Peddler of Dreams
By PEGGY DERN
(Chapter 3)
Felicity had had a good many
qualms about starting off for Flor
ida In a fourth-hand trailer and a
luth-or fiixth-hand car. But sue
had been so desperate. New York
In winter, -huddled in a cheap East
Side tenement with the children
needing heavy clothes, good nour-
ismng looa ana men juien naa
come to them, under nourished,
frightened half out of her baby
wit by the hob-goblin tales of the
old woman to whom her mother
had given her, while Delorls, the
mother, a burlesque star, followed
her arduous profession.
Only the children's need could
ever have persuaded Felicity to take
the step she took then. She had
dressed in her best which was
pretty bad and she had gone to
ine isroaaway on ices 01 a ueaii
of the theater. Charles Drummond
' who was nearlng seventy yet still
' actively In harness. Charles Drum-
roond, who had taken a lovely girl
of sixteen and moulded her into
t an idol of Broadwav who. at twenty
' had all but broken Drummond's
' heart bv elonlnz with the ftood-
looking Juvenile lead in her new
4 ahow. That girl had been Felicity's
j mother, Hope Bannister; the good-
looking juvenile had been Burton
' Home, who was, in Drummond's
' opinion, a "ham ' of very poor quality.
Drummond's love for Hope had
been great enough to make him
forgive the blow she had dealt him.
Ij For five years he helped her in her
; bitter fight to lift Burton to her
t own pinnacle of success. Burton
i Home had a profile, an athletic
build, a delightful manner, and a
' smile; but, unfortunately for the
J adoring Hope's dreams, he had
f nothing else, not even stability of
character.
When Felicity was born a year
after her marriage, Hope had ask-
ed Drummond to be the child's
, godfather. Drummond had done
, more; he had transferred a great
t deal of his love for Hope to her
" smau daugntcr. That love had
been great enough to be spread
, lour years later to nope is son, ua
? son. Hope had died when Jason
was born, and Drummond had nevei
fomlven Burton Home who. the
night of Hope's death, had been
drunk in the tawdry apartment ol
, a chorus girl.
, Drummond's interest in the chil-
dren had provided them with an
education. As much as they would
Z accept. He would have done a
, great deal for them, but he could
. not conceal his contempt for Bur-
ton. Once this had come out In
the open, Jason and Felicity had
' stiffly refused to accept any more
: help from him.
, But nowthe doctor said that
T EUen must not spend the winter
in New York; that the other chil
' dren should be out of the chill.
' dank tenement, away from the cold
; weather; that they must have good
i. nourishing food. And Felicity had
known there was only one thing
to do. She had gone to Charles
1 Drummond.
Drummond had listened to her
quietly and when she had put a
little shabby leather box on the
table before him, his hand had
shaken a little as he touched it.
J Inside that box, he knew, there
, was a jeweled bracelet he him
, self had given Hope as a memento
Of her first Broadway success.
1 I wouldn't sell it for anything
in the world," Felicity told him,
her voice shaken. "She loved H, and
it's all I've got left of her. But
I thought If well, If you'd lend
me a thousand dollars and keep
the bracelet as security"
"And what makes you think I'd
, need security for a loan to you,
. Felicity?" Drummond snld grimly
"You wouldn't, Uncle Charles.
It's for my own self-respect," she
" told him steadily. "And maybe I
won't be able to pay the money
back. I might not, you know. But
if you had the bracelet, I wouldn't
worry so much.1
I can't imagine your father
- overlooking this all these years."
Drummon could have bitten his
tongue the next moment, but Fe
licity stiffened and the color draln-
J ed from her face.
. "He didn't know T had It," she
said, stiffly. "And anyway, it's mine
Mother gave it to me the night
the night Jay was born."
Drummond's finger pre.vsrd the
catch of the worn leather case
and It snapped open. He looked
down at the Jeweled bauble. Bud'
deiily his eyes sharpened and he
lifted it out to the light. But
Quickly he controlled himself.
Felicity mustn't dream that this
was a clumsy Imitation, worth not
more than ten or fifteen dollars.
His heart burned with rage against
that charming, graceless scamp,
her father. And he wrote her a
check for a thousand dollars.
"Remember, if this Isn't enough,1
he told her when she was leaving.
"the bracelet is worm a good deal
more. You have only to wire me."
"It will be enough it will be
plenty," she assured him eagerly,
against the lump in her throat.
' Thank you. Uncle Charles."
She had stood on tiptoe and
impulsively her lips had touched
his cheek. And then she was
gone. Drummon had stood in
the door of his office for a long
moment alter tne elevator door
closed behind her; and there
was a mistiness in his faded eyes
as he turned at last, the case
holding the cheap imitation of
beauty in his hands. His hands
shook a little as he opened his
old-fashioned wall safe, drew a key
from his Docket, and unlocked a
small drawer in which he placed
tne worn leatner case.
The idea of buying a trailer and
a car and going to Florida for the
winter had occurred to Felicity as
a brilliant Inspiration on a day
when she and the children were
returning from the park and had
stopped to admire a window dis
play of trailers in a Columbus Circle
agency. But the purchase of even a
fourth-hand trailer and an equally
aged car had taken more of her
money than she had planned, and
she had been a little panic-stricken
mai.nigni wnen Garrett Forbes nad
offered her a share in his adventure.

Baby Chicks Burned
And Brooder Lost
Silverton Two hundred baby
chicks were burned to death
and the brooder a complete loss
at the home of Fred Warnock

brooder.
The volunteer firemen re
sponded to the call but arrived
too late to save 'the brooder
house, but were able to protect
other near-by buildings of the
farm home.
