VALPARAISO. Ind., May 29
Judge Grant Crumpackcr .declared
yesterday that In his opinion he- was

torney General James M. . Ogden as
proof KIrkland should havo received
a much heavier sentence did not
apply in the KIrkland case. The 20-year-old'
Gary youth was convicted
of assault and battery with Intent to
attack Arlene Draves, his companion
who tiled after a brinklng party last
November. , V .
"It's a lot of 'hooey' " Judge Crum

al advertiser remarked the other day
that while newspaper circulations
arc demonstrable the question that
lomalnc unuuswered in Lis mind Is
whether 10 per cent, more or less,
cf .reudcrc actually notice his copy.
, Well, oacp. in a while we have a
est Mi the matter. A brand of cig
uittteo recently advertised a prize
cuiitL'Ht for the best letter setting
iorth the advuutages to smokers of
the- new cellophane wrapper and re
ceived amplo evidence that peoplo
read advertising when It Is interest
ing and important. The campaign
ran for eight days in 1,713 dally
nowspupcru and in 2,139. weeklies
and 42G college and financial papers.
A total of 952,228 answers wero re
ceived. An enormous number of people who
read and considered the advertising
naturally did not reply to it for all
of. the reasons that one could imag
ine. But nearly a million persons
registered. . ; 5
There is a reply hero for the
doubter mentioned above. He need
not, of course, offer prizes to get re
sults. Ho ilecd only offer, in attrac
tive fashion, worthy goods that the
people need and at prlceB within the
range of t their pockotbooks. Results
Ore lh the final analysis pretty much
ur to the oroduct. Good things "go."

Sho waited, watching tlio iient

on tlio river. . He spoke steadily.

wanted to iny ayes on him again.
Ho said I never would. He went
nway and didn't write. And I was
too proud to write first This spring
ho wob to come back. Idstead you
came. ..."
His eyes, she saw, were blurred
with tears. After a while he went
on mora steadily, not in that , voice
that he forced to bo cold and hard.
"When I s.iw you In the station
that little girl I had met years
ago In England, , it seemed
though you'd come back to show
mo what a beast I'd been. I
thought Nicholas must have told
you he bated me." ,
"Ho nover told me anything."
"I don't suppono I'll over get over
It. When you lovo a person as I
loncil him, ns you " his voice
trailed off.
Tlio moment had come that she
hud dreaded. She must toll him
Unit bIio had never loved Nicholas.
.Ion held out his hand.
"Nora," ho snld, "will you lot mo
mnko It up to you for him?"
"Hilt you mny not want mo hero
when you know"
llo was looking at her now, Ills
green oyes on hers. Sho saw that
ho had become hor friend. And
she needed him so desperately. She
needed all :io had to give, the old
house, tlio security. n
, "I'm not very I mean I should
enrh my llvliiR. Ilut 1 don't know
how. Thero Isn't anything I can
do!" alio said wildly.
"But that wasn't what you wero
going to tell me, was it, Nora?"
"No. It wasn't."
If sho told him that she had only
married Nlcholns because sho was
afrnld, ho w '.ltd despise her. No,
sho couldn't tell him!
"You'ro not afraid to tell mo

She caught her breath and turned
her faro away. If she should tell
him, how that cold look would
cbango his face; he, who bad never
had nnythlng to ho afraid of.
Sho did not tell him. Ilut in
fltend she poured nut to him all the
story of these Inst years, the wan
derlng life, the borrowing, tlio petty
devices by which they had lived
"My father In n painter," she end
ed, "but I suppose he's really more
of a tramp. And that's all 1 am,

looking old ninn beside her. Jon :
took Nora up to htm and Damon's i
father looking dowt) Into her pretty i
fresh face, said, "I hear you're com-
Ing to stay with us? That's what we 1
need, youth aha freshness about J,
us us. we. grow older." :'-'
Dnnion' colored faintly and asked
Jon It lie would make - cocktails
while Mr, Van Vorst drew Nora,
asldo' '" "' " " ,. ' "
"A vory strango family." He
shook his head. "Jon's mother. A; ,
lovely, woman but had a passion'
for lotting things free. She'd buy:
blrdB, just to let them out of their
cages, yea, very strange."
As he went "on talking ' Jon' ;
glanced at Nora and smiled. At,
that Intimate smile. ot understand-!
ng her heart leaped up. She loved' ,
them! She scarcely listened to
what old Mr. van Vorst was say,-,
Ing, Intent on those two beside tbe
tea table. - Jon was leaning toward
Damon and Nora caught only a few
words. ; .
"wretched (ramp ot a father-n
no upbringing" ,
She saw Damon look up and nod. -
In the twilight room she saw Jon's
faco arrogant and cool. Tbe treacn- '-
ery ot those tew words burned her
llko red hot oil poured into ner
heart. j -
He had told Damon even while
Nora was in the room all that she
had poured out to him in that ln;'
tlmate talk. "A wretched tramp cf,'
fnther!" He pttlod her and he:
was ashamed of her. He was tak
ing her into his home only because'
It was a duty loft him by the dead
man. ; . ' -
Nora sat listening to Mr. Van'
Vorst talking or rather she pre
tended to listen, while Jon's treach
ery cut deeper nnd deeper. When,
she lookod across at him it was
hard to bolleve be bad betrayed'
her, for his olear-cut features madc(
Ills face seem line and sensitive.
Jon smiled at her but she looker!
away. He was thinking what, n -bravo
spirited creaturo she was.: :
A tramp, like her father, he
thought, but thero was nothlngi
derogatory In the thought; rather:
be foil an admiration for that free
wandering lite she had lived, for.
the sturdy philosophy that had
homo her up. He would like to know'
Jullnn Lake, ha thought.
It was 1 1 mo for Nora to leave, '
she told Damon. No, she would
not stay to dinner, , i
"In a week then," Damoft asked,
leaning forward to kiss her lightly
on the cheek, "you will come to,
stay wllh us?"
Nora whispered yes. She was
conscious ot Jon against the door
watching her. She bnrely touched
bis hand when she snld good-hy.
A car Was waiting for her before
the house.
She wns still living In that other
world, still seeing the old house in
tho twilight when she reached
Aunt Kin's, its solidity seemed t-J
her the symbol of nil she desired,
It was deep rooted In the soil, with
the bills folded bohlnd It, nnd the
woods shouldering It. It seemed In
hor to be tlio very stronghold ol
Unit emottonnl surety that sho so
passionately longed for.
