"Never, never I" Anno almost sobbed.
There was a silence, and then Mill
Snyder spoke slowly, evenly, "I'd think
that oer If I wore you."
Anne .was flghtlns with hysterical
sobs. The world seemed crumbling;
around her. Just ns soon as she found
rS,w-y' i?f brS'Jenlnjr her sordid
existence It was taken awav from her.
Th.!j.uvan t0 mucl- 8l"s couldn't bear It.

pride was down, she was beaten.

11 JlmCarter had been somewhat kinder
Is Anne of late, because he thought
hat ho was beginning to see the light.
Jrh. was no noed of his forcing her
Into a .arrlage with this man If she
hd d'otded tp be sensible about It.
Ann was so afraid, of her father that
lis never seemed to bo able to fnco nis
mtjtlons. Sho could not fence with
him. her reason left her and her mind
tMmed paralyzed. She hoped now that
r, would not question her about tho
tUn she spent with Bill of late. Anne
wis not afraid of Bill, and sho no
lonrer suffered him. If he bullied her,
he laughed If he nsked questions, sho
parried them. Their time together had
teen tpent In bickering back and forth.
ind each Uslt of Bill's generally ended
In a fit of sullenness on his part and an
arly departure. There was somothlng
about Anno of Into that puzsled BUI,
and therefore that night at Cherry
Hsrding'c seated on tho wldo cushioned
couch with Cherry beside him, all
powdered and perfumed and alluring, ho
Immediately leaped to conclusions when
ho told him her news.
"I'm sure It was Anno," confided
Oherrv, In that soft sweet way of hers.
"But how could sho ever know tho. Car.
Bntfrs? It seems Impossible."
Bill was thinking 'deeply. Ho was
trying to put two and two together. Tho
whole thing seemed so Incongruous, so
unlike Anno, and yet was It unllko
Aruic. the Anne ho had known of lato?
Hadn't he wondered again and again
what had given her that solf-assuranco,
that added Independence and poise? But
j to how she had managed things he
had no Idea. Ho would have to find
that out.
"Well," ho said turning to Cherry as
though the subject of Anne was secon
dary In Importance to him anyway, "So
much for that." Ho did not want to
talk of Anne Just then. Cherry wns too
attractive, and Corlnno was at tho
piano playing soft minor things, and It
v,&s Just the atmosphere for a flirta
tion. He electrified Anne, however, n few
dar later by nsklng hor quite casually:
"What's this I hear about you and the
Carpenters?"
Anne turned whlto as drlvon Bnow.
Everything swam about her, tho ques
tion was so sudden and so vital, and
ahe was so utterly unprepared for It.
If Hill Snder had had any doubt of
the fact that Anno did know these
people, It was gone forever now. Anne's
face was nn open mirror that any one
could read. If Anne had wanted to
ilia could not havo refused to tell Bill
th. truth. "
He wanted no tlmo III following his
ether question with others that might
rxpMin it. Ills next question was dif
ferent "How do jou happen to know thon

May party for Nanette and four little
friends from n eltv. I'satVt Billui
Invited. Balky Bam acts at a' living
Hay pole.) '
OIIAMER IV 1
More Queens and Kings,
Too
BAliKY SAM was a funny altht aa he
lay upon tho ground all t&nelod
up In the vino rtbbona of tho May pole.
"Hee-haw I My poor htadt What a
bump!" he frroaned.
"Woof I Woof I Oh, my what p. Wck
I got," barked Johnny Bull from the
maple tree into whloh lie had bn ahot
by Balky Sam's powerful hl.
"Baal Baa! I'm sore all orert T
want to butt that mulol" bleated Billy
Ooat from the oak tree Into which
Balky Sam had kicked him. , .
All three animals looked as comical
as Charlie Chaplin In a movie.
"You made a nno May pole," chuckled
Billy to Balky Sam as he freed the nwk
from the tangled vines. Then Billy tiua
to dodiie In a hurry, for Balky 8am
kicked on hard at him ns he had kicked
at Johnny Bull nnd Billy Ooat.
After Johnny Bull and Billy Ooat had
been helped down from the trees, tho
queen of the May called the olty chil
dren to her throne.
"Ib there anything moro X can do to
add to your pleasure?" ahe'asked kind
ly. Tho children a-lanced a.f the Quen
ehyly, then looked at each other. It
was plain tliov had something oh their
mind. Finally Polly got up enough
courare to cnrili.
"Pleaae. Your Majesty, wo are only
poor children, wo would ltko to know
how it feels to be royal folks. Could
iyou make uo princesses of tho May or
flomomuiir we man"
The Queen of the May smiled
rrn Rlausl v.
"I'll do much better than that." she
replied. "I'll make you Queens and
Kings of the May like mysolf. What,
ho, my guards, .bring crowns for tno
new Queens and Kltyts of the May."
Tho answer camo from above. Down
dropped four yellow crowns, and each
yellow crown found its way to the head
of one of the four children. In a sec
ond they were ctowned Queens and
Kings of the May. Peggy, glancing up
nuleklv saw Judire Owl. Mr. and Airs,
Dob-o-Ltnk, and Mr, Oriole chuckling
among the blossoms of the trees. They
were trio ones wno nod prepared tne
crowns lor tno cnuarcn.
"Il'all, Queens of the May! Hall,
Ktnca of the May I" cried all the birds.
The new Queens and Kings smiled very
happily, and tho Queen of the May
smiled uacK at tnem.
"Is there, anything else you would
UKOf - sne asKea.
"Yes, fair Queen of the May," said
Martha after a pause. "One moro
favor we would ask. We would like to
And our little friend Nanette, who In
vited us to this party. We were told
he would be here."
The Queen of the May laughed right
merrily at this.
"And why do you want to And Nan
ette?" she asked.'
"Because we would llko her to bo a
Queen of the May with us," nnswerea
all of the children. The Queen of the
May laughed moro merrily than before,
"Bless you, Polly I Bless you,
Martha! Bless you, Harry and Little
Joel Don't you know mf' she asked.
Tho children looked at her long and
carefully, then shook their heads.
"Why, I am Nanette, the poor, sick
girl of tho attic. And I'm tho Queen of
the May I"
The four children looked nt her, then
rubbed their eyes and looked again. My
but they were astonished.
'Gracious goodness I "It Is Nanette 1"
they cried. "You've grown so plump
and rosy wo nevei would have known
you. Hall, Nanette, Quoen of the May."
(Tomorrow will be told how Lonesome
Bear appears upon the scene.)
A Bran Bag
'to make n bran bag for use as a soap,
mix equal quantities of powdered oat
meal and bran, and to n pint of this
add one-half cupful of powdered soap.
This should be flavored with one ounce
of powdered orris root. Small bass
