They had trout for dinner and .Chandler seised upon that fact to talk Ashing with Mr. Allenbury and succeeded not only In gaining his attention but In making a distinct Impression. Connie waa so obviously bored that, when the band struck up, Chandler, asked her to dance. Bill waa but fair dancer while .Connie waa a magnificent one. . I Tm afraid I'm not a very good dancer,'' he said, turning on all his Iriah charm. "So I see," )die replied coolly. "TO be frank, too. You dance superbly." "I was expecting something or iginal.''

She was in a -deck chair on the windy side of a-Ncompamoaway, wearing an ugly a t&.u glasses ior a a is guise. Bill walked quickly towards her aa inougu unaware or ner presenoe, stopped in, front of her chair and apoke. without a glance towards her: "The dia guise is perfect, but I'd know that ankle anywhere."

"Where did you say?" "In my stateroom the bar's too near the dining room." "Oh, I seel" There was a mean twinkle In Connie's eyes. "Splen did!" "Thanks. Good of you," murmur ed Bill, touched his cap and left her. Some time later, while BUI was leaning against a steel upright on the other side of the deck, the pri vate detective leaned, against Its other side, his back to Chandler. . "Seven o'clock," said Bill, barer above his breath. "She'U be alone In my stateroom. Oive us about ten minutes." "Swell." said the man out of the corner of his mouth. "How did you manage itT" "She thinks Tve Invited a lot of other people ..." BUI grinned with satisfaction as there came a knock at the door of his cabin, looked hastily around: the curtains were drawn, cocktail shaker and glasses on the table, the roses conspiculously arranged. He opened the door and his smile faded at sight of Mrs. Van Arsdale and Babs. "I hope we are not late," gushed Mrs. Van Arsdale, entering. lt waa sweet of vou to sand a aumn kv Connie asking as to have cocktails wita you. ens isn't coming she has another headache."

These' acre ; of-' natural beaut ies and scenic wonders, reserved for the public in h country which has shown too little regard for preserv ing its sou, its forests and its streams, is a fresh reminder that we must not only utilise the resources that are ours, but must guard care fully these resources for future gen erations. Creation of these two great Nat ional Parks on land that is not carv ed from the public domain, as was the case in the West, but purchased bya combination of public and pri vate interests gives new-.hop that we of today appreciate our respon sibility. They are hopeful signs in our national life, signs that our people are beginning again to want some thing more than is offered in the toil and routine of this mass-produc tion age. They are also signs that we are becoming; conscious of the fact that because men have the happy faculty of gathering to themselves large sums of money and great power, it does not mean that they are wise leaders or that their phil osophies are sound. Our new dreams are not the products of individuals. They come from the hearts of our millions. There is no more fitting time to recall that since the days the Indians roamed the hills and valleys that will soon resound to the purr of motor cars, the screech of horns and voice3 of happy people, we have been writ ing new chapters in a history of a great struggle the conflict .between the riphts of the people and the Lord Proprietors of wealth. The effort of today to guard carefully and pre serve the preeminent rights of the people is fresh hope that gains have been made. The preparations we are making for a new future for the South as a mecca for vacationing millions clear ly indicates that we must meet the shining motor age with ideals that are in accord with the day not at tempt to meet it with wagon-road ideals, however proud we may be of the part they played in oar early history. For untold yean there .has been a constant struggle between the three branches of our government the legislative, the execujuvaiM Judicial branches. The'respoE ty of the legislative branch is to in terpret the will of the people'in writ ing the laws that affect -their social and economic welfare; the responsibi lity of the executive,. branch '.i. to faithfully . execute, not dictate ' those laws, and the judicial I .Hbranch is charged with seeing- that the rights of our people are not infringed by the laws placed on the statute books. We have come to look Upon our courts as the last resort of the peo ple. They should ever be that They should never be the first resort of private Interests seeking to circum vent the rights of the majority of our citizens. If Congress fails to cor rectly interpret the legislative will of our people, they have a medium for the quick removal of faithless public servants. There is some merit in the argu ment that the Constitution provides for amendments and that this la the proper course for meeting new con ditions. However, we must not be unmindful that this process is slow. Under it a few states can delay and postpone the desires of the people in a greater number of states. The child labor amendment is an example. While everyone knows that the child labor problem profit at the expense of unfortunate children of tender years is a Mot on our whole nat ional existence, we have had a pro posed amendment to the Constitu tion pending for thirteen long years.

In memory of Edward and Laura Lay- den, i v Our hearts are crushed with grief and pain, Since thou hast gone away, And home Is but a lonely place, Its sun has Bet for aye. Oh! could we have thee back again, As in the days of yore, But ohl tla not the Father's will, Thou shalt return no more. Well ne'er forget thy gentle voice, Thy words of hope and cheer, For thov wast good and kind to all, Unselfish ones so dear. The sun shine dim, the days are sad. Our happiness gone, But trusting God well bravely wait Reunion's cloudless dawn.
