LIEHT JUR] 2 8 Gntie Over the poverty and discontent in the little yellow house broods a mother's love, which transmutes the dingy home to a palace of love and beauty. Emmy, the only daughter, is disappointed with her surroundings, envious of her wealthy relatives, eager to leave. There is quiet, hard- working Robb, who loves her, but who represents to her only a money- less, boring furture. She decides to | get away from dingy Flower street | and live her own life, in a little | apartment of her own, where she | can entertain as she likes. Mra. Mil- | burn, after a talk with her husband, decides to ask Uncle Bill Parks, who | owns the house, it he will give it to | them, since they have paid rent for} 25 years. Uncle Bill says to wait until | he feels good enough to get down ! town to his office. He will then de- | eide. Mra. Milburn discovers her | husband has taken Dan, the son, about 14 years old, to a pool room. | (NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY) ’ CHAPTER XIV “Oh, I do think so!" Mrs. Mil- burn’s voice was hurried and full of | apology. “I'm not saying a word about you, Charlie. I'm only asking you not to take Dan into pool rooms | and such places, especially on Sun- days. He seems 80 young- “He's nearly seventeen, interrupted her. “You leave him to me. I'll look after him. He's a Mil- burn all the way through, that kid. He's got red blood in him. . . You can just bet you'll never be able to put him into art school and stick a draw pencil into his lily-white ‘han Perry had gone to art school for & term, and his father never had got over it. He said no red- blooded man would ever be an artist. “I don't want him to go to art school, Charlie,” Mrs. Milburn's voice came, clear and low. “I just want him to grow up to be—decent. That's all” | Silence after that. Then Mr. Mil- burn’s voice once more: “You'd bet- ter take that lamp downstairs and fill it, Rosy. There's not much oil in it, and I may wake up and want to read.” | He often read at night. Detective | stories and stories of the western plains in the romantic old days. Btories of “red-blooded” men. Dan read them, too—when he read any- thing. Mrs. Milburn began to get the house in readiness for Emmy’s party & full week before the first Saturday | in November, She gave the stairs a fresh coat of | white paint. 8he washed every cur- tain in the house. She pasted a piece | of heavy paper over the place where | the colored window on the stairs was broken; and with water colors she painted it the pale pink of the glass ftself. From her old brown “treas- ure” trunk in the attic, she brought a Spanish shawl of rich crimson silk and draped it over one end of | the piano in the sitting room. | On Friday afternoon at half-past | five Emmy walked into the house to | find her all dressed to go out. “Robb's going to drive me out be- yond Center d for some red leaves, if there are any left,” she sald. “And even if there aren’t, there are sure to be some brown oak leaves and some chestnut burrs. They'll look all right with that pumpkin.” She had bought a pumpkin from Leo, the vegetable man, and turned | it into & jack-o'-lantern for the cen- ter of Emmy’s lunch table. “You watch the supper,” she add- ed, as the struggle-buggy's horn sounded from the street, “and it I'm not home by a quarter to seven, put | it on the table. That is, if your father’s here—" 8he hurried out into the brown dusk. Mr. Milburn came home at half- | past six, with Perry. The chances ‘were that if he did not come with Perry, he would not be home much | before ten or eleven. Mrs. Milburn's | last words to her son every morning when he left the house were: “Try | to bring your father home with you tonight.” There seemed to be some sort of secret understanding between POOR PA BY CLAUDF CALLAN “Our son Jim gave Ma an’ me so little trouble when he was growing up that we don’t seem to care as much for him as we do for the other children.” (Copyright, 1928, Funlimers Sindicate) Several Industrial Sites For Sale. i il “] wish your father them. Tonight Mr. Milburn was very good-natured, very charming, quite the head of a family. “Well, Mother certainly has the old place spick-and-span for the party, hasn't she?” he called out to Emmy from his arm chair in the sit- ting room. “She's a great one, Em- my! You can't beat her.” “She’'s a wonder,” agreed Emmy, glancing in at him from the dining room where she was setting the table by the light of the Dying Gladiator. He was very good looking in his immaculate white collar, with his red hair brushed straight back from a high square forehead. When he was like this it was perfectly easy to see why Mrs. Milburn had been at- tracted to him years before and counted the Pentland riches well lost for love of him. “So you're entertaining the upper crust tomorrow, Emmy,” he was saying now with just a hint of sar- casm in his voice. *“All the high- rolling swells, eh?" “No. Just the little old Friday club,” Emmy told him. Bhe came and stood before him.'thought, but by the time she reached | “But, Father, I do want this party the front door his car had backed ! to come off well! Would you let me go down the street and ask Mrs. burn was standing on the porch, her | Grossman to come and serve, 80 Mother and I won't have to wait on table? There are going to be 12 to look after, anyway, and there should be an extra person to help. Would you?” Mrs. Grossman cooked and served luncheons and dinners for a living. “Why, sure! Sure—go and ask her!” He picked up his paper and began to read. “But I ought to have four dollars. That's what she charges,”” Emmy sald, without moving a step. “All right. Your mother will give it to you,” he answered easily, still hiding behind his paper. “I'm afraid she won't. 8he hasn't it,” Emmy said. “You sce, Grand- mother gave me ten dollars for this party, and it's all gone. We had to buy chickens and cream and some almonds and three decks of cards and a prize and “Emmy! Emmy! Don’t bother me with these things of yours! I've troubles of my own!" He was exas- perated now. He rattled his paper. “Well, I hate to sce Mother wait- ing on table when those girls are here! I hate to do it myself! They're used to maids.

He all but shouted at her. “Go down and tell Mra. Grossman to come up when you want her. I'll bring you the money to- morrow. I haven't it now."” At seven o'clock Emmy put sup- per on the table for him and the two boys. “I'll wait for Mother,” she | said. | At half-past seven Mr. Milburn sighed, stretched, and got up from his chair. “Well, I think I'll go down. town for a little while,” he an- nounced. “The boys are having a little blowout for Jed Wiegand, He's going up to Detroit to sell automo- biles. . . . You haven’t three dollars, have you, Perry?” | Without a word Perry put his hand in his pocket and shoved them across the table. At five minutes to eight Robb brought Mrs. Milburn home. Emmy heard his voice, outside in the dark- ness, and for an instant something seemed to close around her heart, | suffocating her. She caught her | breath keenly, “Oh—I1 want to see him!" she out of the driveway and Mrs. Mil- .arms full of dry golden-brown leaves. | “I asked Robb to come in and have a bite with me, but he was in a hurry,” she said. “Where's your father? Didn't he come home?"” “Yes. But he's gone out again. He | was going to a smoker for somebody llmmvd Wiegand. He told me I could g0 ahead and ask Mrs. Grossman to help us tomorrow,” Emmy said, full of her own affairs. Mrs. Milburn looked pleased. She was always pleased when Mr. Mil- burn did anything for his children. “Did he give you the money for her?" “No. He's going to bring it home with him tomorrow." “Oh!" It was a flat little sound. ‘That night Emmy and her mother |did not go to bed until 12 o'clock.

I worry about him.” A church clock, somewhere across the roofs, was striking midnight. It had a melancholy, ominous sound. “I wish he would come home,” she | said again.

Boston, Nov. 2 UP—With a disa-' greement over the program of his lappearance here having been smoothed out, Senator William E. Borah tonight will deliver the prin- ! cipal address at a large Hoover-Cur- itis rally which has been planned by | { Massachusetts republican leaders as a climax to the campaign. The pro- gram by the local party leaders call- ed for a lengthy address by the Ida- ho senator over a national radio broadcasting system at 10:30 o'clock, and Mr. Borah objected to the de- livery of a speech at that late hour. At first he apparently was unwilling to make any speech, but later ac-' ceded to the program, although he said he would not make a long ad- dress, speaking only “15 or 20 min- ute The rally will consist of a huge torchlight parade featured by the presence of a large delegation of Hoover women supporters, and then the assembly in the Boston Arena of {the demonstrations participants to ' listen to the radio reproduction of the St. Louis speech of Herbert Hoo- ver.

ALLEN ATTACKS DENOCRATIC PARTY Says It Sinks to “Sewers of New Yort” Washington, Nov. 3 UP— Asserting that “the Tammany campaign in its closing hours has sunk from the sidewatks to the sewers of New York,” Henry J. Allen, director of republican publicity, has accused Chairman John J. Raskob, and the democratic national committee of “manufacturing evidence” to sup- port the charge that attacks on Gov- ernor Alfred E. 8mith because of his religion may be traced to re- publican campaign officials. A Frame-Up In a statement issued for publica- tion today, Allen denounced as a sus- pected “frame-up” the set of docu- ments made piblic by Raskob as part of an open letter to Chairman Work of the republican national committee, which the democratic leader declared proved that his claims were true. Moreover, Allen charged Raskob with “an obvious effort to make the widest use of bigotry in his own campaign while denouncing its pre- tended presence in the republican campaign.” He declared too, that Raskob had given tacit approval to attacks on Herbert Hoover because of his Quaker faith. Denies Affidavits Referring to the documents made public by Raskob Allen said that all the affidavits they contained were made on the same day and that one man had denied making an nfidavit which Raskob had attributed to him. These considerations, Allen added arouse “the suspicion that the whole case is a ‘frame-up’” He charac- terized as “a mere mask to hide his own mud-guns” Raskob's early ap- peal for a clean campaign. “All efforts to link the republican party with the religious {ssue hav- ing failed because of the refusal of the republican party to countenance the appeal to bigotry,” Allen said, “the committee of Raskob has de- liberately descended to the Tam- many trick of manufacturing evi- USED CARS Look Over The New Location 250 ARCH STREET PAIGE “6-72," 1926 BSedan, re- finished, latest 4 wheel brakes, balloon tires. $625 including slip covers.
