et A THIS HAS HAPPENED Ashtoreih Ashe, cngaged to Hoiis Hart, her millionaire employer, ginds herself, unexpectedly, in & wretched situation. An unpleasant story concerning their romance has weached the papers. On top of that, Hollis figures in an airplane accident with Monty English, her ex-sweetheart. And meantime, Sadic Morton (a friend of Ashtor:th’s) is threatening to sue Hollis. Sadie’s game is black- mail. Ashtoreth, mortified and trightened, determines to thwart| Sadie's schemes, and marry Hollis | fmmediately. He telephones her from Connect- | fcut, where the plane crashed, that he is on his way to Boston. And he tells her that he can have the five- Gay marriage law walved, and | marry her in the morning. She is excited and happy, but a | bit dismayed because of the discon- certing news of Monty English. Monty was also flying to Ashtoreth. When Hollis telephoned, Monty was with him. He asked to speak to Mrs. Ashe, but the connection was abruptly severed. Now, Ashtoreth, with her head in @ mad whirl, is planning for her marriage.

They were married at noon, on the heels of an incredible morning. Hollis has arrived some time after | e =] | their love making. midnight, with a terrible tale of the airplane accident, and high praie of Monty English, e "It was very foggy. and they were flying low. Three hundred feet or so, he thought, from the ground. Suddenly the motor died, and the plane went into a spin. As she crashed through the trees, the wings were torn from the fuse- lage. And the body, when they struck the ground, was twisted and baftered into a shapeless mass The pilot, Hollis said, was badly shaken up. The shock alone had almost killed him. He and Monty from the forward cockpit, and lifted the poor chap out. He was bleeding from the nose and mouth. arnd crying like a woman. Hollis Monty sought welp. There was a newspaper in the plane, that Monty had carried. Hollis was tearing it apart, and using it to staunch the flow of blood from the pilot'’s nose, when his own name, on the front page, caught his eve. “Hollis Ha prominent Boston- ian,” it said, “returned today on the 8.

Her name on the passenger list was given as Ash- toreth Ashe, and her address Bos- ton. “Miss Ashe stayed with him, is a striking brunet with beautiful eyes of a peculiar gray-green. Her age was given . She is tall, and slim. Mr. Hart is said to have ex- pressed a particular preference for the romantic isles of the Caribbean.

Following their departure from the boat, Mr. Hart registered at the Rits, byt checked out shortly. He and his fair companion are believed to be en route to Boston.” Hollis had torn the story from the paper, and stuffed it in his pocket. Shortly Monty returned with help, and the injured pilot was conveyed to a hospital. By that time, wires across the nation were humming . wtih news of the acci- dent, and the remarkable escape of the two passengers. Names were ascertained, anad the story of Hol- Ti return from the Caribbean linked with the news of the crash. The Ashes—mother and daughter —locked the door of their apart- ment.

Maizie had met her future son- in-law stiftly. He was, she reflect- ed sourly, old enough to be her elder brother. He had, moreover, involved Ashtoreth in an unpleas- ant scandal. She looked on him with distrust, and shook his hand coldly, coloring with displeasure. His ease and assurance put at a disadvantage. So that she was awkward, and more ungracious perhaps than she meant to be. She was jealous when he touched Ashtoreth, and angry. She could have cried, when he took her child in his arms, and kissed her. Her mother instincts were untamed as a tiger's, and she wanted to strike his arms away. and tear his hands from Ashtoreth’s shoulders, She -thought of Monty, and could not dismiss him from her mind. “If it was Monty.” she thought, “I should not mind losing Ashtoreth to him. It wouldn't be like losing Der then.” She felt that Hollis would sep- arate her forever from her adored child. And the dreadful fear be- came a horrible conviction, as she watched them together. her “Tell me.” .

SHAPE BUSINESS wen Young Thinks Dishonesty Rare Enough for News New York, Jan. 21 UM—Owen D. Young, chairman of the board of |the General Electric company be- lieves morals shape “big business" and dishonesty is scarce enough to be news. The recently appointed unofficial American member of the committee of experts named to consider Ger- man reparations, spoke from the pulpit of the Park Avenue Baptist church last night on “What is Right With Business.” “Our big business is no longer feared by the people,” he said, drawing a parallel between the de- velopment of . big business and the motor car. “Exploiters no longer own the big concerns. Bankers no longer own them. Their shares are spread from one end of the country to the other. Broadly speaking the vast organizations are in skilled and the roads are reasonably The American public, he said, 25 years ago was more or. less in the position of an old friend of his, whose horse became frightened when it saw its first automobile and {jumped a fence, wrecking the bugzy in which the old man was riding. The driver of the car stopped his car and asked the old gentleman if he could do anything for him. Done Enough “No,” the old fellow answered. T think you've done enough for to- day.” The American people had the same fear of big business as the old man’'s horse did of the auto when it first appeared around the bend, snorting and clattering 25 years ago, he said, but now with the present high geared machines, run by “care- ful, expert drivers” that fear had largely disappeared, The danger today, Mr. Young he- lieves, comes not from bad men in husiness or bad principles but from “the difficulty qf applying right principles to complicated eituations. Our greatest risk is in the mistaken judgment of good drivers where the traffic is heavy and the signals are complicated.” In this connection he said that the American people had the right and should insist that big business exe- cutives “must be held responsiblé not only for its (big business) ma- terial welfare but for its moral con- ducet.” Making Progress “By and large, looking over the quarter century with which I have been familiar I am pleased with the |rapid progress which we are mak- ing toward the right {n business,” {he said. “We are not perfect and never shall be, but we are training our young men with a sense of their great responsibilities and we are providing them with experience from our own mistakes.

In brief, Dr. Clark holds that all life is obeying a con- stant urge to produce certain forms and that when these happen to be born into a favorable covironment they survive as new {ypes of animals and plants.
