Raw Deal Collapse
Predicted by Hoover

CHICAGO, Jan. 8 O.SJ.-For-
mer President Herbert Hoover
yesterday declined to discuss the
Supreme Courts invalidation Of
the AAA with reporters as he
tarried here en- route to New
York.
But to several friends who called
on him in the offices of Arch w.
Shaw, in La Sale Street, he is
reported to have expressed Ella
ton over the decision and to have
predicted the quick collapse of the
entire New Deal.
All Mr.. Hoover would say to
reporters was that he would
handle the whole New Deal issue
in his forthcoming speech at Lin

the larger figure was up and the
red-shirted one seized an oar,
raised it high and swung it smart
ly at the other.
On that gesture a word broke
from Young's lips. One word:
"Girl I" No man ever swung
cudgel in that manner. -.
The man in the bow ducked,
threw out hand, caught the oar
as it Dashed the gunwale and, with
wrench, tore it free from the
girls grasp. He tossed it over
board. Then slowly, menacingly,
he went forward, raising foot to
step over the thwart before him.
He stopped, then, and threw out
his arms for balance against the
sharp list Of the boat. The girl

"Oh-ho" said Young sharply to
himself. "Tight fix, eh? Drop,

himself in the bottom. No time for

The canoe nosed silently into the

eyes sternly busy with the froth-

Fast and faster he moved, charg-

Strengthening his canoe out as he
gathered speed, setting 1t parallel
with the rip. He swung sharply to

FLAME In THE FOREST
by HAROLD TITUS
By Harold Irwin Myers wNu Service
SYNOPSIS

Kerry Young, lad of seven, is
prepared to flee the burning lumber
camp Of his benefactor, Jack Snow,
who took the youngster to live with
him at the death of Kerry's mother.
Tod West has instructed Kerry TO
come with file containing the camp 8
funds should it be endangered.
Flames attack the Office, and Kerry,
hugging the precious file. and 700
race to town. Tod acts queerly. At
the bank the file is found empty and
Kerry is blamed with taking the
wrong one. Snow, his headquarters
and money gone, is ruined.

Occasionally as he padded easily
with the current he would wink at
Tip, seated by the packs, and
throaty laughter would rumble up
from his chest.
"Chance he said at one Of
these times. 1.-THE part chance
plays in mans life!'
And at night, in his camp be-
meath the stars, he would lie awake
hour after hour. wondering, re-
membering, teasing himself with
the thought that finally, perhaps,
he was going to know.
Since rounding the bend far
above the murmur of racing waters
had been in his ears and, approach
ing the head of the rapid, he went
cautiously.
At the right was landing, with
signs of many portages on shingle
and trees.
Young was about to step into the
shadows and lead his canoe to
shore when a flash from below
caught his eye.
He lifted the glasses, leveled
them and went slowly rigid.
Two people on the bank at the
foot of that rapid were in failing
combat!
He could see a red shirt, its
wearer evidently having just leaped
into a boat beached there. Trying
escape, he was, but another gave
pursuit. A larger figure this, and
as he leaped into the boat he STUN
bled.
Again Kerry had that bright
CLINT of reflected light and saw that

clamped to the stern. . And nov

Tod. "Goin' clean to the Pacific

But from their window that eve

That night old Jack grew worse
The doctor came and gave him
some medicine, but he was rest
less, and frightened Kerry, the way
he would. sit up in bed and talk
wildly, and finally the boy, trying
to soothe him, crept close into the
arms and that seemed to bring
peace to the harried spirit.
After Jack was quiet, the boy
whispered:
ut amt so, what they're tellin',
Jack. / didn't take the wrong one,
unlest he told me wrong"
'Eh? What's that?" Jack asked.
He said it again and added:
s.When he told me, he put his hand
right on it; right on the one on
top tn safe md said your money
was in it md to come a-runnin'
when he yeowled fer me-"
Old Jack was very silent.
.'What else'd he do? After that,
Yhat'd he do?"
And the boy related, in detail
what Tod West had done y. how
he had gone down by the creek
and come back through the alders

him. And Of how he hadn't trieo
to save the buildings that were

''This," said the man across the
desk, sis the finest report on
timber property have ever read.
It's great! I'm asking you again:
won't you stick with us, Young?
There's a big opportunity with this
corporation for man of your
years and ability"
Kerry smiled slowly.
"Time to. move," he said In his
deep voice. "I've been on this one
lob since October. It's July, now.
Tip and I"-with a nod toward the
dog-"are little afraid Of taking

The other paused, started to
speak, hesitated and then asked
bluntly: ''Why, Young?"
Kerry laughed and answered as
one will who evades an issue.
II like to see country. ! like to

"There u.s." he said simply

now, and Kerry could hear the
light, quick breathing Of the girl.

and thickening, - "help the young
lady back into the boat"
West turned and looked silently
toward shore. Young, staring up
at him, felt an unreasonable loath-
ing for the man arise. Put the
blame for old Jacks ruin on him,
had he? And, perhaps, profted by
the tragedy himself?
He lifted one foot, f1icked 1t
across the gunwales and with
heave of his agile arms was stand
ing face to face with the older
man.
II take it the young lady doesn't
relish having you here at all. Why
don't you get out?"
The heavy jaw trembled ever so
slightly and a red flood swept into
the cool and calculating gray eyes.
II happened to see from back
yonder. I happened to see your lit
tie game of of tag. I'd say
your welcome aboard here was at
any time highly questionable. I'd
say that the least you could do
would be to get out now. You
forced her to dive once, and an
other swim shouldn't do GU
any =.
LET go, you'll"
Young's quick grip on Vests
arm, brought words heavy with
rage.
Il won't let go until you ="
The man was no weakling. Kerry
felt the tremendous strength in
those arm muscles, felt the vast
power in the stalwart legs and
broad back as West swept an arm
out to clip him into close embrace.
But he had the advantage Of bet
ter composure, of better stance and,
perhaps, of an older, ripper hatred.
He drove a knee against Vests
thigh, he half turned, grinding a
hip smartly into Vests groin. He
showed with both hands and, CIV
ing strangled roar Of anger, the
man went backward into the river.
A lovely girl was waiting in the
| chill waters Of the Mad Woman and
quickly Kerry stopped, taking her
hands in his.
| She came up, with light kick
of her small feet, the bunt of a
trim. breechclad knee against the
boat, and stood close to him, drain
ing water. For the space of a
slow breath he chung to her hands
and his eyes, smiling now because
of the things which churned in him,
things that, should he let them,
might stir too much rage and
modicum Of pain, plunged their
look deep into hers.
"There!" he said and laughed,
because there was nothing else to
do. with confusion and embarrass-
ment flooding such lovely face as
that.
She drew her hands down the
sleeves of the red shirt, stripping
water from the fine flannel. Her
! eyes went past him to the swim
ming West, making suddenly and
stoutly for shore, and in them
showed an anger, surprising in in
tensity for face so gently
moulded.
The man gained the shadows,
waded, dripping, to a beached canoe
and dragged it afloat with a savage
jerk. He stepped in, drove the pad
die against bottom stoutly enough
to spin the craft about and turned
on the girl such a look as Young
: had never seen on a mans face.
Cali right" he said chokingly and
nodded just once, sharply. "Al]
right Nan! For this you'll
be pauper!"
With no more, with only a quick
venomous glance at Kerry, he
turned down stream, padding
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1936-05-21

He lifted his gaze for fash Of a
look at the boat below. 1t was,
so far as he could tell, empty. Who
ever the girl was, she had been
followed overheard by the man.
And now again Young was pad
ding desperately, great arms
sweeping with the precision and
regularity of some device of stout
metal, power driven. Beyond, the
current was actually uptilted,
banked, so abrupt was the def1ec-
ton of those tons Of rushing water.
He must clear the rock to his left.
must turn in time to avoid that
which would then lie close to his
right.
The chute now sped down mid
stream and he padded stoutly to
gain even more speed He felt
himself dropping at break which
was all but a cascade, swore once,
sharply and stoutly as he was
sucked into a welter Of foam. A
Shiny nose of granite seemed to
reach through the lather for him
and he threw his weight to the left,
righted the frail craft just as water
boiled over the rail and, canoe side
ways, turning still further until he
progressed backward, he shot into
the placid pool which marked the
| foot nf tho rani6
1t was over his shoulder, then,
! that he saw the two. On one side
of the skiff was the girl, supporting
herself in the water by hands on
the gunwale; on the other was the
man, hatless, his face dark under
the sun.
They had not seen this approach
of a third.
The man braced himself, pulled
his weight sharply upward, hooked
elbows over the rail and threw up
foot to founder inboard.
1t was here that the girl, letting
go her hold with one hand as if for
the second time to attempt escape
by swimming, saw Kerry. He had
flash of a white face, lovely in
contour and feature, but now
4 stamped with heavy fear.
For an instant the gaze from his
blue. eyes locked with the girls
dark ones. Then he smiled. He
smiled and threw back his head
and let the smile run into laugh
"Good afternoon he said. "Is
the water fine?"
A bantering greeting, this, and
the words came through the last OF
his laughter. But banter went out
of his heart and mirth from his
countenance as he looked from the
girl to the man, rising to stand
in the fat-bottomed boat.
The man - hair touched with
gray, now; heavier by many
, hounds: his face lined and bit
full at the chin-the man was Toe
West!
e For a long moment they stared
, at one another. West breathed rap
