SYNOPSIS
Jocelyn, Harlowe, raised in a
French convent, at the age .of
eighteen, jai=her mother, Mar-
, cella, in ' New 'York. Worried'
about bier safety, because she is
unfamiliar with the modern world
and has developed into a beauti-
ful woman, her mother's first wish
is to get her safely married. At-
te,' Iki4ng her first ball, Jocelyn
Meets Felix Kent, rich, handsome
and nineteen years older than
herself. Encouraged, by her
mother, she and Felix quickly be-
come engaged+. Alone in her
apartment"! one night, a cripple,
Nick Sandal, eaters by the firs -
escape, confides in. her that he
father is her and that her real
t name is Lynda Sandal. linem-
en about whether she wants to
get married so quickly, Jocelyn
gees to talk things -lover with her
mysterious father. As Lynda San-
dal she goes to this house, climbs
three flights of stairs and enters
a ream where he is sitting with
several men in the midst of a
card game. Later, when both
Felix and her mother are away,
Jocelyn returns to haven second '
visit with her father.
"There's only one beside this, two

courier. I've got some figures to
read over, and you'll find me at lei-
sure for daughterly confidences when
you return. Lord, Lynda!! If you
knew how odd it feels to be the father
of a tall lovely thing like you."
Lynda paused at the closed inner
door and smiled. '
"Do.,you really -think I'm lovely?"
"I seem to. I'd like to see you in
your ball gown with' your smooth hair
nd your pearls. .Were they real
pearls, Lynda?"
""No, I think they Were just cheap
pearls teat went with the costume.Mother bought it for me."
The bedroom, which contained' one
full-sized- bed and one narrow cot
against the wall, was the most untidy
and unattractive apartment Lynda had
ever been. allowed to'enter. Its one
dirty window looked out on a black-
ness of sordid yards and passage-
ways. On Nick's dressing table there
were no 'rhotograprh's, no knick-knacks
-there were no pictures on his walls.
The (WC shallow closet held two
th"E'edbare suits and some battered
looking shoes. In his drawers the un-
derwear shocked Lynda. Tattered.
She would. bring her sewing kit and
mend his clothes! On top of a tall
(hest of drawers, however, a set of
clean cheap toilet articles had been
neatly arranged and there was a great
picture of a dog, one'of those magni-
ficent canine heads which, loyal,
brave, unselfconscious, have a nobil-
ity greater than humanity's. A set-
ter, listening, looking, the eyes' deep
with devotion, with a sort of ecstasy-.

"Its not his 'home, then?"
"L'Ice the child! Home?" He
clocked his tongue a dozen times, his
eyes laughing at her, "No. This is
nat',his home. Look like a home to
you? Jock is what you might call a
bird of passage."
"A salesman'?" suggested Lynda.
Nick chuckled. "Well, yes. You
might call it that. He's a sort of
hunter too. Tonight he's after big
game -against my express advice.
Dangerous hunting. If I'm touchy to-
night, Lynda that's the reason."
'"When will you 'be married?"
"That is one of the things I must
talk to you about. Father. They --

Nick whistled. "So soon! Well,

;How drid you know batt step

I don't know. It sounds like him
Nick, shall I 'like being married?"
"No. Of couese not, you little
simpleton,"
The door was opened with a sort
of quiet violence and Ayleward,
faultlessly attired in evening dress
came in; shut the door and
tierce arm about Sandal's shoulders.
"There, you old belly-acher, what
do you say? 'Next time ivtll you trust
a bora cards -handler?"
As he spoke he was pulling from
his trousers pockets great handfuls
of ,paper money which he shook be-
fore Nick's . eyes and then tossed up
in the air so that they fell about the
room like dead leaves. ' "
"Jock, you fool. Here's Lynde!"
Ayleward turned in upon Nick's
visitor in startled grim fixation. He
bowed and began to collect his
-earnings; for 'surely they must be,
thought Lynda, some sort of earn-
ings from his, salesmanship! When
he had them bundled together -he
added to them what wars' left in his
clothing and put the whole great
mass into"a drawer which he locked.
Then be turned to go.
"You stop here tonight, Jock,"
Nick commanded but with sin under-
tone of pleading. "Lynda can put
up with you. Good for you to talk to
a real gentlewoman once in a blue
moon."
Obediently but with a sullen air.
he sat down at a distance from the
two, Sandals` near th'e central table
and taking up the pack of cards that -
lay there 'began to ' shuffle absent-
mindedly 'but with a skill whicn
widened Lynda's+ gaze.
"Oh, I wish I could do that!"
"Come over here- and I'll teach
you," he said with impersonal
-brusquerie, like a big schoolboy to a
small one.
Jock pulled up his . coat sleeves
and turned his long and limber
hands about artist's hands, thought
Lynda, but stronger, maybe. He
went through a dazzling series of
wizardry in which the cards seemed
to shift and dance and climb about
the room at his will.'
"Take 'her home, will you, Jock,"
said Nick suddenly. "I'm done and
she 'ought to be getting back to
where she seems to belong,"
,Lynda's laughter went away. Her
face turned pale and blank.
"Oh, Fath -oh, Nick -
"Better do what he tells you, Mies
Sandal. He's a bad man to disobey,
I'll tell you! Come on. I'll tumble
you into a taxi at the corner. So
long, Nick. I know you want to
hear the dope. Don't make off with
the swag while I'm out, will you?
I'll cut right back."
But it was nearly morning when
he came back to furious prowling
Nick.
Ayleward came in at the door
then, humming a dance air with a
strange dazed wistful look on his
young face.
Halfway down that first flight,
Jock on her heels' ready to put h'er`b
into a taxi, Lynda Sandal had
abruptly stopped. So abruptly that
the young man following was forced
to leap up a step.
'What's the matter? Forget some-
thing?" asked Ayleward. His voice
was quite casual.'
She turned with the difficulty of a
nightmare -will and raised leo eyes to
him. .
"I knew," said Jock. "You think
he turned you out. Poor kid! You
mus -i nst let Nick hurt you, Miss
Sandal. The times i've been shown
the door! He's a great man, is Nick,
but he can be rough. Nick can do
what he likes with me. I'm ihts. I'd'
be dead now if it hadn't been for
Nick."
She ran before him down the
stairs.' Not until they were on the
pavement did he come up to her.
Then she stopped again and. gripped'
his arm. "I must talk to you. You
must tell are about Nick."
"All right. I'll take yeti siome-
wherb."
Their taxi moved toward some
address he gave the driver,
"Do you like to dance?" asked
Ayleward.
"I must talk to you," said Lynda.
Cs over the sooner to weep!"
"Oh., Farther. I don't want to weep!"
She looked at him so humbly and
to wistfully that he put a hand across
ter eyes.
"Tell me then just this: Shall I
Ike being married, Father?"
"I wish you'd call me Nick."
"Oh, wouldh't that us horribly'
iisrespectful?"
"The fast thing' I crave, 0 daugh-
ter of mine old age, is respect."
"Then -=Nick . • . Oh, please do

"Father, Nick, pieate. Before Jock

"Yes. But I'm not dressed for a
restaurant and my moth-" She was
going ' to say, "has' never let me go"
but checked herself with an hysteric„
cal impulse toward laughter. What
did that mother on her knee§ before
an altar know of Lynda Sandal, the
adventuress."
"You're dressed for the place
I'm .taking you to, only I will say
you're a bit stagey."
"I I thought it was all right."
"So it is. Pretty cute get-up. You
are on the stage anyway, aren't
you?"
"Why, 1p-nto, Mr. •Ayleward."
"You Lr,,i ' Iike an actress somehow.
Your re 'or somethd+ng. I like it aw-
fully."
She stiffened. "I'm cuing with
you," she said with her princess air,
"because I want tri learn something
about my father. You understand
that, don't you, 'Mr. Ayleward? It
is not desire for your companion -
thin"
-"Oh, I see. I hadn't really analyz-
ed the situation. All 'right. Here we
are, 'Miss Sandal."
He helped bier out and gave a
number or a name, some' 'open
sesame at agrilled door under a
flight of marble Steps. Lynda found
herself seated on a 'bench against. a
wall, Jock opposite her across a
bare small narrow table. It held one
shaded 'Iltghtt.', Jock -Ordered supper

The floor was :filled with 'dancers,
Others drank and ate.
Lynda drank, the black coffee Jock
had ordered for her. Jock was
watching the danders.
"I ought not. to Leh you do this for
me," said Lynda suddenly. "I ought
not to let you, I mean, give me a
good time. That wasn't . what; I
meant to do. You see of course I
don't know you well and I may
change nay Mind but it seems only
fair to tell you that -,that,.-" her
cheeks were hot with the effort of
such a statement, "that I don't
really like you at all yet, Mr. Ayle-
ward" -•
-
"That's 0. K. with me," he grin-
ned, glancing at her and away.
1I did not suppose it would mat-
ter to you 'but I felt that I ought to
be honest with you. And we shall
probably be running into each other
Bow and then. Women usually like
you, I understand."
"You understand? Who told you
that tale?"
"Nick did. Want, to dance?"
"But I came here to ask you-"
"Want to dance?"
She rose. He' took her into his
arms so tighty that she could
hardly breathe.
"Don't! I can't dance . . , that
way -please."
"Oh, I forgot. Let me see. Sure.
This is the way, isn't it?" And he
moved, with her out on the floor,
dancing with the ease, the pride and
the smoothness of a gentleman. And
he danced beautifully.
"Where did you pick it up?" he
asked her,
"A Frenchwoman came to the con-
vent to teach me. The nuns' did not
really approve but my mo- -but they
had orders."
"You mean you were educated in a
French convent?"
"Yes." She was annoyed, It was no
part 'of her intention to tell anything
of her own life as Jocelyn Harlowe
to this young man.
"Aren't there some very queer sort
of people here tonight?" as'ked Lynda.
"Are there? I hadn't noticed it."
"Look now, that big man with a
white scar; dancing with the woman
in- -int-shoulder straps."
"In and out of 'ern, eh? Well, yes,
you might perhaps call him queer.
He's 'Coni Padrona. Just out."
"Of the 'hospital?"
"From up the river. He got off
with two years."
"Oh, I can't stay here, Mr. Ayle-
ward. I can't' stay in a room with-
with criminals!"
"Hullo!" .said Jock. "Go easy, If
Mr. Padrona heard you he might re-
sent it."
He gave her a queer long glance
and took her back to the table silent-
ly. He called for his, check. Lynda
N. -as distressed.
"I haven't asked you . . . you've
told me nothing about Nick."
"Maybe you'd better leave it to
him. He would like to tell you him-
self perhaps. It seems a queer ques-
tion but I gather you are a queer fam-
ily --how long have you known your
father?"
"Only since one night a few weeks
ago."
"You live here in New York alone?"
"No. With my mother."
Jock's eyes open -ed. "You mean
Nick's got a wife here in New York?"
"They have been divorced for very
long. I do not know their history."
"Nor. do I, Miss Sandal, 'believe me.
I 'did not even know his wife was liv-
ing nor, until I met you there that
night, that he' Irad arty child."
"You won't dance just once more?"
Lynda was tempted'., "If you will
promise not to let me touch that
man."
"Not. touch the jiailbird, eli?"

Canada, like the United States, saw
dust cloude' roil. In 1935, the sun
had seared the southern areas of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
for six dry s nu era Wheat crops
had withered, soil blew, farmers were
desperate with one crop failure after
another. In February' of that year,
Ottawa was convinced that it must
give the drought arrears something
more substantial than relief. It pass-

Canada had no millions of dollars
for "great irrigation dams -no money
for Grand Coulees, Bouldeer 'Danis -
not Canada with a' population of -11,-
000,000. But Canada had an idea. Itdf
believed that "invidualazed" treat-
ment of the drought problem, with
attention to each separate farm might
be achieved at a..neasona,ble price. It
knew that a hundred small irrigation
dams, or a thousand.water holes
might be built at far less• cost than
one vast Federal structure. That is,
if the fanner helped; -
There was some question• whether
prairie farmers would sign up, so
compulsory features were added to
the -Act. But the drafters needn't
have worried. A visit to the Prairie
Farm Rehabilitation central offices et
Regina, Saskatchewan, is convincing
enough to anyone that the farmers
are doing. a rushing job of self -assist-
ance. If you can crowd your job in

saving 'and irrigation, you're. fortun-
ate.
What about these "individualized"
projects? The water conservation
schemes are probably the proudest
achievement. When the spring tor-
rents had dried up into the dusty
gravel beds of summer, farmers had
been accustomed to carry water for
five, ten miles, for their cattle and
gardens. But the Dominion's experi-
mental farms had proved' that, if the
sipping runoffs could be damned up,
the water would last all summer. So
the Prairie Rehabilitation office be-
came missionary. "Dig dugouts," the
officials told the farmers, "or dam
culverts; anything to create ponds+."
They set assistance prices; the
Government would pay a farmer up
to $75 to 'help him dig his deep pool
or "dugout." It would give up to
$150 for' s+tockw•atering dams. This
money covered the out-of-pocket ex-
penses. The farmer, alone or with
neighbors, did the rest. And so it
came about that -throughout the
drought areas. pools• of water were
sown, pools filled ft' -m the melting
snow's, pools avail.tble all summer for
watering cattle, for ;a -ren irrigation.
But these small " d:igouts" didn't
help the wheat field's. :,o still larger
projects, for irrigation of vast wheat
acreages, were planned by the PFRA.
And the helping Federal hand brought
a new lease of life --but 'case histor-
ies tell the story better. At Regina
they talk with special pride about the
farmer from East Central Alberta, a
drought area center.
Late in. 1937 he appeared. .at the
Regina office, told Iris drab story of
crop failure after crop failure. But,
,he "allowed" his land was so situated
that the spring runoff water, proper-
ly impounded.' might irrigate a vast
tract. The PFRA gave him $350, the
maximum for individual irrigation as-
sistance. He hurried home, grabbed
pick and shovel, and went to work.
The feel of scow was in the air, and
frosts were cloddin•g up the ground.
But he had a goal in sight, and he

this, but the upper cut should be .lust

should then be tied up in' bundles of
twenty-five or more, care being taken
to have the butts of the cuttinger on
the same level to promote uniform

The bundles of cuttings are , now

and on once -barren fields he grew ov-

Ottawa's appropriations foa prairie
rehabilitation. have grown as' th,e pro-
gram's usefulness hos. become more
apparent. The year 1937 saw $2,000,-
000 voted; this- year some $4,000,000
will have been spent on this program
which covers 88,000,000 acres of land.
A few big irrigation projects- are un-
der way. The 70,000 acre-feet Cypress
Lake Storage Project in Saskatche-
wan will cost $300,000: when com-
pleted, Alberta, benefitted by large,
cool rivers from Rocky Mountain
snows, has nearly 425,000 acres now
irrigated. Manitoba ne'ed's irrigation
less. In Saskatchewan, where there
'is the least water, the stock -watering
pools and the "dugouits?' have been
the most successful. Yet some 70,-
000 acres there are irrigated or "un-
der the ditch," and, there are" probab-
ly a quarter miliion irrigable acres.
Of course not all land is. so situat-
ed as to be watered by gravity, and
pumps are c'os'tly. But a farmer near
North Battleford, Saskatchewan, has
made a distinct success irrigating his
lands at reasonable cost, by using re-
duced voltage from the power lines of
the province -owned Sra,Skatchewan
Power Commiissdon. A PFRA engin-
eer supervised the job, and 60,000
gallon's of water an hour can: now be
pumped into the 160 parched acres.
by means of a centrifugal pump and
a 'network of ' ditehes. This year,
barley and eatti flourished on the
farm, and enough feed was grown to
supply 150 cattle.
Water conservation is only a third
of dee sit.ory-. Soil conservation, eq-
ually -important, has followed meas-
ures akin to those employed in the
United States. Dominion experimen-
tal farms, located at strategic spots,
intake laboratory tests on their own
acres to determine the worth, in var-
ious communities, of strip farming
and lister plowing. and the value of
grasses for tying down soils which
should never 'have felt the plow.
Occasionally the Prairie Farm Re-
settlement Office discovers that -it
cannot, carry out its preferred plan of
"rehabilitating the farmer where he
is." By its' soil surveys it discovers
that this or that hopeful agriculturist
in the early boom days bought soil
so dry 'and gray that it will always
be worthless except as pasture land.
The plow, it. finds, should never have
broken the plains. So -memories of

There are other sections to the
progrem. The experimental farms ad-
vise on the pleating of trees to shield
prairie hornesteads. They encourage
diversified farming, showing by ex-

Farmers must not abandon their
"dugouts" and, their Irrigation dams,
just because the rainrS1 fall. They must
not plow up the new p8titurage, nor
forget the diversified agriculture. For
the years' of scanty rainfall can come
again, when the a.gricnituris+ts will
have to pit their abilities- again+st the
uncertain rainclouds. With co-opera-
tion, the PFRA hopes to give the
farmers a fighting chance when those
years come.
