THIS FIRST: Shut within the doors of every .home there is the warm and glowing ‘story of & mother's incomparable ‘love, Mra. Milburn had eome to the Little Yellow House, on Flower street, owned by Uncle Bill Parks, 35 years before, when she and Charlle Milburn were married. Through all these years they had only known poverty. Mrs. Milburn had kept everything neat and looked after her three children, Emmy, 18; Dan, 13, and Perry, 21. While the little yellow house, on the ugly street near the mill, was now sooty and be- grimed, it had never lost its charm for Mrs. Milburn. The story opens on Mrs. Milburn's birthday. Grandmoth- er Pentland, who had never approyv- ed of Mrs. Milburn’s marriage to Charlie, has arrived. Grandmother urges Mra Milburn to accept $50 as & present from her to pay the long overdue rent. Grandmother takes the opportunity of again scolding about the shiftlessness of Charlie Milburn. Mra. Milburn finally takes the money. As Grandmother is leaving she asks Emmy to take her out to her car. (NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY) CHAPTER 11 “What's this Hollis hanging around the house for, all the time?” Grandmother Pentland asked, sharp- 1y, when she and Emmy stood in the backyard beside her smart little closed car. “Why—I don't know—He and Perry are good friends,” Emmy fal- tered, never had stopped to figure out why Robb eame to the house so often. He Just came, that was all. “Nonsense! He's after you,” Grandmother Pentland said, and her lips came together with a snap. Her black eyes seemed to plerce the darkness like twin gimlets. “How old are you, Emmy, now?" “Seventeen.” “Hmm—Well, your mother met your father when she was about your |age,” the old lady went on. “Don't | you do what she did, mind! Don’t |you marry a good-looking face and i@ tenor voice—and then be sorry for it all the rest of your life!"” The thought flashed across Em- | my's mind that if her mother was leorry she had married her good- {looking fater, she certainly did not ‘seem at all sorry. *“This Hollis may look like a movie actor, but don’t forget that he's |mothing but a factory hand down in {Jim Tello’s woolen mill just the same =—and probably always will be!" “He's & foreman!” Emmy broke #n, quick to defend him. “And he |goes to night schools. He's study- — “See? There you are! Standing up for him already!” Grandmother Pentland was bitterly triumphant. “All right, Emmy; it's nothing to me, I'm sure, if you want to get yourself mixed up with a mill hand and stay in this place all the rest of your days!” 'Oh, no!—No!"” Emmy’'s voice was & little wailing cry. “Well, then, keep your head on your shoulders! And remember the @o0d old proverb: ‘Marry not for oney, but marry where money {s.’ 'here's no better advice for a poor &irl like you, Emmy!" Bhe climbed nimbly into her au- tomobile and tucked a fur robe snug- ly around her knees. “You understand me, #he asked, and her words seemed to chink together like pleces of money, Emmy nodded her head. She was till nodding it thoughtfully when ler grandmother backed the car out jof the narrow driveway and drove ioff into the chilly darkness. She |stood there alone, for a moment, ‘looking around her. The little backyard was like a iroom, shut in by its high walls. It ma open to the starless sky, and | tho lighted windows of the mill| 'lookefl down upon it. In the sum- mer it was filled with Mrs. Milburn's xfl"efl. and the fragrance of it sometimes caught at Emmy’'s throat Emmy?" | POOR PA BY CLAUDE CALLAN | “My sister Nan criticized ;] me a lot while she was here, but it was just her way of makin’ her visit agreeable to Ma.” (Conpgright, 1928, Publisners Byndicate) I “and we all like him.” She| when she stepped into it. But to- | prison cell to her. The air was heavy, | and it smelled and tasted of smoke. {In one of the neighboring yards a | child was crying loudly. “Oh, no—no!"” Emmy aloud the words she had just said to her grandmother as she turned |and started back towards the house. Suddenly, halfway across the mud- [ dy lawn, she stopped. One of the [Kitchen window shades had been |left up, and through the glass she | could see her mother and Robb | The light from the lamp struck up- honest eyes, his arched nose, his lips that came together so firmly above the clean line of his chin. . . . Yes, he was every bit as good to look at as Grandmother Pentland had said he was. “But if I were going to get excited about him, I'd have done it long |ago,” Emmy reflected with the wis- dom of 17. Why, even if she were old enough to really fall in love with a man she never would fall in love with Robb Hollis, she told herself. She knew him far too well. She knew him as she knew Dan or Perry. He was like one of her brothers to her. “He's after you,” Grandmother | of hers. “How silly! 1It's impossible,” thought Emmy. But the idea that he might be was exquisitely disturb- ing to her, all the same. It stayed in her mind and made her shy a second or two later when face to face with him. “I've been asking Robb to stay and sald as she stepped into the kitchen. “But he won't. And just see what he's brought me, Emmy. A jar of Ming Cha tea—it ~smells just like flowers drying in the sun, Ligom Emmy's shy gaze went from the | little jar that was held up to her to Robb's face. He was looking down | at her with that engaging friend- liness of his, and running a hand through his dark unruly hair that never would lie smooth and flat. “I can't stay. I'm not dressed. 1 just ran in for a minute on my way up from the mill,” he explained. Emmy’'s eyes, critical all at once, went over him.

Emmy shivered a little. “If Robb wants to go, Mother, we mustn’t keep him,” she said, in a flat voice, and walked across the kitchen to the door that led into the dining room. Robb followed her. In the hall he paused, looking into the sitting-room where the rosy lamplight shone on the red gerani- ums, the gilt picture frames, and the polished sides of the Steinway plano that Mrs. Milburn had brought with her to Flower strect when she mar- ried. “Sing ‘Johnny McCree’ for me, will you, Emmy?" he asked, surprisingly. “At this time of day? Why it's supper time, Robb! I'm busy.” Em- my shook her bright head. “It wouldn't take you two min- utes."” “I haven't two minutes,” she an- swered, stubbornly. “And, anyway, {1 don't feel like singing tonight.” She opened the front door to let him out. It was the first time she had ever refused to sing for anyone in her life. For she loved to sing. She had a very good little voice, clear |and true; and she sang the way Rob- ert Browning's thrush sang—with a “fine careless rapture.” Deep down in her heart, Emmy | expected great things of that voice 1of hers. She counted upon it to lead her out of the murky wilderness of Flowe things that she passionately wanted ‘trnlll life—the kind of things that Marianna had.

After that other glittering JUST KIDS AFiAGPoLE | srrers, strcet and to give her the| opportunities would come along, no doubt, Emmy figured. . . . " She could feel Robb's puzsled eyes upon her she stepped out into the shadows of the porch ahead of him. “Good-night,”” he sald, huskily, and abruptly ran down the steps. “I've hurt his feelings, I sup- pose,” Emmy said to herself, “I don't care! I can't sing for him every time he wants me to!" But she did care. A lump came into her throat as she watched his tall, broad-shouldered figure swing up the street. 8he felt like crying because, in some mysterious fashion, her grandmother's words that after. noon had spoiled her friendship with Robb Hollis. . . . “He's after you." They echoed in Emmy's ears as she stood at the top of the ateps, swallowing hard and looking up and down the street—up and down the sordid dark length of it. Everything in sight was ugly and cheerless ex- cept the street lamps, and they were like gold beads strung on a dirty cord. | “No, indeed, I certainly am not jgoing to spend my days in a place | like thi Emmy promised herself fervently once more and went back | into the house, (TO BE CONTINUED) EXPEDITION IS POSTPONED Chicago, Oct. 19 M — The em- barkation of the Field museum's ex- 1 pedition into the Pacific ocean un- der the leadership of Cornelius Crane, ‘Chicago and Ipswich, Mass., has been postponed until November 4, it was announced today.
