an accord on methods it will be
found that good many of the
more radical ideas of the brain
trusters will have been discarded.
The best minds in industry and
finance are no longer standing back
and merely criticizing. They are
taking an active part in planning
for the future welfare of the ma
ton. Herewith are summarized
some of the important new devel-
,opments in this direction
President Henry /. Hartman Of
the United States Chamber Of Com
merce, in pursuance of resolution
adopted by the board of directors,
has appointed a committee of six
men, headed by Silas Strawn of
Chicago, to cooperate with other
business and agricultural associa-
tons in drafting plans for the re-
covery of business. The board OF
the chamber endorsed the continu-
alton of relief and housing. but sig
nified that business is still opposed
to the unbalanced budget. further
reduction Of working hours as en-
bodied in the movement for 30
hour week, new and unprecedented
outlays for public works continu-
ance of the NRA, the doctrine OF
majority rule in collective bargain
ing, and unemployment insurance.
Through the National Association
of Manufacturers, invitations were
sent to every manufactures In the
United States to attend a national
Industrial conference in New York
on December 5 to draft "construc-
tive recommendations" for pre-
sentation to President Roosevelt.
Among those signing the call for
this meeting was John j. Raskob,
former chairman of the Democratic
party. Included in the questions
the industrialists will try to an
swer are:
What in the future should be the
relation of government to business?
How is the gigantic problem to
be met to relieve distress and at
the same time not plunge the nation
into bankruptcy or threaten its
credit?
How is the new flow of private
capital into legitimate investment
to be stimulated?
What new moves to curtail un-
employment are practical and feas-
ible?
In petition addressed to the
President and congress the Ma
tional Economy league has present
ed definite program for balancing
the federal budget in the coming
fiscal year, holding that only by bal
ancing the budget can sustained ma
tional recovery be accomplished.
The petition proposes heavy reduc-
tions in government expenditures
and additional taxes totaling $3.50,
100000.
HONALD r. RICHBERG, eXecu-
II tive director of the national
emergency council and now perhaps
the Presidents chief adviser, adj
dressing the Associated Grocers of
America, at their convention In
New York, proposed the creation of
a new federal body combining func-
tons of the MIRA and the federal
trade commission, to define and reg
ulate concerted trade action in the
twilight zone" under the anti
trust laws.
Discussing the program for per-
manent MIRA legislation, he reit-
Grated his opposition to control of
prices and production. He said the
fixing of minimum wages and mini
mum hours had demonstrated its
soundness for eliminating the worst
forms of unfair competition in
treatment of employees, and that
admittedly dishonest business prac-
tees should be prescribed.

 Goodness gracious, boy. have you no sentIment3' reproved Aunt Judy. And the fact that you've been studying botany cries aloud. Cactaceous I never heard that word before."
 "Nor l." admitted Mother. "But do you mean to say, Jim, that a man who possessed the wanderlust was content to stay right where Fate landed him for the rest of his nat ural life?"
 "Indeed mo-" spoke up Aunt Louise, "and in my opinion Uncle Jed's poor wife had a lonely time of 1t. He was forever leaving her to seek gold, silver and adventure. That was, imagine, after other settlers joined them. Years later he did strike silver in Leadvllle but his wife had died of hardship before that. I believe she. never saw the mansion Cousin Colum- bine's 80 proud of. Uncle Jed was the big man of the town of Pine Ridge then, though the place can't be much more than a settlement now. Anyway, it isn't on the map"
 "And she expects us to send Nancy to a place like thatr gasped Mother. "I didn't realize it was so isolated"
 "But it's home to Cousin Colum- bine." observed Aunt Judy, "and perhaps she's lonely"
 q wonder If she'd be satisfied with mel" suggested Jack. T have a touch of this wanderlust myself.

 "Thls way" smiled Aunt Louise, reverting to the mlsslve: "'She would get away from the narrow New England viewpoint. She would learn something about the vastness of her country"
 T suppose she means those great open spaces we read about" laughed Jack, while his aunt, ignor- ing him, continued:
 ".The milder climate would im- prove her health; and she would ex- perience the satisfaction of being self-supporting. Please write at once. and believe me, dear James, your affectionate though unseen cousin, Columbine Nelson.'" Aunt Louise looked up. "Well." she decided, drawing Q deep breath, T call that the--the very limiti'
 For this meticulous teacher of English to use an expression even remotely approaching slang, was an event in itself. The family smiled; and Nancy retorted: ''It's plain, Aunt Lou, that this Is an oc- caslon when Webster's Unabridged Is totally inadequatei Dad dear. how can this venerable lady be your first cousin? And did she acquire her outlandish name because colum- pines are the state flower of Colo radof"
 Better look up your history, my dear," replied her father. Cousin Columbine must be over seventy. and Colorado didn't become a state until 1878 I'll admit that I prob. ably remember the date because it's also the year that I was born," he added honestly.
 But how" asked Jack, "did an uncle of yours land way of in the old West, Dad? Seems queer for one lone member of the family to start off for the wilderness. How'd 1t happen?"
 James Nelson glanced at his sis ter, and she said: "As I recall the story, Fathers half-brother, Jethro Nelson, who was a good bit older than the others, possessed the wan. derlust. He yearned to see some thing besides his native New Hampshire, and as his young wife was fired with the same ambition they started west in covered wagon drawn by oxen, unless my memory's at fault"
 "AloneT questioned the boy, lean ing forward eagerly.
 "Oh, no! There were three other wagons In the caravan, or whatever they called 1t. Part of those pio- neers turned back somewhere in Kansas, frightened, I believe, by the immensity of the prairie. Others pushed on to California; but 1t was rumors of gold in the Colorado mountains that lured Uncle Jed fin that direction, and an unlooked-for circumstance which made him stop where he did. Of course 1t wasn't Pine Ridge then-just unsettled wilderness. But the Journey had proved too hard on his young wife

and instead of reaching some set clement, Denver or possibly Auraria (which was hourishing because of the gold rush) for the event, her baby was born in q covered wagon at the spot which was later to be called Pine Ridge"
 "And that baby was Cousin Col umblne7" asked Nancy.
 Her aunt nodded, while Dad took up the narrative.
 Here's where her name comes in, daughter. Early next morning Uncle Jed discovered some enor- nous blue and white columbines growing nearby and carried the whole clump In to the new mother. The story goes that she uttered an exclamation of rapture at their beauty, and cried out: 'COlumbines II know now what we'll call our little daughterr"

CHAPTER II

NOW, meeting JACKS eager eyes l V as he perched on the foot of her antique four-poster, the mem ory of that family dinner all rushed back. Regardless of the cold air and a sleeveless pink crepe mighty, Nance sat up, startled, and stared at her brother in dismay.
 "Why, Jack Nelsonl You-you're not implying that I ought to go way of to Colorado just for a-a paltry twenty-five dollars . month, arc your

You know how he is-always seeing the bright side of everything; but he admitted tonight that he was down and out. That means flat broke, doesn't itf And even If I got some sort of job 1t probably wouldn't much more than pay my car fares and lunches for year or two. And there's you simply a parlor ornament and"

 T didn't intend to rub in any thing; but there's no need of side stepping the truth, either. sup. pose you could help Mother round the house some; but with Aunt Judy gone. and Lou home only Sun days, there won't be an awful lot to Go. And I've a notion she'd rather keep busy, anyway, so's not to think about things. I suppose she's just heartbroken over you"
 Nancy said nothing for a mo ment: then: "Do you think 1t will add to her happiness if I'm two thousand miles away, all alone, llv- ing with a queer old woman we've never seen, and dying of homesick- nessf"
 "No," said Jack, q think she'd worry herself sick. But if you weren't alone, Nance-if-if I went, too"
 "Youw interrupted the girl, amazed. Why, how do you know that Cousin Columbine would take you i'm"
 T don't expect her to; but she might get me job on some ranch, Sis. I've always been crazy to see the West; and with us both away earning our own living, things would be easier for Dad and Mother"
 But you said yourself, Jack, that what Cousin Columbine wanted was a slavei"
 "Oh, forget 1t. I was just talk ing. If she has . woman come in every day the work can't kill you and If were near enough so wed get together every little while, it wouldn't be so bad. And we'd be helping Dad, Nance. Honestly help. ing. He wouldn't even have to feed us!"
 The girl gave way to a reluctant smile.
 "Is my appetite as fearful q thing as thati Why you talk as if wed have to apply to the Salvation army for Christmas dinner Dad can't be 90 hard up that we'll have to worry about food. Jack"
 "But it costs less to support three than five. my dear. You cant get away from that. If you say the word I'll send an air mall letter to Cousin Columbine tomorrow. I'll ex. plain what's happening, and ask if can get job out there. We needn't say . word to Mother until we hear from her. I'll ask her to telegraph"

Ruined. financially, by the stock market crash, James Nelson, Boston merchant, breaks the news to his household. Nance, his daughter. nineteen, is on the verge of her in- troduction to society. A short time before. an elderly cousin of Nell son's, Columbine, had written sug- gesting that Nance come to her at Pine Ridge. Colo. as 8 paid com panion. The offer had been regarded e . joke.

won't consent after we've made our plans, Nance, no harm will be done"
 well" agreed Nancy with sudden resolution, ''go on and write"
 That's the stuffr'
 Jack slid his long legs off the bed and proceeded, as noiselessly as pos sible to open the windows again.
 Might, Sis. I knew you'd see sense after I showed it to you. And don't you dare let on we're up to anything. Just keep num-"
 It was not so hard to keep mum" as Nancy expected. The next few days were strenuous ones for the older members of the family, and the amusing letter from Colorado was completely forgotten. Jack, who did not return to Exeter on Monday, spent two of those days driving his mother and Aunt Judy to Edgemere in his beloved Mary Ann," so they could look into con- ditions at the old home and decide what furniture must be sent out from the city.
 The air was filled with subtle con fusion and unrest. And then one late afternoon, returning from tea to which her mother had urged the girl to go, Nancy spied a telegram on the hall table. It was addressed to Jack, but she grasped the en- velope eagerly, her heart pounding as she tore 1t open. A dim hope that Cousin Columbine would wet blanket the whole Idea, swept through her, but the message, eccen- tric and to the point, read briefly:
 Your letter shows you to be true Nelson Stop Can get job on ranch three miles from here Stop Sorry to hear of your fathers re- verses Stop If notified will send check to cover expense of trip for both of you Stop Advise come as soon as possible-Columbine Nell son."
 Nance read this twice, her hands gripping the paper tensely. She was still staring at what seemed an IT, revocable sentence at hard labor, when her father entered the room so quietly that she had no chance to conceal the tell-tale yellow message. He asked, a touch of alarm in his voice: What's happened1'
 She glanced up. forcing smile of reinsurance.
 "Nothing to worry about. It's a- telegram for Jack. No bad news, Daddy"
 Lets see, daughter"
 He stretched out a hand, but Nancy thrust the paper into her coat pocket.
 "No" she said, you'll have to wait till Jack comes home and tells you. He took Aunt Judy over to the Spears on some last errand."
 But who's 1t from, Nancy2"
 The girl laughed.
 "You're just as curious az an old woman, Dad; but I promised not to tell, and Pm not going to. You won't have long to walt. It's al- most dinner time. Here's Aunt Louise"
 She darted on before he could question any further; but as she reached her room . voice recalled her. and Jack, who had come in close on his aunt's heels, was up the stairs.
