"To my niece and nephew, Elizabeth and James Thrope," he read. "flQO." Llda leaned forward to smile and nod at Bessie who sagged back limply, looking like a pudding pud-ding long boiled In a bag. "To my nephew, Bentwell Stafford. Staf-ford. 100." It couldn't be true! Then LI da thought, "Aunt Ella's left the money to me. Or to Elinor." The lawyer went on reading. Ten dollars to each of them. Ten dollars! The same sum for each of the three Thrope boys. Bessie was crying almost uncontrollably, Llda saw. Jim bad slipped an arm around her. His face was working strangely. Bentwell sat stolid. Elinor's eyes were closed. Llda. strained and leaning forward, for-ward, heard the lawyer continue, "And I. Ella Gaines Sexton, do name as sole legatee to the remainder re-mainder of my fortune Barrett Holdemess Colvln who has never disappointed my faith in him and Who thus merits my trust. And if Jbis conscience for some reason that I do not foresee makes him refuse this gift the amount entire en-tire shall then go to the purpose of suppressing in the United States such art. as is made pernicious by featuring the undraped female figure The group moved rather blindly,' blind-ly,' stupidly. Miss Smythe, triumphant, tri-umphant, Inclined her head to Elinor. t Llda pushed roughly toward Barrett Colvin. She was breathing breath-ing hard. "I I quite understand your devotion to my aunt now!" he said. "And why you paid my daughter such attentions only 'to turn .from her,. suddenly why you offered her a clgaret In this house, knowing how you could Influence my aunt.

I sup pose we're all upset. I know you didn't scheme and Aunt Ella had every right to leave her money ' where she pleased." Then, turning, she was gone. Lida was approaching hysterics. hys-terics. "I shall take this to every cqurt In the land:" she threatened, threat-ened, voice shrill and rising. "Everyone here knows I stayed with Bentwell only because that old hag hated divorce so. Bent-well's Bent-well's a sot! He's made my life!" "Silence!" boomed the lawyer. "Silence, please, Mrs. Stafford,", said Miss Smythe crisply. So many years she had been ground down by Mrs. Stafford and all that time she had known how Mrs. Stafford cheated Miss Ella, of whom Misa Smythe was fond. She had looked forward to this moment with the keenest pleasure pleas-ure but now she could not forget for-get the way Elinor had smiled at her and said, "I'm glad. Miss Smythe, that Aunt Ella remem bered you so well. Yoii deserved it more than anyone else." JJARRETT went home and paced me living room. He ran nervous hands through his hair. across his brow. Twenty millions of dollars or more bis from the old lady and the Thropes close to starving. He could still hear Bessie sobbing. And unless he took it the money would go to that absurd cause a vicious cause!? How could that child be dif ferent than she was with that woman for a mother and a drunkard father? Lord if he could only forget Bessie Thrope's sobs! And for some way in which be could make it up to them all! Elinor Stafford had looked pitiably white at the burial ground. He had thought for a moment that she was going to faint and had forgotten his anger to think only of her need for a steadier arm than her father could offer her. She had been decent more than decent to speak to him as she had. He lit a clgaret with hands that shook. What was .there ahead for her. Elinor Stafford T. He knew her father's business was ill-managed and neglected. Now the creditors would close in on them. Accounts would not be extended; credit would be gone. Barrett wished he could stop seeing Elinor as she stood, looking look-ing at the yawning grave. She had stared at it as a frightened child would. Watching her, he had longed to pick her up, hold her close and comfort her. "Lord. I can't do it!" he said, half-groaning. He was thinking of taking the fortune that had been left him. a fortune he could never feel to be his. He must give it back to them in some way. But how? How? Elinor had given him one glance filled with reproach. Why had she looked at him thus, he wondered. Why, couldn't he stop thinking about her? jN a Park avenue apartment Llda -- was screaming. "You you! You did it!" She was pointing at Elinor. Bentwell was drinking from a glass that trembled in his hand. Elinor looked from one to BUDDIES a m "7 1 Kt MAttD TK.

Jim Thrope, 'small, under-weight, prematurely graj kept her arm pressed against h.is side. "Never mind," he said as they waited In the subway for their train. "We'll manage!" He had tried tcTspeafe-heartily but his voice sounded hollow and as he spoke he saw. himself in a long, narrow mirror above a slot machine. He was shabby, hollow-cheeked; the sort of man who when a little older sat huddled on park benches, heading papers others had discarded or looking wistfully after the well-fed and warm. Bessie'' fat. sagged face had been swollen by the tears she had shed and it was convulsed by tears that were yet to be shed. "I I never counted on much," she confided, and again she sobbed, "but I never thought it would be this way, Jim!" "Neither did I." he answered drearily; The train shot into the station. Humans poured from it. There was the usual tangled push made by those who wished to get oa. Many of them cast curious glances at Beasleand each time she realized this she sobbed deeply after a futile effort to keep back the sob. She slipped her hand into Jim's. She managed to whisper, "Anyway, "Any-way, we have the boys and each other!" He nodded, eyes misted. , gHE had never seen the shabbi- ness of the Brooklyn home more clearly than she did a little later when they arrived there. The linoleum on yie floor of the small. dark entry had been worn through. The edge by the sill was warped, broken, curling. Bessie took off her rusty, black hat and the black coat that she had borrowed from a sympathetic neighbor. Jim Junior came pounding down the stairs, an 18-year-old boy whose feet were still ahead of the rest of him. He was followed by Bert. 16. and Sexton, almost 15. "Do I go to college?" Jim Junior asked from the landing. Bessie shook her head. For a moment the boy was silent. Then he drew a deep breath and his shoulders squared. "Oh. well. I can go to night school," he said after a hard swallow. Sexton alone was loudly resentful. resent-ful. "Gosh," he wailed, "here 1 have to go through life bored by dumb cracks about churches, because be-cause of my darned name and "Never mind." said Jim. slipping from his overcoat "We'll have a real nice dinner!" Bessie promised, prom-ised, her lips trembling on the smile that she forced. Jim Junior slipped an arm around her. It made her cling to him a moment and sob again. Then she hurried to the rear of the house. It would steady her to get her hands into cold water and the potatoes were waiting to be pared. It was Maggie's Mag-gie's afternoon out. which was just as well. At half past seven Sexton opened the door to Elinor Stafford, who was still in the black she bad worn at her great-aunt's funeral. Although Al-though tears did not leave unhappy traces on her face Sexton saw, by the languor of her eyelids, that she'd been crying too. (To Be Continued) BY MARTTN rSVL VfcMK 00-OO- Yta I CWOJI CCV.

Among the many listed were copper coated furniture, weather-proofed sheeting, sheet-ing, asbestos and tar roofing coated coat-ed with copper, vermin-proof boardcovers for grain storehouses, and even copper visiting cards and office stationery. Through a new electrolytic process, pro-cess, the copper executive said, the red metal can be made into sheets l-20,000th of an inch thick. The sheets may toe used as parchment or glued to paper or wood, forming form-ing a semi-permanent product at slightly more cost than good quality qual-ity paper or board materials. "Fifty thousand people in the western United States depend directly on copper for a livelihood," Spilsbury said, "and they will find conditions turning rapidly to the better inthe'next few months."
