mody and William Ryan have one
thing in common-they're crazy
over horses in particular and ami
mails in general"
Miss Carmody Is head OF the
complaint department OF the Amer
lean Society for the Prevention 10
Cruelty TO Animals, and Ryan is a
field worker. She has been with
the society for 81 years and he
has been with 1t for 32 years-a
grand total of So years.
THE contrast between the kinds
OF cruelty we combatted in 1907,
and the types complained of now
are striking" said Miss Carmody.
The motor truck has replaced the
horse except for short haul work.
A few companies handling laun-
dries. paper boxes, milk and bread.
and a limited number OF hucksters
still use horses.
Few Dog Fights
where there were $4,000 We
now have perhaps 5000 including
riding academies. Besides ailisg
horses. we used to have many dog
and cock fights to deal with. For
tunately this cruel type of so-called
sport is not so common in the New
York area as formerly, due to the
many convictions that society has
obtained
Now very common complaint
is that a dog has been left locked
in an apartment and is barking
out OF hunger, thirst, desire for
liberty, or just loneliness, A lone
ly dog. however, is lot better off
than a dog which has been beaded
into a fight to the death by n
bunch OF gamblers. | think we
have made progress. People now
have a much better understanding
Of the care Of animals than they
had in 1907, and are more ready
to cooperate In preventing acts OF
neglect and cruelty"
Knew About Horses
When Ryan showed up for his
first day of work with the A. S.
P. C. A. in 1912. he was lad CT
10 with a thorough knowledge OF
horses gained in part from his
father. who was coachman. He
had comparatively little knowledge
Of other animals. When he went
out to pick up dogs and cats with
a fellow field worker, he found the
smaller animals something OF a
problem.

rebuild their own lives according TO
their own lights, hopes and aspira-

their future is brighter than their
present can possibly be.
That is the prime issue in this

Tom Dewey has just cause to
complain of the flippancy with
which Mr.. Roosevelt addressed him
and the American people last Sat.
urday night. No man has right
to be as sure of the people as Mr.
Roosevelt seems 10 be. This cleo
tion involves not merely the choice
OF a president but an accounting
OF the four years stewardship OF
the office and an appraisal OF the
fitness of the opponent. Mr.. Roose'
velt's tone is that anyone who
opposes him Is just plain dumb
and that he can refuse TO discuss
his career in office, the success OF
failure OF his administration, hts
policies and plans for the future
and devote himself merely TO call
ing his adversary some generally
polite synonyms for liar.
That is not good enough. Quite
apart from anything Dewey said.
Franklin ID. Roosevelt. as candi-
date for the presidency, should
in his first speech. II he desired TO
discuss foreign policy, have answ-
cred these questions:
/. What is the nature OF Amer
ican commitments as arranged at
Cairo. Teheran and Quebec; Bret
ton Woods and Dumbarton Oaks?
2. To what extent Is this coun-
try committed as to money, tariffs,
government-arranged international
cartels, participation quotas in for
eign markets, etc?
3. Is Lend-Lease to be continu-
ed after the war and what is his
plan?
4. Is the United States to par.
ticipate in world policing and 10
what extent?
| do not express opinions as to
what Mr.. Roosevelt ought to say
about any OF these items, but it
would be right and dignified II
Roosevelt discussed any one OF
them. Instead he talked OF Fala
and hilariously ridiculed Dewey
whose reply Monday night must
have made the President feel cheap
II he listened 10 his opponent. Fala

for freeing the country from the
burden OF taxation which is now

dey." 1t was almost protest. Even
as he spoke he felt vaguely angry
at his own clumsy resentment, yet
something in him refused TO accept
that Selkirk was going to marry
this woman VINO sat beside him in
the plane. She couldn't be more
than twenty-five, and Selkirk was
fifty-two.
Women, so far as Colin knew, had
never held place in the life of that
gentle, retiring man; and, watching
her, Colin wondered what strange
wind had blown athwart Selkirk's
life since he had gone. Would she
bring him happiness, or would she
hurt him! Or was she only seeking
a haven? Again he looked at that
vivid, many-colored hair and those
strange eyes.

me-" she accused.
"I was thinking about Rodney.
This marriage comes as a sur
prise" He felt himself drawing
away from her and, to distract her
attention, pointed toward the sky
line, where, in a great V, flock of
ducks few south. "The end Of the
mating season." he murmured, and
wondered il the words sounded
ironic.
Well, Trina Meredith wasn't his
problem. His problem was what
Jonathan Dove would do. Turning
from her, he watched the frozen
ground beneath them. Dove would
take the first scheduled plane for
Learmonth-that would be a week
from now, maybe ten days. Ten
= days respite at most. Not much,
but IL he worked fast and had good
luck it might be enough. And after
that, after Dove reached Lear
month, it would be another story
it might not even be safe to stay.

across the sky, telling Of wind, and
perhaps snow. Rae leaned forward.

about a half hour. Trouble is
that's just where the storm is CEN
tering." He saw the anxiety in her
eyes and asked, What do you want
TO do?"
"Turn back. That's the wisest
thing"
His face mirrored his disappoint-
ment--to turn back .ow and fly into
Doves arms. BLAIR" he said, at

SYNOPSIS

Seeking to elude mysterious pur-
suers, Colin Rae, of the Hendrik's
Bay Company, took refuge in the
hotel room of an attractive young
woman in Winnipeg. Canada. He
promised plane transportation to
Learmonth where they have a mu-
tual friend, Rodney Selkirk. She
concealed Colin, bravely barring
self-styled police" from her room.
Then they observed a small, be-
specialized man standing across the
street. "Once I heard him called
the most dangerous man in Can
ada" said Colin. The girl identified
herself as Trina Meredith. Soon
they succeeded in escaping to a
local airport where they met Blair
Benedict near her small airplane.
There was a brief, joyous reunion
between Colin and Blair before the
plane took off with Blair at it's
wheel. En- route to the airport,
Colin had told Trina that the So
called most dangerous man" was
Jonathan Dove who conducted two
Indian schools, one in Leszmonth,
the other in Wolverine. While Ay-
ing, Colin talked TO Trina of his life
at Learmonth and its fur trapping
activities. She has just astonished
him by saying that she is going 10
marry Rod" Selkirk. His comment
was a blunder:
