disapprove of Felicia. He regretted
the only one of his intentions that he
had not accomplished was to see Eus-
tace, and do what he could for him.
He had delayed his sailing home a
week to try to manage that, but had
gone to New MeXico-to learn that
Eustace was in New York. On reach
ing New York, he discovered that
Eustace had left for New Mexico a.
gain a day earlier. So he had sent
him letter the day he sailed with an
offer of an excellent place in a Van
couver company, and instructions as
to whom he should communicate with
So, with no damage to his pride, the
poor chap would have decent income.
AS Gilbert endured the days and
the evenings of that calm voyage
that seemed so long, there were hours
when he felt uncertainty, suspected
that to get through a summer away
from Denise, he had grown into the

on things than the facts justified.
The nearer he approached the English
coast, the more that uncertainty in
creased, as with time for contempla-
tion which the summer had not af-
forded, he began to remember precise
ly sufficient instances of her discon-
tent.
At Southampton there was no sight
of her, and he was bitterly disappoint-
ed. She had not come, and she had
sent no message! AS they were fin
ishing examining his luggage at the
customs, he was hesitating as to
whether to telephone the house in
Sussex, to hire a car to drive there,
or to go up to London on the boat
train and telephone from there to
demand an explanation. He began to
be angry; but he was, to a greater ex-
tent alarmed! He had better tele-
phone at once.
A cool voice behind him said: "Ah,
there you are, Gilbert! I didn't quite
get here in time"
He turned. Felicia! She'd recover
ed good part of her looks.
"Where is Denise"
She smiled vaguely. ooh, we'll and
happy. She decided she'd rather
meet you at home, so I drove over.
All the way by myself! I've a road
ster here. Can you sort out what
luggage you want Immediately"
He was furious, but his old distrust
in her was sharply aroused. It was
better to ask no questions and to try
to discover whatever it was that she
was so obviously concealing, by let
ting her talk.
Felicia seemed altogether disinclin-
ed for conversation. She drove at a
terrific pace, and, he had to admit
superbly. The miles slid behind them.
When they stopped for luncheon she
asked him trivial questions about his
summer, and volunteered him no in

lit evenings, Felicia walked proudly,
her red-gold head high as ever. She
would not hurry him, not now or ever.
He must put an end to this comedie
trois, in his own fashion. But if
he chose not? Asking herself that,
she sometimes shivered in the warm
sunshine.
On his first evening with them, they
had some minutes alone in the garden
after dinner.
Keith said: "Well, Felicia, will you
divorce Eustace and marry me?"
The same question he had asked in

Virginia in the springtime. Had his
voice sounded more eager then? She
could not remember. All the things
that happened since intervened be-
tween her and remembrance.
Probably, Keith. Let's talk of it
again, when we've got used to each
others company-after so long with

Biographical By-Lines?

The scholarly Rev. Homer Wilbur of
James Russell Lowell's famous "Bielow
Papers" is the author of a suggestion
that would revolutionize by-lines in
Journalism and embarrass a lot of re-
porters If 1t were currently in vogue.
For 1t was his observation that a long
list of degrees and learned societies an
pended to the name of a writer whetted
the appetite of the public for the writing,
Milton and Shakespeare, he thought.
would have been much more appreciated
In their day had their works not been
published with little but the bare name
to identify the author.
Parson Wilbur's reasoning preliminary
to handing down a long list of his own
academic and literary credentials to his
readers in the "Biglow Papers," was that
the sight Of an imposing list of honors
inspired confidence in the writer on the
part OF the reader. The implication
seemed to be that the excellence and
veracity of the writer increased in direct
proportion to the number of oreaniza-
tions Of which he was a member and
degrees which he possessed.
Such criteria would be certain to en-
barrass some Of the leading writer's of
today even If not Parson Wilbur and his
talented creator.

No Time for War.

The bitterness that has been injected
into the railroad wage-cutting negotia-
tions bodies no good for an amicable
adjustment.
For years, employer-employe relation
ship in this industry has been a model
IN harmony, but with H. A. Enochs, of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, spokesman
Tor the carriers, assailing the brother
hoods for "befouling your own nest" and
A. F. Whitney, head of the powerful
trainmen's union, retorting that the rail-
roads are "stalling" and would withdraw
the reduction proposal If they could save
face, indications are rather definite that
the era Of good will is on the wane.
A saving factor in the situation Is
that no matter how far apart the two
sides may be, they will adhere scrupu-
lously to the mediation machinery set up
under Federal law, and that is a guaran-
tee against untoward action until every
peaceful method of settlement has been
given chance to be effective.
In the meantime, the responsible leaders
OF both management and workers would
do well to consider the inescapable truth
that the grave problems of the railroads
are not going to be solved by recrimina-
tions. If ever there was a time in the
history OF the industry that calmness
and good judgment were called for, that
time is now and there must be some
middle ground upon which reasonable
men can meet.

Others say they prefer the dashing
on slate.
The chief thing is the liking.
II one Admtres, the rest is easy.
Maybe life would be easy. or, at least,
easier than 1t Is for many, II they would
somehow acquire the habit Of admira-
ton.
To admire q few things is easy; to
admire many, vastly more difhcult; to
admire all, as some have done, Is to be
one Of Gods elect.
Liking rain Is easy, an admiration
open to the non-gardener as well as to
the gardener, provided one has the will.
the necessary thing is to keep the
famous open mind, which may or may
not open gates, but surely the one lead
ing to the garden.
Ask the most important ingredient in
home gardening, and receive this an
answer:
The open mind"
The answer is not more and longer
work, more fertilizer, more spraying,
more insecticides and fungicides, but
more open mindedness.
He who has an open mind, in his gar
den, will greet the wild rabbits, If not
exactly with open arms, at least with
discrimination.
He will xbsolve them at once Of cut
ting OIL his rose bushes at the ground,
for rabbits do not operate 50.
He will look around for other cul-
prits, at the same time he will forgive
the bunnies for eating few choice pc
tunias and the like.
The open-minded gardener will see
that the best flower Of his garden is
tolerance, not that latest product of the
horticulturists skill Of which he was
50 proud.
If you are able to listen to the rain at
night with real satisfaction
If you can see the greening of the
grass before 1t green's
If the music of falling water is real
music, and the harmony of lush growth
real harmony to you-
If the rabbit and the squirrel and the
pigeon and the English sparrow are as
real and interesting to you as the dog,
the cardinal, the wood thrush
II the memory of past rains, Of sea-
shore. mountain and farm Of long ago
