Leila Cane had r.pcctcd Ftirrcll to propose to her; ichcn he con fessea hta iot'a for Barbara, Leila agreea to help him, So Farrell tangles Barbara'a iveddiwj pinna by perauadinrj Mark to visit him in London the day set for the ceremony.

Chapter 18 BARBARA DESPERATE HpHAT'S a an interesting quite an Interesting piece or (rork. Isn't It?" Thft words came clearly Farrell thought that Barbara Quentic., what ever her extremity, would al ' ways speak with that chiselled Olearness; hut the lingering soft boss of voice had gone. It was the rolce of a woman, harsh with fear and grief, that said carefully and elearly how very technically Inter eating was this revealing portrait. A heart-wrenching vo!ce. . . , Arml tage dared not take his eyes from the floor. ears to them and to flx his mind upon the future, when his ease of life should have wiped all this mis ery from her heart. But her grief stabbed at him; and all he could do was to pace back the length of the room and put a deliberate foot across the portrait, obliterating it beyond repair. As yet he had given no clear thought to Leila, the living girl, his friend and ally, She stood only for one of the Impertinences which Lodely aimed at Barbara Quentln. That emerald, so fantastically set, must have been Leila's, first. Given by her to the artist, as a fee for the portrait? Or offered by the artist to his modol as a token, a souvoulr; rejected by her and re offered by him to his acknowledged love? Mentally, Arraitage broke Lode ly 'a neck, and dropped his remains from a high window into a back yard full of garbage. Then he re membered the man was a cripple. Barbara's sobs ceased and Arm! tago, with a final kick at the por trait, went back to the fire. He saw that she had taken off the pendant and that It dangled, at the end of its chain, from hr half-open hand. As he approached her, the hand relaxed entirely and, with a coiling gleam of platinum, the jew- Old Beliefs in Teaching Children Are Ruled Out In Ultra-Modern School asm r &as&J miMm4, "What about a cup of coffee?"

I that effect of sunlight, on the sand Is There's a favorite of mine! It's the back of King's Darn, seen through the blossom of the pear tree. The pear tree Is Is there's a beautiful pear treo " The desperate volco broke at last. He was still quite unable to look at her. He swung away and walked-, across the echoing boards to the window. Tho cotton curtain tore from Its rings as he dragged It back and leaned his forehead against the pane. He stood there for some minutes, Intently listening for a sound from her any sound. Ho felt Indifferent whether she cried or cursed or pitched to the floor, provided she broke down In some way. There teemed to be nothing to think about except perhaps that it had been too easy a victory, after all; a mere walk-over. He turned. There hod only been the faintest whisper of a move ment, but she was crouched, palms down, upon the floor gazing almost Tacantly at the portrait. The em erald at her throat swung within an inch of Its pain'-jd llkenoss. Armltage walked back across tho room and, bracing himself f.i;alnst the cupboard, stooped ovor her uud picked her up. Her head sagged against his arm, her faco had a greynoss that he did not like; but ahe was not unconscious. He stood Quite still, holding her easily, vaguely aware that she was not as heavy as she should be. Then she muttered "Hark." "Forget him," Jorkod Armltage. "Tou were nover his. You're mine. Don't you know it?" Sho turnod her face against his shoulder and began to sob terribly. He carried her to tho only chair tho room possessed, a wooden kitchen chair near the fire, ai'd put her Into It Sho snt there stiffly for a mo ment, then turned to loan hor fore head and hor crossed arms upon Its comfortless back. Her sobs went on, hard and ago nised. Armltage tried to close his el slid on to the boards beside her chair. "What about a cup of coffee In that efllclent-looklng kltuhen?" he suggestod. "I make extremely good coffee." She looked up, faintly smiling. Hor face was stained with tears and there was a mark on her lower lip where sho had bitten it noariy through; but her gaze was candid, grateful fundamentally uninterest ed In Him as a man. It was evident that sho had not heard what had been Jolted out of him by tho llrst uprush of her misery. She said: "I make excellent coffee, too, but I'm afraid I haven't any here. I suppose cocoa wouldn't do?" Farrell, looking down at her, shook his head no. He was afraid that ho might shatter this first mo ment in which she knew a need of him, however slight. She pointed to a corner. "There are deck chairs over there. Perhaps you'll bring one nearer the firo?" He fetched It, Installed her In It and took the chair she had vacat ed. Ho Bat astride It, his arms folded across the bnck as hers had been, but his head erect and his eyes intent upon her. "It isn't possible," she said, "to Judge Mark by normal standards." Sho was lying back in her chair, hor silks a wash of parl and Ivory in the glow of the poor little Are, her hair pure sllvor-gllt under the unshaded lamp. The crude lights laid shadows upon her face and upon her hands the Bhadows, thought Armltage, of her tears and her long endurances. He was in finitely moved. Talk of Lodely seemed to him an intrusion. "I don't intend to Judge him at nil," ho answered with Indifference. "He'll go his way. Leila Cane will go hers." He paused and added gently: "And we shall go ours." Sho did !iot return his gaze. She shook hor head slightly, her own eyes upon tho fire. "I shall go Murk's way, of course, with Mark. Hut I shall always re member how good you've been." (Core-lfli(, loss. Julia Clttt-Addams) B.irb.ir.i Qwentin fa shocked, to. morrow, by an unexpected proposal.

(AP) That "A is for epple" way of mastering tho alphabet Is "out." That's according to advanced peda gogical theories propounded these days In three nursery schools, two of which are run as part of public school systems, and believed to be pioneers In this connection. Also "Cinderella," "Little Red Rid ing Hood" and "Sleeping Beauty" are decreed as unfit literature for baby's first books. However, in these ultra-modern pre-kindergarten schools, children still lesm to count In the old-fashioned 1-2-3-4-5 way. But when it comes to learning their letters the youngsters absorb them Incidentally in words, such as "cat." Aa explained by Mrs. Hose H. Al- schuler, founder and staff director of the Franklin, the Wlnnetka and the Garden apartments nursery schools, fairy stories are not 'ruled out alto gether but are held over until the infant Is 4 or 5 years old and has some comprehension. Then, she explained, he Isn't terri fied and confused by the wolf that did more than appear on grandma's doorstep In the story of Little Red Riding Hood. The child's first stories, she de clared, should be about himself, his surroundings, the persons and ob jects that make up his world. These nursery schools are the out growth of Mrs. Alschulers educa tional work with her own rive chil dren. In 1925 the Franklin nursery school was opened in a room donated by the Chicago board of education In the Franklin elementary school. Within a year, by Invitation from the Wlnnetka public school superin tendent, a like school was opened In that suburb, where Mrs. Alschuler lives. Later a third was opened, in the Garden apartments, a development by the Rosenwald fund to better liv ing conditions among negroes. The teac,hers, of which there are generally two to each school, draw their salaries from support given by the, Chicago Woman's club, which sponsored the first local public school kindergarten, private dona tions and small . tuitions. Frequent deficits have been shouldered by Mrs. Alschuler. Patronize Hume Industry. Buy White law's Chocolates.

More than 600 little ones were visited by the Jolly fellow, through efforts of the Lady Li ons . The members work ed for weeks agthering toys, making and dressing dolls, and with the help of the local firemen, who spent days fixing springs and painting wagons, they revived the old-time faith in Santa Claus, The people of Medford responded wonderfully to the call for toys, Lady Lions announced today. The fire men and the Davis Transfer com pany spent a day and a half deliv ering packages In the vicinity of Medford. Donations were made by Mann's department store, Penney's and Newberry's. KMED and the Mall Tribune were also thanked to day for publicity given the project, and John Nledermeyer. manager of the recently closed Holly theater, for the matinee given for children, which brought In many toys.
