et § R READ THIS FIRST: 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 surround- ings, envious of her wealthy rela- tives, eager to try her wings. She goes to work at her first job. And there a new man, Wells Harbison, | enters her life, very different from quiet, hard-working Robb, who loves her, but who represents to her only a moneyless, boring future. 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. | NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXXI Mrs. Milburn came up the stairs. Her eyes were red and she was pat- ting them with her handkerchief. She looked down at the straw sultcase. Then she knelt down and began to take out some of the neatly folded stockings that Emmy had just put into it. “My dear child, eight pairs of stockings!” ehe said practically. “And four princess slips—Why, Emmy, you're going to be gone only two nights. A change of underthings and a nightie are all vou need. Get that little brown bag from my clothes closet. I'll pack it for you.” Emmy scrambled to her feet and drew a decp breath. With her hands behind her back, and a thick lock of golden hair fallen over oue eye, she faced her mother, looking very young and very resolute and very, very frightened, now that her mo- ment was upon her. “I'm not coming back!" she said breathlessly. “What are you talking about?" asked her mother, getting to her own feet. “What nonsense is this, Emmy Milburn?" “I'm not coming back, I say. I've taken a flat of my own'" Emmy said, still breathlessly. She could feel her heart plunge in her breast. This was worse than she had expected it would be. “A flat—?" “Of my own!” Emmy finished the sentence for her mother. “I've rent- ed it and I'm going to move in on Monday morning when I leave| Grandmother’s house. I'm going to| lead my own life, and nobody's go- ing to stop me! You just jangle ! up by talking to me. My mind’s made up and that's all there | is to it.” Mrs. Milburn did not answer her. She just stood in the middle of the little white room with her eyes growing wider and wider in her face | that was like & fading pink rose. Her hands, discolored by the grime of months and months of furnace- | tending, twisted in the folds of her starched white apron. In the stillness the sound of the alarm clock ticking away the min- utes was like hammer strokes. “If she'd only say something,” thought Emmy, “or cry.” She hadn’t expected her mother to be pathetic you don't need [ittle Yetlow House “I'm not coming back!" from Mrs. Milburn sud- . “Emmy, this is the time you need your mother. So many men in the world—so many men who aren't good men, Emmy, I can't let you g0, I'd do anything before I'd let you go.” For some mysterious reason a vision of Wells Harbison flashed through Emmy's brain. His eyes, and the'way he had looked at her. “I'm going.,” she sald. “I never can have any friends in Flower street. I never can bring anyone here—anyone 1 want to know. Re- member what happened to the Fri- day Club the day they came?"’ She never would forget that, she told herself. She never would for- get the things that Jim Baldwin had sald to her the day he had met her down town and told her why, he had lied to her about his name. Oh, no! had left a scar on her for ever. She never would forget them, no matter how high she rose above Flower street! And she was going to rise! Let anyone try to stop her, now! Mrs. Milburn turned and went out like this. She had expected her toof the room. storm and argue—to lay down the law. “I've got jo get away, Mother. Can't you see? 'she appealed to her. “I can’t ask anybody here. Not even the people from the office. I can't have any friends — and I want friends, T want friends. I want some fun. I've never had any—you know it, Mother! Why, just look at this place!” ‘With one’ hand she swept aside the sash curtains that hung like frilled white petticoats in the win- dow. Outside Flower street was gray and black in the rain—the colors of poverty and desolation and sad- ness. The McMylers, small and dirty and neglected, danced about in their outlandish winter garments. Mrs. Brainard, looking like some character gut of a London slum, came slip-slopping down the street with a half-bushel basket of poia- toes In her hand. The yellow feet of a chicken protruded from a bag un- der her arm. “It's selfish of you to try to keep me here!” Emmy cried. “Selfish— welfish! You have to stay. You've done for you f, but I haven't. And won't stay! I tell you T won't.” She began to cry wildly and to throw the eight pairs of stoc..ings back into the straw case. “SelMsh 7" Mrs. Milburn's volee came at last. “Selfish, Emmy? Emmy, I'd lay my life down for you children—" “T don't want you to lay your ltfe down for me!” Emmy was hys- terfeal now. “I just want you to { mill. Three blocks away Emmy heard her cross the bare painted floor of :he hall, heard her go into her own room at the front of the house and shut its door be- hind her. “She’s going to pray.” Emmy knew that. “She’s going to ask God to keep me here. But if she knew what was right for me, she'd ask Him to let me go!"” Grandmother Pentland's voice came up the stairway: “What's hap- pened up there? Are you all dead —or what?" Then there came the sound of Mrs. Milburn's door opening. She stood on the threshold of Emmy's room for a moment, and over the withering roses of her face had come a change—the calm bright look that she always brought with her from the sanctuary of the clothes closet with its tiny window that faced the east. Emmy knew that look. “You wait her a minute, Emmy.” she said, and then as if she were re- peating a message from someone: “This is going to be—all right.” She went down the stairs that she | had covered with so many coats of white paint . . . the wooden hilL She was gone many minutes. The carly dusk came down through the rain, and lights quivered like fire- flies in the windows of the woolen came the rumble of the New York flier on its way to the coast. The voice of the McMylers' moth- er wailed through the storm: “Chil- dren! Get in here! Get in here, Neddy Those were things that, or I'll warm your pants fur As she reached the landing, Mrs. Milburn started up. “Go back to your room, I want to talk to you,” she said, and Emmy dragged Rer luggage up the steps again. Her mother closed the door and stood with her frail shoulders press- ed against it. “I'm not going to lose you,” she said quickly. “We're all going to leave together! We're going to move into your grandmother's house as soon as we can get out of here.” Emmy dropped down on the bed behind her, thunderstruck. “You don't mean it! It can't be true!” she gasped. ‘That big house —oh, Mother, it's a miracle!"” “It's no miracle, Emmy,” sald Mrs. Milburn briskly. ** ‘Ask and it shall be given you. Knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Seek, and ye shall find.’ I've said that to you before, Emmy.” She went down the stairs.

Two Disputes Mr. Hoover on his visit here will find only two boundary disputes in which Peru is involved. One is the Tacna-Arica dispute with Chile and the other is the boundary controver- sy with Ecuador. In view of the fact that President Coolidge acted as ar- bitrator in the Tacna-Arica dispute recently recognized the administra- tion of President Ayora of Ecuador, it is natural that the Peruvian states- men will be anxious to explain their country's viewpoint in these ques- tions. ! The Tacna-Arica dispute is now the subject of direct between the two countries involved, and, although there are now no ne- gotiations taking place between Peru and Ecuador on their contro- versy, diplomatic relations exist be- | tween the two countries and would provide the means for negotiations 'looking toward an amicable settle- ,family ash heap and finding substi- | {tutes for water for making steam were among the subjects presented today to the second conterence on bituminous coal at the Carnegie Institute of Technology. ,ment of the problem. ‘Want Settlement It is assumed here that some time during the Hoover administration, negotiations will be begun with Ecuador for a settlement of the dis- pute, with the possibility that one or both of the nations will ask the good offices of the United States in the matter. Likewise, it is believed that Mr. Hoover's visit to both Peru and Chile on his trip will increase the possibility of a friendly settlement of the Tacna-Arica dispute, GEORGE H.

Power Consumption to Jump Forecast of a tremendous jump In electric power consumption in ! which coal-made steam will hold it own against hydraulic power was made by A. R. 8mith of the Gen- eral Electric company, Schenectady. He sald the electric power consump- tion in the United States “is ap- proaching 100 billion kilowatt hours annually and it may reach 200 bil- lion early in the 40's if the present rate of increase continues.” Of this coal supplies two-thirds, and water power one-third, and Mr. Smith predicted that this ratio would hold. A new field for coal was an- nounced in a joint paper by Dr. Andre Kling and Daniel Florentin, respectively director of the munici- pal laboratory, Paris, France, and subdirector. The French chemists told of adding what is known as a catalyst to liquified coal in such a manner as to transform into com- mercizl products elements in coal not fully reached by other pro- cesses. Out of the phenol in coal they made “benzine toluene.” Other experiments produced gasolines and oils. “We believe,” their report said, “that our views open a very broad fleld of researches, interesting on the side of theoretical chemistry as well as applied chemistry and par- ticularly motor fuel chemistry.” BANK OF TNGLAND London, Nov. 22 UP)—The weekly statement of the Bank of England shows the following changes in pounds: Total reserve increased 160,000; circulation docreased 542, 000; bullion decreased 382,000; other securities decreased 4,703,000; public deposits decreased 645,000; | other deposits increased 55,000; notes reserve increase 320,000; gov- ernment securities increased 3,982, 000.
