bitches ran rail fences, moss and
Ilchen covered, a haven for birds,
snakes, rabbits, and all wild
things.
when they take down these
fences, I'll be ruined" said the
Bird Woman. Halt the bird
nests I've photographed were in
the corners of them; rabbits and
ouails nest on the ground under
the tall grass; vines and wild
roses make beautiful backgrounds
as well as furnishing grand hid
ing for the nests of smaller birds;
butterflies and bees hover over
the flowers oh, nothing Is so
picturesque as a tumbledown old
rail fence.
The Angel glanced in the dirac-
ton the Bird Woman indicated
The old fence was a picture. The
pink of wild roses mingled with
the creamy white OF alder bushes;
a variety of ferns grew among
variously colored wild flowers: in
the y, ater of the ditch was re.
flected the blue OF the wild iris and
the pink of the mallows. Back in
the Swamp. the bird calls were in
cessant; and a mass of red bud and
dogwood in full bloom made
charming background for 1t all.
The Angels eyes grew dreamy.
The old Swamp was never love
lier than it is this year; / wish
Freckles could see 1t now. There
Is talk of draining it, and then it
will be ruined"
When is Freckles coming?"
II don't low. His letters are
peculiar; they don't sound like him.
His people are not like US; they
may have changed him. You know
he was a poor boy. Wealth, and
all that goes with it may not have
been good for him: he was given
that money from his grandfather
and his father when he was 81,
aside from a fat allowance from
his Uncle Maxwell gives him every
month. It's very different life
from ours"
The Bird Woman stopped the car
in the shade of a huge sycamore
tree, and faced the Angel. Now,

now that he is not the kind to
change fundamentally. He might
lose his perspective for a t. te,
but it won't last; underneath he is

fields and woods for many years,
and they get a hold on you that
never is broken. Aside from that
Freckles has ou. and you can hold

''Well, / write to Freckles just as

"That is the natural pride Of
youth. wonderful youth! There
is nothing like its high confidence,
it's boundless spontaneity, its in
dependence, pride and ambition"
The Angel slipped an arm around
the Bird Woman, "You have made

He lighted cigar, and looked
at the Angel auizzically.
What is the last news from
Freckles?"
''I had a letter this week. but
there was no news in it. l think
those people have had an awful
effect on him. There Is no SPAR

''Is he doing anything yet?"
"Gracious. no. His uncle thinks

have to write him to come back
here, so we can pep him upg

You're right. A man never

and the cure was worse than the
disease. What are you doing this
afternoon?'
I'm going to the Limberlost
with the Bird Woman. Want
me to plead your case?"
"Oh, few words delivered in
your usual diplomatic manner
wouldn't do a bit of harm. II
she can resist you, she can do
more than I ever could do"
AS they came out of the cafe,
they saw the Bird Woman seated
in her car, waiting for them in
front of the Bank. She would
not have chauffeur; she said
he would scare the birds, and she
could not be bothered; so the
faithful little horse and buggy In
which she used to Jog around
over the country. had been re-
placed by a shining roadster.
The Angel waved and her Dad
lifted his hat as they walked
over to the car. the rumble seat
of which was filled with boxes
and shovels and Photographic par
aphernalia.
Again the Limberlost surren-
ders to the invasion Of modern
modes and methods. :"
"Well. ii ought to be accus-
toned to it by this time" said
the Bird Woman, as she opened
the car door for the Angel. She
climbed into the car, and blew
kiss to her Dad.
"Good-by, good luck, and take
care Of my child" he called after
them.
'FYour orders shall be obeyed, "
answered the Bird Woman, as she
stepped on the gas.
''Does your Dad ever think
about anyone but you?" she asked
the Angel.
"oh yes. indeed, and the other
subject for his thoughts isn't
more than a million miles away,
either"
Just what is the meaning of
that cryptic remark?"
well, he thinks about you a
lot"
How do you know"
Maybe he thinks out loud"
The Angel laughed, as the Bird
woman blushed.

Not yetr'
Night came down. He called on
Mary, pale, frightened, with her
eyes looking larger than ever in
her worn face. She did not talk
of her visit to the prison that day.
Dick could not bring himself to
ask her. Tommy had taken that
night mail out, a flier still, still
dedicated to seeing that the mail
went through. What thoughts
circled in his brain. far up there
speeding under the stars?
And in the morning Mary called
again: "Any news?"
And Dick answered through his
anguish: mot yet.
Not yet. and Old Man Ranad was
to die before midnight.
That the State considered its
case was over and done with, now
that the governor had refused
clemency, was evident. An order
delivered by Postal Inspector Kiely
himself, released the burnt wreck
age of Lawson's plane.
II had been locked UP all these
months, an inarticulate and un-
necessary witness, in one OF the
unused hangers. Now the pad
locks were opened, and the doors
swung wide,
Moodily, half out OF his mind
even, Dick had wandered across
the field to watch the workmen
drag out the forlorn mute specta-
tor Of Jack Lawson's death.
The men were called to another
part of the field. The hangar was
empty and it's doors were wide.
Dick stepped inside and stared
at the ruin. Here was the twisted
longerons, bent cross-frames, tan
gled control wires, and an inde.
scribable mass of charred and
blackened metal
He stopped half idly and picked
up without knowing why, the bat
tered gas. gauge. Glass and dial
were gone. Only the stub that
supported the hand and it's link
remained. Then all at once Dicks
senses jumped. That link had
been bent! Not by fire or acci'
dent!
Even beneath its coating OF
SCOT, he made out the teeth marks
of pliers. Who had bent it and,
more important still, why?

In the morning she would call
up, and If he were at the field,
he would answer and say:
"No. Nothing new, Mary"
And she would talk about hap.
pier things, and not mention
again the tragedy that stalked
between their lives.
What strange confidence she
had in him! What an abiding
faith! Almost she seemed to be-
lieve that Dick could do what no
one else had been able to do.
He longed to justify that con-
fidence. 1t appealed to every
imaginative thing in himI But
beyond and above that desire was
the knowledge that he had
pledged his word to do what she
wished.
A mad promise certainly.
Though now his mind moved
through hundred convincing ex-
plantations. a hundred expedients.
These ranged from a general at

Day followed day. Dick flew
the mail and flew the return
course. Nearer, slowly and hid
eously nearer, came the day when
Old Man Rand must pay the last
penalty for a crime he had not
committed. Dick gnawed his fin
gers in anguish, and thought. and
tossed in his bed at night. and
groaned, and arrived nowhere.
Then came the day when he
read in his newspaper that Rand
was to die the, following day.

They were there at the prison

Some Expert Testimony

The extent to which prohibition has increased
crime and Iavlessness has been the subject Of much
argument between vets and drys.
It is interesting and important therefore, to get
the frank opinion Of men like Prohibition Commits
sioner James NJ. Doran and Customs Commissioner
Z. W. Camp, who should know if anybody does.
Publication by the state department of the results
Of negotiations with Canada seeking to persuade the
Dominion to forbid the expectation Of liquor to the
United states makes this possible.
Camp said at a conference in Ottawa that under
cover men reported the condition along the border
vas bad beyond expression" and that there is "a
gathering Of all the elements that are undesirable" at
The Detroit frontier.
Not only is smuggling and hjacking taking place,
but racketeerng and barditry" said the departments
account Of Camps remarks "As this banditry be-
comes more confident it endeavors to place toll not
only on iegtmate industry, but more or less on le-
climate industry
Camp also told Of corruption in the border patrol,
since it had been necessary TO bring new people into
a place where the temptation was unusually strong
and of the many dismissals, but added that the
temptation was so great that the problem always
would be difficult one.
Doran pointed out that the criminal element whose
operations in Chicago Heights have resulted in thirty
murders in the last eighteen months has direct con-
tact with the border cities.
The criminal has secured revenues from these
operations which have enabled him to extend his
scope of criminal activity until We reached point,
nine months ago. where conditions were almost in
tolerable" Doran said Operations" referred to the
production of illicit liquor
Americans at the conference confessed further that
they could not stop the flow OF liquor from Canada
under existing conditions, and that despite all their
efforts the volume coming in had been increasing
steadily.
Thus We have frank admission that the connection
between the liquor traffic and other criminal actvi
ties is immediate and direct and that prohibition has
been in fact responsible for the growth of other law
lessness besides boOtlegging.
