That casual speech had not prepar-
ed Eustace for the type of horses
which arrived, in shockingly bad con-
dition from the journey through the
heat, at the railroad station forty
miles from the ranch. They were
Eastern thoroughbred racing stock,
and anyone who'd ever ridden in the
desert country would know they were
no earthly use there. Where his en-
ployer had picked them up, he won
dered, though he guessed the blood
lines of several of them we'll enough.
He supposed some owner of a small
string had a streak of bad luck and
had to sell them.
Eustace spent the happiest week
since April, taking the best care of
them he could; and he fell in love
with a big black gelding who had only
impressed him casually the day he ar
rived with the others.
Carefully, in the very early morn
ing, in the late evening when it grew
cool, he tried the horse out. 1t was
shame, in way, to use him for a
saddle horse, but worse shame, once
he felt his speed, to let him sweat in
a stall.
He wired his employer on the eve
of his sailing: "How do you want the
horses trained?" and received the in
credible answer: Broken in for my
friends to ride"
Eustace grinned, for the first time
in months. He doubted very much if
this example of the newest kind of
money had any friends who could sit
the worst lof the string, two minutes.
But he had his instructions.
When he was little boy, he had
had a horse named Dark Lad, his
first horse. He named this horse for
that one.
No pedigrees had arrived with any
of the string, and so no names. 1t
was all absurd enough. He had never
owned better horse than this Dark
Lad. He did not dare risk it's legs
on desert riding, but he found a path
that was fairly smooth, leading from
the ranch to a cluster of barren hills
on the deserts edge. He rode Dark
Lad back and forth that path daily.
The ride was the single bit of his
day that was comforting. For the
rest, he held brief conversation with
the cheerful cowboys who made up
his staff, and thought about Felicia,
waited for a message from Felicia
that never came.
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise., 1938-07-29

yes" Eustace Dayne said. 1--WE
always known. I've never had any
doubts at ALL"
Keith drew a sudden long breath.
Probably that quiet figure had always
known. There lay his strength and
his weakness, because he would never
be able to substitute.
"If you came to get assurances, for
Felicia's sake, Pm glad to give them" !"
Eyes, assurances" Eustace repeat
ed. cts harder than l thought, to
have to ask"
Keith thought: "I'd like to tell him
the whole truth-that his wife and I
were never lovers. But certainly he
would not believe me. 1t was for
Felicia to convince him of that, if
she chose. Clearly she did not choose,
else he would not be here"
"You do mean to take care of herr"
eff she wants me to-" Keith said
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise., 1938-07-29

He had told his employer that it
would be necessary for him to make
short trip East that summer, and
had been told: "Get things organized,
and then go when you want"
He had wanted to sort out the stor-
ed furnishings, of his and Felicia's
home, so that he could keep for her
whatever he thought she might want,
and sell whatever else was clearly his.
For he had some small debts that
worried him. Throughout his mar
riage, he had left Felicia spend all
he had, but he had always paid his
bills.
Besides. he meant to see Keith Shell
die. He had decided to see Keith,
long before he started West. But at
that time he had learned that Keith
was not sufficiently convalescent to
see anyone. By now, he probably
would be.
With the most careful instructions
to his foreman as to the care of Dark
Lad, he started East.
On the plane, he thought over and
over what he meant to say to Keith,
while young actress returning from
Hollywood in the seat opposite flung
admiring glances at his healthy blond
ness, and he never saw her at all.
Keith said to him, "How are you?"
and thought: "He doesn't look we'll
He is haggard, for all his tan."
Eustace said: "Sorry to intrude.' u
"Not at all"
Keith sat in a long chair facing
the garden. Eustace stood facing
him.
"I've come about Felicia"
II supposed so"
"It's an odd visit. There've been
so many hours when I've wished you
dead" That, he had not planned to
say. But confronting him whom she
wanted,-she who had not wanted
himself,-he was desolate. There
Sheldie sat, in his dark slenderness,
looking mock as-as Felicia looked
sometimes.
He steadied himself. And in Keith
Sheldie stirred a kind of reluctant ad-
miration for the iron composure OF
that tall figure.
Eustace went on: "But my wishes
concerning you are fairly irrelevant
Since Felicia happens to prefer you
to me, that's that. All I must know
to guide my own conduct, is that
you intend to see her through"
"And if I did not?"
Eustace drawled: 81 think should
kill you"
Keith stood up, limping little. 81

excusable, except on the grounds OF
curiosity. Naturally, Pm seeing hel

"Do you have to be sent for?"
"Ycs, under the circumstances.
can't well force myself on Mr.. anc
Mrs. Rendale, or on Mr.. and Mrs
Windon-or on Felicia herself"
Eustace nodded, but not as if al
that were important. "You mean to
marry Felicia?"
The agony that question cost him
he could not quite conceal.
Keith answered simply: eyes, il
she'll have me-"
"Do you know what you want, Shell
die ?"
That was a surprising question:
"Whyp
81 thought you were devoted to Fe-
licia's sister, not very long ago."
"Do most people know what they
want?"
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise., 1938-07-29

again. "As to that, Pm not as con-
WINGED as you seem to be-" Then he
wished he had not added that, for it
was most dreadful to see the sudden
hope flash in those steady eyes.
"If l wasn't convinced, I'd hold on,
STILL" AS if that admission was
wrung from him.

REPRISAIS ON MEXICO
WASTE MONEY ON SILVER
lMalI- SirettL LIInnInall

If the decision of the Administration 10 dis
continue purchases OF Mexican silver could be
Interpreted as change OF policy concerning
the metal itself It would be received with three
rousing cheers, small as Is the amount OF the
metal involved. Unfortunately It cannot De SO
interpreted. for it IS merely measure of re-
prisa for the action o. our nearest good neigh
bor9 to the South in cXpropriating the oil proper
ties owned by citizens in that country.
It IS no doubt, ineonYenent for Mexico,
which instead of having comfortable and
stable market for silver at her doors. will have
10 use the London market for such silver as
she elects to sell. But We shall presumably con-
tinue TO purchase the metal in the vain attempt
to accomplish the three-tO-one ratio objective
for which objective not single valid reason
has ever been. or can be now addueed Every
penny of the peoples money that has been thus
far spent for the. mountain of silver bullion
now Testing in the Treasurys vaults has been as
effectively wasted as if It had been dumped
money that shall in the future spend for
the same purpose.
The bitterest and least reasonable of all the
New Deal critics would have 10 admit that the
silver purchase operation Of our Government
enjoys an indisputable preemnence among them
from every point Of view. as having had its
origin in pure "practicaIa politics. as having
destroyed the last vestiges of silver currencies
remaining in the world. as having caused
severe commercial crisis in the the principal
using country. and as costing the people of the
United States huge sum Of money.
From the point of view of merely artistic
performance It must be considered no small
achievement to have produced piece of legis-
laton completely devoid of all merit, either as
to the end enVisaged or the means adopted to
reach it.

WORLDS A LONG WAY
FROM FUNDAMENTALS

There was a picture in the paper the
other day of line of lifeless bodies
children's bodies-awaiting burial They
We're killed in aerial bombardment of
a Spanish town. They did not know why
they faced death at the hands Of fellow
men, and now-if they live after death
in some all-seeing heaven-they probably
still do not know.
Neither does anybody else.
The fundamentals that brilcS happi-
ness are so simple, and yet so far from
the world of today. Chief among these
fundamentals is peace. Yet there are
men who think they cannot be happy
without power. and in their drive for
power they bring unhappiness to half
the world. How much easier would it
be for power over their fellow beings.
The happiest men in the world are
those who go contentedly on their way,
quietly performing their daily tasks,
content to let somebody else have the
power as long as they, themselves, have
happiness. They are the ones we should
envy-not the men who sit in the seats
of the mighty and pronounce judgment
on the lives of thousands.
If the leaders Of Japan's government
did not seek power to extend their en-
pire, if the rulers of divided Spain did
not vie for power to rule as they think
Spain should be ruled. if the dictators
of Germany did not dream of greater
and even greater power, the world would
be at peace today
If it were not for mans insane urge
to tell his next door neighbor how he
would live, we should not be building
a bigger navy and greater army. We
should not be paying taxes to make our
armed forces supreme. We should be
at peace-and happy.

The Securities and Exchange
Commission has Just dropped
charges against n New York pub
lie accountant accused OF misrep-
resenting himself as an SEC officer
"a charge which. if proved. would
have disqualified him from prac-
tice before the commission EYi-
dence was largely based on a con-
ference between the accountant and
two corporation officials. SEC
found the charges not substantiated.
The record shows that most OF
the Biltmore conference of Oct. II
took place in the bar. and that
each of the persons present had
two or three alcoholic drinks the
SEC found solemnly. This cir
cumstance does not inspire great
confidence in the memory OF The
witnesses as to exactly what was
said on that OCCASION
In contrast To most SEC pro
ceedings, the trial was fairly live
ly. An SEC lawyer. prosecuting
the charges, offered evidence as
to the accountants "braggadocio. '
All you're charging him with. -
said Commissioner Jerome Frank
from the dais, is super-egotism
You wouldn't disbar a lawyer for
that, would you? You might deci-
mate the BARI
And the bench?' suggested the
SEC lawyer.
Later Frank suggested that the
accountant might have been mis-
understood.
Haven't you ever been misun-
derStood?' he asked the attorney.
I'm married" was the reply.
