Inthelttcabe drew herself up, crossed the dusty beams, and stood beside Ginger's tidy little table desk. Her sympathetic eyes noted the pads of paper, the twnclls, the little old doll's trunk, the pigeon-hol- e of letters "Oh. Ginger, my darling." she whis-pered, snd wept agnln for leaving her But she wiped away the tears, laid bei letter In Its sealed envelope, "My Ginger." on the table, with the ring In s velvet bos beside It ' and la a shower of flowers, and rice, they ran dowa the walk. With ber foot on the running board of the car, sha paused. Ber eyes swept the small sweet sea of loved and loving faces. Sha fonnd tbe bright eyes of Marjory and Miriam, found her father standing a little away by himself. Then she found Ginger, a small, sol-emn figure, wltb lips forced to s grim smile. And Qelen fossed ber great bouquet HHes of tbe valley, for snd tiny rosebuds. Ginger bad not thought of this, must have been abeer Instinct which shot ber Utbo young arms high over others to catch the precious trophy. Helen smiled st ber. "My Ginger." Ber lips merely formed tbe words, but Ginger, staring, read the syllubles distinctly. The cab rolled away. A shout of laughter, a chorus of prophecies, surrounded Ginger, with the captured bridal bouquet In her band. But she beard none of It She was going borne. She answered no smiling thrusts, called no responsive greetings, to the merry throng sbout ber. She just set ber small face toward tbe old brown door, and her obedient little feet carried ber lead-enl-toward It Dp the stairs, heavily, heavily, and down tbe ball to tbe bedroom she bad shared wltb Helen. Tbe room looked strange big and roomy. 8be marveled at Its bigness, for she and Helen bad often complained laughingly of Its slight dimensions Suddenly she real-ized. One of tbe little twin be Is was gone, and the other, her own, was In tbe center of tbe space the two had occnpIiMl. Ginger's eyes burned sud-denly. But she was glad that other bed was gone She had not realized bow It would have been, lying there, and gazing across st that empty pit-lo-where Helen's brown hair, Helen's gentle face, Helen's friendly eyes, bad been before. "Sha thought of that," shs said aloud. t Tbe bride In stately white and es-corted by s fairy-lik- e vlslou in dainty blue frills, floated along the familiar old path across the velvety lawn. A low murmur ot admiration drifted down the walk, and Helen, smiling, lifted a hand to her townsfolk In friendly greeting. Ginger, leaving the bride at the door of the primary room already vacated by tbe maids In their slow . procession, (lew around the church and grabbed ber father. Slowly, solemnly, rose the strains of the wedding march. Eddy Jackson, breathing bard, accompanied the groom to tbe white chalk marks placed CHAPTER IV Continued It was she who announced the early arrival of Horace Langley. slopping bis brow, she said he was, and cling-ing like grim death to the arm of Eddy Jackson, who laughed at him. Much later, wltb the final announce-ment that the other bridesmaids were oa hand, she dispatched the twins, to pastel pink and yellow, to join the springtime bevy of orange, green, mauve and rose In tbe primary de-partment Then she led her father down the stair to the living room, where he was to wait for Helen. . "All the who's who sre there," she proclaimed blithely, "and all the hood-lums srs parked." -, -. , She ran up to ber sister's room, snd gsve s last tender touch to the white veil. "Oh, Helen," she whispered. Helen took her In oat arms snd the two girls wept together. After all, Ginger was Helen's bsby, had been Helen's from the moment when, re-turning from the little cemetery on the bill where ber mother was laid away In flowers snd snow, she ran to the opstslrs room of that other old parsonage to answer the pleading wall of the orphaned baby. "Too yon mustn't said Ginger stoutly, winking awsy ber tears. "You'll spoil your looks. Helen 1 " Conscious of tbe weight ot the flow-ers, she crossed dully to tbe desk by the window. There she fonnd a fat blue vase, tilled with fresh water, watting to receive them. j "She did that She meant all the time that I shonld have her flowers," Carefully, wltb Angers that seemed unfamiliar and strange to her, shs loosened the white ribbons, folded them carefully, and placed tbe flowers ta the blue bowL Then she sat down, on the solitary little twin bed, and stared st them, stared all about tbe room. i "That's what sbs was doing all morning." sbs thought "filing this room for me. Putting my things where her things bad been, straightening the drawers, snd tidying tbe closet, so everything would be full of me, end wouldn't show so much emptiness of her." . She got np suddenly, snd turned down the halL The ladder was against the wall. She climbed dismally, pull-ing herself, a great weight through the trapdoor, and crossed the beams to the dormer window. From force of habit she drew the small stool up to the table, and reached for ber pad. And then she saw a white en-velope. wish father could see yon. Now, don't cry. I'm going right down." She smiled bravely, tearfully, at her sister, unfailing refuge of sixteen years, now leaving her, and ran down the stairs. "Tell him to wait for me just a minute, I am coming st once," Helen celled after ber." Olnger went to ber father, "rather," abe said, "I must go now. Helen said for you to wait hers for ber just a minute I think she's going to pray, father, she looks just like praying. Oh, father, she Is beautiful She looks like a picture of a Madonna with all kinds of ' secret happy thoughts In ber heart that nobody else knows anything abont Just watt, darling, she Is coming. And Ginger tripped daintily down the flagstone path like a floating blue cloud in ber airy gown. In tbe living room sir. Tolllver, accustomed to patience by weeks of blindness, waited quietly. But Helen, ta tbe room she shared wltb Olnger, was not praying. Helen was not s sentimental girl, but one ot deep floe feeling, much of which centered around tbe baby sister whom she bad so long held ss ber especial charge, Helen was not going away bruskly to happy marriage wlthont a final tender word and gesture for tbs child who would come borne lonely In ber ab-sence. She bad written Olnger a le-tterwritten It tbe night before her marriage, when girls may well be excused If their every thought Is for themselves snd their lovers and their hopes, Helen's were for ber young-est sister. It was for that purpose that she denied herself to Horace, and to the girls, shutting herself np for hours behind n locked door, to write to Olnger Ells telling ber bow much she loved ber. how much she had en-joyed the years of caring for her. how much she hoped for ber future. Not s flowery letter, no literary work of art but one that cume from Helen's heart "Oh, Olnger, My Darling," She Whls pered, and Wapt Again for Leav-ing Her. for them before the altar. Down the ribboned aisle tripped small white fairies, sprinkling (lowers, after them, the bridesmaids In pastel, rainbow-tinte- d gowns, after them, tbe bride, serene, unruffled, sweet-eye- Olnger, cool snd slight In ber crisp blue, with s firm anger on ber fa-ther's srm, led him slowly down the aisle and placed him squarely opon the chalk mark, before she went to stand by Helen, serving the double role ss maid of honor to ber sister, snd as ber father's escort "I do," murmured Helen sweetly. Tbe familiar voice- - of ber father, resonant and low, nnbreaklng, con-tinued the service. And presently Helen's band was In that of Horace A great lump rose In Ginger's small throat And In the momentary breatb less silence that followed Helen leaned forward, put both arms around her father's' shoulders, .and kissed him tenderly. Helen was married It was sll over. With laughter and kisses, snd many gay words, the crowd surged down to the Sunday school room for the buffet luncheon served by the Rutheans. And when the proper moment came, Helen slipped sway from the others, snd went Into the small room beside tbe pulpit where she changed quickly from her bridal robes to trim black snd white, for traveling. And then. Just s very little later, there was s cab st the curb, snd the guests from within docked out to mingle fra-ternally wltb those eq tally Interested outside. . i. Horace took Helen's band in bis. "My Olnger." She picked np the letter, tt was then she saw the velvet box. She opened It curiously e small diamond. In an setting ber moth-er's engagement ring that Helen bad worn for sixteen years. Ginger beld It in her hand a long time, snd stared Into tbe dim recesses of tbe dusty old room with grave, glad, wondering eyes. This was to her a symbol of Helen's trust J "If I'm not s whole lot better after this, Tm a whole lot worse than I think 1 am." she decided finally. "I know Helen expects me to keep a motherly eye on father and the twins, and I shall not disappoint her. Oh, bow pleased shell be when sbs hears sbout my home for the blind." There wss a certain confidence In ber manner as she slipped tbe small gold band upon ber finger. After ail, already, she bad taken the family affairs In charge. Tbe first links of ber chain were firmly forged. (TO BB CONTINUED) Wltb this letter, she was going to lea re for Olnger a precious thing, the little diamond ring that bad been their mother's engagement ring. It had been given to Helen, at ber moth-er's death, bad been worn by ber In sacred remembrance for sixteen years, but now, wltb the band of ber own betrothal upon ber hand, and soon to be enforced by the wedding circlet, she would pass this treasure on to Ginger. She had Intended to leave ber farewell message on the dressing table of the room they bad occupied together, but now, opon sudden Im-pulse, thinking ot Ginger, she knew tn s Bash of revelation what tbe girl weald do opon ber return. She would Oy straight np the wabbly ladder to ber private sanctuary In tbe attic, where, alone wltb her loneliness.' she would weep out her heart to exbaos lion, snd nll asleep.

Is that one which speeds op talking by wire between New Tort dtj and Philadelphia a distance of about too miles. 8o great baa been the demand for telephone service between these two great aggregations of humanity that calls are made at the rate of about eight per minute or about 10.000 every 24 hours some !W0 telephone circuits being kept busy day and night Four underground cables, each en-closing hundreds of wires. In addition to two lines, are re-quired to carry these messages and a fifth cable probably will be placed In service by the time this appears In Drint The underground cables used In tbls service are Ingenious contriv-ances. They sre cvnsldeied storm-- ' proof, Insulated , against dampness and encased In a sheath of lead. A-lthough less than three Inches In diam-eter, a sufficient number of wires can be packed Into one o them to permit 2B0 telephone conversations snd SOU telegraph messages to be transmitted at the same time by virtue of a spe-cial apparatus which makes possible the sending ot many messages over comparatively few wires The amazing demand and conse-quent rapid Increase in facilities for overcoming the handicap ot distance Is here Illustrated to tbe ntb degree. Tbe first telephone service between these points was Installed In 1889. Doubting Thomases regarded the serv-ice ss sn experiment which might develop tnto s convenience, but never would develop Into s necessary service to tbe public, "The Greatest Bridge in the World" AMASTODONIO bridges, officially Hudson River orldgs, but referred to ss Tbs Great-est Bridge In the World," wblcb will cut the sir high above tbe waters of this famous and lordly stream between the Palisades of New Jersey snd Riv-erside drive, New Tors, Is under con-struction. ta an attempt to cope (with tbs prob-able traffic demands of future genera-tions, man bas dared to build a bridge of such gigantic proportions as to stag-ger the Imagination. Tbs bridge prop-er will jump the river In a single spsn 8,500 feet long, while Its length, ex-clusive of the ornate plazas which srs planned for either end. will be 7.800 feet Its two piers, resting on bed rock, will each be 210 by 65 feet st base and tower 635 feet above tbe wa-ter and Its floor, which will bs 253 feet above the water, will have an ultimate width of 188 feet The weight of the auspended construction will ap-proximate 00,000 tons, supported by cables containing 26,474 wires , each and three feet thick. The design adopted admits ot ex-panding the capacity as necessity de-mands. Originally, Its one deck will carry four lanea of vehicular traffic and two sidewalks. Later, two 24-fo-roadwaya can be added. Finally, a second deck can be swung under the first one, providing for from two to eight tracka for rapid transit service, bringing the maximum capacity ot the structure np to something like 80,000,-00- 0 vehicles annually. All told, this Is one of the most difficult construc-tion feats yet attempted by man. m m m The Moffat Tunnel AFTER years of tedious boring six miles of solid rock snd tbe expenditure of sbout f 18.000,-00- 0 tbe Moffat tunnel, carrying twin steel rails through tbe backbone of this continent fifty miles northwest of Denver, was completed In 1928. This Is the highest tunnel In tbe world being upwsrds ot s mile snd s half above the waters In the seas, notwithstanding which some ot the peaks of the Continental Divide tow-er half a mile above the track. It measures 10 reet by 24 feet and was built with s high-poi- st the center so that seepage wster would readily drain away. It Is 23 miles shorter and 2,400 feet lower than tbe pre-vious route wblcb squirmed over "The Divide" through that bleak can-yon known as Rollins Pass. . This tunnel promises to become a national asset of no mean Importance. It provides s gateway between a ter-ritory in Northeastern Colorado and Eastern Otah that Is larger, than France and. tla claimed, holds enough coal to supply this country for sev-eral centuries, oil shale beds capable of producing enough ammonium sul-phate to fertilize all the farms In the Mississippi basin, billions of feet of timber and millions of acres ot pub-lic lands open to entry end some 40,000,000 persons who people that great area between the Rockies and tbe Alleghenles. When the railroad Is completed to Salt Lake City It will materially shorten the distance be-tween Denver and the Pacific coast and will thus operate to speed np transcontinental traffic. 135. llll Weatern Newenaper Onion,) STORY FROM THt START lo lh usually ult bom at Rev.
