THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 1936. Golden ain Margaret CWiddemer SYNOPSIS: Through Morgan Black, who appeared one day as her Aunt Ella Lanning’s boarder, Iris Lanning has found the brother Owen who had, she believed, died many years before. She has found also her aunt Josephine, a famous couturiere, and learns that against his wilt Owen designs for their® aunt. Now Iris ts taking Owen to see her aunt and her Uncle Wil- Ham, both of whom have sacrificed their lives to the memory of Iris’ dead father, the painter who was supposed to have been the family s ; Chapter 12 BITTER TRUTH “EYAVEN’T you any money?” asked Ivis. “It would take whet we both have for all that, and to carry me till things get better—this is a bad time for architecture anyhow. But that isn’t the point; Sigrid won't marry me till | cut out working for Phina. But | owe it to Phina, much as | hate being a man-milliner.” His shoulders sagged a little. There seemed nothing to do but to slip her hand in his and say, “I’m sorry.” “But what about you?” he de manded more briskly. “Who's this Black that seems ic be running everything? You engaged?” “Goodness, no!” tris answered aghast. “Just a boarder. As for even being interested in each other, we began with a terrible row. He's a splendid friend, though!” she add- ed. “He’s been wonderful to Uncle Will, We don’t know much about him, except that Uncle Will says he knows enougk about human nature to know he’s never done anything very wrong.” Owen was a little white as he en- tered the house; but he was saying flippantly, “For unworldliness, you should all get large leather medals.” On the stairs they met the doctor coming out. “Oh, hasanything happened?” Iris demanded; the doctor did not come to that economical household unless something was very wrong indeed. The doctor spoke to her cheerily. “Only a touch of neuritis, a hang: over from your uncle’s burt leg. And a bit nervous excitement, | under- stand.” He looked keenly at Owen, unmistakably a Lanning. “He can see visitors; it’s better for him than suspense. But he mustn't get up for a couple of weeks. This is your brother, isn’t it?” “Yes. My brother Owen.” “Good. Glad to see you here, my boy. You'll find you have very fine people. Now go along and meet your uncle.” Uncle William was ready them, calm and interested in ais armchair. “I'm glad to see you, my boys,” was all he said, queerly. Owen came over and put his hand tn his. Iris slipped out of the room. Before | she was gone she could see them. Owen and Uncle Will, sitting for ward, beginning to talk in the slow cool friendly way they both had She smiled a little to herself. They would get on. After perhaps half an hour Owen caine downstairs. He spoke in the light way she had learned was nis armor. “Grand old guy.” he said. Then, as if he didn’t mean to be so in earnest but couldn't help it: “Rela tionship’s a queer thing, Iris. | ex- pected this would all be pretty awk: ward; but—hang it all — 1 belong with you and Uncle Will! I'm the same breed of cat.

She opened the door of the beau tiful tong old parlor. She stood by the door, and watched him move about the room. she saw bim pass one picture, pause at another, ull he bad made the round of them twice. He returned to her. “All right, let's go,” was all he said. “No. Tell me.” He was direct. “All wasted. No good at all, fris.” She backed against the wall. She felt as if someone had struck her over the heart. Her great blazed. “All for cotamp? Cace Acat Josephine not marry we were just usua “Lots like us all for | eyes | tion. When he wouldn’t go take a job she took us and went away.” “No good! I can’t believe it.” Sud- denly she got control of herself. “You mustn’t tell them—Aunt Ella and Uncle William. They'd die.” “Gosh, Iris, you're a grand per- son!” She shook her head, tremulous, 'm not grand, Owen. Can’t you see? I’m selfish. Because—this frees me.” Her brother flung an arm around her. “I’ve never been free myself. But if 4 can manage it you shall be. After all, if the old people did it they wanted to. There’s a lot of waste in life usually, | guess.” And then Iris knew that in spite of the sophistication and the world- liness of this new brother of bers there was something she could give him; her freshness, her belief in life and living, her knowledge that everything was important and worth while. “But we're young! |on!” she said ardently. He looked at her. “Can we? If you say so, Iris, some how | can go on believing.” She laughed. “Of course! And uow, since you are going to be an architect, look at the house. isn’t it good? And Daddy has a collection of Stiegel glass ne used to show people. Owen, you mustn't think of him as cruel. Being with him was like being in exciting sunlight—1 can’t say it any other way— people would give everything for it.” He looked at her gravely. “Being in exciting sunlight. That's a good phrase for it. You have it, too, Iris.” She laughed and shook her head. “Oh, I'm Iris—I'm a cross between sun and rainstorms! Here, look at the glass!” She went to the cupboard, open ing it to show him the long array. We can go UT he did not exclaim, or look impressed, as she had expected him to. “Come on away,” he said, suddenly angry He banged shut the cupboard door. He took her by the wrist and walked her out into the hall, where be threw her coat and béret on her and telephoned for a taxi, and had her back at Phina’s room in the hotel before she knew what it was about. “Phina, you were darn right about Aunt Eila,” be said furiously as he walked in. he’s kept Father full of collector's items and luxuries, while this poor kid’s never had a decent thing in ner life. As far as 1 have anything to say she shan’t stay with that nutty old woman one minute longer:” “Hold on a minute,” said Mor- san's clipped quiet voice from be hind Aunt Phina, where they haa been standing talking by the win dow. “Iris nas had high ideals and love and devotion. She's lived with one of the finest men | ever met, she’s been brought up to honesty and simplicity and gayety. She is better educated and bas more tal- ents than any girl I’ve ever seen. I'd like to know how much real love and unselfishness and happiness you can offer this girl if you snatch her away from a home that centers on her. “You seem to have rather a low opinion of the world outside Persia, Pennsylvania,” said Phina in a silky voice with an edge under its silkiness. “It has—misjudged you, perhaps? Your romantic ideas of what we are offering her do not approve, perhaps, the society of her own brother—and perhaps a better hat and shoes?” Morgan iad flushed, as if some phrase of Phina’s struck home, but |he answered rharply uone the less. |“ can only repeat that a girl of | tris’s ideals and upbringing will not i happy in the life you can give rn You scem to think the Lannings down there are the only people in the world who can love Iris,” said | brother, and | love her and want her.

Professor Emeritus, Profits are what is left from the sale of a product or a service after all expenses are paid. They are the income of the self-employed busi- ness man, farmer or shop keeper. They are the sole reason for go- ing into busi- ness for oneself. They are all the self - employed man has to live on. No one con- tracts to pay him an income in the form of wages, salary, interest or rent. His in- come is con- tingent, not contractual. If he does not keep the expenses of production below the price of his product, he gets no in- come. He may and frequently does suffer loss. If it were not for the hope of profits, no one would go into business for himself. If no one went into busi- ness for himself, there would be no wages, salaries, rent or interest from privately owned businesses. Every one would either haveto produce for his own consumption, or the govern- ment would have to run every busi- ness and employ everybody.
