Angela tried desperately to be calm -- but John Davis felt the impact of her announcement as though he had been struck by a bomb, The complacency he had worn for years like a suit of ar- mor was completely shattered -- and his soul lay bare, marked by the hideous streaks of his selfish- ness. - "Run away?" he faltered, "This was in her room," Angela _continued, - thrusting a scrap of paper into his hands. "Better phene the police. She had .an hour's start. She took her bank." Kathleen's father was helpless. "She can't have gony far -- lot's 'get the car, She. hat does this say?" he mumbled 'almost inco- "herently. . ¥ It was Angela who phoned the police. ' Mr. Davis tried to decipher the medning of the blurred letters be- fore him, "I---I'm going to my only friend," the note concluded. Miss' Bennett, in a filmy dinner __gown, was most concerned-about- her "Johnny." He ignored her and her solicitude, While Angela, Mre Davis, and repeated phone messages from the . police, puzzled where to go and what to do_to help the unhappy * | little girl alotie out in the night, Lorraine developed a-sudden jn-. terest in the cause of Kathleen's flight. Ld * * "What in the world could have possessed the little dear," she ask- a ed in words that rang far from . true, "Exactly what did she say . in the wote -- perhaps you have overlooked some clue." "The note is in the hands of the police," Angela answered, "but it made it very clear that Kathleen was desperately unhappy --s8he felt she wasn't wanted." "But why could she have felt like that?" Lorraine pressed. Mr, Davis was still bewildered; it was Angela who was forced to make the explanations. --"She overheard a-conversation between her 'father and me this evening out'near the cabana," she said, "Miss Bennett, Kathleen was very much' distressed at the thought of her father's re-mar- riage." 'Oh, indeed, Dr, Kent--1 think you must be wrong. | Kathleen was very fond of me," Lorraine replied. "What gave yoy _ that idea?" . "Kathleen - told me," ; Angela answered quietly, "~and the note in the book she left made it quite plain. That was her reason for running away -- my leaving, and the marriage." 7 "What book -- is that in the hands of the police too?" Lorraine snapped. ; "Where -are you going?" Mr. Davis asked anxiously as Angela turned to leave. the room, "I think 'Miss 'Bennett would like to see the book 1 mentioned," Angela said. The volume "she brought was one of birthday verses. In it Kathleen 'had marked one for the month of June. x "Mr. Davis' birthday June," Angela explained, LJ * * Lorraine read the first two lines "of the poem aloud -- bat she fin- ished in silence, "Sonny, when you take a wife, Just remember, it's for life. Search for more than airy grace, : - If your fortunes downward range-- : LOYALTY will never change, FAITH outlasts: a silken ankle. MODESTY will: never rankle, Sonny, when you take a wife," Just remember. -- IT'S FOK LIFE!" "But: this is only ridiculous -- I'still don't know why 'you are so positivev in your opinion," Lor- raine persisted, "Well, if you must know at this" © time when other things are so much more important, I'll tell you," Angela. answered calmly, "1 don't think I can ever forget is---in'e better that way." . * a single word of the note Kath. leen left me, You'll have the op- portunity to read it some time if you care to--and when you do I doubt if you'll find my recollec- tion as much as a syllable Wrong.

He won't even miss me. It's "It is apparent, Dr, Kent, that you have diseussed with Kathleen | her dislike for me," Lorraine ob- served, with catty insinuation, "It would be silly for me to ask whe ther you did what your paid posi- tion obligated you to, ramely, overcome any such dislike if it really existed, Her dislike of me quite obviously suited 'your pur: . poses--to reach John through his child!" At the mention of his name, Mr, Davis, seated near the tele. phone anxiously awaiting possible word from the police, looked up. "Please, Miss Bennett," said Angela quietly. "Kathleen is lost! Be as catty to me as you care to be later on -- tomorrow --but at least have the decency to wait until we find her!" "Don't you tell me what to do!" fairly shouted Mr. Davis' bride- to-be," "it wouldn't surprise me if you cooked up this whole run- ning away business -- you and Kathleen!" Angela turned to leave the room. "That, Miss Bennett," she said with biting contempt, "is the vilest and most revealing thing [ have ever heard! . . ., I'm going to sit by the upstairs telephone." "So that's vile, is it?" shouted Lorraine as Angela went out calm. ly," "That's vile and-'revealing'--- and you're just too shocked for words! Well, I % me tell you, dear, prissy, superior Dr. Kent, I've only started!" Ld * LJ All night:long Angela and Kath- leen's father kept vigil in the Davis home and a hundred miles away, in Philadelphia, Max -- Schoener, too, kept vigil; he was awaiting the arrival of the last big moving van with some of his precious possessions, ; "Hey! Open up, willya, Pop!" a tired driver called out in the early moriing as he rapped .on the door of the place "with the even bigger mortgage" which Kath- leen's friend's -cousin had willed to him, EB "Pop" stood in the .doorway while the driver and his helper flung open the big rear door of the van. "Jeez!" they exclaimed in uni- soh 'as a little girl, mussed and sleepy-cyed, crawled to the edge of the truck and said simply: "Could 'you help me down? "Kathleen!" Max shouted as he ran to her, from the doorway. "l swear I didn't know nuttin' about it," defended the bewilder- ed driver. : Inside Kathleen sobbed out her tory in her old friend's arms, "I had' to, Mr. Schoner," she cried. "They don't want me, any of them --not - Angel, or , . , Oh, Mr. Schoner, please Jet me stay with . youl!" | fj "There, there now, ny little friend," comforted Max--*"but all night long your father don't know wherg you are!" Ae "He doesn't care," sobbed the youngster. "Don't tell him ~-- Oh, } Mr, Schoner, if you like me at all,i, don't tell him!" Soon, under kindly ministrd- tions, the tired little girl was asleep -- on an old iron bed in a tiny room piled high and with un- opened. boxes. On a table beside her, her old, understanding friend : had made a place for the con- tents of the bundle she brought with her--her savings bank , . , and the little tinkly music box which was her open sesame to the "land-of-make-believe!" * * * . It was a frantically distraught Angela who answered Max Schon- er's long distance phone call, "She's safe!" she' cried as if to' some distant unseen power. Then she fell fainting to the floor. . "Kathleen's" 'father seized the dangling. receiver. "Just a 'min- ute, Mr. Schoner =-- hold on," he said, and knelt to pillow Angela's head on his breast. "It's all right, © "because if I were making it up BRITAIN'S NEW ENVOY "TO RUSSIA |, Archibald' Clark - Kerr, above, former British ambassador to China, has been named to suc ceed Sir Stafford Cripps, retiring ambassador to Russia, Sir dear," he said gently, didn't hear him, Max confessed his duplicity to ) a horrified Kathleen when she awakened from- her sleep, "You called him -- after 1 begged you not to," she cried. , Yu rig "He was awfully worried---you didn't know he would 'worry or you "wouldn't do this," her old friend contended. "He said they were leaving right away to see you." . ""They' -- that means father "and Lorraine -- 1 won't go back," Kathleen said with determination --and Max wasn't sure his argu- ments had made her change her mind when he left her alone for 'a little while, The little Maybe she girl looked at the nusic box on the table beside her. "Suppose," she said to her- self, "the door should open and it wouldn't be Lorraine at all? Just suppose it should be Angela and father?" And that's just what happened -- and Kathleen looked at the music box to make sure it wasn't playing. : "I guess this must be real, all right," the wise little lady said, you two weuld be kissing!" And that's just what happened. "Get your things, darling," her father said gently, "the family's going home!" § ~-- THE END --- "Babes On . Broadway" Adapted by Frances Barbour Fron" the' MIG. M.

He passed on the idea to his member of parliament, who later became Sir Robert. Pearce. ~The bill was first into the house of commons before "the last war, but a select commit- "tee shelved the notion until 1916, when the unrestricted German |, submarine campaign made extra daylight 'in factories essential, The bill became law on May 21, 1916. The original scheme of the bricklayer had been to put the clock forward by four leaps of 20-minutes cach, but Sir Robert Pearce amended it 'to:-the extra full hour which we enjoy in nor- mal times. Some amusing incidents oc- curred swhen the bill first became law. The palace officials hired a man by contract whose. task was to sce that all the royal clocks were duly moved in October and the spring. : Several other go ahead clock makers followed suit, and offered to do the same at a lump sum down, with a contract to last for 30 years. As most of the clock- makers were well over 60 three of them were imprisoned--as a lesson -- for obtaining money under false pretenses, introduced . ~ TR Rae sl ee "% rr a SSN TA
