CHAPTER XVI
THROUGH the next weeks after
L Reuben had gone Cynthia was
much alone in and about the house.
She would often stand by the we'll
in the evening, the days visibly
growing longer, watching the shad-
ow of the Pinnacle glide up the
hillside and finally rest it's finger on
the fresh graves Of Spared and Ju-
liza, sweeping them into the eternal
quiet of the dust. In a year. One
procession of the seasons, spring
to spring. From the garden behind
the picket fence, from the steam
mill, to the profound silence of
Cranesnest Shelf. AS the days
passed with their thought of Reu-
ben and the life ahead, the inality
of the procession began to seem
supportable to her, so much grief
tempering the heart to the sorrow
inherent in a precarious life. The
way lay onward and not back and
was filled with a degree Of hope
bravely disproportioned to the de-
feat of yesterday
The mountain laurel against the
sun-Warmed' rocks. of the Pinnacle
would be flushing pink at the bud
hearts,, and the birds would be well
coming, the return of another
spring. She would go there now to
meet them and weave Reuben and
her vision of life with him into the
memory Of that place where she
had through the years communed
with herself.
In the afternoon she went out
through the barnyard, down into
the just perceptible green mist in
the orchard, across the creek, STEP
ping through the low sound of the
water playing among the rocks in
the bed, and then the sharp climb
up the steep contours of the path.
1t was good to feel again the mus
Gle pull in her calves and thighs,
the thump of her heart, the sweet
intake of fresh breath, to see the
valley begin to spread and drop
away, to hear the cattle, the sheep,
the chickens, recede below her. Step
by climbing step she mounted up
ward out of the events that had
assaulted the Wolfpen Hollows in
a year. She felt her soul growing
calmer, released from the sharp
clutch of ever repeated broodings:
Shellenberger, numbering, Julia,
Spared, the place; the place, Spar
REL numbering, Abral, Julia; Reu-
ben and the vision of him taking
possession of her.
At the Pinnacle she passed her
hand over her forehead, lifting her
head, breathing mountain air into
her mouth, feeling exalted by the
triumph of glad animal life over the
depression of spirit. She wandered
around the rock lodges of the Pin
nacle, peeping down the abrupt
emptiness to the creek and mill be-
low, examining the miracle Of col
umbine extracting sustenance from
a break in the rock, musing on the
timeless heavy Hopping of crows
wings, the effortless sailing on the
wind up and down over Wolfpen
and Cannon. There were cardinals
in the boughs of the pine tree on
the edge of the precipice. She sat
on the ledge with her feet resting
on the last shelf and looked across
the valley, yielding to her unword-
ed thoughts.

Japan, too, fights against Bolshe-
vism." That, of course, is a subter-
fuge; what Japan wants, is domino
ton of China.
On the face of it, it is, of course,
ridiculous that one nation should
war against another just to protect
it against an alleged political menace;
each country has right to whatever
political professions it may make, and
if China ever should desire "Bolshe-
vism," it could not, by any twist of
a feverish imagination, become the
business of any other country. It
would be, in this case, China's own
affair.
But Japan looks at that situation
from different viewpoint and has
set out to prove that the only way
in which to establish international
friendship-for that is the constant
Tokyo claim!-is to beat your neigh
Dor into submission so that he will
embrace you gleefully.
Fate of Marking.
Just to prove her friendship, Japan
took from China the rich province
of Manchuria five years ago; during
the last five months she has taken
five more Chinese provinces-with a
total population of IS million-has
conquered Shanghai, and early this
week took Marking, the capital of
China. Alexander the Great, awed
by the triumphs of his father, Philip
of Macedonia, wondered if there were
any more worlds to conquer. Japan
is in a similar position. She does
not know where to turn next. She
has taken a good deal more than she
had intended to take, and now is not
quite certain where to 60.
There is a possibility that other
nations may make up her mind, for
Japan herself has been provocative;
a few days ago she increased the
fury of the western powers by hav-
ing her artillery shell, in some cases
sink, British and American boats,
and London and Washington simply
don't like that. They may even do
something about it. But even that
is not yet certain. They did moth
ing to enforce the treaty which
guaranteed China's existence-the
treaty which the British and the
American governments themselves
had solemnly signed. 1t is a diff
ferent matter when Japan steps on
British and American toes, but it is
not likely that there will be more
than a momentarily angry "ouch!''
resulting from that.
But the incidents which Japan has
created may, in some indirect way,
result in diplomatic persuasion aimed
at greater moderation in the future.
Whether Japan will be susceptible to
such influences-that is still an open
question.
That western powers will step in
to save China is, despite their guar
antee, practically unthinkable. But
that they may make move-a care

obstruct the progress of Italian arms
into Africa, and yet, that same
League was tactless and heartless
enough not to offer amends! 1t was
too much for Mussolini. Now he
had been brooding over this for a
couple of years, and he couldn't
stand the chagrin any more. Some
thing had to happen, and he let it
happen: Goodbye to the League!
That goodbye did not mean so
very much, but it did serve to re-
mind the world that Italy is allying
herself more and more with the die
tatorial group which considers its
world mission lighting communism. :"
Coming Events--"
During the last year or so Italy
has been moving ever closer to Ger
many; Mussolini's recent visit with
Hitler in Munich and Berlin paved
the way for deep understandings,
and progress was made when Italy
was persuaded-probably by Hitler
to sign the German-Japenese treaty
of friendship which really is an agree
ment to fight what is mysteriously
known as "BolsheviSm." The use
of that Russian word which, incident
ally, means majority" is pretext,
for into it dictators pour their per-
sonal conceptions of all sorts of demo-
cratic or liberal political ideals. It
isn't merely communism-no, it is
liberalism, socialism, radicalism, de-
mocracy, in short, everything that
deviates from the principle that the
power over the peoples belongs to a
self-chosen few.
Just before Mussolini made his
rainy speech in Rome, he had received
as his guest Milan Stoyadinovich,
premier of Jugo-Slavia, whom he
had tried to convince that adherence
to the "anti-Bolshevism" bloc would
save the world. With what effect
these assurances were given is not
known, but Immediately after receiv-
ing them, Stoyadinovich returned to
Belgrade where he officially greeted
Yvon Delbos, the foreign minister
of France. The question now was:
Should Jugo-Slavia continue her
friendship for France, or should she,
with Italy, Germany and Japan, join
that other front? Whatever Monsieur
Delbos may have answered is not
known, but his arrival at Belgrade
caused lot of street demonstration
for and against France.
Asiatic Complications.
No one at this moment actually be-
lieves that Italy and Germany would
take up arms for the sake of their
treaty friend, the empire of Japan.
There are economic reasons against
that possibility, and they are rather
positive But there is, in interna-
tional affairs, such a thing as moral
support, and that is not lacking in
Rome and Berlin, for those two cap
itals have quite openly assented to
Japan's never declared war against
China.

International
News Review
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

There was a great deal of excite
ment in Rome the other day, for it
was known that Prime Minister
Benito Mussolini was about to make
what he considered an important de-
cision, and although the purport of
it was known in advance, excitement
ran high, and hundred thousand
persons gathered in front of the PalaZ-
20 Venezia, defying heavy down.
pour of rain.
In modern Italy they do things
in a jiffy; that very day the so-called
parliament had been called together
for the purpose of approving request
from the government for an appropri-
alton of some ten million dollars for
the increased defense of the Mediter-
ranean"; it took twenty minutes to
dispose of that little affair, and dis
pose of it-favorably. Then the grand
council of the fascist government
was summoned for a business ses-
sion; that required exactly seven
minutes, and at the end of that brief
time Signor Mussolini appeared on
the balcony of the "PalazZo" and
announced to the damp multitude that
the council-that is, MuSsolini!-had
decided that Italy withdraw from the
League of Nations.
Background.
Judging from the advance pub
licity given this stunt, Mussolini must
have considered it most important
event-one that would startle the
world. But the world, Injured to
shocks of many kind, did not work
itself into any frenzy on this ac-
count. For, in the first place, it was
known beforehand what was coming;
in the second place, the decision and
the announcement formed merely the
official confirmation of what has been
developing for long time, namely,
Italy's total lack of interest in League
doings Mussolini reminded his audi
ence of the fact that he had not
forgotten that the League a couple
of years ago voted economic sane
tons against Italy because of its war
of aggression against Ethiopia; he
spoke, deeply moved, about the ire
mendous patience % with which his
government had borne the strain, and
he regretted the Leagues complete
unwillingness to apologize for hav-
ing exposed him to tigation-such
as it was. No, now it could not be
tolerated any longer! Just think
of it! That same League of Nations
had in writing and action protested
against Italy conquering a peace
full African country-a nation as in
dependent, and as supposedly pro-
tected by the League covenant, as
Italy herself-and had even tried to

National Horse ShouD IT. NeD York, NoDember B

New York, Sept. 24.-Demand for boxes having exceeded the capacity, the National Horse Show aSsocia- tion is now accepting applications of patron memberships, which in- clude side arena seats for the sea- son of the show to be held from November 3rd through the 10th at Madison Square Garden.
 A patron membership, which is $100, not only carries with it the two side arena seats for each per- formance, matinee and evening, during the shows eight days, but also makes the holder a member of the Tap and Tack club which is being inaugurated this year by of- f1cialS of the show.
 The club will occupy several rooms on the 50th street side of the gar- den and will be open only to mem berS and their guests.
 The decision of the horse show officials to provide season member ships was made following the exten- sion of the show by an extra day, which was necessary because SO many people were unable to secure seats last year. Those who become patron members will receive the same two chioce seats for all per- formances this year.
 If this plan proves popular, it is entirely possible that the associa- ton will continue to offer patron memberships enabling those who be- come members this year to hold the same seats in succeeding years.
 The demand for boxes and pop luarity of the patron membership is evidence that attendance at the approaching Sand show will be the largest in the nationals long his- tory and that the first night, re- garded as the formal opening of the winter social season in town, will be one of the most brilliant in many years.
 Applications for patron member ships are now being received by Whitney Stone, secretary of the na- tion horse show at 90 Broad street, New York city.
 Among those who have taken boxes for the horse show are: J. Spencer Weed, John Hay Whitney, Jansen Moves, Robert Schey, H. Ed ward Manville, William du Pont, Whitney Stone, John A. Hartford, w. G. Wrightson, Joseph P. Day, Mrs. Hugh Barclay, J. c. Traphagen, Mrs. Haskel Busk, Amory B. Me- lay, Paul Moore, Mrs. David Wag- staff. Luther L. Blake, John R. Todd, J. Macy WilletS, M. w. Faitoute, w.
