all along that he looked like a

game that / shan't. willard says

night after I'd told him what I'd
learned during the day and had
shown him the FIVE hundred dollar
note. Il might forgive him for
some of the things he's done" he
said. but he'll suffer for trying
to bribe you with his phoney
notes"
Willard was tickled to death
that l had found out what did
about the oil business. And he
congratulated me for getting the
name and address OF the man who
told me about IL.
Hell make a good witness when
we get this thing lined up" he said.
That is, provided we need any wit
nesses." he added
All of which sounded pretty mys-
terious to me, but | didn't question
Willard further. I felt I'd learned
enough for one day. And felt also
that I'd had enough excitment.

narrow-minded mother and a father
who had lived by the standard OF
wild oats" and had allowed his
son to come up according to the
same rule, but had turned him
down with contempt. when bad
blood, poor example and worse
training or lack of 1t. brought his
son to drink and disease.
He did not tell her. No one told
her. He married her, a rich wom-
an, and stripped her of her riches.
She loved, honored and obeyed him
until she could no longer do so
without disregarding the voice Of
conscience. He, himself. Is robbed
OF home, wife and children. But
he alone Is not to blame. His
father and mother are much to
blame for the tragedy of their
lives.
Why didn't some one tell that
