CHAPTER XIX
Burleson smiled bleakly; he *as
like a man who had escaped some-
thing - put something away; he
wa`s detached, hard, unafraid. Fos-
dick stared, at hien, "He's mad!" he
thought,.
"You can call it conscience,"
Burleson said, answering Mark,
".or you can call it loss of nerve. I

about it; a deathbed confession, .I
suppose; something dramatic, Off

son; I was playing for • time; for`
years :I haven't been a well man;
and now the doctors give me two
years at most. I'm going to die,
that's certain. I thought you could
wait, but — I've heard something
about that!" He shifted his posi-
tion slightly, frowning, thinking of
Pam's bowed head; it was true that
she touched the only soft spot, in
his heart. "I see how you feel," he
went On, "but I'm giving you your
revenge. As for myself, I suppose
if a man , does the square thing in
the end, it's something. I've got
Fosdick here to take charge of it:
He can go ahead."
"It'll be ruin, Burleson! My qod,
why didn't you speak then -- or
not at all?" FOSeliek cried.
* .* * .
Burleson, handing him a paper,
looked at him oddly,
"They can't send me to the
chair?"
"They won't; it's second degree,"
said Fosdick dryly. "It's up to me
to get it light for you but this
silence - the other fellow suffer-
ingI' Insane temper, temporary
aberration - no end of money for
alienists; Fosdick saw a hundred
lawyer ways of ..fighting it for
months — he mustn't die in prison!
"I'll make a big light, but—" he
stared at Burleson bleakly — "man,
it's the disgrace — it'll ruin you
all! The country'll ring with it;

• Burleson's grey -face twisted; he
turned and glanced at Mark,
"This' young man here would
say it was fair and that I had my

bitter years, of the convict's tot,: of
his lostyouth, and this 'man 'safe

heard Fosdick's voice - the rasp
in it weakened into a husky growl.
"Two, year? Good heavens; you

it would be only a nine' days' won-

"Yes, the others!" barked Fos-
dick, staring hard at Mark's back;
of course it was a vindication, but
this man — had stood so' high.
Burleson touched the paper `on
his desk. "You'll. put it through,
Fosdick? I'm tired of it; I'll take
it when it comes. Now—" He

The year's at the spring ,
As one -looks around one sees,
plenty of evidence why, since time
immemorial, ' poets have •written
their loveliest poems in praiser of
spring. Autumn is ..beautiful too—
perhaps even. more so=but there,
is a peculiar -quality that belongs,
only lb spring the miracle or
dormant life awakening to tileu•
birth .. , a definite feeling of hope,
of optimism; dispelling those dark,
dreary clouds of defeatism that at
times assailed us when days were
short and gloomy.
4, * * -
I was thinking along these lines
about our lovely spring when, un
expectedly and with tragic sudden-
-mess, carne word of President
Roosevelt's death—and for awhile
all the beauty around me seemed
to vanish. Few men have enriched'
the world so greatly in life as did
the President nor few men whose
death has has been mourned by so
many. And yet, I believe what dis-
tresses people more than his pass-
ing is the fact that he was not
spared to witness the fulfillment Of
that 'victory for which he had
striven so untiringly. But 110---
"untiringly"
o—"untiringly" is not the right word—
for he must often have been tired
to that point of. exhaustion. Sacri-
fically would more aptly describe
his devotion to duty. The wonder
is not that he 'died when be dict
but that he lived so long under
such a terrific strain,
* * *
And now because life must go
on even though .presidents die, we
pay our last respects *to a great
and loyal leader, and then square
our shoulders again „and resume
once more "the daily round".
An Ginger Farm the daily round
right now includes a little job
known as seeding. The air is heavy
these days with the hunt of trac
tors—and I think probably ours
hunts louder than any of the oth
ers. Nothing very modest abou'
our old "trac"—when it goes out
on a job it likes to let everyone
know about it.

And we are also still at the -wit
ing job—at least the electricians
are, Really, we had no idea there
would be so- many wires. What
with furnace pipes,, telephone an? -
hydra wires, there isn't muco
spare -space in the cellar that isn't
decorated in some way or another.
I am wondering when the piPes
will go if, and when, we put in a
hot water system. The men may

Tuesday—that is. .as - far as the
house is concerned—in fact the job•
is almost done already, But oh, the
irony of it! Here we are wi'h
switches and plugs all over the
house and yet, no matter how one
clicks the switches back and forth,
nothing happens. We even have an
electric stove in the house, and
that, too, is about as useful as a
pump without water. -

Every time I go to town 1 look
hopefully along the road to see if
it has been staked out for poles.
So far there is no sign of then.. -
But the day will come . and -
when it does—when we are really
hooked up, I think,for one nigh:,
I shall want to turn on every light
in the house just to celebrate, In-'
stead of . a house-warming we'll
have a house -lighting! And believe
me if - alI the lights were turned
on at one time there - would be
plenty of them, for there are over
sixty outlets in this rambling old
house of ours. People say "Oh,
what lovely big rooms—how grand
to have so much space to Live in I'
es, it's grand all right—we know
