Then Helen tried to tell Lynn what
had happened down South.
II was almost at the end of my

CHAPTER XXXII

On the second day Chuck called
her at the shop in the morning and
asked her to meet him at luncheon.
"I'm at the Astor. Under another
name. We better eat lunch in my
room. I'm leaving town and want
to see you first"
When Lynn walked into Chuck's
room two hours later she saw he
had not slept. He was nervous,
kept looking at his watch. He mo-
toned her into a chair.
''My plane leaves at 2:3O P. M.
Our lunch will be along in a mo-
ment. They're near New Orleans.
I just found out. My mans been
working night and day since you
told mel"
Just then the waiter brought their
food and they were silent as he
served it. When the door closed
Chuck began again Immediately:
"I'n do as you say. 1t won't
work, probably. But I'll keep my
side of the bargain!"
Lynn's eyes filed with tears:
"Chuck, of course, it won't work
if you really don't want Helen and
Buddy backl" She raised her hands
in protest. "Please listen to mel
Would you want Helen to take you
back only because of Buddy" The
expression on his face was answer
enough. She'll come, if she knows
you want her toll"
She tried hard to make Chuck un-
derstand. He was making a great
effort. Lynn knew how bitter was
his Austin pride. He must care a
great deal. When she left him she
said:
Good luck, and happiness!"
He gave her hand a squeeze,
leaned over and kissed her cheek.
He could not speak for the lump in
his throat
Four days before Christmas she
lay in her bed trying to summon
courage enough to get up when her
bell rang. She jumped out of bed,
threw on a robe and hurried to the
door.
A telegraph boy handed in a mes
sage. With trembling fingers she
opened it. 1t was short, quite I'M
explanatory.
Merry Christmas, see you SOON"
1t was signed, "Chuck, Helen, Bud
dy."
1t was Nine. Reanoud who solved
Lynn's Christmas problem for her.
why don't you trim your tree
and have some Of the kids from the
old apartment building next to you
in for a party Christmas day7"
she asked. "They could use a par.
ty, from the way they look. Better
give them meat and potatoes in
stead Of ice cream though. They
seem to need it,"
Lynn was enthusiastic over the
idea. "Pn do It'll I'll invite them
tonight"
"You better start shopping, young
womanl That's more Important"
1t turned out that Terry was q
harbor OF refuge when Lynn came
to the shopping problem. He drove
her to the stores, here and there.
When Terry and Lynn came back
into the living room, he took her
hand:
Can give you your ring, Lynn?
For Christmas7"
Her eyes were black as she spoke:
II wish could say yes, Terry, but
/ can't"
ITS the last time I'm going to
ask. l have it here in my pocket"
He took out q gorgeous yellow dia-
mond which had been in his family
for years. Empress Josephine once
wore that, young woman, and II isn't
good enough for you"
You're sweet, Terry" Lynn
looked at the gorgeous stone laying
In his hand. She shook her head
and smiled up at him.
Lynn determined not to think of
the tree which Wild had trimmed
for her q year ago. She turned
restlessly. Somebody was coming

Borbed-Wire EntonqIements
By Paul B. Malone, Major

By Paul B. Malone, Major
General, U. S. A., retired.
Harrisburg, Pa: Stackpole.
Gen. Malone abandons West Point
as his favorite story locale for the
battleflelds of France in the first
World War. 1t would seem, how
ever. that Frances 1917 fields of
honor long since have been ex-
hausted as exploitable book ma
terial. For "Barbed Wire Entangle-
ments" is no more than the old drone
whereby an unwilling citizen is
caught by the draft, packed off to
the front, reveals himself to be Of
several shades of yellow, but
eventually awakens his shrunken
soul to renounce former self and
marry a nice Red Cross nurse who
has forgiven all in the meantime.
This jaded sequence, moreover, is
populated by characters about as
articulate and animated as so many
puppets.
But the author knows his army in
fine detail. His battle scenes drive
home with realism. And he shows
great strength on patriotism and ad-
miration for his old chief, Gen. John

This purports to be the auto
biography of the late Lord Tweeds-
muir, former Governor General OF
Canada. But, actually, it is very
slight thing viewed as life history.
1t gives only the outlines of its au-
thor's career--his youthful up
bringing in the home of Calvinist
minister, his time at school and at
oxford, his service in South Africa
after the Boer War, law practice,
the World War, membership in
Parliament and work as a man Of
letters. For the rest and the great
part of the volume, the material Is
given over to "reminiscences of

Indeed, one might take the author
as typical of the generation of young
English romanticists, who saw their
country enter the first World War
a generation it was of spiritual es-
capists. Its members entered public
services and the professions because
the ties of patriotism and class con-
strained them to, but they had little

Mr.. Perelman is a professional
funny man of what may be called
the mad" school. He writes pieces
which do not make sense, but which
are supposed to make humor. The
reviewer parts company with Mr.
Perelman on this. t
She maintains that anything
which is really humorous is-if not
sensible-stiIl within the bounds of
sense. 1t may invert sense, it may
confound sense, 1t may exaggerate
sense by following such courses, OBJ
viously, it makes itself funny. But
1t has its root in sense somewhere
and gathers its significance from
that fact.
The mad school of humor, as
practiced by Mr.. Perelman, departs
from this rule. 1t inverts, con-
POUNDS and exaggerates, but it be-
gins its inverting, confounding and
exaggerating outside the bounds of
sense altogether. 1t has nothing
but inversion, confusion and exag-
geration to deal with in the first
place. The result is a WEAKNESS.
1t is like watching the Ritz brothers.
One can only wonder at the things
people will do for fame and money.

forts in this present volume.

Labor Day is now one of the most

had been no public recognition of
the part played by industry and
labor in moulding this Nation into
the vital force it is today.
America was great land when
Columbus discovered it: Americans
have made it great Nation" This
quotation from Lyman Abbott is
illustrated by perusal of some
of the books about prominent Amer

of industry and labor. These books

Contempts by Publication
By Harold w. SulliUdn. Ne

HdUen: Yale University.
A wealth of research has gone into
this work by Mr.. Sullivan, quondam
newspaper reporter, Yale and Har-
ward graduate, and a depth of
thought in his indictment, not only
Of the judiciary, particularly in
Massachusetts,, but likewise Of the
newspapers. For what the author
calls trial by newspaper" is the
theme that runs through the nearly
200 pages of his book, which Is
privately printed. He emphasizes
the excellence Of the English courts,
particularly in matters of contempt,
which is his particular target.
Trial by newspaper" is well within
the purview of the courts and the
legal profession. The remedy, If
one be needed, Is in the hands of
the judiciary. For every prospec-
tive juror is asked If he knows any
thing about the case about to be
tried, and if that would influence
his opinion. Those unable to give
an impartial hearing are excused.
And during the trial, the alert
justice enjoins the jury not only to
refrain, during the entire case, from
reading anything about it which
the newspapers might carry, but
even to avoid discussing it among
themselves, prior to retiring to their
celebrating room. If judge and
jury abide by this salutary rule, how
can the jurors be influenced by the
newspapers, as Mr.. Sullivan fears2
Newspapers owe a duty to the
