| happened long ago, that had nothing
to do with the present. Would life
ever become ordered again, and sane,
and peaceful?
Sees Sandy Outside.
Once in her room, she didn't turn
on the light at once, but went to
the window To look idly OUT upon
the wet streets. 1t had stopped rain
ing, but the wind still moaned softly.
Chalmers had let the guard out
side go, but Lucy saw that there
was man standing outside the
house, leaning against post snok-
ing. AS she watched he cast the
cigarette away and began strolling
slowly back and forth. She couldn't
mistake that light swinging grace
full walk. 1t was Sandy Block.
Occasionally he glanced up, as If
watching for the light in her WIN
dow to come on. She smiled family.
There was a sudden feeling of
warmth within her. He had nothing
to gain now. There was no reason
why he should stand guard outside
there, unless perhaps he had really
meant those things he'd said.
She did like Sandy very much,
and after all he had done the best
he knew how, regardless of how
things had turned out. And maybe
he had done it for her sake, too,
as he had tried to tell her this
afternoon.
Sandy Is Faithful.
She shook herself mentally. There
was no excuse for his impertinence!
Maybe this was Just show put
on for her benefit! She reached up
and pulled the blind down to the
sill, then snapped on her light. De-
liberately she turned her thoughts
toward other things. Now that Luke
was gone, she and Elizabeth and
Merit and Guy would have to pick
up the threads of their lives again.
Perhaps the household would be-
come a sane, normal place now
She might even find job. 1t
would be hard to get used to the
idea that there was no inheritance
now.
After she had prepared herself
for bed and turned out her light,
she did raise the blind a trif1e to
peer out at that striding figure
keeping guard in the street below
her window, and again a warm
smile curved her mouth. She felt
strangely comforted.
She awakened once in the night
and lay there for a time hardly
daring to breathe as she tried to
ascertain what had wakened her
She could hear no sound. Down
below she could see Sandy still walk
ing to and fro.
In spite of a persistent sense of
uneasiness, she dropped off to sleep
again after a time

supply if the baby has not been
able to kill enough for its needs.
All lynxes are fastidious. They
battle and careful grooming keep
them in prime condition. There is
little to show these animals are
very socially inclined. When sew
eral are seen together it Is a family
party.
Despite the fact that lynxes are
prone to have more diseases than
any other mammal, the lynx main
tains his excellent state of health
Rabbits are the choice food. Birds,
especially grouse, are eagerly hunted
and these birds are always on the
alert when lynxes are in the vicinity.
When more food is killed than
needed the hunter caches the re-
mainder.
With all his faults, the lynx has
never been known to attack a hu-
man being. He will stare at him
for a long time, then steal away.
Sometimes, meeting one face to
face, there will be a short, polite
interval, as if considering what the
code of the woods demands-but
man is left in full command and
not question asked.

CHAPTER XII (continued)

Dinner was a silly mockery that
evening, although for the first time
since Luke's death the entire family
was present at meal.
The weather had turned bad
again, the wind rising, and a thin
rain beginning To lash the window S
1t was a singularly depressing mo-
ment, the conversation about the
table having almost been extin-
guished, when Laval stopped sud-
denly as he was removing some
dishes from the table. oh" he ex-
claimed. MY word! Why didn't I
think of that sooner!" He had
stopped short and was staring of
into space, as if he were transfixed
Then he seemed to become aware of
them again. II just thought of
something" he stammered. Some
thing concerning Mr.. Luke's death.
I think when Inspector Chalmers
knows about it, he'll be able to find
Who-Who did it."
What is it?" Guy demanded. He
arose, pushing back his chair, Lean
ing with his hands on the table,
peering fiercely at Laval. What
did you think off"
The intensity of his voice caught
at Lucy's throat.
Laval gulped. "Oh it's-well I
don't think I'd rightly better say
until-until I can tell Mr. Chal-
mers," he explained. He appeared
embarrassed at having to say this
For an instant he looked from one
to another of them, and then
turned about and hurried out into
the kitchen, leaving a blank, dread
full hush behind him.
Hear Laval at Phone.
HE evidently thinks it's one of
U.s." Merit said thoughtfully.
A few moments later they heard
Laval in the hall, at the phone.
Well" Guy snapped sarcastically
when the man returned, did you
phone your pal, Inspector Chalmers,
and tell him your important clue?"
"Oh Guy" Lucy began.
MIR. Chalmers was out of town,
sir. and won't be back until morn
ing was Laval's civil answer as he
went on with his serving.
The meal was over at last, and
they all left their places.
Lucy decided to 60 to her room at
once. She noted that Guy made for
his beloved laboratory. She thought
once of going down to keep him
company for while, but in truth
she was little frightened of Guy.
He'd been so horribly queer and Bit
ter since Uncle Luke's death.
Was it only less than a week ago,
she was thinking YEARLY as she
made her way up the long staircase,
that she and Greg had become en-
gagged, and had come so happily to
tell Uncle Luke. 1t seemed years
ago. Even the events of this very
afternoon had already assumed the
hazy quality of something that had

THE 40 PER CENT CUT
IN RELIEF COSTS

Governor Olson is right. The legisIa-
ture's l2 million dollar Temporary relief
appropriation will make necessary a 10
per cent cut in relief costs
Normally such a drastic reduction
would conjure visions of inhuman Suf
fering. downright starvation and gigant-
ic public demonstrations by pennilesS
sufferers
The California relief situation is not
normal. however. The cut may cause
some hardship-but it will do some good
too.
Before YOU 90 head over heels in symp-
athy with the relief clients who will feel
the burden of the reduction. consider the
recent report of the Los Angeles chap
ter of the State Employees Association
a report founded upon personal eXper-
fence, observation and investigation.
The state employees reported that:
One third of the relief clients in the Los
Angeles area are badly in need of relief,
and deserve a helping hand from the
state.
One third of the Los Angeles relief eli
ents are marginal cases who lived on the
fringe when times were at their best
hardly ever making more than bare
living; and now that they can obtain re-
lief with little effort, making few efforts
to do anything but stay on relief.
One third of the clients are downright
chiselers - buns, if YOU please who
wouldn't work even if they did not have
relief to fall back on. and who do not de-
serve help or consideration under any
circumstances.
There you have the story Only one
third actually needs and deserves relief
That is, 33 l-3 per cent of the relief load
is bona fide.
So there is left a possible cut Of &C 2-3
without causing undue damage. The diff
erence between Sc 2-3 and 40 per cent is
26 2-3 per cent. In other words. with a
reduction of 40 per cent, the SRA can
still operate with leeway of more than
26 per cent in marginal cases Even for
SRA. that ought to be enough.
AS to those cut off by SRA. they can go
back to their old mode of life, with an
added incentive to hunt work, and both
they and the state Will profit in the long
run
SO perhaps the 10 per cent reduction is
not a bad idea, after all.

100 CZECHS AND
A LABOR UNION
{ Baltimore SUM

Only an expert in the process involved
in the manufacture of shoes can possibly
have any certain knowledge of the num-
ber of experienced techncianS required
to set going such plant as that built
by the Bata Shoe company At Belcamp.
Md. Nh Bata himself asked to be allow
ed to import 100 trained CzcchS 10 get
the work going. The commissioner of
immigration first allowed that figure.
but thought better of il after hearing Il
protest by d labor union. Now he has rc-
duced the acceptable number to ten This
means that SiXty-two of the Seventy-two
foreigners already brought over and put
to work will lose their jobs. 1t means
that tWenty-eight others. about 10 come
here, will not be given entry According
to spokesman for the company. it means
that the plant will be retarded in its
effort to reach full production and 50
give full employment.
In such matters as this the law allows
the commissioner certain discretion.
IT, for instance. Nh Bata had asked
permission to import 1000 or even 500
workers. the commissioner would clearly
have been in a position to express doubt
that so many We're needed and make the
company prove its case to the hilt. But
the Bata request was discreet one. The
company asked entry for only 100 crafts
men. This clearly implies that it was not
trying to break down the immigration
laws for the benefit of a mass of folNign-
ers. One hundred men. in factory that
will employ hundreds, is very few.
The unions protest was properly
heard. It should have been taken into
account But certainly the commissioner
should not have overlooked the fact that
labor union. after ALL is a special in
tereSt and that it sometimes is more con
cerned with displaying its power than
with promoting the general good. The
interests at stake here went far beyond
the special interests of the labor union.
The interests involved We're the Jobs for
great many Americans. the profitable
employment Of capital. and ali those
community concerns which are involved
in the operation or incorporation OF
given industry.
