The night before entering service she walks through dim streets and collides with a flight lieutenant of the RAF. Stopping to break her engagement with SteUa she discover that the lieutenant. Timothy Poel Sanders nicknamed "Tips" is Stella's divorced husband. Jane hears that Tips' squadron flies at 10 o'clock and that they are searching for him.

However; she agrees to meet him at j Berkeley's, where the couple agree to forgive and forget. When Stella returns to her apartment she learns that there were three telephone calls for her while she was out. one from -a young lady called , Miss , Sparks. ' C Stella' took the receiver. ' "Hello, I yes? This is Miss Carruthers speak ! tag." . i A pleasant voice explained that j Stella wouldn't know its owner's name. "I'm ringing up about Jane Lambolt I believe she'ra great friend of yours." "'! - '. ' "Jane! Why, yes!" Stella?s voice ; sharpened and her heart beat more; ! ijuickly in sudden apprehension. "Is pnything wrong?" ! Mrs. Blake, standing ' on the , istairs, listened wide-eyed anddeep : 4y interested to the one-sided con ! Versation that followed. Miss Car ' -yuthers' friend had had afc'WWfient ' )and been taken to the .hospital. The - ?wing of an airplane ba'd knocked : her down and she was still uncon j -scious. Mrs. Blake shook her head. J Stella replaced the receiver. She ;told Mrs. Blake that she was go , -ing out again at once. Yes, her ;greatest friend had had a serious .accident. She was going to her im jmediately. "Is she f ar away, missT" f " "Yes. some little distance unfor tunately. It'll take rn,e about t an 'hour to get there." ilucky in having only a very few minutes to wait at Victoria Station. : There was just time to telephone j Rupert and tell him that she couldn't dine with him that eve ning. "It's Jane, . Rupert. There's (been an accident. She's badly 'hurt." : '. , The quick concern in Rupert's p; voice touched her heart. "Darling, t I'm so sorry... Can I do anything?" "I don't think so. I'll telephone : you this evening1, if you're likely to " be at your apartment, and tell ycu Iwhen I'll be coming back to town. ! T -inst flnn't knfnn triiite what I shall H do until I get there. . If it's really i "If it's really serious,, will you j telephone to me and let me come j down and be with you?" Stella promised she, would. - She 4 hung up the receiver, and leaned the telephone booth,', thinking how grateful she was to be able to turn to Rupert in her anxiety. The girl who had telephoned Sparks, she'd said was her name had sounded.-, so.- dreadfully .con cerned about what Mad. happened. She'd heard of Stella from Jane and, when the. accident had hap pened, had guessed that Jane 'Would want her to be tpld.. She'd called the Duke Street apartment first. that being the 'telephone number that she c found among Jane's na pers and had then, beea given Mrs. Blake s number. Stella, -hurried ud the steps of the hospital and found the inquiry of fice. ivShe asked for ..Jane After some1 little delay uhe-l man traced her. "ThaV would . theTyodng lady who's a .Waal,,: miss?" " he asked with friendly interest. "Yes. She's, great friend cf mine. I in tfrrjbay anxiouai toiow how sher is ; and: to ge her if: it's possible." ; v She waited while inquiries were made. It was an agonizing few minutes. Supposing the worst had happened? A hundred fears haunt ed her. The man stuck his head through, the. JUtUs cubbyhole of his office. "She's on the third floor, miss. If you will go up, the nurse will see you." Stella took the elevator. She emerged into a long wide corridor. shining with cleanliness and smell- f ing faintly or disinfectant. A nurse f came toward her. She was an el i derly woman, with a kindly sympa i thetic smile. "You want to inquire j about jmiss j-amDon.'" 1 "Please. She has no relations. I'm " really the nearest person to her. ; I've beefl'so dreadfully worried. . i The nurse smiled reassuringly ' Briefly she told Stella what had . happened and went on, "The officer who was in the plane has been his 'farm,' while' Mrs. Rauth, 'Mrs. CarJ Zaiser and Mrs.., J. J.-.,- Cullen made '-i party to drive .to Paul... The ladies attended .the meeting of the riatsmouth deader. I - ' . " - . . . ,).' . Hears of Relative's Honor ,- The World-Herald has an 'article covering the awarding of recognition to Staff Sgt. George Davis, 'who; is iu the United -States on leave and has been: in 277 air raids over Bel gium and : Germany. Sergeant Davis is a nephew of George Davis of Man ley.- : , .... . : .. f , 1 : ' Getting Along Fine . Billy Sheehan, son of Mr. . ami Mrs. Mike Sheehan, who is at the Bryan Memorial hospital at Lincoln, romc Tips loved her and would" always love her. quite beside himself with anxiety. I'm expecting him back at any mo ment. Poor man, he's-been, here on and off nearly all day. He's most terribly upset, though cf course there isn't the slightest blame attached to him." Stella could well imagine how he must be feeling. "Is it possible to see her?" she asked. The nurse shook her head. "I think perhaps it would be better to wait just a little while. ; If you would care to' sit . in the 'waiting room downstairs no, thaTs such a cheerless place. Come in here, this is my sitting room: Please do make yourself at home." "Thank you. You're very kind." The nurse closed the door upon her. Stella-walked to the -window and looked down on the street be low. She ..stood there quite still, praying for- Jane's recovery, t She didn't hear the door behind her open, s Only as it closed again was she aware of any sound. She turned and her breath caught in her throat. "Tips!" ' "Stella!" They stared- at each other. They said simultaneously, "What are you doing here?" . Stella .said, "Jane's my dearest friend." " "- . Tips looked as if he couldn't be lieve it. "Why didn't she tell me?" Stella felt the color creep into her cheeks. "That was my fault. I didn't want her to. I I just sort of thought I'd rather you didn't know where I was. I had an idea that if Jane told you she and I were such friends, you might feel you ought to do something about me." "Oh, Stella!" There was a wealth of reproach in his voice. , Stella said gently, "I m sorry. Tips. I wish now I'd let her tell you. . .. Tips ran a hand back over his hair. . "I'm beginning to. see now what must have happened. That was why she suddenly changed. At first she was sweet to me and it was all plain sailing or looked as if it were going tcf be. Then one night when I dined with her she was utterly-different That must have been when she'd discovered that. you and I had once been married." His eyes darkened. "I take it you didn't give me a very good characr ter?" Stella said desperately,-and as she felt, wholly inadequately, "I'm sorry. Tips. Oh, Tips, please don't look atkme like that. I didn't know that you and she . . ." He laughed shortly. "My dear- Stella, she wouldn't have anything to do with me. I fell in love with her the first moment I saw her." ' Stella went ,to him and laid a hand on his arm. ,'It will l?e all ight. Tips dear. ' I feel quite sure it will be. You, I take it, were in the machine that hurt her?" "Yes, I'd had a good bit of it .shot away and only, just: managed .to get bacji. I As it was, I couldn't quite make i; it. I landed $ on the rougn ground outside the airdrome. I'd no time to think that anyone would 'beV .walking there. .And I never vsaw Jicr. i I didn't know it had happened till' they came running aiong jo tea pie." ms voice broke. Stelld : looked at him pityingly, Time ticked slowly away. The nurse came in at last and said that there were signs of returning conscious ness. She d tell them at once if there were any real change . . . she went A way a gain arid they were left alone together. Tips looked across at Stella. "What's been happening to you,.tnose last lew years?"- She told him briefly . what . she'd been doing, of her meeting with Jane and, their subsequent joining up together. "You're not married again?" "No, but I think I'm going to be.,r "I'm glad. I'd like to think you'll be nappy. Who is he, Stella?" "A man called Rupert Grant. I've known him for some years." A warm glow ran through her as she said these words. It was odd" how quite suddenly she. knew, .that, now she had met Tips again she could has been recovering from an appendi citis operation. . Mrs. C. Holt, who is a patient at the Clarkson hospital at Omaha, is reported as getting along very v.tll from her operation. Mrs. Henry Snell and , Mr. and Mrs. Albert Snell and their little son, Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Gioesscr, the latter of near Mynard, were din ner guests Sunday of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Rauth., . Mr- and Mrs. Frederick Stohlman and George, Rau were in Omaha on last Tuesday where they were look ing after some business. Loading Gravel Here The Lyman-Richey company, who marry Rupert She'd been in love with a dream and now she - had awakened. "And you, Tips? What's been happening to you?" . "Nothing very much. U&til I met Jane ..." She went back across the! years and asked a question, bringing back to their minds a time that both wanted to forget but knowhig that after this once it would never be mentioned again. "What happened to Fay, Tips?" A shadow crossed his facd. "She died." i "Oh, Tips!" ; "The man she was engaged to chucked her when the divorqe went through, even though her name wasn't brought in. She wis run down at the time and she became very-ill. I don't really thSik she wanted to live." r Stella looked at him bleakly. What could she say, she asked herself?, To tell him she was sorry -was so desperately inadequate. "You were ; wrong about Fay and me, Stella," j '. he said quietly. "I told you that 1 1 once before and you wouldn't be- lieve me." , i "I just don't know what .to say, Tips." j "That's all right." v ; ' "I was such a little fool jh those days." .; "We were both rather- voun?.' f Maybe that was what was wron" with us." She held out her hand to him.' "Can we be friends now?" He took the hand and held it tightly for a moment. "Of. course, my dear.'. : i Thank you, .Tips. Thafs very- generous of you." There was the sound of footsteps in the corridor and the door opened. The-nurse smiled from one to the other. ."She's recovered conscious ness and Doctor Davidson is feeling most, connaent about her. J I won der which of you would like to see her-first." - . Stella hesitated. Tips said, "You go "first, Stella." Stella- followed the nurse down the long corridor into a private rdom; where they had put Jane. She. looked as white as the snowy coverlet,' a bandage round her head, a little stray dark curl showing. She gave Stella a faint smile. ' Dar ling, how nice of you to come!" Stella bent and kissed her. Jane felt for Stella's hand and held it. "I'm going to be all right Have you seen lips, darling?" Yes. I've lust had a lonr talk with him." rv ..; . Stella felt Jane's fingers tighten convulsively in her own. Whatever happened she mustn't let Stella see how-it affected her. Besides, she had to be glad for Stella's sake. But instead; Stella was saying gently, "I'm going to marry Ru pert Jane." "Oh, Stella! But Tips ... I al ways thought you were still in love with. him?" Stella shook her head. j"So did I. But I'm not, darling." ' Jane closed her eyes afljer Stella had left her. She was feeling so much happier. Because now if : Stella didn't want Tips . . ThB dqor opened again. She heard the nurse's quiet voice. "Please remember she's already just had one visitor. She mustn't talk too much." Jane opened her eyes. She held put her arms to him. "Tips, dar ling. - "Oh, Jane." He held her close to him, then stood looking down at her. -"The figure in the carpet. Jane, You've got to admit at last that you can't get away from it." Jane reached up a hand and drew him down to her again. , "I don't want to. I never did really. But I was just scared." But as he kissed her again she knew that she needn't be frightened any longer. Tips loved her and would always love her. From now on, despite the war, despite all that might happen, they were on the threshold of a new life together.

(UP)1 -In formed sources said today that Of fice of Price" Administration'' "plans to reduce the consumer price of ap plies have 'failed and that similar efforts to cut the retail price of organges'and some 18 fresh vege tables -also appears to be doomed.

Pressure from the growers, however, resulted in, rais ing the proposed ceiling by one cent on orders by Economic Stabilization Director Fred M. Vinson, it was said. ' The new regulation as amended has not yet been officially announc ed. The OPA also was preparing an orange regulation establishing an annual average ceiling of 9.7c a pound.
