! Students Hear Dr. Crane Speak On Money Talks'
GIVES PATRIOTS DAV ADDRESS AT DEPAI W CHAPEL TI ES. DAY MORNING Dr. Henry Hilt Crane, Scranton, Pa. minister and lecturer, gave the Patriot’s Day address before DePauw university students in a special chapel seivice Mon lay. Dr. Crane used as hi topic “Money Talks” and employed I the figurative devise of having an American half dollar talk with him in which the ini.i showed itself to be a leal patriot and emblematic of true A met iranism. Dr. Crane -laied in his introduction that there weii* two extremes of thought toward money and both were wrong. Trial money is everything or that money is just filthy lucre. He defined money as stored up energy, the congealed life bl. od and sweat of a nation, a part of any peisnn that can he put to work anywhere in the world. The erdn, in its reported conversation with the speaker referred to itself as the authentic spokesman for the nation and exemplified real Americanism in being stamped with the | ideals of the nation and unhindeied ' by man. To be a real patriot the oin advised that one he popular for a real ! sphere of influence but not at the sac- ^ rilice of ideals for that is counterfeit. . II advised Democracy and loyalty. America has its fortifications built * into Gie hearts of its jreople and its defense should bo through service lather than through defense by antag-
onism.

SYNOPSIS Bob Harkncss, a respected ranch er in the Mexican border town of Verdi, is “El Coyote,” the masked bandit and bitter enemy of Paco Morale*, grit-appointed ruler of the border country. “El Cycle's” idem bty is known only to Ann Keed, an entertainer at a notorious resort. She it in love with him and acts as hie spy. "El Coyote" wreaks venue ance on Morales for his unjust trea'ment of the ranchers. There is high price on “El Coyote's” head, but all search ha* proved futile Bob'* foreman and friend, Ted Had rliffe, is in love with Adela, the Spaniard's beautiful niece. Jito, Morales’ ward, is jealous of Ted. Major Blount of the U. S. Cavalry summons Bob and Ted to his Imadquar revs 10 hear one of “El Coyote’s’ lieutenants reveal bia identity. Bob goes outside. Two shots ring out. Bob returns and. shortly after, the informer is carried in, mortally wounded. He dies without a word. On the way home, Bob collapses from a wound in bis side. Ted iealizes the truth. Bob sends for Ann. Against Bob's wishes, Ted calls in Dr. Price, who challenges Ted with tl* question, "Suppose I talk?” CHAPTER XXXVIII Ted's mouth was a straight line. “That man iBside,” he answered grimly, "is my friend. He was my lather's friend, and when the whole world was pulled from beneath my )e«t he gave me a hand. He stood between me and—I'm not sure what. He was the onlv friend 1 had in life. He still is." For a second Ted’s voice trembled. "Well, the time has come when I can pay back a little of this friendship. For one thing, 1 can see him through now, and 1 can see that nobody learns from you or from anyone else who El Covote is ” “That sound#,'' the doctor drawled, “just the least bit like a threat, 'l ed.'' “it isn’t meant to be tt you're the man 1-think you are When 1 decided to bring you out 1 had to deride that no matter what you learned you wouldn't talk And t told myaelf that unless 1 had your promise of silence I'd hold you here, bv force it f had to. until Bob gets hvtter—or dies. I'll hold you until lie is safe, one way or another. I here aren't many things 1 won’t do beep his secret ’’ For a long minute the doctor -looked into the men's eyes. There was no mistaking the message At last he rose and laid his hand ou Ted's shoulder “It was a lucky day for Bob when you came along, boy. Without you he’d be done already Aa for me, you needn't lose a wink. That man inside is my friend, too. So, in the meantime, we'd better both teli the world Bob's out on the range until he feta better, or—" Silence. A long uncertain silence .followed the words, while a heavy bond seemed lifted from the man's heart. The leaves of the eucalyptus trees rustled and the hot desert wind played in upon them. From the open door came the sound of a girl’s muffled weeping. Price looked up "She's safe, I suppose ” ' Bob told me to get her before he passed out.” The doctor nodded and rose His understanding eye* were for the moment troubled at the strangene-s of it all. Hz shook his head. “How little we know anyone— even ourselves. For fifteen years I've known Bob. I’ve hunted with him. riddrn vrilh him.’* He smiled a ietnmiscent, wistful smile. "Once in a desert hut he even helped me bring a baby into the world. 1 thought l knew that quiet man, but I only knew one side oijiim, «nd probably the least important side. He might have been a great patriot or a great martyr in other tftnas or land* He ihr gift Of aacnbce-vr
and it's lirouglit him io this." lie turned down the steps, "i’ll run your cat in to Verdi and come out tonight, li il.ing-, get worse— phone.” And then again that hali-smile came to the man's face "l-'iinny," he said, then added. "You may he interested to know that in the ryes of the law you and I are liorli criminals now " Ilf shrugged his heavy shoulders “Well, what the law thinks won’t drive me to morplun. In fifty years I’ve learned enough to blast half the reputations in Verdi." He smiled. "It's a very wicked world, Ted. When you reach my age you’ll realize it. In the mean time, keep Hob quiet.” Again the silence of that desert morning fell about the hacienda. Once Jed looked into the room where Bob lay rither unconscious or asleep. Beside him sat the girl, her eyes fastened on the pale face among the pillows. He listened lor a long time to the slow, faint breathing, then left the room and paced the porch for an hour when the girl joined him. Lighting a cigarette she inhaled eagerly. "I've been afraid to smoke in there.” Her face was white and worn, and with a pang of remoise Ted remembered that she had been with Bob through the long night and morning. "Better get some sleep,” he told her. "I'll stay with Boh until Price comes hack.” She shook hsr head. ''AA’liat's the use? 1 couldn't sleep. I couldn't hear to be alone now. Talk to me." She sat down beside him on the steps. lias Bob a i hancr—I mejn an honest-to-God chance?" "Price think* so." "Who shot Bob?" Ted told her all he knew of the past night. "Bob and the Mexican must hare seen ea, h other and fired almost together." "And the Mexican 1 “Dead." , "T hen there it no one to know?" Hadiliffe sfiool his head slowly. "Morale* may surpect.” Again the girl s eyes dropped, and he added: Don't you think you'd better lie down There may be a hard night alwad tor us- both” , “But what will the end be’ ’ "I wish 1 knew. If Bob gets better it means war until either tie or Morale* wm* 1 he whole bolder will be brought in, for those two men are raising a storm that will sweep the country." “Will it bring you into the fight?" "Bob was my friend—whether he lives or dies my hand is against his enemies.” She rose, then suddenly swayed forward. Ted caught her and carried her into the house (Juirtlv he laid her down on hi* bed. She looked up at him and whstperfd, "I'm so tired and afraid for Bob—and everything." Kadcliffe nodded "I know. It will all come out tight, i'll call you if there's any need.'' Outside he resumed hi* lonely vigil. Twice the phone rang, and each tisne he said hat Bob was riding the southern range and would not be back for several day* Once during the afternoon he thought of (he girl inside, Wondering what part she might play in the hidden life of hie friend. She seemed a strange blending of tenderness and almost brittle hardness She was like someone living beyond both happiness and unhappiness. And once lie remembered her eyes as she looked at
Bob.
At last be forced himaelf to think of other things Hours pissed. Toward dusk the cook brought him a tray of sandwiches, and suddenly he recalled that neither the girl nor he had eaten all that tiny He carried the tray maide and, arcing the door open, tiptoed to where the girl lay sleeping, one arm
curled beneath her head. She seemed quite untroubled, sleeping there as if for the moment life had ceased to be that stern antagonist against which she stood ever on guard. At the slight sound of his coming, she ipened her eyes, and again those eyes were guarded and alert. In the dusk they ate and smoked, and either the cigarettes or the strong tea allayed the fears of that interminable day. They began talking in low tones. He’s quieter," Ted told her. "I think Ins fever's broken That may lie a good sign.” •She nodded. "Will you go back to Mendoza’s tonight ?” "1 should, but until Rob's better I won’t. Daqm Mendoza's," she added sullenly. lie vt.is silent, not Knowing what to say. There seemed so very little to say to this impassive girl, always so far away, always a little apait from everything except that figure in the darkened room. Then, to his surprise, she began talking about herself, "i couldn’t go Jo Mendoza's and have anything hap pen while 1 was gone," she told him in the voice that seemed at times like low-toned muaic. "But nothing could happen, could it?" Unable to answer, Ted shook his head. "If it does—" She broke off. “He was the gentlest soul 1 ever knew" "It was tor you he asked first of

I'm going to stay here until midnight, so you can both get some rsst.
