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

“Well, they’vb just discovered he’s

“How could he do that?” asked
Maris, suddenly rememberrng some-

“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

his share they’ve told on him and how i thing about him

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. .

he a steady nowadays, she wondered.
Was she that stunning looking girl
she had seen him meet? Her Oyes
rtngiiilled with tears. 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-

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.

received by Lawrence M. Pinckney,
state director for the National Emer

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.

“What could they say, Maris dear?

up on the social ladder, and some
times I used to talk things over with
Milly. I wonder what she’ll say now?”
“^n’t bother, about her or anyone
else; they’ll all be so'l^usy talking
about Stan’s crookedness that you’ll
be forgotten. 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

“But you don’t need to worry about

heart would be at rest, and she would
try to build up her broken life, to fill
it with other interests. She knew now
that she would never really love any

there could be no one else;
The bell rang. It was only the.mail-

they wrote. “Wish you were with us.”

But somehow/^en she found she

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

“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

“Yas,” ehe nodded, wondering what

“Yon know 1 would. I haven’t tast

But, leading the way into the kitch

she gathered up her materials. -
