Aa rale, abe eat up, propped with pil lows, and chatted while be dressed. When be waa ready for departure, ah thrust her feel Into pantoufles and flung on a neglige, accompany- - lng him to the hall to take farewell. He bad fetched her pantoufles nd fitted them to her feet She aat dangling her legs oyer the edge of the bed, regarding him. "Don't go, Cllva. Where do you go?" "In search of work, along with the rest of th unemployed." "Help me, Cllve." Bhe leaned her head on one aide. "I never realised till last night how bitterly you resent having nothing to do. - ''It wasn't mentioned," he said. "It nerer is. But It's the soreness that distorts everything." . He began to pace. "For a man marriage Isn't a ca- . reer. Because you have money you seem to think It ought to be. At the moment I may be only a small po tato. The little I earn or don't earn mayn't make much difference. What I am today I waa when we married. You appeared to think me worth whll " "I'm acknowledging all that" She nodded. "My mistake But perhaps you haven't the patience to Us ten." "Fire ahead." He consulted his watch. "My mistake has been that Fve been afraid to sympathise. Sympa thy la ao discouraging." He planted himself at the foot of the bed. "Waa that the reason t" "Hand me my comb; It's on the dressing-table. Why wouldn't It be the reason! Tour future's mine.' Having presented her with the comb, he seated himself beside her. "That's the truest word you've spoken alnce we were married." "And you've been waiting to hear me speak It!" "Stop tugging at your hair," he commanded. "This Is the greatest moment of our Urea. My future your future! Why the dickens didn't you say It sooner? You're acted aa though you wora th trou sers and I had no future. I can fight dow that I know It' for you I'm agbtlng." "Don't need to." She threw blm tricky smile. "Ia there nigger in th wood pile!" "No nigger, little boy. Only that your wife's found you a Job while you re been searching." "Hal" He considered. "How did you And It!" "Someone asked me It yon were tree. This somebody estimates your ability very highly. No good asking bis name; he doesn't want to figure. you're to go to an address that I'll give you. I don't mind telling you that the salary's twice what you were earning." "I'm not worth ten thousand, Santa." "Yon make ms tired, Cllve. You'r worth what anyona will pay you. "There must Do strings." "Only that you're not to ask who Upped.me off to send you." "I he your father? Because, If "If ao I Should hav broken our compact No, he Isn't my father. I harent breathed a word to anyono that you're strapped. This offer came to me out of a clear sky." Whon?" (.f That's my eecrefv i "But yon know who behind It!" "I'm not even allowed to admit that You're to go to a cortaln ad dress. If you're not satisfied " "No harm In applying," be con ceded. Contrary to bis usual reception, he waa shown In at once. An alert youngish man, probably ton years cider than himself, rose to greet him. - "It's a pleaaur to meet you, Mr. Doncaster." JUNIORS' FROLIC GREAT SUCCESS By Botible tvanleve.

You're the executive In a thousand we've been looking for." It aounded Improbable, but Cllve waa sufficiently human to feel com plimented. "At the start I must appear foot lsb; I haven't an Idea what will be my duties." "We deal In securities. Work along lines similar to those of yonr late .employers. Handle estates. Examine Investment." "But why you should have chosen mer "Does that matter? How about walking round to my club?" It was an Impressive lunch that his host ordered. Increasingly Cllve suspected that he waa being flattered. That there was a game be was convinced when the salary was mentioned ten thousand dol lars; the precise sum that Santa had stated. "Then we may expect yon tomor row?" bis host asked at parting. "Let me sleep over It" "As you like. I'd hoped you would decide at once." j "I don't want to appear ungra cious," Cllve hesitated. 1 "We'll consider no one else till we hear from you." . Aa ills key turned In the latch Santa opened to him. She hailed him as a conquering hero. i "Hello, big sbotl How does It feel to be Important?" ; "Like a fairy-tale. It would If I'd accepted." "You mean you've refused?" "Im to give my answer tomor row." . "But Cllve, you can't afford to be high-hat Give It today. Every thing will be settled." "Guess I'll wait till tomorrow." He escaped down the passage to the bedroom. High-hat good heavens! Whon It came to affording, be couldn't afford to be married. He conjured to himself what ten thousand dol lars a year would mean to him: self-respect, It he could earn It honestly. But why the pressure? Why the secrocy? Santa could put him wise. With coaxing she would tell him. Throughout dinner she didn't broach the subject After dinner she played patience, while he feigned to read. The clock struck nine. She yawned and bundled her cards together. The end of a perfect dayl And so to bed." He glanced from his book as she pecked bis forehead. "What's wrong?" "Nothing." She gasel down se renely. ; 'But there Is. Why so much mystery? Having done me a good turn, you spoil It by treating me as an imbecile." "Darling, you're nervously ex hausted. You see the ghosts that ain't When you've cinched that Job tomorrow wc. must run down for a change to Atlantic City." Kissing tho tips of her Angers. she retreated. He resumed his book, postponing the curtain-lecture which ha felt sure awaited blm. In that she tooled him. At eleven when he retired she waa peacefully sleeping. According to routine, having breakfasted, clad In negligee she accompanied him to the threshold. With the meekness of a saint she kissed him dutifully. j The door had closed. He tapped for re-entranco. J What Is It?" She stood facinr him. , i This Is absurd." I agree. You're too difficult for anything." .. ! You're the one who's difficult' Santa. You're trying to browbeat me Into obeying you as though I were a kid In short pants. Yon know something yon don't dare tell me?" She stared hack In dumb appeal. ' "You don't dare tell me, because II you did I wouldn't accept" She drew her wrap closer. "And for your obstinacy there' only one reason: you hate to place yourself undor an obligation to your WHO." j Hei fumbled for words. "If a hus band's always obeying hi wife's orders, he never gets time to be himself." "You're had two months with nothing to do but be yourself." Careful, Santa. That'a a left over from your flrat marriage.'' i". "Again my first marriage!" Tears filled her eyes. Without a backward look he darted for th elevator. ' ..

IS CHEAP AS COAL IOWA TESTS PROVE AMES, Xy lleu of coal -(AP) Burning corn In Is no joke with Iowa. farmer. , " It U m much a reality that the Iowa State college experiment station has made teats to discover Its practi cality, heating values, and. compari son to coal, and has uncovered these facta: Iowa fanners can burn corn Just as cheaply as Iowa coal, more cheap ly than they can burn out-of-state coal, and much more cheaply than anthracite. It may, the station points out, ,b more profitable to feed the corn to stock and market It as meat In th ' J spring, or more convenient to sell corn and buy the coal. Nevertheless, the following figures on beating . values are offered: T One hundred and forty-one pounds of .ear corn with 8 per cent moisture, has the same heating value as 100 pounds of Iowa coal In other words 40 bushels of corn (70 pounds psr bushel) Is equal to ft. ton of low coal. - About 47 bushels of corn equal ton of out-of-state coal.
