Mother"
For once, the Duke didn't grin.
"She didn't care what 1t cost" he
said, but there was no humor In that
comment. He was picturing a hur-
ried, heart-hungry woman, slipping
furtively up to the wireless room. and
handing In this message herself, SO
that no steward should unwittingly be-
tray her. The first word she had been
able to smuggle to the boy In years
ITS been killing your mother" the
Judge had said.
The Duke touched q button, and

Barry thought any harder
than he did during that short ride.
What could he say that would make
his mother still happier, and yet mean
nothing If the message fell into the
hands Of that hard, old man?
In all probability. his father knew

Thursdays dinner started off ON the
wrong foot.
The Duke wore his new f1annels and
his old gray coat. 1t was not a warm
evening, but he had nothing else to
wear. His fathers apparel was much
too tight.
He could see Patricia taking him In.
She was lovely in cherry-colored crepe
de chine, and the Judge immaculate
In black tie and dinner jacket. "You
said we could fight things out on the
tennis court" the Duke apologized,
land I'm afraid that stuck In my mind.
The truth Is my luggage hasn't turned
up, and l had to wear anything

the Judge laughed. III you and Pat

what would happen II we agreed

"Td be wrong, Miss Hambidge; I'd

The retort was no more his own
than the shirt on his back, but he
was rewarded for 1t by an apprecia-
tive flash In the girls eyes.
But they couldn't agree.

Japanese Priests Prepare for War
Drill Daily
for Day When
War Will Come

With bayonets belted to their
priestly robes and rifles over their
shoulders, the clean shaver young
priests Of the Sodo sect of the
Buddists engage in military drill on
the grounds of their temple in ia
pan. A military officer from the
nearest garrison comes to drill them
every morning.
Japan's successes in Manchukuo
and the general belief that sooner
or later war will come has aroused
the peoples military spirit, and the
war party seems to be in full con-
troll
The latest disturbing news from
that quarter is that Japan is taking
advantage of the escape clause of
the London pact to increase her
strength in submarines. This can
be done only when one of the sig
natories Of the pact considers It's
national defense in jeopardy Secre-
tary Swanson has declared Japan's
action is q clear violation of the
agreement. No official action has
yet been taken by the State depart
ment.
