If, for her preservation, these dogs must die, I would be their slayer. But in no spite of ven- geance for wrongs done to me.
 And so, ere long, my role com pletely changed and I, who had come to kill, remained to save, though killing might well play a necessary part in saving.
 And these were anxious days in- deed, for there is no anxiety to equal that which a lover feels on behalf of his beloved.
 It may be imagined that I lost no time in taking all possible steps to secure Marjorie's safety. To the utter bewilderment of the scoun- drels in whose power she was, I promptly revealed the incredible fact that I knew all about the plot even to the exact figures of the sum that was to be the price and reward of their villainy.
 I made it very clear to Charters that any injury to Marjorie would precede his arrest by the briefest space, and showed him that I knew enough of his past and his accom- plices to bring his present edifice of responsibility crashing to the ground, and himself and them to the gallows.
 Naturally I was under no illu- sion that anything but my life stood between Marjorie and death, but, thank God, I had already, for my own personal ends, so arranged matters that about the most dan gerous thing for themselves that Charters and his gang could do would be to put me out of the way

Chapter fl LOVES ALCHEMY

O = eo
 Of my sojourn in that excellent and extremely well-run Nursing Hcme, The Monastery, I have not space, time nor desire to tell, for wish to write not of myself but of Marjorie-of Marjorie who now came into my life and altered it and me.
 Not Intentionally: not by any, thing she did, but by being Mar jorie.
 I saved her life, but she saved my soul my real self .. r.. Marjorie, the child whom, for 30 pieces of silver-or 10000 pieces 0. gold-this dog would have betrayed to cruel death.
 Marjorie, in complete ignorance and so without a word of remon- strance, exhortation, or admon- dticn, and merely by being Mar jorie, worked this miracle, this spiritual alchemy, slowly changed a bitter, cruel murderous and vengeful savage back into a de- cent human being.
 She changed scared and brand cd ccnvict-a man who was less a man than a vengeance incarnate- back into, at least, the semblancc cf what he once had been before the blows Of fate had bludgeoned him to his knees, and stricken him down into the mire.
 It is. I understand, a law of physical nature, that two things cannot occupy the same space at the same time.
 It was soon, slowly but surely. borne in upon my consciousness that this law applies equally to things of the spirit.
 I came to The Monastery with my soul, mean and small as it was, filled with thoughts of ven- geance and murder.
 Even in my better moments, when I remembered that Vengeance is Mine saith the Lord" I again ar gued that, for His vengeance, the Lord must need a human instru- ment, and that would be the in- strument.
 My mind was diseased, decadent, unsocial and destructive.
 And now, gradually, almost from that hour, the subtle change be- gan, and in dual way.
 Not only had Rosemary come again into my life in the form of Marjorie Lauderdell, reawakening the noblest of all human emotions, but, for the first time in many years, I was at last thinking of

From the San Antonio Evening News.
Stone cutter by trade. Andrew O'Con-
nor began his career as sculptor by
carving cherubs on tombstones in Provi-
dence (Rhode Island). Only lately he
won an honor greatly priced in his
profesSion-the Tate Gallery in Lon
don accepted his heroic bronze figure
of kneeling woman, The Mother of
Sorrows" for permanent exhibition.
O'Connor is the first American sculptor
to attain that distinction. Previously
his work had taken a medal at the
Paris Salon and gained him the title
Chevaiier of the Legion of Honor. On
Memorial day the sculptor unveiled his
Lincoln statue in Providence, his home.
It's largely luck, success like mine, y
Mr. O'Connor explains, seeing the OPP
portunities sas they fly past and grab
bling them But luck never made a
great artist There is the familiar
ancdote of Miclfelangelo, painstakingly
touching up a seemingly finished work,
remarking that "trifles make perfec-
ton 1t may have bsen luck that
OConnor had such distinguished tutors
as John Singer Sargent and Stanford
White. They could give him instruc-
ton, wise counsel and, most important
of all, inspiration. But even those mas
tiers could not have helped him much
had he lacked the making of an artist,
the seeing eye and a capacity for I'M
tagging labor.

An Air Triumph.

Through mishap after mishap which
included the entire destruction of one
wing and revclutionists confiscating its
fuel supply the DO-X has finally
emerged triumphant and is now proud
ly riding the waves near Brazil, having
negotiated the South Atlantic cross
Ing. And in completing the last lap
to the South American coast the fifty
ton flying boat showed by far its best
performance, covering more than
twelve hundred miles at an average
speed in excess of one hundred and
thirteen miles an hour. Driven by
twelve motors, aggregating seventy-two
hundred horsepower, the monster Gre
alton of DR.. Claudius Dornier needed
only thirty seconds for the take-off and
near the end of the Journey iightened by
the consumption of fuel, was pushed for
ward to speed of better than one hun
dred and twenty-five miles an hour.
Whether the DO-X will come to
North America is still problematical,
but with overhauling about to begin
on structure and motors after the
gruelling sea flight the big ship should
soon be almost as good as new and
there is no reason to believe that 1t
will be unable to carry out the ambi-
tious program originally laid down

John L. Stoddard.

It has been more than q third of q
century since the voice of John l..
Stoddard was last heard upon the lee
ture platform in this country. Many
millions now living never heard him,
but there are others of the older gen.
Grafton who recall with keen pleasure
his gracious presence, his eloquence and
wit and vivid descriptions, as he re-
lated his experiences of travel, illus
trated by lantern slides. The other day
John L. Stoddard died, at the age of
81, at his villa near Merano in the
Italian Alps, where he has been living
since his retirement from the lecture
platform.
Stoddard rendered valuable educa-
tional service In his twenty years OF
lecturing He brought to countless null
titudes of people information about not
only other lands but this country. His
lectures were informative as we'll as
entertaining. His pictures were artistic
and instructive. In his day the motion
picture was unknown. Photography
was not as highly developed as now
and the equipment of a traveller bent
upon collecting material for illustrated
lectures was cumbersome and expensive.
Travel itself, too, was more difficult.
Stoddard never few from point to
point as do some modern travel lee
turers, seeking to cover the greatest
possible space in the shortest time.
After Stoddard's retirement he pub.
lished a set of volumes comprising the
text of his lectures supplemented by
other materials which he wrote at his
Alpine home. Possession of q set OF
these books was rated as q high priv
ilege. And so the educational work In
which Mr.. Stoddard was engaged-at
considerable profit to himself-vaS ex-
tended long after his pictures ceased ia
flash upon the screen to transport his
hearers into the far reaches Of the
world.

A Shining King on Trial.

In hoary Guildhall, London, there Is
now in progress in Police Court trial
almost without parallel in the annals of
British criminal law, for there sits in
the dock a man who for years has
ranked as the uncrowned king of Brit
ish maritime commerce, Lord Kylsant.
Not only is he a peer of the realm, his
baFony having been created in recogni-
ton of his eminent services to the en-
pire during the World War, but he is
the head of the famed Royal Mail
Steam Packet Co., the White Star Line
the Union Castle Line and a host of
associated shipping companies. Kylsant
Of Carmarthen for a generation has
been one of Britannia's wave rulers.
Born the son of distinguished Eng
ish churchman, one-time member OF
Parliament. great landowner in his
own right, power in London trade and
commerce, member Of aristocratic clubs
and hunts, the long arm of the law in
Britain has seldom reached out at q
more eminent mark.
Lord Kylsant is on trial for issuing
misleading annual reports of his ship
ping mpanies-reports which con-
cealed the fact that the Royal Mail and
its subsidiaries were losing money and
conveyed the impression that they were
earning good dividends. A co-defend-
ant is the auditor of the Royal Mail,
Harold j. Morland. who is accused of
giving his official Endorsement to Lord
Kylsant's reports, knowing them to be
false. Another charge laid at the ship
ping peers feet is the allegation that
in June, 1928, he issued prospectus,
conscious of its deceptive character,
which was designed to induce investors
TO subscribe for $l0,000,0OO of Royal
Mail five per cent debentures. The
prospectus said that the company's an
nual average balance for ten years prior

ture issue more than five times. The
prosecution proposes to show that dur
ing the seven years preceding the
prospectus the company had met q
heavy trading loss every year.
The chief defendants counsel, Sir
John Simon, leader of the British bar,
declared in court that his client "chal-
lenges every allegation against him"
MIR. Morland's counsel, Sir Patrick Hast
ings, another eminent K. c., asserts that
the Royal Mail auditor will fight every
step of the way" So legal battle royal is
assured, especially as the crowns case is
in the skillful hands Of Sir William
JoWitt. Ane Macdonald government S
attorney general. Washington and other
American jurists will take special in
terest in the trial because its chief bar
rister figures, Simon and Jowitt, were
in this country last Summer at the
head of the distinguished delegation of
British judges and lawyers who were
guests of the American Bar Association.

There are 100000 people in the

Wild Men of BorneO Are Spectators.
There still are plenty of wild men
on Borneo, but those tame enough to

and there are no less than seven motion

vate one maintained at his palace by
the Rajah of Sarawak and one for its
employees operated by the Asiatic Petro-
leum Co.-tWo of the principal ruleEx
of those parts. The Rajah gets fre4h
films regularly from Singapore. An eS-
| terprising Yankee has provided himself
with a readily portable projection oat-
| fit and lot of old films and takes
/ them on exhibition jauntS into the
jungle fer the entertainment of the
wild men. He finds it profitable.
The South Sea Islands of Stevenson,
Vaughan and many another writer
of adventure tales are not without
movies. In the seas where RobinsoA
Crusoe Jared, where beachcombers aH&
cannibals once added to the color OF
existence, Western thrillers and slap

Samoans, the people of the Kingdom

only good, clean fun in their galvanized
iron odeons and the censorship frowns

The Tonga people incline strongly TO
Biblical themes. On Tahiti, where the

Party Lines Are Greatly Mixed on
Canadian Tariff Reprisal Question

to reduce the duties on cattle, milk,
cream, potatoes and other products oil
our farmers. Nevertheless, so strange
is politics that 1t is perfectly certain that
no such coalition will happen. Mr..
Brookhart's aphorisn remains unlm-
paired and controlling: The farmers
have always been given the rates they
have asked
Nor will the rates which infuriate
the Argentinians be diminished. Those
rates deal with, for instance. flaXseed
and casein. In the tariff law of 1922
the rate Of casein was 2l2 cents a
pound. In the present tariff law that
rate was raised TO Sig cents. 1t would
have been raised only TO cents had
not a most urgent plea for 5l2 been
made by Mr. Borah. The vote which
finally fixed the rate at sig showed 81
Senators voting in the affirmative.
Twenty-six Of these were Republicans
and 26 were Democrats.
Nothing is clearer than this:
That the demands now made for
somehow placating the Canadians and
the Argentinians in the matter OF the
tariff are mere thunder which will be
followed by no lightning at all.
X
AS for the Canadians, their resent
ment of certain features in our present
tariff legislation is altogether sincere,
but, again, nothing is clearer than this
That II tomorrow morning We should
offer the Canadians complete custom
union with the United States and a
complete abolition OF all economic bar
riers'' between the two countries, they
would reject it decisively.
In 1911 President Taft offered them
reciprocity with a dimlnution of
tariff duties on both sides of the line
and thereupcn Mr.. Benefits party, the
Conservatives, opposed reciprocity and
on that issue overwhelmed Mr.. Laurier S
party, the Liberals. Canada was then
nationalistic. II was then determined
to build up its own industries by tariff
duties. It is even more nationalistic
today. 1t is even mere determined today
TO make a Canada with a considerably
independent industrial life of its own.
The situation, then. is one in which
nothing can be done except to brandiSh
gestures and to emit roars. Which is
good enough, politically, in the Summer
time.
