muCh-tOO MISREPRESENTATION as
to how President Roosevelt will
respond to the proclaimed desires
of the people for greater conserv-
atism. greater conStructiveness,
greater cooperation by Washing
ton.
CONGRESS- NEW MOOD
Business and industry will err
lamentably if they permit them,
selves to become unduly exercised
on this score. They should take it
for granted that the realigned
Congress will keep him reason
ably in his place. will refuse to
clothe him with increased powers,
will obey the public's demand
that the country be given oppor-
tunity to enjoy better times.
Above all, every man of affairs
should promptly put his shoulder
to the wheel and push prosperity
ahead.
The potentialities are Well-nigh
limitless. Much ground has to be
made up in almost every direc-
tion-in home building and other
construction; in filling pent-up
needs in the vast durable-goods
field; in undermining our rail
roads; in expanding public utility
plants, etc.
NEW CREDIT
Idle money is eager to be un-
leashed the moment sufficient con-
fidence returns. The Federal Re

ing institutions today have the
WhereWithal to grant new credit to
the astronomical total of S17.000,-

an ample supply of labor, as well
as facilities to supply an ampli-

tude of new machinery, tools, and
other equipment.
Even before Congress meets on
January 3, our induStrialistS and
others should have provided con-
vinCing evidences that they deeply
appreciate the public's favorable
attitude. Progress should mate
rialize almost Immediately and
should be steadily broadened.
First reflection of satisfaction
over Tuesdays impressive demon
stratiOn came from the stock mar
ket. Average quotations ended
the week at a new peak for the
year after notably animated pur-
chasing. A temporary reaction
would be in accordance with Wall
Street tradition and experience,
but it is generally believed that
sustained advance in meritoriouS
stocks will develop.
PACK AUTO SHOW
Last week also was the best"
in several respects outside of the
stock markets performance.
The attendance on the opening
day of the New York automobile
show was the largest since 1929.
Also, the volume Of orders is run

Railway car loadingS exceeded
those Of the corresponding week
last year for the first time.

MURPHY REBUKE
One phase of the election has
tremendously h ar en- e d en-
ployers. namely, the rebuke ad-
to candidates who
coddled Sit-doWn strikers and
their fiery leaders. Nothwith-
standing President Roosevelts
ardent backing of Michigans
Gov. Frank Murphy, this tolera-

last few days regard this incident

p ONO since, Naylor had come to understand
how he had erred: he had not realized i'll
- luck could last so long 1t had been just
to tide him over a freak run of losses, he had
thought, that he had borrowed from the Par
sees at usurious interest, but that had been
year ago and still he could not win.
To his unchastened pride. the thought that
he should write home that he'd borrowed on
his note-of-hand and failed to honor was ana
thema. but that the fact should reach his
colonel through the lips of native moneylenders
was yet greater shame.
Thus, sick with worry, hopelessly in debt, at
the age of twenty-five Lieutenant Martin
O'Moore Naylor faced major crisis.
His pay was due, but the sum was not enough
to mitigate the situation, so that night, more
to escape his thoughts than hopefully, he sat
down to poker.
The stakes were higher than was usual, set
by guest, lank American with long jaw
and lazy smile He was the Colonel's relative
by marriage, an oil geologist from Texas, home
ward bound from job in Turkestan
From the first, that night, to his incredulous
surprise, Naylor had luck. The other four were
in betting mood, the cards ran high, and as
the dark, slim subaltern raked in pot after pot.
his spirits rose If this luck held. he might win
the cash with which alone his usurers could be
stayed. Fired with new hope, he marshalled
all his wits to play hard poker.
Hotter and higher grew the game and still
his luck did not abate. At three am, the
sessions end at hand and Naylor jubilant
because he'd won almost enough, there occurred
monumental hand with five men betting first,
then three, till finally he and the Texan faced
each other for pot fat with their own and
other peoples money.
Since the draw Naylor had held his cards
packed in his fist, not looking at them. Now,
while the Texan pondered, he skinned" them
till he could read the corners; four queens and
the ten of hearts.
The Texan had drawn one, which meant he
had a full house or flush or fours m straight,
and certainly no bluff would have kept him
in so steep hand so long - and instinct

Naylor knew this. He'd shot the ridge before.
He said: The markhor CO.

NAY, nay, sahib. DO not waste your time"
Naylor gazed westward where he planned to
go. Ere long, the mountainside grew perpen-
dicular and merged in to the chasm wall to run
down in one gray uninterrupted face. In the
increasing light it spread. above, beyond, below,
great blank barrier above the southwark hills,
its feet lost far beneath him in the gray abyss.
He thought that it was like the point TO
which he'd brought his life, dead end. nothing
beyond. If he went home thered d be effacenent

accident while after markhor was the only
word that would reach England. None but the
Colonel and the four men of the poker game
could guess the truth, and for the sake of his
old grandsire who once led the regiment. they
would never speak it.
For the first time he experienced nostalgia.
His throat swelled and his eyes were wet He

kari implored: 'Sahib, do not try the cliff It's

worked along. the growths grew scarcer and
the rock more smooth.
Foot by strained foot he made his way until

grimly pondered this. Slowly in his mind took

perfect. If he started for the mountains now
and went all-out, he could be on the ground

1t was barely daybreak when he and the
shikar rolled from their sheepskins by the
ashes of the fire where they had biVouacked.
The Mongol drew his gaudy belt and scratched
himself while Naylor put on boots and puttees
and uncased his rifle.
Through the short night, though weary with
his motor drive and seven hours forced climb
up five thousand feet, he'd lain with eyes wide
open, staring at the stars All he could feel was
that sick knotting in his middle - sef-scorn
and wounded pride.

They had reached slope which, patched
with boulders and low mountain growths. ran
downward into thin pearl haze. Along the crest
of this Naylor led westward while, below, the
slope grew sleeper, till he halted close beneath
a mass of crags barring his path. This was the
spot whence started hunting of the Dera ridge
famous through India as feeding ground of that
great screwhorned goat, the markhor. Softly he
stalked downhill among the boulders and scrub
rhododendrons, while the eastern sky grew
paler and the light increased.

hissed, and Naylor made out, wraithlike in the
pearl-gray haze, the outlines of grand old he

As he pushed up the safety-catch and raised
his rifle, he contrived to kick stone so that it
clattered down the slope. Up went the bucks

dash for safety where these markhor always
found it - westward.
Old Surmoor faced him with surprised re-
