FlNLETi's RETURN. Dusk is in itself sinister. Brifiht noonday or black n.idnight are defin- ito, positive, I'vcn tangible, but dusk is uncertain, mysterious, eerie. And once it begins its creeping, in:idious pro- gress, it comes faster and more inex- orably with every mom'r.t urtil its first gray, wavring shadow.: turn to d'.nre and menacing shapes. At Flower Acres, the beautiful Long Island homo of tho Raynors, a Sep- tember dusk was stretching shadow Rcross the terraces and massed flower beds. ^ Through the falling darkness rang but a single shot. In the wide doorway l>elween the house and the sun parlor the glimmer of a white-clad figure pierced the Ifloom, and a door facing east and a door facing west, both swung on their hinges. And on the floor, crumpled into an ungainly heap, lay the inert form of No jumpy feeling NOW when I drive through traffic Nothing relieves tension so effectively as Wrigley's.

Tho quickly successive sensations incident to laniiiiig and reaching a hotel all pleased him, r.nd in sheer de- light ho noted or missed old land- marks until alone in his room at the Waldorf, he began to foci a longing for human companionship. Accordingly he reached for the tele- phono and confided his wishes to Ezra Goddard. During dinner, Finley learned all that he wanted to know about business, politics and friends. Goddard was a storehouso of information on these points, and guided by an occasional question, he placidly poured forth his torrents of news. "All right, G(xldard. F'm fed up with Wall Street details. So now â€" what about â€" Nancy?" Ezra Goddard looked at his host thoughtfully. "You went away when she married, didn't you?" "Yesâ€" when she married that un- speakable man!" "Because she married him?" "Partly. What about the girl? Do you ever see her?" "Oh, often. They live out on Long Island â€" fine, big estate, magnificent, ically." "Then he has done her well?" "As to settingâ€" yes." "Is she â€" is she happy? Is he good to her?" "Can't answer cither question. You know Nancy â€" if she weren't happy she'd never let anybody know it. As to his being good to her â€" he is-and he isn't." "Howâ€" isn't?" "Hard to put it into words. But, he's â€" oh, he's impossible!" "AJjounder?" â-  ,, "No â€" not that.- But he's a tyrant, a despot â€" an overseer!" "My God! Does he tyrannize over Nan?" "Docs he?

But of late she seems to be getting to the end of her rope, the limit of her patience. If it weren't for Orry â€" I ;ilmos„ think she might rebel op<'nly â€" " "Why Orry?" "His influenci is good over her. They adoro each other â€" I never knew a more devoted brother and sister â€" and when Raynor stirs Nan up beyond en- durance, Orry is the one who pours oil on the troubled waters." "He never seemed to me to have much goâ€"" "No, he hasn't. Orville Kent is a dreamer, an artist. But he has a fine nature, and he also has a good sense of proportion â€" a real knowledge of relative values. And so ho quiets Nan now and then â€" but truly it's seldom necessary, for the girl is so well pois- ed herself. If she ever regrets her marriage, no one i? allowed to guess i; from her words or actions." "Bless her heart ! Perhaps it isn't so very bad. Raynor had big quali- tiesâ€"" "Yes, but also some mighty small ones! He can jaL the iron into his wife's .soul, and then twist it around in the wound with a dialjolical clever- ness." "Is she alone with him, except for Orville?" "Lord, no. Tiiere's quite a house- hold. Raynor's sister, Miss Mattie, is there â€" also a ; urse." ".A. nurse?" "Not exactly â€" that is, she's what they call a di.4ician â€" you see, Raynor has developed a hippy concern as to his health, and he lives on callories or carbohydrates or something â€" anyway, they have to be weighed and counted )y a trained dietary person, hence, the nurse." H'm â€" an old man, apprehensive about his health, is a fine mate for lovely Nancy Kent!" "i'xactly. Why did febe marry him?" "I'd like to go <rrvvn there, God- dard. Would it be taking my life in my hand.s?" "Unless Raynor invites you, yes." "Won't he? Can't you make him? You seem to be on an intimate footing down there." "I'll ask hitn, gladly." "Do it now." (iod(lar<l stared at the determined fiico before him. Tall, strong and thirty, Malcolm I'^inley was the sort of man who gives instructions in the full expectation of their being carried out. His rather fair hair was thick, and showed a suspicion of waviness as it tos.=cd back from his wide brow. His eyes were gray and deep .sot and his mouth showed sweetness as well as firmness in its scn.= !tivc curves. A most casual glance at him gave the impression of capability and effi- ciency with indomitable determination and.persistcnce. Moreover, ho usually spoke with a decision that cut off pos- siUip objections. Wherefore Goddard obediently went to a telephone and returned not much later with a mystified expression on his face. "I don't quite understand it," he said, resuming his seat at the table and lighting a fresli cigar, "but old Raynor says he will be charmeil to see you. Ruflfering you to come, I could have understood â€" but charmed! Looks tricky to me." "Meaning?" "That ho expects to get some fun out of your visit, somehow. I told him you were home, and that 1 was dining with you, and that you wanted to run down to his place with me and renew old acquaintance, and he fell for it so quickly and so cordially that I can't see through it. 1 thought he'd have conscientious objections of some sort. But he was positively urgen'.-. Said for you to come with me on Friday for the week-end, and as much longer as you could content yourself there. It's an enormous place, you knowâ€" bifc as a hotel, full of servants and guests and neighbors â€" " "Neighbors? Thought it was coun- try."

Freedom of the Seas William E.. Borah In Current His- tory (New York): The term "com- mand of the seas'* has become obso- lete or. It not obsolete, obsolescent. No nation is going to be permitted to enjoy tbe "command of the seas." The United States will not consent to Its commerce being subject to tbe whim of some other power; and Great Britain herself will soon be able to see that the old theory of the "com mand of the seas" will work to her detriment quite as much as that of any other nation.
