Two days after Christmas,
Pat was driving with Guy. They
took a short cut from the fac
tory. Before Guy had throught,
they were in q narrow street
approaching q row Of dingy
cottages.
Machines were parked before
one of these. But 1t was too
late to turn.
Guy stopped his car and took
off his hat. The door of the
cottage opened. A little coffin
was borne out-the coffin Of
Tommy Burns. Three women
followed.
They didn't let him out
even for the funeral" said Guy

They sat very quiet, holding

Then she was running. The

flash against which a man
stood-a man who now turned

When he found her eyes

laugh and caught her to him.
And he held her like this, sit

He smoothed her hair. It
was music going over her

"I do-Pat, you cannot love
me more than I love you-want
me more. You CANNOT. Oh
Little Pat"
An hour later Pat was sunk
very blissfully in her little car.
The dark young man at the
wheel looked down and winked
at her.
She said pertly: "Ah, but If
you really cared, would you be

One afternoon he went into

Two or three women were

there to the northeast the plane
seemed almost on a level with
their eyes. No pilot jumped.
Then the plane shot downward,
shot from sight.
Pat turned to her mother
with a blind look Of terror.
"He's crashed"
"You don't know. It may be
much nigher-much further off.
It may not be he!"
Pat pushed off her mothers
restraining arm and went dart
ing across the patio. She was in
her car and half way down the
drive as Laura came running
across the garden.
"pat-NO! Pat, wait. Your
father'n be back any moment.
I'll go!"
The girl looked out with
white, stony face. She pleaded
hoarsely: "Mother-don't! I'm
all right. I just want to see. I
won't speed. Don't come.
Mother! I can't WATTw
She went down the hills. 1t
seemed that a wind roared; that
she drove through hurricanes.
Off there in the levels-in the
stark, desolate levels-it was
about there.
She took a cross road. Some
where down here. ALI at once,
across a wide, level field, she
noticed smoke-a little pillar Of
smoke. Her hands froze on the
steering wheel. The car shot
ahead dizzily.
"I mustn't do that" she
thought distractedly. The plane
is burning"
A little further on she came
upon some half-dozen parked
automobiles. So it was here
Just along here.
She got out Of the car and
went running across the great
field in the direction of the
smoke. She was on the fringe
of the lettering crowd.
Fifty feet distant was, the
smoking mass, the wings stick
ing out like the arms Of a cross.
Already the wreck was roped
about.
Wonder why he didn't jump

another.
WAS he killed?" asked Pat,
her heart humping up into her
throat.
WAS he! Mangled beyond
recognition. Down $50 feet be-
fore he jumped. Trying to save
the plane, I guess. I got here
just as they took him away"
Softly, forcing the awful
word: "Who?"
Someone from Mills Field,

her body went flying through

course. The East, as rule, likes as much tariff as it can get. It Is in the West where senators opposing the majority of tariff proposals are hearing and listening and trembling. A senator's main idea in Washington is not 10 uphold the party and the party managers so much as to act in such manner as to insure his re really never ends; but it gets more complicated near the end of the six year term.
 Ii is for this reason. among other reasons, that the Senate progressires are finding so much 10 cheer them up. The grand old party possessing only paper control of the Senate in the first place, it appears secondly that nothing can be done without the cooperation of the very senators who are beginning to stand up on their launches and praying at the tariff moon.
 One Of the good things about good government is that everybody cannot have his own way. This even applies to tariff experts as well as to Presi- dents.

4 BETTER DEAL FOR
 THE INDIANS

During the past year or two articles have appeared in intellectual magazines of limited circulation finding fault With the methods of safeguarding the interests of the American Indians. The government. as their wards. was pictured as a rather careless guardian.
 That there was truth in the criti cism can be gathered from the change of governmental policy to- ward the Indians announced by Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, secretary of the interior The entire system of super vision over the Indians is to be re- formed, according to these pro- nouncements, and in 26 years, when a new generation of red skins grows up, they will he nothing like the present generation, which is virtually held prisoner on the so-called h. dian reservations.
 After having purchased" their land from them by the payment of beads and less. the least we can do is to treat the Indians as human be- ings. Uncle Sam, according to Secre- tary Wilbur, intends to do even more, They will be educated in every respect like the white man and in due time there will be no difference except that of color
