JAMES VANSANT STODDARD
When Mr. Stoddard had recovered
somewhat of his calmness after the re-
Ceipt of the dispatch there was one fea-
ture of it that was more or less confus-
ing. James Vansant's saIutaticn was
quite proper and natural. so was the
announcement of the date of his arrival
and so was his statement regarding the
hopeful condition of the survivors of
the cataclysm. But the announced ex-
pectatiOn that he would leave for
Phoenix today was not so easily diSpOs-
ed Of. At first Mr.. Stoddard saw moth
ing out of the way in it; it seemed to
relate to an inherited inability to stay
away from Phoenix; out on a second
reading il struck Mr. Stoddard that
James Vansant was over young to trav-
Ell yet. Then it occurred to him that his
son Celora NJ. Stoddard had taken the
parental liberty of forging the name
of his first born to the telegram.
But the main fact. the great fact and
the only fact worth while. is that James
Vansant has been born and that the
house of Stoddard has taken a longer
and stronger grip on the future.
b. When this happy news spread i'm
