CHAPTER 5
READ THIS FIRST:
1 in a girl succeed in the big city
without paying the price? Can a
girl win success in business with-
out sacrificing her ideals her soul?
Is the modern working girl as mornl
and true as the girl in the home?
( ertamly the answers to these
que«*ions are interesting enough to
people of this modernistic age.
And the answers may he found in
this story of the restless love of
two g'rls—sisters—one of the citv
and one of the village. Hut it is
chiefly of the sisters who had drift-
to the hig city.
The scene of this story Is the vil-
lage of Ackland Center nestling be-
neath its protecting garment of elms
breathing yet of the past. Ackland
wa* proud of its past its traditions
and beauty. But the modern world
was fast crowding in on its peace.
A notorious roadhouse jszzland. was
opened up hv a gang. I.iquor flow-
ed. Girls of the town were lured
there. Young Ham Tew. editor of
the weeklv newspaper. ‘‘The Age”
was starting to fight this new mcm-
ancc. He was due for the higgest
fight of his life.
Stella Bagot had gone fo college
and then to New York to follow n
writing career. Her young sister.
Martha was kept at home. Martha's
mother said: “The home is the saf-
est place for a girl.” That after-
noon two collegiate looking men
driving a high-powered roadster had
stopped at the roanside stand of the
Bagots and made a date for that
night with Martha and her chum
Kitty Pew.
A strange voice calls Editor Pew
and warns him to stop fighting jazz-
land. Martha and Kitty go out on
the sly with two young fellows who
say their names are George and Jim.
Ham Pew and his good-looking
younger brother who assists in
editing ‘The Ackland Age." make
plans for continuing their fight
against Jaz/lnnd.

CHAPTER S
HOMER S pipe was out. He re-
nl'ed it. frowning r.ither wearily.
The steeple efock struck one.
\tt he »aiii “1 tnmk 1 »ee what |
you mean now. But you'll simply
hi.'f to forgive me. Ham if I find
it difficult to follow you all the way.
I haven’t seen as much as you. or
thought a* much. I don't "believe
I’ve worked out any such complete
philosophical synthesis as you ap-
parently have. Its rather bewilder-
ing. as a matter of fact.”
“Naturally. We've lived different i
lives. And I’m older and a tougher
thinker.” He grinned. “Have I an-:
swered your ouest'on?”
Well— the fact is—No you hav-
en't.”
"What more can I say"”
“What are you up to? You per
sonally. I'll confess that about all
I seem to get out of that very elo-
quent statement is that ahe world
has gone crazy and is attacking us
and that you. more or less single- :
handed are fighting hack. Fighting
the world.”
Ham laughed. "Sound* likkc ra-
ther a large order dosen't it?”
“Well- rather.”
“What I see in its is * definite
job. I make my fight right here.
Suppose I succeeded in educating
our good neighbors to the truth that
a well-planned zoning system might
curb the devastating growth of the
hot dog blight and save something
of the beauty of the cld town. Sun i
pose in a lot of ways little by lit-
tle. I can rouse the town to gather
up its rather battered self-respect
and fight back. Possibly even diag-
nose and localize some of the de-
moralizing ideas that are ereening
in with all the new stuff. Then
we’ve got something to show other
towns haven’t we? And something
that lies squarely within the pro-j
vince of good journalism. There's j
my major objective. The real bat-
tle line of civilization is here—’’he'
waved a bony hand toward the pie- ‘
rid green—“Here in Ackland. In |
every naturally decent little twon. i
My immediate local objective is sim-l
pie enough. To drive that rumrun-
ning gang out. bag erd baggoge.
God know* I’m no w holesale prohi-j
bitionist. I’ve too much respect for
indivedual taste and for civilized
living. But thj» hunch of crooks
has got to gc. The and their pre-
cious 4a*.*laod. Tonight. for the
first time 1 have the satisfaction i
of knowing that l.m getting home te
them later on I’ll have more in thr
nay of real evidence. So that if I
can't rouse the town with my edi-
torial broadsides I’ll go at it
through the grand jury. That’ll
make 'em sit up and do a little
thinking. Rilly Wykeham may not
be the deepest or widest intellect
in Massachusetts but he's a pretty
fair district attorney. And incident-
ally before I get through with it
I’m going to run cover certain nei-
ghbors of ours who seem to be find-
ing profit in surrendering to the
enemy. One sly fox in partirulad.
My God Homer it's quarter past
one! Come along home."
They drove through the qujet
treet in silence. Not a word. The
outburst was over. Homer wasn’t
sorry. He still found himself ra-
ther bewildered. Never before in
his twenty-five years bed he heard
his big brother sneak out from the
heort. He felt shv about it now
And touched with admiration.
Though his mind wearily questioned
those sweeping statements.
Ham drove the car around the
h<>i*>e and inte the garage. But then
instead of opening the door sal
brooding. Homer one leg out. yawn-
ed and waited. Something was com
irg.
“Homer" . . . this was it . . . “I’ve
been thinking. We may as well
make allowance for a natural dif-
enence in temperament. This thins
is. after all. my private fight. You
ve never had a voice in it. I’ve got
to go on. of cour«e. It's my life
now. really. The man of destiny.'
He shuckled reassuringly. “Rut dc
you know what I'd do if I were you!
fd clear out. For a time anyway
Ron down to New York and look
over the chances of breaking inte
the magazine business. Or rewspa
perr. You’re got some talent. You'r«
likable. Look up Stella Ragot. She
seems to be in touch with smart
'iterary life down there. You ought
to rub up on the big town anyway
Don t listen to me. Work out you:
own conclusions. Come back latei
if you choose to. Ther’s hardly
room for both of us on the Age
anyhow now that you're man-size.’

TO KEEP MEN HONEST
A surety company is always In-
; dined to ask more questions of an
employer than of an employe to be
Londed. Here are a few of the most
important questions they put to the
employer:
Whet salary will the applicant re-
ceive?
How much cash if any. will ba
! have in his custody at any one
| time?
If required to make depesita at
the bank how often?
Will he be authorised to sign
| checks?
To whom and how frequently'will
he account for his handling of funds
stock or securities?
What means will you use to ascer-
tain whether his accounts are cor-
rect?
How frequently will they be ex-
amined?
What will he the title of the ap-
plicant's position?
The whole plan you tee is to
learn if the man is going to roceive
a salary proportionate to his respon-
nihility and if there are sufficient
checks on him to discourage him
. _
.from being dishanest. even ffV
! were otherwise disposed to be. V
The last question at first
seems needless. H hat does it ''■I
ter you ask. what a man’s title il'
j so Ion* as he ia performing • eCr|
| tain kind of work? But here is *ufl
sometimes happens: A concern wnfl
seek to satisfy an underpaid eml
ploys largely by giving him a pr.I
tentious title rather than by s leB
him more money.
• • •
I knew a man one# who was w
in* ss a bookkeeper for $20 a *»«|
Ona day his company conferred up*
him the title of auditor and rat m
his pay to $22 a week. His dut^B
remained precisely the same.

important that she scarcely wsitfl

I It seemed as if they both from thB
J on. were intent upon raising thsl

the dignity of his new title. Nafl
urally they had much more ftnaH
