IMEtCTHOUATUM ENJOY A TRIP SALT LAKE TO AND NEWHQUSE SYNOPSIS Motoring: through Vermont, Philip Starr, young Boston architect, meets, in unconventional fashion, Blanche Manning, girl of seventeen, with whom he is immediately enamored. In conversation, he learns something of her family history. It being a long distance to Burlington, Starr's destination, Blanche suggests, the village of Ham-stea- d not boasting a hotel, that he become, for the night, a guest of her cousin, Mary Manning. Mary receives Philip with true Vermont hospitality, and he makes the acquaintance of her cousin Paul, recognized as her fiance. Starr finds Mary is acquainted with Gale Hamlin, noted Boston architect. In whose office is employed. He informs her ofPhilip his desire to win Blanche for his wife. She is sympathetic, and tells him of an old familv superstition concerning the Blanches" of the Manning family. Paul Manning is Inclined to be dissipated, not realizing Marys true worth. Marys reproaches for his undue conviviality" are badly received by Paul, and the girl begins to have misgivings as to the wisdom of the alliance. Starrs disclosure of the fact that he is the son of a Congregational minister, and of his financial standing, establish him in the Manning familys regard. CHAPTER V Continued 5 It was, unfortunately, Moses who answered the rap at the knocker. His mouth was full of stolen sweets he had eaten up almost the entire contents of Marys box of candy and he had no eye for style. He was not impressed by the appearance of' the strange man. Moreover, his own appearance could hardly have warranted the hope that he might create a favorable Impression himself. The day being warm, and Mary otherwise occupied, he had surreptitiously removed most of his clothing in fact, everything except a pair of ankle ties, which had no connection with modesty and were retained simply because the hemp carpet in the front hall was rough. Hello, he said. Er hello," said the stranger, his face twitching slightly. Does Miss Mary Manning live here? Mary? Yes. Shes out In the back garden, killing potato bugs . . .that way, said Moses, with a wave of the hand, Indicating the direction which the stranger should take. Thank you very much, said the man, his mouth still twitching, walking off In the direction Indicated. Mary, hearing footsteps, straightened up quickly from the task over which she was bent, and turned a deep crimson. Mr. Hamlin! she exclaimed, In Oh, you must exgreat confusion. cuse mel When did you come? Just now, from Boston, he said, I unlaughing and shaking hands. derstand you are more cordial to guests from that locality than you once gave me to understand you were likely to be. I have had the pleasure of er meeting one of your small brothers, and he told me I should probably find you here. Arent you glad to see me?" Moses! Oh, what dreadful thing was he doing this time? Yes, of course I am, but " her flush growing deeper every minute. This time I came because Philip Starr asked me to. Naturally, I didnt tell him how glad I was pf an excuse. He thinks Im doing It entirely out of friendship to him only, Its great luck, for me, that he happened to fall in love with your cousin. Itll get Hannah and me into touch with you again Philip is a young man of unusual thoroughness, promptness and decision, as you may have gathered In your glimpse of him qualities which, unfortunately, are not often found In one who Is also an artist and an Idealist Moreover, he possesses a very fine sense of honor. He seems to be in a tremendous hurry, but didnt think it right to press his suit until he had been more thoroughly Introduced. I was Instructed that as soon as this formality, through me, had been accomplished, I was to telegraph him at Burlington, and he would return here unless, of course, It seemed absolutely hopeless for him to do so. Is there any reason why It should be hopeless? None In the world." Then come over and meet Cousin Violet." "All right," replied Gale Hamlin with twinkling eyes, But remember that afterwards Im coming back here to see you ! consciously or unconsciously by many persons. Violet herself was largely responsible for this. She went about among her neighbors scattering her good news as she went. Of course, Blanche is very young, and It breaks my heart to think of parting with her, she said, sighing and wiping away a few tears. But I couldnt bring myself to stand in the way of the true happiness of one of my children for selfish reasons. Thats never been my way. Of course Blanche is too innocent about worldly things and too much in love to think of the material side at all, but we older ones know that cant be overlooked altogether. Philip can do everything for her. Yes, her ring is lovely, isnt it? You seldom see such pure, white diamonds. And hes given her a pendant, too a diamond star! Wasnt that a pretty thought, and so clever ! Philip Is clever, unusually so. He says the name shes going to have, Blanche Starr, Is a poem just in itself. No, Philip wont hear of a long engagement, so Im going to take Blanche to Boston right away, to buy her trousseau, and see caterers and stationers and so on. I guess I can show his fashionable friends that I know how things should be done, even if I do live in the country! Theyre going to California on their wedding trip of course Philip would have taken Blanche to Europe if this tiresome war hadnt been going on. Blanche Is going to keep a maid, and Lady Blanche You Little White Flower. Two days later, Philip stood in the d north parlor of Violet Mannings house, waiting for Blanche to come down to him.

Philip took a step towards her, and held out his arms. She walked straight into them. Lady Blanche you little white flower Oh, my darling I was all he said, and covered her lifted face with his kisses. CHAPTER VI Philip Starr would never have dreamed f considering his comfortable Income a fortune. But it loomed large In tbe eyes of Lady Blanche farm, and soon In those of all the country side, for In thf general rejoicing at tbe good luck which had befallen Blanche, It was augmented ary record was noteworthy. Philip read on with increasing Interest, which grew greater still when he reached that portion of the history devoted mainly to the Manning family. Here were Moses Mannings fine war service the trip to France and here, too, was the Countess Blanche! The story of the great chests that came over the sea. And, at last, came the date of the twins birth, and, a few pages farther on, that of Lady Blanches death. But between these dates was something that Philip had not yet heard. . . And the Lady Blanche, being very weak after her long travail, was sorely spent, for she was a female elegantly formed, but not sturdy, or of sound health. She lay in great pain, and ever and anon she sack into a stupor from which none could rouse her, nor did she regard my exhortation, or the lamentations of her afflicted husband. But suddenly she did speak in a loud voice, saying, Since I must die, neither shall any other woman In this village who beareth twins survive her cruel labor; and though I perish, there shall be, In every generation, a Blanche Manning on this farm, who shall have not only my name, but in whom my person shall also be seen, again. And she shall wed for love, being hotly wooed, even as I was wooed, by a stranger. But because I have suffered, for all my love, in this unfriendly, cold country, and because he who swore to love me best has not saved me from anguish, but hath shown his love to be but selfishness, since he hath failed me when I most did need him therefore, I say, she shall not love for long. Within five years of her marriage either she or her husband shall die, and die with the bitter knowledge that neither riches nor passion nor high romance, nay, not even all three together, suffice to make that great thing called love unless there be other things, which my lover hath not given me, added unto them. And, in the hour of their death, I will appear unto those who die, and comfort them, for the manner of their passing shall be lonely and grievous altogether. And thereat," went on the chronicler, she lay back upon her bed in peace, and did not speak again. And we marveled greatly that one so gentle should seek, In her last moments, to lay a curse upon her Innocent descendants." Philip closed the book, shivering, and angry and ashamed because he was shivering. That silly old superstition what did It amount to! But had It amounted to anything? He began, involuntarily, to recall the histories of other members of the Mann ning family. The countess the second Blanche had married a Virginian, a classmate of her brothers at Harvard, who was shot, after they had had only a few radiant months together, In a duel with the man who had once been his best friend. The lawyer, Moses, had a daughter named Blanche, who went west In a prairie schooner on her honeymoon, and was never heard of again after she passed the Alleghenies. And the lawyers eldest son had a daughter who but that story was too dreadful, and contained shame as well as tragedy. Feeling as if his throat were being clutched, and as If he could not shake himself free of the hand that choked him, Philip sprang to his feet to see an apparition standing In the doorway. Blanche also had been spending her time that rainy morning by making an excursion into the past. Her mother had felt It a good opportunity for them to go through some of the chests carefully stowed away In the attic In search of treasures to add to her trousseau and they had found a trunk, thrust far untiny der the eaves and forgotten, full of the countess clothes; Blanche had carried them down to her bedroom and tried them on. They fitted her as if they had been made for her. Couldnt I keep one of them on, and surprise Philip? I think It would be lovely! And you can do your hair like hers In the portrait, and wear that white brocade dress that she had It painted In youd be the living Image of her!" Accordingly, after a careful study of the famous picture, Blanche did her hair, with Violets help, high on her head, powdered It, laced herself into the stiff, magnificent gown that had been the countess wedding dress, and went out to Join Philip. The startled, almost terrified cry that escaped him when he saw her frightened her almost out of her senses. She ran to him, and put her arms around him, trembling, too. What Is It?" she exclaimed. Oh, Whats the matter?" Philip Nothing nothing. . . . How lovely you look ! . . . Are those some of the first Blanche's clothes? Yes. Dont you think theyre pretty?" You youre "Beautiful, darling. very like her, arent you? Like her picture, of course, I mean. Yes but I dont see why you seem so upset, even If I am. I thought it would please you to see me dressed up like this I Philip forced a laugh. Pm not upset, he said pleasantly. "You startled me a little, thats all. Youre youre enough to startle any man, youre so lovely. I want a kiss and I want to consult you about something. . . And then he told her of his scheme for fixing up the little office. To his surprise, she did not respond to him with enthusiasm. At first she looked a little bored. Then she Interrupted him with a petulance which shocked him. girl-twi- have a motor, right from the beginOf course, all Philips friends and he has thousands of them will entertain for her and give her a beautiful time. Philip Is charming, and thats so rare in a man! He Is so thoughtful and pleasant always. I simply adore him myself. There was not a single flaw In the crystal Violet could purr on for hours. In fact Hamstead grew a little tired of so much perfection and so much purring. Nevertheless, in spite of some expressions of disparagement, Mrs. Elliott and all Hamstead with her, flocked to see the trousseau, and then the presents, and, in early August, to the wedding. During the two months and a half that had elapsed since his first appearance there, Philip had spent every Sunday and holiday at Lady Blanche farm, and, as Mrs. Elliott said, had been so pleasant-spoke- n that he had become cordially liked in the village; and, In turn, he had come to have a very warm and real affection for many of his new friends and relatives. Only twice had his dream of perfect happiness been shaken; and he tried to dismiss both of these episodes from his mind as trivial. Left alone for a time one rainy morning, he had decided to explore the little, abandoned law office. He had been thinking what fun it would be to restore it, and put it In order for Blanche and himself to occupy when they came to Hamstead to visit. It contained a cellar and two large, semicircular rooms, one above the other, and a small one with a little attic over It in the rear. He sat In one of the dilapidated chairs, pulled up a shaky table, and drew plans and sketches. Under his swift pencil, the tiny place became transformed. There was the living room, bright with white paint and a landscape paper, and shining brasses with Lady Blanches portrait over the mantel, her desk In one corner, her harpsichord In another, and her mahogany table In the center of the room; there was d bed the chamber, with her linen sheets one of her serving for a counterpane her bureau with its crystal lusters for for his own Blanche, her low-bo- y d her long table, dressing had she the and sampler mirror, stitched, on the flowered walls instead of pictures. He spent a long time over his pleasant task. Then, finding that Blanche, who had promised to join him there, was still nowhere In sight, he picked up some of the musty books lying on the table, and began to look through them. They were mostly law books, with a few interesting marginal notes that the second Moses Manning had made; but Philip knew little or nothing about law, and did not understand them. The third volume that he opened, less bulky than the others, proved to be a county history, written by a local clergyman early In the Nineteenth century.

(TO SB OONTINUmja Sally Sez Utah Legislature Senator Holmgren of Box Elder county is in favor of aiding the long suffering taxpayer as shown by a bill introduced in the legislature. Senator Holmgrens bill would ac. complish two or three purposes favoring the taxpayer. He would reduce the rate of interest on delinquent taxes from 1 per cent a month to 8 per cent a year. The bill would also permit prepayment of taxes in amounts of not less than $10, beginning as early as January, even though the exact amount of taxes a person must pay are not, under the present schedule, known until August, and taxes are not due until the notices are issued in' September. When such prepayments are made in January, the bill provides for a discount of 5 per cent ; the scale decreasing by 2 per cent a month until a discount of 1 per cent is allowed on taxes paid in September. If paid in October or November, the full amount must be paid, but if paid after that date, of course, the penalty and costs of delinquency and the 8 per cent rate of interest are to be added. The bill would also reword the present law so that holders of mortgages take a tax sale certificate to property when they pay the taxes, and the county treasurer becomes their collection agent. This provision is largely a matter of clarification of the present law, and one or two other minor points are similarly clarified. The committee of nine members of the legislature and appointees of Governor Henry H. Blood, which Is Investigating the organization and operation of the state governmental office, in order to recommend economies is making good progress. Drastic reductions must be made in state expenditures to prevent the recurrence of the present deficit of $2,000,000, as reported to the legislature. The committee has asked the cooperation of all state officials In arriving at the facts needed to make their report. Representative Daniel F. Mitchell of Duchesne introduced a memorial to congress asking appropriations to such counties in which there are large quantities of Indian land and personal property, exempt from taxation in the state. A memorial to members of other legislatures asking them to memorialize congress to pass the Frazier bill, which provides that existing farm indebtedness be refinanced by tbe government, was introduced in the house by Representative J. Hall of Utah county. Legislatures of Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Vrisconsin, Nevada, and Illino's have so far memorialized congress to this effect. The new codes of laws of Utah has been a prodigious work for the legislature, and all having tc do with the carrying out of the plan. The legislature now has much work to do in meeting the pressing economic crisis of the state. Unemployment Insurance is the problem met by setting up of a state unemployment reserve fund in a bill Introduced in the house by Representative Ray R. Adams. The basis of the bill is the plan now before the Ohio legislature and that being offered In other states. It is proposed to set aside annually 3 per cent of the state payroll, the fund to be used to assist the unemployed. The fund would be under the supervision of the state Industrial commission. Representative Adams states the bill provides that, beginning July 1, 1934, this 3 per cent shall be placed in a reserve until July 1, 1937, and the money would be used to pay unemployment benefits on a sliding scale. The bill provides that unemployed men shall receive $14 and women $6 a week as a maximum weekly wage. The theory of the bill is that the cost of employer shall pay for the Idle human labor, just as he pays for idle machinery. Representative Adams declares that the reserve fund will have the effect of being a great stabilizer of unemployment BILLS INTRODUCED IN THE HOUSE H. B. 22, Paxton R. F.
