FOURTH INSTALMENT
SYNOPSIS
Wihen the wealthy foster par-
. ents of Marjorie Wetherell both
die she finds a. letter telling that
she has a twin sister, that she
was adopted when her own par-
ents couldn't afford; to support
botch of them and that her real
. name is Dorothy Gay. Alone in
the 'world, but with a fortune of
her own, she considers looking up
her own family whom she has nev-
er seen. A neighbor, Evan Bow-
er, tries to argue her out of it and
tells her he loves her and asks
ber to marry hum•. She prone: to
to think it over but decides first
to see her family. She goes to
their address, finds that they are
destitute, have sold all of their
furniture, have no coal, her
mother is sick and her father has
no job. Her sister treats her like
an enemy and resents her offer
of help, ' but finally, after many
explanations, agrees to take mon-
ey to buy coal and food in ondier
to save her mother's, life. Mar-
jorie goes out and buys food, coal
and other supplies which are joy -
meetly . welcomed by her sister.
Her father comes in sick and hun-
gry but hurries tothe cellar to
•builid a fire and get the house
warm. •
Marjorie was at her side at once,
her arms about her, soothing her, put-
ting the hair back from her tired fore-
head, putting a warm• kiss' on the back
of her neck.
"Why, you're cold' 'yet, you poor
dear!" she said. "Come into the hall
and sit over the register and get your
feet warm."
"No! No, I'm all right," insisted
Betty, raising her head and brushing
away her tears. "I just can't under-
stand it all, everything getting so dif-
ferent all of a sudden. Food in the
house, and heat, and a chance to sit
.drown."
"But my dear, you've scarcely eat-
en, a thing. Come, let me get you a
nice little lunch,"
Marjorie made Betty sit down and
eat.
"Mother said the soup was the best
thing she had tasted in weeks," she
said as she ate hungrily.
"Have you—told her about me—
yet?" asked Marjorie anxiously.
"No," said Betty. "I didn't have 'a
chance yet. I didn't want to excite
her while she was eating. And besides
Father had come in and dropped
down on, the other edge of the bed.
He went right off to sleep. •
"You spoke of Ted. Is he our bro-
ther?" Marjorie asked.
"Of course. Hadn't you heard of
them, either? He's almost seventeen,
and he's a dear. I don't know what
we would have done while Father was
sick, if it hadn't •been for Ted. He
worked early and late, just like' a
man. He's out now hunting for some
kind of a job, And he hasn't had much
to eat for a day and a half. He had a
real desperate look on his face when
'he went away this morning. I wish
he would come back and get some-
thing to eat. But he won't come -un-
til he finds something."
"Olt," said Marjorie, " couldn't I go
out and find shim?"
Betty's eyes filled with tears, but
she smiled through them, and shook
her„ head.
"I wouldn't know where to find Ted.
He goes all over the city when he
gets deoperate. He'll come pretty
soon penhaps, because he said if be
couldn't tlnd something else this
morning he'd come back and get that
chair and take it to the pawnbroker.
He felt we ought to have some coal
as soon as possible, but he hated to
give up the last chair."
"Os!r, my dear!" said Marjorie, her
eyes clouded with tears of sympathy.
"Oh, if I had only known sooner!"
"Oh, don't you cry!" said Betty.
"You've come, and I can't tell you
how 'wonderful it is just to have it
warm here again and have something
to eat, and not be frightened about
Mother and Father. I'm sure I'll love
jorie, thoughtfully. "Not till Mother
came to see her. And she never told
me about that at all. She just left a
letter."
"1 see," said Betty sadly. "I was all
wrong of course. But I guess that
yeas what made Mother suffer so,
thinking she had let you go. She has
cried and cried over that. Whenever
she wasn't well, she would cry all
night. She said Mr. Wetherill came
to her when she was weak and sick
and didn't realize fully what she was
doing. Father was threatened with
tuberculosis and Mr. Wetherill prom-
ised to put 'inn on a farm and start
hie, out. Besides he gave them quite
a sum of money to have me treated.
It seems I wasn't' very strong and
had to be under a specialist for a
long time. They said, I wouldn't live
if I didn't have special treatment"
Betty's eyes grew stormy with bit-
terness.
"I used to wish eometi;mes they had.
let me die. I thought Mother didn't
love me at all, she mourned for you
so much."
"Oh, my dear!" said Marjorie con=
ing close and putting her arms about
cher sister, "My dear! I think we are
going to love each, other a lvt!"
It was very still in the little dreary
kitchen for a minute while the two
sisters held each other close. Then
Betty lifted' her head.
"I'm glad you've come, anyway!"
ebe said. "You've been wonderful al-
ready. And I'm glad for Mother that
she needn't fret for`wihat she did any
more. As soon as the doctor's been
here I want, to tell her. It will cure
her just to know you are here, I
know it will."
"Well, you'd •better ask the doctor
if it won't excite her too much. There!.
Isn't that the doorbell? Penhaps he's
come! But it isn't quite two orclook!"
Betty hurried to answer the bell,
and Marjorie lingering in the kitchen
saw through the crack of the door
that it was the doctor. Betty took (him
upstairs at once, and Marjorie stood
for a minute by the kitchen window
looking out.
Then she remembered the pantry
which she had been putting to rights,
setting the supplies up " in an orderly
manner on the shelves.
She stepped on a box to reach the
top shelf, and there she discovered a
handleless cracked cup with little
tickets in it. Were they milk tickets
or what? She wiped off the shelf,
steppeddown with the cup in her
hand, and stood there examining the
bits of patter:" Each one had eame-
thing written on it.
"Six plain' sterling spoons," one
said. "One brussels carpet," said an-
other. "Three upholstered chairs."
Marjorie stared at them in dismay
as she realized what these bits of pa-
per ,must be. They were pawn tick-
ets! They represented( the downfall
of a home! A precious home where
these her own flesh and blood had
lived!
She went on with the tickets. "One
child's crib -bed." "Six dining room
'chairs."
She stood studying then., trying to
make a rough estimate of the entire
amount loaned for all those artickes,
when suddenly she heard the kitchen
deer open and a boy's voice said:
"What's the idea, Betts, of having
the cellar window open? Did you
think it was milder out than in?:'
Marjorie turned startled, letting the
pawn tickets fall back into the cup,
and facing trim, not realizing that she
still held the cup itt her hands.
She saw a tall boy, lean and wiry,
with a shock of red hair and big
gray eyes that had green lights in
them.
e stared at her first with a be-
wildered gaze like one who had
come in out of the sun and could not
rightly see in the dimmer light.
"You are Ted., aren't you?" He stif-
fened visibly, realizing that ho was
in the presence of "stranger.
"Yes?" the said coldly, lifting his
head a trifle, with a gesture that in
a man would have been called
haughty. He was alert, ready to re-
sent the intrusion of a stranger into
their private ,m'is'ery.
Then lie saw the cup in her hand,
She turned, startled, letting the tickets fall.
you afterwards for yourself, but just
now I can't help being, thankful for
the things you've done. Maybe I can
make yon understand sometime when
I'm not so tired. But you see I've
hated you and blamed you for being
better than we were so long! I see
now it wasn't fair to you. You couldn't
'help what they did to you when you
were a baby of course. Orly I never
(Dreamed they wouldn't tell you any-
thing about us. Mother said Mrs.
Wetherill had said they would tell
you you were adopted, and I supposed
of course you kneW, and'didn't care
to have anything to do with us."
"I don't think Mrs. Wetherill knew
'much about you either," said Mar -
and putting down the bucket of "coal
he had picked from the dump he
stepped over and took the cup pos-
sessively.
"That wouldn't interest you," he
said coldly, reprovingly,
"Ted!' said Marjorie impulsively,
"I'm your` sister! Don't speak to me
that way!"
"My sister!" said Ted scornfully.
"Well, I can't help it if yotr' are, that
doesn't• give you a rif-ht to pry into
our private affairs, does it?" c.
An angry flush had stolen, over the
boy's lean thefts, and his eyes were Ie
h.rd as steel. a,
"Oh, please don't!" said Marjorie. et
covering her fate with her hands, "I
wasn't - paging. I was „trying to
hebp!"
"Well, we don't need ygpu.r 'help!„
said the boy with young seorn in his
eyes.
"But you see, Ted, I'ma net a visi-
tor. I'm one of the family, and Betty
and I are working together."
"Betty! -Does my sister Betty
know you are here? Where is sihe?"
"She's upstairs. now with the doc-
tor."
The doctor ! Is my mother
worse?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen her
yet, but as soon as' I heard she was
so sick I begged Betty to get the
doctor. You know pneumonia is a
very treacherous disease."
"Yes, and who did you think
would pay the doctor?" asked Ted in
that hard colds young voice so full of
anxiety and belligerence.
"Oh, Ted! I'll pay, of course!"
"Yes', and what do you think Mrs.
Wetherill well say to that?"
"Site won't say anything, Ted.
She's dead!" There was. a bit of a
sob in Marjorde's' voice in spite of her
best efforts.
The boy looked' at her speculative-
ly and frowned.
"If you are family why didn't you
ever turn up before when Mother was
fretting for you?"
"Because I didn't know anything
about her or any of you except that
you had let me be adopted!"
The hardness in the boy's face re-
laxed.
Then they heard the doctor coming
downstairs, with „Betty just behind
him, and, by, common consent they
froze into silence. Marjorie with a
hand at .her throat to still the wild'
throbbing of her pulses. Then they
heard the doctor's voice:
"No, I don't expect her fever to go
higher to -night. Oh, perhaps a lit-
tle more. All she needs is rest and
notir'dshm.ent and good care. Be care-
ful about the • temperature of the
room,. Of . course don't let her get
chilled. That is the greatest danger.
No, I don't think her lungs are in-
volved yet. Good care and rest and
the right food: will work wonders."
"Doctor, any sister—has been away
some time. She has just come pack.
Do you think it will hurt Mother to
know she has come? She has been
grie$'ing to have -her at home."
"What kind is she? Will she wor-
ry your mother, or will she be a
help?"
"Oh, she'll be a help. She's rather
wonderful ! "
Ted stole a sudden shamed glance
at Marjorie, with the flicker of a
grin of apology in his young face.
"Weli, then, tell her about it by all
means. Joy never - kipis, Perhaps
you'd better wait till she wakes up."
When the door closed behind the
doctor Marjorie bad a sudden feeling
of let down as if she wanted to sit
down and cry with relief.
Betty's face was eager as she came
out into the kitchen. She looked
straight at Marjorie. Penhaps she
didn't see Ted at first.
"He thinks maybe she won't have
pneumonia after all," she said with
relief.
"Oh, Ted, you've got back. I've been
so worried! You went off without any
breakfast, and you had no dinner East
night!"
Aw, whaddaya think I am? A
softie?" said Ted.
"I've been keeping the soup hot for
ih•ian, said Marjorie, "Here it is,
Ted." She placed a bowl on the box
and brought the thermos bottle.
"There's coffee too, and a plate of
sandwiches." She set the things be-
fore him.
"Goeth ! " said Ted dumbfounded.
"Where did you get all thin layout"."
"You don't know what's happened
since you left; Theodore Gay! A
miracle has' come, that's what!" said
Betty. "We've, got another sister,
and she's just like Santa Claus, She
did it ail!"
"Gosh!" said Ted, wrinkling his
nice mahogany brows, "but I don't
think we ought to take it."
"Well," said Betty, "I thought so
too, but I found out it was a choice
between that, and dying, and she
seemed determined to die with us if
we did, so I let her have her way."
Marjorie felt a sudden lump com-
ing into her throat that betokened
tears near at hand. She felt so glad
to have got here in time before her
family starved .to death! How awful
to think they had been in such
straits while she feasted on the fat
of the land!

peen politics.
Lying along the northeast frontier
of Eeat Prussia and cut off from; the
rest of Germane' by the "Polish Cor-
ridor," Memel Territory is an irregu-
lar sliver of land covering an area of
about 1,099 square miles. The head-
quarters of the National Geographic
Society describe it as a farming and
cattle -raising region, which has a pop-
ulation of about 150,0,00 persons and
includes the long -contested vital Bal-
tic port of Memel—Klaipeda to the
Lithuanians.
"Given up by Germany under the
Versailles Treaty, Memeiland was ad-
ministered by the Allied Powers for
several years after the World War,"
continues the bulletin.
"In 1924 •following Lithuania's. ac-
tion of the previous year in taping
over the area, Memel Territory—with
canteen autonomous rights --was leg-
ally ceded to that country in a League.
of Nations pact signed by Great Bri-
tain, France, Italy, Japan ante Lithu-
ania. Since then Memel has periodic-
ally rated news- space as one of Eur-
ope's problem 'children.
"Such dramatic events as it has
seen since the War, however, are mild
compared with the past of this strip
of land on the crossroads of interna-
tional history.
"More than 700 years ago, before
the town of Memel was founded, its
site was a battleground between Lith-
uanian tribes and invading Teutonic
Knights, a military and religious• or-
der of German Crusaders. Destroy'i'ng
the Lithuanian fortress which stood
guard against Baltic pirates, the
Knights built' their own stronghold,
following at with the town of 'Memel -
burg.'
"As " an. early trade center, Memel
grew and prospered, but found little
peace. In the thirteenth, fourteenth
and fifteenth centuries it was attack-
ed and burned •tirne and again in a
three -cornered' tug-of-war between
Lithuanians, Poles, and Teuton's., the
latter winning out in the Peace of
Melee in 1422.
"For a short time in 'the 1600's, the
Swedes called Memel theirs; later it
was occupied by Russian troops. Af-
tes sacking and burning the town
Week left it to the mercy of a plague.
But the stubborn city again strug-
gled to its' feet. As a thriving Prus-
sian town, it became, until the World
War, German's northernmost Baltic
port.
"Today Memel is the ' Lithuanian
Republic's only good port. Moderniz-
ed by the Government, with new
wharves, warehouses, docking ma-.
ebinery, grain, elevators, and cold -
storage equipment, the old city has
been given a new lease on life, not
only as a timber center, but as a
general transit port for foreign and
domestic trade.
"Regular shipping service links it
er on her wind' -tossed voyage across
from Penzance and see how •the Peo-
ple of the fragrant isles manage
things.
The, winter gales a: c their friends,
co-partners in their jcb. The )high
whipped waves bring to beach and
rock the seaweed whirl! is the unsur-
passe(' manure for the flowers. With
this they thoroughly 'sweeten" and
fertilize the ground_
Before then, in the. autumn when
the last of the summer visitors to the
island have gone, you will see the
steamer bring in not holiday makers
any more but an immense cargo, pil-
ed so thigh as, almost to hide her super-
structure. It is of wood, the Swedish
spruce for the boxes into which the
flowers are ultimately put. That is
why the fragrant cargoes that arrive
towards Easter at the railway termini
in London and up country are made
even more attractive by being cased
in new wood.
As the days of autumn merge into
winter dark, you will hear on the is-
land from almost every house com-
munity sounds as though the whole
little community had taken `to cob-
bling. Whole households from fa-
ther and mother down to the young-
est children are at work nailing to-
ged.her the boxes.
By end of December, when parts of
the British Isles may be a foot deep
in snow, the rich green stalks of the
flowers are In places already as much
as 15 irrches high out of the ground.
Very soon the first lovely buds ap-
petrr upon them—sign that tie stren-
uous season for the flower -folk is at
hand.
The blooms are grown not in vast
open fields, as you might think, but
in separate patches each cut oft' from
the other by budge hedges or wales
of evergreen. Those living barriers
break furious gales of terrific weight
which regularly sweep the small ar-
e,ef land throughout the winter.
The Scil•lonians pick the flowers
while they are still at the stage of
tender bud; and to make sure that
these buds receive the minimum of
injury the menfolk of the cultivators
let their nails grow to •abnormal
length.
And when they get to work on the
bud piclting there is nothing of the
leisurely gardens about the
process. A man Who is up to the
mark as a picker will gather in not
less than a thousand bunches between
early morning and dark.
The buds are brought Indoors to
open. Sunny windows, warm spots in
kitchen serve' the purpose for the
poorer cultivators. But with the
bigger producers the famous 'glass
house" is used—and a marvellous
sight are these houses with their pyra-
mids and banks of living color.
Next the women start to bunch and
tie, work that continues at express
!peed from dawnup to midnight and
he--ond. Time—time—that is now the
get at factor, and the enemy.
The becing follows: then the long
line of vel' d es leading down to the
pier, the journey acrose, repeated a-
gain and again; and at the end of the
fast trlfn journeys east, midland and.
north, spring's first magic scent is
brought from the flower ,is'le irto thole

of June 28, 1919.
Tike transfer of Memel from ad.
mdinstratiot by a conference of Am,
bassadiar'n was legalized; May 8, 1924,
when Bmf t$,in,, France, Italy, Japan,
and, Lithuania. signed the Memnel.Eon-

der Lithuanian• sovereignty, but with
a large measure of local autonomy
which was to be guaranteed by the
four Large Powers.
Lithuania invoked martial law more
than 12 years ago, bilk had little real
trouble with Memel until Adolf Hit-
ler's rise to power in 1933.
Alarmed at., the flood of National
Socialist propaganda, the Lithuanians
then imposed a virtual dictator's/alp,
arrested Dr. Ernst Neumann., local
German leader in 1934, and dissolved

In November, on the heels of Mun-
ich, the Lithuan}ans lifted martial
law. Dr. Neumann energetically, pick-
ed up where he left off. •
He organized a -new party)—andn car-
ried. the Deeemrber elections, conduct-
ed virtually on a "back -to -the -Reich"
issue. Germans now sit in 25 of the
29 seats in the Memel Diet.
On Dec. 30, the Memel Government
ousted the Lithuanian State police
and decreed that M.emelia.nders must
'be given precedence in Government
jobs. .
On March 16 the Lithuanian Gover-
nor of Memel convened—the 'Diet for'
March 25, when it was expected to
pass a law conferring executive pow-
ers on Dr. Neumann: • But Germany de-
cided to "liberate" the territory and
it went back to Germany.
The Lithuanian Government, by its
decision to surrender Memel blood-
ress'ly, made it plain that it did not
expect any help from the signatories
of the Memel Convention.
NO TURNING, NO CHICKS
Turning the eggs regularly is one
of the most t important operations in
incubation. Eggs tibat are not turned
.at all during the three weeks in the
incubator usually fail to batch.
Just Why turning is so essential to
a good hatch hos not been fully ex-
plained, but within reasonable limits,
the more times eggs are turned the
more chicks will hatch. The practical
question to be answered is: "At what.
point does the number of extra chicks
hatebed become so small as to fail to
pay for the extra .turnings?"
Close observation has sleeve that
eggs set under hens"a,re turned over
many times each twenty-four 'hours.
This is probably one of the reasons
why bens can still outbatch the ,best
artificial incubator.
It has been shown to be commer-
cially practical to turn eggs at least
three times daily, and four times un-
der certain conditions. With band
turning the practical limit is usually
three times a day.
Turning during the first ten days of
incubation seems to be especially im-

the importance of beginning the tent-
ing
uraing lust as soon as the eggs are up
to ineubation temcpera,tuies. Do not
wait till they have been in the ;ma-
chine three or four. days, before start-
ing
tarting to turn them. Early, regular, and
frequent turning will give the eggs a
good opportunity to batoh. ,

TRICK PICTURES—I
�a¶
•
Above: Realistic, but a fake, easy with
any camera. Inset, left, shows how to fake
a scooter "wreck." Just use concealed
pegs or props, pose subject as desired.
aleRICK pictures?" you say; "oh,
1 I can't take these. Mine is just
an ordinary camera."
There you're wrong. Splendid
trick snapshots can ie taken with
any camera—whether it's a simple,
inexpensive box camera or one of
the finest cameras made.
Consider the snapshot above. It
looks like the port of thing that de-
mands a fast "action" camera and
lots of picture luck. But don't be
fooled. The picture was posed. The
horse was stuffed, and hung on a
peg And the Camera used was a
simple amateur type such as thou-
sands of us possess.
Probably you don't have a stuffed
horse. But if your son has a bicycle
or "scooter" you can picture' a spill
just as realistic as this one. Simply
rig up the child's vehicle to a tree,
showing it in a cockeyed, off -the -
ground position—see that the sup-
ports •-^ concealed, Let your sub-
ject pose as if he had just toppled
off—and snap the picture.
Photo tricks with string or thread
are fun. Try a "magic golf club"
shot. Just use light -weight thread,
and suspend one cif your clubs from
a tree branch, in proper striking
position. Hang a ball a few inches
in front of the club head. Now, have
a friend pose as if hypnotizing the
club into action—and shoot. If you
use thread which is about the same
color and tone as the background, it
will not show.
Thread filmy can be used for trick
shots indoors. Thus, you can show
your wife "hypnotizing" a vase of
flowers right off the table—or beck-
oning her sewing basket to her
through the air. Just use dark
thread to suspend the objects, and
shade your photo lights. so the
thread is not illuminate$.
Try these tricks now—and leer)%
tell you of some others just as easy,
neat week.
