"I no longer doubt," he says. "I know now that there is nothing after death nothing to look forward to in joy or fear. I am not an agnostic any more; I am a materialist. There is no evidence under the sun of a super-natural power." pow-er." Darrow is not the first man to come to this gloomy conclusion. con-clusion. As long ago as Old Testament days, the writer of Ecclesiastes seems to have had somewhat the same notion. But just as this Old Testament scribe belied his own doubts by proving that the human spirit can transcend its fleshy limitations, so Darrow, too, in a different way, has left a record that makes his own materialism look hollow. Clarence Darrow has had a long and active ife, and a great deal of it has been filled with desperate, last-ditch battles for men less fortunate than himself. And when you have made all possible allowances for a keen lawyer's delight in the game itself, and for the incentive which high fees can provide, there remains something else which is not accounted for on any basis of strict materialism. For underneath everything else, Darrow has been moved by a rich human sympathy, an understanding of erring humanity, and a warm desire to take the side of the' man whom everybody is against which does not precisely jibe r with any philosophy of soulless mechanism. To try to look beyond the veil is a hopeless proceeding; and if a man cannot accept the assurances of religion, he must look for traces of a better' world than this, if he is to find them at all, in the hearts of his fellow men. There is something about this urge which comes to men like Darrow to take the part of men who cannot fight for themselves which can seem like the soundest of all evidences. This old warhorse, who has never been too tired to figh somebody else's battles, mav helpless pawn of chance, wandering under a starless sky. But somehow he hasn't acted like one. His deeds have been like the deeds of a man who has seen a gleam of light at the edge of the horizon and who. seeing it. has known that there is more to life than some of us suppose. He has built his life by a pattern that would be useless if his own despondent belief were true. His life is about finished, and his words are hopeless. But his life itself is the very stuff of which human hope is made. Relief For Congressmen Several bills are pending in Congress to remove the Post-office Post-office department from the field of party politics and give all jobs in the organization, from that of postmaster general on down to the postmastership in the smallest crossroads hamlet, ham-let, to the men best qualified to fill them rather than to party hacks. When you consider the matter, you wonder that congressmen con-gressmen don't pass one or another of these bills in sheer self-defense. Representative Ramspeck of Georgia, author of one of the bills, says that naming postmasters makes a congress - , 4-u f- i it i. j man more enemies than friends. He appoints one man and wins his friendship; he turns down a dozen or more and wins their enmity.

The reason why, as scientists pointed out, we could hear them was because the pitch was too high for human hu-man ears to catch. The hum ming bird, too. was held up as tiny creature starts to sing beautifully, beau-tifully, the notes rising higher and higher until the bird just .cits there with mouth open, apparently ap-parently singing, but the notes are not audible to human ears. It is singularly true that lew ears can detect vibrations of more than 15,000 a second. To- almost al-most all of us, sound becomes inaudible in-audible at 18,000 vibrations. But now scientists have proven that the world is full of sound that we never hear, that even the clasp of a hand in a handshake makes a shrill noise. Prof. George W. Pierce, Dr. Noyes and Miss Prouty, of the Cruft laboratory at Harvard university uni-versity have been listening to "inaudible" sound for some weeks. Professor Pierce has constructed a complex apparatus which now makes it possible to hear the notes of high-pitched insects distinctly, dis-tinctly, the number of vibrations counted. !

CHAPTER XXXII VICKY smiled from beneath the insolently slanting hat brim. She said, "How do you do. May we come in?" "Why why, yes," Gale said. Her eyes once again sought Brian's, Bri-an's, questioning, trying to hide the hurt that was in them. "Yes, do come in!" She stepped back and they entered en-tered the house. Brian said. "Gale, .this is Vicky Thatcher. Vicky Gale Henderson. I know you're going to like each other, going to be friends. Vicky's come to ask a favor of you, Gale." Vicky had turned and was surveying sur-veying the room. Gale, watching her, suddenly saw It all with this stranger's eyes the faded carpet, worn thread-bare before the door and in front of the .place wheTe her father's big chafr stood; the old-fashioned wall paper that should have been replaced long ago. Suddenly, she remembered herself her-self and said, "Won't you sit down?" "Thank you." Vicky dropped to the chair that was nearest, sat forward and gathered her coat about her. Gale. noticed the gesture, ges-ture, ever so slight and yet completely com-pletely aloof. "Vicky turned to the young mn and said, "Cigaret, Brian." He rose and held out the open case. He offered it to Gale, too, but she declined. A moment later he flicked a lighter and held the blaze for Vicky. Brian said, "Well, better tell Gale what you've come for The dark eyes with their unbelievably un-believably long fringes rose to his. "Please, Brian," Vicky said, "you put everything eo much better bet-ter than I do. You explain it." T3RIAN sat down, looking com-pletely com-pletely at ease. He said.. "It's like this. Gale. Vicky's, got an idea I think's a good one. She wants to . get acquainted with some of the people who work in the mill.

And what possible construction had she put on the situation? The thought made Gale uncomfortable, uncomforta-ble, just as the sight of Vicky in her furs and her audacious hat. sitting in that shabby room with her knees crossed and swinging one French-heeled foot made her uncomfortable. But Brian was waiting for her to say something. "I'll be glad to do anything I can," Gale said. She studied the other girl. Vicky didn't look to Gale like anyone who could be very helpful in the mill village. She couldn't imagine her bathing the Dinwiddies baby or sitting beside Grandpa Higgins, whose fondness for chewing tobacco was always evidenced by the spots on his shirt. Vicky didn't even look like a person who toanted to be helpful. T7ICKY was not looking at her. did not seem to be listening. She said, "Oh, Brian 1 must have left my purse in your carl" "I'll get it." he said, on his feet; "Be back in a moment." Vicky watched the door close behind him. She lifted her head slightly, smiled a sulky smile. "Brian's sweet, isn't he?" she said. Vicky nodded. "Everyone thinks so," she agreed. "And so good-looking, too. I don't sup pose I should tell you but I'm j going to. It's supposed to be an i absolute secret, and you must ' promise not to tell!" She hesitated. Gale sat watch- j ing her. She didn't know what j it was that had happened but ', suddenly she was afraid to move, j afraid to breathe. There was something fearful in the air. j The other girl went on. "It's ! fsupposed to be a secret." she said again, "but Tknow you'll keep it for us. Brian and I are going to be married!" Cold, cruel eyes watched the other girl. "I've even set the date of the wedding," Vicky went on, mercilessly. "That is, it's going go-ing to be in June some time. I think June weddings are much the nicest, don't you?" Gale's lips moved but no words came. She tried again and said, "Ob oh, yes." ; ?I don't suppose anyone will really be surprised about it," Vicky went on. "That is, our friends, I mean."

"Don't you think we'd better be going on now?" she said to Brian. "If you're ready." "Then I'll say good night." Vicky pulled her coat together, put out one of her hands and took Gale's. She said, sweetly, "I think you've been awfully nice about everything and I'm sure we're going to be great friends!" Gale's eyes avoided Brian. She said, "Good night" and heard the door close behind them. For an instant she stood, staring at the chair where Vicky had sat. There was a sound behind her and she turned. Brian stood in the doorway. door-way. He' said, "Gale, if I come back can I see you alone?" "Please " she said, "I wish you'd go away!" "But Gale ?"
