SEYMOUR'S LETTER
1 SHOOK my head. "It'a frightfully
kind of you," I broke In. "You've
been an absolute brick all through,
and I can never begin to thank you
sufficiently for a quarter of what
you've done." i paused. "All the
lame," I added, "if you won't think
me ungrateful I'd rather be alone
for the next few houra. I I want to
jet things straight in my own mind."
"Why, of course." Mr. Cresswell
seated himself beside me. "You do

you feel you would be better by
yourself, well and good, voni try
to think too much, however. Look
on it all as a wretched mlstakelhat's

"Well, we shall see," I remarked.

asked.
"Certainly I do: at least ninety-
sine out of a hundred. There are
always a few fools about who like
to flatter themselves that they know
better than the Jury, but you can
take it from me that every sensible
man who has followed the case will
be absolutely convinced of your In
nocence. That reminds me" he put
bin hand In his breast pocket "I've
got a note for you here from your
cousin.
"What Seymour?" I inquired.
He nodded. "It was sent round
to my office this morning with
covering letter. He expressed a wish
that It should be handed to you be
fore you left the court"
I SLIT open the envelope with a cer
. 1 tain curiosity. Even In the midst
of my own troubles I had found time
to wonder more than once what
- sort of emotions the arrest and trial
sf his nearest relative had aroused
In the mind of my distinguished
kinsman. The note bad been ad
Irested from 3, St. James's Mnn-
f-one, and was dated the previous

Xly Dear Nicholas.
Since you will receive thle as
soon ae you have been cleared of
the appalling charge at present
banelng over you, 1 hope to be the
first to offer you my congratula
tion! and to express the profound
relief which the nen-e of your ac
quittal will bring to your family
and frtenria.
I am extremely anxious that, be
fore you take any atepa at all with
regard to your future, you should
tle me the opportunity of offering
you my advice and assistant:. I
ahall be at home tomorrow eve
ning from nve to eeven-thlrly, and
1 trust and hope that you will come
strnlglit here directly you are at
liberty to do so.
Your affectionate cousin,
Seymour Trench
1 folded up the missive and re
placed it In Its envelope.
"What has he got to say about it
II?" I asked.
"H.ive you teen him or talked to
lm?"
Mr. Cresswell hesitated. "We had
an Interview at my office. He wanted
lo know whether any money would
be required In order to provide for
your dotpnee, but I assured him
that, as far as that side of the mat
ter was concerned, there was no oc
casion to worry. I need hardly add
that he was extremely agitated and
and distressed."

myself intelligibly Just at present
I'll ring you up in the morning and
we'll make an appointment "
He shook my hand again. "That's
the luea," he replied. "You only want
a rest as I've alreedy told you. Oo
home and take things easy, and In
a few hours you will be looking at
everything In a fresh light. Remem
ber you have nothing to bother your
head about now nothing what
ever." We walked out together Into the
corridor, where we found the warder
lounging against the wire netting.
I am going to leave my client
In your bands now," said Mr. Cross
well. "We should like to avoid any
unnecessary fuss or publicity, so If
you can see blm off quietly as you
suggested ..."
Quite easy, sir," chimed in the
other. "There's a way out at the back

Putting on my hat and carrying
my coat, I accompanied him down
the staircase. On the next landing
we turned to the right, and nego
tiating another passage and a sec
ond short flight of steps, arrived al
a closed door which was evidently
our destination. My companion pro
duced a key.

same as everyone else."
I offered hi a my hand. "1 think
you've been very considerate," I
said. "It I'm ever tried for murder
again I hope I shall be In your
charge."
His face expanded In a broad grin.
and giving me a friendly grip, he
swung open the door.
The Or thing I did when I got
outside was to search for a clgaret.
It was a wonderful feeling to be at

Replacement Boom Spurs
Business in Many Lines
Psychology of Public
More Like Old Boom Days
By Elmrr W. Peterson.
STOCKHOLM. (AP) Sweden has
recovered from the depression, on the
Biirfacft at leant, and largely through
a so-called "replacement" boom that
flnda hotels buying chin aware and
furniture, farmers purchasing new
tractors, and the man In the atreet
spending as In days of old.
In aom ways, economists and ob
servers are agreed, this nation of 6,
000,000 people has passed the high
point of 1(?29 prosperity.
Psychology Change.
Most imijortant, It la pointed out,
la that the psychology of the public
la approaching that of the boom
yeara before the depression set In.
Money la being spent. Industry on
the whole, la busy. The farmers,
with two good crops to their credit,
are satisfied. Employers end work
men are on good terms.
Statistics can be brought to bear
from almost every angle In what eco
nomists admit la an a I moist freakish
situation.
t;n employment Down.
Only 80,000 persons are without
work, or slightly more than one per
cent of the entire population. A year
ago about 144,000 persons were Job
lees. Foreign trade has moved ahead
with gigantic strides. The unfavor
able balance of trade In 1030 totaled
a 76 ,2 5 0.0OO. m 1833 this was reduced
to 452.000,000. In 1933 to only 14,
250.000. For the first eight months of this
year lmporta have totalled 205,400,
000 and exports 198,500,00.
Iron . Consumption t'p.
Domestic consumption of Iron,
steel and wood has reached a high
point, In what economists accept as
a most Important indicator of an
upward trend.
A marked difference of opinion pre
vails aa to the extent to which this
economic recovery can be credited to
government policy, elnce the public
works program of the social demo
crat government got under way only
a year ago. Sweden's Immense nat
ural resources and favorable foreign
trade factors likewise are given credit.
HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Nov. 38.
(AP) Hollywood rubbed its eyes,
looked again to make sure, but the
newspaper headlines told the story:
Margaret Sullavan, screen actress,
elopea to Yuma, Ariz., and marrlea
her director, William Wyler. They
met only eight weeks ago.
This was Wyler's first marriage.
Mlna Sullavan was divorced two yeara
ago from Henry Fonda, New York
actor. Wyler Is 33 and was born In
France. Ml as Sullavan who Is 23, was
born In Norfolk, Va.
HAS PLAN TO GIVE
10,000,000 WORK
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Not. 37.
(AP) Senator Thomas D. Schall,
Republican, Minnesota, In a letter
today to President Roosevelt offered
a program which he said would put
10,000.000 unemployed to work In
six months.
Half of them would be at work In
90 days and 3.000.000 In 30 days.
Schall said, "by the simple process
of producing what we consume in
the United States."
Remove the limitations on produc
tion of augar 1n the United States.
That will put 2,000.000 men to work
and require erection of 300 sugar
refineries. Place a duty on blackstrap
molasses. That, said the senator,
would create a demand for corn,
driving Us price to $1 a bushel and
employ 2.000.000.
Raise duties on textiles, canned
fish, gloss, pottery, meat, milk, fresh
vegetables, shoes, electric globes. Iron
and steel, copper and ccat and va
rious other manufactured goods, and
3,000,000 persons will be employed.
Employment of these 7,000,000, In
turn, will create such demand for
(products that it will take 3,000,000
more to produce them.
Senator Schall explained thla was
offered purely aa a constructive pro
posal. He has persistently criticised
the new deal.
