READ THIS FIRST 8hut within the doors of every - honie there is the warm and glow- ing story of a mother's incompar- able lovg, Mrs. Milburn had come to the tle 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 mneat and looked after her three children, Emmy, eighteen; Dan, thirteen, and Perry. twenty-one. While the little 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 Charli has arrived. Grandmother urges Mrs. Milburn to accept fifty doilars as a present from her to pay the long overdue rent, Grandmother takes the oppor- tunity of again scolding about the shiftlessness of Charlie Milburn. Mrs. Milburn finally takes the money. As Grandmother is leaving she asks Emmy to take her out to her car. Grandmother warns Emmy to pay no atteation to Robb Hollis, voung mill worker, who is in love with Emmy. Emmy wants a “white colla man and Robb wears work- ing clothes. In a moment of depres- sion, Emmy decides that she is not going to spend 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 Milbura arrives hgme -in a taxicab, He is intoxicated, as usual. but Mrs. Milburn always tells the children he is ill. 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. The taxi bill is ten dollars and Emmy tells her mother she is foolish to put up with to speak of her father that way again. Emmy is all the more deter- mined to get away from Flower street and its poverty. Over the po erty and discontent in the little yel- Jow house broods a mother’s love, which transmutes the dingy home on Flower street to s palace of love and beauty. Emmy the onlv daugh- ter, is disappointed with her sur- | roundings, envious of her wealthy relatives, cager to live her own life in some finer place. Robb Hollis, young mill worker, is in love with her, but Emmy would prefer a “white collar” man. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER VII Emmy stoopad and picked up the dress box irom the grass where xhe had tossed it. She began to gather together some books and the mate- rial for a black satin hat that she had been trying to make when Marianna came. Roob stood, hands in pockets, watching her. “Well, are yon going to take Marianna for a drive?” ghe asled at last, trying to make her voice sound careless and off-hand. “1 am’ not.” Emmy only shrugged her shoul- ders. “Prop these chairs against the tree,” sl rald; “it's getting chilly. I'm going in. It was quite dark under the trafy droopirg branches of the sycamore POOR PA BY CLLAUDE CALLAN “Cousin Emma never ad- mits that she ain’t sick.

Her mother tells her never | {awkward, tree by this time. “Would you care if T did take| her?” Jiobb's voice came husky and vibrant from the soft gloom as he set the two old basket chairs against the tree. He came and stood beside Emmy. “Wor you care — or wouldn’t you The glowing end of his cigarett seemed only an inch from her face s she turned, trembling suddenly from head to feet, and tried to think of an answer for him. But she couldn’t think. The dark- ness scemed to have blotted 1 thought from her brain. She could | hear nothing but the blood hum- ming in her ears, and she could feel only the pulses hammering in her throat and temples. She swayed to- ward him ever such a little, know- ing for the first time the aching wish of a woman to have a man's arms around her—not just any man’'s arms—Robb's arms. Her hand touched his in the darkness under the old tree, Suddenly he threw away his garette. His mouth found lifted face, and he kissed her. arms went around her, holding her close to him. pressing her straight slender body against his own clean voung straightness, He kissed her again and again the reverent, honest kLisses of a man who is reverently and honestly in love with the one woman, “Emmy,” he sald to her, and his voice was hoarse and shaken, “you know I wouldn't do this if 1 didn’t love you. You know I love you, Fmmy."” She knew that he did. She nodded, her eyes wide and starry in the darkness. Beyond the drooping branches of the sycamore tree, the litile back- AUNT HET BY ROBERT QUILLEN “Would you care i f I did take her?” |vard sent up its flowery scents as the dew fell upon it. Never again, so long as she lived, was any place to give Emmy the sense 6f space and enchantment that the little gar- den gave to her that moonless night when its narrow limits seemed to stretch vaguely into mysterious, shadowy distances. And not only the garden, but the whole face of the world had changed for her in that moment. Life itself had be- come magie. “I love you, too, Robb,” she tried to say, her face against his. But she was shy of that word that meana so much. My girl? 11 yours.' “Always?' “Alway Afterward she remem- bered how she said that, as if it were a VOw, a promise not to be broken. “Emmy! Emmy!" called a man's voice. Mr. Milburn had come out of the back door of the house and was standing in the very center of the enchanted garden. His white shirt glimmering through the thick dark- ness. X Emmy gave a violent start. Her arms slackened and slipped from Robb's shoulders. 8he pushed him from her. She pushed aside the drooping houghs of the tree and ran to her father. “Here T am. What do you want me for?" she asked him breathless- 1y. All mine,” She could say that. “Y waht you to go down to the drug store and telephone for a taxl- cab,”” he said. “I've got to go out for a while, Tell them to hurry up —a yellow cab, you know.” He went into the house and Emmy flew back to Robb who was still standing under the sycamore. “Want to walk down to the cor- ner with me?" she said to him in an ordinary voice. The moment of magic and wild, eager happiness was over. The back- vard was just the little backyard to Emmy again. Flower street was just Flower street, squalid and ugly as ever—and she was walking down it with Robb to call a taxicab for her father, who evidently had Saturday night plans of his own. On Friday afternoon at ten min- “I would of enjoyed the sermon, but I couldn’t hardly keep from gettin’ up an tend- in’ to that Allen child's nose.” (Copyright. 1928, Publishers Syndicate) COMMERCIAL COMPANY INSURANCE REAL ESTATE Commercial Teust y Tel. 600% We have among our real estate listings a coziest, homiest five room bunzalow located in Belvidere.

JUST KIDS TH cou utes before five, Emmy walked up the wide stone steps of the old Pentland house on Prospect street. Matthew, who had worked for her grandmother for more years than 'Emmy had been alive, opened the door for her, his teeth shining in a broad smile of welcome. “I'll go right upstairs, Matthew,” Emmy told him, to M Mari- anna's roem.” From behind the drawn curtains in a doorway on the left-hand side of the hall came the fall and rise of chatter and the tinkle of cups and saucers. There was a great bowl of roses on the marble-topped table near the empty fireplace. Upon the landing of the stalrcase étood a tall mirror with a gold-leaf frame. ‘There was dark red velvet carpet on the stairs. Grandmother Pentland’s house was very old-fashioned, very impos- ing, and very gloomy. Whenever Emmy stepped into it she felt as if she had stepped straight into the page of Bleak House or Jane Eyre or David Copperfield. The only cheerful room in the whole place was Marianna's bed- room—a round tower room on the sunny side of the house. It was all rose-patterned chintz and {ivory- white furniture and real lace. There was a little table beside the hed for Marianna’s breakfast tray, The bed itself was a small sea of silk cushiona, Between the windows there was a powder table, loaded twith Marianna's perfumes, her lip- sticks, her specially -blended face powder, her jars of mascara, In the room beyond the velvet curtains eleven girls sitting around a big round lace- spread table, drinking tea, ecating sandwiches and smoking cigarettes. They all looked up as Emmy, in Marianna's red crepe dress, pushed aside the curtalns and came across the room toward them. Marianna drawn were to her, kissing her warmly. “Oh, you darling! You did come! she sald. “We were just giving you up. Sit here—" She made a place for her betweea herself and Lola Sinclair. Emmy smiled at all the familiar, friendly faces under dashing little hats pulled far down over close- shingled heads. Bhe felt very dowdy all at once in the oll red crepe and with her long hair braided around her head, “I'm sorry T was late, Marianna,” she said, “but you know I'm learn- ing to be & poor but honest working sirl.” “Oh, are you?" asked Lola 8in- clair, turning a little blond face with innocent blue, cyes upon her. “My goodness, nut T wish my “amily would let me be one! I'd like to know some new men. . . . By the way, is it your brother who works for Upstill and Unger?" Emmy nodded. “I met him the othed day,” T.ola's little silvery voice ran on. “Upstill and Unger do our-advertising, and he was up in our office. T was there, too, trying to drag some money out of my dad. It's like pulling teeth—"" £he aighed, pushing a cigarette hox and an ash tray half filled with rouge-stained stubs toward Emmy. “Have a fag? “No, thanks.” head. “Well, your brother is certainly a hot zizzer—He's a wow!" Mari- anna's group kept nup with the na- tion’s slang fairly well. “I'm just mad about him.’ * “Yes, Lola, but you're always mad -about somebody. so that makes no- never-mind,” Marlanna told her blightingly. *“If you really want to see somebody, though, you want to see Emmy's hoy friend—" Emmy pushed back her chair and stood up. “What do you want me to sing—'Twickenham Ferry'?” She walked aver to the grand piano that sprawled, like some black dragon on its haunches, at one end of the big, luxurious, gloomy room. “Oh, no, none of those old love- tick wheezes, please!” smang out Cansie Sears. “Give us s=omething with a little pep! Pep’s what we want!” The great god.
