CHAPTER VII.
It was several moments before
Cynthia stirred. So the Kerrs, too,
had a game! They were after the
Potter-Payne money and—and—
there might not even be such a
thing as the "Kerr castle!"
Cynthia felt a sudden surge of
sympathy for Mrs. PottertPayne,
who was counting so much on that
castle. How dare the Kerrs fool the
poor thing like that? She had an
impulse to rush and tell her em-
ployer.
Then, she-remembered that Mrs.
Potter-Payne was also fooling the
Kerrs. She shrugged. There was
nothing to do but let matters take
their course. After all, Mrs. Pot-
ter-Payne herself had seemed fully
aware that the Kerrs had no
money. As for the castle, If they
had taken her in about that—well, ’
It was just too bad. She was taking
them in about her “ancestral
home” and "background.”
As Cynthia left the greenhouse
and started back toward the house
she sa# a man’s figure coming
along the path.
. It was Tommy. "Hello, there!"
he said.
“Oh . . . h-hello," Cynthia stam-
mered. “I—I thought you were
regardless of whether they at-
tend the public schools at all,
and with no regard to how many
days the enrolled pupils are
present at classes.
The money supplements local
school taxes. In rural areas
there is additional State aid giv-
en by legislative appropriation
to equalize the opportunities for
securing a public school educa-
tion.
--------------The game broke up.”
Cynthia Glenn is unpredictable.
Hence, Peter Moore, In love with
her, Im not surprised by her latest
“crazy scheme.” In her absence,
he has rented her ancestral South-
ern home to the newty-rich Mr*.
I Potter-Payne, who in trying to
create a “background" for herself
' with the hope of marrying her
daughter and son, Irene and Tom-
my, to an Englishman and his sis-
ter, Bruce and Beatrice Kerr, her
house guests. Cynthia suddenly de-
cides to turn author and put the
Bolt er-Paynes In a book. Disguis-
ing herself with tortoise-shell
glasses, and calling herself “Jen-
nie Smith, a friend of Cynthia
Glenn’s,” she persuades Mrs. Pot-
ter-Payne to hire her as secretary.
But she doesn’t like It when Peter
starts showing an Interest In
Irene. She learns that her employ-
I er Is claiming the Glenn homestead
as her own ancestral home. Then,
siie overhears a conversation be-
tween the Kerrs Indicating that
they are after the Potter-Payne
money and may not own a “castle"
they claim to own.

From Revolution
To Presidency
TAMES MONROE plunged into
* American public life on the
battlefield. A student at William
and Mary College when the Rev-'
olutionary War broke, his‘studies
were interrupted. So young Mon-
roe left the classroom to join the
Third Virginia Regiment near
New York with the rank of lieu-
tenant.
Monroe fought in the. battles of
Harlem Heights, White Plains and
Trenton. At Trenton he was
wounded. Later he took part in
the battles of Brandywine. Ger-
mantown and Monmouth. It ap-f
peered that the army was to bM
his career by this time. He was
highly commended. But Monroe
was disappointed in the rewards
he received and when the con-
flict was over he turned to gov-
ernmental affairs.
From 1782, when at the age of
24 he won a seat in the legisla-
ture of Virginia, Monroe climbed
steadily upward. He served suc-
cessively in the Congress of the
Confederation, Senate, as minister
to France, as minister to England
and Spain, governor of Virginia,
secretary of state, secretary of
war and. Anally, in hi* 59th year
he was elevated to the presidency.
Four years later he was re-
elected, and the period of his ad-
ministration was labeled as the,
“era of good feeling." Monroe
died July 4, 1831 He is shown
above on a stamp of the new U.
S. regular series, enlarged.

"And I don’t want to lose my
job," Cynthia went on. “I want to
hold it untlll—." She stopped
short. She had almost said, “until
I finish taking notes for my book."
She finished, "until I get -my
strength back." J
Tommy gave her another of his
searching looks.
“You look darn healthy to me!"
he said. >
With that, he turned and left
her.
Cynthia soon followed him into
the house and, returning to - her
room, once more got out pencil
and paper. She resumed her seat-
beside the open window. Soon, she
was writing down word for word
the conversation she had over-
heard in the greenhouse that con-
versation between Bruce Kerr and
his sister. Completing one sheet of
paper, she laid It on the window
sill, and reached for another.
As she did so, a little gust of *
wind picked up the sheet she had
laid down and carried it out the
open window. A wave of panic
swept over her? Suppose a mem-
ber of the household should find
it!
She leaned out of the window.
To her horror, she saw Bruce
Kerr picking up the tell-tale sheet •
of paper! • .
He glanced, upward. "Is this
yourz?" he called.
"Yes,” said Cbmthia. "I—I’ll be
right down for it!”
ANSWER: Wrong! Lightning haz been known to strike tan
objects, like the Washington Monument, several times during one
storm.

Fogg museum at Harvard univer-
sity recommended Muskavitch for
the work.
The collection include* 34 paint-
ings, valued at nearly $1,500,000.
One painting. ’“The Nativity”
was believed to have been copied
by Rembrandt from hiw own'ort-
ginal, now hanging in the British
National Gallery at London.
Valazquez Work Included.
The most valuable paintnig in
the collection is probably "'The
Concert” done in 1629 by Velaz-

vealed that two others are Correg-

Tintoretto and Lorenzo Lotto. |

in Dallas will serve museums and

to the Fogg museum, with which
Muskavitch was formerly connect-

"No, I suppose not.” Tommy
hesitated, -then confessed. "The
person I was really thinking about
was my mother. I suppose you've
guessed—if you haven’t been told
- what she's up to. She's got her
heart set^ on Irene's marrying
Bruce Kerr. And now, it looks u
though Peter Moore might upset
the apple cart. I just thought that4
if you wrote to your friend Miss
Glenn and gave her a hint, she
might come home and take Moore
in hand.”
"I’m sorry," Cynthia said coolly,
"but I never interfere in matters
of the heart.”
Tommy shrugged. “Oh. well It
was just an idea I had. I'm sorry
I mentioned it. Not that I wouldn’t
prefer Moore to Bruce for a broth-
er-in-law. but—”
"What’s the matter with
Bruce?” Cynthia asked quickly.
"Oh, he's all right I like him.
But I wouldn't relish living in a
castle."
"You wouldn’t have to live In his
castle just because lie was yc^ir
brother-in-law, would you?”
“I might. If I married Irene,
Mother would probably want to
move us all over there to the Kerr
castle! Besides, she's expecting me
to marry Beatrice. ...”
At that instant, he was inter-
rupted by his mother’s voice call-
ing to him from the doorway of
the house. x
‘Tommy! Is that you out there?
Beatrice is looking for you!"
"Okay, Mother!" Then, he mut-
tered, "Hang Beatrice!”
"Why, Mr. Potter-Payne!" said
Cynthia. ,
“Don't call me Mr. Potter-

The big brag of the totalitarian state is that it is efficient.
It may be a bit repressive and hard to live with, but it Gets
Things Done; slipshod old Democracy just muddles along,
falling over ita own. feet and fanning itself to death with
the breeze of its waste motions.
’Okay. Let's look, as they say, at the record.
Uptil recently the New York Times maintained its central
European bureau in Vienna. The Anschluss made it neces-
sary /for the bureau to be moved to Prague. The bureau
coqaiated of four small rooms; the stuff to be moved includ-
ed R small atnount of furniture, a few typewriters, and some
fileh. Thfe Times people blithely notified the authorities, call-
ed the movers, and prepared to get going.
At this point German efficiency stepped in-^-with the re-
sult that it took two mortal months to get one carload of
possessions moved from Vienna to Prague.
iFirst of all, the authorities had to be sure that the prop-
er taxes were paid. Inspectors of high and low degree came
to daH. -Jnintmerable documents had to be filled out, books
.had to be examined, appeals taken, signatures of various
functionaries obtained. All of this took three weeks.
Then the efficient Teutons had to go over all of the things
that were to be moved—and go over them they did, with a
super-efficient fine-tooth comb. Every file that was being
taken out had to be opened and examined thoroughly. Every
book was opened and examined, page by page, to make sure
that no banknotes or other contraband were being taken out
of the country. Envelopes of newspaper clippings were scru-
tinized down to the last typographical error. Boxes of empty
envelopes were opened so that each envelope could be peer-
ed into.
The inspectors bad their most fun with 120 bound vol-
umes of the Times. These had to get a close scrutiny, like
everything else; and if you have ever seen a bound volume
of a daily paper, you can imagine how long it took to go
through those 120 volumes. But the job was done, regard-
less; and all the furniture was examined for concealed hid-
ing places.
By the time all this was done, the tax permits previously I
obtained had expired. These had to be renewed, which meant
more delay. Then the movers had to be rounded up. The load-1 DALLAS, Tex. (U1*»—W pians~oT

He stood looking at her intently,
there in the moonftfeht—just as he
had looked at her yesterday when
■he had come down the stairs. She
felt uncomfortable. It was as
though he were seeing right
through her—m he saw through
his mother. It was as though he
were saying, "You can't fool me!
I know you're a faker!" Then, she
shook off the feeling. After all, he
couldn’t possibly know she was
actually Cynthia Glenn, not “Jen-
nie Smith."
“Do you really have to wear
those glasses?" he asked sudden-
ly
"Of course!"
"But you don't have to slick
your hair back like that."
“I like wearing it this way.”
"Then you don’t give a darn
whether you make a good impres-
sion or not, do you?”
"Why should I? I am a working
girl, and I’ve no time for a lot of
silly vanities."
"Do you really think them sil-
ly?”
"For me—yes.”
Tommy sighed. “Oh, well, I like
you just the same. It’s nice hav-
ing a really honest person around
to talk to. I hope you don’t mind
my personal remarks. It’s just
that I think it’s too bad you don't
make the best of your good
points."
"Thanks for taking such an in-
terest in me!" Cynthia said mock-
ingly.
He took her arm and started
strolling through the garden.
Then, he said, in his abrupt way,
“Tell me something. Isn't this fel-
low Peter Moore supposed to be
pretty keen about your friend,

"Well, he's been paying court

and give her a friendly warning?”
"Certainly not!" Cynthia's' chin
went up. "It's no affair of mine!
