That night, as they sat over

—what is she like? Couldn't you
buy her off?” She glanced as Mr.
Van Buskirk.”
“I talked with my legal advisers
about that this afternoon,” he re-
plied. "The trouble is that George
has so much money ot his own. If
we make her an offer and she
chooses to gamble on what she can
get from George, we.will only have
succeeded in alienating him from
us.”
“Can't you think of something,
Audrey?” asked Lydia Van Bus-
kirk.
Audrey smiled. “Yes,” she said.
“I think I can put a few bumps in
the course of true love."

CHAPTER XXI
Mary felt like a small animal
caught in a trap The entire rea-
sonableness of Mr. Van Buskirk's
words was invulnerable and inex-
orable.
What mattered her .feelings, her
deep norma) desire to give way to
the promptings of her heart and
admit that what she wanted most
of all was to be George's wife now,
and not In aome far distant time ?
But she was proud, and civiliza-
tion's veener was thick and hard.
Even at this moment her mind
was adding another layer to the
coat, while her heart cried out
against interference.
Just <> moment, and her delicate
chin lifted in the victory of pride.
In a fleeting glance she saw Mrs.
Van Buskirk's eyes upon her, and
the slight, disdainful smile upon
that lady's lips.
Mary understood. She was from
a lower level. She could hardly be
expected to measure up to the
standards of her superiors! Lydia's
expression-said quite plainly what
answer she was prepared to hear
from this upstart young person.
Mary was almost afraid to
speak, lest her voice betray her
struggle, but she forced the words
and to her vast relief her tones
were steady and quiet.
“Of course, you are right, Mr.
Van Buskirk,” she said. “And I am
sure you must realise that it
means as much to me as it does to
you to make certain that George is
not mistaken in thinking he loves
me.” ' '
George strode .o her aide.
“Darling,” he exclaimed. "I am
not thinking I love'you. I do, with
all my heart!”
His father's voice cut in with
the snap of a lash.
“Nevertheless, George, Miss Hale
has made the only decent decision
possible.' No self-respecting girl
would accept a headlong proposal,
in these circumstances. It is en-
tirely to her credit that she agrees
with me '
“My dear,” she said, “please lis-
ten to me. Your father and I only
wish your happiness — and your
wife’s, when you marry.”
She turned to Mary. "Please for-
give me for what J am about to
say,” she added with a smile that
held no warmth, “but it is a point
that is very important. For your
sake, and George's, it must not ap-
pear to the world that you have
married for. ahall we say, material
advantage?"
“Mary needn't prove that to Jhe
world or to anybody,” George re-
sisted hotly.
“Yes. my dear, she must,”,his
mother insisted, “if she wishes
people’ to respect her. I am sure
Miss Hale agrees with me that
your acquaintance, is entirely too
brief to put her above suspicion of
being what your friends might call
a fortune hunter. That is.” she
went on hastily as George wax
about to protest, "if you were per-
suasive enough to induce het- to
rush into marriage.-’'-
Again Mary felt the trap closing
in oh her. Soft velvety words im-
posing world-made restrictions,
and her knowledge of the truth in
them making resistance impossi-
ble. 'Suddenly tears smarted in her
eyes anti she reached for her
handbag. She started to get to her
feet.
| "Loo)< here." George said sharp-

won’t marry immediately. In the
meantime, we must find some way
of preventing it. This has to be
stopped. I have asked Audrey to
dinner. I am sure she can help
us.”
Mr. Van . Buskirk was not much
relieved. "I doubt it. And I don’t
see how a girl who is grabb-ng a
lovesick loon like George can have
the pride you M-edit her with. I
think she's a scheming young hus-
sy, who will atop at nothing to get
what she wants.”
Having expressed himself, Mr.
Van Buskirk found himself believ-

The large quantities of cut flow-

for exhibit far exceeded the expec-

Ehlert, chairman of the Civic De-

She also voices appreciation of the

Pleases Judge
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (UJ!>
Inmates of the city jail here
heaped coala of fire on the heads
of the law.
“Razor Back” Turner, a trusty,
took up a collection among the in-
mates, bought some brown beans,
a spot of garlic, a little bacon and
hamburger, which they concocted
into a “pot likker” so tasty that
everyone from the judge who had
sentenced them down to the police
sergeant in charge enjoyed large
plates of it. The inmates did not
forget to serve themselves as well.

ly. "No matter what you call it.
Mother, formal or informal, Mary
and I are engaged. Please accept
that. And Dad," he turned to his
father, "the condition of our wait-
ing six months before ws marry is
atill up to Mary. AU this talk of
appearance is pure nonsense. Mary
and I don't intend to live in a
glass house. Why should we care
what the world thinks?”
He turned to Mary. “Shall we go
now?” she said, and this time her
voice broke a trifle.
"Thank-you~for' the-"tea, Mrs.
Van Buskirit.” Her gaze swept Mr.
Van Buskirk’s angry visage. “Good
bye,” she said, with all the poHte-
ness she oould muster, and then
hurried toward the door. George
was close behind her.
They did not speak until they
were in his car.
Then Mary said,
like me.”
"They didn’t give themselves a
chance to know you," George de-
clared bitterly. “I'm sorry it turned
out so badly, Mary. I was a fool. I
should have known they’d have to
get used to the idea of my marry-
ing a girl of my own choice.”
Back in the Van Buskirk apart-
ment George's father was saying
rather sharply, “You should have
left it to me, Lydia. You've anta-
gonized the girl, and now George's
back is up.”
"Perhaps.” Lydia agreed, “but
I’m certain we've gained time. The
condition on which George agreed
to postpone their marriage for six
months was ridiculous. Don't you
see? The girl would have refused
to allow George to take an apart-
ment for her solely to void the
condition and get George to marry
her at once. And it is so much
easier to handle that type. I think
she wUl want to convince everyone
that she is not interested in
George's fortune.”
“I hope you are right. If she re-
fuses help from George, he will

a Good Thing, Do It Right
People who care about how their government is run
ought to sit down to a little lesson provided by the effort in
the Sevnata to slide through an increase in the tariff on vege-
table oils.
IMiether these ought tp be such an increase is not dis-
cuased here.
But the method by which it is being sought is so bad
Chat it ought to be noted.
The Senate was considering a bill relating to the mutual
taxation of federal and state employes.
The vegetable oil people, whose position is supported by
several well-organized and powerful lobbies. £ot an amend-
ment tacked on to the tax bill which had nothing at all to do
with the bill, but which provided a boost in the tariff on
certain foreign vegetable oils which compete with local prod-
ucts. * . ..
President Roosevelt very properly indicated that he
would veto the hill if it passed in this form. He resents, and
naturally, a bill coming to him for signature which may be
necessary and proper, but which carries an amendment on
an entirely unrelated subject.
Thus if the original bill is important enough, there is
pressure on the President to sign it, even though he thinks
the unrelated amendment is vicious.
requent dodge in Congress, and it can’t be
often.
In this particular case, it is especially bad because the
vegetable oil tariff is an integral part of the entire tariff
system. It should be considered with, and as part of, the
whole tariff plan. It is bad business to make up a national
tariff policy piece-meal, sliding in concessions here and
there wherever special interests can ggt them. It makes the
whole tariff system a disreputable patchwork.
The vegetable oil people.may have a perfectly good case
We don’t know whether they do or not. and we re not guess-
ing.
But it certainly should be considered in a tariff bill, on
its own merits, and in connection with the whole tariff
policy and our obligations to other countries under the Hull
trade agreements.
• The United States is facing a grave fight in the foreign
trade field. One of our handicaps is that other countries do
not know what they can count on from us. .They know that
at any time any agreement may be upset by a sudden bit of
lobby pressure in Congress. They know that in dealing
with dictatorships they need not fear this.
This is no suggestion that we should turn our tariff-mak-
ing .functions over to any sort of a dictatorship. Congress
should keep that power, but it should prove worthy of it by
making tariff laws in an orderly manner and in accordance
with an adopted principle and policy, and not haphazardly
in response to every temporary pressure. •
