creasing stabilization is behind the
effort of the Norwegian government
to securi- a loan of 645,000,000 from
American banking interests.
The Norwegian government and

Norwegian business interests are

high tariff restrictions on imports.

Morc scientific treatment of delin-

in as principal needs of juvcnile
courts throughout the country in a
report made public today by the
Children's Bureau of Labor De-

The Bureau found that only five

Eight of the ten courts reported
detention of children in Jails or po-

principle among juvenile courts not
to do so.

held out. two trembling hands.
He looked at her stupidly mak-
ing wild efforts to grasp his snif-
control. This appearance, in the
very midst of the passionate long-
ing for once unchecked in his
voice, came with the shock of an
apparition called up by his own
emotions. Though the figure and
face were those of Leo. he scarcely
{recognized the spirit they clothed.

By degrees the man's dazed

each arm free of the fur motoring

and half led, half carried her to

He caught her close in his arms and
whispered his passionate cry into
her lips. "I can say the words to
you now . . sing them . . .
about them to the world-—I love

Half-sobbing, be buried his face
again upon her own. All his'tur-
hulent spirit was unburdeniug it-
self at last. Yet there was no trace
now of the unlmulish lack of self-
control which once had revoltsd
her. Leo could cling to him to
night. her own starved heart sooth-
cd by the warmth that showered
around it. But still her eyes held
that peculiar, unseeing, distant
look. . . .

hoarse. He struggled into his own

tonight. Nor an: I. But I know

Again from the doorway. the
pale face of “Midlr” seemed to
gaze down into her own—his arm
to entice her away to somewhere
distant, somewhere unknown to
the world of hard plain facts.
At about. eight o‘clock next
morning a taxi from Cuvinghsm
Station surprised the inhabitants
of Willerton who were out in the
roads. Passing the church and
vicarage, it whirled up the main
village street. down the lane to
The Towers, and through the open
lodge gate.
This was the home where Leo’s
body lived. This was the house
wherein her'spirlt had wandered
unmatcd. craving his in its lone-
liness. These were the material
comforts she had felt—would re-
nounce—for his sake.
After a sleepless night and the
early journey. his nerves, under
the present stress. seemed each
to be a living, vibrating wire.
What would be the result of this
quixotic adventure? Fullness or
emptiness? . . . The forthcoming
interview with the man who had
conquered Leo's love held for him
A curious fascination. He felt the
kind of curiosity he would have
ft-lt over the instruments about to
lacernte his flesh in an operation.
Pomfrey opened the door. look-
ing, as Leo said, like his own
efiigy.

usually early visitor. had left over

The people waiting for trains at

patiently up and down the platform.
impatience was too foreign to their
lives to be appreciated. Their own
unemotlonal features set heavily,
their close-cropped heads bulging
with self-importance over their own
“Business." the men were accus-
tomed to waiting for trains gazing
stolidly at the metal of the line
until the engine hove in sight. His
grace of movement and vivid pic-
turesque appearance struck them
as strange and therefore freakish.
They eyed him with suspicion.
. ,Val studied their demeanor close-
ly, through apparent casual glances.
He searched. remembering Leo's
words, for the soul she had missed
in these eyes which looked u if
they visioued figures—figures be-
fore which stood an L and an S and
a D—endlass figures. .
"Lord!" be thought. uI can see
them enjoying heavily their whisky
and their bridge! What else?
What else? What else? Oh. my
Leo!"
Pomfrey had not expected his
master back for several days. but
could give no address. Val had
gone straight to the~ works. Armed
with a business address only. his
nerves yet more fretted by delay.
he snatéhed some breakfast in the
town and waited for the next train
to Manchester. He felt furiously
angry with Wallis.
And this auger gave the devils
seeking to shake his resolve an
added weapon. Ho visualized his
own actions had the position been
reversed. He imagined himself re-
ceiving the letter Leo had left bo-
hiud. The shock—tbs awful empti-

More than all Leo's words. this

But still that hiddcn voice be-

like the revarberatlng echoes of a
‘bell, below those other menacing
words—the voice that had cried
last night to Leo: "But I know.
.. Iknow." . . .
Manchester m reached at last.
Val drove straight to the business
address. There he was greeted
with another delay. A secretary
vouchsufed the information that
Mr. Wallis had left. “He looked
very ill. and went back to his
hotel." Val took the name of the
hotel and hurried off. This would
be better. be reflected, than an in-
terview in an office.
The information of the severe.
lady of the bureau was corroborat-
ed by that of the hall-porter: Mr.
Wallis bod fetched bis lussase
about half an hour ago. canceled
his room. and gone. . . . And
the same rider: “He looked very
ill." . . . With an audible curse,
Val turned and hurried back to the
station. The slow train, with con-
nectlons for Cuvingham, had just
left. ‘A night express started in
two hours. Val cursed more thor-
oughly. and the porter retired dis
creetly.
Nothing remained but to pace the
streets in order to assuage his tor-
tured mind. to have some food. and
to wait for the emress. Harry pre-
sumably had caught the slow train.
What was his move? “Business"
thrown to the winds. . “Very
ill." . . . Val fumed at this do-
lay. Missed by half an hour. .
He began to feel taut. like a wire
that woud presently break. Un-
conscious of danger he wondered
about the streets, narrowly escap-
lug motors and buses . not
caring if they ran over him or not.
Arriving at Cuvingbam in the
early hours of dawn. travel-stained
and infinitely weary in body and
mind. he went to 3 hotel and
snatched a few hours' restless
sleep. Not waiting for breakfast.
be telephoned to The Towers. But
to his astonishment he learned that
Harry had not yet returned—no
fresh news had been received of his
movements. The same information
was vouchsafed later at the Works.
He was supposed to be still in Man-
chester. If not. probably unex-
pected private developments of his
business had taken him elsewhere.
With growing uneasiness. Val
wandered about the streets; tried
to road the newspapers; stared un-
seeingly into shopwiudows. Twice
be rang up Willerton. Three times
he returned to the works. At last,
late in the afternoon. after arrang-
ing for a wire immediately any
news came through, he caught the
train back to town.
Val arrived at Manchester soon
after midday. He drove. this time.
straight to the hotel. The same
severe lady at the bureau eyed
him curiously—suspiciously. he
fancied. Mr. Wallis. was there,
she said; had just come in. . . .
She lifted her mouth from the tele-
phone. "What name?"
Upon quick reflection, Val de-
cided not to give his name. “I
wish to see him privately. ., . .
Urgent business. . . . Somewhere
alone—where we shall not be in-
terrupted.” . .
The lady called a page. to whom
she gave quick instructions Her
manner of terrific efficiency quite
frightened Val. Feeling himself
dismissed by' the shoulder now
turned toward him, he followed the
page into the lift. Along a corri-
dor that seemed endless. he was
led at the rate of about fifty miles
an hour . . . round innumerable
corners . . . until at last he found
himself alone in a small sitting-
room.
A queer silence had apparently
fallen over the entire world. Val
walked to the window, which over-
looked a narrow side-street. He
noticed a small boy throwing
stones for a puppy. He wondered
very clearly and seriously how
many stones the boy had already
thrown. and how many more he
meant to throw. If he threw three
a. minute for an hour. that would
be three times sixty . one
hundred eighty . . Yes, one
hundred eighty . . . But surely
the puppy’s mouth would get sore?
Perhaps the stones wens round
ones. . . .
For what seemed like hours Val
was only conscious of the boy, the
stones and the puppy . . ; and
of 5 funny twitching sensation in
his fingers which he could not con-
troL He had just decided to close
his hands to stop the twitching,
when n. startlingly abrupt turn of
the door-handle made his nulls bite
into the palms they were meeting.
. . . He braced his shoulders as
if for a high jump and turned
round.
