JURY OF READ THIS FIRST: Shut within the doors of every home there is the warm and glow- ing story of a mother's incompar- = able love. Mrs, Milburn had come to the Little Yellow House, on Flower , street, owned by Uncle Bill Parks, twenty-five years before, when she and Charlie Milburn were married. Through all these years they had only known poverty. Mra. Milburn had kept everything neat and look- ed after her three children, Emmy, cighteen; Dan, thirteen, and Perry, twenty-one. While the little yellow house, on the ugly street mear the mill, was now sooty and begrimed, it had never lost its charm for Mrs. Milburn. The story opens on Mra, Milburn’s birthday. Grand- mother Pentland, who had never approved of Mrs. Milburn's mar- riage to Charlie, has arrived. Grand- mother urges Mrs. Milburn to ac-} cept fifty dollars as a present from | her to pay the long overdue rent. Grandmother takes the opportunity of again scolding about the shift- lessness of Charlie Milburn. Mrs. | Milburn finally takes the money. As| Grandmother is leaving she asks Emmy to pay no attention to Robb Hollis, young mill worker, who is in in love with Emmy. Emmy wants a “whie eollar” man and Robb wears working clothes. In a moment of Jepression, Emmy decides that she is not going to spend her days in the littid old house. She wants something finer. Emmy has brought home a pair of white gloves for a birthday present to her mother. Perry, the son, arrives home with a new lamp for his mother. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER 1V It was Perry, carrying a huge box covered with brown paper in his | arms. He set it carefully down upon | the floor before he tossed his hat upon the hooks under the hall mirror. “What's that, for goodness sake?” | his mother asked from the dining- room doorway. “Not a birthday present for me, I hope. Not in that | big expensive looking box!" “That's what it is, though,” Perry told her, as he cut the twine around the box with his pen knife and be- gan to tear oftf the heavy paper| " wrappings. “Take it out, yourself.” | Under the excelsior in the box was a large brass student lamp and | two emerald-green glass shades for | it. Mrs. Milburn's face quivered and her hand trembled as ahe lifted the | gleaming, burnished parts from the excelsior and tissue paper. | “Qh, Perry, it's that student lamp | we saw in Salvage's last Christmas! | I remember it—I remember the| price!” she wailed. “You shouldn’t have bought it! You shouldn’t spend your money on me like this. You need it, yourself.” “] got it choap” Perry said| gruffly. “Get some oil, Emmy, and | we'll fill it and light it up—see how it looks.” “It's beautiful without being lighted.” Mrs. Milburn ran her !lhands over the green glass shades jas ahe looked up at him. Her blue ieyes blessed him, Perry was twenty-one. He was | 'sending himself through college, working afternoons for the same ad- vertising firm that his father work- ed for. Mr. Milburn was a salesman for the firm—the Upstill-Unger Ad- !ivertising Agency it was called. ! Perry did “ad art” drawings for {them. Terrible atutt it was, 50 he Isald, Pictures of beautiful girls joy- * fully smearing their lovely features | with cold cream.

Upstairs in Perry's room that looked out upon the sycamore tree in the side yard was a brown deal table covered with artists’ tools: soft pencils, diminishing glasses, cartridge paper, and a knife that he called & “jigger,” a tiny thing in which he used old razor blades. FHere he would work for hours, two or three nights a week, on drawings of bridges, towering of- fice .buildings, sailing vessels and POOR PA BY CLAUDE CALLAN “l got awful tired at church Sunday, but Ma was planni’ a new dress an’ didn’t notice the long ser- mon.” (Copyright, 1928, Publisners Syndicate) Real Estate Listings Welcomed. Use the Telephone. “There's nobody like y watertronts. These were the things that he liked to do, and not the beautiful cold-creamed girls or the square-jawed voung men for the Upstill-Unger people. “Some day I'll do them, too, and cut out the ad art stuff altogether,” he told Emmy once, his dark head bent over the table, his blue intent upon his work. This his great ambition. . . . At eight o’clock Mr. Milburn had not come home, and the family sat down to supper. “Something must have kept your father down town.” Mrs. Milburn said, carrying the bowl of haked po- {atoes into the dining room. “Too bad we haven't a telephone, so he could let us know, isn't it?" The potatoes: were heavy and soggy by this time, the lettuce sal- ad had wilted in its pale-yellow dish, and the br:ad pudding was not the golden-brown coficoction it had been at six-thirty when it should have been eaten. The “ambassador pudding,” Mrs. Milburn called it. She bloomed and flushed at the head of the table, as if she were at a banquet. She tried on the white kid gloves, and her eyes seemed to grow brighter and more blue with pleasure as she held up her hands in them. “If there's anything in the world was a pair of new kid gloves,” she said. It took so little to please her. “But you shouldn’t have hought them tor me, Emmy, when you nced stockings so badly,” she went on, with a shake of her head. “And Perry should have kept his money too instead of spending it on that lamp.” After the meal was over they all went into the sitting room to have nothet look at the new lamp. They gathered about it. Its emerald shades, its mellow glow, transform- ed shabby, cozy little room them. It was like a new room. The old pink-shaded lamp, with Dying Gladiator done in silver, stood on the piano, picked it up. “Now,” he said, “at last put the Dying Gladiator German Perry pink shade.” him and took it out of his hands. *No, no, we'll put it in the dining room—on the sideboard,” she said. “It'll be nice and bright in there. T like that lamp. Your father and | started housekeeping with it, see.” AUNT HET BY ROBERT QUILLEN “I don't want no man tellin" me how tired he is from settin’ in front of a fan all day when I've been doin’ a week's washin’.” (Copyright. 1928, Publishers Syndicate) THE COMMERCIAL COMPANY INSURANCE REAL ESTATE Commercisl Trast Company Building Tel. 600! eyes | that can make me feel elegant, it's for its base that was a statuette of the we can up in the attic where he belongs—he and his He started out of the room with the lamp, but Mrs. Milburn went to ou anywhere, Emmy.” | Perry groaned, and o0 did Emmy. | She knew that the Dying Gladiator | was a horror. | She said so, aloud: | Mother.” | “Not to me,” answered Mrs. Mil- | burn hardily. “Your father bought |it at the Bagaar down town the week after we moved into this | house. I'll never get rid of {t—" | And she carried it out into the din- ing room and set it tenderly on the | top shelf of the old walnut side- | board. A | At half-past eight Robb came. He |and Perry were going to see the | hockey game at the Elysium Rink— | the first one of the winter season. l He was very spick-and-span now in his Oxford-gray suit, his gray shirt, his gray necktie dotted wita white, *Quite the handsomest man she had ever seen, Emmy thought suddenly, lookng at him from the viewpoint of that new idea that Grandmother Pentland had put into her head. . The idea that he was *“after” her. “Robb, I'm sorry I was a beast this afternoon,” she said to him, when they were alone for a minute in the sitting room. “I don't know what ailed me. I'm a little fool—" She laid her hand on his shoulder, just flicking it with her fingers, She saw his mouth set hard. His hand grasped her hand, held it tightly for a second, then let it drop. “You!" he said huskily. “There's nobody like you anywhere, Emmy—" Perry called to hall, and he went. Emmy stood like a statue until the sound of hig volce and Perry's voice died away outside. Grand- mother Pentland had been right then, and Robb was in love with her! . . . “There’s nobody like you | anywhere, Emmy—"" That was what he thought of her! She carried the memory of what he had said about with her for days as if it had been a lucky plece hid- den in her pocket, shining and gold- |en and precious, By nine o'clock that night the supper dishes were washed up and Emmy and her mother were settled down beside the table in the radi- ance of the new lamp. The black marble elock on the mantel-piece ticked away the seconds. A faucet “It's & norror, him from the dripped in tin bath petairs. Peace settled down upon the house like a soft blanket, “I wonder where your father is," Mrs. Milburn said presently, and something in her tone made Emmy glance up quickly from her book. “Tired, Mother?" “If I'm tired, it's a happy tired,” she answered. But she did not look happy. Thers was a strained, watch- ful look in her eyes and she kept turning her head toward the bay window.

She let out a soft little cry. “Look, Emmy, the first sno she sald. “Come here. Doesn't it look like Christmas Eve? All white and—" She broke off, and the muscles in her throat twitched in a spasm. A kind of fright came into her face. An orange-colored ' taxicab was just pulling into the circle of light thrown on the snow by the street lamp in front of the house. Before the driver jumped down | and opened the door of it, Emmy knew who was in that cab., Her father was the only person who ever came home to Flower street in a taxicab. She had heard him roll up in them many a time late at night. He came straight up the front walk tripping on the top step as he mounted to the porch, Mrs. Mil- { burn met him in the hall.

Emmy heard him ask. *I seem to have lost all mine somewhere, and T, owe the taxl man a little some- thing.” He sat down heavily on the window seat beside the door. Emmy heard it crack under his weight. “Emmy!"” her mother called; “run upstairs and bring down that bill that's folded up inside my apron pocket.” (TO BE CONTINUED) AUCTION SALE By Order of the City court of the City of New Britain, I will sell on November 1, 1928, at 2 o'clock p. m. by Public Auction on the premises, to the highest bidder, the following described plece or parcel of land, sit- uated in the Town of New Britain, and bounded and described as fol- lows: North by land of William J. and Thomas A.

ECNENER GUEST OF CHICAGD TODAY Talks of Fature of Transocéanic Airship Travel Chicago, Oct. 22.—(M—Dr. Hugo Eckener, with dreams of future air- ships which would make the Graf 4 d Chicago's guest today. ‘The commander of the transat- lantic dirigible, the Graf Zeppelin, with ‘Lady Drummond Hay, a pas- senger on the Atlantic flight, and members of his crew, arrived last night by train to be greeted by cheers of “Gut Heil!” and a tribute of pageantry that bespoke the ac- claim of “the sixth Gefman city.” ‘Transoceanic airships carrying 250 or 300 passengers were among Eckener's predictions. They would be like the Grat Zeppelin, he said, but | much larger. They would cross the oceans twice as fast as the fast liners and would fly on regular achedules. To See Ship To a crowd in the huge stadium of . | Boldier fleld, where he was officially welcomed, Dr. Eckener promised Chicago a glimpse of the Graf Zep- pelin during its westward continental flight. The giant ship is to fly over Chicago Friday after it leaves Scott fleld, Belleville, IIl. ‘The ‘martial music of two nations greeted the commander and his party as they arrived in Chicago. They were ushered to the stadium in a procession marching to fife and drum music of the “Victory Song™ of Prussia.

While the public watched the sensational rise of Nickel on the money mar- kets, the significant move back of it all was a British fight for peace, and the results will be world-wide. Fought in Markets “The skirmish in the world's drama of peace was fought out on the money markets. It has been un- der way for several months, but all the public saw of it was the grad- ual rise of Nickel and last week's fireworks. The general .atory which has gained credence in New York is that it all began nearly two years ago when the British chemical com- mission made its report to the Brit- ish government. 8ir Alfred Mond (Lord Melchett) was chairman of the commission.
