"Winthrope'i voice wi ud denly tense, mora tense thin he bad intended It be. "Just what I said. Adele. Tm broke. That' one of the things I came down here to tell you. I couldn't bear writing you bad news." "I know you cam down sooner than we expected you" ahe wa looking at him doubtfully "but, Bart, you can't mean this. Some thing of the seriousness of the thing bore in on her with startling suddenness. "Why you couldn't! You wouldn't have let me go on with that big party tonight if you'd been really broke." "Yes, I would. Adele. You were having such a grand time getting it together that I couldn't bear to stop you. A little money one way or the other doesn't make much difference." "But you shouldn't hare let me, Bart!" Winthrope smiled Indulgently. "You're feminine to the heart, Adele, and I admire you for it But women always think in term of petty money when they're sav ing, and then squander hopeless ly when it comes to big things. What would the few hundred! you spent on that party mean to us when our liabilities run into hundreds of thousands?" Mrs. Winthrope paled. "Bart, you frighten me!" "I haven't meant to, Adele. I only wanted to be honest. And certainly this sets at rest my fears that our children may be married for their money." "Is this really true. Dad?" Jerry .iked. His own face had lost some of its color. "Yes, Jerry. I'm sorry to say, it Is. I feel as if I'd failed all of you, but" his hands moved in a ges ture that was somehow pitiful and utterly new to Bart Win thrope "it's gone beyond my ability to do anything." "Why didn't you tell us sooner, Bart? Surely you must have seen this coming?" Adele Winthrope was sorry the moment the words were out, they brought such a wounded look to her husband s face. , "You know how things ara In the market, Adele," he said gently after a little silence. "There's al ways a chance that one may re coup. Well, I Just couldn't." "Are you sure it's quite hope less, dear? It may not be as bad as you think. There may still be a chance." Adele wanted to en courage him, to make up for what ahe had just aaid. "I wouldn't have told you it rd thought there was any chance, Adeie. I've waited a long aa long as I've dared." It was Adele who finally broke the brief silence, that followed Bart's words. "Just what Is this going to mean to us?" she asked. "In Immediate changes, I mean." nana THE help up home will atay until aummer," Winthrope'a voice was weary, as if he had gone over and over the thing to himself so many times that talk ing about it was tiresome. "I've put the place on the market The yacht will remlan here in the basin; the crew will stay until they can find other Jobs. I've taken it upon myself, Adele, to rent a cottsge here for the re mainder of the winter. I need the sun. I'm run down from strsin. Jim's staying on there at the office doing what he can. I can trust him. If anyone can wrest anything from the wreck, he can. I've got to rest and forget there is auch a thing as business. The chauffeur says he'll stay on In our cottage for the winter without pay, if we'll make a place for him." "But can we? Can we afford It?" Adele aked quickly. "Yes. And," with a wry grin, "he says he can cook. I thought it might be well to have someone like that around. You haven't done any wrestling with pots and pans in so long, dear." "1 can cook, Bart! I'm a good cook!" Adele's thougl t aped back over the years to the Blodgett house in Shirley, Indiana: those last years when Aunt Matilda was so frail, and she, Adele, had got ten out her mother's yellowed cook books, found the much thumbed pages where marks In dicated her lather's favorite, and had learned to follow them. Tom Blodgett had lived during those davs. He was proud of his daugh ti'r's cooking and often enter tained bigwigs of the firm who came to look the Shirley plsnt over. "Of emirse, I know you can, Adele," Winthrope said quickly. "I know you're a girl who can do anvthing she sets her mind to." "Bart, It doesn't seem to me you'rn taking this as seriously as vou should. I think we ought to let all rf the help go. Not try to keen them in any way." "Darling, you're not thinking now. Those people won't he able to walk right out and get other Jobs. You and 1 have some re srxmsibility to them. A roof and food, even without a salary, is CEILING NEAR Salem, Sept. 29 (tV) In two or three days the Oregon unem ployment compensation fund will reach the $14,373,000 celling after which payroll taxes will range from I to Z.7 per cent, In stind ef from 1 to 4 per cent, the commission said today. "It's Sure To Rain" ALLIGATOR RAINCOATS STORE FOR MEN flnmthtntf. They'll have that as long as we can give it to them." "I see what you mean. You're ; right dear." Jerry looked from his mother's j troubled face to his father and ; wondered exactly what he saw : there. His father did look tired. His searching eyes could see that But he wondered that a complete- . ly broken man would carry on as i his father was doing, almost amil- ingly. He stood a little in awe of his father's courage. "But Bart, your mother . . Adele began. "I couldn't think of bothering her with thTs. dear. She's old." Adele Winthrope stared, word less. This was all so revolutionary she could scarcely grasp it The Winthrope money had seemed so secure. And it had been nice to be rich, not to have to figure how to , get things. She looked back for a moment to her early days when money had been so hard to get and shuddered Inwardly. "There'll be just enough for a maid of some sort and surely Lenore can step in and take most of the responsibility from you. Adele, winthrope was saying in that faintly weary voice. Lost Lenore AT THE sound of her daughter i voice, Adele Winthrope start ed. Lenore wasn't in yet She naan i reiurnea irom me cany and the yacht had been dark for over an hour. And you could cir cle the island a dozen times in an hour. 'I wonder where Lenore Is?" she voiced the question. "She should be in." Isn t she? Bart asked In sur prise. "Of course not!" Her concern made her almost impatient Winthrope looked at his son. 'Know where your sister is?" he asked. Jerry s answer didn't come Im mediately. He thought he knew where Lenore was, but there was no use telling. He'd leave that to Lenore. Anyway, it was her life. "No, I don't. Dad," he said quietly, glad that he wasn't actu ally telling his father an untruth, because he really wasn't aure about Lenore. It was iuat a sud- poiltion. He wasn't sure it had been Lenore and Vin he had seen on the beach. Winthrone looked at hu wife. "These kids seem to have gotten out of hand down here. Lenore shouldn't be out this late without our knowing where she is." "She'a probably with Gervaae," Mrs. Winthrope said placatingly. "She went with him, and he's all right Maybe they stopped at Chi ci's on the way home, for a drink and bollos, or something. They like to think they're slumming. They have quaint ideas." "I should think it would be quaint to want another drink after all that was washing about the boat You could bathe in it I think the blond Count did. I think that lad has taken the lib erties I've given him a little too seriously. The bar bills signed oy deBellefort that have poured in even since Lenore's been down here would turn a seaman green with envy of his royal capacity." "Bart! But he's going to marry Lenore!" 'So I ve heard. And not with any particular happiness." "I'm sure it'll be all right, dear. At least Lenore is safely account ed for." Adele aaid anxiously. "I wish I could be as sure or that as you are. Adele. That man accepts guest privileges altogether too willingly to sun me. "Oh. Bart. It's lust that you're nervous and upset and aren't see ing Gervase straight right now Poor darling. You've gone through all this alone. Mane all tnese ar rangements, attended to all these hideous little details. You really should have told us, dear, and let us help you." Jerrv. who had been sitting silently by, paused on that. Help? Little help any or nis lainny couia have been to Mr. Winthrope. They had lived lavishly and elegantly. Blithely and carelessly. Never giv ing thought to where the money was coming from nor how eternal its stream miRlit be. "You It now we'd all want to do what we could to help, Bart," Adele was repeating helplessly. "I know, my dear, you've al ways been tho most understand ing wife a man could hope to have. I've appreciated that. What we've got to do now to get these two kids looking at things straightlv. That's our biggest job, Adele. I'm actually more con cerned with that than about the money." "Darling. I think you're taking their little peccadilloes too much to heart." "I don't believe that's possible, Adele. Yesterday Isn't soon enough to get your kids started right, get them pointed in the right direc tion." "I don't nee why they have to carry on as they have!" Adele Winthrope's voice was etched with impatience and concern. 'You'd never believe they were our children, the way they run around with all kinds of people. I can't understand it. Neither you nor I are that way. Where do they get it?" Te fee nUnarg DR.
