f !f.~ ..1 â- t >/ •J "SAIAM TEA The Jade God By MARY HMLAY TAYLOR CHAPTER XIX Burleson smiled bleakly; he was lUtt a man who had escaped lotne- thing â€" put something away; he w»« detached, hard, unafraid. Fos- Jfek liart^UltTiiw.. "He's mad!" he tiiought. "You can call it conscience/' Barlcson said, answering Mark, "or you c.Tii call it loss of nerve. I always planned to do something •bout it; a deathbed confession, I •appose; scnielhing dramatici Off and on I've asked about you in pri- Mn; I was playing for time; for years I haven't been a well man, •od now the doctors give me two years at most. I'm going to die, that's certain. I thought you could wait, but â€" I've heard something •bout that!" He shifted his posi- tion slightly, frowning, thinking of Pam's towed head; it tva& true that »he touched the only soft spot in ii; hiilt, "I '?S how you feel," he went on, "but I'm giving you your itvtnge. As for myself, I suppose if a man does the square thing in the end, it's something. I've got Fosdick here to take charge of It. He can go ahead." "It'll be ruin, Burleson! My God, why didn't you speak then â€" or â- ot at all?" Fosdick rried. • ♦ •, Burlcf-oii, lutnding him a paper, looked at him oddly. "They can't send r.ie to the chair?" "They won't; it's second degree," said Fosdick dryl^-. "It's up to me to get it liglit for you â€" but this iilence â€" the other fellow suffer- big!" Insane temper, temporary aberration â€" no end of money for alienists; Fosdick saw a hundred lawyer ways of fighting it for months â€" he mustn't die in prison! "I'll make a big fight, butâ€"" he ilared at Burleson bleakly â€" "man. It's the disgrace â€" it'll ruin you all! The country'll rinp with it; you're known everywhere." Burleson's prey face twisted; lie turned and glanced at Mark. "This young man here would iay it was fair and that I had my share," he remarked dryly, "nil. that I've escaped â€" I've had a liv- ing hell of it for years." » * • Mark said nothing. He turned suddenly and walked to the win- dow, staring out with unseeing eyes. He tlioiiglit of those fifteen bitter years, oi the convict's lot, of his lost youth, and this man safe and sleek in high place. Then he heard Fosdick's voice â€" the rasp in it weakened into a hu.sky growl. "Two years? Good heavens; you might as well have waited. Then it would be only a nine days' won- der; no one to be punished. Now â€" they'll send you to prison!" There was a silence, then Burle- son's voice. "My wife's dead; the boys, too; that's all there is to it. Of course the others â€" " "Yes, the others!" barked Fos- dick, staring hard at Mark's back; of course it was a vindication, but this man â€" had stood so high. Burleson louehed the paper on his desk. 'Von'll put it through, Fosdick? I'm tired of it; I'll take it when it comes. Now â€" " He turned, too, and glanced at the young man at the window â€" "you can both have; I've done my share." * * * Fosdick rose; he was white and his eyes stared, but he took the paper. "It'll mean a trial," he said harslily; "111 have to drag you in- to court." Burleson, who had sunk lower in his chair, nodded. "Make it as clear as you can â€" if I'm to go to jail â€" " he laughed discordantly, turning to Mark. 'Young man, you're avenged; it's harder for me to go lo jail for two years now â€" and to die tlicre â€" than it was for you You've got yonr life before you â€" I'm done!"

ISSUE 17â€" X94« "He doesn't count that," said Fo»dick dryly; "It'g revenge that'i sweet, Burleson." He was tucking the confession into hii breast pocket, but the mo- llonlesa figure in the window rasped en him. 'You'll be needed, too, Grant," he laid aharply; "I'll have to ask your pardon for my treatment of you; they'll make everything right in court now â€" and you can have it put in the papers." Suddenly Burleson groaned. The hideous publicity of it made him wince. He teemed to heir already the strident calls of the newsboys - "Extry!" • * * Mark turned. There y;^i | light in his face; he heT3 hi? head high. "Wait," he said to Fosdick; "one moment! Keep th^t paper, J'vc had mteen years â€" I can afford to wait two more." Fosdick gaited at him and Burle- son lifted his head slowly. "You mean â€" ?" gasped Fosdick. "I mean just that!" Til wait. I can't strike such .i blow at thein ail nor atâ€"" Mark stopped. He did not want to add "a dying man." Burleson rose unsteadily, facing him. "You â€" yot; know I let you suffer? And â€" you do this?" Mark nodded. "I'll wait." Burleson sank into his chair, speechless; speechless he hid his face in his hands. Fosdick stood staring, reluctant to be convinced. "Here's a won- der!" he exclaimed at last. Pam, when she was told, saw it all more clearly. "Of course I understand! I knew you'd be like that," she said proud- ly; "you're great enough to spare an old man who's wronged you! It's awfully grand, and I know it's for me. You can't stop nic now, Mark Grant, for I want some of the glory; we'll face those ex-ron- vict years together â€" ves, we wiU!" (THE END1 TJIBLE TRIES Dress Up Foods With Tomato Sauce Canned tomatoes, home or com- mercial varieties, either whole or as juice, can improve many meals. l''or cooking purposes too they are indispensable and can be used hot or cold, "as is", or combined with other foods. Of all the ways in whicli they xre used tomato sauce is one of the best. According to the home economists of the Consumer Sec- lion, Department of .'Vgriculture, if a honiemaker lias a good tomato sauce she can disguise leftovers, dress up inexpensive foods, and gain for herself a reputation as a most superior codk.

Germa^is also branded their CHRONICLES of GINGER FARM By Gwendoline P. Clarke "The year's at the spring . . ." As one looks around one sees plenty of evidence why, since time wnmernorial, poets have written wieir lovefiest poems in praise of spring. Autumn is beautiful too â€" perhaps even more so â€" but there is a peculiar quality that belongs only to spring . . . the miracle ov idormanlt life awakening to r^ew birth ... a definite feeling of hope, of optimism, dispelling those dark, dreary clouds of defeatism that at times assailed us when days were short and gloomy. I was thinking along these linei about our lovely spring when, un expectcdly and with tragic sudden- ness, came word of President Roosevelt's deatli â€" and for awhile all the beauty around me seemed to vanish. Fev/ men have enrichcil the world so greatly in life as did the President nor few men whose death has been mourned by so many. .\nd yet, I believe what dis- tresses people more than his pass- ing is the fact that he was not spared to witness the fullillment of that victory for which he had striven so untiringly. But noâ€" "untiringly" is not the right word â€" for he must often have been tireJ to that point of exhaustion. Sacri- ticaily would nofc aptly describe his devotion to duty. The wonder Is net that )>« died when he dii^ bttt that he lived so long under sttoh a terrific strain. • • * And now because life must go on even though presidents die, wc pay our last respects to a greit and loyal leader, and then square our shoulders again and resume once more "the daily round". On Ginger Farm the daily round right now includes a little job known as seeding. The air is heavy these days with the hum of trac tors â€" and I think probably ours hums louder than any of the oth ers. Nothing very modest abou'. our old "trac" â€" when it goes out on a jub it likes to let ever\orie know about it. * * * And wc are also still at the wir ing job â€" at least the electricians are. Really, we had no idea there would be so many wires. What with furnace pipes, telephone ana hydro wires, there isn't nnicn spare space in the cellar that isn't decorated in some way or anothci. I am wondering when the pipes will go it, and when, we put in a hot water system. The men may got through with the wiring by Tuesdayâ€" that is as far as tl'e house is concernedâ€" in fact the job i.s almost done already. But oh, the irony of it! Here we are with switches and plugs all over the house and yet, no matter how one clicks the switdies back and fortli, nothing happens. We even have an electric stove in the house, and that, too, is about as useful as a pump without water. * * * Every time I go to town I look hopefully along the road to see :f it has been staked out for pole:. So far there is no sign of then.. But the day will come . . . and when it does â€" when we are really hooked up, I think, for one nigh., I shall want to turn on every light in the house just to celebrate. In- stead of a housc-warming we'l'. have a house-lighting! And bcliev; me, if all the lights were turn.d on »l one time there would be pl«nity of them, for there are over sixty outlets in this "^ambling old house of ours. People say "Oh, wha' lovely big rooms â€" h"'v grand to have so much space to live in!" Yes, it's grand all rightâ€" vve know it when we stairt in on a job like this. Imagine â€" five lights in the basement. And we can't do with less â€" unless we still want to wan der around with a flashlight eve.' i-i'ei the hydro is in. Modern Etiquette By, Roberta Lee 1.
