PRESIDENTS SON
. TO FORECO CAMP
Coolidges Decide John viii
| Remain as White House
Guest Until School Opens.

Plans made by President and Mrs.
Coolidge to permit their son John to
attend the citizens military training
camp this summer at Camp Devens.
Mass. have been abandoned, and
John will remain with his parents at
the White House until Fall, when he
enters Amherst College.
1t was the plan and desire of Mr.
and Mrs. Coolidge at the time school
closed last June that both John and
his brother, Calvin, jr, should attend
the camp, but since the death of the
latter the question of Johns attend
ance at the camp has been held in
abeyance. John has been spending
almost all of his time with his mother
and his presence was found to be
such comfort to her that the Presi-
dent finally decided it would be bet
ter for him to remain here until
school opens.
This would have been Johns Sec
ond summer at Camp DevenS, where
he was taking training a year ago
when his father became President.

NEW YORK. July 30.-They are not
to be fooled down at Rockaway
Beach. They know the law. An il
legal BUSINESS is an illegal business.
and there's an end of 1T. So that
when the commuters emerged from
their bungalows for the early morn
, ing dip the other day and saw the
sands covered with eighteen hundred
cases of Scotch they knew just what
to do.
"Oh. mamma" theq cried. "Yoo-
hoo" Come n see"
The two unfortunate truck drivers
whose signals had gone wrong, tried
to argue. The said:
Get to thunder away from that
stuff. see: That's ours"
The commuters just laughed. Those
who had time paused-to explain
briefly to the bootleggers that they
had no standing in court. Most of
them they went on laboring home with
the Scotch; The police got there in
time to pinch the chauffeurs One
of them was crying.
Which recalls another coast story
strive to be fair and it seems to me
that justice is not being done the
bootleggers along Long Islands
sands. a resident of a small town
saw a motorboat in trouble and went
to its aid.
Never mind who l am" he replied
to inquiries. I'm a good feller, amt
it. who likes to help folks what is in
trouble"
So he towed the boat in. Then he
produced revolver and made an ex-
whisky.
I'VE split it three ways" he said.
Me and the cop and the bootleggers."
Unfair enough.
The joke seems to be on Trinity
You know Trinity, of course-the
church that stands at the head of
Wall street-and is as rich as that
century ago rich man bequeathed
the Leake dole to Trinity. Under its
terms on a certain day loaves of rye
bread must be passed out of the
back gate to the poor Of the parish.
It's all right, of course, only now
adayS the poor make snoots at rye
bread. except when suborned by the
promise of other things. Yet Trinity
Is stuck, forever and ever amen. with
the fulfilment Of the late MI
Leaae's AK. & .essamentary philanthrophy
died. and proposed to get a hearty
laugh out Of that lamentable event
by leaving Trinity another dole on
the same terms. But Trinity had had
enough. The bequeSt was refused.
Which recalls that Pine street
| heads up from the river and ends at
Broadway, just opposite the Trinity
cemetery. On the lamppost the ar
row pointing toward the graveyard
is this legend:
One way street"
Since one is more or less in touch
with history at the moment. II is
worth recalling that New York 5
builders have finally completed or al
most completed. the new courthouse
which is one OF the moSt dignified
and worthy structures OF the city.

scanned him apprehensively when he
came out He had neither whip nor
1ured hand behind his back hiding
something. He sat down as before,
in the same spot. several feet away.
He held out small piece Of meat.
White Fang pricked his ears and in
vestigated 1t suspiciously, managing
to look at the same time both at the
meat and the god, alert for any overt
act. his body tense and ready to
spring away at the first sign of hos
tility.
Still the punishment delayed. The
god merely held near to his nose q
piece Of meat And about the meat
there seemed nothing wrong. Still
White Fang suspected, and though
the meat was proffered to him with
short, inviting thrusts of the hand,
he refused to touch 1t. The gods
were all-wise, and there was no tell
ing what masterful treachery lurked
behind that apparently harmless
piece OF meat. In past experience,
especially in dealing with squaws,
meat and punishments had often been
disastrously related
In the end the god tossed the meat
on the snow at White Fang's feet
He smelled the meat carefully. but
he did not look at it. While he
smelled it he kept his eyes on the
god. Nothing happened. He took the
meat into his mouth and swallowed
it. Still nothing happened. The god

Matt had dashed into the cabin and
come out with a rifle.

calmness that was assumed: "only

said I'd do"

steadfastly proffered It
Tho meat was good meat. and
White Fang was hungry. Bit by bit,
infinitely cautious, he approached the
hand. At last tho time came that he
decided to eat the meat from the
hand. He never took his eyes from
the god, thrusting his head forward
with ears fattened back and hair
involuntarily rising and cresting on
his neck. Also a low growl rumbled
in his throat n warning that he was
not to be trifed with. He ate the
meat and nothing happened. Piece
by piece he ate all tho meat, and
nothing happened. Still the punish
ment delayed.
He licked his 'chops and waited.
The god went on talking. In his
voice was kindness-something of
which White Fang had no expert
ence whatever. And within him 1t
aroused feelings which he had like
wise never experienced before. He
was aware of a certain strange salts
faction, as though some need were
being gratihed, as though some void
in his being were being filled. Then
again came the prod Of his instinct
and the warning of past experience.
The gods were ever crafty. and they
had unguessed ways of attaining

CHAPTER VI.
The Love.Mastef.

As White Fang watched Weldon
Scott approach he bristled and
snarled to advertise that he would
not submit to punishment. Twenty
four hours had passed since he had
slashed open the hand that was now
bandaged and held up by q sling to
keep the blood out of 1t. In the past
White Fang had experienced delayed
punishments, and he apprehended
that such a one was about to befall
him. How could 1t be otherwise? He
had committed what was to him
sacrilege. sunk his fangs into the
holy flesh Of q god. and Of white
skinned superior god at that. In
the nature of things and of intercourse
with gods. something terrible await
cd him.
The god sat down several feet
away White Fang could see nothing
dangerous in that, When the gods
administered punishment they stood
on their legs. Besides, this god had
no club, no whip. no firearm. And.
furthermore, he himself was free.
No chain nor stick bound him. He
could escape into safety while the
god was scrambling to his feet. In
the meantime he would wait and see.
The god remained quiet, made no
movement, and White Fang's snarl
slowly dwindled to a growl that ebb-
ed down in his throat and ceased.
| Then the god spoke, and at the first
sound Of his voice the hair rose on
White Fang's neck and the growl
rushed up in his throat. But the god
| made no hostile movement and went
on calmly talking. For a time White
Fang growled in unison with him, q
correspondence Of rhythm being es-
tablished between growl and voice.

He talked to White Fang as White
