WickerSham S letter, as read
by Roosevelt, follows;
"Of course, one Of the most
serious subjects we must deal
with is enforcement of the
eighteenth amendment. The
amendment confers on the
states concurrent jurisdiction
with the national government
for enforcement of this meas

"Thus far the federal government
alone has borne the brunt of this
enforcement.

Every state Governor has sworn
to support the Constitution OF the
United States. The eighteenth
amendment is part of this Con-
stitution, Just as any other part.
Surely 1t is pertinent to the gov

consider how best to carry out this

CHAPTER XXXVIII

MILDRED was still without a
IVA position. She was free to seek
Huck Conner at any time, but
Household duties kept her at home
throughout the morning.
And by afternoon, when she went
10 the Judson and asked for him.
It was too late. He was out Of town
she was told No. he had not said
when he would return.
Huck had gone 10 a town a few
miles up the Hudson river where a
retired gangster kept a convenient
hideaway caraoufaged as a chicken
farm. He had business with the
proprietor, one Ras Poberlin.
On her way from the hotel Mil
bred passed the Mettle Agency, and
though she would not allow her
steps to slow she could not keep
from glancing through the plate
glass window, hoping for a glimpse
OF Stephen.
Naturally she did not see him as
he was even then headed for J. E. s
place under Lefty FLnts malign
direction.
Mildred told herself il was better
not TO see him, but as she hurried
on she was conscious Of a keen dis
appointment Her heart aChed for
sight of Stephen and even her
pride, great as it was, could not
moderate the desire.
There were other things besides
thoughts of Stephen to occupy her
mind, however, and Mildred was too
conscientious to neglect them. She
must make a few calls where it was
possible she might obtain a position.
The outlook at home was becom-
ing gloomy. The small income de-
rived from a cautious investment
of the insurance money her father
had left was insufficient to meet the
bills.
I must have a job" Mildred told
herself worriedly. If we fall be-
hind with the rent and get into
debt there won't be even so much as
a trip to Coney Island on Sundays
for our vacation this summer"

CHE could not help feeling bitter
~ toward Pamela at that moment.
Once on a hot, humid day, she had
been sent TO the Judson boat where
1t was anchored in the breeze swept
sound to Go some work for the
owner. 1t had been Paradise to her
luxury starved senses.
The unexpected warmth of the
present day brought it back to her
mind. Well, Stephen had tasted of
that luxury She didn't blame him
so much but. of course. he was
in love with Pamela. in spite of her
brutal selfShness.
Mildred could picture her crrled
up on her lacy pillows. commanding
that even her slightest whim be
satisfied

Chance was such a large element
in this matter in New York. People

when they were not wanted.
Mildred was genuinely worried.
Her mother noted her downcast
expression when she returned home
and made her lie down few min
utes before dinner.
Mildred had had TO tell her moth
er that shed lost her position at
the Judson hotel but she did not
reveal her concern for the imme-
date future.
It was not just him alone that
troubled her, her mother knew, for
Connie had told her of Stephens
engagement to Pamela.
Mildred came out to the kitchen
in time to broil the hamburger
cakes and fix the salad. Connie was
cutting up some cold boiled pota-
toes.

when she went to the cupboard for
