u. s. Senator from California
Former Secretary Of the Treasury
There is, in my opinion, no
single element Of danger Of any
sort, kind or condition in the
issuance of the propG Sed cur
rency with which to pay our
obligation to the veterans Of
, the World war.
The issue, 1900 millions in
addition to Treasury notes, as
provided in the Pstman bill,
would affect the credit Of this
Government adversely just as
much as a spadeful Of sand
thrown upon the seashCre
would influance the incoming
tide.
No Ground --Or Fear
There is no ground whatever
for fear that such issuance
would affect the credit Of the
United States. On the con-
trary, it would have two desir-
able effects.
In the first place, I think 1t
will be q great thing for this
country il we settle now, and
promptly, the controversial
question as to the payment Of
the adjusted service certificates.
But secondly, and more inn
portant, I think, is saving the
money we could save by issuing

reveal his South Seas secret as
to how to get we'll and keep well,
today was found guilty of viola
ton of the District Healing Arts

phenomena of bat-like appari'

that lights were thrown from the

male singers with their hands

a shadow like a bats head and
the spike tails caused the illusion

But there were no bats in the

club sang. Both the Women's
Club and the Mems Club gave evil

sang in a natural manner. hence
with sweet tone: they followed
the director, hence the concerted
attacks and expression modula-
tons; they wanted the audience
to understand what they were
singing about. hence the excellent
diction.
There is something about col
lege glee club that is seldom
found in other organizations. Col
lege students are accustomed to
being led into broader paths OF
knowledge and this frame of mind
carries over in their singing. They
invariably submerge solo ambi
tons and contribute to the whole
according to the direction of the
conductor. What they attempt
they finish with infinite pains
with the most pleasing results.
Whether singing sacred selec

it is said that the playing of this

LEWIS PLEADS
FOR BONUS
BY JOHN L. LEWIS
President. United Mine Workers
Of America

OF America
I hope Congress will finally
sustain the bonus bill because I
think it will contribute immeaS-
urably to improved national eco
nomic welfare.
It will go far toward creating
a better state of mind among the
men who fought so valiantly,
made so many sacrifices, for their
country during the World War.
Serve Useful Purpose
The money will go into circu-
lation everywhere and will serve
the same useful purpose as the
money appropriated for the 1880
million dollar WORK relief pro-
gram.
At its last convention, the
United Mine Workers of America
unanimously urged immediate
payment of the adjusted service
certificates.

school boards were flooded with app
plications. Her last letter had been
one of complete despair.
When, early this morning, Roddy
had set out for Ballantyne in his car,
he had had the curious feeling that
the sun was a little too bright, thta he
could not see as clearly as he had
been used to do, over undulating
prairies that he knew as well as he
knew his own face. But there had
been tense excitement about that
journey, and when he had come to it's
end he had seen Corinne, small and
beautifully made, and Corinne's
brown eyes with their look of helpless
within an hour, beneath
the grape arbor of the Meader place,
he had asked her 20 marry him. He
had. told her that he hoped to get the
Grenoble land, a richer tract than his
own, and that after while life on
farm would not be as hard as it was
being painted just now.

A porter had deposited on the plat
form two travelling bags of fine black
leather, name stamped on each in
silver. Two little boys scampered up
to the cases and read the name loudly
enough for all to rear.
A murmur moved about the plat
form. "She goes by the name of Sill
yer, Ell? Kind O. funny"
Shad Finney and Nils Ulevik stood
at decent distance, their watery old
eyes taking in the scene. They saw
the girl seize one of the travelling
bags Sophronia the other. A baggage
man spoke to them about trunk that
had been taken off the train, and
after word of instruction Sophronia
moved away with Silver to the steps
at the head Of the platform.
Jess Melbank had risen from her
bench and had ambled forward, to
stand surveying the strange girl up
and down as she advanced. Sophronia
ignored her, and one might have
thought that Silver Grenoble did not
see either her or anyone else in that
gathering.

the platform steps, Duke Melbank
cleared his throat with long, pro-
found rumble, and then coughed light
ly behind his hand. A litter arose.
Sophronia, setting down the suitcase
she carried, swung about.
"That was you wasn't it, Duke ?"
she said in her explosive voice.
"Me what?" Duke asked innocently.
"It was him" a small boy piped and
darted behind his mothers skirts.
"You know what I mean" Sophro-
niasaid loudly. ct was you that
coughed."
"Can't a guy cough?" Duke de-
manded with an injured air.
Sophronia Willard was not one to
mince matters. Her long arm shot
forward, and her large bony fist came
accurately home just beneath the soft
cleft of Duke Melbank's chin. A gasp
rose from the crowd. Duke reeled
backward, struck his shoulder blade
against the depot wall and uttered a
sound half way between grunt and
a whine.
Phronie stood back from him, her
face alight with satisfaction. She was

recalled the widening of Corinne's
brown eyes and her slow, thorough
survey of him. She had hesitated for
a moment and then, glancing with a
curious smile at his hand, she had
extended her own and in his huge,
hard grasp it had been swallowed
completely. He had kept his eyes fast
ened dumbly upon her face and had
seen her lids droop in a way that
could have been nothing but deliber-
ate coquetry. Roddy had blushed furi-
ously as he heard Harry Richter's
amused laugh.
She was the daughter of the bank
er in Ballantyne. 1t was something of
a wonder that he, Roddy Willard,
should have taken her to the movies

and to dances number of times dur
ing their college career, a little be-
wildered, little uncertain, and very
much flattered by the occasional,
capricious preference she showed him
over all the other admirers who flock
ed about her.
One summer vacation she had driv-
en- over from house party on Twin
Deer lake and had found Roddy on
the Willard farm, anxiously minis
tering to sick horse in the pasture.
Later, Corinne had sat in Sophronia's
parlor and had glanced about at the
walls. A few days later he had SUBJ
stituted some etchings and water
colors for his stepmother's horrible
objects dart. But Corinne had never
come again, and afterwards Roddy
had been a little ashamed of his
snobbery in removing Phronie's treas
ures, even though, truth to tell, the
walls were more pleasing without the
burnt leather image of Pocahontas
with the calendar beneath.
Roddy wondered now why it was
that he had never kissed Corinne dur
ing those years while he was seeing
her frequently. Perhaps it was his
own humility. Perhaps it was because
he suspected that it was his physical
self alone that appealed to her, and
that beyond the satisfaction of an
established conquest she would have
no use for him. He was in earnest
where Corinne was concerned, and he
had been afraid of discovering that
she was not in earnest about him.
But he knew now that she had been
in earnest. A month ago, the local pa
per had made much of the failure of
the bank in Ballantyne, though all
had absolved from blame old Edwin
Meader, Corinne's father. Roddy had
had number Of letters from Corinne
after that, and their tone had become
increasingly respondent. What was
she to do? Her father was completely
broken. Her mother had fifty dollars
month of her own to live on.
Corinne, who had been one of the
Ballantyne smart set, had made eff
forts to get position at teaching,
even in country school, but the

about to turn away when Jess Mel
bank, with amazing alacrity for one
of her weight, suddenly stepped be-
tween Phronie and Duke.
Jess screamed maledictions. She
shook her fist in Sophronia's face.
Her language was of the cellar of cell
lars. She everybody else in
Heron River knew-what the daughter
of Jim Grenoble was! Small boys
stood rooted, little girls sped back in
terror. Women turned pale and mems
mouths twisted. But Jess Melbank
did not strike Phronie Willard. And
Phronie remained motionless as gran
tie. While Jess was drawing breath
to begin anew, Phronie turned haugh-
tily away, swept up the suitcase and
led Silver down the steps. The two
old men saw the women get into the
old Willard car and vanish down the
street.
There had been a moment of dead
silence. But now there was the I'M
pleasant babble human voices. Shad
hooked his arm in Nils Ulevik's and

wondering much.
CHAPTER III
On that night in July, a night that
was moonless but whitley lambert
with stars, asouthwest wind moved in
sultry Incidence up across the stup-
endous void of Dakota, and thence ac-
ross the state line and over farm land
suddenly lush with yield. It lightly
touched Roddy Wizards cheek and
stirred his dark, uncovered hair as he
drove his car toward Heron River.
His thoughts were so intense that
every now and then the motor came
almost to halt on the narrow, wind
ing road. At such times he would i'm
patiently apply his foot to the accele-
rator and continue for while at a
reckless speed.
He did not see the road before him.
He saw rather the monotoned piano.
rama Of his own life, unrolling back
ward to the years of his adolescence,
when his father had sold the farm in
the adjoining county and moved to the
Grenoble place, half of which had be-
come his property. Gentleman JIM
Grenoble, when he had begun his life
Of vagabondage, had refused to relin-
quish his section. But now in the
foreground of that panorama, bright
and excitingly strange, was the face
of Corinne Meader.
In one week Corinne would be his
wife.
He saw her face as he had seen it
that first day, in an ice cream parlor,
an hour after he had registered at the
State Agricultural college seven year
ago. He had been twenty, older than
most of the entrants and Corinne was
seventeen, a freshman in arts at the
, university. Harry Richter had introd-
uced them, and even now, after every
thing that had happened, Roddy's
heart beat oppresslvely again as he
