odd how he keeps on that one sub
ject. You wouldn't know why, I
suppose ?"
She was looking at the paper as
she spoke and Lona's heart jumped.
The nurses eye was travelling down
toward that picture and it's story.
In another moment she would see
it. Would she grasp the signifi-
canoe?
There's something I'd like YOU
and the doctor to do for me-" Iona
burst out, desperately, and the
nurse raised her eyes from the pa
per, struck by her altered tone.
cts about this-this delirium OF
Jim'S. You see, Jim is rather-sen-I
sitive. He'd hate to have anyone
know he was out of his head. He
thinks it's sort of "a disgrace,
somehow. I'm wondering if you'll,
keep everybody away from him
until he's normal again. Just you
and the doctor and myself, of,
course. He'd hate for anybody else,
to know" She broke off, con-
scious that her explanation was
lame.
But the nurse smiled indulgently.
"You mustn't worry about that,
Mrs. Bennett" she soothed. ."Of
course we're keeping everybody
out. We've even shooed you away
when you'd stand for it." she
laughed. Z;
Jim would particularly hate for
the men at the bridge to know he's
raving," Iona stumbled on. "There
is Mr.. Martin, the engineer, who
comes to see him. You mustn't let
him in"
''Why, my dear, of course he
won't get in. Are-are you sure
you're not a little feverish your
self? You mustn't let this get you
down. Well take care of Jim. You
mustn't worry so much. You're like
a fond grandmother :" She,
laughed again, and patted Lona's
shoulder.
We've only been married a few
weeks" Iona blurted out then. "I
guess I'm not used to-having
things happen"
"Why, you're only a bride. How
thrilling! No wonder you're fussy."
The woman put her arm about
Lona's shoulders and turned her
back down the corridor toward
Jim's room.
you'll have to get used to acci-
dents if you're married to a man
who insists upon working on
bridges" she bantered, and Iona
managed weak smile.
TITS just hearing him rave that
sort of-gets me-" she managed to
observe, and tried to hide the
shrinking that came over her as
they approached Jim's door, and
the hoarse murmur of his voice
sounded from inside. M
'Ihe net! The nett" he was
crying as they entered, and Lona's
heart went sick within her. She

RADIO river at Wetmore. Colo.

rado river at Wetmore, Colo.
"a safety net was developed at
that time by James Rankin, the
assistant engineer in charge Of the
bridge. The net was given much
publicity in the trade journals, and
a test was arranged with the rep
resentative of a large manufacture
ing company present. One of the
bridge workers, a friend of Ran
kin's, volunteered to jump from the
top span while Rankin manipulated
the net. The force Of the jump sent
the experimenter through the net
and into the water below. Because
of the entangling meshes, it was
impossible to reach him and he
drowned.
Rankin, who claimed his inven-
ton had been tampered with, dis
appeared after making a state
ment to that effect. Upon examina-
ton it was found the net had been
purposely weakened. Further in
vestigation uncovered friction be-
tween the victim and Rankin over
ownership of the pending patent.
For his part in the much publicized
experiment, the victim had de-
manded a share of future royalties,
an arrangement to which the in
ventor objected.
subsequently suit against
Rankin was entered by the dead
mans heirs, but the patent on the
net, which was granted to Rankin
shortly following his disappear
ance, was never taken up, and the
suit was dropped. Rankin, wanted
for questioning, never has been
traced, and evidence pointing to his
deliberate tampering with his own
invention never has been aired in
court"
Iona stood for a long moment
staring down at the paper when
she had finished reading. Then, al
most furtively, she folded the sheet
with the tell-tale article hidden
from view and slipped it back
among the magazines on the desk.
1t was an instructive action, and
the next moment she realized it's
futility. AS if by hiding that one
copy she could keep back that
dan1ning bit of information!
Her head was whirling as Jim's
nurse, calm-faced and smiling,
came down the corridor to the
desk.
"Our patients quite hero" she
observed in her professional voice.
Newspapers make people so ro-
mantle, don't you think, Mrs. Ben
nett?"
She reached for the folded paper
and Iona felt a sudden impulse to
tear it UP. She could have screamed
as the woman opened the page.
Then, with an effort, she pulled
herself togethel

ask, her voice surprising her by

il, it would ever be home to them, or
if they would have to move on from
there, too. Keep moving on, for
ever!
If she slipped into the station
and bought the tickets one at
time, the station agent would
scarcely notice, she told herself.
Then when the time came and Jim
was able to travel, she'd have them,
and they could leave unnoticed,
with nothing to trace them by. Just
drop out.
She felt a little better when she
went to bed, finally, the promise of
action quieting the worst of her
fears. Perhaps, after all, she
thought, as she dropped off to the
sleep her tired nerves were de-
manding, Camdon might not be
such bad place. Any place would
be wonderful with Jim.
She was to forget her frantic
planning in new anxiety as the
shrilling of Mrs. Morriss' telephone
wakened her hours later. Sitting
up in bed she saw it was still dark
outside. and swift fear gripped her.
She was downstairs before Mrs.
Morriss, and picked up the tele-
phone. It was the impersonal voice
of the hospital clerk which sounded
in her ear.
''The doctor would like you to
come at once, Mrs. Bennett" the
girl told her. "Mr. Bennett is not
resting very WELL"
"You mean he's worse ?"
"The doctor would like you
here" The voice was unmoved.
"But what-he was all right last
night. What happened?"
He's calling for you. And the
doctor thinks you'd better come"
She stood for moment as the
phone clicked dead, and Mrs. Nor
riss, shapeless in her bundled dress
ing gown, cried out at sight Of
her face.
"I've got to CO." she told her.
''It's jim" She turned, suddenly,
and almost ran for the stairs.
"I'll call a taxi" Mrs. Morrisa
took charge. "We can both be
ready by the time it gets here"
Her hand on the stair rail, Iona
turned back sharply.
"Both?" she echoed. But you
can't come with mel"
"You don't think I'd let you go
alone, do you? Come and get
dressed"
"But you can't! won't have it!
You-you need your rest, Mrs.
Morris. You have to work tomor-
row. I couldn't think" She was
floundering, trying to think of
some valid reason for keeping the
woman here at home. She couldn't
have anybody prying, listening.
''The doctor said not to bring
anyone" she lied, desperately. "He
doesn't want any confusion. It's
sweet of you, Mrs. Morriss. lap
preciate it. But I'd better go
alone"
"Of course, if you feel that way"
Mrs. Morriss was obviously hurt
and Lona's heart ached. IT think
you should have somebody older,
in case-somebody should be with
you. You never know what will
happen" She broke off, and Iona

still showed no signs of improve
ment. When the man returned,
there would be no keeping him
away from Jim this time.
She had questioned the doctor
that evening before leaving the
hospital. She had told him she
wanted to take Jim home to his
people in st. Louis, and the doctor
had smiled indulgently.
I'm a couple of weeks" he told
her nonchalantly.
"Oh, but I'd like to take him
right away" She had almost
pleaded, and her heart sank like a
stone when he shook his kindly
head.
care you afraid we're not doing
right by him here? he half ban
tered. "She doesn't like us, nurse" /"
he laughed, turning to the nurse.
"She wants to get this husband of
hers away from u.s."
"No, it's not that! It's just-he'd
be better off if he was near his
mother" She faltered over the
word, and dropped her eyes.
I'm two weeks We'll see about
it," the doctor promised, and she
turned away to hide her agitation.
Two weeks! Didn't he realize-two
weeks would be too late? They had
to be away from here by then.
Safely away, with no traces left.
Shed HAVE to find a way!
Wide-eyed, sleepless, she tried,
now, to make some plans. Desper-
ately she counted the money in her
purse and in the wallet of Jim's
they had turned over to her at the
hospital. It was not much, scarcely
fifty dollars in all, but it would
have to do. The first thing in the
morning she'd go to the station
and purchase two railroad tickets,
she decided. Tickets to where?
In the dim light of Mrs. Morriss'
bed lamp she rumaged through the
bag she had brought over from her
side of the house, and found,
tucked away in its pocket, the road
map she and Jim had used on their
honeymoon trip. Purposefully, she
spread it out, and traced with her
finger the network of roads, lead
ing to names that were all new to
her. One by one she looked over the
nearby towns and discarded them
because they were too close to
Brighton. Would it be better to go
out of the state altogether, she
wondered, and longed for Jim's
stalwart shoulder beside her, and
his drawing advice.
1t could not be a place where a
bridge was in construction. That
much she knew. After this expert
ence every new bridge would be
watched, and any newcomer asking
for work would be target for sus-
picion. It meant that Jim would
have to give up his trade, find some
other means of earning a living,
but she couldn't worry over that
phase of it now. There were too
many other things to think about.
She settled, finally, upon a minor
metropolis almost across the state
from Brighton. It was a thriving
city, large enough to be imper-
sonal, where newcomers would not
attract attention. No more honey
little places like Brighton for
them! She knew that now, with a
pang of regret. Camdon was the
name of the city of her choice, and
sitting there on the bed, alone, she
looked at the name on the map
with tear-filled eyes, wondering if

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE

DINAH HAD connected the ar
ticle in the paper about the Wet
more bridge with the visit the de.
tective had paid her the day OF
Jims accident. Iona knew it the
moment the girl greeted her when
she returned at last, weary and
soul-tired, from her vigil at the
hospital. There was something
tense in her manner, question in
her bright blue eyes as she helped
her mother make fuss over Iona
A question Iona dreaded to meet
did you see it in the newspa-
PERI" Dinah blurted out when Mrs
Morriss had left them alone for q
moment while she brewed tea in
the kitchen.
Iona nodded.
"It's the same name-Rankin.
That's the man he-the detective
was hunting" She broke off,
doubtfully. "I can't imagine why he
thought it might be Jim. Are you
sure Jim has never been in Colo
rado?"
Iona managed an easy laugh.
"Jim's never been farther west
than st. Louis" she said. "And I'm
sure he's never been to college. So
how could he be an engineer?"
Dinah shook her head, doubt
fully. "It's funny, though" she
persisted. "Do you think this
Rankin was guilty?" she brought
out, her tinkling voice a little
aWed.
"Of course not!" The words
came from Lona's lips before she
realized what she was saying.
"Why would he kill his friend 2"
She was thinking of Jim's agoniz-
ing cry of "Murder!" back there in
his bare hospital room. If Dinah
knew that! The girl was looking at
her sharply, and she knew her tone
had been too intense.
I'm tired, Dinah," she admitted
then. Lets not talk about-such
things. 1--we been so worried
about JIM"
"Of course you're tiredw Mrs.
Morriss was back, and her moth
erly voice put an end to the CONVEX
sation. With a disapproving glance
at Dinah, she hustled about and
Iona settled back into her chair,
gratefully feigning exhaustion to
keep from talking. Underneath, her
mind was seething, and she was
conscious of Dinah's eyes upon her,
unsatisfed, brooding.
Lona's mind still was whirling
feverishly as she paced her room in
the Morriss home that night. Dinah
and her mother were sleeping, but
the need for action was upon her,
had pulled her from the bed into
which they had tucked her, and set
her restless feet to tramping si-
lently the staid fiowered rug of
Mrs. Morriss' guest room.
1t was a terrible situation in
which she found herself. Was she
going to be able to keep Dinah
from suspecting? And Clark Mar
tin? Despite the nurses promises,
if he ever once heard that tell-tale
cry Of Jinn's it would be the end.
The next few days were going to
be spent walking tight rope,
never daring to relax and yet al
ways having to smile and seem un-
concerned.
Two weeks! The detective would
return in two weeks. Two precious
days were gone already, and Jim

This devotion, according to Rev. FIR.

Blessed Catherine Laboure had a

Blessed Virgin Mary, to encourage de-

community, the Sisters of Charity in
the city of Paris, France. Since that
time the custom has spread to various
parts of the world

a bad state of affairs. Here are things
which the country clearly needs and
which a majority Of the people clearly
want. Yet they cannot be obtained be-
cause Mr.. Roosevelt conceives that any
moves toward them constitutes re-
pudiation of his policies and confess
sion of error.
In private conversation, and in some
cases publicly, Mr.. Roosevelt has been
recorded as favoring all these pro
posals, excepting only the revamping
of WPA. Probably he would have
moved himself in their direction, but
for the radical group which insists
that to do so means qualification and
surrender. Certainly at one time he
was strongly in accord with the tax
revision plan Of the Messrs. Morgen-
thau and Hanes, whom he mortify-
ingly left out on the limb to be
laughed at. But now, absorbed with
the European situation, his plain de
sire is to check any Congressional ac-
ton that could possibly be construed
as a concession to his opponents.
&&a
So far as the Democratic party is
concerned the thing upon which he
has set his heart is strong platform
Endorsement of him and his Admins
tration by the 1910 convention. That
regardless Of the nominee, is his basic
political purpose. To achieve it Con-
gress clearly has got to be prevented
from undoing his mistakes and he has
got to keep the pose Of not having
made any. AS much as anything else
this accounts for the scuttling of the
Observation-Disclosures proposals and his
nervousness to reason on the sub
iect Of either modification or adjust
ment of the awkward and unavoidable
laws for which he is responsible. Re
signed and resentfal, anti-Administra-
ton leaders say there is nothing to dc
but wait for another President. That
is probably true, but it is pretty tough
on the country.
