Newspaper Page TextTHE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM. OREGON impatiently at such time. Kitty had heard her berate David. "You haven't done a bit of work to day. I can tell by the hang of your head. Are you going to be content all your life with a column of drib ble for the Times? Well, If you are, go on home." And David had gone, his face angry, slamming the door behind him. Kitty had come to know, with some excitement, that David's work was the writing of a novel. But neither he nor Dorcas talked about it except, now and then, to ex change some pertinent comment concerning It, or a question and a brief answer, or often, on Dorcas' part, a sharp rebuke. It seemed to be something between the two of them and Kitty sensed that Dorcas cared a great deal about It; she'd seen the look in her eyes when David went out, slamming the door behind him, a aoriy, tender look. Kitty, even In her most Intimate moments with Dorcas never touch ed on her own discouragement. She could tell David how frightfully tired she got. And with David she could talk of Car. David hadn't said anything about self respect. David's sympathy was different from Dorcas'. Four blocks from Stratum's was the Times building. As Kitty reached It David stepped from the wide entrance way and Joined her, Just as he met her nearly ever;' evening, making the encounter seem to happen without any plan ning. And always on the instant of seeing him, tall and lanky, a little shabby, his hat pulled down over his eyes, Kitty felt little rush of gladness. "Well, ho did It go today?" "Oh, better." Her eyes clung to David's face. She slipped her hand through his arm. "David, did you see him today? Hear anything?" (To Be Continued i IUI jrrv rederic Q, How many bull rings are there In Spain? How long does m bull fight last? D. W. A. There are about S50 bull rings In Spain. About 1500 bulls and 6500 horses are killed each year In the bull fights. But fights usually form the program for one attendance. Q Do the rules of Auction or Con tract give a player the right to de mand a new deal if he has neither an Aoe nor a face card? M. O. M. A. Under a chapter called Absur dities, Milton C. Work writes at length about this notion. He says that there has never been a rule In Whist, Bridge or Auction which makes such a provision. Contract, the newest form of the game doe6 not have such a rule. Q. What Is considered the coldest part of the country the year 'round? F. B. D. A. The Weather Bureau says that It cannot state the exact locations of the coldest points In the United 8tates, but It is believed that the northern portion of North Dakota and the eastern portion of Montana KITTY by JANE Chapter 16 WHILE KITTY WAITS "You have to hang on to your self respect or you're nowhere," Dorcas said finally, concisely. "Now it's un to you to see It thmuph But vou don't have to plan anything tonight. Tomorrow'll be time enougn. Leis get ui u. rn fix von on the couch here." She sprang up and vigorously fell to work transforming the couch into a bed, folding covers, spread ini sheets and blankets. She tucked the covers about Kitty's shoulders and the touch of her hand was warming and re assuring. Like a weary child Kitty snuggled further down under the soft blankets. The embers of the flie made fingers of light across the darkened room. Through the half open door of Dorcas' bedroom Kitty could sec her moving back and forth. A blessed drowsiness enwrapped her. Tomorrow, they'd plan things out. Dorcas would help her. But tomorrow Gur would come for her, of course! It was closing time at Stratton's department store, three weeks later. The last minute shoppers had hur ried oft. The salesclerka were put ting away the stock, working furi ously against precious time. No. 12 in the sportswear depart' ment was hanging tweed ensembles in a case. Her unaccustomed fin gers made slow work of It and the other girls, folding sweaters and blouses, watched her and smiled slyly at one another. No. 12 was new and It was giime to leave to a new one the Job of hanging the suits away. It took longer. A bright eyed, blonde girl passing No. 12, hesitated. "Gee, don't both Ir so much. Lee's gone." She caught up an armful of the garments and swung them on to the bar of the case. "Rotten day, wasn't It?" No. 12 knew Josle Price was try ing to be friendly. Her tired face flushed gratefully. She agreed that it had been a rotten day. - "Bet you're dead." Josle went on. 'My feet used to hurt as If they had bolls on 'em. But you get used to It. I guess you get used to mast any thing unless it's Lee's tongue, after the ad bunch've taken her for a ride. Anyway, you don't have to mind that, do you? Diiln t she take you into her office?" Miss Lee, the head of the depart ment, hnd taken No. 12 Into her office while she checked over new stock. But Just then No. 12 was too tired to wonder why Josle put the question, to read Into It the Jeal ousy with which each snloscleik ob served any distinction paid to any s UNDOWN TORIES THE WONDERFUL HORSE By MARY GRAHAM llONNER Surprises, the Magic Maker, sent this note to John and Peggy: The pilot Is coming for you. I've stirred the magic preparation In the cauldron that turns the time ahead. Be ready In one hour." They went down to the beginning lf th Mil noli, nnt tt.. which had "John" written upon It had come for them. They went up In the air until they landed at the enormous circus grounds, built upon a very large platform attached to a dirigible. The Magic Maker had certainly turned the time ahead when they could see a circus held up in the air! There was a place, too, for the planes which kept landing now from II directions. Now there were distant sounds of music, and a succession of planes landed which belonged to the circus. There were many animals, many performers, and John and Pegay joined a number of children who were rushing to see the planes un load. The planes were painted in a most magnificent manner with pictures of wild animals. The band was very magnificent, but the great excite ment was the horse. The people were more exclled about the horse than anything else. In fact, before the people weut into the big tent they took a long look at tht home In a special tent of his own. ! "Come along." the pilot called. "I ham the tickets and the allow Is bout to commence!" The? went Inside the big tent at once. lasl are the places on the whole having the greatest cold. Q.

"Oh, well, she's taken us all In, one time or another." They took their wraps from their lockers. Josle Jammed a tight lit tle red hat down over her head, ar ranged crescents of blonde hair at each temple, applied powder to her nose and a daub of scarlet to her lips. She drew her coat tightly about her thin hips, holding It there with crossed arms. "Taking the street car home?" Her eves were pointed with cuiios ity. "No. I walk home." "Well, by by. Miss Brandon. See you tomorrow." "Good night, Miss Price." "Oh, make It Josie!" the friendly Josle called over a hunched shoul der. Stratton's knew No. 12 as Kath- erinc Brandon. As she walked out into the chill ed dusk. Kitty felt a little cheered by Josle's advances. Until today the girls in her department had left her alone. Her own fault, of course she'd wanted to be friendly, but in her awkwardness she'd felt shy, and probably they'd taken that tor standoffishncss. Josie was a leading spirit In the sportswear department. She was good natured, sympathetic and ready with a Joke, mimicked her customers when they departed, ban tered with the floormen. Every morning she regaled her associates with her experiences of the evening before. Dates and boy-friends made the substance of her easy chatter. She was alert in her work, ap proaching shoppers with an attcn tlveness that held them and more often than not sold something to them. This and the fact that she had been In Stratton's for four years, beginning at the bundle desk gave her an unofficial seniority over the others. Kitty had recognised that seniority. Thinking of Josie. she walked swiftly, liking the touch of the cool air against her tired face. Like Josie and the hundreds of others who had left Stratton's before her, she felt a sense of lightness with the day behind her. At this hour even the pain in her heart lifted a little. Most of all she walked swiftly because she was going back to Kctchum street and Ketchum street meant to Dorcas' room with its lamplight and its flic Dorcas her self. It had been three weeks since that night David had taken her to Dorcas, infinitely longer when she measured it in heartache. Gar had not tried to find her. He must know where she was Pound knew and must have told htm. Dorcas had taken her to Strat ton's. Dorcas knew the head of the personnel there. The wages Strat ton's paid her gave her a meager independence. She was living In a small room on the same floor as Do rem' apartment. Kitty knew now that Dorcas owned the old house on Ketehum street. She knew that Mrs. Gentle to whom she paid her week's rent only acted as Dorcas' agent. David had told her about Mrs. Gentle. One day Dorcas had found her, des titute, evicted with her two chil dren from a basement apartment in block and had taken her in. "She can get on U someone Just gives her a hand." David had quoted Dorcas as saying. And Mrs. Gentle, installed In the big kitchen of the old house, sleeping In what once had been the dining room, had got ten on. Just as Emu Schelllng was getting on, Kitty herself. Kilty had met others In Dorcas' apartment, to whom she knew Dorcas had given a hand. Young Mark Qulnn who worked In a ga rage and went to art classes at night, Leah Moore, a -lawyer. 30. cynical, brilliant of intellect, decry ing sentiment, sneering at any Ideals and yet somehow softening to humanncss afier an evening around Dorcas' fire; Max Adler, sensitive faced, dark browed Jew, shouting communism yet arrogant himself. He was a violinist. It was Dorcas who hd secured for him a place In the Palace theater orchestra. Per haps Dorcas had helped them all, In one way or another, to renin their self respect. In the una and aowns oi iverytnmg eac of them was- doliiK, Dorcas showed a deep Interest. But she would not tolerate whining, "Oh, stand up!" she'd cry LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE OH.
