And then, who knows, something may turn up for you by which he hopes will provide an in-i that time. Anyway, you don’t need to come so that they can marry. Mafia thinks they shoulld enjoy the pres ent rather than deny themselves for future. She becomes uncertain of Iwtove for Rod. Perhaps there would be i^e happiness with someone else. “What do you mean—committed a crime?” The^ was a terriTied look injing curtains and things for Patsy’s worry, for Jimmy will be perfectly happy to have you here.” And so, on Saturday evening Patsy and Jimmy were quietly married, and started for their wedding trip in Jim my’s car. The house seemed strangely desolate to Maris, as she fixed up the things'Pa!tsy had asked her to—mak her dark eyear “Well, they’vb just discovered he’s been at the head of a bunch of racket eers who were syitematically robbing his father.” “How could he do that?” asked Maris, suddenly rememberrng some- :tMhg Jlitaamy.had hinted. at. - “Well, he tipped them off when truck loads would be leaving the mills. Then the bandits would hold them up, knock out the drivers and turn the stuff over to another bunch of men who would dispose of it and hand Stanley his share.” ^'But surely they won’t do any^lgg to him?” usked Maris, rememb«Tn Stan’s haughty mother. "I don’t know. Those thugs who made you ride with them w^re some of the ringleaders and because Stan tried to cheat them out of more than his share they’ve told on him and how i thing about him through the various ^agencies of farmers having no other source Farm Credit administration in tha^of credit. ^ home She hadn’t tried to get a job. The least she could do was help Patsy out after all she had done for .her. Once' she’d thought of calling>up Milly, but then, Milly was not a girl she really cared to have for an intimate friend, and- now that she had cut herself off fr6m~'1^ysbh’s she decided' It would be better to let things stay as they were. .

She realized that she had deliberately cut herself off from happiness. Patsy had never mentioned Rod since Maris had come back. Somehow she’d been expecting her to say some- maybe^-4o suggest Color dyed her cheeks as she won dered if he knew anything about her adventure. Of course she’d never said anything to Patsy about keeping quiet about it. But Patsy was so loyal, she didn’t need to do that. There was silence in the little room for a long minute. Then Rod put his hand on her slender arm. “Don’t you want to put that stuff away, Maris? It’s a long time since I’ve had a talk with you.” j “Yes,” murmured Maris, but she did not raise her eyes. Would she ever feel gay and light-hearted' again as she used to when Rod and she were friends? Carefully, she folded up her sewing and laid it on the tabte. ^Dien as she ^turned and faced him again, he caught her in his arms and drew her to him. ^ Raising her face to his, he looked l^g into her-dark eyes, “Maris> my sweet.

Don’t you think you could love me just a slightly more than three years of its existence, according to information received by Lawrence M. Pinckney, state director for the National Emer gency council. The first task of the^Farm Credit administration after it was, estab lished on May 27, 1938, was to check thb farm mojlgage foreclosures which threatened the bankruptcy of the en tire fundamental industry of agricul ture. The agencies to carry out this work were the twelve Federal Land banks, and in South Carolina this was handled—by the Federal l^and bank of Columbia. As a result t' farmers of South Carolina were refi nanced upon a long-term, basis and with amoKized payments which would permit the industriouf^ farmer-bor rower to repay his loan at such time as the return of normal conc^ions brought him an income adequate to his capital expenditures and his labor. T^e banit of Colum,bia.. over its. sixr teen years of service, had made 8,083 Federal Land bank loans to farmers of the state in the total sum of $22,- 10 Years Ago Items of Interaat From The Ch| .

From the beginning of its Her nrras tightened nbout his neekMay, 1933, ^through to the end of August this year, this bank made 3,607 additional loans on first mortgages in South Carolina in the sum of $9,292,000. rAlso from an emergency mortgage and as she nestled against his heart, she murmured, “No, Rod, T can’t love ybu just a little, for all this time I’ve been tovihg you with my whole heart—just you.” “Darling,” he whispered, “you real ly mean that?” and again she raised her face to his.

Not a thing. Of course I wouldn’t wonder if Stan’s scared stiff if he ever gives a thought to ..what may have^ happened to you. But there— that’s all past. Of course, though, you will have to resign from Fayson’s.” “But, Milly—Oh, Pats, you know I got kind of sore at you not having" «bout Rod, even if he were going to that she could call him up or ask him to come to see her. Her tears fell fast. Maybe Patsy realized she had had about enough to stand; that the knowledge— if it really wert so—that he had transferred his affections else where would hurt her so much. Pat pprobably thought that it would be kinder never to mention hTs name.

There, I don’t mean that exactly, but, after all, they’ll realise you were just one of them and when a show-down came you knew which side of the line you were on.” “You’re a dear, Pat. I’ll never for- get't'hls.” There was a knock at the bedroom door. “Come in,” called Pat. “I was wondering if Miss Maris would be ready for a bite of supper. I thought I’d bring ti up before we sat down.” It was the farmer’s wife. “I’m afraid I’m making an awful lot of trouble for you, Mrs. Dawson,^’^ said Maris. “I’m sure I can get up now.” "You’d better not. A bite of supper and than a good night’s rest and you’ll be ready to start off in the morning. Not that I want you to leave in such a rush, but the gentleman in sists he’s got to get to the city.” “Yes, that’s so,’’.j|pid Pat. “Well, I’ll come down with you and then I can bring Maris’ supper up to her.” ^ By seven o’clock next morning Maris was headed for the city, but this time she liad no fear that any moment might be her last. Jimmy Doyle, while a good driver, never took chances, especially when Patsy was rij;j[^ with him. AJfaady Maris had shaken off the j^rrqy that seemed to possess her, and - as she told Patsy little incidents of her hectic love affair, she was alntost able to jest about them. The Dawson’s had tinted lier ms a sort of heroine because of her part in trapping the criminals. Taking it altogether, in spite of all the discouraging things that she had gone through, Maris knew that life still lay before her, and that t^re would be other oppor tunirieTlbr her to show ^tsy that she wasn't altogether the fool the in sisted on calling herself. 'But when t^y reached hooM and . entered the little flat jmee more, Mar is began to realise wl^t her hMmpstde had cost her. She’d lost her good po sition and the chance, to get a better one, and now/ with conditions still none too rosy site realized that H wonldn^ be. such an easy thing to pick up a job. “But you don’t need to worry about that You need a holiday anyway, so srhy don’t you make up your mind to stay home and keep house?” “Keep house?” asked Maris. “Since when could we affovd have one of us do that?” “WeU, honey, it’s like this. Jimaty’s got his raise and sreire decided we ■say as well get mairied* Then, as there’s a chance he may be transfer red to some other city in a few anoaths, ete were thinking we-might stay here till we see what happens.” “Oh, but this will be no place lor me!” cried Maris. “Of course it wilL llf we get miuri ried next Saturday, then we’re going away for a two weeks’ trip, and you ' could stay hfre and look after thittge.“^ “That would be lovely, but it seem fair that I should be And she knew that her most thrill- in gday was still to come, when she wept to the alter as Rod’s bride—a reel bride this time, with a real man. who would love and cherish her, for \ her bridegroom.

She knew now that she would never really love any one as she had loved Rod, and felt there could be no one else; The bell rang. It was only the.mail- man with a card from Jimmy and Patsy. “We are having a lovely time,” they wrote. “Wish you were with us.” She laughed aa she read the message written in Jimmy’s carel^ handwrit- inig. That vruld be ajMte ideaf-to be their chaperon on^eir honeymoon. But somehow/^en she found she could laugh, fit of the blues seemed aqddMily to dissolve. Even if she ipight never again know the sweetness of Rod’s love, she must try to keep from getting soured: Ilien she thought of the Dawsons in their comfortable home in the Con necticut valley. She promised TilliO she’d send her some candy. So, slipping on an apron, she went into the kitchen and started to make herprepkrations. ' Setting her scales on the table, measuring out the sugar, and taking down her box of flavorings, Maris started her candy-making. It was a nice cool afternoon and her caramels turned out beautifully. She was just debating whether to make another batch when suddenly the door bell i-^ng. , Pulling off her apron, and smooth ing her hair, she hurried to the door. But when she opened it, her heart al most turned over. Rod 0*ftorke* was standing on the threshold! “Well, Maris, aren’t you going to ask me in?” he questioned as he^eld out his hand. ^ " ^Of course,” - she • whispered, while her cheeks grew rosy, a^ a sudden sparkle , leaped into ker eyes. “But Jlfuniy imd Patsy are still away.” • “That’s fine. Tguess they’re having a jrood time. It’s wonderful weather for an auto trip,” he said. He stepped niside and' hung hte Iwt oh the-ball rack just as he used to do. “Yes, I had a post card from them today. They’re somewhere in the Berkshircs,” said Marts. “And you’re running the show alone?” he ask^. “Yas,” ehe nodded, wondering what had brought'hhn around to the apart ment “I’ve been making some cara^ niels. Like some?” she asked. “Yon know 1 would. I haven’t tast ed a decent bit of candy since—” He hesithted abruptly, and Maris won dered what he had intended to say. But, leading the way into the kitch en, she said, “Help yourself, while I put all-this trash away,” and quickly she gathered up her materials. - “Thejr’re great, Maris, the finest What are you going to do ?” MAGAZINES Mr., Mra. and Mias-Schbol Teacher, why net place your aabecrlptiM throngh me-—either tisM or straight ■nbscriptions.
