 Jack and l both made dive to pick him up, and in doing 60, our heads came together with resound- ing crack. It almost knocked me off my feet. Little Jack cried harder than ever, as he thought something terrible had happened. I picked him up, and Jack had forgotten every thing but the physical pain to him. self

 In the meantime mother had brought wet cloth and we pro- ceeded to wash away the blood. We found that the circle comb with the wreath of flowers that I had been wearing on my bobbed hair had broken and one of the teeth had cut q gaxh in Jacks face just at the side of his eye. He seemed to think it had entered the eye itself.
 Of course, consternation ruled Mother sent directly for the doctor I made Jack Ne down upon the sofa, and covered his face with cloth wet in diluted borscic acid until the physician should arrive.

 He came back from the direction of Sally. What? She was crying? He could feel his soul squirm. She was crying, but 1t was 50 unobtru- sive, so nearly fearless, that the Wreck knew he was not expected to observe it.
 I'm sorry everything has gone busted" he said.
 "Oh, nothing much is busted" said Sally, quickly. That's all right.
 "Oh."
 He stole another glance. She was not crying, after all; at least, not now. Strange people, women. You never could tell how long they were going to stick to one thing Still, if there was anything he could do for Sally Morgan, all she had to do was 10 say the word.
 "Of course, we don't need to tell the sheriff it's all off," he said, sud- denly.
 "No?"

 He broke off with a cry of rage. The fiivver was diving into the brush again and the posse seemed unable 10 stop it. He leaped to assist, slammed on the emergency brake, brought the cantankerous thing to a halt and fired broadside of de- nunciation. But it was more amaz- ing to see that they not only en- dured it. but followed his directions about putting the car back on the road.
 When he came back to her she hastily smothered a laugh. Not for the world did she want him to know that he amused her.

 Yhe memory of the unpleasant incident fingered much longer with Mollie Fawcett, however. l knew that with the capacity for poignant abasement over fancied mistake possessed only by the very young the girl was suffering mental an eush because of her belief that some laxity in her own behavior had caused the trouble.

DAUGHERTY BACKS

Justice Department Has AM
pie Proof of Communist
Propaganda, He Says.

Attorney General Daugherty declared
in formal statement today. that the
Department of Justice had abundant
evidence" to back up the State Depart
ment's recent statements concerning
communist propaganda in the United
States
The Attorney Generals statement
was prompted by publication of several
letters written some weeks ago by John
W. H. Grim, assistant attorney general
saying that the department was without
sufficient evidence to bring criminal pro-
ceedings against communist sympa-
thizers in the United States

the statement of Mr.. Daugherty said
TO certain publicity supposed to have

nunIst propaganda in this country
and pertaining to that publicity ali

of State.
Gave Hughes All Facts.
Il beg leave to call attention to the
fact that some time ago, and before
any publicity had been given out, I
announced that the Department of
Justice would give out no information
in connection with this propaganda:
that she Department of Justice would
furnish the State Department, as it
has done, all the information in its
possession, and that publicity on the
subject would be given out only by
the State Department.
PERSONALLY, l have given out moth
ing for publication since making this
announcement nor authorized any
body else to do SO.
Il have only this to say further.
Apart from the question of prosecu-
tions or of technical requirements to
meet the provisions of particular
statutes. it should be clearly under
stood that the Department if Justice
has abundant evidence to support the
position of the Department of State
with respect to communist propa-
ganda, directed from Moscow, in this
country
