"I'm just little tired, l guess"
Mem again was coughing vio-
lently and the rest of the way home
Doctor Steddon was not a preacher
anxious about his daughters soul,
but father afraid of her life. The
cough to her parents was an
ominous problem. To her it might
promise a solution.
Next morning at her fathers
command Mem went to see Doctor
Bretherick. She told him that her
parents were afraid her cold was
more than cold, apd she coughed
for him. He asked her many ques-
tions, and she grew so confused and
apt in bushes that he asked her
more. Suddenly he flung her a
startled look, gasped. and stared
into her eyes as If he would ran
sack her mind. In the mere shift
ing of his eyelid muscles she could
read amazement, incredulity, con-
viction, anger, and finally pity.
All he said was, "My childw
There could be no solemner con-
ference than theirs. Doctor Breth-
erick had attended Mems mother
when the girl was born. He thought
of her still as a child, and now she
dazed him and frightened him by
her mystic knowledges and her
fierce demands that he should help
her out of her plight or help her
out of the world.
He refused to do either and de-
manded that she meet her fate with
heroism.
In the talk that followed, DR..
Bretherick drew out the fact FL

He set down the telephone as if
it were a drained cup of hemlock.
"It wasn't E1wood?" Mem said.

It was DR.. Bretherick who after
ward found solution.
"Your cough will take long time
to cure or KILL" he said. But it
may come in very handy. I've got
it all thought out. You can't stay
in this town now, suppose. Most
of the animals crawl away and hide
at such a time; so suppose you just
vanish. Let your cough carry you
off to-say, Arizona or California"
She was startled at this un-
dreamed-of escape. He went on:
"I'n tell the necessary lies.
That's large part of my practice.
And practice makes perfect. You
will go to some strange town-and
pose as widow.
"You will marry an imaginary
man out there and let him die
quietly. Then, if you ever want to
come home here, you can come
back as Mrs. Somebody-or-other."
He chose Woodvil1e as the name.

in his own bitter brooding and did
not observe the deathly white that
blanched her pallor.
Yet he had noted that she was
paler of late and had added that

kept putting her hand to her chest

She saw her poor old father set
out to preach the funeral sermon
He had that valor of the priests
which leads them to risk death in
order to defeat death; to endure all
hardship lest the poorest soul go
out of the world without formal
congo. Doctor Steddon clutched
his old overcoat about him and
plunged into rain that hatched the
air in long, slanting lines.
Again and again Mem revolted at
the outrage of robbing her own par
ents of their savings-their one
shield against old age. She went
again and again to Doctor Breth-
erick and demanded that he release
her from her promises not to tell
the truth and not to kill herself.
But he compelled her to his will,

Who knew?
He spoke of many women who
had begun poor and finished rich.
"You might go into the movies,
for instance, and make more money
than Coal Oil Johnny" he said.
Mem imbibed mysterious tonics at
the doctors Office, and always came
away buoyed up with the feeling
that her tragedy was unimportant,
commonplace, and sure to have a
happy finish.
But the moment she reached
home she entered a demesne where
everything was solemn, where jokes
were never heard, except pathetic
old witticiems more important in
intention than in amusement.
And at last, one day, quite unex-
pectedly, when she was under no
apparent tension at all, the girl
went into Mrs. Steddon's room and
said, in quiet tone:
Mamma, want to tell you some
thing. I'd rather break your heart
than deceive you any longer"
"Why, honey! Why, Mem dear,
what on earth is it? You can't
break this tough old heart of mine.
What is it?"
She whispered it so softly that
her breath was hardly syllabled.
Mamma, I-I'm going to have
to have a baby"
The shock of tho news was its
own ether. Mrs. Steddon whispered
back, covering:
"You? You'll My babyl You1

Mem nodded and nodded till her
knees were on the floor and her
brow in her mothers lap. Old
hands came gropingly about her
cheeks. She felt the drip, drip of
tears falling into her hair, each tear
la separate pearl from crown of
pride.
Then her mother fumbled at the
dreadful question:
"But who-who-"
"Elwood!"
Mrs. Steddon's decision was easy,
and she made no difficulty of the
gross deceits involved Her hus-
band must be protected in his illu-
sions and protected from the neces-
sity of wreaking his high moral
principles on his own child. His
child must be protected from the
merciless world and the immediate
wrath of the village.

PASSENGER LINERS
ESCAPING NOTICE
War Time Commerce Raiders
Figuring Little in Present
Naval Debate.
BY the Associated Press.

Os VIC HSoOtAaiNh EiCSs'
One Of the underlying causes Of the
disruption of the tri-partite naval linn
itation conference at Geneva in 1927
has received comparatively little con-
sideration in the public discussions Of
the present Anglo-American negotia-
tions.
This Is the question of naval auxil-
iaries-swift peace-time passenger liners
capable of immediate conversion into
6-inch gun cruisers and commerce
raiders in time of war. Great Britain
has a preponderance Of this type of
craft, totaling in excess of 1,000,0 900
tons, with a ratio of some four or five
to one as compared to the United
States.
1t Is we'll established that this po-
tential cruiser strength for Britain was
the motivating influence on the mind

Basis Of Contention.
While consideration Of these auxil-
iarieS never reached the point Of open
discussion at Geneva, the American
delegates always had this in mind and

was the same consideration which
moved the British in their inSistance
upon limiting 8-inch gun cruisers to a
very few, with the bulk of the cruiser
feet made up of 6-inch gun craft.
Since the small cruiser can carry
only limited number even OF 6-inch
guns, 1t would prove no match for a
fast merchantmen armed with half
again or twice as many guns Of the
same caliber. Consequently the Amer
lean naval opinion held to the S-inch
gun ship as the only permissible type
under the Washington arms treaty that
could cope with the large and fast
liners.
May Meet Needs.
Presumably the Navy general board
believes that the feet of twenty-one
S-inch gun cruisers for which the United
States now is contending will be ca
pable of meeting American needs not
only in the matter of rounding out
the battle fleet, but also in keeping
the seas fairly clear of the big auxil-
larry raiders. -
During the early days Of the World
war, Germany clearly demonstrated
the value Of the converted merchant
men as commerce raiders by sending
forth the PrinZ Eitel Friedrich and

SUICIDE IN HOME
Young Diagnostician, Subject
to Despondent Moods, Ends
Life With Shot.

career of particular promise by shooting
himself through the temple. Death
probably was instantaneous as he sal

but IS years old.
The body was discovered Is minutes
later, slumped forward upon the desk
with the head pillowed on the right
arm, by Terence Shone, first secretary
and Ronald Campbell, counselor of the
British embassy. The two men came
in shortly before 8 o'clock to keep an
appointment.
Coroner J. Ramsay hewitt, who issued
a certificate of suicide, was informed
that DR.. Grove was considered tenn
peramentar' by his friends and subject
to occasional fits of mental depression
Subject to Depression.
This tendency, they told Coroner
hewitt, had been particularly noticeable
since the death, about a year ago, OF
his father, Clinton Grove. Relatives
could assign no more direct motive for
his act.
Two maids were in the home at the
time the shot was fired, Addie Kinard
and Naomi Edwards. They heard the
report, muf1led by an intervening door
and thought the sound had come from
an adjoining alley.
When the diplomats came In, they
waited a few moments in the reception
hall, and then Shone opened the door
to the physicians office. They notified
the maids, who, In turn, summoned DR..

SENATE TO HASTEN
VOTE ON TARIFF BY
LONGER SESSIONS
Continued From First Page.)

NSOhIkhoCd GAOAl Eiob dkC.J
The Republican independent group,
headcl by Senators Borah Of Idaho
and Norris Of Nebraska. has been count
ed out Of the party fold for some time
so far as any votes on the tariff bill are
concerned. Now the new split involv-
ing Senators from the far Northwest
ern States is giving worry.
In order to hold a ma jority against a
combination of Democrats and the Re-
publican independents the Republican
regulars cannot afford to lose the sup
port of the Far Northwestern group,
including Senators Jones of Washing
ton. McNary and Steiwer of oregon and
johnson of California. This group is
contending for higher tariff rates on
some commodities, particularly on lum-
Der and shingles. whereas the Repub-
lican independent faction Is against any
tariff increases except on agricultural
products.
FavOrs FlexibiIity.
President Hoover is understood to be
anxious that the flexible provision of
the tariff act be retained. This allows
the President to raise or lower duties
by so per cent upon q report by the
Tariff Commission, and 1t has aroused
strong opposition on constitutional and
other grounds.
Strategy in the tariff debate also was
a subject before the Republican con-
ference today There is some difference
of opinion in the ranks over the pro-
gram to let the bill speak for itself
and leave the debating to the oppo-
Sition. Some of the majority are in
sisting that every attack be answered.
The main concern of the leaders. ap-
parently, is to get speedy action. They
want the bill out of the way before the
regular session opens in December. They
want it out Of the realm OF discussion
before the biennial primaries open next
Spring.
Meanwhile. the Senate, in its debate
over the administrative provisions Of
the bill. still had before it today the
resolution of Senator McMaster, Repub-
lican. South Dakota. calling upon the
Tariff Commission to make available
its information to the Senate whenever
requested.
Legality Questioned.
The information sought by McMaster
the scope and legality Of which was
brought into question. would supple

porations as the United States Steel
