''Nobody's going to take you to any
jail this cold night. You clean your
feet and come along in here! I've
had about all the foolishness can
stand for one day. If they want you
they'll come after you fast enough.
Shove him out Of there, Bry. I'm
getting out Of patience-I might
muss him up If let my Irish CO."
After some argument and a minor
scufiie, Tom was half dragged, half
carried into the house. Lossie was
white-faced, Marian frankly crying.

Much obliged, Bry. You can 60

all wrought up-there may be some
thing to this business and there may

then there won't be anything to take

Giving orders, being executive and
the matriarch again, helped Virgie
keep her calm. But when Bry had
gone and Marian had slipped up
stairs, and Tom Pruitt, fed and
warmed and dressed in some of Da-
vid's old clothes lay sleeping on the
couch by the fire, virgie dropped into
a straight chair and sat gripping the
arms. letting her spirit tremble and
her stout heart shudder with appre-
hension.
She looked up at David's portrait.
David would have known what to do
in . situation like this-but David's
eyes had caution and judgment in
them. David had never done any
thing On impulse. She could not
seek for precedents. Nothing like
this had ever happened to David.
David had been a slight man and
Toms lean ankles thrust out pa

You Prat+|e Of Liberty?
You Die!-in the Year b35
BY BENJAMIN DE CASSERES

IT'S the year 635 A. D. The
L scene is small town in the
FrankiSh kingdom (now F'rance)
Under the reign of King Dago-
bert.
In this small town. there was
a sWineherd, Jacques by name.
He was a "bondsman," a slave,
TO the liege-lord of the domain.
AS he lay down YEARLY on his
filthy straw at night and closed
his eyes in sleep-the profound
sleep of a swineherd--a tiny
fairy dressed in gold and brown
fitted out of the dark and
touched Jacques on the forehead
with the tip of her star-lit wand.
Behold. jacques said the
fairy.
And in his dream Jacques
saw a far-distant land of mighty
mountains, forests and rivers
whereto the Jacqueses of all the
earth--the oppressed-came as
He saw that all men-even
the loWlieSt-were free there. :
In the magic timelessness of his
dream he saw poor boys like
himself riSeto riches and power.
He saw in this land all men
walking upright without obSe-
quiousneSS the first men who
had ever done so.
He saw the last shackles drop
from even the black man. He
saw workers who lived in what
seemed to poor Jacques TO be
palaces. and he heard men brag
of their freedom of speech and
thought without a lash being
applied to their backs.
IN EVERY city that passed
Il before his eyes he saw flying
-in-the- breeze-Mh4t- he thought
was the most beautiful piece of
cloth he had ever seen even at
the fairs-a cloth with red and
white stripes with large cluster
of white stars on a blue back
ground in the corner.
And in the transformations OF
his dreams he saw again the
peoples of all the world looking
toward that land and that flag
with prayerful eyes and on their
lips he heard one word
Liberty
The fairy withdrew her wand
from Jacques forehead and
Jacques Snored on with his pigs.
The next day he fold all the
people roundabout Of his dream
of a land where every one was
free and where there were no
kings or liege-lordS and where
all men walked upright and eyed
one another fearleSSly.
And Jacques was proclaimed a
public liar and a witch and was
hanged as such i'm the public

whether a great deal of il is just
talk.
Every day some wanted and
universal food product is sud-
denly pegged up in cost. maybe
a penny or two. maybe more.
But the biggest and most
monotonous increases are being
applied to meats. Stewing beef
costs now more than the price
of good sirloin year or more
ago.
RoastS, chops and steaks are
becoming a luxury. Most of the
average cuts of meat, even when
at so-called low prices, are eX-
pensive because Of the great
amount of waste IN bone and
fat. and now they are becoming
prohibitive TO families of av-

With the immense variety of
foods nowadays, prepared and
partially prepared, there is no
need TO be dependen' on any
particular food, no matter how
widely advertised or how COM
monty il has been accepted as
a satisfying and necessary food.
Many people could do without
meat or could use little meat to
advantage. Tor eSpe-
cially the middle-aged and old
should not indulge in too much
meat eating.
As for children and the
younger folks, a little meat of
good quality without bone or

Frank Knox
Reverses u. S.
Sea Policy
His Proposal Called
Costly Pecilous
BY HUGH $. JOHNSON

WITH true Japanese diffidence
w this miserable column re-
spectfully thinks that the Hon.
'orable Frank Knox ought 10
have his honorable head exam
med. He says that this country
should join with Great Britain
for perhaps 100 years to domi-
nate the ocean to insure freedom
of the seaS-and that this is an
ancient American doctrine.
The ancient American doc
trine bravely insisted upon by
us. as a small neutral nation,
was that no naval power should
interfere with our commerce on
the high seas with other neu-
trails or, except in case of an
actual and effective blockade
with our commerce, Cunless con-
traband of war; with bel
hgerent.
In case of an actual effective
blockade, we conceded. and we
made even Britain concede in
QUIZ war between the states,
that ships sunk in attempts to
crash IL created no cause for
war.
What we objected te-and
made our objection Stick-was
attempts 10 forbid commerce on
the seven seas by paper declara-
tons TO prevent our ships from
carrying on their normal COM
merce. In other words, we OBJ
jected to any dominion of all

able Knox now advocates for US
and Great Britain. His is a COM
plete reversal of our principles
and our doctrine.

What Honorable Knox pro-
poses Is American bankruptcy
but think what a magnificent
gesture il is. One would think
he were again running this
time for vice president of Great
Britain. OF course. there isn't
any such office and. if there
were. the canny British
wouldn't elect such squan-
