This often happened. She turned
the Gas low, almost trembling lest any
thing should spoil. Then she went
iuto the bedroom and ran a comb
through her hair. All this while she
kent a white, strained smile on her
face: this gave it a tremulous, pierre
ing note. She had a pale, seductive
face with deep, warm eyes and warm,
rerfect mouth. But Margaret Mea-

She was always thinking: Things
must grow better; it will be happy
soon" For three years she had chung

HE MUST LOVE CHILD
In the beginning. the memory OF
starry night and a kiss under the flow
cring buckeye strengthened her. No
one could say those tender things; no
one could stir such alteration in an
other heart unless the love were there.
Then before the child was born there
kept singing and sobbing in her
thought "Oh, now-this will make the
difference-when baby comes"
Anyone would have pitied her, read
ing her thou. hts at this time-seeinS
her brave, pathetic dreams. She chose
a name for the child; she would call
il "Nora Lee" for it would be a girl
"a dear, winsome child. The father
would look at it; his heart would

Thinking these things, Margaret oft

seeing in her mind the miracle that

Nora Lee was years old now. She
was a quaint, merry little thing with
his own black hair, his flashing blue

proudly when the baby danced for him.
But other things we're just the same.
No miracle was wrought.

DENTIST Held
IN CONSPIRACY
Detroit Family Staged
Fake Robbery for In
surance, Is Claim
(By The Associated Press.)

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Feb. 11.-Dr.
Samuel B. Molin, wealthy Detroit dent
ist and politician, and his sons Harry
and Fred, were arrested on fugitive
warrants here today charging them with
conspiracy to defraud a Michigan City
Insurance company By staging a fake
diamond burglary. They are also want
ed, detectives said, for questioning re
garding 100000 robbery at Michigan
City.
The conspiracy charge against the
Moiins IS based to a large extent on the
affidavit Of r. l.. Crinnian, alias r. L.
Fox whose sworn statement alleged Dr.
Molin coerced him into signing false
affidavit in Detroit which he falsely af-
flrmed that the fake diamond burglary
was not genuine. Not only did Dr.
Molin attempt to collect insurance on
diamonds that actually were not stolen,
but he persuaded Crinnian, the latter S
statement says, to take out life insur-
ance policies for himself and his wife
of $4,000 face value each, with view
to collecting the policies by identify
ing bodies to be obtained at an under
taking establishment here as Mr.. and
Mrs. r. L. Fox
mad employed at the Molin home,
one Mary Gilbo, also was insured for
$4,000, Crinnian told police. These
$4,000 policies were written by one OF
the young Molins, according to this
statement, while DR.. Molin arranged for
the medical examination of the appli-
cant.
Crinnian began to fear for his life
and that Of his wife, he said, when the
Molins insisted on their eating dinner
with them frequently Each dinner
party was followed by spell of suck
ness, he explained and he began to dis
trust the sincerity of Molin's offers
to let him and his wife share in the
profits of the proposed frame up"
deaths.

ROME, Feb. 11.--All attempts to ne.

KANSAN May Be
new SECRETARY
Coolidge Said to Favor
School Head for Agri-
culture Berth
(Rv The Associated Press }

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 11.-Al-
though the White House withheld COM
ment, administration officials elsewhere
indicated belief today that William
NJ. Jardne of aKnsas had virtually been
decided on by President Coolidge for
secretary of agriculture.
Mr.. Jardine, who is a member of the
presidents agricultural conference, con-
ferred with Mr.. Coolidge during the
day Officials said the visit had to do
with the agricultural question but de-
cline to go into details.
Mr.. Jardine is president of the Kans-
as state agricultural college and his
supporters say he has the endorsement
Of Secretary Hoover, to whom the presi-
dent previously had offered the agri-
culture secretaryship.
Mr. Jariine has had many kinds Of
experience that would be of value to
him as secretary of agriculture. Born
on an Idaho ranch in 1879, he was d
cattle puncher in Montana at the age of
15 and then after 4 course at the Utah
Agricultural College, became an in
structor there In 1906 he began four

ture department here, in charge of

ed with the Kansas State Agricultural
College since 1910 and its head since
1918.
ar. Jariin outlined some Of his views
on agriculture today before senate
committee to which he was explaining
recommendations of the agricultural
conference.
Agricultural in the United States, he
said, is passing through a normal post
war crisis from which its recovery is
certain.
Asserting his unalterable optimism
for the outcome, he said he did not view
the present situation as an emergency
but as an aftermath of war similar to
periods faced by farming in the past;

(By The Associated Press.l

CAVE CITY. KY, Feb. 1l.-Barring
unlocked fer developments. indications
at 1890 o'clock this afternoon were
that Floyd Collins would not be extri-
Gated before late tonight from Sand
Cave, in which he has been trapped for
twelve days.
H. I. Carmichael, in charge of sink
ing the shaft. said that a sudden strik-
ink Of the cavern in which Collins is a
prisoner would be the only unexpected
development which mil ght possibly lead
to an earlier rescue.
A small cleft in the side Of the shaft
toward the north, or Sand Cave side,
was discovered at 3s l-2 feet, indicating
the underground honey combed section
was near at hand. The sandy layer at
the bottom Of the shaft was fairly dry
compared to the muck in which the dig
gers have been working.
The daily test to determine if Collins
still lives by means of an amplifying
device across the electric light circuit
leading down to-, his prison, has
strengthened the belief of physicians
that Collins still is alive.
The faint motion Of the bulb around
his neck as it moves in its socket with
the 1ise and fall of his chest in breath
ing, is so regular that they are con-
WINGED Collins is still alive. The last
test yesterday afternoon showed a Sc.
ries Of jerky rasping noises, presumed
to indicate coughing or other movement
followed by a fall in the respiration
noises from 20 to about IL per minute.
This. the doctors believed indicated he
was falling asleep.
Barring infection or gangrene from
his IL day imprisonment, the physicians
hopes are strong that they can save
Collins If he is reached soon. Every
possible emergency need of the physi-
clans has been prepared in the red
cross tent operating room for trans
fusion, amputation or whatever else is
required.
A stretcher like appliance to raise
Collins through the shaft has been con-
structed.
