Of everything.
CHAPTER XIV
There is in the Bible q certain
verse: salt is good, but II the

SalteO ?"
Life once had been salt for me.
There was in each common, daily
experience-no matter how diff.
cult, dangerous or monotonous-
a sharp tang of eagerness. Now,
suddenly, that salt had lost its
seasoning.
Two things-grief and success
had robbed my life Of its SAVIOR.
Wherewith could I be resulted?
I did not know. was too tired
even to wonder.
This exhaustion-though I did
not realize twas also happen
ing to many millions of other
Americans. It was the inevitable
result of that swift postwar era
of phenomenal achievement and
indulgence.

less children. InvalidS. JobleSs
boys and men. Souls that had
lost their SAVIOUR" through mod
ern living, as mine had.
Sometimes the experiment was
success; often 1t wasn't.
I learned many things. learned
that people rarely want to be
helped unless they can be helped
in their own way. Which Is
often cockeyed. But what OF
that?
People have as much right to
make mistakes as to achieve tri-
umphs. And it's frequently far
more essential to their growth.
Sometimes things worked; some
times they didn't. It no longer
mattered. On I went. Built as
much as I could afford. Stayed
as long as I could.
Then went off to see some more,
to write. To see dreadful things,
as the depression mounted.
Strikes. Riots. Starving miners,
factory workers, mill hands.
Then back again. building. %
living.
Life had resulted me, as it will
resalt anyone who has the courage
and patience to 90 back again to
its beginnings.
Now that which was started Of
impulse, as a temporary camp, is
growing into an established ranch
with a settled purpose.
Last year, I put 20 acres OF
vineyard-mission, muscat and
zinfandel; planted three orchards
Of mixed fruits; built a barn.
There are 10 houses now. I've
mixed the watts Of paints for them

men. Between the pages Of writ.
ing this, I've been out buying pigs,
sheep, hens.
And once again I've risked a
personal life. Last June mar
ried Benton Fremont. Nearly 80
years ago his grandfather-Gen-
eral John Charles Fremont-led
his ragged, starving band OF
soldiers, surveyors and Indian
scouts down these trails into o
fabulous Spanish land. A few
years later, he brought that land
into the United States. But 1t
was the passion of pioneering, not
for possession, which swept him
on.
His grandson has inherited that
passion. An engineer, he first
worked in the wilderness. Then
as so many Americans are
doing-he sought refuge and re-
newal there for himself and his
little son, John Charles the 4th.
He helped me build. Now he is
helping me live.

learn, in our impatient arrogance,
that they also serve who only
stand and wait"
So once again-between a dawn
and a twilight packed my few
bundles, turned my back on the
record of the years, and went out
into whatever lay ahead.
1t was March. Spring-lusty,
gypsy-hot and sweet-laughed and
sang over all California. Powdery
acacia sprayed the lilac sky with
gold. Prune blossoms broke in
tides Of snowy foam. New lambs
played in fragrant fields. And

its wall against the East.

decided to go farther north
into one of the old mining towns
where, for years, 1 had made pill
gramages with Fremont and Cora
Older and annie Laurie"
So, in 1929, 1 came up to
Sonora, California, with the larks
yodeling from every fence rail,
and the spring wheat sharply
green against the warm old clods,
and the great pines, booming,
thunder-dark, thunder-deep, over
the winding road.
But of it all I saw nothing,
felt nothing. There was before
my eyes only the picture of a
dead face. And in my mind
turning, turning-the bite
The Washington times., 1935-05-04

Must live two lives
In one.
One part of me
Lives here
Works, plays, loves, laughs,
AS If it knew
No other life but this.
Yet, all the while
Unseen by those who watch,
My secret self
Goes cropping on your trail;
Goes calling-calling {. ..
Do you ever hear?
Or, hearing, know
How I still love you, dear?
How can I tell you
That our love goes on
Unchanged?
How prove to all the world
That love is worth
All that it costs in pain?
Easy enough to raise
A monument to grief.
But how shall one
Build monuments to joy?
Erect a shaft
To pride and gratitude?
Show, by some symbol
Or heoric act,
All that love meant
In those lost yearS-and now?
A slab of stone?
No; stones too cold
And dead.
Your body died
And, with it, half my heart.
But not one throb
Of our warm love has cooled.
It burns as brightly
AS before you passed.
Why mark a living love
With piles cold cold, dead stones?
A wreath Of flowers?
But funeral flowers are sad.
Cut off, they wither
And their sweetness fades.
If I should grieve,
Wear withered flowers
On my aching heart,
Then all the world would say,
"She's sorry that she loved;
She mournS her own lost JOY.
Love spoils a life, sometimes.
Be careful how you loVe!"
Cold stones
AL RoInl f1AuyaTcO
No. Such things betray
And shut you out;
Make death seem final;
Seem to say
That loves not worth
The price one has to pay.
Not stones and flowers.
Then what can do
To show the world, and you,
That loves goes on triumphant;
That love always pays?
Dear, I can live!
o my own life
I'll build your Monument!

roses burst into sudden gold and

Sonora.
Sometimes at night swooped
down to that empty house in
San Francisco. walked for an
hour through its heartbreak
rooms. Came back, before dawn.
But still I moved in a troubled
dream.
But Sonora, as well as Life, was
busy working on me. hate to tell
you about Sonora. SelfiShly, I'm
afraid you'll all come piling. in and
spoil it for me. But I suppose I've
no more right to keep Sonora to
myself than I would have to keep
that other real estate development
which I privately suspect to be
far inferior in charm-the King
dom Of Heaven.
Bret Harte loved Sonora. So did
Mark Twain. Hollywood comes
here yearly on location. But God
must have loved it most Of all, or
He would never have set it down
in such beauty or filled the hearts
Of its people with such kindness
and courage.
There are those who say they do
not like little towns" But the
braveness and boundlesS friendli-
ness Of this little town during
these last four years might well
have Shamed big cry-baby nation.
And I wouldn't exchange one yard
of its rambling Main Street-With
the old church standing at one
end, and the cowboys and miners
loafing on the curb-for all of New
York, Chicago, st. Louis and way
stations.
I was sick of life. I had made a
mess of things. But hands reached
out over garden walls to give me
bouquets of old-fashioned flowers.
Kindly voices called from kitchen
doors to ask me If I'd like a slice
Of fresh rhubarb pie.
One day I stopped looking at pa
pers, stopped tapping keys. Lifted
my head. Looked up through an
old bronze cypress at soaring tur-
quoise sky.
It came to me suddenly that I
should like to build a summer
camp where could bring my in
valid brother and sister and their
families.
Land-covered with forest-cost
almost nothing. To develop water
and make roads, grow or bring in
food, was a harder problem. But
my interest began to stir.
Presently was watching an
open air eating platform being
hammered together. Helping men
brace tent poles; lay floors. Won
der1ng what sort of flowers would
grow in that bottomless virgin
soil.
My brother with his wife and
child, my sister with her chill
dren, various friends, came,
played, loafed, took in the sights.
But I rarely saw them. Auto
matically as a sleepwalker, I
worked on and on in the place
had built off in the woods.
The summer passed! Vacation
was over. They went away. I
closed the house, summer af-
fair-went back to New York on
work trip.
But now the faint stirring
within me had become a definite
prickling Of new life. I moved
through the whoopla spectacle of
Broadway, Times Square, Park
Avenue, but I did not see it.
was seeing only the long heave
and Swoop Of that Sierra wall;
hearing only the thunder of the
pines; smelling those burrows of
earth newly turned and rescued
from the wilderness.
At Last She Cared

The Washington times., 1935-05-04

Who dare bawl out the afflicted?
Brutal words? Maybe; but also
merciful ones, and desperately
needed. For if we use sorrow
as hideaway, we may duck re-
sponsibility-but we also pass up
life. Then grief, the hideaWay,
becomes also a grave, and we ere
entombed, as surely as our dead.
This I knew, but did not want
to know, and fought against the
knowing. So I passed through
those inevitable stages of selfish
egotism and coWardly retreat
which most of US experience
after tragedy. Being Protestant,
have never learned the Catholic
doctrine Of Purgatory. Yet in
those days I found that nothing
is more certain than the souls
inevitable pilgrimage through the
various hells Of its own weak
ness. And this is as true of the
living as it must be Of the dead.
CHAPTER XIII
Mother and son-and comrades
though we were, we had always
been Spirits clad in veils"; we
had never been able to lift that
which lies between" Yet had
been able to believe in that unseen
spirit while the clay, which was
his body, separated us. Could I
not believe in it still when the
clay, which was his grave, divided
us?
I could: I did: I do. I believe
my boy lives now, just as he lived
on earth, only more freely and
joyously. This is not religious"
belief. I see no reason why life
after death should be an ex-
clusively religious experience, any
more than life before death. I
simply believe that life is life,
unconquerable, proceeding mex
, orably, nonchalantly across birth
beds and gravestones, on its trail
among the stars.
And we mothers who have ex-
perienced the miracle OF birth
should be the last ones to acknowl-
edge the reality of death.
So wisdom came to me, slowly.
One day 1 wrote the following
verses, which helped me to make
the gestures" until life had mean
ing again. Perhaps they will help
others.
The Washington times., 1935-05-04
Poor stuff, my life;
For in myself

For in myself
I'm neither brave, nor good,
Nor kind, no wise.
But love can turn.
My weakness into strength,
Cleanse me of lies,
And teach me tenderness,
And keep me patient
Through the cruelest pain.
Yes, love can work
That shining miracle:
And my strong life
Shall be your monument!
Darkness. Gradually. out Of
the darkness, a little wisdom that
made new earth for me. But
for a long time there was only
chaos. But made a frantic ef-
fort to restore my life to nor
malcy-an effort which I now
know to have been largely hys-
terical.
My empty heart; those empty
rooms-they must not be per-

my overwhelming grief. I felt
that such emptiness was an af-

BY VICTOR EUBANK,

Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, April 1.-THE stock
market relaxed its grip in late trading
today and tilted backward under in
creased profit-taking in rails. other
divisions of the list offered stubborn
resistance and there were some firm
spots.
At the beginning of the final hour
losses Of fractions to a point or SO
were shown by du Pont, Chrysler.
General Motors. Santa Fe, j. I. Case,
Standard of New Jersey. Cerro de
Pasco and American Telephone. Union
Pacific was especially soft. Houdaille-
Hershey and other motor equipment
shares lost part of their early gains,
but resisted the downward trend Wig
orously. The late tone was inclined
to heaviness. Sales aggregated $4,000
shares.
Lowering of the official call money
rate to "a of per cent failed to
bring any perceptible increase in
trading activity, inasmuch as this
rate was available TO borrowers yes
terday when a number of institutions
demonstrated their independence OF
official action and placed funds at
that rate.
Midweek trade and business re-
ports furnished no great stimulus to
bullish enthusiasm, neither did they
supply any impressive basis for liqui-
dation or give shorts any inspiration
to throw stocks at the market.
The ability of the market to respond
to favorable earnings reports was
demonstrated in the case Of both
Houdaille- Hershey and Gillette Safety
Razor, large blocks of which changed
hands during forenoon trading. Gil
lette reported first-quarter earnings
of 40 cents on the common against
26 cents last year, and Houdaille-
Hershey reported net profit of S902,-
