30 Years
“For thirty years I had stubborn
constipation. Sometimes I did not go
for four or five days. I also had awful
gas bloating, headaches and pains in
the back. Adlerika helped right away.
Now I eat sausage, bananas, pie, any*
thing I want and never felt better. I
sleep soundly all night and enjoy life."

CHAPTER Xlll—Continued
— 26 —
She left him to look over the side
of the vessel. “They’re coming in
a stream now—hundreds of them,”
she said returning.
“I hadn’t realized until this
moment what a wrench it is to see
you both go.”
“I’ll miss you, too.”
A half dozen tourists from St.
Louis gathered beside them, oh-ed
and ah-ed at the river, pointed to
the ferry boats, to the tug which
was to take them out, then moved
on.
“You’ll be lonely, I’m afraid,
with your mother gone.”
“Oh, don’t worry about me. I
have my business.”
“Yes,” she mused, “men seem
content if they have that—busi
ness.”
He heard the deep blast of a
whistle, and a good-sized vessel,
brightly lighted, went down-stream.
“What was that?”
“Some sort of passenger boat.
Too small for an ocean liner.”
“Sailing at eleven,” repeated El
len. “It seemed a century away
this morning, yet here it is al
most upon us. Did you ever have
that feeling of waiting for a day
or an hour—half afraid it would not
come—because it means some
thing definite? Yet it comes and
is gone so quickly.”
He nodded. Numbly he felt that
there was something he wanted to
say, that Ellen might say, yet
they bandied these inanities back
and forth. The moments were
passing. He folded his arms on the
rail and stared at the gray water,
lighted by flickering gold. The con
suming passion he had had for
Dorrie sprayed its vitriol over his
mind. He didn’t have anything to
say. Nor did she. It was the pale
moon, the April night, the romance
of the river which stirred magic
impulses, whispered to his imagi
nation. It was the loneliness of El
len and himself which accounted
for it—a mood which would pass.
Ellen touched him. “Come, we
must go.”
Moving through the thronged
deck, they went back to the lounge.
“I’ll stay here a half hour while
you talk to your mother. Then it
will be time for you to get off.”
She came to the stateroom when
the bell rang for visitors ashore.
Fluvanna’s face, tear-wet, held a
soft radiance. Hugh kissed her
good-by. He extended his hand
to Ellen. Good-by—don’t forget
to write occasionally.”
“I won’t forget.” Unexpectedly
she kissed him with clinging
warmth.
Hugh stood stock still; a brief ex
alted emotion throbbed through
him. She shouldn’t have done that.
She really shouldn’t.
He turned to his mother again
and said mechanically, “You’ll ca
ble when you get there?”
“Darling, you’ve asked me that
four times!” protested Fluvanna.
“And I’ll write from the boat, and
also as soon as we are located in
Paris. You’ll be deluged with mail!
. And remember, a letter a
week from you! I’ll be miserable if
I don’t have at least a line or two
from my boy.”
“I’ll promise to send three lines.”
“Now get off or they’ll be pulling
up the gangplank.” She patted,
kissed him again, and pushed him
out of the door.
He stood on the pier, his limbs
oddly shaky, watching them at the
rail, Fluvanna and Ellen. His
mother did not look excited; she

was gently smiling. Mother was—
mystical looking; that was the
word! Ellen was trying to say
something to him; her lips formed
words he could not hear. He shook
his head. She tried again. The
ship was moving . . . sliding al
most imperceptibly. Ellen resorted
to gestures. ‘'You,” she motioned,
“Qver there!” She meant he would
be coming for them. He nodded
his head in assent.
Over there . . . But they were
leaving him! It came upon him
with a pang of desolation. There
would be an ocean between. Ellen
had kissed him. . . . The revela
tion was blinding . . . Ellen! Why
hadn’t he seen it before? Not mo
mentary impulse, but love direct
ing him. Ellen—he—their desti
nies intermingling. He saw it as

clearly as if a directing finger
pointed. And she did—she would
love him. Her kiss had told him.
Wait! . . Stop the ship! They
mustn’t go!
He struggled through the crowd
ing shoulders, hurried down the
pier to be opposite them again.
They watched him intently. He
formed the words “I love you” to
Ellen. She looked puzzled, shook
her head, put her hand behind her
ear. He tried again. “I love you.”
Joy broke over her face and he
could see the color sweep clear to
her brow. She turned to his moth
er. He could see her say, “He
says he loves me!”
Fluvanna nodded at him delight
edly. Why, Mother wanted this too!
Ellen’s eyes were on him; he
could see her mouth tremble. She
stretched out her arms. The boat
was moving faster. Once more she
gestured, this time more timidly.
“You—over there.” She threw him
a kiss.
He watched until the deck be
came a dark blur of figures as the
boat moved away from the lights
of the pier, swung into the river.
He would follow—no, he couldn’t.
But he would go in a few weeks.
Things were better. Go home; get
things in order; perhaps the last of
May—June . . He stumbled along
the wharf. At the street a plead
ing derelict asked him for a dime.
He put a dollar in his hand. While
he waited for a taxicab, he looked
up at the heavens. In the pow
dered sky, one star shone more
brightly than any of the others.
Bright star—steadfast and endur
ing.
THE END
THE COSTILLA rnIINTY DEMOCRAT
what Irvin
S.Cobb
Thinks about
The Origin of Sitdowns.
SANTA MONICA, CALIF.
With the Barnum show there
once was an elderly lady ele
phant named Helen. Now, Helen
had wearied of traipsing to and
fro in the land.
Probably she figured she'd seen
everything anyhow. So each fall,
when tile season
ended, she went
rejoicing back
home to Bridgeport,
Conn.
Nobody ever knew
the date of depar
ture the next spring.
There was no more
bustle about winter
quarters on that
morning than for
weeks past.
But always, when
the handlers en-
tered the "bull barn” to lead forth
the herd, they found Helen hun
kered down on her voluminous
haunches, which, under that vast
weight, spread out like cake batter
on a hot griddle. She would be
uttering shrill sobs of defiance. And
neither prodding nor honeyed words
could budge her.
So they’d wrap chains around her
and two of her mates would hitch
on and drag her bodily, she still on
her rubbery flanks, aboard a wait
ing car. She’d quit weeping then
and wipe her snout and accept what
fate sent her.
So please don’t come telling me
that the sit-down strike is a new
notion or that somebody in Europe
first thought it up. Thirty years ago
I saw my lady elephant friend, Hel
en, putting on one, all by her four

Taxes and More Taxes.
JUST when everybody is taking
comfort from the yodelled prom
ises of that happy optimist, Chair
man Harrison of the senate finance
committee, that the government
will be able to get by for 1937 with
out asking this congress to boost
taxes, what happens?
Why, in a most annoying way.
Governor Eccles of the federal re
serve board keeps proclaiming that,
to make treasury receipts come
anywhere near meeting treasury
disbursements throughout the year,
he’s afraid to be neces
sary to raise the rates on incomes
and profits hfeher than ever.
And meanwhile state governors
and civic authorities scream with
agony at the bare prospect of any
reductions in Uncle Sam’s allot
ments for local projects.
A balanced budget would seem to
be like Santa Claus, something
everybody talks about but nobody
ever expects to see.
• • •
Self-Determination.
FORMERLY the states jealously
r guarded their sovereign per
quisites. Once—but that was so
long ago many have almost forgot
ten it—they fought among them
selves one of the bloodiest civil wars
in history over the issue of states’
rights.
Now we see them complacently
surrendering to federal bureaus
those ancient privileges—and may
be, after all, that’s the proper thing
to do, if in centralized authority lies
the hope of preserving a republican
form of government.
Still, one wonders what English
men would do under like circum
stances, since Englishmen are fussy
about their inheritance of self-de
termination. Perhaps the distinc
tion is this:
In democracies there exists the
false theory that all men are born
free and equal. So the Englishman
insists on having his freedom, which
is a concrete thing, and laughs at
the idea of equality. Whereas, the
American abandons his individual
freedom provided he may cling to
the fetish of equality.
Yankee tweedledee and British
tweedledum may be brothers under
the skin, but they have different
skin diseases.

The Parole Racket.
TT IS astonishing but seemingly
1 true that, of five young gang
sters recently caught red-handed in
a criminal operation, not a single
one was a convict out on parole. Is
there no way to bar rank amateurs
from a profession calling for prior
experience and proper background?
And can it be that the various pa
role boards over the union are not
turning loose qualified practitioners
fast enough to keep up with the de
mand? Maybe we need self-open
ing jails.
Those sentimentalists who abhor
the idea that a chronic offender be
required to serve out his latest sen
tence should take steps right away
to correct this thing before it goes
too far. Our parole system must
be vindicated if it costs the lives
and property of ten times as many
Innocent citizens as at present.
