CHAPTER VIII

Nicholas Brandon was a man Of for
ty-five. He was rich, he was powerful,
he had achieved much of what he held
to be desirable.
But his experience had been empty
Of things that most men crave above
all else. He had not seen Dawn Nc
Manus In three years until she came
back to Lineup that November. He
had known her always. He had
watched her grow from infant to child |;
from child to a wistful, shy girl, liv-
ing under the cloud of her fathers
tragic disappearance; but the transi-
ton from girlhood to womanhood had
been made during her longest absence
from the town that had been her only
home. And so when he saw her, after
her arrival, instead Of the young girl
he remembered, toward whom he had
always been gentle and kind while he
sought to pilfer her heritage, he en-
countered lovely, compelling young
woman. She charmed him, stirred In
his heart long neglected and now
twisted and distorted wants which,
given liberty in his youth, might have
been fine and open and clean. He
wanted Dawn McManus as he never
had wanted anything before.
Slowly clear understanding of that
desire struggled through to his con-
seriousness. In the beginning it was
only an unidentified. disturbing urge
but when the realization finally took
shape he proceeded deliberately and
methodically toward the formulation
of a plan, as was his way in attaining
any goal.
He saw Dawn frequently, dropping in
to visit briefly in passing, taking her in
his cutter on a drive to camp once,
casually asking her to do this or that
with him. But he could not interest
her despite his persistent efforts, and
now another element was injected into
the situation. When he encountered
Ben Elliott that afternoon in friendly
conversation with Dawn 1t required all
his resourcefulness to retain a show
of self-control. Inwardly he seethed
with a hatred which now had the ele-
ment of jealousy for an embittering
alloy. He hated Ben Elliott with all his
soul and mingled with his passion for

ness, for her sweetness, for her power

A double motive impelled him. there

to possess the Hoot Owl Without that
timber and the tidy fortune it might
some day represent Dawn would be
without resources. And a girl without
property, he believed, would be easy
prey.
But complications rose to stir his
ire and chagrin. And so this night

Invented Original Telegraph

Samuel Morse. the American who In
vented the original telegraph ap-
paratus, obtained a patent In France;
but this was afterwards appropriated
by the French government without
compensation to the inventor. Eventu-
ally he returned to America, and the
first telegram was transmitted from
Baltimore to Washington in 1874. The
original Morse apparatus recorded the
dots and dashes on moving tape. bur
when II was discovered that messages
could he read by sound alone. the tape
was abolished and speeding up Of
transmission and reception was eff
fected. Even an experienced Morse
operator could only deal with 40 r. so

The liquid test
...it ENDS bowel worries
for many people

This is test that tells you whether
the system needs cafhdrtic change.
Ii you have constant sluggish spells
or bilious attacks, and laxatives seem
to make things worse, it would be
wise to try this:
Stop all use of any laxative that
does not encourage variation from
''fixed dose" (which may be entirely
too large dose for your individual
need. Use instead, liquid laxative
that you can measure and regulate
as to dose. AS necessary to repeat,
take smaller doses, less and less often,
until the bowels are moving without
any help at all.
Doctors use liquid laxatives, and
a properly prepared liquid laxative,
containing natural laxative agents
like SIENNA and cascara is a Joy and
a comfort; real help in establishing
regularity. Ask your doctor about
thisl doctors use liquid laxatives.)
You can get DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, which is a most dependable
liquid laxative, at any drug store.

The American Medical Associ-
alton for the last year has been pub
fishing in it's weekly journal a series
of articles called "Glandular Ply

This series has attracted world
wide medical attention and trans
lators and publishers in seven coun-
tries, including Germany, have asked
for rights to translate and repub-
lish the articles.
Asked for Series
Among these was the Berlin pub
fishing house of Urban g. SchWar-

ticle originally written in German
by Profs. Aschiem and zondek on
the pregnancy test which they have
developed, the most accurate one yet

lowing letter has been received from
him:

record. The small retail businesses
and the farms Of the Nation are not
included In the totals of employment
and Of weekly wages which have
cited. but in their case also it Is
common knowledge that many thou
sands of additional men and women
have been provided with work.
In direct proportion as the Nation
as q whole more greatly receives so
is the Nation in a position more
greatly to give.
Reasons for More Giving.
Why, you may ask, If the distress
and the unemployment are less, should
the giving be greater? The answer
is twofold: First Of all it Is, know,
your hope and mine that the necessi-
ties of government relief furnished by
funds received by taxation should de-
crease as rapidly as human needs
will allow.
But the other reason Is Of deeper
significance, greater importance. There
are, as you and I know, hundreds OF
thousands of men, women and chill
dren who require the kind of assist
ance which private charity and not
Government should give. There still
remains, and will long remain, a sadly
distressed segment OF our population,
destitute and unprovided for. in the
communities Of the United States.
These are the ones whose plight
you, as a good neighbor, go out this
week to call to the attention of their
more fortunate fellows. 1t is with
them that our private, social agencies
are primarily concerned. We know
that medical care still needs to be
extended to thousands who have not
the means to pay for it. We know
that great numbers Of children still
suffer from malnutrition. We know
that families separated by economic
circumstance must be reunited and
given opportunities to move forward
We know that the hospitals, clinics
and day nurseries need and deserve
our help; that homes for the aged, for
the blind, for the incurable, must
carry on their splendid work: that
the agencies that build and help the
youth of our community must and
should expand then splendid work.
Want to Emphasize Work"
But we do want to emphasize that
word work" Neither private charity
ror Government relief wants to con-
tinue to help people who can work
but who won't work. There is only
one legitimate excuse for unwilling

future the framework for unemploy-
ment insurance, for old age assistance
and for aid to dependent children. The
full force and effect OF the social
security law cannot, of course, become
operative until several years have
elapsed, nor will this law in any sense
replace the proper and legitimate
fields now covered by private con-
tributions to private charities.
I can, however, bring you good news
this evening. The results of the Sep
tember employment survey have just
come to me from the Secretary Of
Labor. During the month of Septem-
Der 350,000 men and women were re-
turned to private employment in the
reporting industries of the Nation,
and the money in the weekly pay
envelopes of these industries was
S12000,000 greater than their weekly
pay envelopes in the previous month
Df August. This means that the
workers in these reporting industries

which I have cited lead me to q
greater confidence that private indus
try is living up to my hope. We seem
to be taking up the slack.
Even those industries which were
long backward in showing signs of
recovery are putting their best foot
forward. The so-called heavy indus
tries, for example, show encouraging
signs of improvement. Employment
in this so-called durable goods group
is now 81 per cent higher than it was
in the Spring of 1893; their weekly
pay rolls are 139 per cent greater;
and this represents a net increase in
employment Of l,185,000 men and
women, and a rise of over 0,000, 900
in weekly pay rolls.
cite all of these figures because
they relate to that kind of employ
ment for which the Government has
definite statistics. They do not apply
to the many other forms of employ
ment Of which there Is no adequate
