Her father, a reepectea email town lawyer whose incomt has dwindled sadly, loins then and the conuersatton veers to Sally's )ob as Ill-year-old Ray comes to the breakfast table. Chapter Two In The Editorial Room RAY WARREN gulped down bis second cup of coffee end folded the rest of the egg into sandwich, while his mother looked on disap provingly. He was dark, handsome boy, rather slight as yet and full of promise, if his high spirits could be turned Into the right channel. He was studying hard now for a scholar ship which would take him away to college and a pre-medlca! course. Watching him eat and read. Sally thought he might as well be eating sawdust as biscuits and omelet. "You ought to eat more. Ray " Mrs. Warren complained. "You need plenty of good food while you're growing" "Don't worry about me. Mom, I'm always stuffing from morning till night- I've got my pocket full of pea nuts now. So long" He gave his mother a hasty kiss and ran out. Adelaide Warren s eyes fol lowed him adoringly. "Don't you think he looks thin. Bally?" "He's Just growing fast," comforted Bally. "1 think he's handsome and fine going to be a good doctor one of theso days If wo keep nlm on the track, and a heart-breaker besides." "I hope he won't marry for a long time, if ever." said Mrs. Warren sadly. "Well, I'm going to, and you might s well get used to the Idea," said Tip Warren, coming In unexpectedly and lifting her mother clear of the floor in a quick hug. "Tip. you little wretch, let mother go!" said Sally, coming to Adelaide's rescue. "Go and play with Dad you know he likes It." "Of course he does," said Tip. kiss ing Robert Warren's bald spot, and taking away his paper. "How much money have we made while wo slept. Dsd?" "Nona none at all," said her father with a sigh. "Never mind." said Tip. attacking the breakfast with good appetite, "If no cne handsome comes along, I'll marry a rich man and save the fam ily" , 'Tip," murmured her mother dis approvingly, but the look she gave Ray's twin was anything but harsh. Nobody could ever be very cross with Tip. who was dark like Ray, but small and vivid, like some of the pictures of the Warren women, who had been belles of Warrcnton for fenerations. i orbit! Tip To Fly I' 'VT'HILE you're horrified. I may as " well tell you I'm going up with Duke Adams In his new plane this rvenlng," said Tip calmly. "You re not! said her nother. "Robert, forbid ler to go. "If Sally goes up with ferry Maynord, I don e why I can t go up and lead Tip, who's not old enough to know better, to that old garage to take what's left." "Motherl" Sally's face was stricken. "You don't you dont think that about me!" "Of course she doesn't," said Tip, pushing back her ehalr. "She's only mad with me and she's taking It out on you. By-by " Tip blew them a kiss and went off "heerfully. Family rows never -.v-orried her, so long as she had her vay. "Don't you bother with the dishes,' said Mrs. Warren, without looking at Sally. "I'm sorry 1 said what 1 did about you and and that boy. Ton sure I didn't mean any harm." "That's all right," said Sally, warm ing toward her stepmother, for Ade laide Warren rarely admitted that she was In the wrong. "But 1 will run along. I don't want to be Ut tha first morning." She started out, then turned back Impulsively "Mother, If It will make you feel better, l'U promise not to go up with Terry any more without asking you and Dad first." "If you would, Sally," said Mrs. Warren, looking relieved. "I declare. Tip worries me so. 1 know that Duke Adams Is not a tit person for her to be with, and she's too young to fly anyway." "Tifi was born with wings," said Sally, laughing," but the rest of us have to work for 'em." Enter: The Society Editor SALLY was glad to leave the house behind and go to the dusty old brick building on Main street which housed the Warrenton Courii r The clock struck nine as she climbed the stairs and paused timidly In the door way of the big editorial office There was no one there except the city editor, who had the largest desk. In one comer of the room. "Good morning." said Sally uncer tainty. "Good morning," said the editor absently, wlthoi't looking up. He had already gone over Sally's duties with her and had promptly forgot that there was to be a new person In the office. Sally knew him well at sight and her father had known bin) for years. Hugh Johnson was a compe tent newspaper man and everyone knew that old Mr Wlngate, who owned the paper., had long since turned over all the editorial work to him. Mr. Wlngate -rarely came to his office for more than an hour day. and is editorials grew fewer and less vigorous all the time. Sally crossed t' the big desk that had been Miss Delia's. There were already some Items on her desk, and there was a copy of the evening paper wl'h several bits of local news marked for jer. She was busily pecking at the typewriter when the sports editor, Mac McCullom. came In. He saunt ored over to Sally's desk end watched her progress with Interest. "Where'd you leorn to type?" he asked presently "11 learned at home by myself," said Sally, startled. "Pretty good." said the red-haired Scotchman "You're Just what this "It no one hand some comes along, I'll marry a rich man and aave the family," said Tip. is with Duke." pouted Tip. MOf course you want to do what Salty does," said Mrs. Wurren angrily. "I knew something would come of Sally's going about with that garage man.'' "Come, come, now, Adelaide." said Mr. Warren mildly, "Young May card's a schoolmate of Sally's and a fine fellow. 1 can't say I want either of you two flying, but Sally Is old enough to pick her own friends, I'm sure." "Yes.-Sally can pick her friends. office needed." He strolled over to hi, own desk, leaving Sally flushed, bu pleased. Later tha others came In -a gir reporter with a loud voice, wht prided herself on being as hard ai nails, and a talkative man who cov ered the police court and was always talking about it but they paid UtU attention to Sally.
