Gains and Losses of Prohibition. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) The increasing difficulty of our national econ- omic problems is leading inevitably to a reconsid- eration of the liquor question. Even three or four Jyears ago it was widely believed that Prohibition contributed largely to our prosperity. Today it is the belief of many that a modification of Prohibi- i(im\ would aid in recovery from business depres- sion. ol In this light, the reasoned statement of that dis- !tinguished jurist, Dean Roscoe Pound, is worth re- |calling. Pound says: “As I interpret the evidence 2 _ before us, it establishes certain definite economic The failure of Secretary of Agriculture Arthur |and social gains from National Prohibition. But it M.

They left the houss The yards, the empty weather-| ed barns and outsheds, seemed to swim in a sort of a haze. Fab| pigeons sunned themselves on the| barn roof. Outside, as in the| house, everything was meticulous- ly clean, orderly. A path of old| flagstones led to a strip of gar- den where still bloomed a few ragged chryanthemums, “Oh;” cried Kiftty, lifting her hand. “I hear it. The brook!” “Of course, it's there. Just be- yond those willows.” They left the brook to climb the hillside through old oak trees and maples and firs. When, pres- ently they came out on the top, Kitty dropped to the ground, a lettle breathless. “I love it. It's as good as my hilltop.” And David's silence; his smile of appreciation that was partly for what he saw and partly for her delight, was good to her. The sun lay warm on them. David sat down beside her. Jan reluctantly ruled up at his mas- I'm glad you brought I can rather guess what me here. it means to you. It's—it's so safe.” He nodded his head. “I've want- ed to bring you here, Kitty,” he said simply. She had a pleasant sense of sharing with David something so intimately a part of him that he had not words for it. She re- called the look on his face when he told her that his forebears had owned most of this valley—a fine proud, respectful look, a look of belonging. She was shyly conscious of thz depths in David which she never had suspected. She'd mot known them because always when she'd plete wrapt in her own plight David, hew old was your moth- er when she went away?” “T'wenty. She weni to Winton to teach school. She'd graduated from Cornell, you see, the year be- fore. She met my father that Winter. They were married in the Spring.” Kitty's brows What had Gar said? father had married out class, something like that “How old were you when she died, David?” “Four.” “And you don't remember her?” “More now than I did. This place has helped me. She used to come here with me Summers, I suppose. Her father avas liv- ing then. I can remember her playing with me in the brook.” Kitty was silent, held in deep compassion. She divined swiftly how much David needed that sense of love. She remembered how he'd had to go to his father's home, an intruder. “David, tell me more wbout! yourself,” she said at length, soft- ly. He gave a short laugh. “Not particularly pretty talk, Kitty. I guess I wasn't much more as a kid than I am a man now.” Then a sudden anger seized him. I was ready to adore hér—that wo- man who took my mother’s place. She was the kind a kid would like, pretty looking and all that. I wasn't hers, She shut me out from everything. . She was pois- on, slow, sweet, deadly poison. She worked # on my father. She's made him insensible to all but the need of making money. She's worked it on poor old Car- ol—" Kitty made a little protest. “But Carol's hers.” drew together. That his of his Gar she wanted.

I thought there was something about me that was queer—I'd listen through ¢ door while she showed off baby tricks. Probably Carol felt the same way I did. That's the kind of things that leaves ars, Kitty.” Jan had snuggled closer to his master. David's hands caught his gy fur, dug deep in it. I told you it wasn't pretty Kitty. You can't get it, perhaps-you haven't run up against hatred, the kind that's put into a child's heart, that eats into his soul. T've been afraid of it for 1 “I'm not going to let it touch me Kitty cried on a sharply drawn breath. “Oh, Gar,” she squared her shoulders, with a val- ient little air of strength. “Why y don't you forget it, David. You could.” I was too sensitive, more in- itrospective than a kid ought to be. Well, I walked out when I was eighteen. She’d framed some petty things against me and I wouldn't deny it. It came to me all at once that I didn't have to deny it ito her—that she didnt need to count. I got a job past- ing advertising stuff on bill boards. 1 wanted to write—I used to grind stuff mnights with a blanket wrapped around me because my room was so damn cold. I couldn't sell any of it—guess it was pretty bad. But it kept me out of mis- chief. After a couple of years I got a chance on the Times, ie- porting—"" And then you had Dorcas—" Kitty broke in dnvoluntarily. David nodded. “Yes I met Dorcas.’ I'd kept in touch with my fa- in his office. I used to drop around there late in the after- nnoo to have a talk with him. One night he took me home to dinner with him. I didn’t want to put a foot into that house, but I sort of got it that he was lonely. After that I went there to eat with him now and then, just as I did that night I met you. He's talked about my moth- er. Two years ago he gave me this place. TIt's taken every cent I can scrape together to keep it ther up for it’'s worth it to me. TIt's safe—just as you said. I get a fe when I'm here of belong- ing to my mother's people. It quares me up.” He lapsed into a deep silence, then, which Kitty would not break through, she longed to tell him how grateful she was that he had let her into his confidence. Her heart brimmed with tender, word- less affection. He roused after a little with @ laugh. I haven't spilled as much as this to anyone, Kitty, I guess it's beceusg youre you. But what say to opening some of these cans?” He sprang to his feet. He took Kitty’s hands to help her to hers. He kept his hold on them as she stood, straight and slim, before him for a moment. I've never brought anyone else here, Kitty. TI've never wanted to—before.” “Thanks, David.” They went down the ftrail on through the woods gray now for 'the sun was slipping over the hill- top. David built a fire on the livingroom hearth, drew a low ta- ble to it and spread a cloth over the table top, It was when they had finished their meal, a cozy meal before the crackling fire that he turned to Kitty with a smile. “You've forgotten. You were going to tell me something.” She relatéd every detail of her luncheon with Miss Lee and what Miss Lee had said to her. A little excited tone colored her voice. “And I shall go on work- ing even after—" She coloring. like that. a fool. Gar will find me, don't you un- derstand that? wouldn't have anything. Even my love for Gar wouldn't be worth— “Oh, David, don' look It makes me feel like I have to believe that If I didnt I And it must give a woman a splendid feeling of partnership.” “It's a fine-sounding plan. It goes — with some. But what if Gar won't see it the way you do? Whalt then? Reconciliation at any price?” His question had a Mbrit- tle edge. Offended, Kitty shut her lips to any answer. Suddenly David swung around to her. He stood over her, his face sfern. “Kitty, can't you see, yet? Haven't you Ilearned the truth? That woman owns Gar body and soul—shell give him so much rope and no more. You haven't a chance against her. You can’t make Gar over—he's a very spoiled, selfish easy-going lazy fel- low. The most yon can do is compromise and you'll give up all that's fine in you and you won't be anywhere. Call it a bad busi- ness, a mistake—go back to Bridge- water—" Kitty had risen to her feet so shrinking back from him, her eyes fixed in horror on his face, her lips trembling.
