Her terror gathered force at the

to her lights-she had stolen his
clothes "Cuz he done try to bust

woman's excuse.
Helen had found her husband sit

blue. He had bought it of a negro
waiter, he explained with one of his
frozen smiles. his features twisted
to the look OF cloying sweetness
which he used when his soul was
gone and the black beast was astride
his back.
Helen Leffley went on with her
cooking, now moving a saucepan to
the back of the range, now carrying
the skillet to the sink to drain hot
water from her mess of potatoes.
She felt sure that in yesterdays tele-
gram Bob Squirting had called her.
Was he in trouble? What had he said

Ting-a-ling-a-ling!
A loose-tongued clamor rang
through hollow depths in the Turn
bull house. A mouse scuttled away
from behind the cake box. Heller
stood palsied for an instant, then she
remembered the doorbell. one of
which work by knob from the out
side. Who would be calling at this
time of night? Fearful lest the noise
should be repeated and arouse Fred

She had just opened the wrought

timid hope that she wouldn't miss
her train when an automobile came
IN the dusky street and stopped be-

Honesty Needed

How can the average college pro-
fessor of political economy teach his
class with straight face? Remember
what happened to the French priest
hood after that sly villain Voltaire had
flung his poisoned darts? These good
people had gone on in the way of
peace and quiet without suspicion of
trouble, while the terrible depriva-
lions of the French peasantry had
aroused among them a feeling of ami
mostly against all authority, secular
and divine. Voltaire's blighting sar-
casm was able to undermine the re-
spect of the people for all religion be-
cause the church was dividing the
spoils with the oppressors. There were
many earnest men even in the church
who saw the evil, but could do nothing
to avert the catastrophe. If untruth
is taught in colleges, it will not be long
before moral revolt will take place
and much of that which is really good
be sacrificed.
