events I had been through was at
the root Of my agitation.
She kept up the pretence on the
journey home and even after We
reached there. Not once did she re-
fer 10 the wounded officer who had
played so prominent part in the
drama in which I had also had a
role until a few moments before
she left me.
Ny homecoming had been quite
an ovation. Lillian had telephoned

me off 20 my room, explaining that

WHY LILLIAN WARNED MADGE
THAT SHE WAS MINED"

] had thought that by going nome
I should be able 10 rid myself OF the
involuntary fascination which Capt.
Grantland's personality had for me,
but I soon discovered my error.
III ne had cunningly planned to
leave with me an impression Of
tragic, mysterious suffering which
should occupy my imagination. he
could not have contrived anything
better than his last conversation
me at the hospital.
This mournful remark that "An
DAYS were alike 10 the poor devils
who had no home worth speaking
Of" was Only one OF the incidents
which excited my pity and curiosity
I do not think he meant to be
either tragic or cryptic. but he was
both. and at no time more so than
when ! gave him my hand in fare
well.
He had risen 10 his feet unsteadi-
". and he lowered above me, his
thinness accentuating his stature.
Il suppose this is the end Of the
path" he said, and there was un-
mistakable sadness in his voice.
1 made no reply. because 1 didn't
quite understand him, and-because
-also-there was a queer, choking
feeling in my throat.
You're a very brave and re-
sourceful woman. Mrs. Graham" he
said after a moment and the tight
ness of his clasp hurt my hand. 1T

"ALL DAYS ARE ALIKE TO ME-"
Capt. Grantland did not leave the
hospital after AL. upon the day he
had set for himself His imperious
will, which had so enabled him 20
triumph over his weakness and de-
lirium. had in turn been conquered
by the consequences Of his own In
discretion.
He had insisted upon being al
lowed 20 talk TO me undisturbed,
had told me the story OF the dra-
matte happenings al the inn. and
had in turn listened % my tale OF
the events before his appearance. He
hEd done this against the protests
Of his nurse. and ne paid for his

Therefore II was four days after

I found out something else when
I went 70 bid the cOnvalescent hero

terms-good-by 1 realized that It
was high time I went home and had
certain things out with my own soul.
For found that 1 was going home
with the greatest reluctance. And
il was reluctance based upon no
other feeling than the awed and
admiring enjoyment I had in the
society Of the officer who had saved
me from death.
CuriOusly enough 7 did not sense
any disloyalty to Dicky in the feeling
i was experiencing. even though the
contrast between my husbands at
titude toward the world war and that
OF this dashing. heroic figure kept
forcing itself upon me in spite OF my
strenuous efforts to bury It so deep
that 7 should never be able 20 think
about Il.
Ny feeling resembIed the shy he
ro-worship OF a schoolgirl rather
than any other feeling. and blamed
myself bitterly for my weakness
when the full force OF It burst upon
me at the moment OF my parting
with the wounded officer.

seem to notice this unwise proceed

conviction that she had washed her
hands Of responsibility for her re-

the door behind her I took the chair

Courage

The men who went overseas to fight on alien
soil for the maintenance of democratic principles
of government were not towards. Courage was
the essential quality in that crisis
In the reconstruction era, the same type of
courage is required. American citizens dare not
lose that quality in the throes of the gigantic
problems of social and industrial adjustment in
which we are involved. If we lose faith in our
institutions and in the ability of sound Aneri-
canism to solve problems as they arise, we will
rnuddle our viewpoint and perhaps even con-
tribute to the chaos we are trying to prevent.
True optimism is based on courage. 1t ap-
praises all the difficulties of problem, estimates
Alright all the obstacles, and then with supreme
confidence in its ability to overcome them,
rlunges into the work. It never admits the pos
sibility of defeat or failure.
On that principle rests the wonderful potency
of our nation both government and as self
reliant, conquering people. The pioneers never
Quailed before the hardships of the wilderness
They believed themselves capable of clearing the
forest, raising their food, making their clothing
and producing everything necessary for their
household.
It was the same spirit that actuated the in
dustrial pioneers of this country. The excellence
o. European manufacture did not deter them
from making iron, Steel and the thousands of
! products that are converted from these ma
terials and wood into the finished product. The
same brand of courage impeled our investors to
put their money into the young and growing in
dustrial and mercantile concerns.
We need new baptism in this courage Of the
fathers today. A gloomy view of our domestic
problems will not help in their solution. We
must approach them with a reliance upon our
ability to solve them. We must believe that the
! people of this nation capable inherently and
| by their training to solve perplexing problems
Justly and to the satisfaction of all parties.

Building Operations in Richmond

Building operations a greater scale than
may be imagined by citizens are under way in
Richmond at present New residences in many
parts of the city are under construction and i'm
provements on many old houses are being made.
Construction of additions to factories and the
portant factor in swelling the total amount of
new building going in Richmond today.
The development of Richmond demands the
construction of new buildings for residence and
business purposes. The present construction is
Ear from being adequate to meet the needs.
Relief for housing facilities will be offered
when the project in the process of for1na-
tan is ready to begin the construction of homes
on basis that will provide houses for the work
required in our industries.
We sometimes overlook the importance at
tached to the erection of new homes. Increased
power in factories will not help the city
unless homes provided for the workers who
will be needed when the additions to the plants
are completed.
There is no idleness in Richmond now. 1t
follows that the increased capacity of our fac
tories, made possible by the additions, will re-
quire more men, and these cannot be obtained un-
less assurance is given that homes can be pro-
vided
The erection of homes is vital one to the
growth and prosperity of the city. It must be en-
couraged and assistance must be given to those
who willing to obtain homes of their own
