He conceded that there was only one
thing for him to do, and he intended to
do it, bat he was harassed because he
had so much time to think about it,
Not since the first sickening shock of

his own purpose; it was merely the
machinery of it which perplexed him.
His confidence in himself gradually

he had no more idea of
resisting his impulses than he woulN

Overnight, he had occupied himself
with some elementary accounting.
With Harmon's check, his outstand-

money he could raise by selling his
runabout and a few personal posses

ninety.six hundred dollars; Syracuse

Would Have Both,

Albuquerque Morning Journal:
Your invitation in this mornings
Journal should certainly bring
forth many responses. Your sug-
gestions are stimulating and the
prospect of a new variety of So
ciety sheet is delightful. The pres
ent society page, as such, is high
ly satisfactory; it is dignified and
reports the social events in a read
able manner; but l believe it might
have n broader scope, embracing
the wider interests of the commu-
nifty. Should it not be the mirror,
reflecting our successes and our
failures, helping us to correct orr
errors, and more particularly urg-
ing us to higher endeavor?
Most emphatically, the social
side should not be neglected. So
ciety, in the sense of the mingling
of individuals for the exchange of
ideas, for diversion and mental eX-
hilaration, is one of the important
factors in our lives. The more
frequently people meet under
pleasant circumstances, and learn
something of one another's char
acter, problems, and view point,
the more attainable seems the Wis
ion of cooperation, which is es-
sential to the progress of the com
munity.
Clubs are of equal importance.
They represent the activities Of n
group of united individuals work
ing presumably, for some definite
purpose. Too often one loses sight
