CHAPTER CCCLXXXIX
THE REFUGE OF JACK'S BROTH
ERLY LOVE
Oh. Jack. Jack!
Thank God!"
Thank God!
As I saw my brother-cousin. Jack
Rickett. whom I had so long
mourned as dead, coming toward me
in Lillian Underwood's living room,
I stumbled to my feet, and with no
thought of spectators, or of any
thing save the fact that the best
friend I had ever known had come
back to me, I rushed Into bis arms,
and clung to him wildly, sobbing out
all the heartache and terror that had
been mine since Dicky had left me
in so cruel and mysterious a man
ner. I felt as a little child might -ho
had been lost and had suddenly
caught sight of its father or mother.
The awful burden that had been
'mine lifted at the very sight of
Jack's pale face smiling down at
' me. I knew that" someway,' some
how. Jack would straighten every
thing out for me.
"There, Ihere. Margaret," Jack's
well-remembered tones, huskier and
-weaker by far than when I had last
heard them, soothed me, calmed me.
"Everything's going to come out. all
right. I'll see to it all. Sit down
and let me hear all about it."
There was an indefinite air of
embarrassment about him which 1
could not understand at first. Then
I saw beyond him the lovely flushed
face of Katherine Sonnon, and in her
eyes there was a faintly troubled
look.
I read it all in a flash. Jack was
embarrassed because I had so impet
uously embraced him before Kath
erine. and she, I wondered if by
any possibility she could resent my
- greeting Jack so affectionately.
. Things must have progressed very
- rapidly with them. I thought with a
little chilled feeling at my heart, if

Jack felt embarrassed at my greet
ing after his long absence, his terri
ble wound, and my belief that he
had been killed. I withdrew myself
from his embrace abruptly, and drew
a chair for him near E.y own.
"Tell Me Everything."
"Are you sura you ?re lully ri
covered?" I asked, and I saw Jack
look wonderingly at the touch of
formality in my tone.
"No. I cannot say that," he re
turned gravely, "but I am so much
better off than so many of the other
poor chaps who survived, that I have
no right to complain. Mine was a
body wound, and while I shall feel
its effects on my general health for
years, perhaps all my life, jet I am
not crippled."
His tone was full of thankfulness,
and all my pettiness vanished at the
sudden, swift vision of what he must
have endured. The next moment he
had turned my thoughts into a new
channel.
"Margaret." he said gravely. "1
am terribly distressed to hear from
Katherine that your husband has
gone away in such a strange man
ner." So she had already told him! Tha
little pang of unworthy jealousy
came back but I banished It.
"Now there must be no more time
lost," he went on. "You have had
no man to look after things for you.
but remember.now. your old brother-
Jack, is on the Job.
"First, I must know everything
that occurred on that last day. Did
you notice anything extraordinary in
his demeanor, the last morning you
saw him?"
This was the old Jack, going di
rectly to the root of the matter,
wasting no time on his own affairs
or feelings when he saw a duty be
fore him. I felt the- old sway of
his personality upon me. and an

swered his questions as meekly as a
child might have done.
"He was just the same as he had
been every morn-ing since my acci
dent," I returned.
'H-m." Jack thought a long min
ute then began acain.
"Tell me everything that hap
pened that day. every -visitor you
had, don't omit the most trifling
thing." he commanded.
He listened attentively as I re
called Harry Underwood's visit, and
Robert Gordon's. At my revelation
that Robert Gordon had said he was
my father. Jack's calm. judicial
manner broke into excitement.
"Your father!" he exclaimed, and
then after a pause: "I always knew
he would come back some day. Rut
go on what happened when he told
you he was your father?"
I went on with the story of my
struggle with my cwn rancor against
my father, of my conviction that 1
had heard my mother's voice urginp
my reconciliation with him, of my
father's first embrace and kisses,
even of the queer smothered sound
and the slamming of a door which 1
had heard. Then I told him of tr.y
father s gift of money to me, which
I had not vet touched, but I noticed
that toward the last of my narrative
Jack seemed reoceupied.
-
"Be Very Bravo."
"Did your husband corae home to
Marvin at all that day?'' he asked.
"Xo, he never came bak from the
city after he had once gcae in, until
evening."
"But are you sure th?.t this d.iy
he did not return to Marvin?" he
persisted. "How do you know?"
"Because no one saw him," I re
plied, "and he could hardly have
come back without someone In the
house seeing him."
- He said no more, as Lillian nd
Katherine cans up just then, and
the conversation b.pame general.
To my surprise I did not see Ja'k
again after that first visit. Kath
erine explained to me that he had
been called out of own on urgent
business, but the explanation seemed
to me to savor of th,j mysterious ex

HAM KAUTZMAN

Peopl

Not Proper
The people of St. Helens are in
sympathy with Ham Kautzman, for
mer publisher of the Houlton Her
ald, because of his advanced age
and because they believe he has been
punished sufficiently, but they do
not want the newspaper in the town
holding it an improper publication.
This is one of the concluding par
agraphs in a report to Governor Ol
cott by Millar E. McGiWhrist, of the
attorney general's office, after a
close investigation into the circum
stances attending Kantzman's con
viction. Kautzman is doing time in
the Multnomah county jail for libel
District Attorney Gien K. Metsker of
Columbia county having been the
complaining witness against him.
Mr. Kautzman has been in Jail Bince
June 7, this year, and has a total of
495 days to serve. Ho is 72 years
old. Prior to his conviction it is
stated that he had beea convicted by
the federal courts ia 19 IT. for send
ing obscene matters thnvtrh the
mails in the shape of copies of his
newspaper, and that he served a
sentence In a federal jail. i

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair
If yoo want to keep your hair In
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and

tirely greaseless), is much better
than anything else you can nse for

CHILD'S SHOES
Also Cuts Her Hair, hut Po
lice Are Unable to Find
Miscreant
For the second time within a few
weeks. Chief of Tolice Varney has
been informed that a negro had been
annoying and frightening a little girl
on East Waller street, the last com
plaint coming in yesterday.
The first complaint stated that a
negro had stopped Goldie Gldley.
about 12 years old, living at 1565
Waller street, and the report alleged
that the negro had cut the little
girl's hair.
Upon investigation the police
found that no one except the child
claimed any knowledge of the mis
creant, and that the little girl might
have done the damage to the locks
herself, having expressed the desire
previously that she be permitted to
have her hair bobbed, and having
been refused this desire by her par
ents. The "negro" had only parti
ally clipped her locks at that, but
the cut had to be finished, so the
miss naa ner way.
The offense of the "negro" yester
day, was that b had stopped the
Child two times during the day, and
had taken her soes away from her
on both occasions. The shoes hap
pened to be old ones, not particular
ly liked by the little girl, and as
the orricer who looked the ease up
found one shoe of each pair In some
brush where they had evidently been
hidden, there was not much develop
ment in te case, except that Goldie
will probably get a new pair of
shoes. The parents of the little girl
did not state to the officer that they
had seen the reported intruder, no
neighbors were found who had seen
the Ethiopian, and no traces of him
were visible at the place where the
little girl reported the encounter. The
parents will work with the police In
noyance.

Has the law of supply and demand
been repealed? Has combination re
placed competition? Is there no such
thing as a free, open market? Has
the competitive regime run its course
and have we now entered Into an
era of arbitrary fixation of prices?
