- zen is character. He said a man does not need a good education to be a good citizen, | although one of his duties is that of | providing education for the youth. But the providing of educational fa- cilities and being a good provider for his wife and family, he said, were not enough. He said the American Legion I8 pledged to a movement to encourage ‘ull citizens to exercise their right to [ vote. “We have no candidate and | we support no party,” he said, “but | we do not feel that a man or woman !is playing the part of a good citizen unless he or she exercises the right cf the ballot.” | || H.S.

Ogilby presi- dent of Trinity college, in an article written for the state motor vehicle department. He sees “coming con- tempt for the law, just at a time when we ought to be acquiring re- spect for it.” He streases the things as the cardinal points in fullfilment of respect for the law, the lezisla- tion of reasonable motor laws, legis- lation to be made clear and finally enforcement of the law. He claims that the everyday motorist has got- ten a good understanding of the law through the motor laws of the statc. President Ogilby stresses the need of more policemen in the state and adds that “the traffic policeman is proving his worth in our civiliza- tion by bringing to us the lesson Gf observance of the law.” « Legal Notice Fourteen days from date I shall sell at the Public Sign Post, in the City of New Britain, Conn., all the stock and fixtures in grocery and meat market located at 676 West Main street, New Britain, Conn., the property of Fred Litke.
