He is working as a painter and decora-

recently in his little fiat by a newspa-
per man, who induced him to write the
story of his life. Here it is in his own
words:

Wrongdoing, to lay bare all the secrets
which, though of sin, are sacred and,

OF holiness and virtue; to tear aside
the curtain of silence which has shield

utterly abhorrent. Unwilling is the
pen; difficult is the undertaking.

damned l stand on the isolated peal;
Of my lov%e-happy. When 1 stopped to
the mire of this pit 1 rose to the glory
of the heights. l am not weak enough
to attempt to justify myself in the eyes
of the world, knowing the impossibility
of such q procedure. The world has set
out it's path, which it declares must be
trodden, and those who step from it as
hagrantly and openly as I have done
can V hope to regain the place in
the line. That is lost. The ranks closed
in and the world moved on.
In bitterness and passion l seek the
solution of the eternal and unanswer-
able query, Why? Why should l give
up my happiness? Why should she
give up her happiness? The primal
laws Of love and life gave us to each
other. Are life and happiness nothing
more than one long sacrifice? I think
not.

surrenders and by sacrifice obtains a

of flesh and blood and heart takes for
himself and fights back, and if what he
takes is worth the combat he will fight
the whole world.
The question, however, is whether
happiness lies in the beaten path which
the millions follow or in the forbidden
land On either side. Each must an

the song Of motherhood to u child at
her breast. Time might, as time has
done, make many differences. OF the
future no man can speak.
In telling the story of my life l write
as q sinner to sinners. Those who arc
in q position to cast the first stone will
find my position illogical, but my
knowledge of the world has convinced
me that by the majority l will be un-
