COOLIDGE IGNORES
 POLITICS IN TALK
DevOtes Address at Brook ings, s. D., to Educa-
 tiOnal Matters

Brookings, S. D., Sept. 10 CT- Journeying toward Washington from the agricultural northwest, Presi- dent Coolidge stopped off in this city today to dedicate the Lincoln Me norial library at the South Dakota State college with an address devot- ed almost wholly to education and marked by the absence of any ref erence to the farm relief fight or any other controversial problem.
 Politicians who had confidently predicted that Mir. Coolidge In speaking at the agricultural college ceremony would take the opportuni- ty to outline the farm relief plans of the administration were diSap- pointed. for the president swung the trend of his speech around toward the spiritual value Of education and a eulogy of the part played by Abraham Lincoln in this direction.
 we have been excessively busy seeking for Information that could be turned to practical advantage in the matter of dollars and cents, rather than for that wisdom which would guide us through eternity" Mir. Coolidge said. "Our higher cd ucational institutions have turned their thoughts especially to the sciences. and our secondary schools to vocational training. xxx \ How poor and weak and generally inef- fective we should be without these advantages can be at once seen by the most casual observation of those nations among which they have been neglected.
 This is by no means all that Is to be expected from American edu- cation and American institutions. can not conceive that the object of Abraham Lincoln was merely to instruct men how to raise more corn. to feed more hogs, to get more money. to buy more land, and so on in the expanding circles, as the story men to raise more corn, but his main object must have been to raise better men, We come back to the query that is contained in the con- centrated wisdom of the ages, What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?'
 "All of our science and all of our arts will never be the means for the true advancement of our nation, will never remove us from the sphere of the superficial and the cynical. will never give us civilization and a culture of any worthy and lasting importance unless we are able to

RumOr CroundleSs

Washington, Sept. 10 (UP)-Ru.
 mors of the sighting Of the Old Glory emanattng from Canada were believ- ed here today to have arisen from the fact that the U. S. state depart ment, in asking Canadian aid in a lookout for her, mentioned that the plane had last been heard of 400 miles off Newfoundland.
 This statement (apropos of tho steamer California's message of sighting her previous to her final s o S.) was thought to have been misconstrued into statement that she had been more recently sighted. The department here asked the
 American consul at St. Johns and
 the American legation at Ottawa to
 request Canadian officials to radio Canadian ships in the north Atlantic to keep lookout. A newspaper in New York, interested in the flight, had requested that the Canadian government aid the search with cruisers.
 Government officials said they be- ! lieevd the rumor had arisen from a l confusion of the messages which had been sent out after Old Glory had sent out it's S o S. calls. including warnings to all ships at sea 10 be on the lookout for the missing plane.

had slipped behind the curtain of

below she thought 1t would have
been impossible TO detect her. OF
Anne's whispered pleadings she had

After the visit Of Rawson and
Williams she knew the danger of
detection increased with every
hour. Also the necessity for food
could not be denied much longer.
The one chance left her was TO get
away that night, make what she
felt would be a last attempt to
gain the freedom that meant life to
her. The darkness was in her ia
o and she resolved TO slip from
the house and cross the bed of the
channel below the causeway.
At the foot of the stairs she had
hesitated undecided whether TO go
by the living room or the kitchen.
Finally she chose the way she
knew best. where she was familiar
with the disposition of the furni-
ture. As the f1ashlight burst she

noise had covered her flight, but
In her eyrie on the top floor she
had cronched at the head of the

dread. The concerted shrieks of
the women had come eerily to her
cries Of her own name. She
guessed then a picture had been
taken, they had seen 1t, and she
waited, not knowing what was ON

time, listening with every sense

the house and then gone back to
her place by the window:

A NYONE watching Gull island
n from the shore would have
eel the yellow shape of one
bright window set like a small
golden square in the darkness. The
bright window was Anne's, and
over against it Anne sat on the side
of the bed looking at the floor. She
sat perfectly still, held in a star
ing concentration of thought, re-
viewing the happenings of the
night.
While Bassett had talked to her
she had accepted his theory. His
belief in it had been so absolute
and it was so plausible. OF course
a person in her state might have
imagined anything. And as she
dwelt on the sentence to persuade
herself, the vision of the dim
shadowy room rose before her with
the figure coming toward her from
the darkness of the gallery, NOV
ing spiritlike as an hallucination
might move. But as the memory
grew in vividness the shape took
form and sOlidity, the slim boys
shape. She saw again its rapid adj
vance, its sudden stoppage at her
words, its lightning-quick turn and
soundless flight. The snap of the
closing door came to her mind as
a last confirmation, and she knew
it was no delusion.
II did, she said in a whisper,
and raised her eyes as If confront

She felt the prick of tears under

with the fierce courage of despair,
and now Sybil going, breaking all

she could not speak, and the other,

~urgence!

The rim Of the u slipped above
the distant sea line and sent a ray
Of brilliant light through the win

ures and lay rosy on Anne's face
as she raised it.

seas, rapt and dauntless, following
her star.

The men closed the door softly
as upon the dead. What they had
heard and left behind them had
taken the zest from their accom-
plishment and in the glow of the
hall lights their faces looked drawn
and followed with fatigue. Raw
son drew out his watch-half past
two. The best thing they could
do was to get a little sleep, and
stepping gently, as beftted a place
where so dark q doom had fallen,
he and Williams passed into the IL
brary.
Sleep was far from Bassett. He
would like to have seen Anne, but
it would have been inhuman to
rouse her, and he went toward the
living room where he could think
in quiet. He dropped into a chair,
his breath expelled with a groan-
ing note, then heard Anne's voice
from the gallery above:
The screen still covered by the
sheet and the protector facing 1t,
were untouched and gave the place
the air of a scene set for q play.
Silence brOOded over the room, a
silence so peaceful and profound
that it seemed as if the hideous tu-
multi Of the last hour must be q
hideous illusion.

There she was. dressed, leaning
against the railing.
Come" he beckoned, his heart
expanding, his depression light
ened. and as she disappeared he
pulled up a chair for her. She came
in, soft-footed across the rugs, with
the whispering words:

Wds only to be informed that
she had gone abroad.
"Of course you still mistrust me2
Well, that's natural, of course"
The girl was not disarmed by his
frankness. She looked at him
steadily, and then replied:

Lorna's heart beat wildly. She
leaned forward and said:
by that | may suppose that you
have been telling me a lot of lies?
That Mr.. Emerson is not i'll? That
he has not been taken to a nursing
home? You wish to infer that he
has behaved like a coward, and that
he has run away so that we shall not
get in touch with him?"
You have put it exactly" said
Julian Emerson, with that curious
to assert that Emerson is in very
good health. On the contrary, he is
very far from being that, but he GER
tainly ran away from you, and even

half lightly, "can be answered right

was passed in silence.
