story of the decline of the Hastings

you to consider that this whole
town depends directly on us for
their bread and butter. I’m not even
going to remind you that I’ve given
my whole life to building this com

fifth greatest corporation in Amer
ica. Never mind all that! The point
is if any of you’ve got any sense
of duty left—any guts—you won’t
let me down now!" Her voioe rose.
“I'm fighting this thing out to the
end, and I’m asking you to help!
Well, there it is. I’ll give you time
to think it over Call me I’ll be in
the next office.”
She tunned and left the room
Outside the yards, Devlin was go
ing full-speed "They’re all up there,
deciding your future — and you
don’t even get a look-in. Are you
going to let ’em put something over
on you without a squawk?”
The answer from the crowd was
obvious. “No! Send up a delega
tion!”
Mary returned to the Board room
to hear the answers of her family
She could read the reply in their
averted gazes. They were going to
refuse to help! Mary sighed — she
should have expected this from —
froav — she couldn't finish.
But now Devlin and his delega

Burrough’s advice. Willard admitted

survive!” His voice rose dramati
cally, but Devlin was unimpressed.
“That may be very swell, Mr Hast

came to find out”

I “w-hat Is It?” Speak up! We’re

Burroughs stepped forward, his
tone earnest as he spoke “Take it

"Oh. no?” snaped Willard “Don’t
tell me what to do! Did you hear
him threaten us?” He picked up
the phone “Operator, this is Mr.
Willard Hastings Get me the Chief
of Police.”
Willard’s phone call might have
been the festering point of the
trouble that followed. Police were
on the trail of Jim Devlin.
Unrest flowed like a sluggish
stream beneath the outward seren
ity of the Hastings family Mary
Hastings imprisoned herself in her
room, refusing to see anyone, whil*
the rest of the clan, expecting Jean
and Alex, waited downstairs for
some word from the old lady The
tension and pressure were too great
for Jean and her brother They rode
to a small inn in the village and
proceeded to drink with a consis
tency born of consistent drinking.
Jean, however, was a better imbiber
than Alex. Her volte was not thick,
nor her eyes glazed, She stared
about at the cheap surroundings
with mild irony
“Nice place we found to spend
the evening!"
Alex grunted. “Any place is bet
ter than the old homestead with
those slugs In possession!"
At another table eat Jim Devlin,
Sarah, Njordstrom and a few of
Devlin's satellites. They watched
Jean and Alex with some suspicion.
“Pretty picture of our best people
at play." said Sarah.
Devlin frowned. “She shouldn't
have come here."
At that moment. Alex, with more
than he could hold, toppled from his
seat, unconscious. Jean jumped to
her feet and tried vainly to lift the
inert form. But Alex was too heavy
It was impossible She summoned
the waiter for assistance.
The waiter eyed the scene disin
terestedly "Sorry lady my party's
waitin’ for their drinks ” He walked
away
Jean turned back to Alex slap
ping his face in an endeavor to
arouse him. No use Everybody in
the place watched with malicious
enjoyment It wasn’t often they saw
the Hastings humiliated There was
a sudden buzz from the crowd as
Devlin stood and faced Jean
"Where you going?’ snapped
Sarah
Devlin didn't answer Without
turning he walked quickly towards
the Hastings table Sarah rose to
follow but Njordstrom grabbed her
arm.
“Keep out of it!’
She slapped his hand away, but
remained in her seat, glaring.

Leaving Samaria, we drove back

days before. We stopped only
ong enough 'to make a picture of

we dismissed Mr. Antone, who had
een our guide and constant com
anion since we had aligned from
the train at Lydda early on the
uorning of March 3rd. We were
10w to be “ on our own ” for tbe
remainder of our visit in Pales
ine ’ this time we had be '
ome sufficiently acquain.ed that
we felt we were equal to the task,
n fact we felt that it would not
only be interesting to make our
wn way without a guide, but edu
ational as well. Accordingly
I ,ve bade Mr - Antone a fond fare

i ,ne could want in a guide.
'■ ' as courteous, intelligent, obliging
and efficient in every way. We
issured him that it would be our

passage to America, We had
purchased a round-trip ticket on
the Italian Line, and had arranged
to return on the Cernti de Savoia—

its second trip, Rut all the
over we had heard persistent rum

rumor was confirmed, and we
were laced with the alternative of
cutting our trip two weeks short,
or extending it two weeks longer
than we had planned, as 'the Ital
ian boats sailed at intervals of
two w'eeks. The latter we dared
not do, ,-ince we did not want to
extend , our stay . longer than our
leave of absence, and on the other
hand we could not stand the
.hought , , of , curtailing the trip
which we had planned for the
full 'time and which we would
probably never have the opportun
ity of repeating. We had finally
decided, however, that in fairness
to our people we had better deny
ourselves rather than presume up
on their patience, and accordingly
we made reservations on the Ital
ian Liner, Rex, which would get
us back to New York two weeks
ahead of schedule. But the more
I thought of losing two weeks from
our crip the lee it appealed to
rae ’ At last disappointment
became vocal, and I found that my
:ravelin ® companions felt just as
I did about the mar ter. Then
we got busy. We went to the
office of the Italian Line in Jeru
salem and explained the situation
i o them, and asked if our tickets
might not be transferred to the
Cunard line which had a boat sail
ing at the time we had originally
planned to leave Palestine on our
return trip. The agent exp'ain
ed that our reservations on the
Rex had been wired to Italy at
the expense of the Italian Line,
and if further changes were made
it would be necessary for us to
pay for another telegram which
would be about two pounds or ten
dollars in American money, The
agent of the Cunard Line thought
the exchange could be made, and
accordingly, we paid for the 'tele
gram, and charged it to tuition in
the school of experience. All this
had happened before we had left
| on our trip te Syria, and it was m
the winding up of these details
that we gave our attention
day we returned to Jerusalem. The
transfer had been accomplished
and now it remained for us to
make reservations on ‘the
tania. This we could do at
rusalem, taking our choice of the
unassigned staterooms which had
been alloted to the Jerusalem of
fice. Finally our reservations
were made and our tickets issued
for the Aquitania. And we were
as happy as school children on

the la.-t day of school that it was
not going to be necessary to cut
our visit short.
On the morning of March 15th
we started out on our first day
without a guide, We chose for
this day a visit to itlie Mount of
Olives, because we had been there
iheiore and felt that we knew
way. We started out afoo*t, but
decided we would go the automo
bile road because we knew that
way better, This road took us
by the Jerusalem War Cemetery,
and this was our first step, As
the name implies this is a military
cemetery. Here about three thou
sand British soldiers lie buried.
These brave men were sacrificed
on the altar of the god of war.
Nearby in the Valley of Hinnom
the heathen and apostate peoples
i* 1 U4P long aigo offered up human
sacrifices upon the altars of their
heathen gods. And perhaps there
was some excuse for these in their
ignorance and darkness. But
what excuse can there be for
civilized people, who, living in the
of nineteen centuries of the
teachings of the Prince of
offer up their sons as sacrifices
t0 tbe heathen god, Mars?
The cemetery itself is a beauti
ful place and is kept wivh scrupu
lous care. The graves were cov
ered with green grass, and the
walkways were lined with
ing flowers and trees. In
center is a beautiful white
which towers high into che air.
This cross symbolizes Christianity,
and proclaims to the Moslem world
that the soldiers who lie buried
there are represents ives of a
Christian nation, But if that na
