is something left-a kind of tenderness
for humanity. 1t is to fan this spark

Brena said nothing; he had made
good his promise that he would tell
her something she had never heard OF
before.
81 do not want a wife," he said.
"That would be the title, but do not
want a wife. 1t is too late. want
mother. 1 want you to make my spirit
clean and white as it was when was
ten.
"And yet" said Brena, you do not
think Of me-"
Suddenly this unhappy man rose to
his feet trembling, intense, gesticulat-
ing.
Think of you," he said. GLOW can
you say that / have not thought of
you? Is this thing I propose SO I'M
natural as the foolish world has said
of it? Is it base of me to want to
take diamond from the mud where
no one else has seen it? Is it an ugly
thought that I feel repulsion when
see you, who are made of the rarest
materials, wasted upon cheap labors
and cheap, garish surroundings and be-
ing worn down like a fine, wonderful
machine, abused by coarse use? Am
I a fool to believe that with the only
contacts available to you, you will
only meet the vulgar men you can
never marry? Did I not see that you
had vision as from Olympic heights
which was being blinded in this roll
tine of middle-class horrors?"
Brena's face, upon which the last
light fell, was white and frightened as
if she had seen a ghost. 1t was enough
to tell him that she knew that he
spoke truly.
II do not ask you to give anything
to me except your help to make me
new again. he said. Il do not ask
young love. have none to give.
cannot take you away or keep you
near me without marriage. 1t would
blast us BOTH But If you marry me
you shall be made free whenever the
day comes that you wish to go. / ask
no promises"
Brena got up and stood looking out
the window. The tall office building
overlooked not only the old center of
the city and the red angular prisms of
brick and the square roofs laid out
like fields upon level farmland, but
also the distant stretches Of rolling
prairies. There was an impulse to go
over that distant horizon: the same
strong impulse of youth, adventure,
ambition that runs like a current in
the blood of animals and men. To be
free! To grow To range! To know |
To be emancipated from the sordid

A week later he got her letter: It
was on his desk apart from the bust

Minister Chamberlain Of England
said, differed from any held between
the allies and Germany since the
signature of peace. for none of the
delegates had come to Locarno to
Impose conditions or make demands
but as representatives OF free and
equal nations, to put our minds into
common stock and seek a solution
Of the difficulties. He continued:
i am encouraged to hope, soberly
and with moderation, that We may
succeed, though 1t would be foolish
to speak with over-confldence until
results are achieved"
Referring to the fact that an
agreement had already practically
been reached on the text OF the
Rhine pact guarantees. he said tho
result of the jurists' conversations in
London encouraged hope that the
difficulties still remaining could be
solved.
"l'or my part" he went on, Il
may say we have come here anil
mated by a sincere desire to let the
dead past bury its dead past and to
avoid in the future the horrors
which afflicted the world q few
years ago. Enduring interests all
are so linked with the need for
peace that | cannot believe that
what Is past can be allowed to in
torfcre with Our efforts toward
tightening the load OF care and suf-
fcring."
Mr.. Chamberlain indicated that
Poland and Czechosovakia undoubt-
cdly would he called in as the con-
ference progressed. Asked whether
an American observer would be
present. he replied:
Il take it that there are some
American observers In this very
room"
Great Britain will not publicly
worry over Germany's relations with |
Russia, however mysterious these |
may seem, Mr.. Chamberlain en-
phasi2ed. He also asserted that |
England accepts at their face value |
Gcrmany's statements that she will |
favor neither her western |
nor eastern neighbors.
Referring TO the visit to Berlin of |
the soviet foreign minister. Mr.. |
Chamberlain said that he was salts
fled with DIR. Stresemanns assur-
anccs OF yesterday, "for Dr.. Strese-
mann made it clear that Germany's
freedom cannot be affected by the
negotiation of a commercial treaty
with Russia"
Mr.. Chamberlain added his con-
viCtion that both Foreign Minister
and Chancellor Luther |
showed the same earnest desire TO
achieve results at Locarno as did
the British.
