GREETINGS TO 1884

The United States has come
to the end of one of the mo-
mentous years in its history.
it has been a year in which vast
and unprecedented experiments
have been tried. 1t has been a
year in which governmental
problems and issues have, to a
greater degree that at any time
since the World War, engaged
the attention and interest of the
public. 1t has been a year of
trial and error, of achievement
and failure. And finally it has
been a year of astonishing
change.
For the first time since gov
ernment was founded, there has
been sweeping legislation to
control the wages and hours of
the entire working population,
and the competitive methods of
virtually all industry. A dra-
matte and frankly experimental
effort to solve the farmers pro-
blems has become part of the
law of the land. The largest
public works program we have
ever known has been Inaugural
ted. Everything that the pres
ent leaders of government be-
lieved would spur recovery, has
been done. Advisors who had
no previous connection with
politics have been called in, and
their plans have been adopted.
The whole prestige of govern
ment and the immense power
of the public treasury, have
been used whole-heartedly and
sometimes ruthlessly to bring
us stability and prosperity.
In summing up, the American
people have the best Of reasons
for looking to the future with
confidence. The country is
still here. The land is no less
fertile than it was. It's indus
tries are no less great. It's in
dividual spirit is no less potent.
It's intellectual capacity is no
smaller. Factories, utilities,
railroads, insurance companies,
mines, banks, farms, they are
all still here, and they will be
doing business as usual when
new forces, new changes, of
which we know nothing now,
have usurped the center of the
stage.
So---Greetings to 1924!

aged In Mulberry Square. Hugh
wouldn't insist on living in the old
brick house. He would build her q
home at the far end Of Manor street.
She saw 1t In fancy, small perfect
house, set like jewel in graded
lawns. Hugh, If he persisted In being
stubborn, could help Father just as
well. She would give small perfect
dinners in her small perfect house.
Hugh was a dear, gentle, reliable,
nice-looking. He adored her.
She worked up feeling Of tender
ness for Hugh, lying there In Murieps
bed with the scented spring air blow
ing In through the open windows. She
was glad that she hadn't left a mes
sage. She pictured him frantic at her
sudden departure, pacing the floor with
that anxious expression In his eyes.
She thought she would call him on the
phone. Acting at once on this i'm
pulse, she pulled the lamp cord and
reached for the enameled telephone
by the bed.
It was Mrs. Quillen who answered
the call. No mistaking that hearty

Celia clicked the receiver into Its hook.
They weren't distracted about her.
They were probably playing cards with
that dreadful old man and drinking
ginger beer and having a very nice
time. JAMIE liked such peculiar peo-
pie. So, indeed, did Hugh. Celia
pulled the lamp cord and lay In the
dark thinking of many things.

ticeable the way the child waited for
him and ran when he whistled. She'd
done that with Father, though. It
was just JAMES way.
Celia dismissed the thought from her
mind. Before she went to sleep, how
ever, she reached certain decision.
She would not stay here for a few
days, however pleasant it might be
to be lazy and luxurious. She shouldn't
have left JAMIE alone. Tomorrow, on
an early train, she would return to

Great-uncle Charlie smiled at that.
He thought 1t extremely unlikely that
Helen had sent her love. He passed
on to consideration of what would
happen If the operation should be a
success. Uncle Charlie had kept close
ly in touch with the progress of events
in the old brick house. He knew very
well that his pretty grand-niece did
not look forward with pleasure to the
prospect of living in Mulberry Square.
He liked Hugh, though he thought the
boy was taking the matter too serious
ly. Uncle Charlie had never heard
all the story but he suspected that
Celia had, somehow, been to blame.
He knew, too, that jamie loved Hugh
with all the intensity Of her honest
little heart. He was the only member
Of the family, apparently, who real
lied that some time during this past
year jamie had grown up. But then,
with the exception of her father, no
one ever thought very much about
JAMIE. Celia was the important one.
It had been that way ever since they
were children.
Great-uncle Charlie was fond Of
jamie. He had never believed in the
Celia myths. He had, through the
years, watched Celia take things from
jamie in her own sweet fashion. He
was of the opinion that Celia had
taken enough. If Celia thought there
was chance Of her father recovering
entirely, she would hold on to Hugh.
II she thought that there wasn't, she
might try to get out of 1t, somehow.
And In the trying, she might go step
too far. The boy was in love with her.
But he wasn't a fool. So reasoned
Uncle Charlie. Doctor Ballard need
not have stressed the matter Of secrecy.
Uncle Charlie would not have given
Celia that information for anything in
the world.
He chuckled softly, folded the letter,
slipped 1t into wallet which held

Electricity in Human
Body a Potent Force

That human beings are really cleo
trio batteries, discharging some
times as much as a half a volt of
current, is suggested by Prof. Fred
Vles Of France. BY attaching elec-
trodes, worn by different people, to
delicate recording apparatus, he was
able to get the voltage emitted by
each, and to note the personal
changes in electrical characteristics.
A person in perfect health generates
the most current, but even that falls
off in gloomy weather; while Ill
health is always indicated in the
same way.
DR.. George Grille of the Cleveland
clinic, in a speech bearing no relation
to Professor Vles' findings, advances
the theory, backed by experiments Of
his own, that the working of the
mind is an electrical process, and
that current for this is generated by
100000, 000,000,000 individual dyna.

animals, he has found, emit short

CHAPTER vi

Great-uncle Charlie sat in what, in
the days Of Great-aunt Rose, had been
the drawing room Of the corner house
in the Square, surrounded by the
souvenirs Of gay and joyial life.
Great-aunt Rose, after the death of
her husband, had, for time, shared
the house with him. When the
shadows of the mill stacks had fallen
across the Square, she had fled to a
suite in the old Dauphin hotel where
she queened it over bereft ladies of
aristocratic ancestry who lived in sin
gle rooms. Great-uncle Charlie had
borne her DETECTION with admirable
courage. On the evening after the last
of her band-boxes, her sacred jim
cracks and Victorian relics had been
transferred to the hotel, he had opened
a bottle, propped his feet on love-
seat upholstered in old rose damask
and INDUCED himself in the singing of
various forbidden ditties, highly spiced
and extremely gratifying.
There was little Of the genteel at
mosphere which Great-aunt Rose had
maintained left in the long narrow
room with its marble crate, its mir
rors wreathed in cupids, its floor
length windows suffered with Vene-
tian blinds.
Curios Of frivolous nature, from
every part of the world, crowded each
other for space. There were photo
graphs of ladies In bustles and ladies
in tights and ladies In feather-plumed
hats; mementos of the days when
Great-uncle Charlie, dapper and gal
liant, had fitted from flower to flower.
Old JEFF, himself, was souvenir Of
month Of revelry in Havana when
Great-uncie Charlie was twenty-five
and slim as rapier blade. JEFF had
been won, on the turn of card, from
dashing young Spanish grandee.
Great-uncle Charlie had been, In his
time, gentlemen of parts.
AS he sat. tonight, in an easy chair
beneath a sputtering gas lamp, Great
uncle Charlie was not thinking Of
youthful revels or of the lovely ladies
he once had known, though the un-
easy magic Of spring came in with the
fragrance Of lilacs through the win
dows which JEFF had opened. His
plump old hands held letter which
he had received a week ago and had
reread many times. 1t was a letter
from his nephew. John, and contained
important news

when jeff entered the room a few

and the table. Wen do our best to

That means of forgetting was, for
the moment, denied them. The front
door suddenly opened and jamie pro-
jected herself into the room with the
speed of a whizzing rocket. Hugh
followed close at her heels.
"Uncle Charliel" jamie cried. Cecilia
hasn't come homel"
Cecilia, eh?' The old man pricked
up his ears.
"She said she was going in town.
But didn't think she would stay this
long. She didn't come on the 8:15,

jamie talked in breathless gasps.
Hugh said nothing at all. He stood
in the open doorway, question in his
eyes.
