Banish Pessimism
tyi'I'II a four-fold proKram clour-
ly murki-d oul, the Lions Inter
national has set oul to coimloiacl
what It tieUeves to Le un osap
fierated pe&Hltiiisril over jn?sent
busincfK conditions.
The ilau Is lo In1 litiov.il as a
"Huslness Conlidcni.o" ranipalKii
add will Include every city, lown
and liantlct where there is u chap
tec of llio sei-vlce club, Hoselnirn
Lions have joined In the following
program:
To Instill renewed confidence III
business.
To put money back Into circula
tion. To start, increased Imylnj;.
To eliminate the fear of depres
sion. Armed with figures furnished by
Industrial leaders and flnancierf
throughout tlio country, tlto clul)
argues' that things are not nrnilv
so batl as they stem and that the
end of current depression is iin
- lulnent. Among other Inforninllvo
and interesting figures gaT.iered
are these:
Construction bills Increased four
hundred million dollars over lust
year In the first six months of
11130. A total of 300 millions were
spent for highways, 2U0 millions
for educational buildings lu'i mil
lions for pipe lines, Kit) millions
for railways, 02 millions for pub
lic buildings, fit) millions for sew
age disposal. These figures being
.true, things can't bo so bad as
Bumo would have us bellevo.
, '..We need to Instill conlidence In
business, 'filings uevei' get so bail
that they can't be made worse by
lack of confidence bred of pes
simism, 'things will be worse If we
'I'M IN It they are worsn unit they
will be belter If we THINK they
mo better. Iliisiness will never re
gain normalcy until wo regain our
conlidence.
Secondly, we should put money
liuck into cliTiilailun. Idle dollare
liniku Idle men. Idle men nialie
pool' business. The "buyers' sirike"
lu America has had u large pail In
linking things us lliey me. Your
Itollar buys more now than before
'(ho war. It people of this country
Iwould buy light NOW what they
jean reasonably afford to buy. him
dreds of thousands of Idle hands
) would be put to work.
J Lastly, lei's ellniln.ile fear of de-j
pressiuu. Nothing Is more certain I
tliuu business reiovery. HuhIiicsk
has GOT to get belter.
I This "Hm liiess Conlidence" cam
paign should have the enthusiastic
!supporl of everyone who wauls lo

Little Expense Incurred
According to members of the
super road district board of trus
tees. It was no small Job to get this
project before the people. The
plan was sponsored hy Reedsport
men and others along the route of
the proposed new highway, but
aside from those neighborhoods
little enthusiasm was aroused. The
work of organizing the district in
order to-get a legal' sponsor for
the project took a good deal of
lime and incurred some expense,
but these men got under the bur
den am) kept everlastingly at It
until the plan materterlallzed. In
connection with perfecting this
project only SI, 100 was expended
for legal and traveling fees, which
included the engraving, printing,
advertising and sale of the district
road bonds.
Should Follow River
Mr. Lovelace, chairman of the
board of trustees, speaking of the
road projects necessary to the
county, alleged that there should

alleged that such a highway is

CHAPTER XaXIII.
Judy wondered breathlessly ii
the entire house was vacant II
It were one oi the crumbling old
tenements with blank, staring win -
dnws she had passed when the
dirty little Frenchman was leading
her through the twisted streets.
She laid her ear against the
door, held her breath. The sound
of voices came to her dimly. Chil
dren quarreling. A baby's cry. A
woman a talk. Someone lived in
the building, probably on a lower
floor. It ave her a faint comfort
though she knew it really made no
difference. There had been very
little noise gutting her up here, in
spite of the Frenchman's yelp. No
one uul those two wouiu know tuai.
a girl was held prisoner here in
this evil place. They could do
what they wished with her and no
one would know ever.
She put her hands to her tern
pies and pressed hard. Someone
had said this kept faintness away
a firm pressure at the temples,
It seemed true enough for her con
sciousness swirled up out of the
sick depths.
Only now there came sharper
awareness of her plight
The door was very sqlid in spite
of itB look of age; there would be
no use trying to break it down.
Nothing lo be gained even if the
heavy panels were shattered as
she discovered in another minute
of listening, for she heard a lustle
as of a body changing position, the
scrape of a match. One of the
two was out there watching, prob
ably sitting at the head of the
stairs.
Moving with stealthy caution
Judy slipped off her pumps and
tiptoed to the single window set
rather high in the wall. There was
a sudden dark shade, tacked down
at the bottom, which released a
shower of dust when she took the
edge gingerly between thumb and
forefinger and peered through the
opening.
A wide stone sill outside the
sash. She could see nothing be
yond. Odd that there should be noth
ing beyond the window . The
streets she had traversed in her
crazy following ot the Frenchman
were canyons not deep, since
tlie buildings were never more
than three or four stories high
but so narrow that one almost
could reach from side to side.
And beyond this dirty, fly
specked window she saw the sky.
With a lilt'e fluster of hopeful
ness she ripped the shade at the
bottom, pushed up the sash. Then
she understood knew almost ex
actly where she was.
She had been dragged into the
building from a street which would
be the first at the top of the steep
hill above the flat lands hy the
river. The hill fell away in a
sharp bluff to the street at its foot
and Judy now looked out above
the lower thorougniare. A few-
blocks to the left four or five
probably one crossed the bridge
and the causeway where the Mo
hawk was tied.
Judy leaned far out and waved
her arms, striving to attract the at
tention of someone below. It was

Softly, reluctantly Judy closed
the window. It seemed to offfer
some way but she could not think
what this might be. Four stories

She didn't know why, but she kuew

I But what right had he to come
; into her life, bringing terror?
What did these captors want of
her? She had nothing worth the
hazards they assumed in kidnap
ing. Unless they held her as host
age. Did they mean to reach Trls
this way?
She began to shake. Long trem
ors started at her fiuger tips, ran
all througn her, slowly, horribly.
Who were the men?
She tried to concentrate on this
rout stark fear by concentrating.
But the question was answered at
once on a click of. memory, ine

been on the sleeve that covered
her face after she bit her captor's
hand. It was the same sleeve that
came through the window when
the taxi was held up on the cause
way. The spidery sailor. He seized
her. dragged her here.
The Frenchman was probably
some chance acquaintance picked
up in a waterfront barroom and
iuduced to help Jor a sum.
She began to pray in a hope
less, incoherent fashion. "Let me
get away let me get away
quickly quickly."
Voices. A woman's voice and
a man's. They spoke French, hur
ried and very low. Bolts shot
back; the key turned.
A woman came in ami closed
the door.
A large woman, not tall, but
broad, with sleeves rolled up, pow
erful arms and ragged -gray hair
stringing down her wide, homely
face. A woman with black, not
unkindly eyes and a moustache.
She nodded at Judy, sitting
white and rigid with her hands
gripping tho ede of the cot, and
plodded across the room while the
floor shook beneath her tread. She
ripped the shade from its fasten
inaa. Twilight now and the Mo
hawk was to sail tonight. It must
be after eight. The woman mo
tioned Judy to stand. "You spik
French, Ma'm'zelle?"
"No. What what do you want
with me? You don't you know
there'll be trouble? My friends "t
Her lips trembled so she could not
go on.
The woman laughed and shrug
ged. "Rut no that tro-jble no.
Ma'M'zelle. I w ill now. tr you have
plis, to make you search. If you
will have so kind."
A polite woman, grinning behind
her moustache. Judy determined
not to antagonize her, but she
shrank from the big red hands.
"How dare you! I'll not have
you touch, me. I'll I'll you
keep your hands off!".
It seemed to amuse the woman,
who laughed till her broad hips
shook. "I sink you now will have
so kind plis?"
Judy hurled herself at the door,
beating against it, tearing at the
catcil; The woman did not Inter
fere. She sat down on the cot,
waiclied while her black eyes glit
tered with amusement.
In the end Judy had to pause
for breath. She sensed the futility
of struggle. These people thought
she had something they wanted.
Well, then let the woman search.
They woul let her so then. They
wouldn't trouble her any more
ever again. They would let her
go before the Mohawk sailed, so
she could go back home and stay
there always and always.
"Listen. Is this all you want?"
she asked. "To look through my
clothes?"
"But what else, Ma'm'zelle?'
"Youll let me go then? Oh.

youil have to do this let me get
back In time "
She took the last shrug for as
sent. But she would not nave the
woman touch her. She removed her
garments one by one. and the big
hands went over everything pa
tiently, minutely. What iu tho
world did ahe expect to find shak
ing out ruffles, running her fiu
gers along seams?
When it grew too dark to see
the woman lighted the gas jet and
held thin silken Blockings to the
glare as If she expected to dis
cover something concealed be
tweer the threads. She went
through the handbag, last of all,
gave ft back intact.
The search was over at last.
Now Judy could dress while the
woman sat on the cot, shoulders
hunched, black eyes thoughtful.
"Well, I hope you're satisfied!
I hope you'll keep your word now
and let me go."
The woman lumbered away,
smiling and nodding politely.
"Plis, you have wait the so littllo
minute, Ma'm'zelle. One minute
two minute if you have so
kiuil." .
Once again the key turned, the
bolt was drawn.
Despair closed in. It began like
a pin point a long way off. drew
nearer slowly, surely, growing al
ways larger until it filled the
room. Every ghastly crime Judy
had encountered in news column
or story came up to stalk before
her eyes. She saw the woman's
cheerfulness as sinister, her indif
ference to the threat of trouble as
significant.
Of course, they meant her never
to leave this place. They meant
to kill her Jildo their crime this
way. That spidery sailor what
would a murder more or less bo
to him?
Out of her panic a purpose took
form. One thing for her to do.
They'd never put their handti- on
her not while she was alive.
