Adult education gives an individual a sense of his own importance, and through that an awakening to his responsibility to his group aud away to help in his own community. Viewed thus, adult education has a wide appeal. Nearly everyone could take a little of it with consequent benefit to himself, his family aud perhaps bis neighborhood. v — u

While this country may not relish the job of controlling part of Germany, most Americans will admit that we cannot withdraw our troops liecause of the presence of Russia. The Journal -Gazette takes u similar position on the problem, remarking, "Nothing would please Russia more than to have the United States sicken' of tlie German mess and withdraw military and financial support Human and natural resources then could be exploited to the fullest." o o

To maintain this freedom, it has been necessary to wage war iu sup |s>rt of the principles embodied in the Constitution, and even those who refuse to take up arms in defense of their country, are the liencficiariea of the privileges enjoyed.

CH AIT EK THIRTY “YOU THOUGHT you had me. Bogard,” Claribcl grinned at Cliff, "but this old pachyderm still keeps a few tricks up her sleeve. Madison, bring ua some sherry." She sighed in complete satisfaction. "Haven’t had such a good game since Bob Norman used to play with us. There was a player with imagination.” She chuckled. “Bob never let a convention stand In his way, and I used to wonder whether we were playing bridge or poker. But he had ideas." She ceased, lost in memories, then, "Yea, and his ideas were all good, whether it was at bridge, or medicine, or the best way to dig a ditch.” Cliff cast a quick glance at Janet. Her cycu, fixed on the matriarch's, were quietly wistful, as it the words brought back a picture of her father. Cliff turned again to ClartbeL “Dr. Norman must have been a remarkable man. The river people speak of him as if he were a saint.” Claribcl nodded. “He was a remarkable man—and in his way he was a saint. He had to be, to get along with me. Even at that, we fought many a pitched battle, but he was the one man I really trusted. I wouldn't be the battered old recluse I am today if he were alive. He would have found some way of stopping these grisly headaches." She was on the point of saying more, but Madison returned with the sherry. Claribcl seemed genuinely disappointed when Janet and CHit left for the Ityig ride back to camp. "I think we’ll start a weekly game,” she told Madison. “They can come up to dinner.” Madison laughed. "What makes you think Bogard will be here long enough to make it worth starting?” "What makes you think he won’t?” “Because I want you to cancel his contract.” Claribcl looked up In surprise. “Why should I?” “He hasn’t a dog’s chance to deliver his rubber on time, and you'll never get a cent from him once he goes broke. Meanwhile, he's Heeding your plantations for nothing.” The old lady eyed her nephew shrewdly. “Madison, the trouble with you is you're letting personal dislike get the best of you." “Am I? Then I’m not alone. My vaqueroa don't care for Bogard and his gang any more than I do—if you persist in letting him stay, 1 won't be responsible.” Claribcl gathered up the cards. “Bogard is doing his best to make good. He's honest, and he's a tighter. And what's more. I like him." "I noticed It." Madison's voice had sharpened. "Strange how women go for those big, dumb animals. Old and young both—" "So that's it!” Clarite I'a chuckle interrupted. "Youva caught on at last that Janet likes him too!” She became suddenly serious. “Madison. why don't yo>- give it up? You made a perfect fool of yourself tonight over her. You’ve been making a fool of yourself for years. Janet will never marry you—especially not now when Bogard's In the picture. You're only making yenma unimppy aad a intis absurd. Give her up." and “ “Bo I’m absurd, am I?" Mis

nroke it up once netore between Janet and me—don’t ever try it again. This time it will take more than Bogard and you to keep me away from her.” He stopped. Every Inch of his diminutive body was twitching and for a moment Claribcl looked at him; then, turning, she went slowly up the stairs. Events favored Cliff through the heartbreaking weeks of building up another cargo of rubber. First, in answer to his cable, Washington allowed him a month’s extension on the delivery date, but added the warning that further delay must mean the termination ot his contract Cliff threw the cable over to his construction foreman. “Two strikes on us, Casey,” he commented. "Next time it's the doghouse permanently." A second factor favorable to Cliff was leas understandable, and for a time he regarded It with suspicion—within a week after the disaster to his barges a doaen Blackland families offered their services as rubber gatherers, first among them being the ataiwait sons of Don Antonio. “I'm wandering if there’s a booby trap in this," he confided to Casey. "Why should those people ruin one cargo for us and then offer to help gather another?” Casey shrugged. "At riddles I'm no good. But those birds know the country, and with a little trailin' they'll make fine gatherers, so I'm all for takin’ ’em on—our Job's to get another cargo together." "And then watch it like hawks,” Cliff amended. Madison had not been down to camp since the day his vaquero had been beaten, and his absence was a welcome relief to Cliff; he had no«love -or Claribel's diminutive nephew, and he knew Madison had even less for him, so when Cliff found him sitting In the office late one evening, he was certaian It was no social visit Madison's first words proved that Visibly excited, he barely waited until Cliff entered the room. "I wonder if you know that the Blacklanders are getting eet to raid you?” be demanded. Slowly Cliff answered. "No, 1 didn't" “Well, they are. This afternoon I beard that they’re gathering their riders from all over the Blacklands to run you out One gang is to Jump your crews in the plantations while the ethers raid this camp." Madison looked expectantly at Cliff, -but getting no response, went on. "You told me once pretty confidently that your men could take care of themselves Do you still think they can?" "How many men can lite Black landers raise?” "Nobody knows.” Cliff walked the length of the office. So his suspicions about a booby trap had not been idle! By employing the Blackland rubber gatherers he had played into their hands—they knew now Just where lie was most vulnerable. And he was vulnerable enough—he could dstend his headquarters camp, but up tn the plantations were docks and bridges. tho*isaads of pounds of smoked rubber, and more than a hundred cabins, all sc scattered they were impossible tn nrctatf. Worse still. CUff knew that at the Grat sign of oonfiict half Ms naend of everything.
