CHAPTER TX

Work brought little peace to Eric Kane. Even at the dam, where a hundred men toiled like galley slaves to carry out his orders he could not forget Emily.
 Looks like we'll make it Chief" Baker was at his elbow They stood beside the engineers office, high above the diversion dam, looking down on the gravel trucks, edging out along the high trestle, dumping their load of stone, then rumbling back to the gravel dumps, piled high along the railroad track. Unmindful of dan- ger, men worked at the edge of the trestle, guiding the gravel into chutes, to spill 1t over the dam.
 Pay those men out there double" Eric ordered curtly. And keep them there. Any reports on the weather?"
 Temperature rising steadily" Baker answered. But we can stand that, if we don't get rain.
 If the rain holds of for another week - and it may - all that snow will be melted and past the dam. If 1t rains, and rains hard, it's go- ing to be just too bad"
 Eric - telephone!" an assistant shouted from the office door.
 Emily's voice came to him over the wire, giving him a pleasant thrill. You're coming down for the Country Club dinner-dance to- night Eric. Alan and I won't take No for an answer. You've been

! him tingling.
 "Brrl It's cold" She chattered her teeth in mock chill. Just the kind of weather you've been asking for. I hope Oou get your fill of it, Mir. Eric Kane, while the rest of us have to freeze"
 Heater button right there on the dash in front of you," Eric said shortly. A good offense is the best defense, he thought.
 "All right, grump. Would your disposition improve any if I should sing? Really you don't have to be mean, just because I ask you to take me home"
 I'm not being near. Just smart"
 Emily made no answer. Instead she leaned against him, her head on his shoulder, and closed her eyes, a picture of perfect content ment.
 Eric glanced from the road ahead of him to the tilt of her nose, the long eyelashes, the small curls around her forehead.
 She hummed softly to herself, but said nothing more until they turned into the driveway of her home.
 Wont you come in?" she asked Allan should be here so6n." She turned to leave the car.
 Don't go, E mily. Stay just a minute. I've something to tell you" Just as well get it over now, Kane, Eric told himself. Then she1 not be calling you to come down again. Make the break. It can't hurt her. She loves Alan. Tell her now; get it over.
 I'm going back up to the dam. Emily" Eric said seriously. T won't be back. You and Alan have been wonderful to me, and I'll not forget. But this is goodby."
 She faced him, questioningly. Why must she look like that? Why must she be so beautiful? He wanted to look away, but he couldn't.
 "It just can't be like this. It isn't fair to Alan. He's the finest man I've ever known, Emily. And he's so great and honest and hon. orable that he thinks everyone else is that way too. I'm not. Alan saved my life. He'd do 1t again - even if he knew"
 Even if he knew what, Eric?" Her voice thrilled him.
 That love you, Emily" Somehow she was in his arms, her face was close. Slowly, de- liberately, Eric bent, kissed her lips.
 Then, almost roughly, he pushed her away, reached past her to open the door. (To Be Continued)

Peru Boosts Highest RoilWoy in the World

PERU, in the early seventies,
 saw the vital need for na- tional expansion. Sealed away in the towering Andes was incredible mineral wealth. The country need- ed this. But getting it out was something else again.
 The government called in its best engineers, asked them what were the chances to build a rail- road into the Andes. Virtually none, the engineers reported. Such a plan was impossible! And it did look impossible, that is until Henry Meiggs, the fantastic pro- moter from San Francisco, arrived.
 Said the ever-confident Meiggs:
 Anywhere the Hama goes I'll take a train."
 Meiggs kept his word. Gather ing corps of competent engineers about him, he proceeded to build the spectacular Central Railway, running from Callao and Lima and on up into the mountains 298 miles to Huancayo. It was the highest standard-gauge railway in the world. And it is today.
 At Galera station, 98 miles from Lima, the road reaches an eleva- ton of 15,680 feet. The highest point on the line, La Gina, is 15,- 805 feet. There are many points around 12,000 feet. In fact, the railroad runs so high most of the way that a doctor rides on all trains, ready to supply oxygen to fainting passengers.
 The scenery along the route is superb. Typical railroad scene in Peru is shown above on a current Peruvian air post.

Dubois Charges
Democracy Has
Been Badly Bent
World Cravely
Questioning Its
Capabilities

Although DR.. w. T.. B. Dubois
adheres strictly to the tenents Of
Democracy. he told an almost ca
pacity audience IN 81. Antoine
YMcA gymnasium Sunday after
noon that many people OF the world
are not only examining closely
Democracy. but are gravely ques
tioning the conception Of Demos
racy that the masses OF the peo-
Pile are capable OF governing them
selves.
II was DR.. Dubois assertion that
Democracy has been badly shat
tered In many places. badly bent II
others. and completely destroyed
in many sections OF the world.
No Conception Clearer
However, the famous professor
OF Atlanta university. expressed
the belief that there is no "con-
ception clearer than Democracy
for rolling back OF the dark clouds
In the future.
But greed. which has brought
about despair In q land OF plenty,
threatens the very foundation OF
Democracy he continued. The es-
sence OF Democracy. the learned
writer said. is ito give up for the
benefit Of the masses"
DR.. Dubois, while not In sympa
thy with the militaristic and Inn
perial.stic form OF government In
Japan, said that he firmly be-
lieved in Asia for the Asiatics.' .
This, he declared, would eliminate
the exploitation OF the Chinese BY
Europeans.
At the same time he advanced
the whole-hearted support for the
return OF Africa 10 the Africans.
After etching a vivid word pic
ture OF the growth OF Democracy.
DR.. Dubois said that the same old
question confronts the citizens ~
the country: finding ruler Of
ability. and the kind OF man for
the masses OF the people.

Advertising Methods
OF Undertakers Hit
By Association Head

CHICAGO (ANP)-- william z
officer. general secretary Progress
sive National Funeral Directors
association. this week voiced loud
condemnation OF the unethical con-
duct OF some morticians. whose
actions he says. are lowering the
standard OF the profession.
Secretary officer declared. "The
public disapproves the practices o!
death-bed watchers. body snatch
ers and other unethicaI conduct
such as we find going on In ST.
Louis. where funeral directors are
STOPPING TO distribute hand bills
to worshippers at doors OF
churches. The purpose OF our ma
tional association Is to raise our
standard by elimination OF such
practices. and it Is strange that
funeral directors have not learned
that distributing hand bills al
church doors, and printing pic
lures OF caskets. ambulances and
hcarses in newspaper ads. causes
them to lose both prestige and
business.
THE national association feels
that it is necessary for funeral di.
rectors 10 stay before the public
and advertise. but there is a legi
innate and high-class way in which
1t should be done. Many OF our
state boards are opposed to the un.
ethical methods mentioned. and
the time Is near when funera
directors who carry on this Of
fentiye practice may lose their II
