PAGE SIX ; THE CAPJTAI; JOURNAL. SALEM, OREGON MONDAY, JULY 21, 1930 LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE Old Sill in-; Bull By Harold Cray by Mary Dalilberfj Chapter 6 "SO.MEWHEKK IN FRANCE" The summer dragged tor Dagger Her Howard's departure. Every where memories ol him confronted her. There was a carefully -worded letter from him, too, but no refer ence to what had passed between them. "Am sailing on the Baltic Wed nesday," he concluded. He signed himself, "your friend, Blaine Howard." The letter established definitely their separation. He was going one way, perhaps to the death that had taken millions of men. What fate awaited her? Before Dagger realized It, the day was at hand to return to the con vent in 1 Paso. The serenity and peace that dwelt behind its walls were tem porarily soothing to Dagger, but soon their spell was dissipated. Wise Mother Seraphina presently realized the difficulty of her favor ed pupil, and summoned Dagger to her plainly furnished cell. 'What Is this, child?" asked the old nun. "I find you reported for pertness by Bister Veronica and It was only three days ago Sister Agnes made the same complaint." "They're o stupid," scowled Dagger. "That Is, Sister Veronica Is. Sister Agnes was well she said X shouldn't tell Lou Anne she didn't know what she was talking about." "Ahl" A faint twinkle struggled for mastery In the dim eyes masked by a network of wrinkles. "But perhaps Lou Anne " "Oh. but she didn't know. Mother Seraphina t She's dumb. It was whether we I mean women could love a man more than the Church." The twinkle died in the Mother Superior's eyes. "That la a grave subject for a young person to discuss, my dear," she answered. "How did you and Lou Anne dlsgree?" "Oh, I said, of course, you could love a man more than the Qhurch more than anything. You can, you know!" "I fear I do not," returned Mother Seraphina. "And as for the pert ness, you will write me an essay on deportment. You have some years ahead of you before you are fitted to criticize your elders and Instruc tors." Dagger blushed furiously. "I suppose I'm silly,' she snapped; "but I think I know more about ulgcbra right now than Sis ter Veronica." "Really?" smiled Mother Sera phina. "It seems to me you should make use of such talent." "How?1' "Why, I mlnht give you a class of the younger children." . "But I hate teaching," exclaimed Da'-iHcr, dismayed. "Possibly, you will appreciate Sister Veronica's troubles after your experience," the Mother Superior answered. "Oh, I'll do it, if you want me to." 'You are unhappy, child?" the old nun queried. "Not very happy, anyway," Dag ger rapped curtly. "Will It ease your pain to speak of it?" "No. No use." And half-apologetic for her abruptness: "I'm not going to let it bother me. Dick Well ing said you could make unhappl ncss help you, if you tried hard enoush. I'm trying." Mother Seraphina's hand stretch ed out involuntarily over the arro gant black head. "God bless you, child." she said. It Is ill to be young, and in sor row. But if sorrow you must, treat yourself as your friend advised. Bend the sorrow to your will. That way lies the peace that Is greater than happiness, the peace our Lord said was beyond understanding." Darter's eyes were moist tin she went downstairs, and in the chapel she knelt resolutely, determined to cudgel wilfulness from her spirit; but her closed eyes only conjured up a vision of Howard. Small wonder that when she took over the algebra class the following afternoon she was absent and dis trait. Was It necessary for the girls to be so unutterably dumb? "No, no, Jane, don't you see It couldn't work out that way? Bit down, Hel en, I'll have to let someone else try." The second day she blew up com pletely, stormed from the classroom and went straight to Mother Sera phina. "I'm no good, X reckon," she said bluntly. "And are you prepared to be more charitable in your view of Sister Veronica?" asked the nun. "If you mean, do I understand It isn't easy to teach yes, Mother Seraphina. But if I must say I'm sorry for being angry at her, I'm not. She really is stupid, herself. -She has taught you for several years, hasn't she?" "Yes." "All that you know of mathema tics?" "Ye-es." "Do you see, child? For your knowledge, such as It Is, you are in debt to Sister Veronica, as to many other people. I should say you owe an apology to Sister Veronica, and to the class you have abandon ed." "I do," agreed Dagger, scrambling up. "But will you let me off teach ing? I'll do anything, any penance you set me. But please don't make me teach." Her next news of Howard was not received until late in the win ter, when Dick had a letter from him with the cryptic heading "Somewhere in France." the rough paper, the purple of the indelible pencil, the censor's stamp, were so many Invitations to her imagina tion. "Been strafed a couple of times," Howard wrote. "We've done a bit, too. The fighting isn't as bad as the mud and the wet. But we are look ing forward to the Spring when the big drive should start." At the end of the sheet a para graph: "ilemember me to Dagger and Jim Marley and everyone at the ranch." And scrawled along one side: "Tell D. I'll send her a souvenir first time we move forward." He hadn't forgotten her! tTo Be Continued) COUNCIL TO MEET Scio A special meeting of the Seio town council is to be held Fri day evening, uuiy 25 for the con sideration of bids for drilling a well, and for other matters pertaining to city business.
