Jlfi.uho Synopsis; At the invitation of her wealthy uncle, Richard Carruth, and his foster -daughter Lois, Katha Lodge heaves her New Hampshire ham- let for a month's visit in New York. Lois meets her at 'the train and on the way to the Careeths' Park Avenue penthouse warns her to call her aunt Evelyn, not Aunt Evelyn. Katha is interested of course in Kemp Loring as Lois had told her she'd better not look at Kemp twice or Evelyn's daughter Millicent would have her claws out. And Bill McMillan—she likes Lim. Her Uncle Richard arrives late in the afternoon and greets Ler sincerely. Millicent goes out with Kemp. Early next day Bill phones Katha, making a date for evening. Lois explains Evelyn's nervousness by saying she happen- ed upon Eric Carlton and Evelyn while he was kissing her. Lois confides that she loves Terry Reese a college student with little money whom she met while horseback rid- ing in the park. Bill takes Katha out for two evenings together. He !kisses her the second ;tight. She knows now she loves him. CHAPTER XV Katha awoke with a start. She had promised to go riding in the park with Lois but Lois had not called her. Late already, she lay (back against the satin -covered pil- lows and took a deep breath. Bill had gone to Asheville last night. Why had he gone? If he cared, he'd have stayed to be near her. If he had eared, he'd have been too jealous of Kemp to go away. But Bill wasn't jealous because he didn't care — enough. Katha thought, "And I care so much and always shall." Not long after she was riding 4n the park, looking for Lois. When she saw a ]eau, brown-eIad figure on a brown mare approaching her, she knew it was Tern' Reese. "Hello. You're Terry," she said. Terry grinned and took off his hat. "You're Katha, Lois' cousin." "I'ni looking for her. Have you seen her?" And when he said he had not, she said, "Well., let's look for her together." They rode side by side. At last Terry said, "You don't live here, do you?" Looking For Lois "No. I'ni from a little town in New Hampshire. Richard • Carruth - Its my mother's brother.' She smil• - ed at him. "Richard Carruth is a seltmade roan. Did yeti know that? And one' of the finest then in the world. Lois isn't his child. Did you know that?" He frowned. "She isn't ...." "They adopted her. Her father was a foreman in one of Uncle Richard's plants. He was killed when Lois was two, Her mother died shortly before that." "1 didn't know that," Terry said. "She didn't tell me." "You wouldn't let her tell you. You wouldn't let her tell you any- thing after she said she was Rich- ard Carruth's daughter. That scar- ed you away because you thought she was a social butterfly having a little romantic fling anci a little rr enentic fen ae eogr student's -r Deua3e, didn't yen, Terry? It isn't that way at all. Lois doesn't go in for parties and drinking and a ser - les of men. And she's very un- happy—about you." "You Wouldn't Let Her" 'His smile was twisted. "1 can't keep up with the Carruths. I ani nothing. I have nothing—except my ambition." Color mounted to his face. "Do you think it's been easy Tor me—falling in love with a girl I can't see, can't meet on the same ground, can't take out, a girl whose home I can't go to? And I haven't Been able to get her out of my mind. It's pretty lonely, living the way I've been living, in one room, grabbing meals between classes, sometimes not eating at all."

It's no use. You can see that, And I don't want to hurt het', I wouldn't hurt her for anything In the world. She'd better forget all about me." "She can't. There are some peo- ple, you see, for whom second choice won't do at all. Lois is like that. She found everything she wanted here in this park when she met and talked to you. Falling in love is very simple. But falling out of iove isn't." Falling in love with Bill had been so simple... ' A Bitter Smile Terry said, "1 think you're swell to take the trouble to explain ..." Katha said, "I love Lois. I care what happens to her. And she's in love with you. Somewhere now she's in this park, looking for you." He lowered his eyes. "I can't see her. It makes it' worse when I see her. What would her father think? His smile, twisted again ... "I'm turning back. Don't tell her you saw me. I'm not turning back be- cause I'm a coward. What business have 1 to be in love with Richard Carruth's daughter? If I saw her very much, I'd want to Marry her. What have I to offer her when I can scarcely keep myself?" Katha said, "Terry, you are throwing away what you will never find again," His smile was bitter now. ` That's right, But what eau I do about it?'' After he turned back, she found Lois but she dict not tell her that she had seen Terry. Lois said, "He isn't here today, Iratite. What am 1 going to do? Dad and Mother have given me ev- erything. I'm very grateful. But I want to be happy in my heart and in my mind. The things that money can buy give you a thrill but it's only a temporary one. I could have a lot of dates and go to parties and have men make love to me. I don't want those things. I clon't want ex- periences and thrills. I want to be with Terry." "I know," Iiatha said. "And Bill went away last night." How sorry she felt for herself! "We had a perfect evening. It was probably our last. He won't remember to come back before I go home. I wish I'd never come. If I hadn't, e probably would have married one 0f :the bo.,s,,;at, *have kno*n: there :Was a. 131 1 Mee Milian in the world. 'Lois, like you and Terry, Bill and I belong. But Bill doesn't know it. He never will. You stumble over a great happiness and get up and go yoir way and never once look back to see what you stumbled over. "And Kemp?" She nodded. "I'ni going to a party with him tonight. He'll close his eyes and try to think I'm as desirable to him as Millicent. But I won't pretend. 1'11 know he isn't 2111. With him I don't have that feeling of belonging." CHAPTER XVI Richard was dividing his atten- tions between his breakfast and the newspaper when they came M. "Here's a telegram for you, Ra- ttle." She picked it up with suddenly shaking hands. Was it a summons from home? But, it read "Found ny Uncle very ill Stop will be delay- ed." It was signed, "BILL". Looking at Lois' and Richard's anxious faces, she read it to them. Richard said, "That's too bad. But George McMillan is a very old man. If he flies, Bill will conte in- to his vast fortune. That's a tre- mendous amount of money to fall into the hands of a boy." Ratha stood still with the tele- gram unsteady in her hand, think- ing, "How silly I am to hope that Bill, who will be one of the richest Hien in the country, will want to marry met" A Bracelet For Evelyn Smiling, Richard drew a velvet box from his pocket and opened it. It held a diamond anci emerald bracelet. "Beautiful, isn't it? For Evelyn. A sort of home -coming gift. As long as we've been married, I've always brought her something each time I've been away, even if it were only over -night. For being good, 1• always tell her. She adores diam- onds, I'm going to awaken her and give it to her now. Lois lowered her thick dark lashes. She could not look at him. Katha crushed the telegram in her hand, thinking of Bill far away, thinking of young Terry Reese who had ridden away, thinking of Eve- lyn's hushed volce when she bad spoken tenderly, passionately to Eric. She thought, "I'm afraid now, too. For all of us! We're all caught and we can't get out: We can'tget out!" Ebbing Strength In a hotel room in Asheville, Bill sat beside hie Uncle's bed anti looked with hurt, stricken eyes at the old man's thin, wrinkled face. George McMillan I1ad been talk- ing for a long time and speech had ebbed his little remaining strength, - Inhaling deeply On a cigarette 13111 said, "You should have told No that you lost nearly" all your money, Uncle George. I had no way •of knowing." The old man sullied. '"'there ryas time enough for you to work. I wanted you to have the fun I did- n't have when I was young. 'That's why I didn't tell you. I -know you had good shill hi you and that in time you'd settle down and make a name for yourself; that it would- n't natter a great deal if I had lit- tle to leave you. I fooled them all, didn't I? Bet you've been a good investment, 13111, the best I've ever made. l'ni proud of you. You've never done anything for . which I had to apologize. What I gave yon never turned your head." He smiled again very feebly. "Now tell me." "Why 1 came down?" I atha's oval face, her smoky eyes, her cloud of dark hair rose up before him. "To tell you .I've met a girl I want to marry, if she'll have me, and that I'm going to accept Coop- er's offer and go to work." "That's fine, boy," George Mc- Millan said and drifted into sleet. Proud Of Him Bill arose and went to the win- dow. His face was grim. He thought "I want Katha." He want- ed her nearness, her soothing voice, her cool, soft hand for comfort. In trouble men, both strong and weak, turn to women, Bill thought. Uncle George, the only relative he had ever known, was going to tile. He couldn't hold on much longer. And when everything was over, he Bill, would have to be assured of his job with Cooper before he went back to Iiatha. He wouldn't be Bill McMillan, sportsman, .when he went back to New York again. He'd be rather a poor young man with bis hurt eased out of his heart by his love, a young man about to begin his life and career and determined to make a success of both not only for himself but for an old man who had lived and died proud of him and for a girl who must be proud of him, too.

Curing Y;s ursef Of Sleeplessness Learn to Relax and Give Up Fear of Insomnia The value of muscular relaxation in health and sickness was stres- sed in a recent address by a physi- cian. People should prepare for sleep by ridding themselves as far as possible of all contractions and ten- sions. Rest is more important than sleep. If we have to have one or the other it is better to rest without sleep than to sleep without rest. "Insomnia, is largely due to the fear of not sleeping,"said the auth- ority, "wherea,s if you make tip your mind to rest and give up the idea of sleep, you will be asleep in a short while." Get Bid of Tension The excess tension from which we suffer so much today results In, frayed nerves, fatigue, loss of con- fidence and self-respect. Regarding the practical applica- tion of relaxation, the most diffi- cult areas to relax are the neck, spine and eyes. For curative relaxa. tion, just lying back in a chair with tt book Is not considered sufficient, but one has to lie flat 00 one's back with the eyes shut and a complete "let go" of every muscle in the body. Mental relaxation is obtained through physical relaxation. It is impossible to make one's mind a blank, but after a considerable amount of muscular relaxation a sense of ease will pervade the en- tire mind.

A study of the more than 40,- 000 0;000 eases of illness involved has revealed that ailments of the resp- iratory system — such as colds, laryngitis, influenza, bronchitis and tonsilitis — were responsible for, by far, the greater part of this ex- penditure. If the experience of this comp- any is to be taken as a criterion, the 7 simple rules for good health during wintertime — about which Bell employees were reminded re- cently—should be of general inter- est. They follow: 1. Beep room temperature around 72 degrees. 2. Keep air moist — fill radiator pans with water regularly. 3. Sleep with windows open, but keep out of drafts. 4. Beep fresh fruits and vege- tables on your daily menu. 5. Wear enough clothing when outdoors — not too much when in- side. 6. Avoid going out into the cold when you are perspiring. 7. If you have a coal fire, be sure gases are burned off before closing dampers for the night. Women Voters' Apathy Scored Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt Says • Women Waste Their Ener- gies on Other Things Than Politics Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt blames general apathy of women for the numerical decrease in wo- men legislators and congresswo- men, in the U. S. The same holds true of the Canadian political pic- ture. There are plenty of capable wo- men to hold legislative positions, Mrs. Roosevelt told her press con- ference one day last week. The big trouble is, she said, women as a whole do not back feminine candi- dates. As soon as women generally de- mand representation of their point of view, Mrs. Roosevelt said, they will find plenty of women torun for office.
