The Unlucky Room By Edna R Patterson

Mrs. Filings, landlady, looked at the

Tor whose husband died on his way from
the Philippines. Then a medical student
took the room. and he got hit by an auto
truck, and was sent home crippled. And
a cousin of Mr.. Tillings came in, and he
lost the position he'd held for twenty
years-lost il the very next week-and

She recalled her last hour with Bliss
Thatcher; the quarrel that had terminal

that Bliss could be so obstinate after his

The creek starts there. You have TO
cross it on a plank to get to the glen.

Yes. that must be why"
And right in that glen reading book

Grandma Partridge, who is the incest old
lady in the world, and who is going to
die some day and leave Louise barrel

That's what the cook would have said

shopping around to make inquiries, but
he didn't come. He was no snooper. He

the hill beckoned to Sidney. 1t looked
restful up there. II looked romantic. 1t

do his thinking.
Reaching the crest OF the hill. the glen

The courts in other cases asserted the

to control the production of commodities
without interference from the general

in two wholly different ways. and the

already proved to be both futile and mis-
chievous; to remedy by more Individual
ism the concentration that WAS the In
evitable result of the already existing
individualism. They saw the evil done
by the big combinations and sought to

storing the country to the economic con-

century. This was hopeless effort, and

regarded themselves as radical Progress
