brakes, of panting cars, of arms
lifting her to tha sidewalk.
“Hurt?" a voice demanded.
“I’m all right, really I am. It
was my silly heel that threw me,”
she assured breathlessly, even as
she moved her knee experimental
ly. It worked. It wasn’t broken.
“Why wear such fool heels? If
you’re not hurt, why did you
wince?”
The man’s voice was husky; his
eyes had a third-degree intentness
which roused a little demon of op
position. Brooke retorted crisply:
“If you insist upon probing the
secrets of my young life, I think
I’ve skinned my knee.”
She thought the man spoke as
she merged in the stream of pass
ers-by. She passed the building to
which she had been hurrying to
keep an appointment when she
crossed the street. She wouldn’t go

she had too much pride to appear
there breathless and shaken. That
had been a narrow escape, not only
for her, but for the man who had
snatched her from the path of that
speeding car, and—horrible thought
hadn't even said “Thank
you!"
If only she knew who he was she
could writs to him. but he might

dow. She slipped behind one of the
hangings to shut off the electric light
in the room behind her. What a
view! Roots. Tiers of roofs alive
with pigeons. Patches of bright blue
broke up the pattern of gray clouds.
Weather vanes pointed to the north.
Innumerable wires etched gigantic
cobwebs against the sky. ■ Skylights
shone like sheets of molten brass as
they reflected the sun.
Her eyes lingered on the roofs.
Beneath them business units were
pitched together. Honesty and
fraud; virtue and. vice; ups and
downs; efficiency and stupidity; am
bition and lethargy; each unit mov
ing in its own orbit and each think
ing itself of supreme importance in
the complicated pattern of the busi
ness world. She had been buffeting
her way in it for five years.
“Miss Reyburn ought to be here,
Mark, but I suppose like the ma
jority of women she has no idea
of the value of a man’s time.”
The annoyed comment in the
room behind her snapped Brooke
out of her reflections. How like a
man to assume that she was at
fault. She would make a dramatic
entrance, and then—
“Glad she is late. I told you. Jed
that 1 didn't want to meet her. It
was a beau geste for her to offer
me half of the money, all of which

keep chenta in suspense? The sec

her into this room, had said that she
was expected, that the junior part

at liberty in a few moments.
Restlessly she crossed to the win-

the door closed, she would appear
and explain to Mr. Stewart why sha
had been at the window; meantime
she would be strictly honorable
and not listen. She stuffed her fin
gers into her ears.
At the same moment on the other
side of the hangings, Jed Stewart
was saying:

I’ll be off. I have a date.”
’’Don’t go, Mark. I asked Miss
Reyburn to come here this after
noon to tell her what financial ar
rangements have been made for
her, but principally to get you two
face to face so that we could
straighten out this mess about the
personal property in the house.”

T HE power which the Con
stitution vests In the courts
is called ’’the judicial power."
This means the power not
merely to decide controversies
but to decide them according
to the principles which judges
in English-speaking countries
have long been accustomed to
apply.
In the United States the same
courts have equal jurisdiction over
the highest officials of the nation,
the humblest citizens and every
body in between.
If an American citizen brings suit
against a government officer for an
injury done him, the defendant can
not plead his official position as a
ground for transferring the case to
some government-controlled court.
On the continent of Europe, how
ever, he would be able to do this;
because under the continental sys
tem there are two sets of courts:
ordinary courts for private citizens
and administrative courts for those
in the service of the state.
One set of courts for everybody,
with the Supreme court of the
United States as the court of final
appeal, is our guarantee that the
man without “pull” will get a
square deal.

Many persons have asserted that
there is a difference between the
attitude toward a citizen in an
American court and In a govern

Lake Bottom for Speedway
The speed laboratory of all motor-
dom, the mecca of speed enthu
siasts from every land, and the
probable testing ground for motor-
powered vehicles of the future, is
located on the dry salt bottom of
ancient Lake Bonneville, 125 miles
west of Salt Lake City. This great
level body of smooth, hard salt
formed by the drying of the ancient
lake is fifteen by thirty miles,
with an average depth of four feet.
The salt flats are as white and daz
zling under the noon-day sun as new
snow. The salt has the consistency
of ice and is almost as hard as
concrete. It crunches under tires
like snow, is 96 per cent pure and
