An ideal situation had been secured
by Rhoda Marsh and she fully ap-
preOaated it's benefits. WaldrOn &
Bayne was a well established brok-
erage house, the stenographic work
was light, the actual working hours
few and the compensation was most
liberal.
81 haven't met Mr.. Bayne yet"
Rhoda told4her mother. "He is away
on business, but if he is anything like
Mr.. Waldron l have certainly nothing
to complain Of Mr.. WaldrOn told me
ne was going away for months rest
when his partner comes back"
The group Of offices comprised four
rooms. At the back of the suite was
a compartment that was almost vault
like in it's presentment. It had heavy
barred door, a hish-up tier of small
windows and was filled with metal
boxes that held the securities Of the
firm. Half of Rhoda's time was Civ
en- to arranging these and keeping
trace of transfers and coupon collec-
tions.
Merle WaldrOn was a thoughtful
apdsindulgent employer. Often, when
the exchange upon which he operated
I1as closed, he would seem to take
pleasure and relief from business
care in telling Rhoda something Of his
career and his plans for the future.
Il have put in ten hard years build
ing up this business from a small
start" he narrated. "My idea in TAX
ing in Mr.. Bayne as a working part
ner was to divide the responsibility.
My dream is to retire and settle down
in some quiet pretty village"
Mrs Marsh noted subdued and
almost disappointed expression on the
fass of her daughter when she came
nome one afternoon and announced
that Mr. Waldron had gone away on
his vacation.
"And Mr.. Bayne has returned?"
eyes, mother, and I have something
to tell you about him that troubles
me. He pays no particular attention
to me, does not, recall that he ever
saw me before, but I remember him
clearly. 1t has made me uneasy to
recognize him as man who used to
visit the offices of Gurdon & Co., that
mining stock concern for which I
worked two years ago, and which
scored such a disastrous failure.
Mother and daughter discussed the
situation. However, Rhoda accepted
her mothers counsel to copfne her at
tentidn to her duties.
Rhoda came into the office from
lunch one noon to oyerhear some
The patriot. [volume] (Indiana, Pa.) 1914-1955, 1919-09-20

words in the next room that filed her
with alarm. Her appearance was un.
noticed by Bayne and a companion.
Distinctly Rhoda heard Bayne say:
"Your part is easy Merrill. I will
make out a check for fifty thousand
dollars which you are to cash, take
the train at once for Bonneville and
put up ct the Clarendon hotel. I will
join you there this evening. I am
going to take what negotiable bonds
we have. It's a clean sweep and fixes
us for life.
Rhoda pretended to busy herself
among some letters as the man she
now knew to be a colleague of Bayne
came into the room she was in. She
was trembling all over as Bayne in
turn crossed the apartment, but he
did not notice her agitation.
Miss Marsh" he spoke, ''you may
90 home. if you wish, as I have a
meeting here with some clients thai
will take all the afternoon
Rhoda bowed silently, although hen
heart was beating like a trip hammer.
She went into the rear room, where
she kept her wraps Then she acted
upon the first impulse that came to
her mind. There was one special box
where the negotiable securities were
kept. In moment she had emptied
it. In another she had bundled its
contents into small safe. locked by

ping in Tumlinville.
''Yes, but 1 heerd that he was in

'NIebby so. He may have been puny,
but I didn't notice it, I found him

keg, and when / asked him if he had

two keys. which she hid among
some old files, and was breathlessly
arranging to hasten from the spot to
the bank. when Bayne entered the
room, noticed the empty box and
guessed the truth.
She stood at bay as he confronted
her She defed him as he threaten
ed and stormed. At last, fiinging her
to a chair, he left the room, closing
and locking the barred door, and she
surmised that he planned to keep her
a prisoner until he returned with tools
to break open the safe.
The moment he was gone Rhoda
sprang into action. Her eyes flashed
with determination as she ran to a
chair, placed it directly in the center
of the room and crumpled up and
lighted a handful Of newspapers,
mounted the chair, held the flames
beneath the tiny globe of mercury in
the ceiling and knew that within a
very few minutes the fire department,
given the electric signal, would be
scanning the building to locate the
source of the same.
The main door was broken open and
the barred one forced free. To a po-
lice officer Rhoda narrated her story.
Somehow, guessing the truth, prob
ably, Bayne must have fled. A tele-
gram secured his accOmplice and the
fifty thousand dollars at Bonneville,
and the man confessed the truth, cor
roborating Rhoda's accusation.
You jewel of courage and loyalty -
commended Merle WaldrOn when he
returned, and a little llater, so con-
vinced was he that he had found a
treasure in the bright, intelligent girl
who had saved him his fortune, that
he asked her to share it and his love.

DELINQUENT PARENTS.
BY DOROTHY DIX.
THE WORLDS HIGHEST PAID WOMAN WRIT

Spare the rod and spoil the child
is a most solemn truth which day by
day is being impressed upon the Dis
trict Attorneys Office" said Chief AS
sistant District Attorney Alfred j.
Talley. of New York. the other day.
Mr. Talley went on to say: The
past year has seen an almost COM
plete lot OF new offenders. They are
not men and women OF mature age.
but boys and girls whose ages range
from fifteen to eighteen years.
The only explanation of it is the
lack of family discipline which breeds
lack of respect for properly consti-
tuted authority. The parents of to-
day allow their children too much
liberty, and permit them to remain
out late at night: and they get into
bad company and are led into COM
mitting all manner of crimes from
burglary and highway robbery TO
murder"
This is a terrible indictment of the
parenthood of today, but no one can
deny its justice. When children go
wrong it is the parents fault, for
into their hands was given a plastic
soul to mould into whatsoever shape
they pleased. and IL they have not
formed it into a thing of beauty and
usefulness, the sin is upon their own
heads.
There is no crime in the world to-
day comparable with the way the
average child is being raised. Obe-
dience is a lost art. A child that
would do what it was told to do,
without argument or protest. would
be a curiosity that people would go
miles to see.
