fiercely. She added more softly:

Something like a sigh of relief
seemed to stir in the room. Elsa
stood firmly, defiantly before Rog-
ers, flanked by Reed Barton. Berta
sat forward in her seat, an eagerness
in her manner, something trembling
on her lips. Rogers asked, "Who
was the mother, Elsa?"
Aunt Kitty!"

said Berta quickly.
"Of course, senora," Rogers
turned to her.
There are some things should
TELL" she began in her precise Eng
fish. ELSA does not know I know
these facts; my husband did not
know had so much knowledge. But
my cousin, Maria Mendez, who is a
nurse at the hospital, told me. Aunt
Kitty's child was born in the hos
pital here at Mazatlan. She came
secretly here, wanting to be near
her brother, and yet for some
strange reason not telling him she
was even in the town until after the
child was born.
Later, on a steamer day, she
sent word, pretending that she had
come ashore for the few hours the
steamer stopped. She explained the
child by saying its mother had died
at sea and she expected to adopt it.
Sam went to see her," Berta went
on rapidly, a deep fire in her eyes.
"She would not come to the rancho.
because of me. She would not even
permit him to tell me anything
about her being here at the time.
Only after Maria had told me later
something of what had happened,
did l learn about it from Sam. But
he made me promise never to talk
of it. Things, of course"-she ges-
tured vehemently with her small,
ivory-tinted hands-"are different
now. 1t is time to talk"
"You are right, Sonora Chatfield,"
said Rogers. ut is time to talk. ="
He turned to Elsa, questioning look
in his mild blue eyes, and seemed
to wait for some word from her.

a sort of fascination gripped her.

ers with a faint smile, what I
might find concealed in this thing"
He twisted at the knob. It was the
wrong way. He reversed the pres
sure, and the knob slipped slightly
like a screw. To my amazement
he pulled the knob loose from the
handle of the quirt, drawing with it
from its concealment long, thin
bladed knife of finely tempered
steel.
"You must have had a very great
provocation that morning to muir
der" Rogers voice hardened a
trife.
More than you realize" Elsa
flashed. She seemed to stand tall
er, her gray eyes turned full upon
Rogers.
IF I had to guess what that provo
cation was" began Rogers, as if he
were feeling his way into a dark
room and would welcome a light,
II should hazard that it had some
thing to do with the picture of you
and the baby" He paused for a
fraction of second, as if giving
Elsa an opportunity to speak, then
went on: 1.-THE child bore a very
strong likeness to Jimmy the
Cheese. I assume that he was the
father"
"You are correct" said Elsa with
dignity.
George Rumble, after the picture
Of you and the child appeared in
the paper, told me something which
rather cleared him of any intent of
wrongdoing," Rogers went on. "He
said he first saw that picture of you
and the baby at your Aunt Kitty's.

pendent when all this is over. But
l wish I could have those lost years
back. to share Georges responsible
ties better than l did, to keep ex-
penses down, to keep home the hap
Ply place it might have been, instead
OF the scene of so much worrying
and pickering. l wish l could see
my boy just once, to tell him how
much happier and wiser we are
now,"
4 Life is going to be changed for us
all, make sure of that. We are not
going to rejoice in an armstice as
we did Is years ago, and go back
serenely to the old ways 1t has to
be a better world, now, a safer
place for us all. We will have to
assume some of the responsibility
for making and keeping it so.
Thousands on thousands of women
making big salaries today will be
out of work. Taxes will soar, for we
are counting on the care of a million
injured men. Anything that you are
buying on the inStallment plan will
be badly wanted by someone else,
and your failure to pay up promptly
will mean that you lose it. To face
postwar conditions with a load of
debt, to start right in complaining
and worrying when the boys come
home, will mean being a bad citizen,
an American who is dragging down
the struggling nation rather than
holding it up.
We can do our returning soldiers
no greater service than to meet
them with good news. The house is
paid for; we've bought little farm;
we don't owe anyone a cent. We're
all in good health. we've a pound of
butter in the icebox, and we're all
ready to enjoy the better times with
you, when they come along.
Service Men Want Normal Life,
Our boys don't want to come home
to any troubles or any complaining
at all. They don't want to hear any
bad news. They'll be tired and de-
moralized, and sick of troubles. The
one thing We can do for them is
to be normal, to have serenity and
books, good table talk, confidence
and affection waiting: to convince
them that the towns to which they
come home are the most prosperous
and contented in the world
Your share of that, however small,
is very important. If you don't do
your share, your soldier will have
right to feel badly treated, when
he comes home.
So clean house If the family is
quarrelsome, get out of the quar-
reling habit. If there are unpaid
bills, settle them. If there is grief
to bear, remember that when he
finds you quietly cheerful, more in
tcrcsted in the welfare Of the liv-
ing than in mourning for the dead,
his own heart will feel an uplift
he will love you all the more.
Two brothers went out from the
house next to mine two years ago:
one came home last month. The
whole family dreaded his lone re-
turn; but after the first moment ev-
erything went smoothly, and his
leave was happy one
Il found out what dad and moth
er and sisters I've got," he told me.
Courage and faith and love like that
are something to come home to!'
