gretfully. He wasn't invited. There's
just an even number in the wedding
party and if Cecily took Jerry it
would upset everything. And Jerry
said she was ashamed to take him

''It isn't being a good sport to

CHAPTER XII

Jim flung his arm over the side
of the chair in unconscious protest
at being reused from sleep. The
knocking was repeated. He made
an effort to struggle up to the sur
face of consciousness through the
gray tide that dragged at his senses.
A voice was calling urgently, lit
tie hoarsely.
"Who is it?" Jim answered, not
yet fully awake.
Words came to him which, for a
moment, had no meaning or impor-
lance. "Smash-up side-road-
hurry!" Jim shifted his position in
the chair. His hand struck glass
on the table beside him, knocked it
to the floor. The sharp thin sound
of breaking glass brought him to
full consciousness. He sat erect,
blinking in the subdued light of the
shaded lamp on the table.
What had reused him? He'd
thought he had heard someone call
ing, banging at the door. Dream
ing, probably. He must have gone
TO sleep Whlle ne was reaulng. "A
magazine lay where it had fallen on
the floor at the side of the chair.
What time was it? He glanced at
his watch. Only a little past mid
night. He couldn't have slept long.
Strange how real that dream had
seemed. Was it dream? He pulled
himself up from the chair, crossed
the room, opened the door.
No one was there. Puzzled, not
yet convinced of the reality of the
voice which had called, Jim walked
out into the drive. The night air,
cool and crisp, blew away the last
blurring cobwebs of sleep. Some
one had knocked at the door.
Someone, man, had called.

The wistful expression was APP

to the movies and discarded the
idea.

Thoughts of the exciting day
ahead consoled her for the pros
pect of a lonely evening. Susan
went off contentedly.
Jim completed the address, re-
inforced the parcel with wrappings
of Irvine. At intervals he glanced,
through vines, toward the fountain.
Jeremy's attitude was respondent,
a tableau arranged for Cecily's
eyes, perhaps. Jim smiled a little
grinly. eff you're contemplating
suicide, my lad," he said under his
breath, "that pool won't do. You'd
only bump your nose"
He felt surprisingly cheerful. He
whistled as he walked around the
house, taking the package to his
car. Cecily came out on the side
veranda, dressed for the party, in
something thin and dark that fioated
as she walked, a short evening

snugly at her waist.

the grass.

~ comfort from the yodelled prom
ises of that happy optimist, Chair
man Harrison of the senate finance
committee, that the government
will be able to get by for 1887 with
out asking this congress to boost
taxes, what happens?
Why, in a most annoying way,
Governor Eccles of the federal re-
serve board keeps proclaiming that,
to make treasury receipts come
anywhere near meeting treasury
disbursements throughout the year.
he's afraid it's going to be neces-
sary to raise the rates on incomes
and profits higher than ever.
And meanwhile state governors
and civic authorities scream with
agony at the bare prospect of any
reductions in Uncle Sans allot-
ments for local projects.
A balanced budget would seem to
be like Santa Claus, something
everybody talks about but nobody
ever expects to see.
differentiation.
FORMERLY the states jealousy
Il guarded their sovereign per-
quisites. Once-but that was so
long ago many have almost forgot
ten it-they fought among them
selves one of the bloodiest civil wars
in history over the issue OF states
rights.
Now we see them complacently
surrendering to federal bureaus
those ancient privileges-and may
be, after all, that's the proper thing
to do, if in centralized authority lies
the hope of preserving republican
form of government.
Still, one wonders what English
men would do under like circum-
stances, since Englishmen are fussy
about their inheritance of self-de-
termination. Perhaps the distinc-
ton is this:
In democracies there exists the
false theory that all men are born
free and equal. So the Englishman
insists on having his freedom, which
is a concrete thing, and laughs at
the idea of equality. Whereas, the
American abandons his individual
freedom provided he may cling to
the fetish of equality.
Yankee tweedledee and British
tweedledum may be brothers under
the skin, but they have different
skin diseases.
The Parole Racket.
TT IS astonishing but seemingly
true that, of five young gang
sters recently caught red-handed in
a criminal operation, not single
one was a convict out on parole. Is
there no way to bar rank amateurs
from a profession calling for prior
experience and proper background?
And can it be that the various pa
role boards over the union are not
turning loose qualified practitioners
fast enough to keep up with the de-
mand? Maybe we need self-open-
ing jails.
Those sentimentalists who abhor
the idea that chronic offender be
required to serve out his latest sem
tence should take steps right away
to correct this thing before it goes
too far. Our parole system must
be indicated if it costs the lives
and property of ten times as many
innocent citizens as at present.

I woke up suddenly and saw

was past midnight. and I was
scared being alone in the room. I
hoped out of bed and ran into
the hall.
Janice was sitting on the couch,
her hands folded in her lap. She
was sitting up straight and proud.
The room was dim, because only
one bulb in the floor lamp was lit.

my head in her lap. and she
stroked my hair. Every time we
heard a car outside we listened.
She would turn her eyes to the
window, and I would raise my
head and listen, too. I dozed off.
I thought I heard a rapping on
the window and woke up. Janice
had risen. and she was adjusting
my head on a couch pillow. I sat

his territory around our town
since he met my sister.
The first thing we know folks
in town are talking as how jan

John and he's not coming back
after his next trip.
When he returned, he hap
pened to see Janice in the street
and he waved to her, but she
passed him right by, making be.

lickety-split right down to the
house, ringin' the front door bell
and explainin' to Janice that he'd
been in New York tryin' to talk to
his boss about giving him a bet
ter territory. Janice said she be-
lieved him, why shouldn't she?
John looked at her and walked
out in huff. Then Janice cried
out and ran to the window.

that being we had no father it was

At this point they discovered
me and sent me out Of the room.
