CHAPTER XVIII.


~ N Friday, they buried poor Pell,
and attended the funeral. A
number of journalists were
~ there, and Prof. Laxton and
some villagers. But besides
myself only Mr.. Fotherbury was present
of all the people who had seen Pell die.
After dinner that evening went up
to have talk with Cousin John. had
never mentioned the tragedy Of Pell to
him. I got little shock this evening
when he mentioned 1t to me. He had
seen in the newspapers that Pell was
to be buried that day. ....
You went to the funeral7" he asked.
Naturally"
''You were a friend of Pell?"
II rather liked Pell, but met him for
the first time not more than q month
ago"
"Ah, you liked him :"
But he did not pursue that line. He
sat silent for q moment or two; then
went of on fresh tack.
Did Laxton ever meet Pel?"
80 far as know, he didn't, until Pell
was"
KILLED" said Cousin John, looking
narrowly. at me. 'Laxton took q great
interest in these excavations. Was he
there much?"
Again, SO far as / know, he never
well. no, think not"
I was about to say that Laxton never
saw the excavations till the day OF Pell's
death, and then remembered the esca-
pade Of the Sunday night. I had . sort
Of intuition ought not to lie to Cousin
John, even about that.
And then, surprisingly, he switched
OF the subject and said:
You must be very fond Of little
Veronica"
"I-well-yes, I suppose. At least !
admire Miss Seabroke greatly"
stammered like q schoolboy.
Little Veronica Is admirable" said
Cousin John, but we don't do this sort
Of thing for people we just admire"
I began to feel huffy. did not want
Cousin John anatomizing my feeling for
Veronica.
MY mother has o liking for Mrs.
Seabroke," said ], shortly.
"Yes-your mother is far-sighted
woman But about Veronica, Mr.. Gren-
ofen. Make me promise"
Not without knowing its terms, "
said /.
OF course not I'm not Veronica" and
he smiled wanly. This is 1t. Things may
happen to me at any time. The prom

a secret in it. II anything happens to

"Oh, but you know can't make
Listen to me-" he interrupted. Don't
raise objections. What you've done for
me is done for Veronica. This Is for
Veronica, too. The bag must reach her
privately, without Seabroke's knowledge,
and with q message to me-that the
| secret Is to be shared between her and
another person of whom she knows"
Cousin John laughed q little grinly
as stared at him.
Sounds like q melodrama to you, of
course" he said. why don't tell you
all about 1t? The fact Is, Mr.. Greno-
fen, don't want you to be mixed UP In
any more trouble. II you don't know

A. Experiments have been made In

but in studying the educational effect

The programs will be made up to serve

concerts constitute one Of the most sig

naents in the history Of America. Re-
suits Of the previous concerts were mag
ni1cent. Teachers reported that with
this splendid music available boys and
girls in legion were stimulated to an

Personally, am more enthusiastic about
these Damrosch concerts than in any,
thing that has happened in radio for q
long time.
@. Is the portable transmitter now
being used?-C, L. Palmer, Richmond,

A. Yes. It was used successfully
when the Graf Zeppelin arrived at the
end Of It's world flight, and has been
used several times since. It Is still,
however, somewhat experimental.

OSLO (N.A.N.A.).-It looks as though
the sound Of the motor horn will be
heard no more in the land, for the
Royal Automobile Club of Norway main
tains that no driver need use his horn
within the boundaries of a city-thatr
the speed should always be so moderate
that collisions can be avoided.
Cars turning corners and curves dur
ing darkness can, the club contends,
give warning by means of headlights,
and 1t proposes that the use of horns
shall be made q punishable offense.
Finland has been experimenting In
this silent driving with very satisfac-
tory results, and It looks as though the

Of quietude from Scandinavia.

CRIPPLED CHILDREN
SURVEY OF COUNTY
IS BEFORE KIWAN|S
Miss Mary CasheI Tells What
Red Cross Has Discovered;
26 Cases Under Care
The crippled children of gurleigh

The crippled children of gurleigh
county, and what is being done for
them. was the subject of talk before
the KiwaniS club luncheon today by
Miss Mary Cashel. She reported the
results of a Red Cross survey. which
revealed Is individuals under the age
of 81 SO afflicted.
The luncheon had as guests Merton
j. Orr. now with Gamble g. Robin
son; Z. n. SWiggum. dean of the
Walsh county bar of Grafton; j. G.
Taylor, president Of the Rotary club;
and DR.. F. 3. Strauss. president of the
Lions club. The presence of two guest
presidents was made the basis of two
witty introductions. r. B. Murphy
presenting Mr.. Taylor as the city's
best bridge player. while Governor
George Shafer enumerated the fame
Of DR.. Strauss as the perpetual
president Of the Lions.
Harry p. Goddard was chairman of
the clay, and presented Miss Cashel as
the days speaker
Teachers Report Afflicted
Miss Cashel said the Red Cross had
just finished a survey of the young
cripples Of the county, getting the
facts through the teachers of the va
rious communities. The survey aims
to apply the law of April, 1928. under
which the state endeav0rs to see that
these afflicted are taken care Of in a
way to make them self-supporting, by
rehabilitation. The Elks, Shrine and
KiWanis organizations are lending
their support to the crippled children
movement in general, she said, and
she called attention to hospitals pro-
vided through the generosity of the
organizations.
Burleign county's rate is slightly
less than half Of the average ratio per
thousand Of cripples. This rate is
three. Under that the county could
have Sd cases and still be average.
Under the age Of Z there arc nine
cases; between the ages Of Z and IA,
nine; from to 81, eight.
Due TO infantile paralysis are II
cases; congenital deformity, 10: tu-
terculosis and accident, one each;
other afflictionS three.
Taking Care of Cases
The Red Cross has in the last two
years financed three cases, Miss
Cashel said. The railroads have as
sisted with free transportation where
the treatment had to be free, with
travel to hospital. Gases have been
sent to Rochester,, Minneapolis and
Kansas City.
The Burleigh county cases arc not
SO bad that they are unable to attend
school, said Miss Cashel. So they are
able to acquire an education. After 81
the state takes them up and provides
rehabilitation instruction and train
ing. One such case has been trained In
stenography and is now in the employ
Of the 500 Line.
Miss Cashel said the deaf mute,
blind, feeble minded and epileptic
have not been included in the sur
.vey. However, the Red Cross has four
deaf cases In the Devils Lake school.
Meanwhile, by the extension Of the
public nurse service to the county
schools. she said. the Red Gross is
enabled to keep watch for other cases
needing aid.

Farmers could not control their

even If it were possible for all the
farmers of the United States to get
together under one roof and each one
accept checrfully the ALLEGATION for
his next years production" With a
known acreage. he said the yield may
vary as much rs 40 per cent from tho
average OF a previous term OF 10
years.
Agriculture must borrow money on
the amount Of capital invested. hc
said, while industry borrows on the
profits it is able 70 earn
Credit Cycle too Long
The agricultural cycle. he added. is
too long for the credit that Is avail

Holding that this nation is pri-
marily agricultural" he predicted that
unless agriculture is made to feel
that it is getting its share of the ma
tons prosperity. then the middle
west will try following another polit-
ical bandwagon."
Especially will this be true" he
said, If the new wagon is a water
wagon too. It may be drawn by a

No halfway mcasurcs-"No subsidy
or other palliative" will suffice. he
declared, insisting that the agricul-
