Conrad Jordan went back to Ia
hoe to close his lodge for the win
ter. The man in the wheeled-chair
wrote to his travelling cousin:

could he accomplish by staying?
If Sarah Lynn is to be helpless,
what, after all, would they have in
common? 1t was, we must in JUS
tlce remember, a plant of hasty

"They are bringing her home
from the hospital in a few days.
Her mother has turned over her

Duncan Van Doren is pattern of

there, reading aloud, always on the

tie; the test comes later, when they
know whether she has a chance of
more than partial recovery"
The typewriter was silent while he
looked up at the pipe-rack above his
fireplace, done in painstaking pyrog-
raphy with unconvincing peoples
painted in, and below, in rather
wobbly letters, the verse:
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments
the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
The girl who had made that for
him, the golden-curled, violet-eyed,
mother-of-pearl maiden who had
sobbed that she would sit beside his
chair all the long days of her life,
had not been put to the test. If she
had not died-He wondered. It
was a fragrant memory.
Mrs. Edwin Dana's upstairs sit
ting-room had always been a place
of coy cheer, but now it fairly radi-
ated and exuded joyous serenity.
People came into the room with ris-
ing infections, stepping lightly on
the balls of their feet. They some
times paused outside the door to
arrange their smiles.
Miss Pennington sat there with
her sewing, and young Bill racketed
in on his return from school, and
her father and the older brothers
came for brisk and breezy chats
before or after their dinner.
Her mother and Duncan, one or
the other, were always there.
"Did you ever see such devo-
tion?" people asked, almost rever-

featured face would flush and his
eyes mist for a moment. There
was no possible doubt now as to the
depth of Duncan's devotion and it
gave him dignity; it actually made
him seem larger. A sudden and
excruciating toothache sent him to
the dentist one afternoon when Mrs.
Dana was doing sad duty at a flu
neral. "I'n call Penny to come and
sit with you," he said, hurrying
away.
The governess sat down and put
on her reading glasses. 81 don't
want to GO on with Mr.. Duncan's

Miss Pennington cleared her
throat. 'I've been reviewing my
Scandinavian history bit. Easel

protuberant eyes on the page. "The
Morse women were very advanced,
I was interested to discover, from
the earliest periods. Advanced, I
mean to say in the sense of their
position. Famous housewives UNI
derstood medicine in a crude way,
and had a fine position in society,
and were counted almost the equal

going to tell me about the traits of
the Norsemen, Penny? Well, it's not
necessary: I remember perfectly"
She began to recite in a toneless
sing-song: "The Norseman had a
keen mind; his heart was as much
steel as his sword; he loved battle
and the stormy seas; he admired
the strong, the brave; for the old
and feeble he had no interest; for
the suffering, no sympathy; the
weak he despised."
The old governess stood up. "Oh,
my dear! You mustn't"
Mustn't what, Penny? Mustn't
remember? Then, why did you
make me? Why did you make me-"
She was trembling and shaking, and
the calm and cheer of the pretty
room shattered into fragments.
Don't you want me to have any
peace?" The greyhound watched
her anxiously.
'Oh, my dearie dear! Yes! Yes!
But this isn't peace you have now.

there's no happiness ahead"
Happiness? Who's talking about
happiness? Peace, I said-peace-
the kind I used to have in the hos
pital when they gave me stuff to
kill the pain instead of killing me.
Then I learned to drug myself, and
you want to take that away, tool"
She was crying now, wildly, bitter
ly.
Miss Pennington put her arms
round her. "Hush, poor lamb!
Hush! You'll make yourself ill!
Dearie, I don't want to torture you

Greatest Internal Improvement"
But by the end of his term, Her
bert Hoover had drafted and won
Canadian acceptance of a waterway
treaty. He hailed the project as the
greatest internal improvement yet
undertaken on the North American
continent. Canadian officials had
good reason to sign it enthusiast
cally; the Hoover plan gave Cana
dian labor and materials much
more than proportionate share.
This helped win the senate's dis
favor, however, as did another stip-
ulation in the treaty forbidding Chi
cago from diverting Lake Michi-
gan's waters. Almost overnight had
arisen a rival plan to deepen the
Mississippi for Lakes-to-Gulf wa
terway, requiring water from Lake
Michigan. Both Illinois senators
voted against the treaty, which
failed by scant dozen votes.
For the past year and half Pres
ident Roosevelt has worked actively
to revive it, climaxing these efforts
with the new proposal drafted last
spring by Secretary Hull. In fair
ness to Herbert Hoover, it must be
admitted that his plan was no more
considerable of Canada than the
Roosevelt idea, which would allow
our northern neighbor to delay an
other II years in starting her part
of the construction. Canada would
also be given credit for the $128, 0O0,-
600 she has just spent on the We'll
land canal, in her half of the $780,

In this way the tremendous number

Studies reported by DR.. Wait in

ter subject men of the Territorial
army have been receiving instruc.
ton to be passed on to anti-aircraft
units, particularly in the use of the
Vickers predictor, an instrument
which has had great effect on the
accuracy of anti-aircraft fire.
Projectors have been successfully
tried in Spain, and though at present
they cannot be effectively trained
on an aircraft flying at more than
270 miles per hour, it is hoped that
the limit may be raised to $50 miles
per hour. One feature of the ap.
paratus is that the result of the cal
culation is transmitted to the gun

have to see the aircraft.

form the centers around which wa
ter vapor in the air collects and
condenses to form rain. These par
ticles, whose composition is still UNI

While such nuclei cannot be seen

indirect methods make them create

While these man-created nuclei do
have a part in becoming centers
for future raindrops their number is
smaller than the enormous amount
produced whenever anything is
burned. Home furnace fires, con-
centrated manufacturing areas like
steel mills and even the salt parti-
cles from the ocean itself all pro-
duce condensation-nuclei, points out

stefan. Surely no reliable doctor
would be guilty of intentional mis-
representation, and in all my ex-
perience have yet to see one who
would stOOp to making joke of
human misery. Your complaint
can be easily cured if given the
proper attention e. promptly.
o. N. F.: Does my wife care for
me any more? Will we ever live
together again?
Ans: It will take a great deal
of sane and careful discussion of
all conflicting issues to bring about
a reconciliation between you and
your wife. Although she loves you
still, she would not be willing to
consent to live with you again I'M
til an agreeable understanding
could be reached. Such an under
standing can be had, if you both
will work toward a common end,
and for your mutual good. You
will resume life together before
the expiration Of the next twelve
months.
x. Y. 2. No. l.: Will 1 ever again
see the boy whom I was supposed
to marry? Should I try to see him
or just wait a.. and hope?
Ans: The boy will come into
your life again at later date, but
not as a prospective mate. When
he makes his next entry into your
life it will be only as a very good
friend. You should not let your
thoughts dwell upon him in the
hopes of any possibility of mar
riage. When you next see him .
you will have other ''heart inter
ests."
Willing: My husband and / have
been separated for about one year.
Since then he has become associ-
ated with another woman. Will he
get divorce from me and marry
this woman?
Ans: Your husband apparently
thinks that divorce is not neces-
sary in order to permit him to sat
isfy his desire for variety. He will
not incur the trouble and expense
of a divorce unless such becomes
absolutely compulsory on his part.
To free yourself from this un-
desirable ENHANCEMENT, you should
get the divorce yourself. You have
just cause, as well as the legal
grounds for court action.

the notes out of the eyes of the
Germans
So long as America permits mob
injustice to Overrule the lawful
process of the courts, so long as
we permit public torture, what
right have we to rage at the tor
ture chambers, the Brown Houses
and the unspeakable cruelties
which Germany visits upon the
Jews? The Jews are in the minor
ity there. They can be kicked
around. The Negroes are in the
minority here, and in the South we
kick them around. We Jim crow
them as the Nazis Jim crow the
Jews. We deny them the full
privileges of our courts, keep them
OF of our juries, elbow them off
the sidewalk. We keep them in
their place, take their property
whenever the mob wants it. What
more do the. Nazis do in Germany
than the Americans do in Ameri-

How long is America going to
wait for a federal law that will

country which seals our lips in any

We Americans are holding meet

MY 1889 ASTRoLOGY READ
INGS ARE NOW READY.

J. M. F.: / am greatly worried
about my physical condition. Are
my fears well founded?
Ans: Though you have just
cause to be worried, your fears are
based upon remOrse rather than
facts. 1t is characteristic of all
humans to experience moments Of
regret after they have Over-stepped
the bounds of limitations imposed
upon them by society. Try to avoid
becoming involved in compromising
situations in the future. You can
not expect to escape so lightly
many times.
P. c.: Will it pay to have the
case tried in Court for the second
time?
Ans: If you are in possession of
facts pertaining to the case which
were not made known to the Court
during the first trial, it could pos
sibly benefit you to have the case
tried again. Due to the trouble and
expense attached to court pro-
cedure you should be reasonably
sure that the facts known to your
self are pertinent to the case, and
would influence the Court to rem
der a decision in your favor. Else
there is no excuse for another trial.
L. B. T.: have brother who is
away from home and in trouble.
Will he come out all right and how
much money will it take to free
him?
Ans: You must not become I'M
duly alarmed over the fate of your
brother. Certainly you are in no
position to spend a great deal of
money in his behalf. Neither is
this expense necessary. The court
will provide him with sufficient
legal representation. realize that
this advice must sound rather cold
and heartless to you, but wish to
assure you that you have my deep
est sympathy. He will come out
all right in due time.
L. L. H.: Is the man whom I
love sincere in his regard for me
or is he trying to ''pull the wool
over my eyes,? -.
Ans: The man DOES hold a
very sincere friendship for you, but
he is not yet willing to relinquish
all of his former friends for you
alone. Given the proper treatment
by you, he will in time turn only
to you for love and companiOnship.
However, l do not think that you
two will ever reach the state of
mind where you will wish to con-
slider marriage.
w. G. j.: Did the doctor tell me
the truth about the condition of my
breast? Will 1 be cured of this
complaint? w.
Ans: 1 cannot understand why
you feel compelled to doubt the
veracity of the Doctors word, or
the correctness of his diagnosis.
However, for your own satisfaction
you might consult another ply
