cate, Inc.
AT Mabel Storrs' words I gasped
and found myself suddenly SO dizzy
that I could hardly steady my hand
on the steering wheel of the car.
Even the thought that my poor little
prodigal father hadn't done Jim a bit
of harm fairly made my heart sing.
The struggle between my love for
jim and my sense of fairness to Dad
Lee has at times beeen terrific. 1
could never be quite sure whether L
wanted to discredit my father be-
cause 1 wasn't proud of him and
wished to get rid of him, or if 1 wish
ed him gone because I feared him.
Now all my stumbling between
what I hoped was right ana what L
longed to do, seemed suddenly over.
Mabel StorrSs knew the facts about
Dad Lee and how he come back into
my life. Perhaps she even under
stood my emotional struggles and
some of my doubts and fears. And
if she felt it safe to take no action,
then surely I need no longer reproach
myself for being a sentimental idiot
you don't think that my father is
a menace to Jin?" 1 asked breath
Iessly. ''Of course, I'm not suggesting
that he would consciously be anything
of the sort-but I mean aren't you
afraid of how Dicks shrewdness en-
ploys-a tried and devoted old mann

laughed throatiIy. 1.-The point where
I'd like to pick up Dicks trail IS at

just what he did with that paper. He

a definite sidelight on his-methods.
And it also suggests why one OF those
Cordovas is now in fighting along
with Mr.. Harrison,
"Perhaps there's still some way of
proving prior rights to a rich oil field.
Perhaps there's a search on for the
missing documents. OF course I'm
only guessing, but I've an idea that
Dick did file the clain-that his IT,

THE SILVER SPHINX

A bedlam of noise smote Rhoda
Gray'S ears as she entered the Silver
Sphinx. A jazz band was in full
swing; on the polished section or the
floor in the center, a packed mass of
humanity sw:rled and gyrated and
wriggled in the contortions of the
--latest" dance, and laughed and
howled immoderately; and around the
sides of the room. the walters rushed
this way and that amongst the
crowded tables. hopping at their
faces with their aprons It seemed
as though confusion itself held sway!
Rhoda Gray scanned the occupants
II the tables. The Silver Sphinx was

There is an old legend that who
two SUBMITS of Mount Parnassus.
became either inspired or mad.
The meaning of this legend has
always seemed to me to be merely
this:
When it comes to a difficult test
the strong will come out inspired with
new strength and powers, while the
weak will lose what little poise and
sanity and strength he has.
I know a woman who has been
tried. Life has not dealt gently with
her, but most of her troubles come
from her own nature and her own
way of meeting her problems. She
has never flung back her mead ana
come out to grapple with difficulty
But instead, lowering her head sadly.
she has looked down contemplating
her own misfortunes.
Perhaps If she had once looked
ahead and tried to solve her own
problems they would have been con-
stuored But she has always waited
for things to work out, for some mir
acIe to bring her happiness for what
she feels is a square deal
Suppose a. coward slept in a house
reputed to be haunted. Is there a
chance in the world that he wouldn't
see all sorts of terrible spectres? Ana
the fact that they were conJured up
by his Imagination wouldn't make
them any the more endurable or
any the less terrible to deal with. He
like the famed wretch who slept on
Lycorea, would come out of his or
deal mad.
But suppose a man of strength
and sanity spent a night in a
haunted house." Human magma
ton might be put to a strain by creak-
ing doors and branches swaying in
the wind and tapping against window
panes. But calm sanity would be
able to arrive at some explanation for
most of the terrifying noises
AS we go through life, the weak
and terrified let each difficulty sap
more of energy. more of faith and
more of confidence. But the strong,
even though they find the fight hard,
make it with confidence in the
strength they have and the greater
strength that will be given them
f'The living sense grows by exer-
else" And so by enduring and clear
ing the way sane1y man comes into
his strength
After all we are not taxed beyond
our strength. Som etimes we think
situations are too hard to bear. But
almost invariably when we meet
them sanely the difficulties stink
away.
To go to the mountain top and to
sleep there in storm and cloud is the
portion of any courageous soul. Even
towards are sometimes forced to do
this And the choice we all have is
how staunchzy we shall endure and
what we propose to let our struggle
bring us-not what we shall let it do
to us

RADIO CONCERTS NOW ARE "OLD STUFF"
TO ONE OF CHICAGO'S YOUNG WIZARDS

Before the present radio "craze"
swept the country. John Pringle,
fourteen. Chicago school Ky, was
doing rushing bushes living his
friends wireless concerts. Pringle
charged admission fees of five and
ten cents and didn't worry about
war taxes. Uncle Sam did that.
Pringle has one Of the best
equipped radio plants in the coun-
try. And what is more he con-
structed it himself. The lad is ii
radio wizard" In addition to
building a tower in his back yard
from which to suspend Lis aerial,
Pringle went so far as to construct
the batteries which he uses in his
set

The aristocrat in the suit realm
at the present moment is the
covert suit. Tweeds have had their
fling and the few women who have
not bought tweeds will now buy a
smartly tailored covert suit and be
the envy of all who behold. Here
is one model which features bias

and pockets.

ted hat the Bishop-Brissman report
of the state industries was correct in
practically all of it's essential features,
but declared that this report had
shown all funds in the Bank Of North
Dakota duly accounted for.
He declared that he himself had
made the motion in the senate for the
printing Of this report along with the
report of the house investigating
committee and the majority and
minority reports of the senate COM
mittee. The house investigating COM
mittee he said had backed in the
wrong way" just as the Independent
majority in the house did most things.
In referring to the early history OF
the N~onpartisan league Mr.. Baker
read from the minutes of the state
bankers association to show hat the
movement to get the farmer a better
price for his grain, which led to the
demand for a state owned terminal

N~onpartisan league he said had sim

project after the Legislature of 1915

claring that the prosperity of all
classes of the population was bound
up in that of the farmers, and that
the bankers and business men were
now coming to a greater realization
of this,
ANY banker or business mar will
tell you now that it is impossible for
the farmer to make a living if he has

period loans" said Mr.. Baker.
He denied that there hadfbeen any
improper use made Of the funds in
the Banklof North Dakota, and de-
clared that the money used to pay the
expenses of that bank was the inter-
est money earned on the public funds
