Time enough! Nothing mattered now but the memory of the scented night and the memory of Nick's tall figure bolding her close My dearest! My darling! It has taken much emotion to wring that from Nick And ha waa here under this same roof thinking of her! She would see him to-morrow! But there was where Judy was mistaken When she went downstairs the following morning It was to learn from Keegan the chauffeur that Nick had already left He had driven Carter to the airport early that morning Keegan explained Oh very early shortly after sunrise For a moment Judy stood staring at him frozen with the disappointment She waa not aware of her surroundings of Keegan standing there before her of Pon and Wing Lee his helper cleaning up the wild wreck of the rooms caused by last night's storm Nick gone Without a word The disappointment waa crushing Then a thought came making her heart throb wildly Nick had run because he did not dare remain near her Sba went up to Madam Carter's domain a littls later that day Madams' loved Nick too It was somehow like being with him to be with the old autocrat to-day The shrewd old eyes flashed to the girl's face and read there more than Judy guessed Madame'a heart sank This was serious! This would take managing! Her boy must not be hurt Thus Madame'a thoughts while she chatted smoothly of other and carefully avoided all reference to Nick But Amy had no such scruples Her eyes too were keen keen as her grandmother's and by no means so kind There wes a distressing scene at dinner a couple of days after this Said Amy with a little smearing laugh: one blessing about marrying Billy I'll get out of this house: I won't have to stand the humiliation of having my allowance doled out by Nick Carter each month! It would be worth marrying a Chinaman to get out from under thumb" Stan's face darkened aa It always did when any mention was made of his half-brother "The tightwad' He turned down that offer of Hayes and O'Connor for me to buy In the firm The chance of a lifetime gone for the sake of a little money "You'll have to get by on the In-test of the mimicked Amy In what was intended to be Nick's voice "I wont have you eating into your into the principal!" ex-my belief that T1 iETv there is no principal! I thoroughly betieve he's been speculating and lost the money That's why he's so tight about our not spending the principal! Mother I think you're an idiot not to have the thing Investigated!" "But what esn I do?" fluttered Mrs Carter "Your father's will You know we tried to break it" put in Amy why couldn't we! Because the judge was prejudiced why!" my belief" said Stan scowling "that Nick bribed the judge to decide in his favor Hot blood seething within Judy Her bands were clenched until the nails bit the palms She was shaken by the molten anger with in her: Cowards! Liars! Defiling Nick a thousand times too good for them! you think" her voice shook "thst all being rather contemptible! explained that the value of the estate Isn't what it used to be! All that land on the ocean shore and the railroad that failed And it costs more to livej nowadays And if you all dipped' Into the principal it would be gone In no time" She stopped with gasp They were looking at her with astonished displeasure Amy recovered first Spoke with false sweetness "Oh Well of course darling we all know you're very partial to Nick" (To Be Continued) NtTELBU PAD- Now'tottrour before way ADMNfcMMMINE CHECK UP jMCnCR4a FORYWlDAY- jviayijw HESTOIV PET HUNCH -she rsotrr Non SCOUMHCr THE TCfMN-ANSWEMNC AXJL THE AOS LOOKING FOR ROOM TO RENT 1-31 BOUND TO In FLYING TO FAME OTHERS! lM-TVte BOMB sir HoeOEIPlEO AA Gt-IM nojasLes 'fcTTM THE MADMAN FO- pqssessiOM OSTHESUe machine euMlANO A DOZEN HUWGCZV CROCODILES expectantly A'MMVTHE JLSI- FORLORN RIVER "Don't perjure your toul boy" Ke to your tether" "I wouldn't lie to you to sav erect with ashen Bps yEpsterdaus FORTY YEARS AGO A birthday party waa given Thursday night for Mrs J-Noon at her home at the corner of and Tuolumne streets Among those present were Misses Nannie Phillips Barker A Phipps Phipps Hattie Owen and Pearl AI-baugn Mesdames Owen A Phipps McDonald and Ada Donahoo Messrs Fred Shannon Fay Ashman Alvie Perry Walter McSwaln A Fore and Oscar Jackson Edward Upton has been appointed horticultural commissioner by the Fresno County supervisors to succeed George Roeding who resigned The board has ajso established the ninth judicial township to be composed of the Kinge-burg Kingston and Laton voting precincts Ramsey proprietor of the Stockton and Fresno business colleges Is visiting in Fresno for a few days on business 1 Le Blanc ie a candidate forj city marshal against Morgan the IncumbenL Stations on the Pollaeky and Fresno Railroad line over which one train operates dally are East Fresno Spur Las Palmas Eggers Spur 8pur Clovis and Gordon Rich Gray Is general 1 traffic manager and Goodman ia the general passenger agent Following are the new officers of Ponoma Council No 622 American Legion of Honor: Com mander 8 A Alexander vice commander Mrs Annie Hughes orator 8 Henry: secretary Cohen treasurer Mrs A Alexander guide Orman chaplain A Cummings warden Hughes aiid sentry Meyers TWENTY YEARS AGO A formal offer to the city of sixteen lota in block 115 back of the courthouse with frontages on and Mariposa streets ae a site for a public market has been made to the city trustees by Cureton who holds options on1 thegnroperty The price asked fa The following officers have been elected by the Clerks' Union No 170: President Berry vice president A Hamilton record-ng secretary Homer 8mlth and financial secretary George Swi-gart Permanent organization of the San Joaquin Valley Episcopal Preachers Association has been HAN APARTMENT Youvjl be yVE PAID A SON Bj ANN CHAPTER FIFTY-TWO On other noticed that new radiance on Judy face Amy passing through th ban to th kitchen to order Pon to serve more drink had seen Judy ascending the atairs with Nick When the girl returned to the crowd on th lower floor Am glided over to her her green chli ion dreee fluttering away from the long elegant line of her body Under the crlap flaxen wave of her hair her eye were hard like blM ice Judy! Flaying th game aren't you?" "What game Amy?" Judya grey-blue eye watchful Distrustful Amy laughed until every pointed little tooth glistened She was a little edged with the champagne ah had drunk Moreover her spite goaded her on Amy had never forgiven Judy for gaining Madame favor Now th girl was linked In her mind with her jealousy hatred of Nick "Oh stop playing th innocent country girl Judy! You know tricks none of us know! You're deep my child! Very deep always done you th credit of thinking that even though Mother and Vera persisted In being fooled" Th grey-blue eye were atormily dark Judy was breathing rapidly Next to Eunice Wilson ah disliked this slater of Stan above all Lock-wood "Just exactly what does that mean Amy?" Amy's high pitched laugh rang out insulting mirthless keep it up if you like But I must tell you how you've improved You were a washout In the early part of the evening but now you're wonderful! Cheeks flushed! Eyes bright! You took positively happy my child What can have happened to make you so happy? You usually go about th place like a wet smock!" Judy swallowed and felt her face go cold with anger 8h wanted to strike that mocking face She clenched her fists to hold them down at her side she said In a low voice which shook with anger "But you're drunk so I'm going to overlook It Only-stay out of my way do you hear!" Judy forced herself to walk by disregarding the taunting smile which she knew followed her into the other room The engagement party was couple of hours and many drinks ahead of where she had left it Couples dancing closely in the amber glow of the lamps Dart Towers hair mussed eyes vacant stumbling by supported by the arms of the girl he danced with The bridegroom-elect had faded from consciousness and was laid out on the cushioned window-seat of the morning room No one missed him Amy had come in and was dancing too closely with Richard Curtis whose blond wife was alseep in a corner of the chesterfield At the other end Stan at with Eunice Stan's black hair was rumpled Two bright spots of color burned on his cheek bonc He looked like a handsome and excited child Even as Judy entered ehe eaw him take a glass from Eunice's lips drink from it then crush his mouth tovi on the mouth of the girl fer a long moment And at the same time Judy saw the indistinct figure of Fred Wilson standing on the dark veranda outside the room watching them through the opened window Feverish and tiresome But up- atairs Kick Nlek hers in th house And Nick loved her She lay awake staring up wide eyed in the dark later thinking about It So far the simple fact wee enough She had thought of no complications None of the responsibilities it Involved Nick loved her That miraefe waa enough Enough to lie here in this room thinking about him Recalling that thrilling moment in the dark when hie eyes had plunged into her own To recall his voice: "You know that don't you Judy? Know I'm getting too fond of you A shiver of pure happiness went over her Oh ehe loved him! Not with the crazy headlong passion she had flung upon a young girl's romantic love which is dazzled by Its own glamour more than by the man himaelf This was a love for a deep glowing steady love beside which the other was a wlll-o'-the-wlsp goblin fire which dazzles but gives no warmth love Nick If he were disfigured and old and commonplace he could never be commonplace There was a fine simplicity about him which put him apart from other men She loved Nick for hie hie Instinctive his honesty Oh why try to analyze she loved him because he was Nick! Because he was her man Because ehe wanted to belong to him Lying there in the dark feeling THE GANG "Richard he taken up with gang Hie whole heart is wrapp up in their doings They have built a hut In one of the gardens and they carry all aorta of things to it for furnishings They don't seem to do anything once they get there All the fun seems to be in building and taking it apart lighting a fir that drive them out into the open with choking and team What ought we to do about it?" What did you do when he began cutting hie teeth? Made the best of it didn't you? You Tubbed his gums you gave him a ring to bite on supplied him with some cruets and changed his diet If things got too much for him end you the dentist took a hand The gang stage is all of a piece with the teething The boy is cutting the teeth of hie childhood on the gang Ha la preparing for a new etege of growtn which will follow shortly Tolerate the gang with kindly patience and step in only If you see things are going the wrong way The gang usually reflects the character of the boys themselves If they have been well brought up the gang la just a continuance of their rearing with soma high spots of originality the outcropping of unexpressed urge end yearnings they can scarcely explain even to themselves The fire is necessary That ia an old instinct Th fire ia th altar about which the tribe gather It brings them certain feelings of warmth and friendliness and nearness The smoke matter In the gang the symbol la more than the thing The whole thing la a symbol of lha stags of growth they are experiencing How can it be made work for their good?
