Oh, l could make him pay dearly

avenging angel, Clarkson, so you d

the joker" He pushed the confess
sion toward the trembling servant.
Surely you wouldn't accuse him
and hurt his mother?"
Vernon's answer was chilly
voiced. That angle means nothing
to me-" Clarkson would not know
he was lying.
After a moment Of gazing i'm
ploringly into Vernon Stones face.
the shaking Clarkson scrawled his
name. Stone added the signed pa
per to the others in a small, safe
locked drawer of his desk.
THAT fixes IT," he said with sat
isfaction. Each person involved is
permanently at bay. Afraid to
move, as the slang expression
goes" He looked at his trembling
victim through narrowed eyes.
We'll, Clarkson. you've reached
the end Of your crooked road. For
years you've been doing Theodore's
dirty work. even during his college
days. I suppose you've made quite
lot OF money through it and /
hope so, because, Of course, you're

your business. Now, GARRISON, you
know Theodore's little moods
pretty well. Perhaps you'd better
leave town for some far destina-
ton while he still is incarcerated,
because he isn't going to like you
very well when he finds out what
has happened"
Two days later Vernon Stone and
Ylena again faced each other in
the lawyers Office. Stone said with
jubilance. I'VE have Theodore I'M
der control now. When he returns
from what comes nearest to a real
cure he's ever taken, I'll have lit
tie talk with him and put the fear
of God into him. I'll tell him about
his precious Clarkson. oh, he'll find
his playhouse blown to bits and I'm
sure he'll think twice before both
ering you again"
The girl answered his smile.
And now to me-" She took of her
emerald ring and bounced it gently
in the palm Of her hand. What can
you get me on this. Uncle Bonnie ?
You must stop sending me that
monthly allowance. I was stupid to
think it came from Theodore"
The lawyer accepted the enor-
nous square solitaire. set atop
small, platinum emerald-studded
circle. He laughed without humor.
'Emblematic of happiness, emer-
aids. Did you know that. Ylena?
And there's an old myth from Bib
lical times that an emerald will
fracture if chastity is violated.
What a blessing" he said dryly,
that you've been wearing this in
stead of Theodore. on his hand it
would be a green powder by now

Every girl wants to get mar

mans wife. l was no exception
there either. I was young, and you
know how charming Theodore can

wealth has put on him. SO l mar

He wasn't so terrible at that time,
Vernon He was working hard in
the art class. He'd even taken a
small apartment with another stu

The soldier has only one arm and is

at his violin, that fiat, pinned-down

Mighty morbid stuff. Ylena.-
But mighty good. He won a
medal with II. There was a lot in
the papers and was so proud. I
thought he'd continue to do good
things She sighed deiectedly.
But after that, he never did a sin

What happened to his room

Her eyes frightened. He had the
most tremendous streak Of luck. He
inherited forty or fifty thousand
dollars and left town"
Vernon said with inslnuating
calm, That sounds about like

II am not familiar with the
cases OF Glenn and Benny

serve as a typical example OF
what the Child Guidance Inst-

search and public education.
I'VE already have started pro-
grams wherein the teachers of
teen-aged and grade school pu-
pills are asked to report young

MALApJUsTMENT

A Peruvian journalist and q mem
Der Of the House of Representa-
tives speaking In this country. criti-
cizes the handling here OF news OF
the southern continent. Probably
his views are to q certain extent
well founded, but, as In the case OF
similar problems, much broader
base Of reimbursement underlies
the problem than the casual listener
viii realize.
In the first place we In the United
States have enjoyed two centuries
OF freedom from European domina-
ton where our neighbors have ap-
proximately only one. The result Is
that their governments have not yet
the latitude In action which we
have enjoyed--and the various polit-
ical units, fearful Of loss OF pres
tige which viii inv. encroachment
from without, guard the transmits
sion of news from their countries
with Jealous eyes.

Of censorship must be delegated
and likewise they do not always
fall into competent hands. Who
knows better than we that this can
be trueY
The consequent flow Of informs

unreliable. More unfortunately still.

II has been variously commented
here that our ignorance OF the
South American continent Is
astounding. Naturally this ignor-
ance has led to laundering awk-
wardness In our attempts to be
friendly. but isn't 1t possible that
this, like so many vexing situa-
tions, ID due to slackness and made
quacies on both sides. which may

AZ CHINA sEEs JAPAN

Inc Chtuese claim that Japan VIII
have ito plead for an economic
truce with America and Britain and
sue for q military armistice with
China" II the current economic
blockade continues for six months,
may not be true, but It seems quite
apparent That Japan is not in the
most favorable position for war.
Using figures based on imports,
exports and home production since
1887, Chinese officials have con-
cluded that japan will have ex-
hausted her oil and gasoline re-
serves by next March. and will
have used up imported stocks OF
iron and STEEL scrap before the end
OF this December; that the silk In
dustry, most important In japan,
will be two-thirds ruined by next
spring. and that the cotton indus
try will be operating at only rs
per cent of normal capacity by
next spring.
These figures are all based on
the current rate OF consumption,
II was stated.
The Chinese reports would natur-
ally be unfavorable to Japan but
they may be near enough TO fact
TO predict that Japan will avert war
with the United States as long as
possible, or at least TIL the German
Russian outcome Is more definite.
