Can you tell which is your heart and

only girl in the world who knows
everything I've ever done, everything
I'm ever going to do. Now you're 60

Where to? How do / know whether
I'll ever see you again?
"Oh, Tony, please don't please

''Sure. Yes. You'll come back, but

"Oh, Kate, forgive me. You know

She raised her cheek to his lips and

She gulped. her throat too full for
speech. He all but pushed her over the
edge and started paying out. The
sheet was too short by several feet.
She hung twirling in air, looking down,
trying to measure the distance in the
darkness beneath. No use; she could
only trust his word. Taking a firm

care you all right?" No answer.
Then his astonished ears caught the
scampering of light feet along the gal
lery of the patio. Wait" he called in
an agonized whisper, wait for me!'
Before he could gather his wits and
start down himself, she had reached
the kitchen. The next instant chair
tumbled with thud. Had she gone

on the cement like fire alarm and
only the fraction of a moment later
came the slam of the outer door, coin
Gliding with a scream from Paca.
Tony gasped. shaken from head to
foot by rage mingled with dismay.
Instinctively he dragged up the sheet,
dropped it through the hole in the
roof and crouched deep within the
protecting shadow of the Bougain-
villea. Carinegro issued into the hall
way with roar and flashed on the
lights. Paca, Antofiico and Geromo
rushed from their rooms.
Kathleen had locked the stout pos
tern door behind her. She had alarmed
more than the house and had no
trouble in locating the stallion, for
there was his fighting head upthrown
against the starlit sky. and never had
she witnessed such fury. The outraged
beast strove to break the halter or his
own neck. or to lift the very earth
with the tree to which he was tied.
The action she had planned had
seemed quite simple - sever the rope
and let him run. But as she ap-
preached, he sank on his launches and
struck out like boxer with his fore
feet. When one hoof actually grazed
her hand, she sprang back and, for a
breathless moment, stood trembling
and powerless.
Where was her brain? Wasn't Tony
an expert horseman? Then she knew
exactly how the rope would be tied.
Placing the tree between herself and
the rearing beast she reached out,
lifted the ropes end from within the
inevitable loop and gave it a strong
pull. Instantly came freedom for
Fuego. He whirled with a resounding
snort and as he thundered into a gal
lop, the flying rope lashed him into a
frenzy. Kathleen stepped back to the
postern, pressed her ear against it and
listened. Not more than sixty seconds
had elapsed since she had blundered
through the kitchen. and only now
was Carinegro's roar becoming vocal.
THE car" he was yelling. while
the road goes straight. the horse will
stick to it. Quick, Seforita. the key"
At the roar of the starting engine,
strangely augmented by the furious
sounding of more distant motor
horn. two things happened: Kathleen
quietly entered through the postern
door, locking it behind her, and Tony
came turnbling down through the
Bougainvillea.

HowWe Have Changed!

We rushed overwhelmingly to en-
act federal prohibition of liquor. A
very few years later we rushed over
whelmingly to de-enact it.
In the spring of 1919 we shouted
unanimously for the League of Ma
tions. Hardly a Senator dared to op-
pose it. In the fall of 1920 we elected
the League of Nations from our ma
tional approval by devastating and
crushing vote. Thereafter hardly
Senator dared to support it.
In 1888 we hailed the NRA, in its
cradle, as Our economic salvation. In
1885 we danced on its grave.
The plain truth is that in public
affairs we are now one of the most TN
fixed and volatile peoples in the worlds
history. We can thaw from solid to
a liquid to gas, and then CONCEAL
back from gas to liquid to solid.
with rapidity which surely must
appal the spirit of the steadfast coun-
try squire of Virginia who by pertin-
acious pursuit Of just one line of
thought and conduct became the
Father of Our Country.
But there is no sense, guess, in
crying about it. 1t is the necessary
accompaniment. l imagine, to- the
present contradictions in our national
soul. Let us return to those contradic-
tions and gaze at just a few more of
them.
We have become, in the last thirty
years - many of us - total strays
from religion. We have joined - many.
of us - the great communion of the
'unchurched." Nevertheless, another
and different many of us have become
much vitality and positively interested
in religion. This is proved by the
amazing number of contemporary
conversions" from one faith to a
rival faith. 1t is also proved by the
vastly increased output of searching
treatises, in book form or in pamphlet
form. on the whole topic of the faith
of man in God. have not the slightest
doubt that we are today both a more
religious people and more irreligious
people than we were generation ago.
Similarly, we are less inclined to-
ward violence and nevertheless more
inclined toward it. We have developed
a greater repugnance to war. We have
produced many more pacifists. We
have also produced many more gang
sters, many more bandits, many more
strong-arm racketeers. We are richer
in devotees OF organized peace; and
we are richer in practitioners of Or
ganized crime.
Again, we are better educated than
we used to be, and at the same time
more deficient in that ultimate fruit
of education: skeptical and discrimin-
ating judgment. More of us are in
grade schools. More of us are in high
schools. More of us are in universities.
And yet never before have we been
such easy customers of wayside po-
litical and economic gold-brick artists.
Never before have we been so readily
willing to take swig from any prof
fered bottle of aerated salvation la
beled "a PLAN"
And we are not embarrassed if we
are found drinking from two bottles
of opposite prescriptions, with one in
each hand. l have seen great growth

seen, in the control of government
over our economic lives, and under
both Political parties, a great growth
of the principle: LET Our Rulers Run
Us Around" have seen both an in
creasing revolt of the people and an
increasing subservience of the people
in matters of government.
In sum, I should say that at this
time it is quite difficult to make out
that we have any comprehensive ma
tional character at all. 1t is such
thoughts that lead many of our OBJ
servers to lament the approaching de-
mise of the Republic and to begin to

the world in their reputation for con-

was it always so? Not - certainly
in the Seventeenth century.
Toward the end of the Seventeenth
century travelled Frenchman wrote

the light-headed and fickle-hearted
character of the English; and he was
perfectly correct. for that century.
In that century the English exc

They destroyed that Commonwealth.
They erected in its place a Dictator
ship. They destroyed that Dictator
ship. They recalled a monarch and re-
introduced Monarchy. They there
after. within few years, exiled
native monarch and imported mon
arch from The Netherlands.
They also - in that same century
- abolished the theater, because they
thought that even good plays were
wicked; and they then re-established
the theater and proceeded to produce
plays which achieved a reputation
never since surpassed for dirtiness.
They consolidated - in that CEN
tury - the moral system called Puri-
tanism; and, within a decade, they
transferred their admiring allegiance
to king as famous for mistresses as
Henry the Eighth had been for wives.

mold of national character to some
other coming mold. We are living in
