His story, "The Bondage of Ballinger", is very beautifully told. I found that Roswell and Eugene, the poet, were brothers; also that this book of Roswell's is an acclaimed book.

The first reader of this book used his finger~ to separate the uncut pages—so showing, himself to have been an unworthy book reader; the pages were sadly torn.

Monty had been a spectacular, figure en his' return from the dead." Itis romance had kept the page open to him for` another day, but after that there were more thrilling stories than his new preoccupation with work, his hours spent on the plane and on the revision of the ,flight organization. Natalie herself was writing a new series of features and found herself engrossed. Life' was returning to its old round. Even Mack Hanlon .was little inter- ested in the story of the new flight attempt. But at last the day of the take -off came. - - The plans had been changed now. The start was to be made from the home airport. New York was only one of the refueling stops. The last leg' of the flight would be down the coast from Nome. Before dawn they were at the field. Jimmy' was there with his' flashlights going to record the new scene and the altered plane. And Sunray Marion was there. It ways the first time Natalie had seen her in weeks. The change in her ap- pearance shocked the older. girl.. It Was not possible that this was the golden beauty of a few weeks before. The Time had been trundled out to the runway, Its motor was turning br•.iskly. The dockers were in their own places. Grease -monkeys swarmed about. And because it was the first start of an international flight from, the small port,, there was a goodly' crowd of curious onlookers. Natalie moved through the crowd fel a sight of. Mont. At last she found him talking with Jabe Marion and the little radio operator. She joined the small party and stood at Mont's side. "Good luck .and success this_ time, boy." She spoke in a low tone. "I've got a bet right on your nose." CONTINUED NEXT WEEK I have been reading a story about trite, and would assurs his wile that' he would change his ways, yet, always temptation outfought duty, 'So debts piled up, and cares beeaine heavy. Ono clay, when he was going home- ward, with groceries and books in his arms, the old- booldover collided with a girl who was roller-skating. I The chile 1 was clic daughter of a mil- lionaire wholesale grocer. She knew the .old man by 'sight -"Old Books" was his name to the children of the neighborhood; and she knew, too, his wife, "Aunt Thou", famous for her calces, So began an association last -1 ing for the rest of the old man's life; The child went to his home every' week, and the old man taught her to love books even as he loved them, and made her book -wise. I This association changed the g'irl's mind and nature—made her very lov- 1 able; and in rater -years her' love for; the old man and his' wife found fine' expression. In the course of time the old man quit printing and became the owner of a bookstore, specializing in mare books. He was indulging his dreams and desires. But, alas, he did not want to part with the rare books which he got at auction sales and otherwise. These treasures he took home, to add to his collection. It was not to be wondered at, therefore, that he found himself getting in worse. plight than ever. Then disaster , threatened him: creditors lost 'their e patience, and he was about to be sold e out. Then the daughter of the mil- lionaire grocer persuaded her father er to get the old man a public library - appointment, and his slim salary was augmented, by stealth so that' the - gentle "Aunt Thou" had plenty for -!all her needs, and the middle-aged He servant began to get regular wages. .1 But this peace was threatened: the landlord had sold the old man's house to a company which planned to build an apartment house on the property where stood the old man's dwelling. This was grief to the old man. Hee had learned to love his old house and the views from its windows. He was too old to welcome any change. Then something quite wonderful happened. The young woman who had been so fine a friend had a re- plica of the old man's home built on her father's estate; and on a day when the old man and his wife were lured away to a picnic, the old man's boosts and other possessions were transferred to the new abode, whose windows gave the same vistas, Here the old man and his patient, gentle, loyal, loving wife ended their days. Once the millionaire grocer, in a spirit of friendliness, went to "The Professor°, as he called him, and of- fered him $15,000 for his book collec- tion, with the ideaof presenting it to the city public library. But the old Buffalo Disappears Fro1ir Five -Cent Piece ' The United States is going' to,, have a new nickel—the first in: 25 years. The treasury has announced that the familiar buffalo nickel will be succeeded by one honoring Tho- mas Jefferson, third president of the United States. The law* says a new nickel design can be issued only every 25 years. That period' will be up February 21. Secretary Morgen- thau decreed the new nickel must show Jefferson's on one side andlliis• famous home, Monticello on the oth- er. ther. The exact design will be decided in a $1,000 prize contest to be judg- ed by Mrs. Nellie Taylor Ross, direc- tor of the mint, and 'tree sculptors Sidney Waugh, Albert Stewart and Heinz Warneke. fThis doesn't moan that your old buffalo nickel will not remain worth five cents. In time it may be worth more as a museum piece. There are no accurate figures on the number of nickels in circulation because all' Ismail coins are lumped together in statistics. But to give air idea of how important the nickel is, the mint e man was greatly hurt, saying, "You turned' out 104,832;570 new ones fast , do not understand".
