from the beginning, and what ne
did was only what nearly every
business man does every day."
Really, Sylvia" Selden said.
"You had better take care that
people don't hear you giving vent
to those sentiments. But if that is
so, there is, as they say in the
Prayer Book, no just cause or inn
pediment."
There is little more to relate of
the strange mystery that sur
rounded the murder Of Sir Henry
Severinge.
A police officer watched night
and day at the bedside Of Mrs.
Thornton, as she was still called,
but apart from incoherent ram
bling she was unable to make a
statement, and grew weaker both
in body and in mind. The shock
had been too much for her, and the
doctors found that she had for
years been drug addict, which
may partly have accounted for her
almost mad hatred of the Sever
inge twins.
She died in her sleep on the day
that James was released from ar
rest, the police Offering no evidence
against him.
He returned to the Abbey, and
quietly resumed his duties, but in
sisted on making over the whole
of the money he had inherited from
Sir Henry Sewerage to Jack, who
had been able with Selden's help
to establish his identity beyond
question. AS Selden said, it made
little difference, except for his own
satisfaction, as James was entire
ly convinced, and it was merely a
matter of transfer. Selden had
been compelled to return to Lon
don, but some few weeks later ar
rived at Evenden for a quiet we'd
ding at the village church, at
which he acted as best man, and
the twins had their wish gratified
by performing the duty Of brides
maids.
While Selden was waiting with
Escott for the bride to change her
dress they discussed the past.
LADY Sewerage agreed to let us
have the twins" Jack told him.
"She is now Mrs. Colindale, and
wants to forget the past alto
gether. They are going to Kenya
and have sent enough money to
start him OFF,"
'Then that disposes Of the whole
business" Selden said, taking up
his glass to wish his friend all the
best.
A smile crossed his face for a
moment. "Of course" he said
musingly, "there is that scoundrel
Reid, but I am afraid he is gone
forever and we shall never see him
again."
'He is quite dead and forgotten"
Escott said sadly, 'but what I can
do to repair his evil deeds shall be
DONE"
Sylvia appeared, radiant and
amazingly beautiful, accompanied
by the twins. They watched with
Selden the car disappearing down
the drive, while James stood by the
gateway with tears in his eyes. -.
Uncle Dick" Marian said, why
did Uncle Jack change his name?"
He turned to them with smile
the meaning Of which they could
not understand. Haven't you
read in your story books that when
prince comes to win a fair lady
he always assumes some disguise
and a funny name?"
els Uncle Jack a prince, then?"
They opened their blue eyes.
"Ask Auntie Sylvia when she
comes home"

CHAPTER 81

WHAT MADE HuckS and Mrs
Thornton act at last on that par
ticular night 2" Hutchins asked
Selden. In spite of himself he had
been getting interested in the story
as it unfolded itself.
"Can't you guess? It's only
speculation, but think they saw
our friend Reid and recognized the
likeness. Perhaps they thought he
had come down to find out the
truth for himself. At any rate,
that forced their hands, and they
acted"
"But the children?" Sylvia
asked, speaking for the first time.
EITHER they thought that the
children would inherit the money,
and determined to prevent that,
or it was sheer diabolical revenge.
But please finish, James"
E "There is little more to tell, sir"
James said sadly. my master
worried a great deal when his mar
Tiage turned out badly, and he
called it punishment for what he
had done.
eff he could have found the child
he would have made restitution.
He told me to do so, if could find
out anything after his death, for
he already felt that he was a
marked man, though he had no
idea from whom the blow was
coming. 1t was genuine remorse
as much as fear that made him
become a hermit in his own
house."
But what happened on the
night of the murder, that's what
e we want to know?" Hutchins said
briskly. He had no use for the
repentant baronet.
Nothing unusual occurred in
the evening, sir. came here as I
generally did to confer with Sir
Henry and sign documents. He
never wrote, as he had forged
Escott's signature in his own
handwriting, and there was no one
who knew any different, of course.
I wrote some letters, and signed
checks, and then went to my room,
locking the dividing doors. The
telephone bell rang, and came
here. He said he had seen a
ghost"
"a ghost!" Sylvia exclaimed.
Reds lips frightened at the
words; something of the truth was
dawning on him.
II went to his room, and found
him walking up and down in his
great agitation. 1t appeared that
he had been staring out of his bed
room window before getting into
bed and had looked across the lake.
Bright moonlight Illuminated the
opposite shore, and shone full on
the face of a man half hidden in
the bushes. Sir Henry declared
that it was the face Of Henry
Escott, just as he had seen him
over 20 years ago.
1.-THE face suddenly disappeared
he told me-and he was so
startled that he could not go to
bed. 1t had brought the whole of
the past back to him, and the
crime he had tried to live down by
stern discipline and repentance.
NO." James went on almost
fiercely, as Hutchins showed a
sneer of contempt. "It was genu-
inc, however much you call him a
hypocrite. Night after night he
went to the chapel and prayed
there. If he had thought that any
useful purpose would have been
served by confessing his crime, he
would have done it, I am certain of
that. But it would have brought
ruin on Graham and his own limo

College and A. A. U. Groups Settle 20 Year Dispute;
 Brundage Named

Washington, Nov. 18-(UP)-The American Olympic association today announced plans for full United States participation in the 1940 Tokyo Olympiad.
 Preliminary plans were made at the quadrennial meeting of the as- sociation, at which Avery Brundage was reelected president.
 Officers of the association said the meeting restored complete harmony" among affiliated groups which have been at odds for years.
 Complete cooperation and united effort toward 8 greater American team is assured" Daniel J. Ferris, representative of the NAAU on the executive committee, said.
 A dispute which had lasted for 20 years between the National Am- ateur Athletic Union and the Na- tional Collegiate Athletic associa- tion was settled.
 A compromise was reached whereby both will have equal rep resentation on boxing, fencing, swimming, wrestling, basketball, eight-oared rowing and track and field committees. Each will have six delegates. A thirteenth will be elect ed by two- thirds vote of each con- mittee.

JUNIOR LEAGUE MAY BE SET UP FOR YOUNGSTERS
Basketball Activity In= creasing in Catholic
 Schools of City

The l937-38 Parochial school league basketball season will offi- cially get underway on Wednesday afternoon December 1st. Plans for the coming campaign were outlined this morning in the park depart ment office in the city hall when the clergy of the various churches gathered with William J. Derwin of the park department, director of the league. The Catholic circuit will once again be sponsored by the park department. The makeup of the league has not been completed as yet as several of the schools were not represented. The following schools will be positively entered: SS. Peter & Paul, defending cham pions; St. Thomas, St. Joseph and St. Francis.
 Junior League
 The officials at the meeting also talked over the possibility of @ jun for Parochial league which would be limited to the youngsters of the sixth and seventh grades. During the past several years, interest has been running so high in the league that the squads were comprised of more than a dozen boys, many of whom did not get into the regular games. The Junior league idea would give these lads chance to play regularly and prepare them for the varsity" the following year.
 Aid Asked
 Desirous of having all churches represented in the basketball field, including Blessed Sacrament, St. Stanislaus and other parishes which have no Parochial schools, the mat ter of forming league of this kind is also under consideration.
 The complete lineup of teams in the Parochial circuits will be an- nounced in few days by William J. Derwin, director of the leagues who will also draw up schedules and appoint officials.

FITCH DECISIONS
 JOHNNY LASINSKI

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 18-(UP) George Fitch, lightning-fast local negro light heavyweight, pounded out 1O-round decision here last night over Johnny Lasinski, Meri- den, in a swift-moving bout.
 Fitch weighed 175, Lasinski 167.
 It marked the second victory for Fitch in three battles with the Mer- iden fighter.
 Tiger Roy Williams, Chicago negro light heavyweight, won on tech- nical knockout over Frankie Za- maris, Orange, N. J., in 10-round Semi-final.
 The bout between Fitch and Lasin- ski was nip and tuck al lthe way. The negro's splurge of punching in the ninth and 10th rounds piled u psuch a margin of points that the referee had no alternative but to award him the victory.

KEEP ON GRoWINGi

We in America have regarded educa-
ton pretty much as an individual oppor-
tunity. Russia, Italy, Germany have seized
upon it to mould youth to certain political
and social patterns
AS we have watched the Boy Scout
Movement in operation here and else
where, it occurs to us that here we have a.
truly national instrument of self-education
which is n-partisan-open to every race
and creed and class. 1t says we do not
care how you vote, but vote and honestly
we do not care what your party may be-,
but we urge you to love America and to
forget your merely selfish interest, in seek
ing what is good for America.
February is the birth month of Scout
ing in America. We greet the Scouts of
our community of our nation and of other
nations.
1t seems to us as we view the world
from our editorial windows, that this spirit
of Scouting which says to a boy ITO be a
good citizen you must care about others
this gets in very close to what its all
about in ~ the problems of ours,demo-
cracy and Of world relations. 's
1t is f. be regretted that the Boy
Scout Movement has been allowed to lag
in Key WSst where its operation could be
productive of SO much benefit to the Boy
Scouts as well as to the community as
whole.
The "Jamboree" Pilgrimage next
June of some $4,000 Scouts to the shrines
of our Democracy in Washington is full of
possibilities of good for America as
whole. Good citizenship rests on attitudes
and we believe the Scout "Good Turn has
the spirit of Democracy in it. More power
to you Scouts as you get this idea into the
lives of more of our boys!

cent, and clerical forces m some in
stances exceed twice the size OF the
employed factory groups.
The program Of the Russians Is 70
reduce these excessive employees
and to purge their plants of industrial
bureaucracy. They intend to exert
every effort In Office and shop to de-
velop. what before the recent sit-down
and stay-in strikes could truthfully
be called. "a highly improved Ameri-
can technique" The sound Soviet OBJ
jective is higher real wages for Rus
sian workmen.
In contrast. American labor appar-
emily approves the social loss Of half
billion dollars occasioned by the ship
ping strike. and an even greater sum
growing out Of the motor strike and
out of the attempts to settle difficult
ties in the steel and coal industries. II
this attitude continues. it will not be
many years before other countries
surpass the United States in produce
tive efficiency.
Certainly with conditions as they
are. it is not at all difficult to appre-
ciate that what is mis-named success
full unionism." depends upon mo-
nopoly practices. and upon full and
continued employment in other lines.
The latter would be necessary to in
sure uninterrupted support for strik-.
ers during their period of voluntary
idleness. Moreover. when labor de-
clares and prosecutes an industrial
war, 1t restrains interstate commerce
quite as effectively as any manufac-
turing combine could ever do.
In the face of such conditions, living
costs are bound to rise. And, if the
prices of goods rise faster than the
money incomes of consumers, public
buying will be retarded, and produce
ton and employment will be reduced.
Obviously, imitation is not the only
factor at the present time which can
bring higher prices and curtailed OPP
erations.
No one with any sense of fair play
and national pride can be wholly un-
sympathetic toward the aims and as
pirations of American labor, desiring
as it does to secure continually higher
living levels. But it is quite another
thing to excuse shortsighted pro-
grams when their results undermine
the chances Of all to enjoy a more
abundant life.
Curious it is. indeed. that as Russia
removes her industrial handicaps by
Initiating the best of American meth
DDS. we re-double our efforts to apply
the faulty principles. which she SO
wisely discards.
