Nothing Venture
by Patricia Wenlworih
SYNOPSIS: The tragedy of
lean's first hiss from Jervls 1b
that she feels it was given light
ly. Everything Is wrong; Jervls
demands proof that her father Is
Nigel Forsyth, famous explorer,
and believes she has mercenary
motives In accusing Robert Leon
ard oi murderous designs upon
: Jervls., Nan Bends proof to her
cruel husband, the letters wet
with her tearB.
Chapter 24
. . FIRHT OVERTURES
. Jervls. sorted, out the letters Nan
had Bent him, and read them through.
They were the rather stiff letters
which a man writes to children with
whom be baa no other than a for
mal relation.
X hope you and Cynthia are do
ing well at school. There's noth
ing like a good grounding. Your
aunt says Cynthia is very back
ward and does not try to learn. I
am very sorry to bear this. You
will both have to earn your liv
ing some day, as I tiave nothing
to leave you. Life out here Is
precarious.
Jervls bad a tenderness for chil
drcn. He frowned at the letter as
he read It. It was dated July, 1010.
Nan would have been eleven. Good
Lord! What an exhilarating letter
for a kid of eleven to get from, a
father on the other side of the
world I It must have been about the
last letter he wrote her too.
He turned to another:
My dear Nan,
I have had your letter, and the
snapshots of you and Cynthia. In
' answer to your questions you
are hot at all like your mother. I
am afraid you take after my side
of the family. Your mother was
very -lovely, and everyone loved
her. She took love and admiration
as a right, Cynthia has a look of
her.
And the letters' were signed in the
same way:
Your affectionate father
NIGEL FORSYTH.
, Somehow Jervls found them pa
thetic. Outside of the signature
there was not much affection In
them. He got a picture of the man
worried and without an idea of what
to do with two little girls In
America.
And he had a picture of the child
who had. hoarded these letters a
child who wanted to be like her
beautiful mother, and wasn't; who
had to shoulder the responsibility
which Nigel Forsyth was laying
down. It was Nan, obviously, who
had to placate "your aunt," to
manage Cynthia, ' and to bear in
mind that she had got to earn her
own living. He was prepared to bet
that she had to earn Cynthia's liv
ing too.
He put tbe letters back in their
envelope and went upstairs.
He stood listening at the door be
tween1 his room and Nan's, and then
knocked upon it. There was no
answer. And yet he was quite sure
sho was not asleep; he had a feeling
that the whole room wus waiting
to hear him knock again.
I ni tend, ho tried the handle, and
found, as he expected, that the
bolt was fastened on the other side.
As the handle moved with a faint
creaking sound, he heard the soft
padding of feet and the merest ghost
of a growl. Next instant Bran was
sniffing at the crack.
Ho knocked again, a good deal
louder, and became aware of a
movement that was not made by
Bran. It was a very soft. Inaudible
movement. It suggested to him that
Nan was sitting up in bed putting
back the bed-clothes slowly, slow
ly. Bran pushed against the panel
and snuffed the key-hole.
With lips against the crack, Jervls
said, -.
"Nan are you awake?" ;
She said, "Yes," in a whisper.
It was an uneven whisper, and it
told him for certain that she had
been crying.
"I didu't mean to wake you."
There was no answer to thlB.
"I've brought your letters."
Again no answer.
He knew that she was leaning
against the door. He heard her hand,
slip on the panel, but she did not
speak. He wondered why her hand
had moved. It was not to open the
door. - . . - .
An impatience of her silence gave
him a touch of bravado.
"I've come to ratify the apology.
Aren't you going to open the door?"
. Sho said, "No" or he thought
that she said, "No." Afterwards he
wondered whether her silence had
said it for him. .
"Won't you open the door and
tako the letters?" . : ,
Nan had wept until sho could
weep no more. Those scalding tears
seemed to have washed everything
away, like a flood that obliterated
all landmarks and leaves behind it
an even desolation. There, had. been
a moment when she - could have
killed Jervls for that light kiss. The
hot rage was gone. There had been
a moment when she could . have
flung herself into his arms; and that
too was gone. There, remained . a
grey, , desolate loneliness, and she
woo very tired. ,.
She was not sure whether she
had spoken when Jervls asked her
to open the door. Bran pressed
close to her In tho dark, and when
his warmth touched her she know
that she was cold.
Her silence and the' darkness
touched Jervls with a vague appre
hension. He had come into his
room without switching on the light.
The windows stood wide, and un
curtained, and there came from
them a faint, dusky half light in
which tho accustomed furnishings of
the room took on a strange aspect.
The sky beyond the windows was
pale with the rising moon. .
AH at once the strangeness was
in his own thought. He had for an
instant tho sense that all. this had
happened before In a dream In
some strange place. He and Nan,
with darkness between them; and
Nan weeping In the darkness. It
touched a deep unknown spring
and released a ruBh of some emotion

THHIIK, Mr. Voter of your, OWN interests; and of those of your, neighbor. How
A will they be affected by the coming national election?
THINK, Mrs. Voter of the welfare of your OWN dear ones and of the happiness
of your OWN fireside. How will the outcome of the election touch them?
THINK, Miss Voter, of the problems confronting YOU in the immediate future.
How are your opportunities involved in the presidential election?
Never in the history of this nation was CLEAR THINKING more important.
IN a great crisis, it is but natural that individual misfor
tune should, to considerable extent, cloud the mental
vision of the average citizen.
The troubled affairs of our vast agricultural communities
and our industrial life have affected the clear-seeing and
plain-thinking of great numbers of our people.
As a nation, we are PREOCCUPIED!
And this upon the eve of an election, the outcome of
which probably will have more far-reaching effect upon the
future of the United States than any election in our his
tory. Sound thinking is imperative!
Sane action as a nation is vital!
Do not be misled by the appeal of the demagogue!
THINK before you vote!
THINK before it is too late!
THINK what it means to you and your dear ones!
His appeal is made to the UN- THtNKING.
He has told the fanner what agriculture heeds are lower
taxes and higher prices for farm products.
That is not news to the farmer.
It is not news to the administration at Washington which
has labored unceasingly in behalf of the interests of agriculture.

This is an appeal to the THINKING people of America,
on the farms, in the villages and towns and in the great
metropolitan areas. All have been affected by the economic
disturbance which has swept over the world during the last
few years. All will as surely bo affected by the action they
are to take November, 8 through their votes in the national
election.
Calmly but resolutely, Herbert Hoover has combated,
almost single handed, the devastating effects , upon this
country of the economic and political conflagration which
has left so much ruin in its wake throughout the rest of the
world.
He has stood steadfast, in the face of demagogic abuse
on the part of rival political partisans. He has fearlessly
protected the nation from exploitation at the hands of sel
fishly inspired politicians or ill-advised groups of citizens.
He initiated measures to check the progress of the economic
disturbance. His statesmanship saved America from de
struction by saving Europe from complete collapse. He
AVERTED GKEATEK DISASTER than has been visited
upon our people.
His leadership has brought the country through the dark
est stages of the trouble and we are now justified in tho
belief that the worst is over.
Shall we risk a change at the helm of government now?
COMPARISON of prices of farm products In America,
disheartening as thtty have been, with prices for similar
products in other countries of the world should convince
anyone of the effectiveness of the present administration's
efforts to save the American farmer from the fate of the
agricultural population of the rest of the world.
Franklin Roosevelt HAS FAILED to offer the THINK
ING farmer anything on which to base hope for realization
of the improved condition he so glibly intimates would
follow his election. ' , , ;!
He has SUCCEEDED in convincing the THINKING
FARMER that the Democratic candidate haa NO WORK
ABLE PROGRAM.
He is lost in the maze of conflicting agricultural pana
ceas that have been advocated so long by various groHpa,
and his childlike attempts' to present a program that would
catch the votes of all have resulted in a vague declaration
of policy that reeks with insincerity and is so laden With
inconsistencies that even the most puerile mind C60ld hot
be misled into accepting it as genuine.
The day for FAKING THE FARMER Is Hast!
The candidate of the Democratic party has presented his
case to the people. He has traveled up and down and across
the continent. You have had an opportunity to see or hear
him.
If you have been THINKING, you have observed that he
has offered no logical' program of government.
THE. New York governor may be able to tell the farmer
what agriculture already knows about taxes and the
prices of commodities, but he has failed to contribute any
thing to sane discussion of remedies.
His declarations upon other important questions have
been equally vague and unconvincing insofar as present
ing a program for improvement.
In striking contrast to this, President Hoover's record
proves his ability as an executive, his understanding of the
problems of the American people and his capacity for con
structive endeavor. His unflinching loyalty to the interests
of all elements of our citizenry and his broad humanitarian
accomplishments should leave no doubt in the mind of any
voter as to the safe choice between these two in the presi
dential contest.
A change now would mean Indefinite postponement 'of
economic recovery in agriculture and industry.
