CHAPTER X.
A Caller.

As the first of the month was APP
preaching, Wassaquam had brought
his household bills and budget to Alan
that morning directly after breakfast.
To furnish Alan with whatever sums
he needed, Sheriff. had made a consld-
cradle deposit In Alan's name in the
bank where he carried his own ac-
count; and Alan had accompanied Sher-
rill to the bank to be introduced and
had signed the necessary cards in or
der Ia check against the deposit
Alan had required barely half of the
hundred dollars which Benjamin Cor
vet had sent to Blue Rapids, for his
expenses in Chicago; and he had
brought with him from "home" hun
dred dollars of his own.
The amount which Wassaquam now
desired to pay the bills was much
more than Alan had on hand but that
amount was also much less than the
eleven hundred dollars which the serv-
ant listed as cash on hand. This, Was
saquam stated, was I'm currency and
kept by him. Benjamin always had
had him keep that much In the house !;
Wassaquam would not touch that sum
now for the payment of current ex-
penses.
On the first of the month, therefore,
Alan drew upon his new bank account
to Wassaquam's order, and In the early
afternoon Wassaqunm went to the
bank TO cash his check-one of the
very few occasions when Alan had
been left In the house alone; Wassa-
quam's habit, II appeared, was TO go
about on the first of the month and
pay the tradesmen In person.
Some two hours later, and before
WassaQmm could have been expected
back, Alan. in the room which had be-
come his, was startled by a sound of
heavy pounding, which came suddenly
TO him from floor below. Shouts
heavy, thick, and unlntelligible-min
gled with the pounding. lie ran swift
ly down the stairs, then on and down
the service stairs into the basement.
The door TO the house from the area
way was shaking to Irregular, heavy
blows. which stopped as Alan reached
the lower hallway; the shouts contin-
ued still moment more. Now that
the noise of pounding did not inter
fere, Alan could make out what the
man was saying. ben Corvet y
the name was almost unintellgible--
ben COrvet Benz" Then the shouts
stopped, too.
Alan sped TO the door and turned
back the latch. The door bore back
upon him, not from push, but from
weight without which had fallen
against il. big, heavy man, with
rough cap and mackinaw coat, would
have fallen upon the floor If Alan had
not caught him. His weight in Alans
arms was so dull, so inert, that, II viO-
lcnce had been his intention, there was
Roth.ng TO be feared from him now.
alan looked up, therefore, to see II
any one had come with him, The alley
and the street were clear. The snow
In the areaway showed that the man
had come to the door alone and with
great difficulty; he had fallen once up
IN the walk. Alan dragged the man
hIAo the house and went back and

fellow again and dragged him up the
stairs and 10 tAs lounge In the library.

MANUFACTURERS AGAINST
SOLDIER BONUS BURDEN

Sc, 500, 100000 of obligations which
must be met by our own people
within the next sixteen months.
Despite the budget economies in
effect and contemplated, the Treas
ury anticipates a deficit in both this
and the next fiscal year. and we are
presented with the paradoxical ef-
fort to save in the departmental APP
propriations of the government,
while proposing through the bonus
TO restore forms OF rejected taxation
and to enormously increase the ex-
else burdens which it was the chief
purpose of both parties to reduce.
II became daily more apparent
that more members than was hith-
erto expected, both in the House
and Senate, will oppose the cash
bonus in any form. In public state
ments, eleven members OF the SEN
ate, six Democrats and FIVE Republic
cans, have announced their deter
mined opposition to the proposal
These Senators are: james w.
Wadsworth, Jr., New York; Oscar
w. Underwood; Alabama; william
Il. Borah. Idaho; Carter Glass, Vir-
ginia; Francis r. Warren. Wyom-
ing; William II. King, Utah; Knute
Nelson, Minnesota; John Sharp Will
liams, Mississippi; Henry l.. Myers,
Montana; George Wharton Pepper,
! Pennsylvania, and Nathaniel b.
Dial, South Carolina.
J Senators Warren, OF wyoming,
| and Nelson, of Minnesota. are the
sole surviving veterans OF the Civil
War in the Senate. Senator Borah
has put both the economic and pa
! triouc considerations at issue with
singular force and clarity. He says:

pensation for what-for service when
the country is in peril, for defeating
the enemy? How can men be COM
pensated for such service. Were
our soldiers the hired defenders OF
the Republic?\ In one breath they
tell us we went to war for humanity
and civilization, and in the next that
we went for compensation. The
soldier can leave to his children nc
finer legacy than a record of ser
vice in the Great War. It will con-
stitute, in a sense. an aristocracy OF
patriotism. How much that legacy
will be increased in worth by having
written across in the words adjusted
compensation
1--WE have reached a crisis in this
country with reference to financial
and economic affairs. When we con-
slider the public debt of the United
States. the public debt Of our respec-
tive states. the public debt of our
cities and then contemplate the fact
that our taxes are still at high tide
It is no tvery difficult to realize what
this cash bonus business means. The
man is blind who does not recognize
that the most widespread and threat
ening aspect of public affairs at this
time is the feeling on the part of the
people everywhere that their govern
( ments. either through indifference
or incapacity, cannot or will not re-
lieve them of the crushing burdens
under which they are now bending. o

Members can perform no greater
service for the country at this time
than to attract community attention
to this important issue in every pos
sible way, not only through discus
sion before boards of trade, cham
bers of commerce and local forums
of every kind, but by directly pre-
senting to wage earners, farmers and
the ex-service men the inevitable eff

is every indication that such a bur
