Jacoby shook his head. He fun
bled for words. He said, II watched
you for many days. I fought bat
tie. I cannot say it well. Perhaps
IN English cannot say it at all.
You are a man, Kit, but also you
are mankind. You must live. You
must want to live. You must-do you
understand me?" He spoke so in
tensely that he was almost fierce.
Kilt he exclaimed, "let us tryI"
Though he did not realize it then,
Arthur remembered later that his
own resistance was gradually being
worn away by the power of Jacoby's
determination. AS time went on, he
came to recognize the enthusiasm
Jacoby was feeling. He had felt it
himself when there was some al
most impossible job to be tackled.
If ! can do this, can do anything"
He knew what it meant to roll up
his sleeves, saying that.
What he did not realize at the
time was that this was not what ia
CODY was saying. Jacoby was say
ing to himself, IF he can do this,
I can do anything"
The first time he began to under
stand that Jacoby was not merely a
cold scientist was the day when ia

They were not poor, he was hard
working, intelligent and capable
man, but it satisfied some deep
sadistic vein in Francie to complain
prettily to her friends of poverty.
my dear, that's for rich people.
Bob and I can't afford anything like
that. 1t would be lovely, but poor
folks can't be choosers," said Fran
Gle, for IL long years. Her pretty
home, her car, her generous share
of the good things Of life meant
nothing to her. Wifely consideration
and generosity were nowhere. For
the seven long years of their mar
riage Francie argued very definite
ly and firmly that they could not
afford child.

marriage came for Bob, who now
has nurseryful of small children.

Human life is change and move
ment. Spiritual life is change and
movement, too. Unless you are con-
tinually examining your marriage,
studying your part in it, thinking of
the ways you yourself may change,
in mind, soul and body, to make
yourself sweeter and dearer to
those near to you, your marriage
may 60 dead.
A woman my age often looks back
with regret to the vagaries of her
younger years, the unnecessary
things she wanted, the foolish laws
she laid down, the things she posi-
lively couldn't do" Too late she
learns how little she really needed
for happiness, how useless the laws
were, how many of the "impos-
sible" things she had to do. But
how much prayer and thought and
study young wife needs, to keep
her marriage from Telling!

CODY came to his bedside with a
slip of paper and a pencil.
"Kitt, if you will tell me-spel it
slowly-the name of the woman you
kept talking to when you were de-
irious-?"
Arthur groaned. His impulse was
to grip Jacoby's hand, but he could
not do this. He could only say, "Ja-
CODY, be merciful! If you've made
up your mind to do this to me I
can't stop you. But don't do it to
her."
Without looking at Arthur, Jacoby
said, II thought it might be possible
to get her a message. Through the
Red Cross"
Arthur did not answer. After a
pause Jacoby asked,
"You do not want to tell me who
she is?"
Arthur said, "She is my wife"
Jacoby turned his head toward
the bed then, involuntarily. He knew
no words to speak and even if he
had been using his own language
there could have been nothing to
say so eloquent as the pity he could
not keep out of his eyes.
He crumpled the slip of paper in
his fist. There was a silence. At
length Jacoby said, very we'll"
He turned and went away.
But in the depth of his own de-
spair Arthur felt stir of astonished
warmth. 1.-THE man is a human be-
ing. There are some things even he
can't take without shudder."
After that, slowly but unmistak-
ably, he began to discover that ia
CODY wanted to be his friend. He
began, dimly at first, through those
days and nights of desolation, to
grasp what Jacoby had meant when
he said, "You are man, but also
you are mankind" 1t was a hard
realization, and at first he was doubt
full that it had any meaning. He
can make me stay alive" Arthur
said to himself YEARLY. But can
he make me find any reason for do
ing it? Can anybody? l don't be-
lieve it."
Jacoby came back to his bedside
often. He never again mentioned
the woman Arthur had called for in
his delirium. But there was more
work on the arm, more on the jaw;
the rest had to wait on the patients
strength and the doctors opportuni-
ties. Arthur still had very little
hope. Now that he understood ia
coby's purpose, he tried to sympa-
thize with it, but he found this hard
to do.
For after all, even after years of
labor and pain, even with the highest
success, what was the utmost Jaco-
by could give him? Power to use
his right arm; power to sit up and
write a letter; possibly, after long
time, power to hobble from place to
place with a crutch. Power to look
on hopelessly while healthy men and
women went ahead with their
healthy affairs. doing useful work

GRAVY MAKING

Cookery calls for expert gravy
making. Though gravy must often
be made the last thing before serv-
ing the meal, it pays to take time
to measure carefully, mix thorough
ly, and cook slowly with steady stir
ring.
For best flavor and rich brown
color, blend the flour with the fat.
Then slowly add cool or lukewarm
liquid, while stirring over low heat.
The right proportions are: III to 2
tablespoons each of -four and fat to
l cup of liquid.

FRANKFURT, Sep. .i.-In q move to smash black marketing by American soldiers, the U. s. army has announced it will issue scrip next Tuesday in lieu of Allied marks as the legal tender in all post exchanges and other military establishments in the American zone of Germany.
 Unofficial reports said that mill lions of dollars obtained through black market operations have been sent back to the states by Ameri- can soldiers and civilians in the past IS months.

The nations shipping remains tied-up as tight as ever, but the issue has now become a clear-cut demand for more pay on the part of the CIO National Maritime un- ion; the strike against the govern ment is over and so is the shcrt- lived comradeship of the AFL and CIO unionists.
 CIO seamen today shouldered the prolonged shipping strike, but in one instance AFL longshoremen, who had supported fellow AFL mariners until their walkout end- ed yesterday, crossed CIO picket lines.
 About 30 members of the Inter national Longshoremen's Associa- ton walked through a National Maritime Union picket line at New York City pier Thare was no disturbance.
 However. about 200 longshoremen at the pier refused to go to work, despite ILA President Joseph R. Ryar's plea that:
 There's no need here for a pick ct line. Come on, if you want days pay, go in and get it.
