The Auditor Business The cost of auditing accounts has been recognized for years as a necessary item in operating any busi ness; and in the last decade we have realized audits are necessary in our local and state government. The state of Texas is having its first official audit made. The man in charge, Moore Lynn, is hewing to the line. Where he finds errors he points them out. His work has been under barrage of criticism, first by this offended party and next fov another. It's a case of whose toes get stepped on. It is to be hoped ttnt li ' c .d d^rt ment will soon bring all accounts up to date. When this is done, when errors are cured then his work will te of another sort. Instead cf prying through records of the last five years, his department will be ready to give its attention to current records and prevention of errors The latest announcement from Mr. Lynn's office j concerned a regTetable disorder in the accounts of the Confederate home, of which A. W. Taber is su perintendent. The disorder concerns a relatively small sum. and all evidence points that it resulted from inadequate record-keeping. As Mr Taber de clared for him>elf as he offered his resignation to the board of control, we “have supreme confidence that every act ad today as he was 50 years ago, when no proper gentleman would I . i Gras in hit h~use.

The parents are divorced and Mrs. Rogers is a widow following a tecuid mar riage. Earney Shields, young newspaper photographer, is in love with the girl. Mitchell asks Evelyn Parsons, beautiful widow, to introduce his daughter to other young people. Mrs. Parsons agrees, considering Celia a meapjs to win Mitchell's af fections. She soon became jealous of the girl and schemes to get rid of her by encouraging a romance between Celia and Tod Jordan, fas cmating but of dubious character. Mitchell has forbidden his daugh ter to see Jordan Shields comes to New York to work for a photogra phic service and meets Celia She tells him she care3 for Jordan but later realizes it is Shields whom she loves Mrs Parsons goes to Mit chell and tel's him the girl has been meeting Shields surreptitiously. Father and daughter quarrel and Celia leaves for Baltimore. Her mother is not there and all clews to Mrs Robers' whereabouts fail. Mitchell arrives. He and Ceha be come reconciled and return tq New York after he has promised to lo cate Mrs. Rogers Meanwhile. Mrs. Parsons invites Shields to dinner and tells h,m Celia is to marrv Jor-" dan. Later, when Ce'ia telephones, ;he young man avoids an appoint ment. Celia and Lisi go to a mati nee and encounter Jordan, who ♦akes them to tea All three are to gether when thev mee Shields. Now Go On With The Store CHAPTER LII Celia caught List's arm and drew her bark "Wait for me. you two.” she £aid to Lisi and Jordan “Therea someone I want to see. I'll onlv be a moment." Then she hurried to where Shields stood. He had turned av«v and did n^t see her approach. Celia touched his sleeve. Barney!'’ she said. "I'm so glad to find you here I don't think you understood this morning 1” Shields met her eyes directly. "How do you do. Miss Mitchell.’ His tone was coolly polite. "Oh. I know there’s something wrong' What is it? Barney. I want to talk to you—” He stopped her. "You are mis taken. " he satd "I do understand— everything Under the circumstances surely there Is nothing more for eith°r of us to say ” Celia looked s' him A n»rvous laugh caught In her throat. "Pleas4* d*n't trv to teas® now.” she said. "You—why I a’most though* you mean* it! You frightened me!” "I bee your pardon." the young man enrwered. s*Pl formally.

"Rather too public a place to become emotional, isn't it?" he said quietly. "Besides, I m sure we understand each other. May I bid you good afternoon?" "Just a minute." Now it was the gjrl whose words were slow-, tense with restrained anger. Celia s face i had gone white "I believe I begin to see what you mean. You re try- j ing to tell me that—everything's over! Is that it?" ‘ Weil, if you insist on plain terms—" * Don’t bo.her about trying to spare my feelings. Oh. I see I nave made a mistake. A great one. Anu its better that we shouldn t see each other again. Very much bet ter!" • • • Celia paused for a moment, but Shields did not speak "My friends are waiting.’* she said. "They'll be wondering why I'm so slow. Goodby, Barney." "Goodly." Neither seeing nor hearing any thing around her. Celia walked away. she he’d her head high. Though her lips trembled, she was : determined not to give wav to tears A terrific sensation that everything in the world had stopped over whelmed her The blurred objects ahead mean*, no.hing The only thing was to get away, Celia reached the entrance of the hotel She did not see Lisi Duncan or Jordan until she heard Lisi's voice. "Darling we've waited an age What were you doing—writing your memoirs?" Jordan laughed but stopped short as he caught the expression on , Celia's face "Is anything wrong?" he asked. , "Don't you feel well?" H°r answer was forced "Nothing I is wrong. I'm feeling perfectly all ! right.” "You're sure?” "Why. of course. Hadn't we bet ter be starting?” Lisi put h®r hand on her friend s arm. "Say—you are pale around tv-p pills!

He meant it Oh. Celia knew that Barney meant every word of it! She wondered why she co lid not cry out.

She discarded her frock and drew out another i without noticing either of them She changed her oxfords for even ing pumps and dusted her face and neck with powder. Celia moved with nervous energy The stab bing pain in her breast did not lessen Her entire body ached There was a knock on the door and Celia recognised the maid's voice: "Dinner. Miss Celia." "I'll be there immediately." She glanced at her watch and saw it was 10 minutes past the dinner hour. Celia straightened her shoulders and went to the liv ing room.

Do you know if he's heard anything?" Evelyn Parsons’ blue eyes chilled slightly. "Why. no He didn't say anything about your mother. Were you expecting he would?" Celia nodded. “I guess T didn’t tell you before" she said. "He promised to find her.
