A NEW SLANT: Mr. Garner visiting Gov. Roosevelt and other Democratic folk in the east his it in mind to turn away wrath. It is a dehorning exhibition He quiets the money sense by assuring its possessors that he does not intend, to take property away from any tine. He has a little himself and he would think jt unkind of any one to want to take it away from him. He knows eastern people and has been ia accord with them for thirty years. He can team up with the ejfetern man. He apologized for the ißfection of Texas four years ago aand said he had no hand in it. Mr. Garner, it appears, :s a quiet and moderate man, conservative and biddable. You may observe him going down the street in his modest gray suit. He has looked at the sky to see if clouds threaten. If they do he has gone back tor his rubbers and liis umbrella. He passes the time of day and there is solid character in his port, an unassuming, dependable citizen. Reports that he is of a different temperament may be seen to be unfounded. They are palpably unuttachable to this little gray man, who does not raise his voice in any conversation. Fire eating? Absurd. He's as sound as a dollar and as prudent. He avoids violent discussion and violent opinions. He is a pillar of society and in fact has been suspected of a touch of tlie reactionary. If the Republicans set out to patch a range riding bucko in him they’ll find a vestryman. If they bill him as a wild radical they'll find a small town banker full of ideas of property rights and sound investments. . If the Democrats do not want to offend the candidate for Vice President they'll have to tone down and tame the whole campaign. Mr. Garner will not strike a note which could be heard in the next block. He’s the taxpayers’ friend, shunning the company of the wild jackasses. He rebukes the loose of .Speech He avoids all revolutionaries and radicals. He can smoke a cigar with any citizen of large affairs. The east can see that nisleading accounts have been given to him. Mr. Garner is so ordered in his ways and thoughts and speech that he makes Charlie Curtis a ball of fire. Codlin's the name, not Short.—Chicago Tribune.

The new law which reduces salaries and fees of the county treas- ; urers may and no doubt will be , helpful in some of the larger counties hut in those the size of Adams, 1 seems to us to be very unfair. Besides the ten per cent cut in sal- ’’ ary, the fees are reduced to such a t minimum that the treasurer here will receive less than *I.OOO net, al2 ter paying his deputy, which is too ,1 ' little for the grave responsibilities i aand the extra expenses which that ? officer must meet. Just why the » • were singled out for this ' economy we have not'heard but It certainly looks unfair on the face cf tacts at hand. Opinion over the state, from editorials in leading newspapers, indicates a feeling that the special session did some things of merit, but so many of the new laws will . have to be tested that it may be well to withhould a definite ver- ■ diet. It is hoped that the laws eni acted will work to advantage but i ways for providing additional rev- ■ enue for a few years, until debts are paid, will have to he dlscoveri cd. The regular session promises ■ to be an interesting one. Fred VatiNuys, Democratic candidate for United. States senator , against James E. Watson, is hand- ! ling the issues and his opponent without gloves. In speeches at Fort Wayne this week he told the voters his ideas and called upon merchant, farmer and laborer to support him in his fight for their rights as against special interests. John N. Garner believes the Democrats have the election “in the bag'' and that its going to take an unusually large sack to hold all the votes he and Mr. Roosevelt will receive. And now Charlie Curtis knows the worst —he was nominated again for vice president — the ceremony ot notification taking place yesteruay afternoon at Topeka. Kansas He accepted. They say the rain falls on the just and the unjust alike so we can't just figure why they have been getting showers all around us the past several weeks and we con- , tinue to go with "“our tongues out.” Will Rogers, usually right, is ! wrong in his theory that it would be better if none of the candidates for president, made any more talks. , The people should know what they stand for and how they propose to get it. I An Indianapolis judge has ruled that a woman has a right to smoke if her husband does. Suppose she has and she may also drink whiskey and chew tobacco but most husbands hope she won’t. Don't forget to take a look at the exhibits of the 4-H boys and girls now on in this city. They—both the youngsters and their exhibits —are well worth your time.

SYNOPSIS Young and beautifnl Patricia Braithwait adored her father so much that she was willing to sacrifice love and happiness to insure his future independence by marrying middle-aged Harvey Blaine for his wealth. It was Aunt Pamela who suggested that Pat marry wealth, warning that “the glamour of love wears off” Pamela spoke from experience: her own marriage to handsome Jimmie Warren, a young lawyer, was becoming dull. Jimmie, furious at Pat’s engagement, awakens to the realization that he. himself, cares for her. Pat, with youlh't optimism, hopes in vain that the young camper whom she only ksews as “Jack”, and saw only once, will rescue her from Blaine. Jimmie finds her in the garden, sobbing. He takes her in his arms and, ir. despair and hungry for love, she permits him to kiss her. Next day Pat breaks her engagement. Pamela is suspicious when, immediately following Pat’s broken engagement, Jimmie offers to loan Pat money to study art. Pat's father is delighted with Jimmie’s art study suggestion. CHAPTER THIRTEEN To let Patricia and her father take twenty-five or even fifty thousand dollars meant no sacrifice to Warren, as Pam knew. Nor to her. She herself would have offered it out of her own pocket if she had found any pretext upon which to nang it so as to protect the pride of hei arrogant old relative. She was deeply attached to him. As a small girl living on the adjoining plantation before her father had become > power in Wall Street, John Braithwait, then childless, had lavished upon the little Pamela an affection second only to that given his own tardy Patricix That this love had been undimmed by the years, unimpaired by separation, Pamela knew. Moreover, she realized the rare beauty of such love; its scarcity in that brilliant world in which she moved. And she treasured it. To make him a present of enough to secure his future in luxury was the thing she should have liked most to do; but, realizing its impossibility, she had taken the conventional way of rehabilitating his fallen fortunes through his daughtei. According to the philosophy of her world, this was a highly justifiable means to the desired end. She pitied the child; but her mind had leaped to the end when Patricia herself would come forth in security and gratitude for her relative’s wisdom That Warren had seen away out which obviated the sacrifice of the gir! would, under other circumstances, have greatly relieved Pamela's none too happy feeling over her own achievement. But, that he had done so without taking her into his confidence; that he was furthermore in Patricia’s confidence —a confidence Pat had not given Pam—and, that he was miring himself in lies over so simple a matter as Pat’s broken engagement, made the sudden breaking of that engagement, together with his cleverly devised and concealed generosity, devastatingly significant to the woman who but yesterday, secure in his love, had found that love lacking in adventrre. It might be that Mr. Braithwait was too clean minded, too unsophisticated in experience to suspect any ulterior motive in Warren’s generous offer; but Pamela Warren was the product of a sophisticated world, and, that her husband’s interest in her lovely young cousin was rather more than his own relation to her justified, was all too clear. Os all this the calm beautiful face of the woman gave no sign. If in Mr. Braithwait’s world the sin

of sins was the absence of Beauty; in Pamela’s, it was the evidence of human emotion. Not for a moment did she susi pect Patricia of guilty participation in Warren’s obvious plans. She i was not the type of good woman i who suspects every other woman ' of evil. She knew Patricia for the 1 clean-mindc-d girl she was. But re- . calling the child's comment concerning Jimmie’s eligibility and looks, which she, Pamela, had looked upon as the modern girl’s way of appearing superior, she now saw that, unknown to Patricia herself, she was distinctly attracted by : Jimmie. And Pamela was amazed i by the sense of desolation, the tearing pain and fear that possessed her. Young girls were, she knew, i given to “crushes”. This was not of itself a serious matter, even if Pat ' fancied herself in love with Jimmie. . But with him actively responsive, her “crush” immediately became a menace. “That Patricia could have considered such a marriage,” Mr. Braithwait was saying—“even for a moment, distresses me, Pamela,” The distress in his fine old eyes tore her. She explained to him how the affair had come about, taking the entire blame and feeling suddenly ashamed under his grieved gaze. “You, Pamela?” he said. "No, Cousin John. Not I; but the world I live in.” “No, not the world you live in, but the false conceptions you live in. Don’t you see, my dear, that there are no blind alleys such as you evidently felt we were in when you advised my child to commit moral suicide as her only road to life? Don’t you see that there are always other roads if we but keep our vision clear ? The reason I didn’t see the way out of our difficulties was because I was blinded by the false conception of a tradition in our family which forebade our women to earn their own living. That out of the way, my road was clear.” “Then Patricia approves the idea?” asked Warren, making an effort to keep the eagerness out of his voice. “She was delighted. Surprisingly, she had been thinking for some time of broaching the subject to me, without knowing of my finan-

cial situation, or that there was or 1 might be any need for such a step. In fact, thinking I would disapprove, she had it in mind, the little minx, to wait until we were alone on the plantation, then hammer at me until, to get rid of her hair””ering, I'd agree. But upon discovering, as she thought, my financial inability to help her, she had renounced her secret dream as among the impossibilities. I suppose that was when she gave her consent to that unthinkable step, which, thank heaven, she at once saw in its true fight.” A slow tell-tale red stained Warren’s fair face. “Well, it’s fine that you are agreed.” ’’Enthusiastically agreed. I felt as if a great weight had been lifted from my heart. We have decided to bring our stay in Florida to a close. In fact I shall probably leave for the plantation tomorrow if you and Pamela will be good enough to look after my little girl for a couple of weeks. It shouldn’t take me longer than that. As soon as I can wind up a few necessary affairs at home, I’ll have Patricia meet me in New York. We will sail at once for Paris.” “Paris!” Warren’s color fled. “But why Paris! She can get excellent teachers in New York. At least in the beginning.” “True. But you see, my dear Warren, by living abroad she can not only have the best instruction from the first; but we can live comfortably for perhaps half the cost.” “But,” protested Warren, “I hope you aren’t thinking of the cost as a serious item. It’s understood you are to have whatever you require, Mr. Braithwait.” “No, it wasn’t understood. At least by me. And while both Patricia and I appreciate.your generosity, the cost would inevitably be an item. If we borrowed from you, the debt would be hanging over Patricia’s head for payment eventually. As it happens, I’m proud to say we won’t find it necessary to accept your offer. I have fifteen thousand dollars insurance, fully paid, which I can draw upon demand. Living abroad, and on a different scale, it is ample to carry us for several years. I dare say two thousand a year will keep us in moderate comfort. In seven years Patricia will undoubtedly have found herself.” (To Be Continuer!) C 1932. bj King Features Syndicate. Inc.
