Eddie had been in love with Be mice Verrssl, "Kan; girl," but thought of her Is put out of his heart when he meets and falls In love with Marian Thorndike. Eddie declares his love to Mari.-in, Tut he discourages him and tells him she expects to marry Tom Freeman. Free tnan dislikes Eddie, and one afternoon when Eddie is calling on Marian, Free man comes in and Insults Eddie. M-irt-an tells Eddie It is hopeless for him to lor, her. and Eddie, discouraged, decides fo go to Richmond. While he Is there, he meets Mike Arno, a former member of the gang. Arno tells Dim thnt Bernice Is still in love with him i Eddie) and Eddie's thoughts once more swing to her. Arno tries to make Eddie return to the city, but Eddie re fuses and goes back to the farm. Free man listens in on a conversation over the telephone between Marian and Ed di". and promptly rings Eddie back and tells him that things must be set tled between them. They meet and a fight ensues In which Freeman is knocked oht. Eddie put Freeman in the automobile and takes him to Mar ian's house.

They all -went out on the front veranda and Eat In wicker furniture while Freeman finished his drink. "Yes. sir, it wa3 one doggone hot fight while it lasted." Free man said reminiscently, as he sat down his glass. "I reckon I'm not th" man I used to be or I would n't hare passed out so sudden. But I don't want to take any credit away from you Regan. You are a hard-fisted scrapper 'and you got plenty of nerve. Even if I hated you which I don't I'd have to give you that much cred it." "You had me licked up to the very last second," Eddie said, gen erously. "You are both idiots." Marian declared, but somehow there was to sting In her words. She could call them idiots and make it sound like a compliment. They were surprised when the headlights of an autmoobile turn-o-' i-t'j the drlvv.-ny. Marian's father, unexpectedly, Had come home. A friend had driven him over from the station. Marian's mother had not returned, but would be back the next day.

Suddenly his eyes in the better li"ht lit upon Freeman's bruised and discolored face. -' f;ooliu"R. Tom! What on c " 't the matter with your '"'ui ieok like you've been fighting." ' ." Freeman lied. "I slipped 0:1 ths stairs at home this after noon and fell down. I Just drop ped over for a few minutes go ing home now." Somehow the atmosphere be came noticeably awkward. Free man was going. The fight and the return of Marian's father had spoiled Eddie's evening and he, too. was ready to go. Surely Marian would realize that he deserved another evening shortly in compensation. "I think I'll go along too," Eddie said. Marian made no hollow protest. "Well, I'm glad you dropped In. anyway." Mr. Thorndike excused himself and passed into the house. Eddie lingered a few steps behind Tom EXTEND THE AIDS OF YOUR SUMMER LIFE Keep Your Healthy Complexion by Getting Into the Open Every Day Sunlight Lamps, Temperately Used, Supply the Needed Ultra-Violet Rays.

The ceive any honorable gentleman of flush on Marian's face betrayed an inward excitement. "What was the matter with those two young fellows?" Mr. Thorndike asked, returning to the veranda from the house. "Ob, Just some of their foolish, ness." Marian said. "You might as well tell me the trnth." he said. As he passed behind her going to a chair, a hand softly caressed her hair. "They had a fight," she con fessed in a burst of frankness. "I didn't know It was going to happen there was nothing I could do to stop them. But it didn't happen here, thank Heav en! "Who won?" "Mr. Regan." "That's surprising. I shouldn't have thought he would give Tom any trouble at all. What did they fight about?" Marian's color deepened. "They didn't tell me," she said. "From what I got out of it they met at Locust Grove and got into an argument. Tom was knocked nnconcious and Eddie Mr. Re gan brought him here to the house. We. carried Tom upstairs and put Ice on him and held am monia under his nose until he came to. We were all frighten ed." "Let me get this straight." Mr. Thorndike said. incredulously. "You say Mr. Regan knocked Tom out why. they "didn't seem to be at all angry with each other. They even went away together like friends." "I think they both realized what Itiots they were." Marian explained. "Anyway, they shook hands and made up. I don't think there will be any more trou ble between them." She waited for her father to express satisfaction, but he was coldly silent. "It was a dreadful thing to hap pen, I know" Marion went on with a lowered Voice. "You'll never know what I went through while Tom was unconscious on the bed upstairs. I was afraid he might never wake up." "What were they fighting about. Marian?" "They didn't say. father." "It's no use trying to deceive me. child. They fought over you, didn't they?" Marian's voice sank. "I sup pose so." Mr. 'Thorndike compressed his lips and Bhook his head. "I knew we were breeding trouble when you let that Regan fellow come to this house. Tom Freeman is all right there's good blood there and he is a suit able friend for you. If you ever love Tom and want to marry him I wouldn't have a single objection In the world. We've known him all of his life, and, whatever his failings, he's a gentleman. But that other fellow this Regan he is all wrong." "The fact that Paradine took up with him proves it for me. Who Is he? He's a foreigner and the commonest kind of a man. Doubtless he is a rogue, too. Mar ian, we can't have him coming here any more." "I don't think you're quite fair, father." said her plaintive voice. "You don't know him at all." "That's Just it we dan't know who he is or where he came from. Chances are be sprang from the lowest level of society.

Try to keep the tan by getting into the open every day. There is quite a fad now for having a tanned skin. There are so many fads that dont appeal to me, I am actually happy when one which I can endorse comes along. In my opinion, the stimulation the skin has received from the in creased circulation of the blood, is a good thing. That is what the sun does for you.

But I must forbid any penniless adventurer coming here and taking advantage of all that is refined and delicate In you." "But I am not an neiress." she protested. "We are really poor people ourselves. I wouldn't at tract a fortune hunter." "That's not the point." her father objected. "He is beneath you and unsuitable in every way. I must put my foot down and forbid you receiving him under any circumstances." Suddenly. Marian's eyes grew larger and brighter reflected an unmistakable inner vigor of opinion. "If that's the way you feel." she said, her voice suddenly trem bling and passionate, "I'll put my foot down, too. I invited him to call and I'm not going to be bull ied about it. I like him better than any man I know and I'm going to see him as often and as freely as I like." (To be continued tomorrow) STRIBUXG WIX8 FIGHT KANSAS CITY, Aug. 20 (AP) W. L.

T REPRESENT NATION WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. (AP) Whether Lieutenant Al Williams, naval flier, will repre sent America In the Schneider cup race In England next month with his 'Mercury racing plane was in doubt tonight, with the final de termination depending upon Da vid S. Ingalls, assisfSht secretary of the navy for aeronautics, and Williams' financial backers. Failure of the flyer to get his craft from the water during the tests on the Severn river near Annapolis, Md., has brought ob jections from naval officials to his taking it abroad without prov ing its ability, and the $20,000 necessary for the trip will not be supplied by the navy.

Of. course it was Knarfs fault, as us ual. Every evening right after din ner the gentleman upstairs would sit down and, running bis fingers over its sleek black sides, make it sing for him. It had a high-pitch-, ed tone which sometimes sounded very close and loud, and some times very faint and far-off. It sang mostly of little rippling brooks and rustling leaves and such small pleasant things as nev er did a bit of harm to anyone.

Hanid wanted to know. "You're not supposed to watch a flute but to listen to it!" "If we watch it," Knarf replied "we may be able to catch one of the notes. Then, if we catch one, we can send it to somebody. It's very nice to be able to send a note." MiJ, Flor and Yam nodded In agreement. "It's very nice indeed." they sld. Hanid wasn't convinced. i "It's a different kind of note al together," she said. But as they had already started upstairs they didn't hear her.

When the knobs were lifted off the tiny openings in the flute's sides, the notes rushed forth. Each note had its own special opening and emerged loudly or faintly accord ing to how hard their neighbor blew. Not being accustomed to notic ing shadows, their neighbor went right on playing. Meanwhile Knarf, followed by MiJ, Flor, and Yam, sprang upon the flute. They took care not to trip over the fin gers as they peeked into the little openings, looking for the notes. They could see none, for the notes sped past so swiftly that they could only be heard.' "I'll go down and get one," Knarf said, letting himself into one of the openings. "Don't!" Hanid called up. "Something is sure to happen..' Knarf didn't heed her. He let himself down a bit farther. Unfor tunately Master Knarf was not quite small enougft to Blp through. He remained stuck mid way.

Instead the man gave a sharp pouf and blew the shadow boy into the flute. "Stop blowing!" Knarf shouted "Stop blowing at once!" Strange to relate, the wind sud denly died down.
