FOURTH I NSTAI,M,nN T
• SYNOPSIS
Jocelyn Herlewel, raised in a
Francb convent, at the age of
eighteen, joins her mother, Mar-
cell; in New York. Worried
about her safety, because she is
unfamiliar with bhe 'mar:tern world
arid ,has developed into a beauti-
ful womare her mother's, first 'wish
Is to get her safety -married. At-
tereleng her first ball, Jocefen
meets Felix Kent, rich, handsome
and nineteen 7ea,rs older than
herself. Encouraged by her
mother, she and Felix quickly be-
come engaged. Aleme , in her
apartmentone night, a cripple,
Nick Sandal, enters by the fire-
eseape, eonfides in her that he
is her father and That her real
name is Lynda •Sandian Uncer-
tain about whether she wants to
get married so quickly, Jeceleu
becomes irritable with Felix and
one night decides to go to talk
•things over with her mysterious
father. As Lynda Sandal she
goes to his house, climbs three
flights of stairs and enters, a
room where he is sitting itb
several men iu t'he micht of Ia
card game to whom he introduces
her as his daughter.
"I want to see you, Father. I got
Out tee way you Showed me. Mother
doesn't know I'm here."
"Nothing wrong then?"
'I felt, that I muat see you. There's
something in me that belongs' to you.
And. I axa really very lenely."
"Lonely? Witte a fiance and a
mother and a crowd of friends?"
"Ilene is still a stranger. Mother
doesn't want to love me; she has told
me so. I have no friends."
Nick put an arm roughly about her.
"All eiget, Lynda. I'll be your
friend_ I (lane mind loving you. Only
it's a rash move on your part, you
know. I'm not the most creditable
parent in the world.
"But look here, old girl. . You're
been caTefully raised in a religious
atmosphere and ell that. Doesn't your
little old conscience say anything
about deceiving a kind mother and
that good, fellow with the neat face
whose photograph you snowed me?"
"My conscience? But, Father,
haven't I a sort of duty to you?
Don't you need me as much as thee
o?"
"No, 1 don't. And you haven't.
Don't fool yourself. You cane bolster
up your conscience with that trick,
my girl."
' Jocelyn began to look passitinate
and her yellow eyes glowed. "All
right. I don't care. Mother won't tell
me any -thing. She hes her secrets and
she keeps them. I shall eave one of
my own. Feltz is as locked up as his
own great big shining safe. They both
keep lifereal life, away from me as
though it were some sort of reptile.
I want to know people, all kinds, of
people, different sorts of people. I
want to know ,how good it is to be
bad, and how bad It may be to be
good. 1 want adventure, risks, dan-
gers; 1 want-"
"You want too much. You're only
a girl and- what's worse, you're a
young lady! Laugh that off if you
an, Miss Jocelyn Harlowe."
"Hush! Not here. Here I'm Lynda
Sandal."
At that Nick threw back his head
nd laughed.
"You win.. Anti I surrender. Lynda
Sandal, I hereby take you as my child
for better or for worse and premise
to show you all the reality and the
deenture 1 can decently supply. In
order to seal our coinpact and to
how my sincerity," he stood up, lift -
01 harel in a great gesture and
raised his voice, "Lynda, I want you
to meet some of my friend's."
At the changed, timbre of his voice,
he four card players turned.
"Boys, I want to present to you my
laughter, Miss Lynda Sandal. Mr.
•ames Drury, Mr. Saul Morrison and
r. Gustave Lowe. Jock Ayleward,
Lynda watching him.
"He's an Old elielnY of mine, 1086
Sandal. He louree like a reae knave
1.1010W."
"Well," draWled"Sandal from be-
hind themwith sudden suave sever-
ity, enext time you throw knives en
my premises I'll kice you out of
there."
Jock turned to melee at him with
sweetness
"Pm, szeiry, Old, Nick, When I
think of that Felix face of his it
brings the devil up into ,my brain, I
go blend."
Jocelyn found herself stammering.
"A F ---Felix 'face? You nieane-tbe
Knave of Diamonds? Why do you
call him that? He reminds you of
some one named Felix whom You
hate?" •
"Well, yes, Mite Sandel. A regular
knave-- -e'
"But, plea& tell me. Felix who?"
"Hold ..• your fool tongue, Tuck,"
ectied Nick fiercely. "And get out of
here. Can't I have iny rooms to my -
gen sometimes vvithout a cub of
• cardebasper loafing about thein!"
Ayleward, scared and blinking, like
a boy that has been cuffed ruthless-
ly unieteltigible, excuse and got him-
self and withouteWerning, muttered
seems out hastily.
Jocelyn turned to her father as the
deer Closed.
"Why did you stop him? Was it -
has it ea -teeing to do with my 'Felix?"
"No, you little idiot! Didn't you
ever her of Felix the Cat? 1 thought
nee You don't know anything, do
ytm? He's a cartoon pussy of vary-
ing adventures. You leave our lingo
alone, girl, uncle give you a few les-
sons. I stopped him because once he
gets on that Felix Cat subject there's
no getting rid of him. Come and slit
down here"
Before she left her father, that
strange adventurous night, Jocelyn
questioned him:
"What is the hunting ground?"
"A gambling place."
"Do you tate my mother?"
' "I've outgrown hatreds,"
"Do you want me to marry Felix
Kent?"
A shrug. "Mr. Dooley eaid, 'Take
tire first one- that •asks you, They're
all alike.' Kent has money so he'll
probable run straight."
"Do you suppose he'll make me
happy?"
"We, My dear. No men- has ever
made a woman happy. She must man-
ufacture happiness for herself, or ac-
euire none." •
"I think that you and my mother
are elik,e."
"Gad forbid!" he murmured.
"You do hate her! I mean, alike
in ties one respect. Neither of yeti
has fcuad thappiness in being loved."
After a long and troubled silence
she asked •him., "When may I come
again to see you?"
"Whenever you please, my dear, or
can make it convenient. I am nearly
always at home. Most of the time on
this old sofa. Every day I find it •hard-
er lo get about."
eOh Father, cant something be
dene?"
He streak bis head.
"Jock has done what he could for
me. He takes care of me now, you
must know. It's fair enougth. There
was a time weep. 1 took care of him."
"He loves you, Father. I can see
that when he smiles."
"He's not a bad scout but don't 'gee
romantic about him, Lynda. He's not
the man your Felix is, for instance.
He les a poor outlook in life and a
character which might be called un-
sta ble."
"He's loyal to you."
" U le hum ."
"There's a sort of stability in

the Was a sort of bulldog. But that's
because, Perham he's not been cod -
died any by life. He knows the value
of the few people that care for him."
"Who else beside you, Father?"
tthe bright-eyed cripple laughed in
a low and taunting key. "About a
doyen women, roughly speaking."
It silenced Lynda on •that theme.
• He put her himself into a taxicab,
I she ,eouteniplated h .tW*, guardians
I Wit11.1-these r changed dense of- 'hers:
"How eau they be so blind? How
,cart they be so bleed?"
They were, however, more sensitive
to her ' perhaps than, she imagined.
One evening Felix questioned her
Heretofore ,Joeelyni b.ad been, the
questioner.
"W,hy," he asked her, Vo you look
so conventional tonight?"
Jocelyn, was -wearing white and her
heir was sleek as an otter's skin
about her &moth face.
"You used: to say I didn't look as
ought to; conventional, teat. is."
"To night you do."
He went over to her, s01 on the
arm of her chair and bent above her,
eapturnag her in one verong arm.
• "Looe, child, I have to be away
from you tor a fortnight presently."
Her heart went plunging, whether for
joy or sorrew sth.e could' not for the
life of her pave told. "When I come
back done you think we could short-
en this engagement of ours a little?
I'm weeny of convent airs. "I want
a wife!"
Jocelyn's( eyes leaped to her mother
for aid, for rescue.
Mareella spoke in measure as
though she vtere•rectiting,
"I can see no reason for keeping
you waiting much longer, Felix. I
did say a four months' engagement
but it seems to me that you have
tested each other's affections now suf-
ficiently, laave bad time to draw close
to each other. Of course we must
wait until the end of the Lenten. sea -
sou. It might be possible to arninge
foe a wedding then. Wthile you are
away in Arieona I shall go to the
sisters. I veil ask Cousin Sara Mul-
let' to come d,nd stay her with Joce-
lyn. I think the child will be glad
to hare this little interval of loneli-
nese. She will be able to prepare
herself for the great -for the happy
change."
The girl looked from one to the
other.
"You mean you'll both go away?
You'll leave me alone here for all
those days before . . . before-?"
Felix bent to her lips. Before his
own fell upon them he said in a low
key, "Much safer for you, my dar-
ling, to be rid of me just now." And
the kiss see dreaded, fell upon her
with the anguish of a blow.
Swiftly the thought came to her, tI
shall be free. I shall be almost free."
. "I, thinethink," she said and there
was an echo in her voice of Nick San-
dal's irony, "I don't remember that
either of you has asked what I want,
have you?"
Felix laughed with tenderness. Mar-
cella -protested, "Jocelyn!"
Jocelyn turned to them, her face
bent down and her smiling eyes list-
ed.
"L -don't -say no, -Mother. And Fel-
ix, I don't say, Yes"
Their faces locked into tyranny and
anger, both controlled as out of in-
dulgence to a cited.
"But while you are both away," she
confronted their tyranny with proud
and secret eyes, "I -wills ---decide'
Events shaped themselves rapidly
to make her quest of the truth pos-
sible. Cousin, Sera came, an old wo-
man with an ear trumpet, very active
and very lame, who garleed about the
city all day with a passionate enthus•
iastm for •shopping, and went to bed
at night exhausted by her own ner-
rolls activity. To superintend Joc(,-
tyai/s trouseeau, to buy what must be
bought, to stow it away, ell this was
a sort of wistful heaven to the poor
old lady. She did not even begin to
think of understanding Jocelyn.
After Felix had been gone four days
-and Jocelyn rather anxiously recog-
nized that She missed hitn-eand after
Marcella had been buried in her con-
vent for as long a time, after Cousin
Sara had settled in like some squir-
reecreatufe to the routine of acquisi-
tion and repose, there came a night
. . . Mary's night out. wheu Joce-
lyn drew from her old trunk the
pleated skirt and the small dark
jacket and the tam-o'-shanter and ran
her fingers through thee hair.
It was a thick night with fog across
the river and a rnultritudinous voice
of limes and bells the lights all
sneered to golden. fruits: Aladdin's
garden, thought Jocelyn.
This time see found her fa.ther In
the outer room of his lodging, alone.
At her knock a footstep hurried to
tie,door. It opened and Nick stood
before her, He seemed for a flase
diPappointed at what he had found
there on his threehold.
"I didn't expect to see yell again,"
be said. "I thought you'd had enough."
"Enough? Father, I've been living
to get back here. Are we alone?"
"For the present wo are."
"Then may I took into your ether
rooms?"

$500 Reward
For Cattle Thieves
Just. H.elp Us Cateh Thera
We Wont Have No Trial
Quite a few statistics, exist to prove
that thie is 1938 and the American.
West is no Mager wild Yet more
American cattle are being rustled in
1938 than ever before!
The whole business of cattle thiev-
ery 'has been streamlined. Modern
rustlers use vans to speed; stole)i cat-
tle to faraway cities Fences, receive
the &tie:rep-worth up to $100 apiece --
and Wye them butchered, frozen and
placed on sale within 24 hours.
Sheriffs axe neatly helpless. A west-
ern serene may have only six depu-
ties to cover all crime in a county
bigger than Massachusetts. Moreover,
the cattle owners may not miss his
stolen steers until the next roundup.
If an officer does happen to catch a
rustler, be must have abundant proof
and the actual owner of a cow cannot
prove ownerseip if the branded hide
is removed. Many cows are butcher-
ed in the wilds at night, put in refrig-
erator trucks arid delivered direct to
meat stores.
If some honest butcher aik where
the beef originated, the van people
are ready With an answer. They (have
bought or leased a bit of land and
keep several cows on it. Apparently
they are just small operators, trying
to get a start in the trade by cutting
prices under the big packers and
slaughterhouses. The butcher makes
his purchase, conscience clear.
Often the rustlers' preparations are
amazingly teorough, Near Phoenix,
Arizona, tee sheriff stopped a truck
with half a. dozen steers in it. The
officer- pulled his gun --but he needn't
have. The two men on tee truck
were jest honest -looking boys, with
nary a pistol or rifle between them.
"Wlitese cows?" demandied the offi-
cer.
"Them is Mr. Lawson's," the driver
said. "We're taking them to the
Lawson ra.nch over at Kingman in
IVIchave County. Here's the bill of
The paper was exactly in form. It
described the cows; their brands
ehecked. Apparently Toni Lawson
had -bought the cows from Grimes
and Wilson, near Lordsburg, New
Mexico.
The sheriff had heard of Lawson's
ra nc le and everythir seemed legal,
but, to be on the S 1, side he held
the men while he put :!: a phone call
l'Or Tom Lawson at Itingrnan. Law-
son said yessir he had eent for six
tows. The sheriff ,apologized to the
truckers and let them go.
He told his deputies about it later,
and one Who had lived in Mohave
County said, "Tom Lawson's ranch
ain't got no phone." The sberiff look-
ed blank and called Kingman again.
Correct, the Law -son ranee had no
phone. The "Toni Lawson" who had
received the call had lived in an auto-
mobile camp cabin on the outskirts
000,000 kilowatt hours; for the grow-
ing business; before it was finished,
increased stealing had absorbed the
new capacity.
The simplest device for burglariz-
ing current is within the reach of the
humble2out-stomer-a thin curved rod
which emirs the current around the
meter. Experts in tampering with
meters boldly col:brass from house to
house, selling thie and more cutraing
tricke.
In many cases consumers get all
tee current they want by tapping
street- cattiest -without even being on
the company's books An entire new
real estate addition provided current
for its houses, by cleverly tapping
neighbonhood wires. They were steal-
ing current while applications were
on tire waiting list because the com-
panies could not add to their load. A
country club has done the same thing
and refused to make amends.
In many parts of the country such,
thefts have cut off prefits comptetely.
The coefeJanies' laber costs, includ-
ing secial benefits. have gone up 55
per cent during the last year. They
haven't been allowed te increase their
rates for 20 years. And if the plants
are forced to suspend operations the
government declares. them bankrupt
and takes them over.
There is little doubt that the per-
eietent 0.1141010SA y of the gove•rnment
toward tee plants expresses ri. diefln-
ite to confiscate them -in line
with the growing determination to
coneecate all foreignowned property.
It gives added evidenee of the ir-
repressible craze that is sweepin,g
Mexice hell-bent for industrial and
commercial chaos.

A European art man who has been MeGaw

to appraise things remarked that he, Goderieh
had no idea w-hy Hearst wanted. to I
collect so many different objects. "My1
only conception," he isairi, "is that he
had the leteintion to found a museum.
He had been impressed by the photo- ,
graphs, uacrated, of Mr. Hearst that:
are scattered all over the place and
turn up in the most unexpeeted cor-
ners. A good many of the photo-
gra.pths, he said, showed Mr. Hearst
at a fancy dress ball, rigged up as
Napoleon.
Mr. White has another explanation
for Mr. Hearst's accumulative versa-
tility. "Mr, Hearst exceeds- all other
collectors in the catholicity of his
tastes' Mr. White says,

FOURTH I NSTAI,M,nN T
• SYNOPSIS
Jocelyn Herlewel, raised in a
Francb convent, at the age of
eighteen, joins her mother, Mar-
cell; in New York. Worried
about her safety, because she is
unfamiliar with bhe 'mar:tern world
arid ,has developed into a beauti-
ful womare her mother's, first 'wish
Is to get her safety -married. At-
tereleng her first ball, Jocefen
meets Felix Kent, rich, handsome
and nineteen 7ea,rs older than
herself. Encouraged by her
mother, she and Felix quickly be-
come engaged. Aleme , in her
apartmentone night, a cripple,
Nick Sandal, enters by the fire-
eseape, eonfides in her that he
is her father and That her real
name is Lynda •Sandian Uncer-
tain about whether she wants to
get married so quickly, Jeceleu
becomes irritable with Felix and
one night decides to go to talk
•things over with her mysterious
father. As Lynda Sandal she
goes to his house, climbs three
flights of stairs and enters, a
room where he is sitting itb
several men iu t'he micht of Ia
card game to whom he introduces
her as his daughter.
"I want to see you, Father. I got
Out tee way you Showed me. Mother
doesn't know I'm here."
"Nothing wrong then?"
'I felt, that I muat see you. There's
something in me that belongs' to you.
And. I axa really very lenely."
"Lonely? Witte a fiance and a
mother and a crowd of friends?"
"Ilene is still a stranger. Mother
doesn't want to love me; she has told
me so. I have no friends."
Nick put an arm roughly about her.
"All eiget, Lynda. I'll be your
friend_ I (lane mind loving you. Only
it's a rash move on your part, you
know. I'm not the most creditable
parent in the world.
"But look here, old girl. . You're
been caTefully raised in a religious
atmosphere and ell that. Doesn't your
little old conscience say anything
about deceiving a kind mother and
that good, fellow with the neat face
whose photograph you snowed me?"
"My conscience? But, Father,
haven't I a sort of duty to you?
Don't you need me as much as thee
o?"
"No, 1 don't. And you haven't.
Don't fool yourself. You cane bolster
up your conscience with that trick,
my girl."
' Jocelyn began to look passitinate
and her yellow eyes glowed. "All
right. I don't care. Mother won't tell
me any -thing. She hes her secrets and
she keeps them. I shall eave one of
my own. Feltz is as locked up as his
own great big shining safe. They both
keep lifereal life, away from me as
though it were some sort of reptile.
I want to know people, all kinds, of
people, different sorts of people. I
want to know ,how good it is to be
bad, and how bad It may be to be
good. 1 want adventure, risks, dan-
gers; 1 want-"
"You want too much. You're only
a girl and- what's worse, you're a
young lady! Laugh that off if you
an, Miss Jocelyn Harlowe."
"Hush! Not here. Here I'm Lynda
Sandal."
At that Nick threw back his head
nd laughed.
"You win.. Anti I surrender. Lynda
Sandal, I hereby take you as my child
for better or for worse and premise
to show you all the reality and the
deenture 1 can decently supply. In
order to seal our coinpact and to
how my sincerity," he stood up, lift -
01 harel in a great gesture and
raised his voice, "Lynda, I want you
to meet some of my friend's."
At the changed, timbre of his voice,
he four card players turned.
"Boys, I want to present to you my
laughter, Miss Lynda Sandal. Mr.
•ames Drury, Mr. Saul Morrison and
r. Gustave Lowe. Jock Ayleward,
Lynda watching him.
"He's an Old elielnY of mine, 1086
Sandal. He louree like a reae knave
1.1010W."
"Well," draWled"Sandal from be-
hind themwith sudden suave sever-
ity, enext time you throw knives en
my premises I'll kice you out of
there."
Jock turned to melee at him with
sweetness
"Pm, szeiry, Old, Nick, When I
think of that Felix face of his it
brings the devil up into ,my brain, I
go blend."
Jocelyn found herself stammering.
"A F ---Felix 'face? You nieane-tbe
Knave of Diamonds? Why do you
call him that? He reminds you of
some one named Felix whom You
hate?" •
"Well, yes, Mite Sandel. A regular
knave-- -e'
"But, plea& tell me. Felix who?"
"Hold ..• your fool tongue, Tuck,"
ectied Nick fiercely. "And get out of
here. Can't I have iny rooms to my -
gen sometimes vvithout a cub of
• cardebasper loafing about thein!"
Ayleward, scared and blinking, like
a boy that has been cuffed ruthless-
ly unieteltigible, excuse and got him-
self and withouteWerning, muttered
seems out hastily.
Jocelyn turned to her father as the
deer Closed.
"Why did you stop him? Was it -
has it ea -teeing to do with my 'Felix?"
"No, you little idiot! Didn't you
ever her of Felix the Cat? 1 thought
nee You don't know anything, do
ytm? He's a cartoon pussy of vary-
ing adventures. You leave our lingo
alone, girl, uncle give you a few les-
sons. I stopped him because once he
gets on that Felix Cat subject there's
no getting rid of him. Come and slit
down here"
Before she left her father, that
strange adventurous night, Jocelyn
questioned him:
"What is the hunting ground?"
"A gambling place."
"Do you tate my mother?"
' "I've outgrown hatreds,"
"Do you want me to marry Felix
Kent?"
A shrug. "Mr. Dooley eaid, 'Take
tire first one- that •asks you, They're
all alike.' Kent has money so he'll
probable run straight."
"Do you suppose he'll make me
happy?"
"We, My dear. No men- has ever
made a woman happy. She must man-
ufacture happiness for herself, or ac-
euire none." •
"I think that you and my mother
are elik,e."
"Gad forbid!" he murmured.
"You do hate her! I mean, alike
in ties one respect. Neither of yeti
has fcuad thappiness in being loved."
After a long and troubled silence
she asked •him., "When may I come
again to see you?"
"Whenever you please, my dear, or
can make it convenient. I am nearly
always at home. Most of the time on
this old sofa. Every day I find it •hard-
er lo get about."
eOh Father, cant something be
dene?"
He streak bis head.
"Jock has done what he could for
me. He takes care of me now, you
must know. It's fair enougth. There
was a time weep. 1 took care of him."
"He loves you, Father. I can see
that when he smiles."
"He's not a bad scout but don't 'gee
romantic about him, Lynda. He's not
the man your Felix is, for instance.
He les a poor outlook in life and a
character which might be called un-
sta ble."
"He's loyal to you."
" U le hum ."
"There's a sort of stability in

because, Perham he's not been cod -

of the few people that care for him."
"Who else beside you, Father?"
tthe bright-eyed cripple laughed in
a low and taunting key. "About a

It silenced Lynda on •that theme.

"How eau they be so blind? How

They were, however, more sensitive
to her ' perhaps than, she imagined.
One evening Felix questioned her
Heretofore ,Joeelyni b.ad been, the
questioner.
"W,hy," he asked her, Vo you look
so conventional tonight?"
Jocelyn, was -wearing white and her
heir was sleek as an otter's skin
about her &moth face.
"You used: to say I didn't look as
ought to; conventional, teat. is."
"To night you do."
He went over to her, s01 on the
arm of her chair and bent above her,
eapturnag her in one verong arm.
• "Looe, child, I have to be away
from you tor a fortnight presently."
Her heart went plunging, whether for
joy or sorrew sth.e could' not for the
life of her pave told. "When I come
back done you think we could short-
en this engagement of ours a little?
I'm weeny of convent airs. "I want
a wife!"
Jocelyn's( eyes leaped to her mother
for aid, for rescue.
Mareella spoke in measure as
though she vtere•rectiting,
"I can see no reason for keeping
you waiting much longer, Felix. I
did say a four months' engagement
but it seems to me that you have
tested each other's affections now suf-
ficiently, laave bad time to draw close
to each other. Of course we must
wait until the end of the Lenten. sea -
sou. It might be possible to arninge
foe a wedding then. Wthile you are
away in Arieona I shall go to the
sisters. I veil ask Cousin Sara Mul-
let' to come d,nd stay her with Joce-
lyn. I think the child will be glad
to hare this little interval of loneli-
nese. She will be able to prepare
herself for the great -for the happy
change."
The girl looked from one to the
other.
"You mean you'll both go away?
You'll leave me alone here for all
those days before . . . before-?"
Felix bent to her lips. Before his
own fell upon them he said in a low
key, "Much safer for you, my dar-
ling, to be rid of me just now." And
the kiss see dreaded, fell upon her
with the anguish of a blow.
Swiftly the thought came to her, tI
shall be free. I shall be almost free."
. "I, thinethink," she said and there
was an echo in her voice of Nick San-
dal's irony, "I don't remember that
either of you has asked what I want,
have you?"
Felix laughed with tenderness. Mar-
cella -protested, "Jocelyn!"
Jocelyn turned to them, her face
bent down and her smiling eyes list-
ed.
"L -don't -say no, -Mother. And Fel-
ix, I don't say, Yes"
Their faces locked into tyranny and
anger, both controlled as out of in-
dulgence to a cited.
"But while you are both away," she
confronted their tyranny with proud
and secret eyes, "I -wills ---decide'
Events shaped themselves rapidly
to make her quest of the truth pos-
sible. Cousin, Sera came, an old wo-
man with an ear trumpet, very active
and very lame, who garleed about the
city all day with a passionate enthus•
iastm for •shopping, and went to bed
at night exhausted by her own ner-
rolls activity. To superintend Joc(,-
tyai/s trouseeau, to buy what must be
bought, to stow it away, ell this was
a sort of wistful heaven to the poor
old lady. She did not even begin to
think of understanding Jocelyn.
After Felix had been gone four days
-and Jocelyn rather anxiously recog-
nized that She missed hitn-eand after
Marcella had been buried in her con-
vent for as long a time, after Cousin
Sara had settled in like some squir-
reecreatufe to the routine of acquisi-
tion and repose, there came a night
. . . Mary's night out. wheu Joce-
lyn drew from her old trunk the
pleated skirt and the small dark
jacket and the tam-o'-shanter and ran
her fingers through thee hair.
It was a thick night with fog across
the river and a rnultritudinous voice
of limes and bells the lights all
sneered to golden. fruits: Aladdin's
garden, thought Jocelyn.
This time see found her fa.ther In
the outer room of his lodging, alone.
At her knock a footstep hurried to

before her, He seemed for a flase
diPappointed at what he had found
there on his threehold.
"I didn't expect to see yell again,"
be said. "I thought you'd had enough."
"Enough? Father, I've been living
to get back here. Are we alone?"
"For the present wo are."

$500 Reward
For Cattle Thieves
Just. H.elp Us Cateh Thera
We Wont Have No Trial
Quite a few statistics, exist to prove
that thie is 1938 and the American.
West is no Mager wild Yet more
American cattle are being rustled in
1938 than ever before!
The whole business of cattle thiev-
ery 'has been streamlined. Modern
rustlers use vans to speed; stole)i cat-
tle to faraway cities Fences, receive
the &tie:rep-worth up to $100 apiece --
and Wye them butchered, frozen and
placed on sale within 24 hours.
Sheriffs axe neatly helpless. A west-
ern serene may have only six depu-
ties to cover all crime in a county
bigger than Massachusetts. Moreover,
the cattle owners may not miss his
stolen steers until the next roundup.
If an officer does happen to catch a
rustler, be must have abundant proof
and the actual owner of a cow cannot
prove ownerseip if the branded hide
is removed. Many cows are butcher-
ed in the wilds at night, put in refrig-
erator trucks arid delivered direct to
meat stores.
If some honest butcher aik where
the beef originated, the van people
are ready With an answer. They (have
bought or leased a bit of land and
keep several cows on it. Apparently
they are just small operators, trying
to get a start in the trade by cutting
prices under the big packers and
slaughterhouses. The butcher makes
his purchase, conscience clear.
Often the rustlers' preparations are
amazingly teorough, Near Phoenix,
Arizona, tee sheriff stopped a truck
with half a. dozen steers in it. The
officer- pulled his gun --but he needn't
have. The two men on tee truck
were jest honest -looking boys, with
nary a pistol or rifle between them.
"Wlitese cows?" demandied the offi-
cer.
"Them is Mr. Lawson's," the driver
said. "We're taking them to the
Lawson ra.nch over at Kingman in
IVIchave County. Here's the bill of
The paper was exactly in form. It
described the cows; their brands
ehecked. Apparently Toni Lawson
had -bought the cows from Grimes
and Wilson, near Lordsburg, New
Mexico.
The sheriff had heard of Lawson's
ra nc le and everythir seemed legal,
but, to be on the S 1, side he held
the men while he put :!: a phone call
l'Or Tom Lawson at Itingrnan. Law-
son said yessir he had eent for six
tows. The sheriff ,apologized to the
truckers and let them go.
He told his deputies about it later,
and one Who had lived in Mohave
County said, "Tom Lawson's ranch
ain't got no phone." The sberiff look-
ed blank and called Kingman again.
Correct, the Law -son ranee had no
phone. The "Toni Lawson" who had
received the call had lived in an auto-
mobile camp cabin on the outskirts
000,000 kilowatt hours; for the grow-
ing business; before it was finished,
increased stealing had absorbed the
new capacity.
The simplest device for burglariz-
ing current is within the reach of the
humble2out-stomer-a thin curved rod
which emirs the current around the
meter. Experts in tampering with
meters boldly col:brass from house to
house, selling thie and more cutraing
tricke.
In many cases consumers get all
tee current they want by tapping
street- cattiest -without even being on
the company's books An entire new
real estate addition provided current
for its houses, by cleverly tapping
neighbonhood wires. They were steal-
ing current while applications were
on tire waiting list because the com-
panies could not add to their load. A
country club has done the same thing
and refused to make amends.
In many parts of the country such,
thefts have cut off prefits comptetely.
The coefeJanies' laber costs, includ-
ing secial benefits. have gone up 55
per cent during the last year. They
haven't been allowed te increase their
rates for 20 years. And if the plants
are forced to suspend operations the
government declares. them bankrupt
and takes them over.
There is little doubt that the per-
eietent 0.1141010SA y of the gove•rnment
toward tee plants expresses ri. diefln-
ite to confiscate them -in line
with the growing determination to
coneecate all foreignowned property.
It gives added evidenee of the ir-
repressible craze that is sweepin,g
Mexice hell-bent for industrial and
commercial chaos.

A European art man who has been MeGaw
to the 13rona warehouse several times Menset"
to appraise things remarked that he, Goderieh
had no idea w-hy Hearst wanted. to I
collect so many different objects. "My1
only conception," he isairi, "is that he
had the leteintion to found a museum.
He had been impressed by the photo- ,
graphs, uacrated, of Mr. Hearst that:
are scattered all over the place and
turn up in the most unexpeeted cor-
ners. A good many of the photo-
gra.pths, he said, showed Mr. Hearst
at a fancy dress ball, rigged up as
Napoleon.
Mr. White has another explanation
for Mr. Hearst's accumulative versa-
tility. "Mr, Hearst exceeds- all other
collectors in the catholicity of his
tastes' Mr. White says,
of the town.
To oombat this new -style rustling,
the Cattlemsn are reverting to their
traditional direct' action. They are,
for inetance, erecting a few signs like
the one posted on the tree in New

are out after cattle rustlers' and will
pay for same dead or on th.e hoot"
T,here is no record -nor will there
be -of the results. But on the sher-
iff's books lir the southwestern cow.
states are several unexplaanad kill-

the desert, with bullet holes in them.
Other men have just disappeared,.
Those old rusticuss ranchers are
standing guard in 48-ihour shifts in
some elections, each man with a bag
of grub, canteen, pistol and rifle.
They perch on hillocks where they
can command long stretches Of high-
way. Sometimes they "plant" a.
bunch of steers as temptation for
thieves.
If' you hear of more "mystery 'mur-
ders" out west this year and next,
and there is less howling from the

amounted bo 7,696,000 bushels and is
2,287,000 bushels greater than last
year, Most of this crop is grawn in
Essex and Kent Countie.e, and cor-
respondlehts report that husking has
proceeded much more rapidly the.41 -us-
ual this Fall, due to revere:We wea-
ther oon4dItions. Corn is well matur-

WINGING out of autumn, why net

You dive into the fun of this winter's

Take your recent prints, figure
out your batting average, determine
your most frequent mistakes -and
you will be better able to avoid
those errors in the future.
How marry times were you "struck
out" by underexposure? Bring out
those underexposed films, and study
them. Are they mostly early -morn-
ing or late -afternoon shots? ef so,
you should watch the sun more
carefully. When it is near the hori-
zon, andtbegins to take on a yellow
tinge, its light is much weaker -and
you should compensate by using
a wider lens opening, or a slowet
shutter speed.
Did you underexpose on cloilde
days? Light is weaker then. The lat-
itude of modern films will take care
of reasonable error's in exposure,
but en a drill day it's always safe
to open up the lens to the next larger
mark -f.6.3 'instead of 1.8, for ex-
ample.

How about blurred pictures, from
subject movement or camera un-
eteadiness? Here's an easy cure.
Just use a' eigher shutter speed.
If your customary exposure is 1/25
second at fel, try using 1/50 sec
-
end at 1.8 or even 1/100 second at
1.6.3. And another point; when you
press the shutter release, don't jerk.
Hold the camera firmly, push the
release easily. Pretend you're firing
a rifle at a distant target, and the
shutter release lever Is the trigger.
