The letter was sent in care of
Renfroe's circus to Montgomery,
Alabama, where, according to the
route card Donna still had in her
possession, the circus was due to
play the following week..
Not wishing to trust the letter
to the rural mail box in case bad
weather should prevent the mail
from being collected promptly
she made the excuse that she
wanted to purchase hose and
drove into Lebanon alone.
Since the day of her scene with
Mrs. Planter Donna had not seen
the former housekeeper and no
one was farther from her
thoughts as she drove into the
public square and parked the car
near the courthouse. Anxious to
complete her errand, she did not
notice anything familiar about
the gaunt back an square should
ers of the woman in front of her,
When she suddenly heard her
name spoken as she entered the
postoffice, Donna could only
stare for several seconds.

Mrs. Planter nodded. Eyes, and

the last word with an insolent in

composed history of the era 1t
describes.
Perhaps the most amusing con-
vert is the Financial News which
has seldom lost a chance to wax
satiric over Mr.. Roosevelt and his
heterodox advisers. But sthe FL
nancial News review makes
amends handsomely. Completely
carried away by the presidents
vivid picture of that first stormy
year, he concludes a column re-
viw as follows;

stronger than that which has
been mobilized against the stock
exchange control bill, so far the
most violent known in American
political history, will be raised
against him. If he is beaten. he
will be, not the most popular. but
still the greatest man in America:
eff he wins, he will be both. !"
What most impressed the Lon
don Times is the fact that the
president completely disposes"
of the cutlery that there was
nothing consistent and thought
out in his programme, that his
measures were contradictory and
merely tinkerine' on a great
Iscale.'
"But a careful reading of the
messages to congsess," remarks
the Times, land of the broadcast
addresses makes it clear that
from the beginning Mr.. Roosevelt
has nursued consistently a very
definite object, even if some of
his methods have been expert

variation" And the Journal con-
cludes: "Students of politics
everywhere will be grateful to
Mr.. Roosevelt for having snatch
ed from his crowded hours the
time to give the world an au7
thorized account of what ne IS
endeavoring to do and of what,
so far. he believes he has accom-
plished."
The ultra-conservative Morning
Post is completely captivated by
what it calls Mr.. Roosevelt's
"sportsmanship," his willingness
to admit failure and to try some
thing else. "Such candid admis-
sions of fallibility," says the
Morning Post, ARE unusual, to
say the least. in men who exer-
else authority, whether by demo-
cratic mandate or by autocratic
decree. Yet who among moderns
has disposed of so extensive an
authority as Franklin Roosevelt?
If fellow aspirants abroad, not
excluding even Hitler, would
learn how it is done, let them
study 'On Our Way and see."
Another unexpected convert is
the financial editor of the Con-
sentative Daily Telegraph, who
writes:
zone cannot lay down this book
without real admiration for a
great leader sincerely aiming at
things that are worth while. .

worlds sake, let Us pray he will

Donna shuddered and covered
her face with her hands in vain
effort to shut out the picture
that was all too clear because she
had witnessed the tragedy of her
feTp, fathers death .
Memory brought Madeline be-
fore her again as clearly as
though the girl were standing
there. She recalled their first
meeting in the agents office in
Chicago when Donna, looking for
a partner, had seen the country
girl sitting on a bench in the
outer office. How pretty and
fresh Madeline had been, in spite
of too much makeup and gar
ish, theatrical style of dressing.
The likeness between this girl
and herself had impressed Donna
at once and she had asked the
agent to introduce her.
Their partnership had been a
successful one. Though there had
been differences. though Made
line had been irving at times,
needless and often annoying, an
honest affection had existed be-
tween the two. The selfishness,
the frequent indications Of heart
lessness were forgotten and gen
uine Grief overwhelmed Donna,
causing her to burst into tears.
Fortunately there were no wit
nesses to her sorrow. Minnie was
in the dairy, Bill was looking
over the silos, and Miss Perkins
was reading aloud to Grandfather
Siddal.
To Donna's credit be it said
that her first impulse was to go
to the old man and tell him that
the child he had played with so
often, the little rcd-haired girl
who had run away from him, was
dead. 1t was only because she
knew that the shock Of such a
revelation might have serious
consequences for him that she
remained silent. Not for an in
slant did she think of Madeline's
inheritance.
After the first storm of emo
ton, which left her weak and
shaken. Donna re-read the news
paper clipping. Then she de-
stroyed it and decided to post
pone telling Grandfather of
Madeline's death until he was
stronger and better able to with
stand the shock. And of course,
with the postponement, she fur
Their undermined the shaky foun-
dations of her castle.
Fortunately, the only publica-
tons that found their way to the
Siddal farmhouse were agricul-
tural journals, the Lebanon
Weekly Courier, and a Sunday
newspaper from a nearby city.
Neither the farm journals nor
the Courier would carry the news
of Madeline's death, Donna was
sure, but there was possibility
that the Sunday newspaper might
print an account.
For three Sundays Donna con-
trived to get the newspaper be-
fore any other member of the
household and she feverishly
searched through every section.
Evidently the notice of the circus
tragedy had been printed during
the week, for she found no men,
ton of it.
She wrote Con, offering her
deepest sympathy and thanking
him for sending the news to her
instead of to Amos Siddal. She
added "I'm afraid the shock
would have killed him, as he is

Warn Parents
About Children

So many complaints have come in
to the county probation office in
regard to parents leaving small
youngsters parked in cars for long
periods Of time that that office is is
suing warning that if any more
complaints are turned in, action
will be taken promptly to punish
offenders.
During these warm days, it is
pointed out, the interior of automo-
biles parked in the sun becomes
terrifically hot and often parents
leave tiny youngsters for half an
hour to an hour suffering from the
intense heat. One case was report
ed of an 18-months- old child left
parked in a car with the sun shin
ing directly on it, all windows closed,
for nearly an hour while the mother
shopped, oblivious to the screams of
the baby, whose unfortunate plight
aroused the onlookers.
In most cases, the office believes,
parents are in the store longer than

tance from Bonds Corner to the
northern end of Salton Sea.
Chamber of commerce directors
were much pleased with Wallace IS
telegram stating this work will
commence within very short
time, as one of the projects in
which the chamber board has been
interesting itself is the further
surfacing of the secondary high
ways in Imperial county which
have been taken over by the state.
The Ell Centro chamber has been
particularly interested in the road
extending from a point east of
Heber, directly to Calipatria, which
would give Imperial Valley a north
and south highway. The surfacing
of this road has long been urged
by chamber directors as a means of
bringing traffic into the central
cities of the valley. 1t is hoped
that with the completion of the
work on the Bonds Corner-N inland
road, serving the people in the
eastern part of the valley plans
will be made for completely sur
facing the road serving the CEN
