Anaheim, Calif., Oct. 17, 1929. SOULS FOR SALE by RUPERT HUGHES ILLUSTRATED BY DONALD RILEY FIFTH INSTALMENT What Happened Before Remember Steeddon, a pretty unsophisticated girl, is the daughter of a kindly but narrow-minded minister in a small mid-western town. Her father, Rev. Doctor Sladdon, violently opposed to what he considers "worldly" things, accepts motion pictures as the cause for much of the evil of the present day. Troubled with a cough, Remember goes to see Dr. Bretherick, an elderly physician, who is astonished at the plight in which he finds her. Pressed by the doctor, Remember admits her unfortunate affair with Elwood Farnaby, a poor boy, son of the town lot. As Remember and Dr. Bretherick discuss the problem a telephone message brings the news that Elwood has been killed in an accident. Dr. Bretherick accordingly persuades Remember to go West, her cough serving as a plausible excuse; to write home of meeting and marrying a pretended suitor—"Mr. Woodville"—and later to write her parents announcing her "husband's" death before the birth of her expected child. Unable alone to bear her secret, Remember goes to her mother with it. Her mother agrees with the plan of the doctor. Mem leaves town. On the train Mem accidently meets Tom Holby, movie star, traveling with Robina Teele, leading lady in the movies, who are the cynosure of all eyes. The train comes to an abrupt halt, a disaster having been narrowly avoided, and the passengers get out and walk about. At Tucson Mem meets Dr. Galbraith, a pastor who knows her father and publication. She felt the words and the anguish wringing her throat, and the tears came trooping from her eyes, ran shining into her mouth, and she swallowed them and found them bitter-sweet with an exultation of agony. Their was such wierd reality in her grief that the director's glasses were blurred with his own tears; the camera men were gulping hard. As her upward stare again encountered Tom Holby's eyes she saw that tears were dripping from his lashes and that his mouth was quivering. The sight of his tears sent through her a strange pang of triumphant sympathy, and she broke down sobbing, would have fallen to the sand, if Leva Lemaire had not caught her and drawn her into her arms, kissing her and whispering: "Wonderful! Wonderful!" She felt a hand on her arm and was drawn from Leva's arms into a man's. Her shoulders were squeezed hard by big hands and she heard a voice that identified her captor as the director. He was saying: "God bless you! That was the real stuff! You're a good girl! The real thing!" Then she began to laugh and choke, became an utter fool. This was her first experience of the passion of mimicry. She was as ashamed as glorified, as drained yet as exultant, as if a god had seized her and embraced her fiercely for a moment, then left her aching, an ember in the ashes. The director was already calling the mob to the next task. She could not help glancing toward Tom Holby. His camel was moving off with the crowd, but rolled over her shoulder ingots. A young Indian girl, cried stray pony about the sand Mem stumble, then fall; had thumped of the boly on cushion had run to the nearest hoop what she had seen. Mem home. The village doctor of his skill could do. Though she had never daunt him, he knew of her and knelt widow. When she was entuled to be talked to he prepared news. "Am I to be crippled for cry." "No," he sighed. "you will marks of your accent. It not—but your other hopes and tions—will not be realized." She was dazed and he was he had some difficulty in understanding his bad news would not be a mother. She bore this blow with that surprised him. And now Mem was weak begone, at the bottom of the She had never climbed very had fallen far enough to give and body an almost fatal rash was a drudge in a poor scorched settlement abandon that could get away.

On the train Mem accidently meets Tom Holby, movie star, traveling with Robina Teele, leading lady in the movies, who are the cynosure of all eyes. The train comes to an abrupt halt, a disaster having been narrowly avoided, and the passengers get out and walk about. At Tucson Mem meets Dr. Galbraith, a pastor who knows her father and takes an interest in her. She miscalls Tom Holby "Mr. Woodville" in order to make her fancied suitor more real. While the Galbraiths are away, she writes them as well as her parents that she has married "Mr. Woodville" and that they are to live in Yuma—for which place she buys a ticket. Mem decides to kill off her imaginary husband by saying he died of thirst in the desert; meanwhile she starts off for another town to get a job as a servant. On the way she runs into the movie company of Tom Holby. Tom insists that she become an extra, and is most cordial to her. She finds herself in the movie game. Now Go On With the Story Close-up of individuals were taken, the most striking types being selected and coached to express crises of feeling: "You go mad and babble, old man, will you? Tear at your throat and let your tongue hang out. You, miss, will you fall back in your mother's arms—you be mother, will you, miss, and catch her—you are to die, you know; Just roll your eyes back and sigh and sink into a heap And you, mother, wring your hands and beat your breast and wall You understand—Oriental stuff. eh? "And I'd like somebody just to look up to heaven and pray for mercy—somebody with big eyes—You, the young God bless you! That was the real stuff. You're a good girl." She found a place as maid in the home of a storekeeper at such wages as he could afford. She began the sordid routine of her tasks, but, contrasting them with the glamour of playing tragic roles, she felt herself entombed. Then the summer heat began and grew so fierce that her employer and his family went to the seashore. She spent much thought upon the letter home that she had not yet written, that she must write if ever she were to go home again. The whole purpose of this long, long journey into loneliness was to be able to write that letter; and it had not yet gone. Every time she made the beginning her hands filmed from the lying pen. But one night in a frantic fit of histrionic enthusiasm she dashed off her fable, sealed it in an envelope, and dropped it after dark in the mail box. The CONQUEST OF ALEXANDRA Louis Loucheur, acting his French delegation to the Leauses assembly, has proposed League undertake to ration coal and sugar among the Coal and sugar, he said, are to which every nation is entitled less of where nature happens coal fields and sugar bearing.

"You go mad and babble, old man, will you? Tear at your throat and let your tongue hang out.

"And I'd like somebody just to look up to heaven and pray for mercy—somebody with big eyes—You, the young lady over there—will you step out? Oh, it's Mrs. Woodville, isn't it? I met you this morning. Here's your chance. Do this for me like a good girl, and give yourself to it. Look up to heaven; if the sun brings tears to your eyes all right, but let them come from your soul, dear, if you can. You see, you have seen your people dying like files about you from famine and hardship. You look up and say, O God, you don't mean for us to die in this useless torture, do you, dear God? Take my life and let these others live. Won't you, dear God?" Mem stood throbbing from head to foot with embarrassment and with a strange intrush of allen moods. The fierce eyes of the director burning through his dark glasses, the curious instigation in his voice, the plea to do well for him, quickened her magically. Folger took her by the arm and murmured: "Now, dear, let your heart break! Look round and see your dying people. That's your father over there just gasping his life out. Your mother lies dead back there; you've covered her poor little body with sand to keep the jackals from it. Can you do it? Will you? That's right. Look round now and let yourself go!" She felt herself bewitched, benumbed, yet mystically alive to a thousand tragedies. Her eyes rolled around the starling throng, and made out Tom Holby gazing down at her from his camel and pouring sympathy from his own soul into hers. Then she flung her head from side to side in a torment of woe, cast her head back, and heaved her big eyes up to the cruel brazier of the skies, seemed to see God peering down upon the little multitude, and moved her lips in super Then the summer heat began and grew so fierce that her employer and his family went to the seashore. She spent much thought upon the letter home that she had not yet written, that she must write if ever she were to go home again. The whole purpose of this long, long journey into loneliness was to be able to write that letter; and it had not yet gone. Every time she made the beginning her hands filmed from the lying pen. But one night in a frantic fit of histrionic enthusiasm she dashed off her fable, sealed it in an envelope, and dropped it after dark in the mail box. Darling Mamma and Papa:— How can I write the terrible news? I can hardly bear to think of it, let alone write about it. But my darling husband passed away in the desert. I cannot write you the particulars now, for I am too agitated and grief stricken and I do not want to harrow you with details. I know your poor hearts will ache for me, but I beg of you not to feel it too deeply, because I am trying to be brave. And I remember that you taught me that the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. I cannot-write you more now. I am in no need of money and I will come home when I get a little stronger. All the love in the world from Your loving Mem. After she had slipped the letter irrevocably into the mail box she realized that the postmark of Palm Springs would be stamped on the envelope. Her place of concealment would be disclosed. Still it would not matter. She was a widow now in the minds of her people and she could go back to them and face the future in calm. The mountains had a beacoming look always, and on this afternoon, when a clouded sky gave a little shelter from the sun, she set out to obey an impulse to climb as far as her strength would take her. The exertion of climbing was more than Mem had bargained for. The steeps that looked so inviting from a distance were ragged and forbidding. The burnt-almond mountains were hot and sharp-edged gridirons to her feet. The sun came blazing forth and seemed to spill upon her a yellow hot mass of metal that slashed her about the head. League undertake to ration coal and sugar among the Coal and sugar, he said, are less of where nature happens coal fields and sugar bearing. The suggestion is of particle ent to Americans.

Loucheur is creep being the wealthiest man in His opinions carry weight in pean assembly. It cannot be that his views are wide throughout Europe. In league circles they are dehationalizing wealth in creep as in natural resources.

The bank would fund its any country found by it to the victim of aggression. States which has become the most important pool of creep thereby become the principal league's champion in the end war. It is significant proposal was not laughed at assembly, but will be discussed next year. Meanwhile the bank organized and American men enlisted in founding it. This may be expected to die only if and the league are divorced. In all these schemes for control of wealth the United States nothing to gain and its high living to lose. The effort United States into the leav motivated by a desire to advance of the United States in international quarrels, as is presumed by league and countries in this country.

A stone rolled under her foot and shook her from her balance. She wavered, clutched at nothing, whirled, struck, bounded from the hard rock, fell and fell, and then—a smashing blow, blackness, silence. A young Indian girl, chasing het stray pony about the sand, had seen Mem stumble, then fall; had heard the thump of the body on cushioning sand; had run to the nearest house and told what she had seen. Mem was taken home. The village doctor did all that his skill could do. Though she had never dared visit him, he knew of her and knew her as a widow. When she was strong enough to be talked to he prepared her for bad news. "Am I to be crippled for life?" shecried. "No," he sighed, "you will bear no marks of your accident. But you will not—but your other hopes and expectations—will not be realized." She was dazed and he was timid, and he had some difficulty in making her understand his bad news; that she would not be a mother. She bore this blow with a fortitude that surprised him. And now Mem was weak and woof-gone, at the bottom of the cliff of life. She had never climbed very far, but she had fallen far enough to give both soul and body an almost fatal shock. She was a drudge in a poor family in a corroded settlement abandoned by all that could get away. The only inferiors she could see were County Home Rule Taken by State Many Local Functions Being Administered by the Commonwealth Is Orange county, along with the 57 other counties of the state, eventually doomed to pass out of existence as a political subdivision of California? This question, alarming though it may seem at first reading, is actually receiving serious discussion in Sacramento, as dozens of new laws become effective, taking away functions of counties and centralizing them in the state government. Take the newly organizezd state highway patrol for example. None will deny that it is more efficient than the old double-headed system of joint state-county control. But it shows the trend of the times. When the remedy was applied it was the state which took over the patrol, not the counties. The state judicial council, created in 1927, supervises every superior judge in California, moving him from place to place "ad lib." As a result, every judge is a circuit judge, and many serve at home less than one-fourth of the time. Every elective county office now comes in for a share of state supervision. The sheriff must submit to having his county jail inspected and brought up to standards. He must keep elaborate records and reports for the state. If he has a tough crime problem to solve, state detectives step in to help him. An intercommunicating system of teletype machines, established by the state, will aid counties in hunting down criminals. The last state tax commission recommended that the state board of equalization be abolished, and replaced by a permanent professional tax commission of three, appointed by the governor, to evaluate real estate of public utilities for return to counties. Of great significance was the recommendation that the commission superviso and assist sections through the firm selling in only section. Legitimate real estate dealers of Anaheim need have no fear of the state real estate division as long as they stay away from "wild cat" propositions. But the division will spare no one whom they find mulletting the public of money on fraudulent sales. This is the statement of Deputy Real Estate Commissioner T. A. Kelly, following complaints that the division has been issuing unfavorable publicity on worthy projects. "Honest realtors have nothing to fear from us," he said, "but we are relentless pursuing the high pressure firms that broadcast glittering promises of wealth that cannot be backed with facts. "We always advise prospective purchasers to carefully examine what they are about to buy. The division protects the public as much as possible, but the public must safeguard themselves too." "The complaint has been made that in some cases, through certain unfavorable publicity, we have injured wnole will check on county governments of other states, and report to the legislature in 1931.

She had never climbed very far, but she had fallen far enough to give both soul and body an almost fatal shock. She was a drudge in a poor family in a scorched settlement abandoned by all that could get away. The only inferiors she could see were a young widow named Dack and her five-year-old boy, Terry. Mrs. Dack took in washing. The boy Terry was of the Ariel breed. His fancy girdled the earth in forty minutes. He mimicked birds and animals and often covered his mother with terror and amused chagrin by imitating other clients with uncanny skill. Once the child caught cold—in all that heat!—and Meme sat by his bedside through several smothering nights, while the back-broken mother slept. Mem exercised her skill in making up little dramas to while away the tedium of the long nights and to keep the wakeful child's mind from his cough. During his illness Mem received a letter from Leva Lemaire, saying that she had just seen in an old paper a maragraph describing Mrs. Woodville's fall from the mountain and her miraculous escape from death. Leva expressed her utmost sympathy and proved that her beauty had not been marred. She added: "But if it has, you can still find something to do in the movies. I've given up trying to be an actress and taken a position in the laboratory protection room, correcting the films. It's cool and dark and interesting. I think can get you a place, if you'll come up. There's no excuse for a woman of your education and charm wasting your sweetness on the desert air. Do come! I've sent my three children out to their uncle's ranch. You could live here with me and my friends." The thought of working in the dark and the cool was a hint of Paradise to them. Continued next week.

John Madigan, killed during the Modoc Indian campaigns of 1867, is being erected near Alturas. The lieutenant was one of the heroes of a battle waged by General George Crook. Leading a forlorn hope charge on a strongly fortified band of Indians in a series of caves at Crook's Canyon, Madigan was shot down at the head of his troops. For his conspicuous gallantry in this battle, Lieutenant Madigan was decorated posthumously by Congress. It is said that Chicago will have seven and a half million population within twenty years. That is, of course, providing that the gunmen don't get too active. Prof. Taussig deplores any higher tariff schedules lest they may cause irritation in Europe. The average friend of free trade is more concerned with what effect free trade might have on the people of the United States.
