Zurich Herald, 1945-04-26, Page 2The Jade God By MARY IML.AY TAYLOR CHAPTER XIX Burleson smiled bleakly; he was like a man who had escaped some- thing — put something away; he was detached, hard, unafraid. Fos- dick stared at him. "He's mad!" he thought, "You can call it conscience," Burleson said, answering Mark, "or you can call it loss of nerve. I always planned to do something about it; a deathbed confession, I suppose; something dramatic! Off and on I've asked about you in pri- 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 bout that!" He shifted his posi- ' on sligiiiiy, trowfiing, thinking of 'am'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 God, why didn't you speak then — or not at all?" Fosdick cried. * * * Burleson, handing him a paper,, looked at hint 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- ing!" Insane temper, temporary aberration — no end of money for alienists;. Fosdick saw a hundred lawyer ways of fighting it for -_-rte 'e *r; 5 i'n 6Esz3-f --• —stared at Burleson bleakly — "man, it's the disgrace—0'11 ruin you all! The country'lI ring with it; you're known everywhere." Burleson's grey face twisted; he turned and glanced at Mark. "This young ratan here . would say it was fair and that I had my share," he remarked dryly, "not that I've escaped — I've had a liv- ing hell of it for years." * * * Mark said nothing. He turned suddenly and walked to the win- dow, staring out with unseeing eyes. He thought of those fifteen bitter years, of the convict's lot, of 'his lost youth, and this man safe and sleek in high place. Then he heard Fosdick's voice — the rasp in it weakened into a husky growl. "Two years? Good heavens; you might as well have waited. Then it would be only a nine days' won- der; no one to be punished. Now — they'll send you to prison!" There was a silence, then Burle- son's voice. "My wife's dead; the boys, too; that's all there is to it. Of course the others—" "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; I11 take it when it comes. Now—" He turned, too, and glanced at the young man at the window — "you can both leave; I've done my share." * * * Fosdick rose; he was white and his eyes stared, but he took the paper. "It'lt .mean a trial," he said harshly; "I'll have to drag you in- to court." Burleson, who had sunk lower in his chair, nodded. "Make it as clear as you can — if I'tn to go to jail—" ire laughed discordantly, turning to Mark. "Young man, you're avenged; it's harder for me to go to jail for two years now •— and to die there -- than it was for you. You've got your life before you I'm done!" HE'LL LOVE YOU Ow ordering Maxwell House Coffee. It's blended from rare Latiu•American cof- fees, each with its special quality of flavor, body or fragrance. ISSUB 17-1945 "He doesn't count that," said Fosdick dryly; "it's revenge that's sweet, Burleson," He was tucking the confession into his breast pocket, but the mo- tionless figure in the window rasped on him. 'You'll be needed, too, Grant," he said sharply; "I'll have to ask your pardon for my treatment of you; they'll make everything right in court now — and you can have it put in the papers." Suddenly Burleson groaned. The hideous publicity of ft made him wince. He seemed to hear already the strider! calls of the newsboys — " Extry!" * * * Mark turned. There was s. light in his face; he held his head high. "Wait," be said to Fosdick; "one mon—tent] Beep that paper.'ve had fifteen years — T can afford to wait two more." Fosdick gazed at him and Burle- soB lifted his head slowly. nYou mean—r' gasped Fosdick. "I mean just that!" I'll wait. I can't strike such a blow at them all nor at—" Mark stopped. He did not want to add "a dying man." Burleson rose unsteadily, facing him. "You — you know I let, you suffer? And — you do this?" Mark nodded. "I'll wait." Burleson sank into his chair, speechless; speechless he hid his face in his hands. Fosdick stood staring. reluctant to be convinced. "Here's a won- der!" he exclaimed at last. Pant, when she was told, saw it all more clearly. "Of course I understand! 1 knew you'd he like that," she said proud- ly; "you're great enough to spare a.n o��}�:ygrtaiici aiicl-,I kitoi�'i't"s' for nie. You can't stop the now, Mark Grant, for I want some of the glory; We'll face those ex -con- vict years together — yes, we will!" (THE END) TA LE TALKS Dress Up Foqds With Tomato Saalrce Canned tomatoes, home or com- mercial varieties, either .thole or as juice, can improve many steals. For cooking purposes too they are indispensable and can be used hot or cold, "as is", or combined with other foods. Of all the ways in which they are used tomato sauce is one of the best. According to the hone economists of the Consumer Sec- tion, Department of Agriculture, if • a homemaker has a good tomato sauce she can disguise leftovers, dress up inexpensive foods, and gain for herself a reputation as a most superior, cook.
