Mr. Hoover declared that the economic situation in much of the territory lie visited could only be expressed by the t Min “complete demoralization.” I Ie cont inned : “As a result of seven Invasions by different armies, the countr,t lias been largely denuded of buildings.

Harry Wolf, leading Omaha realtor, has agreed to pay Hie entire expense of the Nebraska campaign.

Yhu might bring Miss Lane a mirror,” he saifi to Hie waiting nurse. She was weak with suffering, and her mind was tortured with questions of the future, for her training had born limited and the simple matter of a livelihood was no small Item now.

Ive fugues, tliej wander homeless hungry, In rags. Herbert Hoover bos said Hint one million people will die in Eastern Europe this winter. Thousands upon thousands will perish of starvation and oxposure unless immediate aid comes from America. The destitution of Jewish war sufferers during the coining months will probably surpass anything ever known .ii the history of human suffering. Their suffering is worse than neath it is the lingering torture of starvation, tile piteous tragedy of emaciation, tho horrible waiting, in agony of hunger, for the grim reaper to end their misery. These six million despairing souls are totally dependent on American generosity for the bare necessities of life.

His mild fun in calling lier “By way” instead of “Lane" had pleased her In her childish weakness; now, however, she turned to the pillow. His voice was gentle, for he seemed to understand. “Look hetv, you must not feel that way—” “No, but if you—wore—to—go through life—this way—pitted—by everybody,” she returned brokenly. “Besides, I— She paused. “Besides what?" he urged in the same gentle fashion. She shook her head and waved him aside. The sight of his strong, pleas ant manhood, tile sound of his voice, for sortie reason or other, made her misery all the more bitter—Just why she did riot know. Kilo did not guess the purpose in the nurse’s friendly questioning timt <*• ning, lait because there was no one in tile world to whom she could confide some of her anxiety, she told the nurse what she refused to tell Doctor Wal ter. And the nurse did not tell her of that purpose, nor offer any suggestion as to how the mutilated girl might solve the problem she was faeing. The next morning, Doctor Walter stopped again. “Miss Lane, I have come to make you a formal offer of a position as my secretary; I want yon to look after my office; are you willing?” She lifted her scarred face. “So that was why tile nurse asked me so many questions!” She turned away “Even you pity me.” “No, I ain sincere. I really need some one, and you have had experience with drugs," he said patiently. The quiet reproof in his voice was enough. “Forgive me, I hardly know what I nm saying. Yes, lf I can serve you, I want to." “All right,” he said, cheerfully. “We’ll consider tho matter settled.” So it came about flint after a week she found herself in charge of tho (loo tor’s pleasant office. Froth the day she hail seen her blue scarred faro she had not looked Into a mirror. She combed her hale by gentleness, and the way hts eves won in rest upon her In moment a when she guessed he dbl not realize that she knew he was looking at her. Everything seemed to combine to make life more and more dismal as she looked down the slope of five years. Worst Of nil, and unguessed, she found herself being drawn more and more to the tall, handsome physician. Ills personality seemed to the weakened and worried girl a shelter within which there was kindliness and pence. The full force of Hie situation did not strike her unlil one momentous day, when a girl came Into the office, lovely with five loveliness that Is always suggestive of June time and roses. She was welcomed with manifest pleasure by Walter, and the stricken girl In her simple gray and whlto dress felt the world sink about lier. “I must he brave,” she said to herself. I must, lie Just pities me, and I must not trouble him.” Two weeks went by. The Junettde girl came and went with Walter; and his Interest in her presence was evident. Then mine the viny that bore with It a change of destiny. The Jnnetide girl, her face flushed with Joy, hurried from the office, and Walter, following with as much pleasure shining on ills, went with lier. Purls watched them go, and guessing what had taken place between them, felt the room about her gr*»w gray as with dusk. From her world the Inst sunshine went. Through the darkness came a suggestion. She trembled. To go through life alone— an object of pity when she was so hungry for love, for beauty and happiness ami youth—It was too much. The afternoon waned. The din of tho great city ebbed into the low monotone suggestive or tides that have spent their force, drawing outward to the sen. She sat In silence, then quietly silo went to the cabinet In which he kept tile drugs with which he stocked his case. She knew every compartment. From a bottle she shook out with u steady hand three tablets morphine—enough to send her Into the long and restful sleep which would carry her beyond suffering, beyond pity, beyond heartache. Taking them, and shivering only slightly In the net, she turned to the couch and lay down. “I nm sorry, dear, for the trouble and bother I shall caiisti you, hut I am weary beyond weariness.” ******* (Jilt of the darkness mine a voice, insistent, firm and thrilling, with a meaning that broke into her consciousness. She opened lier eyes, feeling strangely rested and at peace. The lights were soft and shining In the office. Kneeling beside her, his face strained with anxious question, was Walter. “Doris, Doris, what have you been trying to do?” Tile grief in his voice woke her to full consciousness. Sanity came. With a low cry she sprang up, to find herself caught in his arms and held tight. “Don’t pity me!” she begged breathlessly. His voice indicated that he had found himself. “I don’t pity you.” Ile drew her closer to him, “I love you ! How blind you have been I Haven’t you seen?” “Seen? You love me—me?" she questioned In a whisper. “Listen, you stay in my arms until I arn through. I do love you—have from the time I saw’ you in the ward! hut you have given me no sign—wrapped in your own thought; is that it?” “But look at me!” His mellow laugh relieved the tension. “So that is it! Foolish girl, I ain not one of those who love a face; I love the spirit behind those brown eyes of yours—a troubled spirit now. Let me bring it peace. May I? Just say ‘Yes!’” Silo clung to him. Speech was beyond lier for the moment. After a struggle she whimpered:    “And    I    have loved you from the moment you looked at me and npoke to me, but I did not dream—” “Tin* dream begins pow, my dear, to come true.” K s lips brushed her warm and quivering ones. “Let's close the office. Then we'll go for a bing spin under tho stars. We—” Site remembered. Horror filled her eyes. “But I took morphine! Why did—” “No,” he said gently; “I was worried about you, and was fearful myself. I had filled that bottle with harmless sugar pills. Little girl, I have watched you and kept ward over you. I did not intend to lose you—waiting In hopes that you would take some interest In me." The music In her heart died at tho shock of her recollection. Af his inst words It started up softly the music that links eternity to eternity. “You love me—even my hideous face!” she said again, as if the news were too good to he true. He turned in Ills authoritative physician's wji>, and going to the corridor, returned with a mirror. “You sensitive soul, you ought to know those scars have faded out!" Silo took t!ie mirror, wondering, a last wonder surging In her heart. All those long weeks she had kept lier vow never to look upon her marred face. She took Hie mirror, Ills eyes tender upon lier. One glance was enough. The blue, vivid scars wore gone. Memories of them would remain. but his love wvwId him! even them with the balm that Is the surest healing of a1! woes of earth—Use balu) of a great love.

All the preparations were made for a large wedding, and a large crowd of friends was witnessing the ceremony at the bride’s home. As the minister neared the words, “I pronoun ch thee man and wife,” the bride turned deathly pale and rushed from the room. Much to the dismay os well as the humiliation of the hrble- of the department, who visited the scene of the turglury and came hack shaking their heads seriously, with the announcement; “No clew.” It was tim following day that the chief hailed inc at my desk in a bantering sort of way. “See here, Wharton,” he observed, “you have done some good theorizing in your tim-’ and have expressed a longing for so • real detective work. How does Huh puzzling Folsom case strike you? The big four have thrown it In the air on a ‘no thoroughfare’ basis, 'lite big Jewelry firm has offered $10,090 reward. Why not take a hand and earn enough to make you feel comfortable for a few years?” I had a talk with the head of our crack professional quartette soon afterwards. Blake Muriel was his name and he had done some marvellous things in the sleuth line, hut he was short and snappy In his replies to my interested Inquiries. Don’t wing any hopeful flight on that mixup,” he advised. “It’s simple, but trackless. One person broke into the house, forced the safe and walked off. It was a neat, quick Job. In one thing, however, the criminal, for such he was, and an accomplished otic at that, heat us to It. We relied on finger marks. There wasn’t one.” Two hours later I visited tile flat where tile crime had been committed. It was Gregory Folsom himself who met me at the door, and when I had introduced myself as a special investigator from the bureau he cordially and courteously invited me into tile flat. He looked anxious and depressed, showed me tin* forced door and that of the safe, ami I was about to make my departure when a beautiful girl entered the room. “My sister,” he introduced briefly. And then: “Eunice, this is n man from the detective department. I have told him ait T know.” The charming creature bowed to mu pleasantly. Then to her brother. “Did you mention the man whom I noticed hanging around the building day before yesterday?” “Why, no,” responded Folsom. “You can’t describe him.” “And the gloves, Gregory?” “Ah, yes, Hie gloves! I didn’t think of that,” said Folsom, and ills sister left the room and returned with a pair of kid gloves in lier hand. “We found these In the hall,” she explained, “wad* ded up, as if worn for some purpose and then thrown aside.” I examined them carefully. They showed creases and peeling where they had evidently been used for some rough work. They were immensely large, quite beyond tile numbers kept In the average glove stock, They were brand new. Studying them closely. I discerned that they must have fitted to great splay hands. Another discovery they were brand new and workmanship upon them showed that they had evidently been made to order. Something In my manner seemed to Inspire pretty Eunice Folsom with curiosity and hope. “Do they givp you any clews,” she inquired eagerly. Ami In response I turned hack the Inside of one glove. Across it was stamped the name of its maker, “Jules Lefarge, 22 Conway street.” “Very much so,” I said. “You have furnished a full start In the quest for a man with remarkably large hands, who wore those gloves so as to leave behind no tell-tale finger prints.” Within an hour I was at the establishment of Tules Lefarge. It was no trick for him to Immediately recall supplying a dozen pairs of gloves made to order for a man with very large hands a month prior. They had been delivered to Benjamin Stole, HPJ Park Row. I hurried thither to learn from Hie landlady that the man with tile big hands had paid his hill the day previous and had departed. But a letter had arrived that very same evening. As a duly commissioned emissary of tho police I deemed It best to appropriate it. Tho address of tile writer in a neighboring city was given. I reached it the next morning, called In two detective auxUarles and located the writer of the letter and his guest In the man with the gloves. It was with a good deal of satis-faction that I encased those brawny hands with a pair of handcuffs. It was with Hire and radiant delight that T decorated the soft, gentle ones of Eunice Folsom with aa engagement ring somewhat later.
