Lon and Htirtan Casad art developing a beautiful htltsid tract into a region of tmatl but beautiful home for people of limited mean. Uut Lon't backing disappear and he mutt took for work. Stiver Ilondon, beautiful young divorce" who hot threatened to tteal Lon from Uarian, ak the Catad for dinner and Uarian overhear UrSwain, Silver fa ther, plot tcith William Brown to tramp a construction lob. Uarian threaten to erpnet tfnStcain. MARIAN'S OFFER "r DIDN'T need to see too man, 1 Mr. McSwaln," Bald Marian. "I beard what be said, and 1 under stood. "Your father's daughter," he sneered.' Vou wouldn't need to see; you know everything, always." "1 know you gave ten thousand dollars to William Drown as a bribe, buying protection for Jie rotten material you lntet4 to use In a school building." "You're out of your senses. Let's talk this o er reasonably: you're too bright a girl to think you know more than the courts of the law." Ho was becoming conciliatory. ' - "In this Instance 1 do now more than the courts," she returned calmly. "I was more fortunate than our District Attorney, 1 found proof " "You what . . . what proof?" no unsafe building wiilcn would house children, Just bo you could save yourself financially." Again the silence. Marian, looking over ber shoulder, was conscious again of the mountain's presence, the brooding quietness of It, a pro tective quietness. Her temper had cooled rfs she talked, now she was wondering If she bad done right In telling this man of the letter. "Young lady," be said, still In that low voice, "you don't know what it mcuns to be desperate. I've been desperate ... a lot of builders have these last few years. This business slump has hurt us worse than any other trade. We've had buildings we thought were sold come back on us, white elephants, new contracts based on credit . . . never cash. I've had a bard life, I'vfl fought ever step of the way and I've come up from a stratum of living you'vu never known, couldn't com prehend. I've never Intended put ting up a building that wouldn't bold . . . wasn't saTo. Our restrictions here In this State are unusually se vere . , . foolishly scvore. 1 only In tended to slash th jin a little . . Just enough to break even. ' A FTEft Brown'd trial 1 meant, before God 1 meant to live ni to my agreement in the contract, "I know you gave Brown bribe," declared Marian. "It Isn't necessary lor mo to tell you what proof I hold. I'll produce It If you do not change your plane on that school building." "You think a bit or a girl can toll me how to run my buslnoss, eh?" "1 know 1 can force you .to build according to the specifications, or I can take a letter I bold written by Cliff Ilondon, before be attempted suicide, to your daugbter " "Intercepting the malls. . . . 1 can bave put put In the Podoral prison." "Oh. no you can't." countered ' Marian. "Silver gave me the letter to read . . . only, tbore was one page she overlooked, a page whlcb tells of how you got the money 10 pay to Brown." "(Java you the letter to road, ehr I knew It you'd had the letter In your possession you would have turned It over to Enrlo'i crowd . . . they'd have paid you well tor surh a thing." "I have the letter." Marian Insist ed. "Someone stuffed It Into my coat pocket thinking It was my note pa per. I found It thcie, ro-road It, dls 1 .covered this Incriminating page. I I knew 1 could do no good by expos ling you then." , A rcSWAIN was convinced, Marian -"I could tell that by bis attitude, 'lie sat down on a rustle bench whlcb circled a magnolia tree In front of the summer house, hoad supported lightly by one arm. The mention of Cliff Ilondon, the one rati besides Brown who know of his duplicity bad convinced him. "Where Is that letter nowT" he asked at length. In a low volet. "In a safo place," Marian an wcrr-d. "I'm koeplng It thcro. 1 had Intended giving It back to Silver, soon after I found It, but she dls appeared from the city. I've only known since this aftornoon whero to reach her." "And now you're returning ItT" "Not after wbot I board tonight. 1 don't reel I have the right to. You weren't satisfied with sacrificing Cliff Ilondon, you were going right on with your criminal plan to build but . . . Silver could bavo helped . . . she won't, 1 don't know vhat's got into the girl. She lovos money net tor than nny humnn being I've ever known and yet" he throw up both hands. "She won't marry Blaine Kelly," offered Marian. Here, said a cunning thought to Marian, Is where you may drive a burgaln. If she marries Ulalne, It monns Lon's protection fruin Silver. , At this thought Marian's head came up. She didn't want Lon pro tected. If he preferred Sllvei to her. sho didn't want him, no half loaf would satisfy her. Thlr .is what Humlln had meant that night In Reno when he sold "You'll de mand what you want wtihout com promise. If you enn't have K you'll take loneliness and honor as barren substitutes." "Woll, young lady," McSwaln stood up, facing her, "what do you Intend to do?" Marian hesitated only a moment "This," she nnaworod. "1 know the light you business men have bad and how desperate many of you must bo. My own husband bas bad his shnro. His Inheritance wai stolen from him, leaving him pennl loss. Ho hasn't been able to llnd work, though ho's looked ror weeks and weeks. And ho is young. He bai bis wholo tlfo ahead or him. You men t so young, It's harder tor you to start over. "Hay tnlr with your contract. 1 wnnt you to ask ror a Stato Inspec tion at tho completion or your build ing. You hnvo a good reason ror thta. You can say. that due to the ques tioning ot your honor brought about by llrown's trial for bribery, you would llko to protoct joth your self and the yoi-itf, man who was charged, by having an outside agency check your work. IT yoc will do this, I will tell no one, not even my husband, that I have proof of your guilt In the bribery con splracy. Ilow obont It?" (Ccytit. Z0.lt. J, nm) Fatt. tomprrow.

(AP) It la a confident and buoyant government which Is preparing to celebrate Its seventeenth birthday here November 7. The bolshevlst leaden who will mount Lenin's tomb that day to re view the uiual parade of soldiers, sailors, workers and peasants, have overcome msny of the obstacles which the Soviet union faced when it laid Lenin to rest ten years ago.- The particular reason for rejoicing among the Kremlin leaders this year la the success of the collective farm ing plan. With nearly 70 per cent of the farm families of the Soviet Union in colllectlves and with a crop collection this year which the gov ernment says Is as large as last year's In spite of bad weather conditions, Stalin and his associates feel the ag ricultural problem Is well on Us way to solution and the battle with ku laks la practically at an end. State farms have not made a good showing, but they are being split up Into smalller units so as to correc; the lack of labor which has hand'. capped the farms run under the dl dect supervision of the government. Siberia Is the weakest spot In the agricultural program. The vast ter ritory made a poor showing In grain contributions, falling far short of the plan. The government attributes this to Inefficient party direction and a general shakeup Is In progress In Chellablnak and other sections where the kulak Influence has not been ov ercome. While light Industry has made a rather disappointing showing so far this year, heavy Industry has almost fulfilled Its plan so far and special effort la being mads to finish the twelve-months with a perfect record. Copper, lead and brass have fallen far behind pig Iron, steel and other branches of heavy Industry. Crude oil has also lagged. The Russian communist party ap parently Is In good condition. There are no evidences of any quarrels among Important leaders. Rakow sky, Kamenev and other associates of Trotzky who confessed their errors, have been forgiven. RakowsXy Is now In Japan at the head of the Russian delegation to the International Red Cross. Fear of attack by other powers which existed In Lenin's declining days no longer has the paralyzing effect It did then. While the bol sheviks are active In diplomatic ef forts to avoid war. their great army In Eastern Siberia and new Industries with an output far In excess of czar lstle days have given them confi dence that they can take care of themselves. Furthermore they feel the exam ple of a strong workers' government which Moscow has given to the masses, has stirred up opposition to war w.ilrh will deter imperialistic governments from hostile action. THE PURCHASE By GLUYAS WILLIAMS BRINGS $5 FINE In the case of Fred Foster, 404 Crater Lake avenue, confining a plf ; In a small pen In the mud, with no shelter or opportunity to get out of, the mire, the Humane society's con- j tjsri linn that. tVila sra a nia1f i ' mala was sustained by the Justice court.
