Cag is THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, JUNE 20, 1932 BIN FOR A PENNY \ oy Sophie Kerr. @ynopsis of Preceding Instalments: In the year and a half since she married Malcolm, Emily Crayn had been con- stantly worried by his old debts and new bills. The day before the wedding at Emily Rallifer"s Maryland home, Barton Hale, Mac's New York broker, telephoned for more margin, but Mac could not put up more money and was wiped out. On their hon- eymoon he spent $1,000 his mother had given Emily as a wedding present to help furnish their home, and they could not move into an apartment from their New York hotel, but he took an- other flyer on a shoestring and made $2,000. They mov- ed then to the suburban apartment house in which Bette Osgood, married daughter of Emily's cousin, Louisa James, lived. Mac kept om speculating, winning, then losing at inopportune times, ufitil" he lost his joh with a title and mortgage company. Emily was close- mouthed through pride but once she told her troubues to Virginia Gover when Vir- ginia came to her to confide her worries over her hard- drinking husband Ted. Mac did not look for another job. Just after her baby girl was born at her parents' home, she was greatly shocked by the news that both the Govers had committed sui- cide in England. Mac was cleaned out again in the market and was jubilant when he learned that Vir- ginia had left Friday a lega- cy of $125,000. INSTALMENT 25. Mac had everything all plan- ped, he was on fire tb yet started, k was time wasted to stock around down here loafing when he could be doing great things in the market, and showing every- body he knew what a shrewd and camny wizard of finance he was. At the train, as he told the Rallifers goodbye, he could not keep from exclaiming: *""The next time we come, it'll be in our pri- vate car," and Emily, listening, felt the intense earmestness that underlay the joking boast. a! ought to tell him, I ought to have it out with him," she thought, "but I can't, I can't. I haven't got the courage." On the train she took young Emily and held her for 2 much longer time than Miss Haines ap- proved while she tried to straigh- ten her tangled th'oughts. Never, in all her life, she felt sure, would she again have so much money at her disposal and that it was at her disposal Mr. Clen- don had made sufficiently clear. She looked back over the past year with its anxieties and humil- iatioms, its feverish wuncertain- ties, and as young Emily stirred in her arms and blinked sleepy unseeing eyes, she felt the over- whelming need of safety, of free- dom from such uncertainties for th child, and for herself. But how to gain it, how to assure it, even with the money. If she could only trust Mac--and at the word "trust" she remembered sharply his dismayed exclamation, "if it's in trust we'd only get the in- come," and she wondered what the imcome would be, and began to do sums in her head. Her little bond had brought her five dol- lars a year, a thousand dollars would have brought her fifty. Therefore, a hundred and twen- tyfive and two to carry, five twos are ten and ome to carry, five ones are five, and one to carry makes six--why, it would be over six thousand dollars! And six thousand dollars a year year would be five hundred dbl- lars a month, the amount, ironi- cally enough, of the allowance she had. asked from Mac to pay everything, even the old bills, It was a fortune! She needn't bother about money ever again, with five hundred dollars a month! And then she looked across the aisle at Mac, so alive, so confi- dent , so handsome, and her heart failed her, He would never, never comsent to buy bonds with that 'money and live on the in- come! He would laugh at her if she suggested it. Her helpiessness against him swept over her and she felt, too, his helplessness against. his own nature, For their child, for herself, and for Mac, too, she must find some bar against his irresponsibility to keep it from making havoe with all their lives, Yet she could see no way. It was almost comic to wish that she had been brought up with some practical training in handling money when there had never, since her birth, been any money to handle in the Ralli- fer family. But she knew ignor- ance and she knew also that she could not resist for very long any determination of Mac's that went against her own. Well, then, she must temporize, she must delay. It was a depressing outlook. Once arrived, surrounded by the admiration and delight of the James family and Bette and An- drew, who met the train en masse, all demanding at once to see young Emily, all exclaiming with pleasure, welcoming, affec- tionately Emily's depression fell away. This too was home, and these were home people, way, and she loved them, And there was no blinking that the James house was a miracle of luxury compared to the Rallifer dwelling. The mere plethora of bathrooms brought a s~nse of ease and convenience, while the electric devices softened Miss Haines' grenadier superiority to an incredible degree. For the first few days Emily rested and bask- ed in a delicious inertia, while the household paid tribute to her |.

I don't believe she gver cries." Bette, too, came daily to admire, but told Emily teasing- ly: "Wait until I decide to have one! It'll make your offpring look like nothing at all!" Mac dashed off to ihe city every morning ahd returned in the eve- ning in the perfect commuter manner. He was having the time of his life looking at offices, choosing furniture, tasting the sweet of spending lavishly and importantly--on credit. He did not tell Emily what he was do- ing, but he urged her repeatedly to get in touch with Toland and Toland. "I'm not up to it yet," she said. "Really, 1 don't believe I could stand a day in town." "But Clendon will come out here to see you, You don't need to go in town." "I'd rather go in there. I'll be stronger very soon." She knew that he was eager to get hold of the money, she could feel his will against hers, forcing her to give it to him. They were like two antagonists who away, each measuring the other with an oblique glance, quite ready to open battles. But of the two only Mac never doubt- ed the outcome, though he sensitive enough to Emily's silent opposition to be silent about his stamd was in a | when they saw | and took them to lunch, and daz- | | year and ever ! they scheme in her pretence When were complete, she'd be convinced without any special plan from him.

"1'n them up to-morrow town the day after," "I'm feeling a lot bet- that they go along, so { don't put anything over on you." She made an effort to think "If you don't mind, I'd rather go alone, I won't let them put any- thing over on me." "Of course I'm going with you --I wouldn't think of letting you go alone, you might find you're not as strong as you imag- ine, and besides, I want to be right there on the spot to see what's going on! It's hardly pos- sible that they'll try any phony business, a reputable firm like that, but there are ever so 'many little catches and corners that you'd never see." Emily sighed. "Cousin Louisa's waiting for us to play bridge," she said, In the morning when he kissed her goodbye, he reminded her: "Don't forget to eall up our old pal Clendon and make that ap- pointment for us to see him to- forrow." "No, I won't forget." : "That's a good girl." He kissed her again, and went off, compla- cent, confident. Emily watched him go down the street and hated the secret compulsion he had put upon her. "If I only knew what to do," she thought, "if I omly knew what to do." But there seemed to he nothing. At last she went to the down- stairs telephone and called the lawyers, Yes, Mr, Clendon was there. Mr. Clendon was very glad to hear from Mrs. Crayn. Yes, he could see her tomorrow, at any time she wanted to come in town. She said she would come at eleven, And then, suddenly, in- stead of saying goodbye, she ask- ed, desperately, "Mr. -Clendon, isn't there some way I could put this money where 1 couldn't pos- sibly use amy of it--and just have the income? Where I could- n't touch it, even if I, wanted to ever so much? Where nobody could touch it?" Mr. Clendon's dry voice, slight- ly surprised, explained that ther: were trust arrangements, irre- vocable--Emily snatched at the word. "That's what I want, an Ir- revocable trust. Mr. Clendon, I'm coming in town right away, today, to see you. I'll put the money into an irrevocable trust now, this minute." Mr. Clendon, still more sur- prised, demurred that such haste was nog usual, that it would be dificult to move so quickly. "But neither | | tell . her to | or to any | { see him, he expanded | joyously, and he even hunted up | | debts and begged Emily. Go not impossible " "I must da it now, today. ahead and get things ready as quickly as you cam and I'll put on my hat and be there on the first train I can get." She would not give herself time to think, to reflect. She ran upstairs, hurried into her clothes for town. At last she would be safe, safe. Irrevocable! That was what she needed. A magic word! She came home late in the af- ternoon, tired and worn, and un- easy. The thing she had desired was accomplished, and, being done, she had begun to feel the dreading of it and to dread the moment when she must tell Mac. Would he be frightfully disap- pointed? Would he be angry? But in the end he must see the jus- tice of it, for it was her own mon- ey, she was privileged to do with it whatever she wanted. Mr. Glendon had approved her course, in a muted way, though he had no; approved the precipit- ancy of it, more from a dislike of being hustled than from any fear that she might later regret. And here was young Emily looking at her child Emily felt amply justified, Nevertheless she was glad that Cousin Oscar and Cousin Louisa were going out to, dinner when Mac asked her, "Did call up Clendon today?" marely said ves, and let the ex- planation wait, She didn't want the waitress to hear. After dinner, when they were in the living room, she knew that she muv*t Her heart beat drums a throat was dry, but she poke as easily as she could, "Mac," she began, "you asked me if I called up Mr. Clendon to- day.

The large blooms on it are of mauve shade. It is said the plant grows to a height of eight feet, Joseph Kehoe, who has succeeded in bringing the plant to the flower- ing stage, says he understands it is the only one of its kind in the province to bloom. He was told that it was doubtful if the plant would flower here, but he made the attempt and has succeeded. Are Holding Inquest Belleville.----Investigation has started into the death of R.
