AL SMITH GETS
REVENGE ON I'd.

ALBANY, N. Y, July 81 G.N.S0
Alfred E. Smith has settled an old
political score with Franklin D.
Roosevelt.
Seven years ago, when Mr..
Roosevelt was serving as COVER
nor, he advocated a constitutional
amendment requiring the legisla-
ture, over an 11-year period, to
appropriate $2O,0O0,0Oo for re-
foreStation.
Former governor Smith cam
paigned against the amendment,
which was carried by a narrow
margin.
The 1888 constitutional conven-
ton, to which Smith is a delegate,
has started on the road to final
passage an amendment striking
out the reforestation appropriation
requirement.
When the measure was being adj
vanced last night, Smith recalled
the 1881 fight and that, through
the amendment successfully advo-
Gated by Roosevelt, only one ap-
preparation was made by the legis-
lature totaling 100000.
There is an old saying" he
commented, that truth crushed
to earth will rise again."

Interviewed First Time
Since He Defied President
Cardenos of Mexico
and he does not intend to offer
battle to the superior Federal
forces, which have in addition the
advantage of heavy artillery and
military planes.
Instead, General Cedillo ex-
planned in an exclusive interview
in his mountain hideout that he
intends to wage guerrilla warfare,
just as Villa did, escaping capture
by an expeditionary force sent
into Mexico by the United States
under the command of General
Pershing.
EXPECTS REVOLT
General Cadillo believes that as
he carries on his war the people
of Mexico will flock to his stand
ard and overthrow the govern
ment Of President LaZaro Car
denas.
Known as "the strong man" OF
the state Of San Luis Potosi for
the last % years. General Cedillo
was once close friend and
political ally of President Car
denaS.
It was the support of Cedillo
that sent Cardenas into the Presi'
dents chair, and in appreciation
he named Cedillo minister OF
agriculture in his cabinet.
DENIES OIL CHARGES
Cedillo charged, however, that
Cardenas was attempting to set
up a Soviet form of government
and had betrayed the people.
Cedillo then returned to his noun
tain state and declared its indie
pendence from Mexico, setting up
his own government.
Cedillo issued a formal denial Of
charges made by CardenaS that
he is in the pay of oil companies
whose property was seized several
months ago by order of Cardenas.
The leader of the revolt insists
his only motive is to save the gov
eminent of his nation from the
menace of communism, and that
he and his followers are prepared
to fight to the death to do this.

IT like little boys" Barbara
smiled. whats his name ?"
Robert Kerns. He belongs to
somebody in the theater. can't
recall just whom at the moment"
The art director went away, and
the telephone rang in few min
utes. Even before she answered
Barbara knew it was going to be
Garry. Yet, she reflected, that
was foolish. So many other times
she had thought it was going to
be Garry and it wasn't.
Barbara, what happened to
you last night 2" asked Garry. "I
searched the theater for YOU"
ooh, Garry, how dreadful! But
the postofce made a mistake and
carried the tickets down East
Ninth street. They just came"
Garry's voice was serious as he
answered. you thought had for
gotten you'll" He seemed to be &C
cusing her of doubling him. why
didn't you call me-"
"You had so much On your mind
its all right. Garry, 1 read the
reviews on the subway. The crit
les are generous with praise, and
I'm so proud for you" Not proud
of you; proud for you.
He talked for a minute before
he said: 'Would you like seats
tonight, or tomorrow night? I'll
send them"
Tomorrow night would be
lovely, Garry"
When she hung up, Barbara sat
at her desk in the warm Office for
a moment, suddenly cold and
frightened. It made it worse be-
cause Garry had sent the tickets
after all and had telephoned. If
he hadn't, she would have had
anger to shield her and protect
her. Now even that defense was
down. Garry had not failed her.
He merely loved somebody else and
he couldn't help it.
She was glad when the art di-
rector brought the child who was
to be photographed. The little boy
had large brown eyes and brown
hair that had a cowlick, and a
dimple in his chin. His face was
too pale and his eyes were sad,
almost frightened.
"But who picked him out for a
cover?" Barbara asked herself.
1--WE want happy children! We
need faces that show Joy and ex-
element" A wave of sympathy
for the little boy banished the
worry. No child had a right to be
depressed. Somebody was at fault.
Impulsively, she held out her hand
and smiled. "Take off your coat,
Robert! I'm trying to arrange a
puzzle for next month and I'm no
earthly good at puzzles. Are you :?
Oh, would you help?"
The art director stuck his head
in at the door half an hour later
and nodded his head approvingly.
When Barbara stepped to the
opening, he said: Good work.
Keep him at it, and I'll come back.
You're making him human"
The child's eyes were bright and
eager now, as he fitted the simple
jagg-saw pieces together.
Gee, this is fun" he said sud-
denly, as though he had not known
that anything could be. 'I-Pm
hungry" That, too, was sur
prise.
Barbara nodded gravely. $50

CHAPTER %


BARBARA did not >gO to the
party that Ruth gave for Garry
and his friends. AS consequence
she did not feel so susceptible to
hurt when she dressed the next
morning. Steel had entered her
soul. Her red lips were sterner
than she realized. Her eyes had
darkened until the gray was near
ly black this morning. She would
not be hurt again, she told herself.
Once was enough.
Then she slipped the pages of
her story into her briefcase and
walked resolutely down the stairs
as though she went to battle in
stead of to a desk in a gay room
adorned with colored portraits, all
of which had been illustrations in
the magazine.
More as habit than because
she expected mail today, Barbara
fitted her key into her box and
opened it. There was one enve-
lope. She recognized the writing.
That bold, forceful scrawl! She
had seen it first on a note in Mar
tinsville, and she had seen it on
post cards with a British post
mark. Her heart lost it's balance
in spite of the unrelenting attitude
that had carried her down the
steps. Had Garry remembered his
mistake and was he atoning, when
it was too late?
Her fingers trembled as she
opened the envelope. Two tickets
tumbled out. "I'll be watching for
you," Garry had written across a
card.
So he had not failed her! The
seats were for the previous night.
Yet the mystery remained that
other people had received their
tickets in time, and she had not.
She studied the envelope. One
address had been crossed out-oh,
now she understood! It wasn't the
address that was checked, only
the direction. The envelope had
beeen delivered to the same num-
Der on East Ninth, a scrubbed
memo said. A day had been lost!
One could lose so many days from
the calendar and never miss them.
Yet it was. yesterday, of all the
Mondays and Tuesdays and
Wednesdays, that had been mis-
laid.
The art director dropped down
in a chair in Barbara's Office about
the middle of the morning.
Free for half an hour about two
o'clock 2" he asked. I'm going to
need you"
'T'm not busy at all today.
What's up?"

CHAPTER "a

THE ART work ended swiftly,
and Wenda took young Robert
Kerns away. The afternoon was
nearly gone. Barbara closed her
desk, took her hat and coat with
her to the dressing room, and care
fully made up her lips and busted
powder over her nose. She would
go to a newsreel and lose herself
in military maneuvers, target
practice, winter sports or what
ever else the news dictators were
showing the public today.
AS she stepped through the
outer door, q long roadster was
swinging away from the curb. She
recognized it as Garry's, and she
caught glimpse of him with
Wenda and Robert Kerns. Was
she never to get away from his
shadow? Once she had thought
that she would watch for his face,
his smile, his laughter. Now she
knew that she was afraid only
that she would see them. It would
be better if they could walk on
separate streets.
Maybe she would not go to his
play. Curiosity won, though.
She called Ray Upton to ask if
he would like to go with her.
Barbara had told Ray that she
would meet him at the theater.
She had refused to have dinner
with him preceding the play.
Somehow, three hours of anyone
was all she could endure tonight.
Yet, when she met Ray, she was
SO relieved and pleased because
he was with her, that she was
