a degree, compensation therefor has
been provided and possession Is to be
regained when such compensation re
malnn unpaid.
"What is taken it the right to
use ons's property oppressively
and it is the destruction of the
right that is contemplated and
not the transfer thereof to the
public us. Tha taking is there- .
fore analagous to the abatemsnt
of a nuisance or to the eitablish
ment of building restrictions, and
is within the police power.
"Emergency laws In time of peace
are uncommon but not unknown.
Wholesale disaster, financial panic,
the aftermath of war, earthquake,
pestilence, famine and fire, a combi
nation of men or tno roroe or circum
stances may, as tho alternative of
confusion or chaos, demand tho en
actment of laws that -would be
thought arbltrar under normal con
ditions. Although emorgency cannot
become the source of power, and al
though the Constitution cannot ho
suspended in any complication or
peace or war, an, emergency may af
ford a reason for putting forth a
latent governmental power already
enjoyed but not previously exercised.
"Changing economic oonaiitous,
temporury or permanent, may make
necessary or benotlcial tba right of
public regulation. Housing In nor
mal times may bo and often 13 a
competitive business. Landlords may

over-supply bo unable to secure a
fair return on their Investments,
competition w.ll then regulate icnta
more euectlvcly man legislation can.
"An historical justification of lib
erty of contract between landlord and
tenant Is not a demonstration that
the system must survive every exig
ency, wnen it temporarily swwi w
ba adaDted to tha demands of the
nreeent i mav be modified. If the beat
interests of socUty are thereby
served.

"One class of landlords Is selected
for regulation because one class ron

nlacfls to sicca und cat. Those who
are out of possession, willing to p.ty
exorbitant rentals, or unablo to pay
any rentals whatever, novo uecn icu

"But such classifications deny to no'
one the equal protection of the laws.
The distinction between the groups la
real and res Us on a substantial basis.
The rule alike for State and Nation is
that nrlvate contract rights must

latter Is appropriately ueoiarcu anu

"I haven't come to apologize; you
don't need to think that."
"No," Varla answered In a very low
voice.
She had sunk down on the daven
port, and neither removed her bat nor
lier furs. She looked steadily across
at Nino.
"If you're going to wear that
martyr-at-the-stako sort of look, I
won't stand It!" Nina stood up, her
eyes flashing.
Varla dropped her eyes and traced
a pattern on her lap.
Of course, you think I'm every

Varla pulled down her lont? glove

membered what Sho had done with

Nina was watching ncr.

to see things as they were. How
could she blame John for loving this
passionate, luring woman ber own

so crystalline clear wnen comporeo
with the murky depths of Nina's per

i?he saw now that she had been
hoping ln vain hoping against rea-
son and common senso "w's
she should have faced the truth.
SHE loved Nina. Through It all
Nina's wildness, her moods, her tem
pershe still loved her.
The gray light deepened ln the
room and Varla put her hands over
her face. He onerea ner nia ouuer
friendship, his respect but sho knew
In that moment of discovery that she
would have given It all for Just one
tiny atom of the fire she had not
struck from him.
Her hands dropped away from her
face and touched a small, hard ob
ject ln the pocket ot her skirt.
Lifting It up curiously In the half
light, she saw that it was the tiny
statue of St. Joseph that Molly had
given her.
Her heart's desire! That was not
for her. A tear slid slowly down her
check and touched the metal figure.
Usually Varla was at caso with
Adam and could teaso him and laugn
with him; but to-night her voice was
uncertain when she answcml and sne
found she could not meet his Btcady

VarLa sat ud very straight, both

She nodded.
"A man can't tret to bo thirty-two

His pleasant voice was harah. He
had changed so palpably that Varla
felt It was another man sho was see
ing with this glimpse into ins heart.
"Something at tho back of my mind
all tho time. Every woman I met I
compared with you, sometimes un
consciously. I wasn't ln lovo with
you, Varia."
She gave a little sigh and relaxed
on her chair.
"Then you asked me to piay ine
game with you. wo never nau a
chance, did we? John wasn't hero
but I saw what was Happening, al
though you thought I was blind.
"If you'd whimpered and como to

been plucky, Varla. I'vo seen the
pain ln your eyes. I'vo heurd yon
laugh and I've known that tears were
not very far away. That's what got
me, Varla, Broko mo all up. I
couldn't stand it."
Adam stood up and walked ( 'r to
(he mantel and stood there silent for
a few minutes.
Vnrla was frightened. Sho felt
strained and unnatural, and at any
moment she expected to hear John's
key grate In tho lock.
"I never could bear to seo anything

God, Varla, I thought of you night
and morning! I tried to think of a

"You've found It?" sho asked with

you should go on like this when I'm
here. I can make you happy. Glvo

three lives througli prudery"
He was so fcig and so ccntle and so
kind!
His eyes looked down at her' like
the eyes of collie, faithful and full of
entreaty. She could not hurt him,
this man who wanted to help her.
"Adam, dear, you don't understand.
I couldn't"
"I wouldn t expect you to lovo me
the way I lovo you," ho said rfmply.
"but I'd look out for you, dearest"
his voice was 'hoarse and sho saw
the muscles In his checks working.
AVas this the rofuge after the
storm? Was this the pathway to
peace?
"I can't think now there's been
so much to-duy"
He picked up his hat and took
his gloves from tho tablo where he
had thrown them. Sho saw he
wanted to kiss her, sho rend his de
sire In the face so near her own. but
she pulled back and said sortly,
"Good night, Adam."
He cared moro for her than for
himself she could sec that For ho
did not touch her, but sold good
night as he went quickly down the
hall.
For a tlmo she stood with her eyes
on the rug at her feet, trying to find
some answer ln tho recesses of her
heart.

Just a few moments before she had

her warm heart, her Impulsive ten

younger sister. Varla loved her. She
loved her even now, after sho had
discovered Nina's last act of un
speakable selfishness. ,
'Til do something for her!" Nina
told herself.
She leaned forward and taiiped on
