From time to time, Mary's eyes
strayed from the verse Of the
seventeenth century poet, and
wandered absently about the
room. Her mind was busy with
conjecture. Where was she? She
knew that this house was old,
probably large, and situated some
where in the country, but beyond
that she knew nothing.
She wondered what her friends
thought about her disappearance,
and what they were doing. Madge
Aldhouse would be deeply con-
cerned; so would Jack Enderby.
What would Luke Jefferies do?
1t was strange how often Luke

IN a Southern mining town there

banker every day for her little
pupils who bring lunch money to
school.
The small children come to
school in the. morning with a
nickel. a dime or few pennies:
then at recess they buy something
to eat, To keep them from losing
their money the teacher collects
It and keeps it for them until
lunch time.
Recently the children stood in
line to receive their money. The
teacher asked each one. "How
much did you give me?" and each
one told her. When all but one
had received his exact amount,
the visitor noticed that she had
eight cents left in the box.
Somebody made mistake, ,"
thought the visitor.
Then the teacher asked the last
little boy in line. How much did
you give me?" and the child ans
wered: Eight cents"
Each one had told the truth and
each had received without ques-
ton the amount that he claimed.
How did you manage to train
them to be so honest?" asked the
visitor.
The young teacher looked sur
prised.
ST didn't train them" she
replied. "It never occurred to me
to doubt their word"
She had trusted them and they

The Best WAY Out

For over month-since Sept. ga man convicted
Of corrupt practices has been mayor OF Indianapolis
This In face of the law which says:
"Every person who shall be guilty of any corrupt
practice shall be fined not less than $500 more
than $1,000 or be imprisoned for not more than one
year. or both, and shall be ineligible to any public
Office public employment, for the period of four
years. from and after the time of the commission
Of such Offense."
Like Louis Of old, John L. Duyall says in effect
n am the State"-and sits in his office, in defiance
of the law of Indiana
ALI efforts to remove him have failed.
The most recent attempt is that emanating from a
former controller of the Shank administration.
whether that attempt succeeds is matter of law
Any change could not be for the worse.
But in the opinion of the indianapolis Times,
change that did not involve political factonaism is to
be desired. And the move by which a former con-
troler of the Shank administration seeks to attain
the Office DOES necessarily drag factionalism into
the picture.
What is needed in this city is mayor that will
represent Indianapolis as whole-and not any GER
tain clique.
That such mayor might be selected is within the
range of possibilities And here is the way it might
come about:
Let taxpayer start an injunction proceeding
against the county treasurer who is also city treas
rer Let that injunction be laid against the payment
of further funds to the Duval regime.
The hearing of the injunction will take up the
issue of whether Duvall is legally mayor Naturally
the hearing will follow the statute above quoted, and
it will be found that Duva is not legally mayor and
was not from the date of his conviction. 1t will also
be found that his appointment of his wife was not
legal since he himself not legally mayor at the
time and that therefore, she is not controller. 1t will
be found further payment of money to controller
illegally named shall be forbidden.
And that will that the Duval machine is
without gas and can no longer run.
While it is not absolutely certain that Duvall even
then would remove himself from city hall, it Is, in
the opinion of The Times, very likely that he will
whenever he finds himself without funds. And that
when he goes Mrs. Duvall will retire simultaneously
With the mayor out and the controller out, it would
then be incumbent upon the city council to elect
mayor.
And the Times believes that the council, IN the
face of an aroused public sentiment such as now ex-
lists would not dare to any other kind OF
man than the sort who would represent the WHOLE
city of Indianapolis instead of any certain faction
political or otherwise
It is of course unfortunate that all these laws de-
lays are necessary in such clearcut case But OBJ
viously Duvall will not remove himself until court
action compels his removal. Hence, the Times sug-
gess the procedure above set forth the best method
yet SUCCEED of getting rid of the usurper and OF
providing successor of whom the city may be proud
