THE POINTED BOX
I A T one that night Bob nurd the
H careful closing ot that door of
Marsha't room which led to the halL
Be wondered where aha was going
and he hoped the long, upper hall
was warm enough to make her mi
gration aafe.
People who were reduced took
eolda, he realized, and colds, for the
run-down, developed to worse all-
menu.
He paced his room aa he tried to
recall how high the fire In the li
brary bad been when he left It. Bo
could not remember and tbe failure
to remember worried him absurdly.
She might be going to tbe library
to get a certain book. She wonld
stand by the shelves, hunting It.
She would shiver and It would be
gin; that cold.
Be considered following her, and
dismissed tbe idea. She would not
like it. Sbe would most probably see
his following ber as a violent sort ot
Intrusion. No doubt It would be
that, as things were between them;
a violent sort of Intrusion.
Be began to undress. On the mor
row he would tell Bartholomew to
ee that the library lire was left, the
last thing at night, burning high.
iThen if she would wander around In
this manner (he felt a sharp Irrita
tion) she would be aa aafe as might
be. under the circumstances.
Hours In bed were a substitute
(or sleep; the next thing, as a re
storative, to sleep, It sleep would
not come. Be'd have to tell her so
and Imperatively.
She was doing nothing to help
herself to grow strong. And ahe was
far from well. It seemed aa If ahe
didn't care what happened to her.
"They are the damndest!" he mut
tered half aloud and violently;
thinking of women.
Be looked at his watch before he
lay down. It was, he saw, twenty
minutes before two. What tbe devil
as she doing? Probably killing
herself; taking tbe first step toward
killing herself any wayl
Be lay, with the Light-light on.
strotched on his bed, staring at the
coiling, mill frowning. Balf past
two, he saw when be next looked at
his watcb. Well, he would give her
twenty more minutes and then be
would follow her whether she liked
It or not.
TIE turned on his side, miserably
conscious of tbe discomfort of
the best bed he bad known In
months, and propped on an elbow
he looked on tbe face of bis watcb,
listening keenly; Ten minutes
more and he would get up, find her
end tell her frankly what he
thought ot her crlmlLal negligence
In her care of herself.
It had been years since he had
suffered any such sweep of over
mastering Irritation, anger. Be did
not know that the most even tern
pored men on earth suffer this when
the one woman menaces herself,
her health, by neglect or by taking
chances.
The ten minutes wors up. He
atriigglod from bed with a sharp
suddenoss that was made by his
strain; shoved foet Into slippers
and, as ha moved toward his door,
(tot Into Ids dressing gown he had
picked up on the fly.
The upper hall, lit by a small
nlght-llsht, was a place ot gray and
It was chill. Be would say, aa pa
tiently ar he could and he must
not lose his head "You've been up
close to two hours; don't you real
he anything of what a chill might
mean to you?"
He pausod. There was a line of
light beneath his mother's bedroom
door. He suffered a moment's shock,
then, with readjustment, he realised
that Marsha was In the room. He
did not like It, even ber habit of
going there by day; It seemed to
him morbid, depressing for her;
wrong.
TTI5 considered tapping upon the
-1 door to diamine It. It might
frighten her badly, lie would open
the door, speak gently. She would
see htm Immediately, be decided.
Softly he opened the door; for
ovoral long moments ha stood at
the threshold without speaking.

Be saw her, back toward him;
her abundaut, curling hair around

slipped to leave one shoulder bare;
he aaw the whiteness of her skin

Her other hand still rested upon
the box sbo had boo., working to

other day that held the treasures
which had belongod to Bob's
mother. They were the denrost
things hla mother had owned, he
knew, and things she bad wished
to bide from others' eyes. Even be
had never seen that which was In
the painted box.
Ho saw the color drain from Mar
sha's face; ho saw her sway; her
eyes, darkened by frlgh' were fixed
on his eyes, and they did not waver.
He moved toward her. still smil

She moistened bor lips before an

"What were you doing?"
"I was trying to get the box

CLEVELAND, Ohio. (OT) "Young
America no longer Idealizes heroes of
the, wild west. Their hero today le
the flying ace who la breaking speed
and endurance records." said Colonel
Roscoa Turner, very much an ace
himself, when Interviewed here.
Cu'oi': Turner said that since

mystoiy tha', enveloped aviation for
the oldMu)er, they should be encour
aged to build model planes.
Stanley Vestal, author of books

ceived an urgent request recently for
the return of Sitting Bull's "medi
cine bundle," a gift to Vestal from
the Sioux. The Indians wanted to
break the drought with It!
