blossoms. He dropped from the
saddle, led his horse into the shelter
of some eucalyptus and left him. If
there was any one. on this side Of
the creek he must know it.
Low bushes grew thick along the
bank and Towering vine, sprawl
ing over them, hotted them togeth-
er. Sherwin could not see far into
the dense green shadows, but he
found an opening and slipped on
among the spreading branches,
dropped to the messy ground and
looked between close-set roots and
stems toward the smooth glimmer
that was the creek. It was still.
There was no sound but James
voice; she was singing softly to her
self. At first it seemed as If the
swinging Dough must have been a
Pigment Of imagination, but Sherwin
knew better. There was no wind
who swung that bough? He waited,
holding his breath, for suddenly it
came to him that danger threatened
Jane. Disarmed by Jim's fixed idea
that Jordan had gone they had
grown careless; no one was within
call. The shadow in the brush was
dark, but the sunlight on the water
beyond cut clear outlines. Sherwin
became aware Of a stealthy sound
close to the edge of the creek. He
stopped lower and discerned a
crouching figure; a man was crawl
ing on his hands and knees toward
the water. AS he dropped lower to
pass under a Dough, his head was
silhouetted against the light and
Sherwin knew hint was the rus
tier, Jordan! Instinctively, Sher-
wins hand went to his revolver,
then it dropped. He dared not shoot.
The creek was narrow here and
Jane was too near. A miss, and!
He must get the man from behind,
pinion his arms, drag him, if need
be, into the water and drown him.
Softly he crept after the skulker.
There was little sound except the
occasional cracking of a twig, and
Jordan, making similar sounds, did
not seem to notice them. The two
crept on, the first almost at the wa
ter's edge, the second almost near
enough to grasp the crawling legs in
front. James voice rose just oppo-
site, singing a Spanish song. Sher-
win stretched out his hand and al.
most got the ankle nearest him;
then, suddenly, Jordan faced about
and saw him, uttered an oath and
plunged into the water, swimming
straight for the girl on the opposite
side. In an instant, Sherwin OWNED
his plan-he meant to get Jane and
dictate his own terms to Jiml He
knew that Sherwin could not shoot
and endanger the girl. But Sherwin
broke through tangle of vines,
plunged into the creek and swan
after him. Still, the other man had
the advantage. As Sherwin struck
the water, Jordan leaped out on the
other side and was after the girl.
Jane did not run. She faced her
pursuer and tried to fight him of,
but Jordan's arms were around her
and he had lifted her from the
! ground when Sherwin came up out

Rosamond's mother. "The man
admits to At; Rosamond is al
most 10. She says she will be
married on her birthday. He
has been married before; he has
sons older than she is; he must
depend on her small fortune, for
he has none of his own, and no
job, and yet she is completely
infatuated with him, and moth
ing her grandmother and I can
say is of any USE"
Well, poor Rosamond must be
left to her fate, if she feels like
that, and allowed to ruin her life in
her own way. We parents can't
save our children from their follies.
If love and advice and example
have no effect, then sometimes they
have to be allowed to go over the
whirlpool and swim to shore after
ward as best they may.
But I'd like to know more of Rosa
mond's background, and satisfy my
suspicion that something was lack
ing in her training, that she can be
so utterly beyond influence and
control now. Where did her mother
fail her? Somewhere, you may be
very sure.
AS for seeing things in youth as
we see them a few years later
how different this world would be if
we could! How many miserable
young mistakes would be avoided,
how much we could save ourselves!
Older persons try to advise hot
headed youth; it is the tragedy of
all the generations in turn that hot
headed youth never will listen.
Now Wants Baby Back.
Marie Louise, a college girl in
our town, went on certain free-and-
easy house-parties a few years ago
and did "what all the others did"
In other words she entered into a
love-affair with man she hard
ly knew and didn't care about par
ticularly. The result was a heart
broken family in Minnesota, to
which she returned in disgrace, and
a small baby's concealed arrival
and hasty disposition for adoption.
The girl married, discovered that
she could not have more children,
and went to the town where her
child lived She saw small, fairy
like little girl with wistful, search
that her foster-parents weren't too
kind to her. And the mother was
helpless! She came back home, as
she had come in the beginning, to
reproach me for having advised
adoption. And yet adoption, in
these cases, certainly gives baby
better chance than to be raised
by an unmarried mother and
marked with the still unacceptable
stigma of illegitimacy.
This was the girl who told me
that irregular sex relations in her
school days didn't concern anyone
but herself!
Then there is Betty, another
childless young mother, who had
silly quarrel with her brother, when
they were young. Just few hot
words about the girl he loved, and
eventually married, and there was
a barrier between them forever.
Pride on neither side would break
down, and can't break down, even
now, when they need each other
so. For Jim has been widowed, and
has two small girls to raise, and
Betty lost her husband in the war,
and is hungry for maternal cares.
Just phrase of apology and regret
would have ended this, 10 years ago;
