| “Quer.the poverty and discontent | ‘100 little yellow house broods a ’s love, which transmutes the | agy Home to a palace of love and . - Emmy, the only daughter, §s disappointed with her surround- fngs, envious of her wealthy rela- tives, eager to leave. There is quiet, | Sard-working Robb, who Joves her, but who represent to her only a| moneyless, boring future. She de- | tides to get away from dingy Flow- er street and live her own life, in a | lttle apartment of her own, where | she can entertain as she likes. Mrs. | Milburn, after a talk with her hus- band, decides to ask Uncle Bill Parks, who owns the house, if he | Wil give it to them, since they have Pald rent for twenty-five years. Un- lle Bill says to wait until he feels weod enough to get down town to his office. He will then decide. Mrs. Mijburn discovers her husband has taken Dan, the son, about fourtcen year old, to a pool room. Emmy decides to give a luncheon for some rl friends at the little vellow ouse. Her father promised to pay for an extra woman to serve, but he #8id not come home all night. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XV He did not come home until the hext afternoon. He came at 2 o'clock when Em- my's friends sat at the luncheon table-exclaiming politely over the almond-filling cake that Mrs. Gross- man was passing around. - “Did you ever taste anything halr o good? Al this gorgeous gooey statf!™ cried little Lovey Sinclalr, popping a large piece of it into her wmouth ~~Emmy’s heart swelled with pride. .. What a wonderful job her Mother had done after all, just as ghe had promised she would! The food waa delicious, the centerpiece of leaves and chestnuts around the pumpkin was just as pretty as it could be. Through the sitting-r-om door she could see the little card | tables all in readiness. “Mother made the cake, Lovey,” she said. “Grandmother's old cook, Euem. gave her the recipe—" Her tralled off into mothingness. Her eyes became fixed and staring. In the doorway that led from the hall staod Mr. Milburn, He was dressed just as he had been the oight before, oaly he looked as if he had 'slept in his clothes. His face was unshaven and his hat was #n the side of his head. He smiled @ncertainly but broadly at the girls Who sat'at his table, ‘Waves of shame swept over Em- as _she saw them lift their heads look at him. 8he couldn’t move & muscle. S8he just sat in her plac2 like some figure carved out et tarble. In the hall the clock struck the hour’of two. And, as if the sound ; of it brought her to life once more, Emmy jumped up from the table. Bhe went to her father and drew him with her into the shadows of the narrow hall. “Please go upstairs!” she whis- pered In agony. “Please—please—" He gave her a grieved and wounded look. “All right,” he sald loudly. I right, if you're ashamed ot your dad. Here's the money I bromised you for Mrs. Grossman, theugh, and = box of candy for your fne friends.”” He hapded her a small Sbitha box. Bhe' could tell that it was filled with peanut brittle by the smell that rose from it. “Thanks! Now do go upstairs— Please.” He was as solemn as an egg now, and with an enormous dignity he turned away from her and went up e #tairs. A moment later there came the sound of a heavy fall in the room above the dining room and the quick patter of Mrs. Milburn's feet on the steps. She was seen no more that afternoon. Bomehow or other the time wore amgy, The girl played bridge, but tere was very little chatter. All {the: galety of the luncheon table Was gone. At four o'clock Cassie rd #1d she had to go — some- body or other was giving her a tea “I never was so ashamed in my life!” at the Buchanan Country Club. The 8he smelled of arnica. others all got up to go, too, and Emmy didn't care. She ran ahead of them when they went upstairs for their expensive perfumed wraps, for their beaded bags, their vanity cases. She want- ed to be sure that the door of her father's room was closed. Marianna lingered for a few min- utes. She was sitting before the grate fire when Emmy came back after speeding the parting guegts. “I never was so ashamed in my life!” she said painting her mouth with a little perfumed lipstick. “He's my uncle, and they all know it Emmy nodded, her sick eyes go- ing around the room that Mrs. Mil- burn had tried to make so festive and so bright. “I'm going to get out of all this, Marianna.” “I don’t blame you.” Marianna stood up, her hands deep in the pockets of a new leopard-skin coat. “Jiminy, Babe, you surely are out of luck, aren't you?" “I never had any luck to start with,” Emmy said with a hard little laugh. “But—I'm going to get out of this. You watch me!" Marianna was gazing out of the window. “Here comes your boy friend!"” she said, all excitement suddenly. “I'm going to go out and make a ten-strike with him!” Her black eyes flashed mischief and the laughed as she rushed out into the cold afternoon air. * Robb was on his way up the street from the mill. He had on the working clothes that Emmy de- spised, but they could not hide his male grace and downright good looks. Marianna waited for him, stand- ing beside her automobile. Emmy, watching from behind the curtains, saw her lips move as she spoke to him. She was extravagantly pretty today in her dashing new coat, ana a brown hat pulled down over her eyes like a jockey's cap. But Robb disnosed of her with a nod and a grin. He walked on up the street, and Marianna drove away toward home and “her own kind of people.” Mrs. Milburn came down stairs.

But he really meant to be kind, bringing you the money and the peanut brittle—" “Mother!” Emmy's tone was a warning. “If you try to tell me he has the neuralgia, I'll run right out of the house. I will! I've stood all I can stand today. Mrs. Milburn shook her head sad- ly. “He get's worse instead of bet- ter,” she said with a breaking voice, ‘That night Uncle Bill Parks died. He died very suddenly, just when the doctor thought he was getting over his influenza and would soon be out of bed. He died, leaving behind him all the things that he had fought for and cheated for and slaved for; the tall Parks building, the big apart- ment in town, the house with the stone lions, the shining white laynch and Flower street. “I suppose he's left everything to young Bill,” sald Me. Milburp, read- ing about his death in the next morning's newspaper. Young Bill was Uncle Bill's only son, and he was never at home. He was always somewhere at the ends of the earth, and if he had not had a great deal of money people would have called him a tramp. For that is what he was, As it was, they called him a “globe trotter.” “I don’t know what you're crying bout, Rosy,” Mr. Milburn went on, lifting his scalding coffee to his lips. “He never did anything for you. The very least thing he could have done was to have given you this house and lot.” Emmy’s mother patted her wet eyes. “He was my mother's brother, Charlie,” she said. “When I was a little girl he used to take me for drives in his carriage. He gave me that big wax doll that's up in the e R NS oy TR L attic. . . . He was a good man in his own way.” “Nonsense!” Charlie Milburn's voice was brusque. “He waa an old skinflint, Rosy! Face the facts!” | For a second Emmy wondered what would happen in the family it her mother ever did stop and facc all the facts of her life—if she tool off her rose-colored spectacles and began to look at things as they really were. It came to her that he) mother wore those rose-colored | spectacles because she was afraid tc [see. . . .

It does include, however, most of the states in which the minimum claims of the more modest of 8mith and Hoover partisans come into violent conflict in the east, some democrats would claim not only the three states named but would add also New Hampshire, Connecticut, Del ware and New Jersey. Claims Southern States In the south, some republicans arc stoutly claiming North Carolina, FFlorida, Alabama, Virginia and Texas. There is a similar situation |in every section of the country and for the first time since present party | allgnments came into existence a | compilation of the more optimistic of republican and democratic claims would involve almost every ~tate in the Union, Not that conflicting pre-election claims are, in themselves, anything new; the novelty this year is in the | particularly wide range of the con- |fiict, and the extraordinary reasons | which underline it. Even in normal {times, political leaders receive over- enthusiastic reports now and then for zealous party workers and are misled into predictions which after- ward appear foolish. Not many years ago a presidential nominee re- ceived a telegram on the day beforo the election from a trusted and ex- perienced politician saying his state 1\.ould return a favorable majority of more than 100,000. It actually went .averwhelmingly the other way. { There is an added reason why some politicians habitually over jclaim, It has its explanation in th {old maxim that in every contest con fidence is half the battl, and it find its practical application to politic Ir. the fact that there are voters wh i want to be on the si” of the winne for practical reasons. A wise stu dent of politics once said that in cvery election thiere are three partier —the repubiican pnrty, the emo- cratic party and the bandwagon party.
