the second Inauguration of PreSl.

1t was a day of contrast. with
drabness and color, depression ard
excitement, laughter and tears
mingling to make it day to be
long remembered.

In the reviewing stands there
were rows and rows Of vacant
seats. Persons who had erected
private stands with the eXpecta-
ton of big financial return faced
a loss instead. as those who
braved the storm preferred to
stand along the curb rather than
sit on the drenched seats.
But even so, the day was not
lacking in color There was the
dipnity and brilliance Of the
inauguration itself, with the Pres
ident again taking the oath OF
office on the historic Dutch Bible
of the Roosevelt family. which he
used four years ago when first
inaugurated.
Then came his spectacular
drive back to the White House,
using an open car, and sitting
bare-headed, waving to the people
who stood and cheered. BY his
side, also Drawing the storm, sat
Mrs. Roosevelt.
Hosts at Luncheon
Before going to the Capitol, the
President and his family. the Vice
President and Mrs. Garner, and
the Cabinet went to st. Johns
Church, the historic Church Of
the Presidents" to ask the bless
ing Of God.
Following the inauguration, there
was a buffet luncheon at the White
House, with the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt entertaining some 700
distinguished guests.
Then came the inaugural pa
rade, a brilliant spectacle that
made thousands Of persons forget
the discomfort Of chill and rain.
They had stood in line, some Of

The rest were military outfits,
and the real thrill of the day was
the marching Of the regiment Of
midshipmen from Annapolis and
the corps of cadets from West
Point.
During the two hours of the pa
rade the President stood in his
reviewing stand in the replica of

at his face. for he had issued or

removed, declaring he would take

He responded to the salutes Of

was given a tremendous ovation.
After the parade there was still
no rest for the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt. They returned to the
White House and entertained some
1000 guests at tea.

ger to scream again, or to burst into
tears, he was much disappointed, for
that strange young woman merely
drew back step, allowing the me-
chanic's head to fall the remaining
inch or so to the floor.
"Dear me-" she comented with a
smile, "you win after all, how very
careless he was" Then she raised
her eyes to Struthers standing tall
and ready, his red hair flaming like
bronze beacon in the sunset light.
"My congratulations" she continued
in even, sardonic accent. "You're a
brave, if foolish man, to risk being
shot,"
Struthers uttered a short laugh and
stopped to retrieve the dropped auto
matte. "Thank you-but Pm not such
a brave fool as you imagine" he said
shortly. "Carnforth was idiot enough
not to throw off the safety catch on
his gun. I was running very little
risk that he'd remember in time-you
really should pick your servants more
carefully"
For a moment the two stood in the
low ceilinged cabin looking at each
other across the fallen body of the me-
chanic, and Struthers with increasing
misgivings, read in those large dark
eyes the presence of will not less
determined than his own. Quite OBJ
viously Mistress Lincoln was far from
used to being thwarted.
There was stir at his feet, then
Carnforth opened his eyes, sat up daz-
eddy rubbing his jaw.
"Sorry I hit you so hard" stated
Struthers, "but I had to. Now if
you'll attend to little formality we'll
take a look about and see what's
what"
"Formality?" Both Carnforth and
the girl eyed the dominating figure
whose tall shape cast a prolonged
black shadow across the cockpit.
"The little matter Of that money"
Up went the Lincoln girls head in
an unmistakable gesture of defiance
and Struthers wondered what she
would do next.
"Don't bother about that money,
Mr.. Carnforth," she said, "keep that
as payment for your little effort in my
behalf. Incidentally there will be
twice that much if we start for Ha-
vana, tonight" she added.
Struthers would have given much
to have unburdened his wrath at her
selfishness. What this lovely creature
needed was some real shock to read
just her sense of values. 81 might
point out" he suggested, "that your
money will undoubtedly remain yours.
If any of us ever get to Havana, I
imagine we'll be thankful enough for
that fact. I suggest, Miss Lincoln,
that you look out of that window"

realized he stood in grave danger OF
his life, and SO did Liette Lincoln.
"No-no!" she Don't .
But Carnforth was clearly determined
he brushed her back and stepped
forward.
"Listen, you," he snapped. "You're
going to do what say or I'll drill
you. Pm poor guy and 1 can't af-
ford to pass up no eight thousand
bucks"
Struthers was amazed to see the
change that had come over the usual
ly bland-faced mechanics features
His lips had writhed back, disclosing
an uneven row of discolered teeth and
his pale eyes held an unmistakable
threat as his forefinger curled over
the trigger.

not?" demanded Carnforth. How big
he looked thought Struthers-"Get q
move on can fly this crate myself
you know that. I don't have to
have you here"
Struthers in no way mistook the
earnestness of the others purpose. He
realized he stood in very grave dan
ger and his mind CROPPED desperately
for key to the situation. Above all
he knew he must act promptly.
"All right" he said and was as
founded to detect an expression of as
constituent in the girls eyes. She
seemed now even more contemptuous
OF him than previously. For all the
leveled automatic, he knew he held the
real advantage. Carnforth was afraid
of him. Only that gun in his hands
gave him any assurance at all.
Obediently, he turned aside as
though to close the bronze fuel valve;
then, moving with rapidity rare in
so large man, he whirled and aimed
terrific blow at the mechanics head.
Quick as he was, he was not fast
enough, for Carnforth had time to
whip up the blue-black automatic in
line with Struthers' eyes. He pulled
the trigger, but though Liette Lincoln
screamed piercingly, nothing happen
ed-only the flat smack of the pilots
fist crashing into Carnforth's jaw re-
sounded. The mechanic reeled heav-
lily backward amid a rain of viciously
driven punches, fell with wide flung
arms and collapsed on the flying
boats floor, his tumbled yellow hair
covering the Lincoln girls black suede
shoes.

Haughtily she obeyed, and cast a
long wide-eyed glance out Of the port.
AS he watched her, Struthers found
it characteristic of her that she be-

features and her hand shook ever so
slightly as she turned to face him.

watch him. Anyway, there he was,
with a wonderful basket of scented
loveliness, tempting the home
ward-going throng on Saturday
afternoon.
"Violets, violets, lovely violets.
Quarter bunch. Lovely violets."
Like an unending song, his husky
voice cried his wares, and during
the ten minutes that stood near
him on the pavement, watching
and listening, he kept up his cry.
Unable to resist the temptation,
I bought bunch, and even as he
served me, he punctuated the deal
with: "Violets, all fresh and love-

I remarked, as I waited for my

"Keep a-goin'." What a motto!
It reminded me of a little jingle
that is oft quoted by a rolling
stone friend of mine, who brought
it back from the West of Canada,
where he first heard it. It goes like
this:
If it rains n if it SHOWS,
If it's calm or if it blows,

So keep a-goin'.

In addition to having the por-

that the central design should be
a reproduction of the painting
''The Last Meeting by Julio,

manders parting just before the

jackson received the wound
which later proved fatal. This

when he realized that he couldn't t
beat the winner, he set his mind
on being in the first three, and got
there.
A Motto for Many.
Keep a-goin' is a motto not only
for rolling stones and athletes and
Wholesalers. It is a motto for
housewives who are faced with a
firing washing-day, for families
who are faced with no very bril-
liant outlook for the future, for
those who are apt to lie down un-
der the weight of present troubles.
Nothing stands still. Things eli
ther get better or worse, and they
are far more likely to get better
if we persist in our efforts to
make them so.
Take heart. This year, England
is to crown a new king. This
year, too, we may crown some
individual ambition with fulfil
ment. We can do it, know, if we
