would have a feeling that you should
come to him for advice and sugges
tions. He is very wonderful man,
Mr.. Prescott, but / don't think you
would be happy with anyone to
whom you felt under obligation.
You have much the same disposition
in that regard that nave.
you know l am under obligations
to your wife for my first job after
Sam went blind, with er:father, and
Pm ashamed to say it has always
irked me, that l have never been as
free with Leslie since. l never can

that l owe perhaps all my success in
life to her, and don't want to do so.
l want to be independent of every
body. .. .
II think one can see from what
you have read me from Mrs. Hamil-
tons letter, that the one thing which
gives him most pride in you is the
fact that you have never asked him
for help, and / think he will have
more regard and respect for you if
you even refuse this fine offer.
''Your books show at the present
moment that you're getting along
fine, and / see no reason why next
year you could not go in business for
yourself"
tell you, sgd, that girl has got a
lot of common sense. don't know
why it is, but / can take her advice
much better than ! can Leslie's, who,
by the way, has often told me about
the same thing. Isn't it strange that
man will talk over his business
problems oftener with another wom-
an than he does with his wife? And
he certainly will take her advice
quicker. Perhaps it is because he
thinks she is disinterested in him
or perhaps it is because he is flat
tered by her interest in him.
l expect after this letter from Mrs.
Hamilton I'll> have to go over and
see the Hamiltons.
Sincerely,
JACK.

LETTER FROM JOHN ALDEN PRES
COTT TO SYDNEY CARTON

Pm enclosing you letter from
my motherin-law, old chap-not for
publication, but as an earnest Of my
good faith. Besides, want you to
understand perfectly how we'll
stand with my in-laws.
1t really seems to me as though
everybody is conspiring to make lit
tie Jack rich man. With Mr.. Ham,
ilton making him legatee and Paula
Perier dividing her salary with him,
and Of course Leslie wanting to give
him everything that / will have to
leave, it looks to me as if that boy
had certainly been born with a silver
spoon in, his mouth, although his
mother nearly starved to death be-
fore his coming.
Before you make any suggestions
about my going over to take on the
Hamilton business, ! want to tell
you that / shall not do it. 1t might
be great opening for me, but l
know nothing about steel, and do
know the advertising business and
l know shall make great deal of
money in it. 1t can be did, and I'm
the guy that can do it if necessary.

ADVENTURE OF

BY way of anti-climax to this

that with fall comes the season
when he was most susceptible to
colds.
In many the susceptibility to colds
is caused by abnormalities in the

Legion Takes OUer
City Government
of WiLkesbdrre, Pa.

'WILKESBARRE, Pa. - The local
post Of the American Legion, which
broke up the Lenin Memorial meet
ing in lawless fashion, has been given
the authority by Mayor Hart to de-
eide what meetings shall and shall
not be held in future.
This decision was made at a con-
ference with the mayor when Harry
Winitsky and Herbert Benjamin,
representing the Workers Party, de-
clared that they would insist on the
right of free speech in Wilkesbarre.
Legionaires at the conference tried
to intimidate the workers represen-
tatives and seemed to be on the point
of attacking them physically.
All meetings demanding civil
liberty will be dispersed, the mayor
and legionaires declared, unless they
have the Legion's permission.
The labor men will contest this
outrageous fascist rule.
