CASE FOR EUGEN|CS
BY THOMAS CRAWFORD.

"And cousins can't marry" ended
Miss Jones, the village gossip, TIL
umphantly.
That was the law In that particu-
lar state, but it was more than law;
1t was becoming public sentiment.
Arthur Davis believed in eugenics
with all his heart. He was sure that
the marriage of cousins was undesir-
able and entailed physical disaster
upon the children. But he loved Nancy
Reeves as much as twenty-five ever
loved twenty.
The Reeves and Davis families were
the leading ones in the town. Hiram
Reeves had been a ne'er-do-well in his
youth, and had brought unhappiness
on his pretty young wife. At last he
took her West, to return ten years
later with fortune and a pretty little
girl, Nancy, who had come to them
when they had given up all hope Of
hav.lg children.
The Reeves family had re-estab.
lished itself. As Nancy grew older,
Arthur Davis was her constant com.
panion. He loved her before he had
ever heard of eugenics-indeed, before
anybody else had.
Then came the avowal Of love, and
all the village was shocked. There
had been eugenics lecturer there
that summer, and he had painted in
lurid words the awful consequences OF
an inter.marriage between cousins
And Arthur and Nancy, seated in the
second row from the front, felt their
hands relax and their hearts beat
slowly with horror.
Silently they went home. They
parted with averted faces. Next day

The train came in, but Arthur did
not take it. He stood as one stunned.
What would Nancy do all alone? HIS
duty was with her in this crisis. What
ever his own suffering, he must fight
it down and aid her.
Quickly he made his way up the hill
to the house. The front door stood
wide open. He walked upstairs. into
the old woman's bedroom. She lay
unconscious on the bed. 1pd at her
