i Suicides and Failures j
ONE of the wddestthinss to note iri times of business re
versal is the number of suicides. In Portland the county
coroner reported twelve suicides in September, out of 50
deaths which came under his jurisdiction. The reasons for
.i ... ! i i. it. s nou f hot rtiiainpqq
- tne suiciaes were noi lisieu, out. it i ec w oj
ohditions were primarily responsible. Men who thought
they were in comfortable financial situation suddenly find
themselves almost destitute. The world which fawned at their
success grows cold at their failure. There are no jobs.- Oth
ers whom they may have helped attain positions of power
now withhold a helping hand. They get plenty of sympathy
perhaps, but nd tangible assistance, not even a chance to be
gin again fromj a humble footing. .'. .
So it is that the spirit is broken; and a man is a weak
fighter who fights with a broken, spirit. We can remember
men who were wiped out in the paic o 1893. Some of them
had retrieved their fortunes and regained success; others
fought on bravely; but never recovered their former posi
tion. So it will be with 1930-1931. Some have "gone broke
and of them many will never forge fresh success for them
selves. Their age may be against them, or lack of credit, or
they may have lost confidence in themselves which jis quite
indispensable, j l ' ' . ; . A
On the other hand the foundations of many fortunes are
now being laid.l Men with ready money are sorting out the
bargains. They will prof it by the panic of others who throw
overboard their possessions in a frantic scramble for perfect
security. j
We set too much store by property in this country. The
man who fails in business feels keenly a "disgrace". The feel
ing is wrong; arid there certainly is no disgrace to be engulf
ed in a financial current which has swept under some of the
most powerful individuals and institutions in the country.
The world has other riches than commercial success. The man
for example, who raises a fine family deserves higher praise
than he who gouges hi3 w ay to a millionaire rating.
i
' ; i Neuner Has the Itch -
GEORGE NEUNER, U. S. district attorney of Portland,
has been down in southern Oregon, smelling around, as
his custom-is, concerning his chances for annexing some new
office. It is remembered that Neuner blew hot and cold for
many months over the governorship of the state; finally con
cluding that Onfc pay warrant from Uncle Sam was worth
more than two from the state which he had no chance of get
ting. This time George is going without his hat to see if the
senatorial lee can't sting him. The Ashland Tiding3, report
ing his visit in that fair city, makes notes that Mr. Neuner
"is being prominently mentioned for the republican nomina
tion for the U. S.I senate." ! . .
George is, oh so coy, when this "prominent mentioning
is brought up. He blushes and makes "no definite announce
ment"; but lest the public drift away he hastens to add that
he is "considering seriously" seeking the nomination, adding
I the usual language of the self-starter politicians ; "in view
! of the insistence of my many friends throughout the state".
We quote the rest of the Tidings news story :
' i ' , j "Questionejd as to rhat platform he wofcld seek th-s nomin
I tloa on. shonld he decide to be a candidate. Mr. Neuner said
' that his policies were veil known throughout Oregon. He Is a
dirt farmer and la not In complete accord with the administra
tion farm poUeies, but belieres that-more efficient methods of
MlleTlne; the- agricultural depression may be evolved.
Mr. Neuner's prominence in-dry circles In the state leave no
doubt as to his stand on prohibition.
"However., Mr. Neunef'says, "I believe in S representative
government and should Oregon as a state vote for the modifica
tion of the repeal of prohibition I could but act according. How
f aver. 1 hop that no such, action will undo the work of the last
sJels"''" " I
Now we know just what platform! George will run on,
if, when and as he runs: "dirt farmer", facing both ways on
farm relief, and "what have you" on prohibition. And this is
the material with which our dear, beloved country must be
saved! ; j ( ' ' .

CHAPTER XXXVni
Jim Wynter had listened to
these "explanations" with a flick
er of Ironical humor. in bis smile.
It was a glib story, plausible-
sounding enough to be believed
by an outsider. But Wynter ; re
membered the cold deliberation of
It remembered, too, those words
be had overheard from Martin,
when these men had believed
their quarry had escapad them:
"What does this interfering
fool, Wynter, t suspect, to bring
him nosing about here? We've
got to stop him, before . he can
find out anything to make him
dangerous! . J
Damningly conclusive enough
that! I .;
These men must have seen him
in the grounds, recognized him
perhaps at tse moment when,: as
he remembered now, he- had
paused near the ruins to light a
cigaret and hurried back to the
house for that weapon, planning
deliberate murder!
"Well, let us hope you'll be
able to persuade the police!" Jim
Wynter said lightly. "But If you
merely wanted to scare off tres
passers, why use a silencer? Does
not that fact rather weaken an
otherwise quite good story when
the report of a shot would have
been so much more effective for
that purpose? By the wafr, Frome,
I wonder if you havQ a police per
mit to carry a firearm? '
Frome did not answer. ;
"You may hare only fired to
scare off gome supposed trespass
er, but nearly shot a friend of
mine!" cried Sant. "And if you
land In ' prison over this,; you'll
get no sympathy from me. Clear
out of this, Frome, and don't
show your face here again. As for
you, Martin, mind you've cleared
out from Beggar's Court by ten
tomorrow!"
Dejection
Martin seemed on the point of
further protest, but Sant turned
on his heel. A very dejected Mar
tin, shivering In his wet clothes,
made his way back to the; house,
ws-lst Frome flung himself off
across the grout.as. f. ' '
) "My dear chap, I can't say how
this has disturbed me," cried
ant to Jim, as they walked to
the house. "It must have been an
Unnerving experience to you."
I "Me? I was scared stiff!"
laughed Jim. i
"But I thought you'd driven
back to London. I was amazed to
find you hera."" I I
"Oh. we had to come back to
the village unexpectedly after Bin
Grayson had interviewed the
house agent about Manorwaya."
Jim said vaguely "and we brees-
ed along to Beggar's Court on the
chance yon hadn't gone yet. BiU
was detained,- and I came on first,
and strolled across the grounds
till he turned up."
Perhaps not a very convincing
story but he could hatrdly tell
Sant the exact . reasons that had
brought them back unexpectedly
to Beggar's Court or the use for
which that flash powder had been
designed. M
That, plan that had brought
them secretly back was out of the
question now, f course, i But It
had been far from a wasted jour
ney, Jim felt. He had learned a
good deal tonight.
So those hidden enemies had
begun to be afraid of him, afraid
he was finding out too much. Ac
cordingly they had planned that
he should disappear, as Creyke
had disappeared, as Severn had
disappeared. I I
Jim Wynter gave a sudden shiv
er at the thought of how nearly
their plan had succeeded.
"Well, yoq'll come in and have
a drink?" said Sant hospitably.
"That makes Bill's face grow
wistful! And I confess it sounds
good to me after a somewhat hec
tie half-hour." Jim responded.
Sant led tha way into the li
brary, where a " cheerful fire
biased on the hearth. Jim dropped
into a deep chair and took a cig
aret from Bill's case.
Apology
"Ton know I'm horribly dis
tressed about this unfortunate af
fair, my dear fellow." i Sant said
again. "You certainly ought to
make It a police affair; a salutary
lesson to those two blundering
fools. At the same time It's no
excuse, of course I know that
Martin has been worried ' lately
by figures he's seen more than
once in the grounds at night. Just
trespassers after the rabbits. I ex
pect but It's got on his nerves
in this lonely place, especially af
ter what's happened here.- ,

Tomorrow: fThe war Will Never end for Them"
Sant broke off a little awkward
ly, to add:
"As for Frome, I'm surprised
he hadn't more sense. Usually, I
believe, he's quite a decent sort.
After all, if It had teen poachers,
not much harm i done after all.
eh? But I'm very sorry it happen
ed, very sorry Indeed, Wynter. It
worries me."
And there was a harassed frown
on the round, moon-like face.
"In otter words. vSant, yon
mean you don't want me to go to
the police about this? Just let it
drop?" said the younger man
bluntly.
Sant shrugged his shoulders.
"I hardly like to try to influ
ence your judgment, Wynter. You
have had a damned unpleasant ex
perience. Only Martin's been a
good servant and, now that my
first heat's over, I can make some
allowances for the ;man's nervy
condition . . . the shock of his
master's disappearance, of poor
Creyke'a death," he said. "Of
course neither he nor Frome
dreamed it was you;! that's quite
obvious. ; And they've both had a
good scare. Perhaps one might do
tvorse than be magnanimous in
the matter, Wynter.'"
Jim laughed.
"Perhaps I may feel more in
clined to be magnanimous after
I've had that drink you promised
me!" !
Actually, Jim 'Wynter had al
ready pretty well decided in his
own mind before Sant spoke that,
for certain very definite reasons,
he was not going to acquaint the
police with what he knew had
been a deliberate attempt on his
life.
"I'm running off now to fetch
it, my dear chap!" beamed Sant.
And he bustled from the room.
Jim was smiling to himself as
If at a thought in his mind.
"Dashed bad clgareta, these of
yours must be. Bill," he said light
ly. "I can't keep this one alight.
Give me a pipe all the time."

was loading It as he spoke.

As he was about to tear off a
strip, Jim Wynter'a eyes had be
come arrested, grew suddenly
startled. -
The envelope In . his hand bore
his own name, had been i address
ed to him at Beggar's Court, and
the postmark was of that day's
date an opened envelope mark
ed "Private."
The envelope of a letter written
to him that he had certainly not
opened nor ever seen before! .
With a deepening puzzled
frown Jim Wynter stared at tbe
envelope bearing his name. It
had not come by the ordinary pos
tal delivery. As the the envelope
showed, an "express"! fee had
been paid for the letter to be dis
patched direct by messenger from
the postoffice at Trayne. The
date of the postmark told that It
must hare been handed In there
that very day. , ;
The handwriting was quite un
familiar to Jim. Wynter.; "Script"
handwriting rather like a wom
an's it struck him.
"What's biting you, Jim?"
Bill '; Grayson was looking
across at him questionably.
Jim glanced quickly towards
the door to make sure that Sant
in going out. had closed It behind
him. He passed the envelope
acrosa to Bill.
"I've Just found this," he said
In a guarded voice. "In the waste
paper basket. And it's the first
Ive seen of it or known of it."
Search ' j
. Jim Wynter- was on his feet, '
rapidly searching the waste paper
basket, all the while with a'
watchful eye on the door, for the
letter the envelope had contained.
That letter addressed to -him
which someone must have opened
within the last few hours had
opened and intended to suppress.
Some one? Sant, of course. Who
else but Sant?
No sign of the letter in the
wast paper basket. Hurriedly Jim
strode over to the big writing ta
ble in one corner of the library.
Various papers were lying on its
leather-covered top, as though
Sant had been busy there recent
ly. Sant. as he knew, was In the
habit of using this table on his
frequent visits to Beggar's Court.
With rapid fingers Jim hunted
through every paper there. He'd
got to find that letter, if la this
room and find it before Sant
came back.
The letter was not on the table.
Bill Grayson had crossed over
to the door, to listen for the first
warning of returning footsteps

Dear Sir: I, emigrated to the Pa
cifies country for better health and
the pleasantness' of' its climate.:
Both these we hare enjoyed. ;We
have had no sickness worth men

bills to pay. We have had an in

We have also gained in wealth
