Nancy Is strangely attracted to him.

Nancy first saw Eric Nelson striding down Sycamore Hill. He was a stranger. He looked like a Viking, golden-haired, blue-eyed, his dog at his heels. She would never forget the picture he made, swinging along, Ia flaming September sun making him stand out, fine drawn. He made her think of the wind. The seat She imagined him standing on the deck of a ship, legs apart, head back to a fury of storm-dashed spray. There was a compelling vitality about him. She thought if he had whistled to her as he did to his dog she, too, would have followed, running . . . Blood rushed into her cheeks. Their eyes met. Nancy turned her head away, but she was telling herself that she MUST find out who he was and wfcat he was doing therd. Even in that momentary glimpse she had recognized his strength. His fineness! Nancy was on her way to Edith Harcourt’s, at the top of Sycamore Hill. The Harcourt house, with Its white, fluted pillars, was the pride of the little town. William Harcourt had made a fortune In oil. His only child was a pretty, listless girl, the product of her sheltered life. After her mother’s death, when Edith was 14, she had become the mistress of her father's home, although Mary Donnelly, who cookc .i for them for years, was really the housekeeper. When Edith finished high school her father planned to send her away, but she had persuaded him to let her stay at home for a year. She wasn’t very strong. She liked to lounge around in negligees and read. And when she wept and begged to remain at home William Harcourt had weakened. He was presiI dent of the First National. Bank, owner of the gas and electric company and chief stockholder in the Champion Plow Factory, but the tears of his little daughter reduced him to a spineless imbecility. He was Incapable of refusing her anything. If he were surprised at the intimacy between Edith and the daughter of one of the mechanics at the factory, he voiced no disapproval. “So long as the child was happy” he was not the man to put clumsy hands upon her heart.... and the friendship had proved mutually satisfactory.

Edith was never quite so bored when Nancy was around. Nancy was thrilled and stimulated by Edith’s atmosphere. Even today when she was so anxious to inquire about the new man she appreciated the cheerful warmth of the Harcourt living room. Firelight rosily, the-old square piano, with Its beaten silver candlesticks. A book with a dull blue cover was dropped carelessly upon the gate-legged table. The spinet desk held a small, framed photograph •of Edith’s mother. Beside this, although it was September, stood a* silver bowl of violets. Nancy threw back her coat and sighed. "How comfortable you look. I suppose you’ve been reading all afternoon." "You’re wrong, darling. I’ve been entertaining a most interesting ,i man.” Caution veiled the eagerness in Nancy’s eyes. "Not' the handsome male I met striding down the hill?” "I imagine so. There couldn’t be two such good-looking ones in town at the same time!” Nancy stooped to sniff the fragrance of the flowers. "Who is he, Edith?” “The new manager of the gas and electric company. Not so bad? Hugh? Especially while the home guard is off being educated.” “I’ll say not,” Nancy agreed carelessly. "He- really came to see Father," adni’ted Edith. “But Dad had left for the country so I did my best. Tell you what, Nancy, I’ll ask you both to dinner some night. Honestly, he’s the most interesting man I’ve met in a long time.” Even as she accepted Nancy was planning to wear the flame-colored dress. It was old, but it was potent. .. .And as she stood before Eric Nelson color surged into her cheeks to match the gowri. • His blue eyes studied her appreciatively.

"Didn’t I see you yesterday as I was walking down Sycamore Hill?” "Yes!" she faltered. Her usual poise and self-confi-dence had deserted her. At dinner it was Edith who talked, Edith who teased and Joked, with little bursts of laughter, who sparkled ai.J dimpled at the men like a mischievous child. * Nancy, sitting dumbly across the table, thought she had never seen her friend so vivacious. Not a trace of languor in Edith tonight. While Nancy, who had originated many of the clever remarks the other girl was "springing” sat quietly, forced into silence by the excited, riotous tumult of her heart . . . Afterward while the men were

AIRMEN CROSS DANGER ZONE, REACHTOKIO Brock and Schfee Make 650-Mile Hop Over Typhoon Area of Orient. LAND IN RAIN STORM Windsor Fliers Turn Back After Mourning Victims 1 of Atlantic. By United Prett TOKIO, Sept. 14.—William 8. Brock and Edward F. Bchlee, round-the-world fliers, today reached Kasumlgaura flying field, near Tokio, after a 650-mlle flight from Omura in the typhoon-ravaged Island of Kyushu. The airmen left Omuru at 6:30 a. m. They arrived at Kasumigaura at 2:55 p. m. (12:55 a. m. eastern standard time.) Brock and Schlee made a safe landing with their monoplane, Pride of Detroit, despite heavy rains which swept Tokio and vicinity. Arrival of the aviators removed concern occasioned by reports of severe storms which held the Pride of Detroit in Omura since they were forced to land there Sunday while flying from Shaghal to Tokio. Brock and Schlee reaffirmed their intention to attempt a flight across the Pacific 1 by way of the Midway Islands. They expressed the hope that they would be able to start at Dawn Friday. Neither Brock nor Schlee seemed to be Impressed by the conviction of most persons here that an attempt to fjy from hefe to the United States in a land plane would be suicidal. Drop Wreath and Return ST. JOHNS, N. F„ Sept. 14,-The monoplane Royal Windsor, In which Pilots Phil Wood and C. A. “Duke” Schiller planned to fly to Windsor, England, until backers decided to abandon the project, hopped off from Harbor Grace at 5:23 a. m., eastern standard time, today for Windsor, Ontario. The aviators were to fly out over Conception Bay and drop a wreath Into the waters of the Atlantio that have swallowed fellow airmen. Both Schiller and Wood expressed regret before taking off today that they were not permitted to essay the trans-Atlantic flight. smoking the girls turned on the radio. “What’s the matter, Nancy? Don’t you like Mr. Nelson?” "Os course,” Nancy admitted without much enthusiasm. “He seems quite nice.” “I think he’s adorable,’’ Edith said warmly, “Daddy says he came with wonderful Well, thank heaven, I didn’t go away to school.”

With a sickening twinge .of Jealousy Nancy thought, "Oh, if you only had gone away I might have had a chance.” Although he insisted he was a "Swede" there was about him nothing of the raw-boned Scandinavian. His manner was quiet, self-con-tained. She felt behind his reserve an intense pride, a pride which no doubt was inherited from generations of high-born ancestors. He was the kingly type, one accustomed to rule. Nancy had been conscious of his superiority even before she had met him. When the men re-entered the living room Edith suggested that they dance. “I can’t,” said Eric Nelson. “I’ve never had time to learn.” "Never too late,” Edith cried gayly. “We’ll take turns teaching you." But after the first attempt Nancy said she was "too tired.” The touch of his arms made her awkward and self-conscious. But she wanted to cry when she saw the other girl smiling up into his face. With a deep, unreasoning instinct she felt she had .belonged to him centuries ago in some previous existence. Perhaps he had been a king and she his beloved little slave. “I’m afraid I’ll have to go,” she said apologetically at 10 o’clock. It has been a stupid evening. Dragged out interminably to the accompaniment of dance tunes and Edith’s chatter. Never had Nancy known her friend to be so talkative. Never had she resented to fiercely the quiet, patronizing manner used toward her. She told herself she hadn’t a chance. No use to attempt to compete with a girl in Edith’s circumstances. Her one desire now was to creep down the hill to her own home. But when she prepared to leave Eric insisted on accompanying her. Edith agreed brightly. “She wants him to see the contrast,” thought Nancy bitterly. Well, let him! He might as well find it out now as later. She would never make apologies or act as if she cared. Edith kissed her in parting. “See you tomorrow, dear. Remember, Mr. Nelson, I expect you to keep up those dancing lessons. If you don’t come back soon I shall have to call you.” “I shan’t give you a chaiice,” he promised. • Walking beside him through the quiet street Nancy felt her spirits sink lower and lower. As they crossed the tracks and approached her unpretentious home she said. “I don’t know what was the matter with me tonight. I couldn’t think of anything to say.” “I don’t care for talkative girls,” Eric Nelson answered. (To Be Continued)

WEST LOOSENS CAL’HONGUE Capital Writers Find Him Much More Talkative. BY RUTH FINNEY Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.—President Coolidge has returned to Washington decidedly more talkative than he was when he left for South Dakota three months ago. Members of the Washington press attended the first White House conference of the season en masse to see for themselves whether Rapid City dispatches telling that the West had loosened the President’s tongue were justified. „ • They heard the President talk for twenty-five minutes Instead of the customary ten or fifteen; saw him laugh three times; heard him make several semi-jovial remarks; and listened to him close the conference with discussion of so frivolous a subject as the number of inches of news matter written about him during the summer. The President’s manner of speaking remains unaltered, however. His comments come as carefully as before and In the same tone of voice. His smile, though more frequent today, wasn’t any wider.

THOUSANDS DIE IN MASSACRES ‘Christian General's* Troops Murder Chinese. By United Brett SHANGHAI, Sept. 14.—Reports of wholesale massacres In Northern Honan by troops under Marshal Feng Yu-Hslang, "Christian general,” were published today in the vernacular press. The United Press was unable to confirm the reports, which estimated that between 30,000 and 80,000 persons of both sexes had been killed when the soldiers of Marshal Feng acted In reprisal against the slaying of some of their fellows. By United Brett LONDON, Sept. 14.—Unconfirmed reports from Nanking, cabled to the Daily Press by its Shanghai correspondent, placed at 80,000 the number of persons massacred at Ohingte, Northern Honan.

The “Red Spears” were said to have destroyed recently a part of the Kinhan railroad, believing that Marshal Feng Yu-Hsiang intended to spread his influence toward Peking. In reprisal, the reports continued, Feng sent his troops to Changte, where they massacred all Inhabitants suspected of membership in the organization.

G. O. P. STATE CHIEFS ASSAIL CORRUPTION

Three leaders of thought in the Republican party from as many sections of the State, in speeches at noon today, struck boldly at corruption in Indiana government and declared the time has come for the people to clfan up their political organization. The speakers were Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom, now a resident of Indianapolis but formerly of South Bend; Oswald Ryan of Anderson, a candidate for the Republican nomination for United States Senator In the last campaign, and Alvah J. Rucker, Indianapolis, ousted as corporation counsel by Mayor John Duvall when Rucker refused to approve some of Duvall’s moves. Gllllom spoke before the Rotary Club at Greencastle, Ryan before the Rotary Club at South Bend and Rucker before the Kiwanis Club at Lebanon.

Ryan Flays Stephensonism By Timet Special SOUTH BENI* Ind., Sept. 14. "Indiana’s immediate need is a constructive movement of her free citizens for a restoration of constitutional government, the destruction of the power of her Black Box leadership, and vindication of civic ideals that have been trampled in the dust,” declared Oswald Ryan, Anderson, at the South Bend Rotary Club luncheon today. “When more than a year ago, as a candidate for United States Senator, I spoke against Stephensonism and its sinister control of Indiana politics, a substantial majority were led to believe that the danger was imaginary and unreal. “Today every thinking person knows that the situation was even worse than It was then painted. Whatever the government of Indiana has been in recent years, it has not been a government of the Constitution. “Officials exalted to public places by the power of minority groups, public officers, who attain their positions by selling themselves to the enemies of their State, do not constitute a government of the Constitution.” , “The story of Indiana In the last few years forever will stand out In dark contrast against tho glorious chapter written by the sacrifices of her people during the World War. Then we held our heads high in the pride of patriotic achievement. "Today we are bowed before the sordid facts of political bebauchery, trickery and fraud. Nothing In American political annals equals the bold activities of the plundering politicians and Black Box leaders that have recently destroyed the substance of constitutional government In Indiana. And the extraordinary thing Is that the daring venality of these anti-public Influences paraded In the name of patriotism and ftie Christian religion.” Our obligation Is to drive from

Let those State officials, congressmen, county and city officials, who surrendered to Stephensonism now give way to those free to restore a government of the Constitution.” domination by Greed Bu Timet Svecial LEBANON, Ind., Sept. 14.—“1n Indiana we probably shall have no more religious issues, but we shall have, until it is overthrown, domination of our government by greedy financial interests,” declared Alvah J. Rucker, Indianapolis attorney, at the “Constitution Day” luncheon of the Kiwanis Club here today. “It is admitted that the successful candidates for Governor for many years received their nominations through vast campaign contributions of public utility interests, putting up from $250,000 to $500,000 for the nomination and election of candidates for Governor. They, of course, have obtainer value received in special favor. “This form of corruption has removed the seat of government from Indiana to Chicago, Philadelphia and New York, the barons manipulating our State affairs from their business offices. It would seem that natural pride would arouse the public from its sleep but every attempt to throw off the foreign yoke has been disheartening. “This yoke is very grievous. Governors purchased with utility' campaign funds appoint utility pawns to the public service commission. When $48,000,000 mergers are asked for on $18,000,000 properties, the commission brazenly, without trial, help out their operator friends and saddle many million dollars of watered* stock on the public. “May we stop this carnval of corruption? May we put into power representatives of the people instead of those of selfish business? May we free the bar of Indiana and remove Indiana banks from this fear? We may, for the citizens shall forget side issues and shows and determine to restore the government of the people. “They may do sc should they turn a deaf ear to the subsidized newspaper, the subsidized poltician and to smug hypocrites. The people’s candidate cannot spend $250 - 000 nor a twenty-fifth of that sum for the office of Governor.” Gilliom Hits Klan Ffule By Timet Special (< GREENCASTLE, Ind., Sept. 14. “If we are to have genuine and decent constitutional representative government in Indiana, there must be a vigorous attitude taken against the un-American and dishonest activities ir the politics and government of out State by the commercialized hShds of such groups as the Ku-Klux Klan and allied groups,” Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom told local Rotarians at a luncheon this noon. “The specious excuses for their activities should no longer mislead any one,” he continued. “One can be a 100 per cent American without

Miss Brown plans to continue the work of mothers’ organizations through the kindergartens, with new . emphasis upon lectures ior parents upon child training. Among the five places to be opened next week will be a demonstration kindergarten, where new, model methods may be observed by kindergarten teachers. Miss Ida L. Conner will have charge.
