XHIR COPYRIGHT 1928 &Y NEA SERVICE INC i THIS HAS HAPPENED Sydil Thorne, Boston soclety girl. Bhad a baby. And the whcle 's talking. There are plenty of who do not credit the story Sybil's marriage. It was an un- unate affalr and .at the time pecy seemed advisable. i Sybil was married in Havana har- to Richard Eustis, whom she met shipboard, and who wooed her Grdently for five days: The marriage lasted two weeks, when Sybil et Rer husband for justifiable cause and returned to Boston with Mabel Blake, a social worker, with whom she was vacationing at the time. Weeks later she learned that she was going to have a baby. Then it became neceasary to tel her famiiy, and also Craig Newhall, who had been her sweetheart. The marriage tu formally announced, and Sy- child was born. 8he had fully pected to be indifferent to the E:by because of the hatred she bore is father. But, to her own amaze- fnent, she worships her son with all er heart. She baptizes him Edward horne, in memory of her own father, and renounces for him his Bather. Sybil's brother, Tad, is married to quarrelsome little girl named Va- rie. Valerie quarrels with the whole ily, and leaves, in one of her ntrums, to visit friends in New aven, NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXXII : Tad breathed a sigh of relief, and Peflected pleasumbly, at weekly in- tervals thereafter, that he had Va- ferie’s own word on the futility of Boing for her. He went instead to Wianno, hav- ng sent his wife a check to easc is consclence. And there he found [Craig playing on the sands with ung Edward. Sybil had gone to yannis for a pink sport hat, and en her mother with her. | “They left me,” announced Craig, Mo mind the baby. Do you know," Be enquired plaintively, “why they eat sand? Infantile roughage, I suppose.” He ran his finger expertly around he baby's toothless cavity. “Look at that! They say it's good r hens. Lay or bust. Makes ells, or something. This kid will laying, if 8ib doesn’t look out. ust eats it up — loves it. Regular —the little gourmand!” Tad poked the child affectionately In the ribs, and spoke unclewise. “Well, old man! How's the boy?” He proffered a thumb, and ex- iclaimed proudly, “Look at that for grip, Craig. Gosh, the little ella’s strong. Great kid!" Presently a nursemaid, very cor- rect in crisp black and crinkiing [batiste, came to take the baby to the house #0 that the men were flett alone for the first time in many months, “Wondertul Cral “Scorcher up town,” contributed Tad. “Been & pretty good summer “Not &0 tough.” “How's Val?" “Fine, Visiting a girl she used to go to school with.” “Ever see anything of the old crowd?” - “Not a thing. The old crowd jain’t what it used to be—girls all 'sone cuckoo. Lot of booze hounds.” They sat In silence. Old wisc lyouths. With the cup of life turned (sour at their 1ips. Craig stretched (his long legs, and lit a cigaret. Men find it easier to talk when they !wreathe their heads in smoke. “Tad,” he asked, “where's legg Sib married?” “Florida, last T heard of him. ‘Real estate in Saint Petersbur:. 1 had detectives on his trail for lawhile, but Sybil was set on letting things rest, and there wasn't any isense In throwing away money if ishe wouldn’t use the goods, once she got them. “In fact she never knew I had detectives after him. Moore Ithought he jumped out to South America, and that's the story Sib ‘has, Tt would probably be easy lenough to get grounds for divorce, day,” commented an that POOR PA BY CLAUDE CALLAN “I guess I'd bLetter buy Ma the silver coffee pot she’s been wantin’. My sisters are comin’ an’ it may keep her in a good humor while they’re here.” (Copyright, 1928, Publishers Syndicate) but it's a devil of a story to bring to court.” “Couldn’t she allege desertion?” “Well, you sece it was Sib who walked out on him."” “How about non-support?” “Bring him to court on a charge like that, and all he has to do s prove his willingness to provide— and the case goes right out the win- dow. “You see, Sib's thinking of the kid. She’s been through an awful lot, and it seems to me that divorce would be the last straw. “The game's not worth the candle. What would she get out of it? A lot of cheap talk, and a bunch of headlines, Did she ever tell you about the reporters storm- ing the place when someone tinped them off that there had been a . se- cret marriage. And that story about ‘expecting the stork’!” Tad groaned aloud. “Of all the sickeming innuendoes! The stork! And they dressed up their yarn like a saccharine bed- time story.” He lapscd into mournful silence. Craig blew thoughtful rings. “If the thing could be done half decently,” he said, “I think Sybil would marry me. Tad appraised his friend belliger- ently. “And do you know what people would say?" he demanded. Craig shrugged. “No—what would they say 2" “Val's mother had the nerve to tell me the other day that the kid looks like you. Dolly Weston says so, too. Cute little joke of Dolly's. And it's an open joke in the Gray- son crow For God's sake, Craig. . . Newhall was on his feet, flicking ashes off his knickers. His face, as he stooped to his shoe strings, was flushed, but his mouth quirked hu- morously. “Don’t be an old woman, T: l he admonished. “And,don’t let your personal viewpoint influence Sybil's happiness.” “Not a'chance,” Tad assured him stiffly. il's got a mind of her own, and she's pretty much fed up on marrlage, if you're asking me.” “But Sybil's young.' insisted Craig. nd she's not going to let a philanderer and an adventurer like Eustis wreck her whole life. She's had a pretty tough time you know, Tad. You're not going to withhold all her 'hope for the fu- ture?” Tad scowled unhapplly. “She has her child,” he maintained stub- bornly. “What more does she want?” Craig laughed shortly. “Don’t be a fool, Tad,” he coun- seled brusquely. Sybil was very busy that summer, and Craig had scant opportunity to talk with her alone. Sometimes he thought she deliberately avoided him, But once as they sat alone on the veranda, she tuncked her hand in his, and drew him to the rail to look at the moon riding over the sea. “It's so beautiful!” she cried with a touch of wildness. *“It—it males me fearfully lonely. T can't explain. It drives me simply crazy—a night Iike this. There's no peace in it for me. It's so hurtfully glorious. t—it—" She put her hand on her heart. And a thick, heavy silence fell upon them. The sort of stillness that falls when two people are in love and alone. Then, suddenly, the baby's voice broke the spell. “Teddy!” she cried. And, slip- ping her hand from Crai into the house. After that whenever he saw her, she talked of the child or of Mabel and her approaching wedding. Tt was as if she regretted the mad- ness of the moon, and feared that he might speak of that night when she had talked so wildly of bauty and loneliness. Mabel was to be married in the Fall.

But you know how it is with a sentimental gal llke me. Lots of fireworks. Mendelssohn's wedding march, and a veil. a carloal cf flowers, and trinkets in the cake.

Dolly Weston asked Val which she supposed the society edi- tors would call me—maid of honor, or matron?” *Well, Sib, you let yourself in for that sort of thing — insisting that the kid be called Thorne. You know how the wise-crackers ate that up. By the way,” Tad was claborately nonchalant, *I wonder what Val sees in Dolly Weston's | gan Oh, Val's all right, Taddy.” bil made her voice very reassur- »g. “Did you know she's helping me choose my dress this afternoon? And we're having tea together after- ward; He beamed his approval. “That's great, Sis. I'd like to see you two playing round more together.” Sybil smiled. There were limits to everything, she reflected — and playing round with Valerie was one of them. 8till, she would do a lot for Tad. And the girl certainly needed watching. , “Don’t you worry, dear,” she told him lightly. “Valis simply crazy about you—but she happens to be very modern. And it's dreadfully old-fashioned, among the moderns, to be openly devoted to legal mates.” The wedding, as weddings go, was a great success. Mabel’s aunt wept, in the fashion of aunts, and Mrs, Thorne after the manner of old friends of the iamily. Sybil was beautiful in velvet that borrowed the warm crimson of sparkling burgundy. The groom camouflaged his bald spot effec- tively, and wore a gardenia in his buttonhole, Afterward Mabel cut her wedding cake in the vestry, and threw her bouquet from the stairs. There were more tears, and a great deal of confetti, and much meaningless laughter. Until, at last, she and Jack escaped in a closed car, ‘oaned for the occasion, and drove to their hotel. They were taking the mid- night for New York, “I don’t care 1f it is hicky,” Mabel had defended her choice resolutely. “I'd rather sce a lot of good shows than a few mountains and lakes.” “Don’t froget Grant's tomb," teased Tad. “And there's Niagara, you know. All real hicks go to Niagara.” “Whose honeymoon is this any- how?" she wanted to know. “We'll ride on the top of a bus, and hold hands, if we want to. I only wish Coney Island was open!” At last it was over. Goodby . . Goodby. . . . Tad drove Sybil home. “Faster . ! I can hardly wait to see my baby “Well—well—sweetycake! ums miss oo muvver! muvver! Oh, he's jus’ a nicest boy whatever was! Bless his little heart. . . . Angel child!” The exquisite nonsense of moth- ers! Sybil was convinced that she had neglected her child. All the prep- aratigns for Mab's wedding. Shop- ping, ‘and fittings, and conference: “Well, he was a poor little hoy— and nobody loved him!” The Loy laughed his delight. And, cooing rapturously, pulled his mother’s halr, and put his soft little wet mouth against her cheek, and Dbeat her f: gleefully, with his tiny hands. “If 1 were religious, as I used to ] Y'MEAN To TELL iME THAT THIS |HERE EFFICIENCY FAD OF POLLY'S | AIN'T THE BUNK ?

Cgh! 1 do love bables—but it's so unesthetic, getting them. She crinkled her nose in a way that Tad had found entrancing some two yvears before. “Unesthetic your grandmother!"” he told her brutally. “You're scared. That's all that's the trouble with you."

WE'VE SAVED FIVE DOLLARS ON OLR TABLE ALREADY WYSTERY IN INJURY T0 BOY BIGYGLST Police Puzzled by Grashing of Lad's Lag by Track —_— The exact manner in which Rob- ert Goodrich, 13 years old, son of Mr. and Mra. Charles W. Goodrich of 3 Raymond street, Barnesdale, fell under a five-ton wand truck owned by William F. Quinn of 86 Bassett street yesterday forenoon at the intersection of West Main street and Corbin avenue, remain unde- termined, according to the report of Sergeant P. J. O'Mara, who inter- viewed all avuilable witnesses. Russell Baird, aged 14, of 742 West Main street, told Bergeant O'Mara that he and the injured boy were riding their Dbicycles home from central junior high school and the truck passed them about at the Intersection of the two streets. It was going slowly, according to the boy, but it seemed to move slightly towards the north curb as it passed, and in an instant the Goodrich boy was under the heavy machine and the rear right wheel passed over his right leg, crushing it. The Baird boy could not say whether or not the truck struck the Goodrich boy's bicyele. Nicholas Bruno of 13 Nash street, Frank Cafaratti of ' 325 Burritt street, and John Dagata of 11 Weat- erly street, who were working in the Stanley Works vacant lot on the northeast corner of the intersection, told the sergeant they did not see the accident happen, while William J. Birmingham, driver of the truck, told Detective Sergeant W. P. McCue that the two boys were standing be- side their bicycles as his truck passed. Whether or not they has- tened to take hold of the rear part of the truck to be pulled along with- out pedaling their bicycles is not known, but Birmingham said he felt no bump and would not have known of the accident had not someone called to him. Bergeant O'Mara reported that the pool of blood in which the injured boy was found was b feet, 10inches from the north curb and 39 feet from the center of the intersection of the streets. The truck stopped ‘west of the intersection and 147 feet from the pool of blood. At New Britain General hospital today, the injured boy's condition remained critical. His leg was bad- ly crushed and he lost considerable blood but he is thought to have a fairly good chance for recovery, TEACHERS ENJOY PICNIC The teachers of the Senior High school held their picnic at Pinnacle Rock yegterday afternoon.
