She thought of her new family. Mrs. Du Vai—“Mother" was a dear, and she seemed really to like Doris. She re-’ viewed her eventful yesterday with tranquility. All that fright about the man in the cab had been so useless, so silly. Anyway. It was all before she knew that she had this quiet refuge, before she bad even seen Rocky’s picture. She took It up now and studied It thoughtfully for the twentieth time. Her busband! Where bad she met him? How long bad she known him? Not long, apparently. She bad gath- 1 ered this from her welcome. And yet Mrs. Du Vai bad met her , before. Mrs. Du Vai had recognized i her In the Biltmore! Or had she? i Doris shut her eyes sgain, and tried to [ imagine the scene. Mrs. Du Vai’s ( greeting had been something about how j beautiful she was. Could it be. poasl- j ble that Mrs..Du Vai as well as her , husband bad never seen Rocky's wife j before? ? | It was too confusing. Today her nfbmory would return. It must! it , would! It bad to! But It Just didn’t. The more she willed to know, the more the curtain of the past seemed to shut down on her, blanker than the unknown future uu which she could at least make a . few tentative plans of her own. As ’ spring passed it seemed strange to be > bsiHHHBMtouJ ■ I 4 'I • ’ r Ik ' Sr Ek ' 1 ’ S r ths Studied It Thoughtfully. married to a photograph, married to someone who was a topic of conversa- ■' tlon at every breakfast, luncheon and dinner, and yet Whom she had never 1 seen. The days were always the same ! Doria could understand why Rocky didn’t come much if he were at all the type that liked gaiety. For at nine ©-’clock promptly every night the family went to bed. And at six o’clock the next morning It was time to get up. Fn.m six-thirty until noon Mr. Du Vai worked in hie studio. j After lunch he worked again. Mean- j while hie, wife occupied herself with ■ the house, superintending the garden- ’ Ing, the dairies, the farm. Aside from ' her work In running the huge place. . Mrs. Du Vai spent much of her time In acting as a guard to her busband i against the outside world. Hardly a ■ day passed that did not bring a group I of tourists eager to see the sculptor at ' his work. His wife kept them away from him. If she hadn’t It would have , soon become Impossible for him to work, for they would have swamped him, overwhelmed him. He lived In his work, and be was utterly dependent on his wife, who made It possible for him to work so steadily and ardently. “It la dull for you here, Doris?” he would say sometimes at lunch. "N®. no. I love the quiet of the country. And besides there’s really a lot to da" “Tea," said Mrs. Du Vat “We sew. wo make new curtains for Doris and Rocky's bedroom." Doris was really learning a greet deal. Already the peas and asparagus were being canned In the big kitchen She had helped start dandelion wine, seen ths red currants come off the bushes, watched them bubble In ewrmono pots. Mra Du Vai was making bar-le-duc “such as you will not get. my Doria, this side of the water." There was a batch of new setter puppies. Doris was weaning them. This occupied much of her attention. Then there were many vases In the big house to be filled with flowers. This had become Doris* task. There was, as Doria had said, a lot to da. And she enjoyed doing it Every night she fell asleep dreaming about Rocky. She bad moments It is true, of doubting that anyone could be so perfect as the son Mra. Do Vai talked of constantly. But when she looked into his pictured eyes she beHeved them all. Somew h®re in the Menk past he had told her that he loved her. They had married each other. She almost believed she remembwed it. Bartdea hb mother* stories, she had Brtewd to Ida fatter* description EIS i. humamma

Rocky’s business career. And gradually she had formed a picture of this Rocky Du Vai to whom she was married. He emerged now as a lorer, a person more real than anyone she had ever met. She looked eagerly toward the day when he would write to her because she thought that certainly when she looked at the Intimate words of her husband, written to her, his wife, she would remember and know for all time what she still groped and wondered over. Meantime she thought of him as being the tall careless type fond of outdoor life. “He likes outdoor life when it isn’t too strenuous." Mr. Du Vai had chuckled. Mrs. Du Vai said that like his father he made friends everywhere, but he had Inherited hts keen business sense from his mother. He had had a recent promotion in his firm which would send him to Paris frequently. But no letter came. A week passed, and another week. June came, bringing roses nnd peonies, a festive setting for Rocky’s return. Then Mrs. Du Vai got a letter from him, but of Doris It mid only, "Doris strikes me as being , very husky, so there Is no need to worry about ber. Just see that she gets plenty of sunshine and goes to bed early every night." This sounded far from lover like and Doris felt suddenly cold all over when Mrs. Du Vai read it aloud to her. Mrs. Du Vai seemed also to feel some lack in It, for she said consolingly, “Your letter will come tomorrow." But it didn’t come, though Doris begun wistfully to watch for the mallmu n's daily visits. The words, “there is no need tn worry about her." made Doffs wonder a;;ain If her young husband did know of the condition in which she found herself mentally. Had the Du Vais, after all, suspected it? Was that why Mrs. Du Vai was constantly fussing over her. urging gentle exercise on her. making her take naps, begging her to take sunbaths, and forever babbling about, "such a time?" No. That was Impossible. The Du Vais showed no sign of guessing that Doris owtjd BOt remember anything. Yet Rocky’s letter left her more than aliglitly disquieted. The old doubts came back. Supposing she were not Rocky* wife. Supposing Mrs. Du Vai had mistaken her tn the Biltmore? What on earth should she do if Rocky came back and repudiated her? < She spent hours brooding now on this situation. She ought to go to New York and make some effort to locate her rightful place. Supposing her memory never came back? For over a month had passed now; and she w«s beginning to lose that first expectancy that had buoyed up her spirits. "What la the matter. Doris? You look pale today. You need rest." “No. no. I’m all right." Rest meant returning to her nightmare Imaginings: If Rocky was not her busband then she must go back to the other. “Tell me what Is troubling you? dear?" She considered taking Mrs. Du Vai Into her confidence. If she found out that Doris had lest her memory there was no telling what she would do. As It was, she was always talking about taking Doris to the doctor. She could not tell Mrs, Du Vai now after all these weeks of deception. But she really ought to go into New York and see If she couldn’t find out something. Supposing she went to Tange’s—the store where she had bought most of ber trousseau. The label with Its Fifth avenue address was on all of her clothes. Perhaps some clerk there would recognise her. and tell her for sure If she was Mrs. Rockwell Dn Vat That was something she must do before Rocky came home. And he was due home In a week. , (TO BE CONTINUED )

Forty years ago we could hear the village blacksmith’s anvil ring and hear his bellows roar, but how maqy smiths do you hear today? Not press? Forty years ago you could buy a standard make of grain binder made by hand for 3100. There were no idle or unemployed men and all of the people were happy. Today the same kind of grain binder made by machine costs $240 and there are 15 million unemployed men that must be fed. Is this progress?. Forty years ago we consumed 12 hours in going 10 miles to market. Now we travel through space at the rate of 60 miles per hour. Our

mothers worked all day with their home work. Now they turn * few switches and the work is done. Today we have 15 million unemployed men and their families who must depend on charity. Is this progress? Forty years ago our children were born in the homes where there was love, unselfishness, respect, where father and mother were loved. Our classes were held in the little red schoolhouses where sociability and kindness predominated. Today our children are born in the hospital, in a nursery, our schools have become machines grinding out graduates at a specified rate. The scholars are taken or carted to consolidated schools miles from home and not seen by day light by their parents for days and days so how can the parent teach his child the right way. is this progress? A few years ago some of our great men agreed the age in which we are living can be called the machine age. Today we have many machines in our factories. One man sits on a stool and does the work of 10 men which has thrown 15 million out of employment. Can this be called progress? Now it looks like we are facing two things. First, will we scrap our machines in our factories which take the place of the unemployed workers, to put these unemployed back to work, or drift into a socialist government now? Which of these two are you going to choose? UNCLE LEW.
