BY B. MEL SMITH.


Would she be his first thought in
death?
He was an awful sight as he la
there moaning. We hadn't dared to
clean him up; we had only cut away
his aviator's suit and shirt to get
at him to Stanch the flow Of blood.
There was a chance that the in
tensity of his pain would recall him
to reality, for I dared not give him
much morphine.
I looked again at Anna and Ellen.
If John did not rouse then the marvel
that he had created would remain
living monument to his memory.
But if he awakened? What
would happen?
The question, seemingly absurd in
that room of ghastly, unbelievable
suffering persisted and ranked in
my mind. What then? Would John,
who had succeeded so gloriously in
life, be forced to recognize his failure
in death? Bitterly I resented the
| thought of Illustration that John
would carry to his grave. and.
though I am not a church man, I
prayed that he might not awake.
John drew up his knees and flung
his arms in a sudden wild burst Of
agony. The two women, their faces
buried in their hands, stifed tearing,
wrenching sobs, and clung to the
awful death-watch. With the help
of the two nurses I gave him another
hypo. I had to-he would have flung
himself of the high hospital bed.
y loy,
motionless; the muscles of his face
relaxed. I noticed that there was
still the semblance of a part in his
blond hair. If it hadn't been for
the blood on his face and neck he
would have looked almost natural.
Ellen and Anna drew nearer; they
hovered over him, breathless-mind.
soul and body focused on the inert
figure.
John opened his eyes. Though it
is against the laws of nature, know
that I stopped breathing as I gazed,
hypnotized, into those quiet, blue eyes.
Anna and Ellen. as they hung over
the bed from either side. were both
within the range of his vision. Then
John reached out his hand to each of
them-calmly, naturally. He brought
their hands together across his body;
he looked at them both and smiled.
Finally his lips parted, and he spoke.
viii you take care of Anna for
me, mother?"
I felt the air, heavy with antisep-
tics, come into my lungs again. 1
might have known it would be like
thati Anna, his last thought And
Ellen his last wordl
I saw the tension go out of the
two women; saw the clasp of their
hands tighten. And I saw q salts
fed ight-a light of triumph-in
Johns eyes just before he closed
them.

Ellen had always wanted John TO
have playmates and friends; her big
home was overrun with Johns CON-
panions, and everybody was happy as
long as John had plenty Of friends in
general. But the minute johns
affections became centered on a par
ticular person, whether 1t was boy
or a girl, that person found himself
or herself mysteriously, but effectively,
outside the circle.
As John grew older Ellen became
more and more absorbed in him, and
more Jealous of his attachments.
Her love, though. was undemonstra-
tive-I can't remember ever seeing
her kiss John-which made her cam
paign against others so much more
subtle, for Ellen was born diplomat.
A lesser person than John might
have been fooled by eXternals, but
not John. He made the discovery OF
his mothers pcSsessiveness when he
was about 16. He was a hyper
sensitive boy, but he was also IRON
willed; he loved his mother and his
nature was such that he could not
dominate person he cared for. And
to complicate matters for him, neither
could he endure friction.
When John, at 81, married Anna.
the battle for life of his own began.
A strange battle, a battle in which
his mother was unaware Of combat,
and would, therefore, be unaware Of
defeat
A moan of agony came from Johns
lips as I raised my eyes to hand
the hypo needle to one of the nurses.
I could only try to ease his pain
a little, for there was a great hole
in the back of his head. But Ellen
and Anna did not know that.
Anna's dark eyes. staring from her
white face, met mine. They surprised
the truth from me before I had time
to think of the right words to break
the news to her and to Ellen.
'win will he come to =.
Oe1Ore ;. her ups LWSteQ
about the words, like baby learning
10 talk.
Ellen, realizing that Anna had
learned something of Johns real dan
ger, took her eyes from his blood
covered face and looked at me. And
there. in the presence of death, I saw
the old, unmistakable desire-the de-
sire to be first, last and always in
Johns lifei

as could, for I suddenly knew how
dear John was to me. I fixed my
mind on his condition to steady
myself. For the moment couldn't

sands of visitors attend each year in
the mountains near Ashland, KY, was

Many Advantages
in Country Life
More or Less Artificiality
Surrounds Resident
of Big City.

1t is well for persons who go to
the country or to seaside resorts for
the summer to remember that the
country folk have advantages which
are not possible for city residents to
have. There is a recognized atmos-
phere about persons from metropol-
itan centers' which is at variance
with villagers, but this does not
necessarily mean that they are SUI
perior. What 1t signifies is that OPP
portunities for development are so
different that each knows different
world. The person from the city
knows a social life, one Of constant
mental activity and financial pres
sure. 1t is not restful life.
Diversions in the city are, for the
most part, artificial. That is, they
are man made. There are lectures,
theaters, concerts and cultural adj
vantages which are possible only
where there is sufficient population
to support such ventures. The con-
slant contact with history in the
making, and with people, gives
wide outlook, or 1t should, on such
matters, and a certain polish which
comes with constant association with
other persons. They have an ease III
company. These are some of the
advantages of city life.
The person in the country has nat
ural advantages. He has time for
thought. He has the opportunity to
watch the seasons change from one
beauty to another, to know birds, and
trees, flowers, and fruits. The book
Of nature is his to study first hand.
He has the advantages of pure air,
of quiet nights, and of the whole
range of benefits which the city per-
son goes into the country to get, on
vacations. There are many scholarly
country people, and real thinkers.
From the viewpoint of healthy sur
roundings and natural advantages,
the balance is all in favor Of the
country dweller.
1t seems a pity that there should
not be a real mutual appreciation of
each group of persons by each group,
instead of the cleavage which is
found between city and country folk.
Each has a little air Of superiority.
AS matter of fact, each group has
a great deal to contribute to the
other. During the summer there is

THE SANE LIFE
By DIR. HAROLD WILLIS DODD
President. Princeton University.

by LIN. f1AfLOLD WILLIS OODD
President, Princeton University.
THE devastation of the World
Il war and its catastrophe after
math have been interpreted by
some as revealing the emptiness of
accepted values and the need for newly
fabricated loyalties if one is to be
modern and free. But every man
needs something to live by and to live
for, and those who have jettisoned re-
ceived standards perforce turn to
strange gods most astonishingly BIZ
zarre and fanciful.
In the look ahead which today l
urge you to take, be sure to find a
place for intellectual and cultural in
terests outside your daily occupation.
1t is necessary that you do so if this
business of living is not to turn to dust
and ashes in your mouth. Moreover,
do not overlook the claims of religion
as the explanation of an otherwise I'M
Ineligible world.
1t is not the fast tempo of modern
life that kills but the boredom, a lack
of strong interest and failure to grow
that destroy. 1t is the feeling that
nothing is worth while that makes men
i'll and unhappy.

by NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER
Chairman, Carnegie Endowment for
international Peace.
TT HAS become clear that treat
l. les count for nothing in the
face of national ambition and of
what the ruling statesmen regard as
national security. Therefore Japan is
moving steadily toward the extension
of her control over vast portion of
Asia. Therefore Italy is feeling her
way toward the acquisition of new
territory and new economic opportu-
nifty in Africa, while Germany is, so
to speak, tossing in her bed, stirred
with ambition to extend her authority
toward the south and the southeast.
To deal with a complicated and very
real situation such as this will tax the
worlds wisdom and the worlds states
manship to the utmost. These condi-
lions, serious as they are, become more
so when it is realized how closely they
are bound up with the various revolu-
tionary movements now actively going
forward in the fields of economics, poll
tics and the social order.

BRITISH RECOVERY

WE ARE being censured for

the word plan. have seen nothing of
planning in any foreign country that
would lead me to think it is uni
versal panacea. l don't exactly know
what plan is. For some kinds of plans
there are books and pamphlets under
taking to cure unemployment.
have never promised to cure unem-
ployment. l have taken risks for I'M
employment. 1 threw away an office
and an election because 1 was con-
vinced that among things necessary to
help check growing unemployment
were tariffs l never promised to cure
unemployment and 1 shall never stand
on platform with anybody who does
promise it. think 1 can say of our
action during the time we have been
in office that we have made consider
able contribution toward it.
