Unci Henry, an old family friend, moves In to help run the place. The pennt Ie FeathersUmes come to board, ttay several weekt and leave without paying Eve, deserting their lerioui young ion Judge. George Cleveland, Eve's calm, practical neighbor, lovee her though the ie engaged to gay city-loving Denny. Returning from a trip to the city, accom panied by Denny and Judge, Eve finds Marylin Featherjtone'e are well note. Chapter 31 Denny Walk Out "WELL, the worthies! panhiv t dler!" Denny, tall end furloui. the sun shining across his tossed (air hair, took Eve In his arms. "My poor darling little idiot, to think of your letting them gyp you that wayl How far back were they on boa.d?" Eve laughed a little hysterically against his shoulder. "All the wayl And she didn't even put away the butter." . Denny released her, and whistled as they took in the wrecked dining room Marylln's hospitality had left In its wake. A split glass of Eve pre cious wine dripping across a big dish of limp lettuce. A vegetable dish with the remains of the peas. The big gray coffeepot in the middle of a big stain that spread across Aunt Line's best damask tablecloth, meeting Jimmy Katz's usual cigarette hole. A alop of red-and-whlte that had been Ice cream; a woodei dish with the but ter melted by the warmth of the day. Marylin had fried both the chickens Uncle Henry haa killed for Sunday, and the remains were on one end of the biggest platter. Jimmy Kati had been hospitably given of Eve's best. Denny followed Eve in as the began mechanically to tidy the table. He laughed, too, though he swore. "Hollywood orgyl" he said, and reached for a chicken leg at he perched on a chair arm. Then he frowned. Eve felt better. Denny's anger for her was comforting. "Hollywood orgy," she agreed, pil ing plates. "Precious, this leaves you In a hell of a hole." She realized at he spoke Just how deep the hole was. Her own savings nearly gone, and no Featherstone money till goodness knew when if ever for repayment or expenses ahead. She couldn't expect Denny to pay everything for thla big house even if they married on the spot Taxes repairs well, thank good ness, she had Denny behind her, gnawing his chicken bone gaily In his white shirt and gray trousers on the chair arm In the sunset light As she passed, piling the dirty plates, mak ing the table a little less dreadful, he put his unoccupied arm around her again. 'Judge Is Ihe Bother' "T TNCLE HENRY can be given back KJ to the Indians any time, of course. Judge Is the bother," he said. frowning in thought. "1 wonder If there's anybody who would advance the kid's carfare to Hollywood? Trou ble Is everybody knows the Feather stones never pay their debts." "But, Denny, I can't turn an Invalid child out (Ike a cat" "Sweet you talk as If he wasn't a Featherstone! That kid has been checked around and left on people's hands all his lite. He's led the life of a library bookl He doesn't know any thing else." "But that's why, the doctor said, he's In the condition he Is." "His condition Isn't your affair, Eve. Your affair la to get married to a fine young man who has a swell Job, and come live In New York with him, and have weekends at Southampton, and a nice little honeymoon et Nas sau." He laid down his bone and fin ished the claret In the bottle and amiled up at her. She leaned against him, feeling sud denly tired and confused. "But 1 can't break my promise to him." He looked at her in surprise. "Darling, you don't care more for Judge than you do for me, do you?" "Of course not. But throwing him out now might smash him for good. The doctor said " "It would mean postponing our marriage again!" "I don't see wh- at alll" "Well, but my craiy lamb, we can't etart married Ufa with a ready-made nervously-smashed son. Be reason able. 1 promised MIUI maybe I'd aweep you off with me to her place even today. Leis drive back now. There's a regatta tomorrow night and a big dance tonight We'll pick a few more bones and leave a note for Uncle Henry and drive till about nine, land ing on Long Island in the excellent moonlight I'll get Mita to send the .ad out by Jove, bright thought! And Monday, what do you say we get all married?" She could only say helplessly again, "But I promised him I'd keep him. A child who trusts me, Denny" "For the matter of that 1 promised Mltz you and 1 would turn up for the old regatta. I thought you could pack what you wanted and tie up some strings. I like my promise best." He was smiling at her winnlngly, Denny's own flashing smile of happi ness over a good party. 'Toe Voat love Me Enough' "rvEN, ccr.'l yuu ft it's lililerent?" Lf "Well, 1 fc';n't ki.or what to do," ha J:d despairingly. "You mean you won't go to Miul'i u.d get rid of the child, after I mane these arrange menta (or us?" "But how can I?" He nlKiuicrl. "All 1 see for It then Is to go back without yo'..." "Denny Just tn-.-ause I can't put that poor little cl.llu out?' "I never saw anyone so stubborn!" Denny said angrily. "Or.ce for all. Eve. it's the only thing to do unless you feel he's more to you then I am." "That Isn't the point, Denny!" "It is the point." Denny had sud denly flared up Into one of his mo ments of resentful anger. He came fcE n S3 "l never saw anyone so stub- borne Denny said angrily. close to her. "If you don't love me enough to turn the boy .ver to his parents so you can marry me, the only thing I see (or me to do Is to go to Mitzi's alone, and give you a chance to decide about 1. I didn't think It of you. Eve." "But. Denny, of course I'll go to Mi til's If you like. Only I can't send Judge away." "That s your decision? "It Isn't a decision!" "Sounds like It to me." He stood up. flinging his coat across his shoulder "Once and for all. Eve " 'Denny, don't you see that 1 can't?" 'All right. I have your answer. Tel ephone me if you change your mind." He picked up Lis bag and walked out. Before she could run after him or cry out he was whirling down the road In the old car. Aghast, she stood watching him from the doorway. (Copyright. iSJT.

Mosquito Caller. , Hog-calling and husband-calling contests are quite common. Perhaps a promoter of such events will branch out some day and hold a mosquito calling contest. It actually can be done. The male mosquito has a sharp sense of hearing for certain tones or sound waves. His feather antennae serve as ears and can pick up the sound of a female mosquito's "song" from distance far beyond human earshot. The male, upon hrnring th-j female, faces the direction from whence the sound cornea and then files directly towards It. The hum of n tunning fork or any other mus- ItVNiatbt Srndictu.
