$7,500 Damage Suit After Auto Accident Near A damage suit has been filed in the Bates county circuit court ini which Bessie Black is plaintiff and Charley Stevenson is named as de- fendant, says the Butler Democrat.

WNU Service. WHEN Richard first heard the girl sobbing he didnt quite know whether to leave her alone, or make an attempt to comfort her. She was seated on a marble bench behind some bushes. The reflection of lights from the huge living room of the Ballardstow mansion was only faint here, but a full moon illuminated the bench in a sort of enchanted glow. Richard was quite sure that the girl had neither seen nor heard his approach.

He had been walking along the pebble drive that wound eventually up before the mansions front entrance, when the girls soft sobbing attracted his attention. It was such a heart-rending sound that Richard finally decided to be as gallant as possible. He threw away his cigarette and rounded the lilac bushes. The girl looked up as his silhouette cut across the moonbeams, and seemed to start as if In fear. Im sorry, Richard applogized.

I heard you sobbing and wondered if there was anything I could do. Finally the girl looked up. Im sorry, she began brokenly. Its so silly. She stared at him, as if wondering how he would take her next remark.

Then: Im so lonesome. Richard an hed his brows. Lonesome! Why, thats a bit of a shock. A pretty girl like you. Lonesome 1 He made as if to sit down, and the girl moved to give him room.

Im not the best companion in the world, Richard smiled. But I might do In a pinch. Anyone will do just now, the girl said, and Richard ran a finger around the inside of his collar and looked at her sidewise. Im Sylvia Ballardstow, she went on. Indeed, said Richard.

I believe this party or that party (he jerked a thumb over his shoulder) is being held in your honor? Thats exactly what the trouble is, Sylvia sobbed. Father is announcing my engagement tonight to a man I dont love. The tears came again and Richard waited patiently. Really, he said. That is a predicament.

And an old chestnut at that You're quite sure you dont love your er this man? Oh, I'm sure that I dont. You see, he's the son of a boyhood friend of fathers, and father insists that I marry him. Its most upsetting. I've never seen the man, but I know I shall detest him." You seem emphatic enough, Richard agreed. Have you any particular cause for such a conscientious dislike? Only that his father my fathers friend is a staid and stuffy old person, and his son cannot be much different.

Besides, it isnt fair to ask a girl to marry a man shes never seen. I can heartily sympathize with you on that angle, said Richard moodily. You see, Im confronted by more or less the same proposition myself. Really, said Sylvia. Does your father insist that you marry a daughter of an old friend of his? How extremely coincidental! He wants me to, Richard said gloomily.

But, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint the old gentleman for once. Fortunately, we men are more apt to assert ourselves in such matters than you girls. Sylvias eyes were wide with interest. "And havent you ever seen your er this girl? Don't you love her? I'm not sure about that last question, said Richard dreamily. But I'm quite positive shes more or less of a frivolous old hen, if youll pardon my saying so.

You see her mother has a good deal of temper and waist line. I really dont see how the daughter can be much different. For one long moment they looked at each other. And then quite abruptly Richard thrust out his hand. I guess were even, he smiled.

Shall we call it quits? Sylvia rested her hand lightly in his and burst into a peal of laughter. Were even, she said. And its quits. Richard got to his feet and bowed low. May I have the honor of escorting the prospective bride to the reception hall? You may indeed, Sylvia replied gayly.

Im more than anxious to see what the prospective groom looks like under the bright lights. Braille System Old The Braille system of printing for the blind, raised dots used as symbols to designate the letters of the alphabet, has been in almost Worldwide use for virtually two generations. Yet, says Colliers Weekly, not more than 25 out of every 100 blind persons, even in the United States, are able to read it.

Wallace Berry plays one of Lis most human roles in the new Metro-Gold wyn-Maver story, Old Hutch, the Tark Theatre's attraction Sunday and Monday. The story will be remembered from its original appearance In The Saturday Evening Post The author was Garret Smith.

The narrative is an account of the highly amusing adventures of the laziest man in town, following his dis covery of $100,000 in thousand dollar bills. Beery, in the title role, is at his best. Obviomdy, Old Hutch Is unable to cash any of the bills. For him to exhibit money in such denominations would be madness. Accordingly, he goes to work in order to impress his fellow townspeople, hoping that it will appear more possible to cash a thousand dollar bill later.

Meanwhile, the bandits who originally bid the money, rediscover ii in the old cache where Old Hutch left it. They virtually kidnap him and in the escape, he manages to wreck their car. The bandits are caught, of course, and the lovable old character receives the reward, which is enongh for his needs, even for luxuries. J. F.
