keep the load from moving forward.
What all of us need to learn is that
we are so constituted that anything that
calls for community movement will fall
short of meeting the demand of every indi-
vidual having to do with realizing it.
What we must also learn is that un-
less we forego these idiosyncracies and
bury them in the general interest of the
whole, the community will never realize
its best or gain the most.
There are places and times, of course,
where we are to draw lines, but generally
speaking there is too much of this holding
back and balking on loads that require the
pulling of all of us.
After all, when we work together with
the other fellow, we more frequently find
his heart is as our heart than we find it
different.

Learning To Pull Together
Is A Community Asset
-ommunity Asset
In every community there is always
more or less of the kind of spirit which
holds back on the tugs for the reason
things are not to suit them exactly.
The tugs may be hitched to the politi-
cal angles of the city, the schools, public
improvements, the Chamber of Commerce,
or something else which has for its good
betterment of conditions which will help
all of us directly or indirectly.
If some one would only tell us how to
make a high taste for things and a low
salary meet the present day condition, we
would be willing to say the millenium is
not far away.

CHAPTER XXXIII
I slept rather late and had break-
fast alone in tho sun room. Sally
came out to sit with me. She had
been asleep when I got in, and I was
asleep when she got up. I told her
in a low voice, about Morin’s proof.
“Fishy?’’
“So it seems to me. I will know,
I hope, this afternoon. I have to get
to New York—have to fly to New-
ark again because I overslept and
missed the early train.”
Mason came out with the mall.
The carrier had just left it. There
was nothing for me. One of Sally’s
letters was from a friend in France,
the blue postage Btainp reminded
me of I.ardeau.
“Oh, yes, I forgot—they've found
Professor Lardeau and ho is coming
back here,” I said.

brought out the letters. Ho seemed
to be thoroughly embarrassed. It
was the first time I had ever seen his
face red.
"Coming back ? Have they ar-
rested him?” Sally asked.
“That’s the queer part of it.” I
noticed that Mason took a napkin
from tho serving table and was wip-
ing tho tray. "Lardeau is coming
back willingly, the cablegram said.
My bet Is that ho will escape.”
I told her my reasons for believ-
ing this. Just as I was to be driven
to Meadowville to get a ’plane, Phil
tailed me.
“That’s straight, Harley,” ho
laid.
"What, where are you?"
"Back in Hoboken. There was a
fire in Carlstadt about twenty-one
years ago—I have the figures. It
atroyed some records."
“Thanksf Keep watch of those
people. My guess is that we are be
ginning to get hot."
“That’s good. This is deadly dull.
If I weren't getting well paid I’d
chuck it."
I asked Rally to go up and tell
Mary and Mrs. Stapleton that they
were bringing Professor Lardeau
back, and that we would be able to
get his story in nbout a week.
“By the way,” I said, “do some
research work for me, will you?
Look up this Van Dyck, I found
something in the encyclopedia but
there are 6ome authoritative vol-
umes on art up at Mary's. Montieth
was interested in it. Find out all
about him "”d cmeeiallv tret a list
of his work if you can, where it is
now—everything. I want to be able
to talk intelligently with Professor
Lardeau on Van Dyck, if he ever
does get here.” 9
Sally promised.
I managed to miss a 'plane at
Meadowville and waited an hour
rather than engage a special one.
This made me a couple hours late,
so that I did not reach the office of
Mr. Schwarz until ndd-afternoon.
A young man, evidently an as-
sistant, told me that Mr. Schwarz
was out. Ho had expected me
earlier, and had left word that h#
would be back at four.
"Did you work with him on the
tests?" I asked.
‘No, sir. That is, I helped, but he
said nothing to me. I would not be
at liberty to report, even if I knew."
I tried to get interested in some
scientific and chemical publications,
Mr. Schwarz was back exactly on
time.
“Well, sir, what results?” I asked.
"Several. Wait, I will show you.”
Why the devil couldn’t he have
told me in a couple of words, I won-
dered.
He took me into a small room fit-
ted something liko a laboratory.
"This,” he said, holding up the let-
ter, “is no good."

"Certainly."
He had prepared for this and

I telephoned to Sally that I would
stay over in New York, as it was

Forgery ?
“The date is February 14, 1912.
None of this sort of paper was made
before 1921.”
“What’s that?"
“That is so. The ink is also new,
quite new. The paper was made by
Rollins Company. This company
wasn’t In exlstcnco in 1914. Some-
one .has baked it a little, fumed It,
and*made it brittle and apparently
aged.”
“Let me got this right, Mr.
Schwarz,” I said, trying to sup-
press my excitement, "the date is
February 14, 1912, written on this
paper, but the paper was not manu-
factured until at least nine years
later."
“That is as 1 said, sir.”
“The ink is—er—new?"
"The ink isn’t five years old.”
“You are sure—" I checked my-
self. “I beg your pardon, Mr.
Schwarz. I know that you are sure.
I know that you have proved many
times, in court, forgeries quite along
this line.”
“I can prove this in any court for
you, sir—of course for my deserved
fees. I mean, that It is part of my
livelihood. I make no mistakes, no
money could tempt me to testify
falsely."
“I found that out before I came
to you. We don’t want any false
testimony, we are after tho truth."
“i cuu bring my record of this.
If this letter is introduced in court
and my word is doubted, I can re-
peat my tests and prove it again."
“Will you give me an affidavit
•bout this—to take to the lawyer
"Oh Harley—honestly? How per- .
fcctly grand. I’ll go at once. Tell
me—”
“Not over the wire, Old Girl. Sea
you tomorrow.”
I called the little hotel in Hobo-
ken and left word for Phil to coma

greeting.
"Plenty. How's everything?"

Your pride will make you do a good
Job. More than that, Mrs. Staple-
ton is quite likely to make you a
most generous present.”
"I’m on the job, Harley," he as- 1
