 "I-won't-tell,"
 Then" Mark exclaimed roughly we can do nothing more. Van Dyke telephone down and see if-Oh, hero you are. Neligan! Got that plain. clothes man downstairs?"

 Tom whirled about on the others

 No, no!' cried Wanda, trying 10 throw her open hand across his mouth. Don't"
 If she consents rushed on Tom, "Ill marry her at once whether in prison or out. love her. For my sake won't you-?"
 I'm very sorry, Tom" replied Mark, but she's not your wife, yet. And she has her release In her own ha1ds. She has only to speak"
 "Dadi" appealed the boy.
 Not on your worthless life," grow. led Blake. That's the very thing she's been working up to all the time. l knew 1t and I've been waiting for this. Her price is my consent. And l won't pay it, That's what ] meant when said the price was too high"
 If you've any influence with her, Tom remarked his brother -in-law, you'll use 1t to make her tell"
 He hasn't any influencei" retorted Wanda before Tom could speak. "Ex. cept that his standing by me against you all proves to me I'm doing right. And-do you think. Jim Blake, that Id marry son of yours? Not if he was John D. Rockefeller and E. IL. Sothern rolled into one. Not till I've squared my account with you"
 You won't marry son of Jim Blake s?' echoed Tom Well. after tonight I'm not Jim Blakes son. Heres where 1 cut loose and"

 There he is at the door," ars..ercd Robertson as the buzzer sounded Le. him in, Neligan." "I--wont-tell!" Nellgan opened the door. Slandisa stood on the threshold Tom whc had leaned forward pugnaciously, drew back.

 That is why I am here" curtly answered Standish.

 Gregg ordered Robertson, turning to the highly-entertained Kansan, twill you go and get Standist? Ask him to come here"
 "All right" ruefully assented Gregg, making sadly for the outer door
 Don't try to stick it out, girl" ex. horted Blake. You can't afford to get square with me at this price"
 Cant I? Wait and see"

 No, don't"
 You want him to win. then, just for political reasons"
 That's it."
 "If any other nan than Standish were fighting the organization. you would act as you are now?"

The University of Kansas recent ly naugurated a child welfare de- pertinent which will afford training having to do with an lmportan. phase of town life. Besides giving instruction in child welfare work the department will arrange health- full vacation employment for school boys throughout the state Par ents' Clubs and Parent Teachers Associations will be organized, and in this way the welfare of children in small towns will be promoted An aim will be the establishment of playgrounds and social centers.
 The example set by the kansa. State University is worthy of emu lation in other states. and no doubt similar departments will be in- augurated in other universities The proper development of the child at the age when right direct ing means more than at any other time is a work in community de- velopment that should not be over looked anywhere
