One would have been led to believe, judging by the attitude assumed by some men who have attended the meetings, that the best way to attain an end is to re- sort, to denunciation. Denunciation is not argument. ' It’ is easy,enough for a man to question the sin- .|.cerity.of.another man, and it is even easier for one man; who is carried away by an opinion that others should conform to liv- ing their lives the way’ he wishes they should be lived, to tell others how they should shape their lives. Men of that type apparently forget that another has just as much “right” to try to make them live as he lives as they have to try to change him to entertaining their view of life. Some opinionated men even go so far as to try to force their views on others, forgetful that everybody has his own life to live. It is well, if he lives it unwisely, to try to persuade him to change his mode of life, but you may be sure that denunciation will not make him change it. To return to the commissioners: things have gone so far that a man,:in open meeting, declared he knew who “put, up” $3,000'to: be used as.

The laborer is worthy of his hire but the hirer is entitled to the work. It seems the time has come when we can appropriately drop the Great from Britain. Or better still call her England, for there will always be an England, be she ever so little. DEPENDS UPON PEOPLE World peace, we are told, cannot be based upon the sovereign equality of na- tions but. must..rest..upon..a world-wide legal order, standing above nations, and possessing the power to create law and enforce it upon individuals.

The peace of the world depends more upon the willingness of peoples to live and “Tet: live than upon the \type of govgrmentsy that exist. Little courage is required to espouse the cause of those who repay favors. This is the time of the year when na- ture, in our vicinity at least, turns her smil- in face toward mankind.

The trend of popular opinion, | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Chapter 24 NE=T morning Burk wént about his work with the thought constantly in mind, “She’s here— in my house—where I've wanted her to be all the time!” No use hedging now, no use trying to.deny the surging wave of emotion that had swept ove? him when he had held her in his arms, terrified with a weakening; sickening agony that harm had come to her. Might as well just let down all barriers—those barriers he had erected for the express. purpose of keeping her out of his heart. She had catapulted over them as surely as she had plunged over his stone wall. And now she was here in his heart and in his home. The knowledge gave him a feeling of completeness, as if a part long missing had now been supplied. He could not see now ; beyond the present,—indeed he did not want to Ugnk too much about what the.futfre might hold for them. Whether or not Edith might return his love—and in the end what could be done. about Whit Lacey. Resolutely he shut his mind to that last consideration, hoping against hope that it would take care of itself when the time came. Edith, resting comfortably now in the big bed in the guest room, felt that she had been transported to another world. At Roselands an atmosphere of strain and anxiety} was always manifest, but here: there’ was a peace and dignity: which seemed to impart’ itself toi those who: sought shelter beneath, its roof. The drowsiness of late, summer pervaded the atmosphere and carried Edith-through pees of half-sleeping, half-wa. was an altogether delightful Bate in which to be. The consciousness of where she was, that Burk was close by, that at any time he might stick his head in the door to ask how she felt, lulled her into, a feeling of contented ecstacy. When he appeared carrying her supper tray, with Mrs. Maxon flut- tering close behind, she sat up quickly, lier hand fiyin to her hair in an effort to smooth it. The quick motion set her head to reeling. “Here, should you be jumping up like that?” Burk asked. ST, Buess not. I'm Still a little wy should think you would be. Here, | let me); fix your pillows!” “Now, r. Burk—you just put the tray on the table,” Mrs. Maxon advised. “I’ll attetid to making her comfortable. Pm afraid you don’t know very much about handling patients—” “Says you! Look!” Deftly, gently he slipped an arm under Edith’s shoulders, while with the other hand he adjusted the pillows so that she was resting comfortably in a half-sitting position. ‘“How’s that? Comfortable?” “Fine!” She really was comfor- table, but her head was swimming so she was afraid she might pass out. She was pretty sure she couldn’t eat the delicious looking food they had brought her. She’d have to make a try, though, with both of them watching her so hopefully. With Mrs. Maxon’s help she did pretty well, though Burk was far from satisfied. “You'll have to do a lot better than that if you-expect to be out soon,” he said, then added, “Of course we're not trying to get rid of.you though we do want you to ret_ well soon!” “She looks like 4 véty little girl in ‘those’ pink pajamas with her touseled hair!” he thought. “She’s even lovelier than I remembered!” + Dadith said, “Why-:don’t you sit/ down?” but. Mrs.;;Maxon.inter- rupted, “Because jhe’s not staying. I'll have tg take a hand here. The doctor said,,expressly that any visitors should. stay only a mo- ment!” “And you call me a visitor in my_own house?” “You're a visitor in this room,” she retorted, pushing him toward the door. “Now run along before you make this child ill with your loud talking—1” When he had gone, Mrs. Maxon | said, “I’ve never seen him so con- cerned over anyone—except. his sister, of course. He’s very fond of her. But usually he’s so reticeht—” Edith felt the warm color in her face, a wave of warmth flooding her entire being. "PFS next morning Burk, about to sit down to his bre: in his. sunny, yellow-curtained dining room, looked up startled Me ssee Edith standing in the door 13 iy. She wore a’simple blue linen frock that’ Barbara had brought, her dark: hairiwas smooth: and shining above her flushed face. He hurried to her side. “What do you think you’re do- ing?” he demanded. “You know perfectiy well you’ve no business | down here!” “But I’m feeling fine,” she de- clared. “Look, the swelling has completely gone out of my ankle and my head doesn’t feel barrel any more. I woke up feeling so well I thought perhaps you’d let me join you for breakfast!” | She reached out her hand and } his fingers closed around hers. They stood thus for a long mo- ment, looking deep othe#’s eyes. Then with a little cry of tenderness, Burk’s arms went around her, his lips sought hers. Edith, her heart hardly able to contain the joy of the moment, clung to him in complete abandon. It seemed to her that the whole world stood still, suspe! in this enchanted fragment of time, the beauty of this moment etching lp itself, with witsyathtes ee into eternity. Later, with tears of. glistening on her Vehes, e $ai iy smiling, “You tried so hard not love nie, Burk!” i aye His face sobered. “There Was so much to keep up apart, darling— there still is, you know—” She answered confidently, se- cure now with his arms about her, “We mustn’t let anything happen, Burk! It will all work out right for us—because it’s just got to!” To be continued PEOPLE’S FORUM The Citizen ,weleomes expres- j sions of the views of its read- ers, but the editor reserves right to delete any items whien are considered libelous or anwar ranted.
