Ross. He scowled as he let his mind
work around to Ross. He never had
liked the chap, and he'd passed, almost
insensibly. from not liking him, which
was a negative thing, to disliking him,
which was, with Peter. always a very
positive thing, indeed. He had, he sup
posed, been jealous of Ross right along
because he was prepared to admit to
himself now that he'd been in love with
Martha for long time. But he thought
his dislike of the chap was based upon
something besides jealousy.
He closed his eyes to evoke sort
of mental portrait of Ross. A hand
some chap; tall, lean, with thin, deli
cate features and a strong, well made
body: with sullen. dark eyes and a
rather Roman nose; with bad, cruel
mouth, though, and pointed jaw OF
the sort that, in prize fighter, makes
the wise man bet on his opponent.
Cruel hands. too; hands that. in a
woman, might have been beautiful, but
didn't somehow, belong to man: hands
with greedy, graSping fingers, always a
little bent as he sat still. Yet, all in all,

ways will. He wasn't, this morning.

all his white teeth in grin when Peter
kept calling for more toast and coffee.
Deliberately, Peter glanced through
the papers: then, settling down snugly
into his chair, he started to try to think
this business out.
He was in love with Martha. That
was, it seemed to him, the chief thing.
Perhaps New York, already, had made
him as self-centered, as egocentric, as
all these people he'd been looking down
on SO condescendingly. He didn't care;
the fact that he was in love with
Martha, and wanted her, and was go
ing to get her If he could, was still his
starting point. She was married; she
was, by her own admission, in love with
another man. not her husband. AL
right! Bad dope, but it couldn't be
helped. This wasn't a question of the
DRY, OF conventions, of abstract ideas;
he was up against stark and real and
pretty bitter facts. And the chief fact,
the only one, indeed, about which, as
yet, he could be certain, was that no
matter what Martha had done, no
matter why she had done it, he loved
her. He couldn't, as he sat there, i'm
agine any conceivable thing she could
tell him when he saw her that would

from what he'd seen for himself and
from what both Tack and Martha, sep

conclusion. The things Tack had said
to him that night on the roof, the
night he'd talked about how easy 1t
would be to jump off. had, somehow,
new significance now. He didn't feel
that he was being disloyal to Tack in
loving Martha and telling her he loved
her; he wasn't sure, indeed, that he

He found one of hers in box and
gave it to her; then, suddenly, all IN

thing in him broke.
"Martha!" he said. ooh, my dear

"Tack!" Her voice rang out almost
Historically. Tack Oh, no, no"
Peter stared at her. The anger that
had overcome him at Emma's, that had
never really quite let go its hold on
him, swept over him again.
Martha-d0n e.! ne SAID Sharply.
''You sound-it's as If what they said
about you were true-about Ross
She looked at him gently.
But, my dear-of course, it's true, "
she said
The crazy thing, the incredible thing,
as it seemed to Peter now, looking at
the family Frightening sky in the East,
was that, in effect, they had let it go
at that for the moment. But actually
they had had no more choice than the
silent, watching policeman on the roof
gave him now. Martha was utterly
worn out that night. Her exhaustion
had been evident in her voice, in her
dropping eyes, in the sagging of her
whole body And, too, somewhere
nearby there had been Tack, who
might be asleep or might not, and
might, in either case, at any moment,
come laundering out.

--not-not-now"
She spread her hands wide in an APP
pealing, almost childlike gesture that
made Peter catch his breath. He
wanted to take her in his arms and
comfort her.\ Passion of every sort, the
passion of love and the passion of
anger alike, were gone clean out of him
for the moment. All he felt was ten
to help her.

She was standing up by that time
and he went to her and took her hand
and kissed it. She snatched 1t away.
"Ohl" she cried, and her voice broke
in sob. "Oh, Peter-don't!"
He turned away from her then and
went without looking back once. In the
street, for moment, any one seeing
him might have thought of him as they
would have thought of Tack. He didn't,
in that first block. walk very steadily.
But then he pulled himself together
and he did very well until finally, over
on Third avenue, he found taxi. In
the cab he leaned back YEARLY. He
wasn't thinking at all really. And
when he got home he let his clothes
drop anywhere and got into bed and
fell asleep at once, as If he had been
drugged.
Something happened to his brain,
though, in the night. He woke up early,
considering the time he'd gone to bed
and the state he'd been in, and he woke
up, moreover, with his mind clear, and
active, and coldly, resolutely angry and
determined. He wasn't shocked, oddly
enough, and he wasn't at all minded to
attach finality of any sort to what
Martha had told him.
He shouted to Manuel, busy some
where about the fiat, and said he
wanted breakfast at once, and the water
in his shower was running icy cold be-
fore he stepped out of it, so that as
he slapped himself dry he was in fine
warm glow. He breakfasted in a heavy
dressing gown, with the windows wide
open and the cool, crisp Winter air fill

on him, shivered, although he showed

that meant nothing; Kodi knew

turned and walked, still unsteadily,
from the room. Martha sat down: she
still stared straight ahead, as If she
weren't seeing anything.
"Give me cigarette, will you please,

Nonstop Russian Spelling.
(New York Times.)


 One indication of the worlds largest familiarity with things Russian is the good showing made by the newspapers in spelling the names of places along Post and Gattys route across Siberia. We should scarcely blame the proofreader of very early afternoon edition if he stumbled over Kha- barovsk. And it is unquestionably a feat for any edition to make 100 per cent. so formidable test as Blagovyestchensk Yet this is virtually the record for everybody concerned-map-m p-makers tee- graph editors copyreaders, proofreaders
 To be sure, there about our former difficulty with Russian good deal of pretense, or sheer unwilngness to take trouble. It always seem ed odd to find strong turn pale and quit before names like Omsk Tobosk who would take in their stride Winnepesaukee and Popocatepetl, or quail before Kev who would not turn hair over Cohoes. The Russian dictionary and atlas certainly containers posers. Yet Americans no longer fear them because with the rest of the world they have been of late years intensively trained in Russian names, natural manufactured.
 The Bolshevist revolution has added its own elaborate system of code words compounded of initial letters of sevra words teecoped together the Ogpus, the Dnieprstroys the Vziks and the Osiavakhims Where ten years ago an American proofreader would have had trouble bringing an aviator safe from Tashkent to Irkutsk, he now transports the fler from Verkhoyansk to Blag- ovyestchensk without turning hair-either his own or the flier's.

THAT PULP AND PAPER MATTER.

The protest in a letter to President Hoover of the American Pulp and Paper Association against the proposed sale of National Forest timber ln Alaska for conversion into newsprint, and the urge that pending negotiations for the purchase of timber entaing pulp mill construction be dropped until tbe need arises which does not exist constitute probably the most brazen exhibition Of monumental gall ever displayed by special privilege seeking manu lecturers. Too often have manufacturers demanded outrageous tariff duties for protection against 1or eign producers, but never before far as we know have they asked for the actual prohibition of American production in order to protect foreign producers.
 American manufacturers cannot produce enough newsprint to supply local demand. Nearly two thirds of the newsprint used in the United States is foreign made The need for more American maoe newsprint does exist-or the whole theory oi pro- lection falls to the ground.
 The question as to the non-exstence of need for Alaska pulp and paper is not one for the Govern ment to determine It is matter for the men who put their dollars at work manufacturing pulp and paper to decide The fact is that those who con- template manufacturing pulp and paper at Juneau have their own market. They are consumers or newsprint and desire to manufacture it for their own use The question to whether they will make it for themselves or buy foreign paper is their business.
 It would be just as reasonable to ask the Gov ernment to prohibit more Alaska copper mines, be- cause the mines of South America and Africa can supply the demand for copper, as to make the re- quest that was made by the pulp and paper people Why not forbid the planting of wheat in the United States for the protection of Canadian and Argentina farmers?
 Of course President Hoover will pay no atten- ton to the foolish request
