II promise you that this is a
temporary arrangement for one
night only. But this evening you
must be in before dark, and look
the place UP carefully, Reid-you
can't be too careful. And on no
account go out, whatever you
her" He walked to the window
and looked at the lowering sky.
/ "Ils going TO rain; if you want a
walk 1 should have it now. Per-
haps the children could get their
things on"
Sylvia could sense that some
thing was happening of which she
and Reid had no knowledge.
Every word Sof the seemingly SIM
pie conversation had a hidden
meaning.
II would like to go to the viii
lage. I want to buy a few small
things. Is that permissible ?" She
spoke to try to draw the detective,
expecting a refusal.
Il was about to suggest the
same thing myself, and will come
with you if I may"
Sylvia bit her lip. This was far
too subtle for her liking, but she
took the children upstairs to get
their mackintoshes on, and for a
brief moment the two men were
alone.
"Selden, what the devil does all
this mean?" Reid said Grossly.
ut means very likely life or
DEATH" Selden's face was very
grave. "Please follow my instruc-
tons to the letter. And one thing
more, Jack, I didn't want to fright
en- the children-the bloodhounds
may be loose tonight. If so, don't
go out on your life"
"Why can't you stop with us?"
THAT would ruin everything, but
shan't be far away"
The children came back, their
thin white faces looking elfin in
the large capes turned up over
their heads. q
Selden did his best to dispel the
gloom that had settled on them all
by recounting the arrest of James
in his OVID. way, and his manner
treasured Reid and Sylvia that he
was certain that Hutchins had
made big blunder.
"How could he possibly believe
vindictive, lying woman like that
Mrs. Thornton?" Sylvia remarked
with unusual passion.
Hes had his eye on poor
James," Selden chuckled, land I'm
not sure he doesn't suspect Reid as
iwell, but he had no evidence"
"They won't do anything to
James, will they?" the twins asked
anxiously.
Nothing that will hurt him, but
the amusing thing is that if he
does happen to come before the
magistrates tomorrow the chair
man will be Colonel Graham"
He seemed to find humor in ths
thought.

for which the proper remedy has
been applied and we have not re-
covered on schedule. But deep
down in our hearts we still think
we ought to have recovered
promptly, and if the doctor had
tried just a slightly different form
Of treatment all would have worked
out according to schedule. And
everyone knows a patient or two
who goes shopping around from
doctor to doctor looking for ex-
actly the treatment that is going
to work, cussing all the doctors
out as he leaves them, for igno-
ramuses because they have not
found the right thing.
That such ideas are not confined
to the laity is Indicated by the ap-
pearance of a book for the pro-
fession called, THE Art of Treat
ment", which has exactly that
point of view for it's theme.
No Single Cure
In the vast majority of in
stances there is no such thing as a
single method of cure. The plan
ming of treatment is not only the
highest duty of the physician, but
requires the most intelligent
analysis of the case. In 90 cases
out of hundred, simply to order
a drug, or diet, or a diathermy
treatment, or an operation is a
real breach Of faith, because treat
ment is much larger than that.

and then spoke. We'll, think
they are old enough to share our
councils. 1t is no use trying to
hide things from them now
The children seated themselves
on each side of Reid on the couch,
as though about to listen to some
exciting fairy tale.

First, Lady Sewerage decided to
go off, as her nerves have broken

Sylvia looked up with q lock Of
disapproval. but Joan solemnly
said, 81 know; they are going to

but they might have asked us. We
wanted to be bridesmaids"
"Cold-blooded little rufTians,"
Selden said with a smile that took
the sting from the words.
James has been arrested for
the murder of Sir Henry"
Reid started at the quiet unemo-
tional way in which the detective
made the statement.
"You didn't arrest him." he re-
marked in a puzzled voice.
"You need not be alarmed
Hutchins did so, and it is the best
thing that could have happened"

"Not before tomorrow, and to-
morrow is some way Off"
There was. an undertone of GER
tainty and a sort of eXhilaration
about the detectives manner that
convinced Reid that he knew that
a crisis was approaching, and that
he was confident as to the result.
"The servants have all gone, and
I have locked up the Abbey-here
is the key" He held it up.
Anything more?" Reid asked
sarcastically. "You haven't by
any chance locked up the muir
derer in the Abbey?"
"But what are we to do now ?"
Sylvia asked, quite bewildered by
these revelations.
"You are at liberty to go out
for a walk if you like-in fact, I
advise it. I have told Hutchins on
the phone that you have turned
up-just that. He is so busy with
James, and taking down state
ments from Mrs. Thornton, that he
hardly appreciated what I said.
told him Miss Lawrence and the
children have been found and are
quite safe, and he merely said,

"He didn't seem to care whether
we had been murdered or not"
Joan exclaimed Indignantly.

rooms" Marian chimed in. But Sell

WHO'S DICTATING NOW :?

Probably the most misplaced charge in the present controversy arising the Presidents recommenda- tOn to step up judiciary system is that of dictator being hurled against the Chief Executive. Actually, every knows that the President can do virtually nothing without the support of Congress- But it must be noted that after Mr. Roosevelt and the Congress have approved, the majority of five men on the Supreme Court, bench of nine toss the whole proposal into the waste basket and say to the American people, you cant do that. We do not think it is wise"
 Who then in fact, dictates to the nation what it shall do :?
 It makes no difference how honest how sincere nor how learned the who make up our highest tr- bunal but why should any five individuals be in posi- ton to defeat the purposes of Congress and the president who are the chosen representatives of the people and responsible to the people for their acts? Four of the equally capable men the Supreme bench can dissent from the majority opinion, but what does it avail? Simply about three lines in dispatch that Jus tices and turned in the minority opinion The ma- jority verdict must prevail.
 And there are intelligent and women hurling the charge dictator at the President who can't even ap- point postmaster without the approval of the Senate
 President Roosevelt on two occasions has been elect ed by those voters. The President and most of the Congressional delegations have been reelected re- veang clearly that the policies they attempted to carry out met with the favor of majority of the people,
 Yet anything they attemptt to do can be set aside by five-four vote of the Supreme Court.
 Small wonder that in one part of his address the other evening, the President said:
 The wage earner, the farmer, the small business man will not wait for economic freedom like they did for emancipation 40 years ago. they will not wait four years; they will not wait at all.'
 In other words, it is high time that more than five men agreed on how to interpret the Constitution

Skill Needed TO Keep Peace.
Economic measures should be as
clear out of the field OF politics as
should our international relations.
Nobody knows where conditions that
exist in Europe and in Asia may lead
the world. Nobody knows how the
possible eventualities Of these situa-
tions may hit our own peace and COM
fort. Nations engaged in desperate
wars are seldom scrupulous in their
observance of the rights of neutrals.
Naturally, our Government must avoid
involvement in these struggles. Peace
in a var-minded world is not some
thing that can be attained automati-
cally. 1t requires skill and patience
and untiring watchfulness. 1t implies
preparedness, for in the fury of war
it is only the nation that the COM
batants know is capable of resisting
that is immune from aggression.
What am trying to convey is that
there is an appalling responsibility in
government beyond the mere levying
of taxes and maintaining law and order
among ourselves. And the only means
know Of keeping government on its
toes so that it will exercise all its func-
tions for the benefit of all our people is

wonder. Furthermore, how these
people figure out that in world
almost wholly disturbed they should
somehow be permitted here to pro-
ceed in the manner of the old regime
where they enjoyed a ducal immunity
from the economic problems of the
people generally. Now. mind you, l
am talking of men who think they
are good citizens, who regard them
selves as the bulwark of national pros
perity. 1t is difficult to get them to
realize that the United States is today
the happiest country in the world No
threat of Socialism. Communism, or
dictatorship hangs over them. They
are free to make what investments
they please, or TO make no invest
ments. The banks to which they
entrust their money are safeguarded
and bulwarked by more precautionary
measures than the financial institu-
tions anywhere else in the world.
1t would seem that men so situated
would be at pains to instill confidence
instead of disseminating fear. If they
think some of the taxes are too high.
or some of the tax measures too dras-
tic, the way is open to them to put
their case before Congress. They
ought to know that no Congress will
ingly imposes greater taxes than the
necessity of the country demands.
Under the legislation that has been put
on the books in the last five years
their businesses have climbed up from
the dismal swamp of depression to a
dividend-paying eminence If any one
of them would for moment contrast
the present position of his enterprises
with what they were before those
measures were put on the statute
books, I would think that he would
feel deeply grateful for those enact
ments rather than highly resentful.

are perhaps more acutely conscious of
what is involved than any other group
In the United States. They are re-
sponsible to their constituents and
they know that unless the performance
of their duties is satisfactory to their

Perhaps the fault lies less with these
trembling capitalists than with the
amateur economists enlisted in the
anti-New Deal campaign.

What people ought to understand is
that such questions as are involved in
the Wages and Hours Bill and in farm
legislation, for example. have really
no place in partisan politics. 1 be-
lieve I am safe in asserting that IL
Franklin D. Roosevelt had been re-

Office for his own advantage. it is
largely the fault of these people who
conceive themselves too busy to be m
terested in their own government. ex-
cept when that government adopts
policy that they deem hurtful to their
particular interest or withholds a privi-
lege that they have previously en-
joyed.
Majority Must Rule.
Nowadays you do not hear that boast
so often. That is a good thing. for a
government cannot be better than the
mass of the people who are governed.
No administration can be successful
unless it represents the will and works
for the welfare of the majority. No
government can endure that disregards
the rights of either majority or minor
ity. for the day of reckoning must al
ways come when the people themselves
decide whether their governors have
been faithful stewards of the Nations
welfare.

gentlemen who have 4 mistaken idea

that view the present course of our
opposition. If it objects to the Demo-
cratic policy it ought to have a policy
of its own 10 offer as an alternative.
1t ought to have leadership in which
its members could have confidence.
1t ought TO have program. and IL
ought to have courage to announce
that program. 1t can get nowhere BY
fuming at fly specks on the fabric OF
the administration of public affairs.
Intelligent criticism must be the
province of minority party If that

1t is incumbent upon IL to propose at
