Mike Arno grasped his hud and
slapped him on the back.
"Kid," he grinned, ,yonre all1

York la 24 hours! Ill make Km

Eddie sat alone on the veran
da after his dinner. The moon to
night; he ( observed was a liltte
slower In rising than, last night.
Somewhere in the county seat,
probably in a hotel room filled
with cigarette smoke, Tom Free
man and Mike Arno Vere arguing
with Bcrnice. Upon . the' outcome
of that argument, he- felt, would
depend the answer to all of his
Immediate hopes. If they succeed
ed with Bernlce it would mean
the beginning of his run ofjack.
lie was gambler enough to feel
that way. u v .
While he valtsd he smoked one
cigarette after another. One thing
he intended to 4 wag fa cut down
on cigarettes. They stained his
fingers yellow and Marian would
not like that, even though she
never mentioned it. Yes, little
things like that would hare to be
checked up on.
Already, he was using much
less profanity. A gifl ljke Marian
deserves a guy a man- with
8 ease enough to respect her feel
ings about little things ... '
When the telephone rang he
knew it was either Freeman" or
A
did I tell you, Kid? It's In the
bag, she's all sei-get me? She
took it and she's feeling holy
hell! Wait a minute she's com
ing in the room now. I think she
wants to speak to. you.'.'
Bernice Veressi took the re
ceiver from Mike Arno and spoke
softly to Eddie.
"It's all right, Eddie," she said,
a light quaver in her voice. "Mike
and Mr. Freeman put me on the
right track. I'll' never forget you
Eddie, but you won't have to. wor
ry about me anymore." "
"Yes, we all get off on the
wrong foot sometimes," he said.
"But listen, Bernico you feel atU
right? Is everything all Jake with
you?"
"Don't worry aboftUtae, Eddie.
I'll be all right, on the level I'm
going to make a new start. Mike
says he's going to keepaa eye on
me. A good gvry MlkevfGOodbyo
dear.- ' '
Mike Arno recovered the tele
phone. "Listen, Kid," he said to
Eddie, 'I'm going to ride out of
tawn with her. There's "a midnight
train. Freemaniagoiog to drop
around and-ieFtay" bags with his
car,
mt Mike I thought you were
going to visit me a while."
"Nix! I made .my argument to
Bernice so strong that X sold my
self on the idea. She's an .outsider
down here and so ami I. So long,
Kid. See you in New York some
times." Before Eddie could protest.

Hike Arno hung up the receiver.
It was ended . . . bis last connec
tion with the New York mob . . .
Vaguely he felt a regret that he
wasn't agate to gee Mike Amo be
fore that peculiar personality de
parted for the North.
Somewhere in Mike Arno was
the material of a real man. And
Bernice, too she was by far more
good than evil.. Sometime, per
haps,, he would see them both
againbut they weren't the kind
of people he wanted Marian to
know. After all, there was a dif
ference in. people, a real differ
ence. The cruel fact was that some
clay was fine and some was eross.

"Oh, Eddie
called me up."
Tom. Freeman
-I know I had a call myself."
"Eddia, it's too wonderful!"
"Yes, it only everything else
would work out as fine"
He could hear her making little
catchy noises in her throat . . , .
"But it has! Eddie darling, I
took the whole thing up with mo
ther today. And after I heard
from Tom I made her take father
out in the garden there's an old
bench there and mother she
made him see the light . . ."
Eddie's heart was scarcely beat
ing! He knew, with unerring in
stinct, that tears were in her beau
tiful eyes. ... '
They just came in the house,
dear not five minutes ago. Fath
er didn't say a word, he just put
his arms aruond me and didn't

" A lump in Eddie's throat swell
ed until he could hardly speak,
but he managed a jerky sentence:

To eat. sleep aad entertain in
a single room was once considered
a rather Bohemian way of living.
Only arty" or ' poverty stricken
couples led this makeshift exist
ence, and it wasn't particularly
comfortable, though it might be
quaint. Housekeeping articles had
to be concealed when not la use.
And, so gasplates appeared briefly
at meal time and miraculously
from closets, bathrooms or book
case. What looked like an old
piano might be anything from a
folding bed to a china closet. And
screens were indispensable.
However, far from being old
fashioned, the one-room idea has
grown in poularity, and today it is
by no means the cheapest way of
living. la fact, a friend who re
cently went apartment-bunting In
a fashionable district was told by
a candid realtor that he couldn't
supply the demand for one-room
apartments, bnt that five and six
room places at the same rental
were a drug on the market.
There Is a reason In tact sev
eral. When a wife remains in busi
ness, as a growing number do, the
1 one-room apartment is the simpl
! est solution to easy housekeeping.
Also, it is in the long run less ex
pensive than renting and furnish
ing larger quarters. And many
business folk who hare to be to
the city all week earning their liv
ing are now aiming toward actual
ownership of a real home a
house in the country or the sub
urbs. That means saving money
and energy to put into the "farm"
at week-ends and treating the
home in town as a hotel room.
Builders are cooperating ener
getically and ingeniously with this
idea. The one-room modern apart
ment may be small but If Is com

knew that he4ws doing hwwhizs

"Fly back!" the others shouted
after him. "Fly back!"
N But he didn't. He just flew on
and on until he fell into a chim
ney. And that was the end of his
flight.
