Shut within the doors of every home there is the warm and glow- ing story of & mother's inc.. par- ,able love. Mrs. Milburn 1.2 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 after her three children, | Emmy, cighteen; 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 Charlie, 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 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 attention to Robb Hollis, young mill worker, who is in love with Emmy. Emmy wants a “white collar” man and Robb wears work- ing colthes. 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 eve- | ning Charlie Milourn arrives home 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 ia foolish to put up with Mr. | Milburn. Her mother tells her never | to speak of her father that wav | again. Emmy is all the more de- termined to get away from Flower | street and its poverty. Over the pov- erty and discontent in the little yel- | low house broods a mother's love, | which transmutes the dingy home} on Flower street to a palace of love | and beauty. Emmy, the only daugh- | ter, is disappointed with her lur-‘ roundings, envious of her wealthy | relatives, eager to live her own life | in some finer place. Emmy is par-| . ticularly ashamed because she forced to wear the cast-off clothes | of her wealthy cousin, Marianna, who is her own age and lives with | I don't want them to sce you—| Grandmother Pentland. Emmy is provoked because Marfanna chooses | to bring her some clothes while she | is talking to Robb in the little gar- den spot back of the little yellow | house. In the darkness under the | big tree in the yard, Robb tellr Emmy again that he loves her Marianna invites Emmy to come to a party and sing and play for the guests. Emmy has a wonderful time at the party among the girls whom she admires 50 much. Robb has agreed to call for her after the par- . ty in his old roadster, the “‘struggle- buggy” he calls it. ‘L NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER IX It was only five minutes to six POOR PA BY CLAUDE CALLAN “Time certainly does fly.

It looked curi- ously shabby and out-of-date against the background of well-kept lawns and imposing houses across the road. And Robb, himself, was looking | his very worst—in Emmy's eyes, at | Ge least—that afternoon. He had come straight from the mill in a hurry, and he was wearing the cap, the blue shirt, the old working suit that Emmy hated to sce him in, ‘Step on the gas!—Let's get aws before anyone sees us!” she Plurted out to him before she knew spoke the door of the red swung open, and Lola Sinclair came down the walk between the two iron stags that stood on the front lawn, “Hurry — hurry!

It fol- lowed the curving line of the shore for a little way and then.climbed a hill. With many snorts and gur- glings and jerks, the struggle-buggy gallantly took the hill. At the top the road narrowed and became what the busy park police- men called “Lover's Lane.” Robb stopped his car there and shut off | the motor, Then, without a word, he turned in the seat and took Emmy in his arms. His face came down close to hers. His mouth brushed her check as she jerked her head away from him. “Don’t Rob She did not want to hurt him. There was nothing in her heart for him but an immerse tenderness that was half pity. . But wasn't this the best way of letting him know all the things she had been iguring out for her- self this afternoon? The only way? “What's the matter?” he asked again, his hands still clasped behind her neck, pressing into the warm flesh. “Don’t you—don't you want me to touch you any more, Emmy?" She shook her head, leaning far back into the corner of the seat. She put up her hands and wrenched his hands away from her. “No!" She let him have it. He sat, his hcad turned toward Lake Erie, rolled out below them and shining like a great piece of | silver-gray silk under the moon. He sat that way for a long time, with- out moving a muscle, while Emmy watched him. “But what about last Saturday?” he asked at last, as it he had been trying to piece the two night to- "rsn e 'M\ |GONNA BE |PRESIDENT! {I take you both to the station with gether—that one and this one. Her tenderness then, and her unyielding coldness now. “You teld me last Saturday night that you were my girl. 1 thought you meant that you were my girl. I thought you meant that you — loved me enough to marry me. You don’t, do you?" She told him with a terrible di- rectness. “I love you, but I don’t love you enough, 1 gueas, Robb, she said. “I've been thinking things over, and I've made up my mind that I don't love anybody enough to spend all my life on Flower street the way my mother has." He took what she aaid in silence, his eves fixed olindly on the lake and the far gray sky again. is to that, then!” was what he said finally. *I think I see what you mean, Emmy. . . . You can't stand me because I have grease on my hands and oil on my clothes. You want a white-collar man—and 1 may be one. But it will take time.” “No—no—I don’t want any man!® Emmy did not cry easily, but now, for no reason at all, she burst into tears. ow, what are you doin’ in here?” asked a gruff voice. A park policeman stuck his head into the car and glared terribly at them, “Turn on your lights, and move on! Don't you sce that sign over there —printed in plain United States for folks like you—‘No Parking on This Drive’! Now get along before me!” Robb started his struggle-buggy. It seemed to know that he waas in trouble, and it sped like a racing car all the way home, “Don’t be cross with me, Robb!" Emmy said when it came to a before the little yellow house. “I'm only eighteen anyway, and I haven't any business thinking about getting married for a long time.” She laid her hand on his. It was hard to steel her heart against him. He turned a face like white flint upon her. “Good-bye,” he said. She did not see him again for a long time, . . . Mrs. Milburn wouldn't hear of Emmy’s giving a party at the red- brick house on Prospect street, “Why should you invite your friends to your grandmother’s house when you've a home of your own?" she asked on S8unday morning when Emmy told her about Grandmother Fentland's offer. “You've always had the Friday Club here, and there's no reason on earth why it shouldn’t come Jere again. I'll make some patty shells and creamed sweet-breads and the almond-filling | cake, and decorate the table with red leaves or a Hallowe'en pump- kin, Everything will be very nice. Don't you worry." “But I've invited the girls to Grandmother's already!” Emmy wailed. “And this house is so little and awful. I'm ashamed of it!" “And I'm ashamed to hear you talk thot way about it!” Mra. Mil- burn told her with briskness. “It's a very good little house—I just wish we owned it. I surely do. , . . Your Uncle Bill Parks isn't well and he’s over seventy years old, and I can't help wondering what would happen to us if anything happened to him. Sometimes I think I'll go and ask him for a deed to it. I wonder if he'd give it to me.” Bhe went upstairs and Emmy heard her go across her room and into the big clothes closet that opened from it. To Mrs. Milburn that clothes clos- et was a sort of sanctuary. When things went wrong in the little yel- low house, she always disappeared into it, and Emmy knew that she prayed there — that she took her troubles to Bomeone in that close- wralled little place, as she never took them anywhere else, or to anybody else. “Ask, and it shall be given ye,” she often said to Emmy when FEmmy was filled with discontent- ment and unhappiness. But Emmy, at eighteen, did not have her mother's serene and houndless faith. “You've been pray- ing all your life,”” she would say doubtingly, “and what's it brought “Well, all right!

It should be ours.” . “I suppose she's up thers praying that Uncle Bill will give her the house before he dies” Emmy aaid to herself. S8he hoped from the depths of her discontented heart that he would not. They'd al be stuck right here in Flower stree forever and ever, if he.did! She stared gloomily through the back screen door at ‘the bright beauty of the day.

Border States But the east has no monopoly on the activities of these concluding weeks. Two other important locali- ties on the political map continue to recelve painstaking attention. One is the border group of atates, containing Kentucky, Tenneasee, Missouri and Oklahoma, with a to- tal of 53 electoral votes. The other is the farm group, containing the Minnesota, the Dakotas and Nebraska. The present week has seen such drawing cards as Charles E. Hughes, William E. Borah, Carter Glass, John W. Davis and James M. Cox exhibited by their respective parties in the border country. Next week the border is to hear Mr. Hoover, who will speak at Loulsville and 8t. Louis on his way west. He likewise will pass through the farm state of Nebraska, where Senator George Norris, newly enlisted as an out- spoken supporter of the democratic national ticket, is appearing to be- gin a speaking campaign for Smith, designed for the ears of the farm states generally. Three Chicf Issucs As In the beginning, prohibition, religion remain conspicuous among the issues about which spellbinders and voters are arguing, although they by no means (have the fleld to themselves. The republicans are bearing down heav- ily on the tarift and prosperity. The democrats are talking of oil, and attacking Dr. Work’s renewal of the Balk Creek contract with the Sin- clalr interests. Recently the ques- tion of water power also had shoul- dered its way to a new place of prominence. At New York Mr. Hoover de- clared the democratic proposals as to farm relief, prohibition and wa- terpower savored of ‘state social- ism.” Governor Smith replied at Boston that, as to waterways, Hoov- er merely was echoing a charge of soclalism first raised by the “power trust,” and that as to all three, the position .of the republicans was that of a reactionary party standing ' the way of progress. The- religious discussion continues to branch out into novel variations. Senator Glass, speaking of his fel- low-Virginian, Bishop Cannon, de- clared a “pope of Virginia” was trying to turn the Southern Metho- dist church into a republican poli- tical sect. Henry.J. Allen, publicity -| director for the republican national committee, charged that thousands of dollars are being spent to belittle the, Quaker religion of Herbert Hoover, ‘The open season for final predic- tions has arrived, and the country now has information on the high- est authority who will win the elec- tion.
