landing. Chummy's room was only
the pretense OF a sitting room.
because the bed vas hidden behind
a rickety screen.
There was a note of impotence
in her voice. Evidently she was
feeling the strain Of this unnatural
position. Alan Steyne sitting and
chatting to Chummy as II they had
Just met and made friends, and
Chummy smiling unaware that her
best beloved was at her side-it was
a spectacle that got on Judy's
nerves.
Its taking such a timelr she
went on. Aren't there better doc
tors than O'Shane? Can't some
thing be done to make her memory
come back and 10 make her know
you2 And she's been feeling queer
lately She's told me 80. Oh. do
something. Mr.. SteyneI II must be
dreadful for youths waiting It's
driving me silly-what must it be
doing to you?"
Alan Steyne did not answer i'm
mediately. He was looking at Judy.
AS she gazed at him in her per-
plexity on behalf OF her friend. his
eyes held hers. and she found her
self flushing holly and angrily as
she realized that at that moment
the condition OF poor Chummy was
far from his mind.
She looked away. furious and
ashamed at her own embarrass-
ment. Steyne took her hand.
Good night. little guardian" he
said. "Of course, Ill be only too
glad to get another opinion, but
Ill see this man O'Shane first"
The result was that a famous
specialist came to see Chummy, In
consultation with the Irish doctor
He did not give much hope. He
said just what Doctor O'Shane hac
said There was no treatment to bt
prescribed. 10 could only be left
TO nature. 1t was quite possible
that Miss Morley might recover
her memory. but there were nc
means known TO science which
could accelerate the process.
so you're just where you were
said Dumont. when Judy told hin
at the Cafe Turc on the same
night.
Yes. except that Of course Mr.
Steyne Will take Chummy away
now. Her colds almost well. She

The young artist said nothing.

Misplaced Confidence

Surely, no one will be so hard-hearted as to refuse
sympathy to the PENNSYLVANIA beer-truck driver
whose faith in human nature, or something, got him
arrested in Bellwood. Pa, recently.
This man parked his truck and wanted to 60 take a
nap. Spotting a casual passer-by. he hailed him and
said: I've got 20 cases of beer in that truck. You
can help yourself If you watch it while I take a nap"
The stranger agreed and the truck driver went to
sleep. When he awoke he was under arrest. his truck
and beer were confiscated. The casual stranger had
happened to be the local chief of police.

enc at least you wouldn't have TO
slave"
Judy shook her head. and her
bright hair glittered under her hat.
I've told you lots Of times, Bas-
tien that I'm never going to marry
rl-til I fall in love. Falling in love
must be jolly. and it may make
It worth while getting married.
Fem what I've seen OF marriage,
/. wants something pretty strong
to make it worth while"
A week passed, and Chummy's
cold did not get better. She de-
veloped a troublesome cough. and
her cheeks began TO look trans
parent. Judy was worried. par
ticularly as Alan Steyne did not
come again.
Max Dickbread was painting
Judy as a Spanish dancer in a SEN
sational work for the Paris salon,
and he changed her pose every day.
He was a clever artist. but his per-
sonality was devastating. Judy
could not have put 1t into words.
but he fed on other peoples vitality
and reduced her. as she said, to a
rag.
Judy went for the doctor. He
was a queer Irishman with red hair
and fiery eyes. His name was
Shane. and he ran a dispensary
for the poor.
He as not very encouraging about
Chummy. He said she wanted
warmth and coddling, and plenty
Of nourishing food.
Judy bought many littel deli
cacies out of Alan Steyne's gift.
Doctor O'Shane had attended
Chummy before. As he was leav-
ing. he said to Judy on the land
ing:
Il think her brains going. She's
more childish than she was
II was that same day that Chum-
my startled her friend by saying
suddenly:
Il feel so queer. Judyl I think
something's going to happen to me.
It's a horrible feeling, like a lot OF
brass bands playing in my headl" /
judy sought Dumont. He was
her confidant, the one person on
whom she could rely. She made
him promise to go and see the
doctor and tell him all about
Chummy.
They met again at the Cafe Turc
in the evening.
"Well?" the girl asked breath
lessly.
"O'Shane doesn't think anything
could be done" he answered. IF
she didn't know Steyne at once. he
doesn't believe she will ever know
him. He says there's no treatment
that could cure her. He was rather
decent-for him: tried to explain
the case TO me"
Judy was in despair.
Has Steyne called again?' Du-
mont asked.
No"
did he say he would?'
"Yes-I mean. Chummy invited
him. oh. Bastien. that night he
was so nice to herl I thought him

Dumont had nc answer. In his
own mind he could think Of several
reasons. He had not Judy's I'M
shakable faith in humanity-which
was indeed something to marvel at.
considering how much she had seen
Of life.
Steyne did come a couple Of we
nings later. He came laden with
fruit and flowers. and TO Judy he
like a day in spring. His alb
sence was easily accounted for. He
had TO 60 10 Maine on business con-
nected with the property his late
benefactor had left him.
He came several times that week.
Chummy was delighted with him
in her placid. "take-everything-for-
granted way. She ordered him
about just as she did Judy; but not
ever his repeated visits struck a
single chord Of her lost memory.
Judy spoke TO Steyne about the
doctor one night, as he was leav-

In the address delivered at Har-

Moody Valley people were again
impressed by e prominent outsider
WITH the fact that they have here
a very remarkable section. Mr..
Moody declared that the state Of
Texas is generally regarded as pos
sesSing the most promising in
custrial anc agricultural outlook OF
any state IN the union and he was
entirely correct in SO saying. What
5 eve more interesting to the
Valley is the fact that the southern
portion Of Texas, in which this sec
lion lies. Is in turn the most prom

GU[F-OCEAN CANAL
URGED IN FLORIDA
y. S. Survey to Determine
Practically Of Project
Favored by Ports.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, La, October a.
New Orleans port interests, in con-
ference yesterday with Jacksonville, Fla,
shipping men, indorced q resolution rec
ommending that the Federal Govern
ment conduct a survey to determine
the practicability of constructing ship
canal across Northern Florida to link
gulf ports directly with the Atlantic
Ocean.
The canal. proposed by Jacksonville
and North Florida interests, would be
approximately 1876 miles in length and
would permit passage OF ships drawing
a. much as 80 feet of water. It would
also be used as connecting link bey
tween the Gulf IntracostaI Canal and
the Atlantic intercoaStal waterway and
would afford inside passage for barges
and pleasure craft between New York
and Chicago.
The North Florida canal would cut
on 551 miles of the trip by water from
New York to New Orleans, 4SO miles
on the distance between Galveston and
New York and $50 miles of from Mo-
bile to New York.
On the basis of a cost of $125,O 900
70 build the canal the Florida interests
claim that the project would save $14,-
100000 a year to gulf shipping in re-
duced time, shortened routes, reduced
insurance and operating costs.
