plenty of them on his way from
riotouS evenings. For Willie
was In the dough now. Not
honeStly-earned dough. That
wouldn't have come so easily.
Nor been spent so freely. 1t
was q case of easy come, easy
blow.
He was in with a mob of ex-
pert crooks. Once every month
or so they pulled a big job.
Willie didn't even take an
active part in the stickupS. He
merely sat in the car and kept
the motor running. After the
money was split. he would dis
cover that he had enough To
live on comfortably for another
month. And when he thought
of the life on the farm-what
a laugh! There was simply no
comparison
Then, upon a certain night
some two years after he had
embarked upon his career OF
crime, things didn't go so we'll.
The boys were holding up a
warehouse. and Willie was in
his customary position, slumped
behind the wheel. In the silence
he heard something that made
him jump into an upright posi-
tion. 1t was the sound Of .
shot.
The boys came running out
an instant later.

This was Willie'S first expert

of his job. He didn't like 1t
half so we'll.
'What-what's the matter?"
he gurgled.
Eddie shot the watchman!
Make it snappy! Step on it,
you sap"
During the days that fol.
lowed, Willie reasSured himself
many times that they couldn't
do q thing to him. Not a thing.
He hadn't even been on the
scene of the crime.
Gets Prison lob
Even when the gang, in
cluding Willie himself, was
rounded up, he stuck to this
comfortable thought. But it
didn't prove comforting when
he discovered that he would
have to stand trial with the
rest of them. In the eyes of
the law, he was a participant in
the murder, as guilty as the
man who had fired the shot.
They didn't give Willie the
chair-but they did provide him
with q stone seat that was go
ing to last him for from 20
years to life. A short train ride.
Big doors closing behind him.
A number instead of a name.
And there was our Willie.
He had a chance to think
now. AS matter of fact, there
wasn't much else he could do.
He thought a great deal during
his first month in prison. And
his thoughts were none too
charming.
What a fool he had been!
True, he had cordially deteSted
the farm and the milk and all
that went with it. But at least
he could have sailed through
life in simple fashion and he
could have lived on the prin-
ciple that one good churn de-
serves another.
And now what? At an age
when most youths were first
starting out in the world, Willie
was finished. His future was
nothing more than a succession
of empty days and blank walls.
And to think that he had fallen
into this because of a silly no
ton that he hated milk. What
a fool!
Doesn't seem possible that
the other prisoners would ever
envy Willie. does it? But that's
what happened. After two
months on the rock pile, our
hero was given one of the

IN THE Good Earth" Pearl s.
Il Buck told how the peasant,
Wang Lung, made himself a rich
landowner. In her new novel,
Sons" she tells of the lives of his
three sons.
Wang Lung dies in the first chap
ter of the book and the three broth
ers are followed on their separate
trails.
Wang, the eldest, becomes a fat,
slouchy glutton, a rake, living only
for his own pleasure and slowly but
steadily disSipating his share of the
paternal fortune.
The second son, Wang the mer-
chant, strictly is a business man. He
lives quietly and by dint of shrewd-
ness and constant work makes his
fortune increase vastly in size.
The third son. Wang the tiger,
becomes a soldier; and it is chiefly
with his career that the book con-

fame; and he also had a dim no.
ton of being a liberator, kind of
Robin Hood for the miserable
masses of China.
But as he goes upward and be-
comes, at last, a successful provin,
cial war lord, his ideal fades. He
is perhaps a little less bloodthirsty
and cruel than most of his kind,
but he is no liberator.

CHAPTER TWENTY TWO

DONA let the big roam take his
II own course. She suddenly was
aware that the reason she did not
want to marry Dudley Winters was
because she did not love him. The
rush OF mingled feelings that had
almost swept aside her control when
. she faced Stanley Black had been a
revelation TO her.
One thing made It easier for her
10 think of marrying Dudley. That
was the fact that Stanley obviously
did not share her feelings. He could
not possibly have acted so cool and
controlled if he cared for her
The roam, left to his own devices,
Fl took a short cut that led straight
to the camp. Dona was not aware
of this until they entered a little
clearing at the lower edge Of which
stood neat log cabin.
Trees shaded the place and made
It an inviting picture. Suddenly the
girl realized that she was hot and
thirsty She pulled the roam to a
halt at the open door of the cabin
Here was a chance to get a drink.
At the tap Of her quirt on the
door molding, a Womans voice an
sWered. A second later a dark-eyed
Spanish girl appeared at the door.
She had seen Dona approaching
and had made hasty attempt to
toss aside several articles that lay
about. Dona smiled.
Could ! beg drink Of water?"
Eyes, Miss. viii you come inside
and rest2" The little Spanish girl
was very attractive and her voice
was alluringly soft.
Dona stepped inside and sank into
the chair offered her. The cabin had
two rooms, one a kitchen and living
room, and the other a bedroom with
two cots. Everything was. clean and
neatly arranged.
A bright shawl hung from the
Image of a dancing girl occupying

could feel the romantic atmosphere
of the place and she settled back
with sigh.
You ride far2" the Spanish girl
asked. Her wide, dark eyes were
fastened on Dona's riding boots and
trousers.
Not so far, but I'm thirsty Just
the same" Dona met the dark eyes
and decided that the little senorita
was as attractive as any maid from
old Seville.
Il go for water. Excuse, pleased"
The girl bowed and vanished out of
a back door.

membered that Stanley Black had
