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 Flow- er 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. Mrs. Milburn had kept everything neat and looked atter her three children: Emmy, eighteen; Dan, thirteen, and Perry, twenty-one, While the ttle yellow house, on the ugly street near the mill, was now sooty and begrimed, it had never lost its charm for Mrs. Milburn. The story opens on Mrs. Milburn's birthday. Grandmother Pentland, who had never approved of Mrs. Milburn's marriage to Charlle, has arrived. Grandmother urges Mrs. Milburn to accept fifty dollars as a present from her to pay the long overdue rent. Grandmother takes the oppor- tunity of again scolding about the shiftlessncss of Charlie Milburn. Mrs. Milburn finally takes the money. As Grandmother is leaving she asks Fmmy to take her out to her car. Grandmother warns Emmy to pav ! ‘iention to Robb Hollis, young rker, who s in love with ‘mmy wants a “white collar’ nl Robb wears work- ing cic | 2 moment of depres- sion, I decides that she is not going to sprnd her days in the little 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. Early in the evening Charlie Milburn arrives home in a taxicab. He is intoxicated, as usual, but Mrs. Milburn always tells the children he is il'. Charlie has no money to pay his taxi bill and Mrs. Milburn takes the fifty dollar bill, which she had intended to use for paying the rent. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER V Emmy ran up to her mother's room and came down with Grand- mother Pentland’s birthday present in her hands. “I hate to give him this. It's a fifty-dollar biil. Do you suppose he can change it?” Mrs. Milburn asked, her doubting eyes fixed on the taxi driver waiting at the foot of the steps “If he hasn't change, he can get it sald Mr. Milburn easily, with a wide sweep of his hand. “Yes, but I'd hate him to lose it. It's the rent money. Mother gave it to me this afternoon for Uncle Bill—" “What's she giving you rent money for, I'd like to know?” Mr. Milburn asked angrily. Mrs. Mitburn stepped out into the night with the bill in her hand. Her husband followed her, and stood swaying on the threshold. “Why should we keep on paying rent, anyway asked loudly and belligerently. “We've been paying it for the last twenty-five years haven't we? We've bought this shack asix times over!" “Hush!” said Mrs. Milburn over her shoulder. “The neighbors will hear you.” He came back into the hall and stood there, teetering, with his hands in his pockets. His handsome bloodshot eyes fixed themselves on a framed sampler that hung on the wall just behind Emmy. It had been worked in cross-stitch by Grand- mother Pentland long ago in her girthood. It bore the date 1870 and this legend: “East, west, Home is best.” Mr. Milburn turned his larky gaze from it to his daughter Emmy. “'Home'” he quoted thickly. “‘Home is the place where, when you have to go, they have to take you in.' " He started superbly toward the stairs, they swayed unsteadily for an instant, reaching blindly for something to take hold of. Mrs. Mil- burn, coming in from the porch, POOR PA BY CLAUDE CALLAN “Never lot me hear you speak of your father that way again, Emmy."” seized him by the arm or he would have fallen. Supporting him with her small body, she led him toward the staircase. “Dizzy, Rosy,” he explained. “Sick —sick.” Emmy saw the look in her moth- er's eyes as she turned them upon her. Dismay and sorrow were in them—but love was in them, too. Love, that unbeatable thing. “And no wonder you're sick, out on a night like this without an over- coat!” she sald to him with & brusque tenderness. “I'm sure it's enough to give you your death of vold, Charlie Milburn!" “Emmy,"” she called a moment later from the head of the stairs, “heat some water right away and tring it up In the jug for your father; he's very sick.” The jug was an ordinary stone vinegar jug. Filled with hot water and wrapped in an old towel, it had done service as a hot-water bottle the Milburn family for many years. Emmy stood beside the stove, looking at it, as she waited for the water to boil. . She was doing some deep thinking. “We haven't even enough money for a rubber water bottle,” she said to herseclf, “and yet my father can ride around in taxicabs. 2 Her eyes went around the kitchen. They took in the candle burning on the shelf, the old-fashioned sad- irons on the back of the cracked stove, the cheap tin dishpan hanging on the wall, the rag rugs on the well-scrubbed floor. “Why, we haven't even the things that Mrs. Brainard has!” she thought rebelliously: “oilcloth and electric lights and such things! And Mother and me wearing Marianna’s old clothes—Why is it>" On the top of the newel post at the foot of the stairs lay the change from the fifty-dollar bill. Mrs. Mil- burn had flung it there in her haste when she helped her husband up the steps to his bedroom. Emmy set the jug down on the floor without making a sound. She counted the money. It did not take her long to do it, for there were just four ten-dollar bills folded to- gether. Ten dollars had gone to pay the taxt fare. . . . Ten dollars! Emmy closed her hand over the money .and went on up to the sec- ond floor. Her mother was just of Dan’s room, please.” Emmy opened her hand and held the four bills out to her on its palm. “Here's your change,” she said with bitterness. “My father couldn’t even bring you a birthday present, but he could spend Grand- mother's on his taxicab. . . . Ten dollars! He ought to be ashamed of himself. I heard what Grandmother said about him this afternoon. Don't think that I didn't.” Mrs. Milburn's face flushed. “Nev- er let me hear you speak of your father that way again, Emmy,” she said. “He works all day six days a week, and if he wants to come home in cab on a bad night, I'm sure it's none of your affair.” “It's none of my affair that 1 have to wear out Marianna's old rags, elther, T suppose!” Emmy broke in passionately. “That I have to live in this dirty old coal-pit of a atreet! That we never go any- where or have anything like nice people!” All the rebellion and long- | ing of youth were in her words.| Bewildered, sensitive youth that wants, above all things, to be “nice people”—to have nothing to be| ashamed of—to be able to hold up ita head with the crowd. Mrs. Milburn's eyes took on that look of dismay and anxiety again. “'We can't all of us be rich, Emmy. Somebody's got 10 be poor in this world, just to keep things balanced, 1 suppose,” she said. “Be thankful that you've got your health and strength and a tair share of good looks.” 8he stopped short as a moaning sound came fromn the closed room behind her. Her face crumpled up like a faded rose. For a moment Emmy thought she was going to ery. But she did not. “Run downstairs and bring me that bottls of peppermint on the shelf under the Kkitchen clock,” she sald quickly. *“Your father is sick again. . . . I never knew him to have neuralgia any worse than he has it to-night! It's the cold air that did it, I suppose—" The bed- room dpor closed upon her words. “Neuralgia!"” said Emmy scorn- fully. But she said it to herself, go- ing slowly down the stairs. The light from the new lamp streamed out Into the hall. The grate fire crackled, its warmth bringing out the spicy fragrance of coming out of the big front bed- room, her finger at her lips. “Hush! He's aleeping!” she whis- pered as she took the jug. “Don’t make a sound—and close the door AUNT HET BY ROBERT QUILLEN ““A man don’'t want no ad- “My son Joe claims [ owe him a dollar because he spent his own money for that gasoline he used last night.” (Copyright. 1928, Publishers Syndicate) Real Estate Listings Welcomed.

All she could see were the cracks in the wall paper, the worn spots on the chaira, the amoky chimney of the oil lamp, the hot.water fau- cets that did not work, in the little kitchen. She leaned her asmooth young forehead against the shelf where the peppermint bottle stood, and began to cry like a child that wakes up from a happy dream to find the room dark. (TO BE CONTINUED) GIRL SCOUT NEWS Taking measurements henceforth will be an easy thing for Girl Scouts of Berlin, following a meeting held by Troop 4 of that community last evening. The girls spent the eve- ning in practice on this achlevement and, although it is not said whether or not they have arrived at a point where they can take the measure of a man, it is reported on good au- thority that they now are ready to measure almost anything else. The girls have measured the spread of their fingers :nd thelr length so as to make hand meas- urements in the future. In measur- ing tables, and others things the spread of the hand may not be suf- ficient 0 they also have added to the archives of the troop a complete record of the length of their arms and their spread. Map making and scout engneer- ing problems are not without their share of possible attention by Troop 4, s0 the girls also have recorded in the files of the troop the length of thelr footprints and .he length of their individual paces. Measuring the height of a tree by making use of the shadow and the above fundamestals, telling its exact height without the wuse et measuring implements is the next step in the course. Within the next two weeks they expect to go forth into the woods and take the meas- urements of the trees. Three girls in this troop last eve- ning passed their firebuilding test. Next week the troop will have a Hallowe’en party, which will com- bine a celebration of Founders' day as well. A Hallowe'en party for all the girls of St. John's the Divine par- ish will be given by Troop 7 of that church next Monday after- noon at 4 o'clock. Al girls 10 years of age or over, are invited.
