CHAPTER XXXVIL—(Cont'd.)
"Tell nye what on earth is going on,
Mart," demanded Mrs. O'Hara. •
"Mother—I" Mary Kate began im-
pulsively. But her mother stopped
her.
"Leave your brother talk!" she
commanded. Mary Kato subsided into
e
silence, her whole slender figure
bure
drooping, as she sat at the kitchen
table, her softly tumbled coppery heed
resting on her hand.
"Ma," Martin began, "this Mr.
Steynes here is a friend of Mr. Rowe -
tree's, and they askew our Mary Trate,
last weak, if she would pretend for
two days .to be married td Mr.
Steynes,"
A sharply horrified look at he_'
daughter was Ivlra. O'13ara's reception
of this. Chris essayed to speak,
"The reason being -0 he was be-
ginning, when Mrs. O'Hara silenced
shim ea Shc had her daughter.
"Jest u moment, please!"
"The reason was," Martin resumed,
accepting Chris' opening, "that some
woman was pursuing hint and hoped
he'd ask'her to marry him, She had
followed him out from New York."
"You didn't et yourself ,nixed up
in that sort of thing?" the mother
asked, with a stern and incredulous
look at Mary Kate.
"There was to be money . in it,"
Martin p'irsued relentlessly.
'"Between us and all harm!" Mrs.
O'Hara whispered.
"Look here, illy. O'Hara, you're giv-
ing your mother an entirely false idea
of the whole thing," Chris interrupted
impulsively.
"I'1T take it the way my son gives
it, if you please," Mrs. O'Hara told
hint. .And .again Christopher fell sil-
ent.
"Mary Kate wanted the money for
my German trip," Mart conceded be-
fore continuing.
"Mart," his mother pleaded, "don't
tell me she knew no better than that!"
"Well, anyway," Martin went on,
"she and Mr. Steynes bought clothes,
and she went down there to Burlin-
game—she didn't go to Sacramento at
all—"

made no answer; she did not raise her
head,
"She told.us she was going to Sac-
ramento," Martin, pursued, "but she
went to Burlingame, and when .she.
went to dinner at 7fr, Rowntree's, she
went with 11r. Steynes, here,' and was
introduced as his wife."
"Don't say such things, Mart," Mrs.
O'Hara rebuked him,
"It's true. I drove the doctor hone
that night," the boy said, "and I
saw her. His place is, just opposite
the Rowntree place, and I was start-
ing for .home when 1 saw her come
out on a sort of terrace there, all
dressed up—" ' •
There was absolute silence in the
kitchen, except that Mrs. O'Hara drew
her breath with a soot of whimpering
sound.
"I went kind of crazy, .I guess,"
Martin said. "1 started to come bac}:
to the city, like I always do, keying
the doctor's ear down there, and all
of a sudden something seemed to burst
inside my head—"
"Oh, blessed and merciful Lord--
„
Mrs. O'Hara whispered. Her eyes
were shut.
"I came in here 'round midnight, or
later," Martin said. "You called out
to me, remember? Anyway, I stayed
in my room upstairs until I thought
you were asleep, and then I changed
my clothes, and emptied my pockets,
and drove myself back. I went to
Rowntree's, there were still lights
there. and a maid answered the door.
I said that I bad come to get the
young lady ---the red-haired young
lady—that I was to call for her—.and
she said', 'Oh, that was Mrs. Steynes.
She and Mr. Steynes went hone lotg
ago!' I went back to Burlingame, and
into the telephone office, and asked
the girls there where Mr. Steynes
lived, and they told ore. I suppose
they thought I was his chauffeur, or
had to call for someone at his house,
I don't know,
"For about an hour I walked around
the place, listening and watching. And
after that I began to go crazy again,
thinking of our Mary Kate in there
—and you, and my father,, and a]1 of
us loving her sol And him with his
money-
"You know I wasn't going to kill
hint. But I wasn't going "to let him
get away with that, either—not with
our Molly. And that's what got day
ant, Ma, I never went to Portland
any more 'than she went to Sacra-
mento. Mr, Steynes here got me be-
fore I got him."
Mrs. O'Hara looked at her eon for
an endless moment.
"And Mary Kate wasn't there at
all!" she whispered.
"Oh, yes, she was. She was up-
stairs in his room."
"
m.
"You liar!" Mary Kate said simply,
with a look.
"Allow me to say that you ave
gotten an entirely false idea of the
whole thing," Chris interpolated auth-
oritatively and impatiently. "This is
all nonsense! Your daughter teak
part in a little masquerade, and ex-
cept for her brother following her,
and causing a lot of polite intrr'fer•
cote, nothing would have come of it
at all,"
"Police interference?" echoed the
mother's voice.
"After the shooting. Yes. But the
whole thing," Chris explained, briskly,
"has been closed up. It's done. There's
no follow-up whatever. It was all ex.
treinely foolish,, and we got a bad
break, but it's over. Your son's wound
. _practically healed, I believe he takes
oft the bandages in a few days, .And
as for your 'daughter neve, Mary, she
played her part with a beautiful dig-
rity, and lived up to .her agreement
absolutely. .As for anything else, I
never put my hand, on her. She'll tell
you so. I never kissed hell"
"And furthermore," Cass •adde1,
unexpectedly, "aviary Kate and I are
going to be married, and the sooner
the better. When she tells me that
everythingwas all 01 the level, I be-
lieve her. The whole thing was a mid.
take, but we all make them, and as
far as I'm concerned—I'm never going
to allude to it again!"
"I told you that because it's true!"
Mary Kate said, explosively.
"And now that everything is set-
tled so beautifully, what do we de
with Ms. Christopher Steynes' money,
that can buy him anything?" Mart
asked, in an ugly tone.
"We . de nothing with it, we don't
want it," Cass said.
"Mother," the girl waked, turning
her tear -soaked eyes and stained, pale
face toward the older woman, "do
you believe. me?"
Mrs, 'O'Hara looked at her. Then
her own eyes filled, and she smiled,
and opened her arms. And with a
burst of bitteretears Mary 1late went
into them, sitting on her mother's lap,
straining her slender figure .against
her mother, locking her arms 1aboat
the older woman's neck, and hiding
her shamed face on the breast that
had been her refuge from the first
hour of her life.
CHAPTER XXXVIIL.
"Why, darling girl," Mrs, O'Hara
slid tenderly, "have they all been
har'rd•on you? Has Mart been hax'rd
OD you? You'd only have to tell rile
"Mart only thought what the world:
would think, and we have to remember
the world—we Iive in the world, Mary
Kate did very wrong—but who'd know
the true good heart of her," her moth-
er staid tenderly, with a downward
glance at the :bright head on her
breast,. "if her own mother did not?
She's never refused one of us anm.
kindness. she could ever do us be it
'what it night!' • She'd see only the
money her brother needed, when she'd
step intd.trouble like this, and put her
hand in the fire for any one of us, if
it was only little Pat himself that ast
her to!"
Mary Kate at ,this cried more bit-
terly than ever, and increased her hold
upon -.er mother almost to the
strangling point.
Mrs, O'Hara's 'fine, simple, tirrd
face was deeply worried; her faded
gray eyes were filled with anxiety
still. But, as she had gotten their
tangled affairs in hand a thousand
times before, in the last hard years,
so she was beginning to catch at the
threads of tonight's fresh predica•
meet. Indeed, there was to her a cer-
tain exhilaration, a certain actual
stimulation in this•evidence that "the
creatures" so palpably needed their
mother's guidance still. They were
not so big, so tall, so smart, so fr?e
but what they could get themselves
into trouble, God lo-,., them, and turn
t her, and to nobody else, in the last
pinch, to get them out.

Condensed from Cl:rront History'
(December, 3330)
Soviet Russia, that alio i land, from
Which conies tales of blood and hun-
ger to offend the Western ear, is grow-
ir further and feather away front the
culture which is •passing judgment
1:pon its ways. One by 'one tilt)
familiar Russian churches are torn
down, the small farmsteads. abolished,
and the little shops are closed. The
universities are diseas'ding the Euro-
pean
uropean tradition for the sopie) revolu-
"on. Even the Soviet calendar, with
its lost Sabbath and its five-day week,.
wears a strange face.
Behind this altered facade the Rus-
sian's daily life Ss changing, During
the thirteen years' of the revolutlon
th, Worker has seentwo spiritual
revolutions. The first found hien .a
serf just freed and fired with him the
hope of ordering his. life like that of
the well-to-do workers of the West.
But as factories grew up beside the
rivers and great mechanized wheat
farms changed the Batik virgin soil to
gold,'the Russian's face again turned
eastward, toward the plains of his own
land. Again hie goal was altered, and
today he follows a routine which has
been modified by Soviet experience,
not one which has simply been trans-
planted,
A crowd of Russian office and fac-
tory 'workers going home at tbe end
of a seven or eight-hour day seems
drabber than the English or American
homegoing tbr'ong. A fraction of the
workers In Moscow live in the new
apartment houses which are springing
up on the fringes of the city; bouses
constructed along modern lines, with
up-tAdate plumbing and lighting,
whosecourtyards have gravelled
walks, benches, flowers and fountains.
But there are as yet relatively few
of these. The worker is more likely
to live in one of the older, crowded
section city, s of she where ere big houses
of merchant f i
s o the old regime have
been cut up into apartments, and even
the stable is thehome of a lively flock
of children, or where separate rooms
of former apartments have been let to
families. Here there are no flowers
or fountains.
The place seems impossibly crowded
to the Westerner. Floor space is al-
lotted in proportion to the number of
people in the family, about eight
square meters apiece for workers.
More is given to invalids and mem-
bers of 'the artistic and literary pro-
fessions. Rent in the Soviet Union
is determined by income and economic
position, not by the quarter's occupied.
The intellectual worker may play
about $15 a, month; the worker as
little as $2 a month,
There may be a servant in the
house, however, even for workers who
have little of this world's goods. A
secretary or a teacher who is earning
150 rubles ,•month finds it more pleas-
ant and economical to hire a servant
at 46 rubles a month than to give up
ben professional work and attend to
her household,
Three modest rooms rev a family
of six 111 One of the new workers'
houses ie about the best arrangement
one can find in the overcrowded Mos-
cow of to -day. As a bacltground for
daily life these quarters are not far
different from the fiats of working-
class fa/allies in Berlin or London or
New York. But lo the old houses
th1ng1 are not 80 pleasant, Sometimes
entire families have to live in a single
room, with a common kiitchen which
le shared by ser 1 other families.
Soviet Russia wants to send its
people to eat in cohmnunity kitchens,
on the assumption that the toed will
be more economically Dr0phtl'ed and
that the women will have more time
for their outside with. Children will
be cared for in the common nareeries
and their food prepared 10 the central
kitchens: The food fa good and cheap,

with Rolfe, fork end spoon, and the
constant pushing and hurrying' make
it no setiefaetor'y substitute for the
leisurely meals in the bootee of hospi-
table workfng-class famillee,
For the past few months the Ruesiltn
worker has had to content himself
with plain male of black bread and
tea. Since the spring there have been
no lemons, because fruit has vanished
front the markets. Occasionally the
housewife'can boy cabbage or cheese,
and then there is 0 feast. Flour after
hour the women have to stand in line
with their tickets to procure bread;
teat days and butter days come round
so infrequently and the supply was to
leagre at the government stores, that
many -ot them teatime 1101 to expect
anything there,
With the coming of the autumn
things have been a .little better be-
cause the commodities were no -longer
so acutely needed by the millions
working in the country en the grain
harvest, But food is •sti11 the most
costly item on the Soviet -worker's
family expenses, amounting to almost
half. Clothing and rent each take
up very much less. A regular sum
is allotted for vodka, which is the cen-
tral tr'easurer's most important source
.of revenue.
Clothing le very expensive and very
scarce. But in September when anx-
iety on account. of the coming winter
had become acute, the government,
promised 'the people that everyone
should have a pair of shoes or beets
before the end of the year. At -the:
same time it set up a new department !
for mending and making over oid
clothes. There is little incentive for
the Russian family t0 try to be better

We were spoiling his fun, and we
knew that if he could upset our plans
without openly stopping General Lu's
orders, he would gladly' do it.
So after dark we 'quietly stole out

shadowy, sinister figures moved
about.
Cautiously we crept along the
ground toward the plane, The dark-

"What do they say?"• I asked the

"Big China boy say getee big rock,

So they were going to break the

"What else?" I asked.
"Little China boy say big China

That was enough for me. Feel-
ing around in the dark, I found a big
rock abort half the size of a man's
head. Swinging it back, I tossed it
into the air, so it came down in the
middle of the Crowd.
There was a howl.of pain, and then,
such a time! Each one accused
the other of hitting him, and in no

do it. I gave the propeller a whirl.
"Climb in" I yelled, and we started.

There are movies, theatres and de-
monstrations for diversion. The mov-
ing pictures depict the glory of the
1,3volution, the conquest of the factory
and the farm through machinery, anti
the iniquities of capitalism. The
great denloustlationa occur several
times a year, when the -workers parade
and enjoy the thrid of the music and
the feeling tbat they are taking part
in a great enterprise.
There are no longer the church
services to occupy the spiritual ener-
gies of the people. Only a few older
women atttend them, although they

Seems to have little interest in the
conventional religious seremenies, He
seems more interested in the five-year
elan of credits from America.
This life may seem tante and serious,
But the hours inside the Soviet fac-
tory—there is the thrill for the Rus-
sian worker, The heightened interest
does not lie in the processes them-
selves, and, aside from a passion for
tractor *driving, the Russian worker
has not yet tbe American's interest in
technique. • It lies in the sense of
power and the share in administration.
'The centre of his interest is in the
place where rte works. Day by day,
in aaoeordance with the five -veal' plan,
more machines are set up in the tau -
teaks. Rapidly processes are speeded
up. There are always meetings at
lunch time; turbulent meetings when
carelessness in turning out lighte and
leaving machines badly cleaned is de-
nolnl3ed.
At the end of the day, there is
soihooi; perhaps to learn .simply to
react and write, or it foreign language,
or technical matters, Or perhaps
another meeting to inquire into why
raw materials have been coming into
the factory no slowly.
The workers' calendar is changed,
and his Sunday.and his week-end'bave
vanished. The new ealendar.has days
of five different colors. If the worker
is on the blue set, his ,holiday comes
every fifth day, when that color ap-
pears. Other workers are on different
colors. Continuous operation of the
factory is assured. But the worker is
not entirely satisfied, because his
holiday may come one day, Itis wife's
another, and his eldest child another.
The holiday is apt to be lonely; pee.
