, Lawyers to Aid
in Soldier Work
General O’Ryan Nantes Them
to Hear Complaints From
Disabled Veterans in
Nebraska.
President Edward P. Holmes of the
state bar association, at the request
of General P. O'Ryan, now counsel
to the federal senate committee in
vestigating government care of dis
abled soldiers, has named the follow
ing Nebraskans as assistants to the
general in this state:
Vincent C. Hascall of Omaha, J. W.
Kinsinger of Lincoln, Earl Meyer of
Alliance, George Munn of Ord. Frank
Warner of Norfolk, Robert M. Arm
strong of Auburn, and Harry Ellis
of Holdrege.
General O'Ryan states his position
in a letter from which this is taken:
“I cannot attempt to perform the
functions of the veterans bureau In
Washington, nor can I, acting for the
committee, assume the functions of a
board of appeal in cases where sol
diers are dissatisfied. I must, how
ever, cause to be jjivestlgated a large
number of complaints that might be
considered as characteristic, for the
purpose of judging the merits of com
plaints of each class.
“What I have in mind is to con
stitute a list of former officers who
are lawyers and who will serve In
f the manner indicated (without com
pensation) to hear the limited number

Claude Wheeler, living on a Nebraska
ranch with his parents and a younger
brother, Ralph, has to quit Temple col
lege. a small denominational school at
Lincoln, at end of his third year to take
care of the home place while his father,
Nat Wheeler, and Ralph spend most nf
their time on their Colorado ranch.
Claude's older brother, Hayllss, runs an
Implement store at Frankfort. While in
IJneoln Claude has become a close friend
of tlie Erlich family. Mrs. Erlich, a
motherly widow with five sons, having
made the shy boy feel at home <>n his
nnmerous visits. Claude and Ttayllss go
sleigh riding with Enid Koyce and
(•lady* Farmer. They drive past the
Trevor place, w hich Ray lie announces he
has bought. Claude takes Enid to Has
tings on a shopping trip. While there
they visit Rev. Arthur Weldon, one of
Claude's former professors.
(Continued from Yesterday.)
Mr. Weldon certainly bore no
malice, but always pronounced
Claude's name exactly like the word
"Clod,” which annoyed him. To be
sure, Enid pronounced his name in
the same way, but either Claude did
not notice this, or did not mind it
from her. He sank into a deep, dark
sofa, and sat with his driving cap on
his knee while Brother Weldon drew
a chair up to the one open window
of the dusky room and began to read
Carrie Royce's letters. Without be
ing asked to do so, he read them
aloud, and stopped to comment from
time to time. Claude observed with
disappointment that Enid drank in
all his platitudes Just as MrH.
Wheeler did. He had never looked
at Weldon so long before. The light
fell full on the young man's pear
shaped head and his thin, rippled
hair. What in the world could sensi
ble women like his mother and Enid
Royce find to admire in this purring,
white-necktied fellow? Enid's dark
eyes rested upon him with an ex
pression of profound respect. She
both looked at him and spoke to him
with more feeling than she ever
showed toward Claude.
"You see, Brother Weldon,” she
said earnestly. "I am not naturally
much drawn to people. I find it hard
to take the proper interest in the
church work at home. It seems as
if I had always been holding myself
in reserve for the foreign field,—by
not making personal ties, I mean. If
Gladys Farmer went to China, every
body would miss her. She could
never be replaced in the High school.
She has the kind of magnetism that
draws people to her. But I have al
ways been keeping myself free to
do what Carrie Is doing. There I
know- I could be of use."
Claude saw it was not easy for
Enid to talk like this. Her face
looked troubled, and her dark eye
brows came together In a sharp angle
as she tried to tell young man preach

er exactly what was going on In her
mind. He listened with hi* habitual,
smiling attention, smoothing the
paper of the folded letter pages and
murmuring "Yes, I understand. In
deed, Ml^s Enid?”
When she pressed him for advice,
he said It was not always easy to
know in what field one could be most
useful; perhaps tins very restraint
was giving her some spiritual disci
pline that she particularly needed.
He was careful not to commit him
self, not to advise anything uncondi
tionally. except prayer,
"I believe that all things are made
clear to us in prayer, Miss Enid.
Enid clasped her hands; her per
plexity made her features look
sharper. "But it is when I pray that
I feel this call the the strongest. It
seems as if a finger were pointing
me over there. Sometimes when I
ask for guidance in little things. I
get none, and only get the feeling
that my work lies far away, and that
for it, strength would be given me.
Until I take that road, Christ with
holds himself."
Mr. Weldon answered her in a
tone of relief, as if something obscure
had been made clear. "If that is
the case, Miss Enid. I think we need
have no anxiety. If the call recurs
to you In prayer, and It is your
Saviour's will, then we can be sure
that the way and the means will be
revealed. A passage from one of the
prophets occurs to me at this mo
ment; 'And behold a way shall be
opened up before thy feet; walk thou
in it.' W'e might say that this prom
ise was originally meant for Enid
Koyce! I believe God likes us to
appropriate passages of His word
personally." This last remark was
made playfully, as If It were a kind
of Christian Endeavour jest. He
rose and handed Enid hack the let
ters. Clearly, the interview was
over.
As Enid drew on her gloves she
told him that It had been a great
help to talk to him, and that he al
ways seemed to give her what she
needed. Claude wondered what it
was. He hadn't seen Weldon do
anything but retreat before her eager
questions. He, an "atheist." could
have given her stronger reinforce
ment,
Claude’s car stood under the maple
trees In front of Mrs. Gleason * house. '
Before they got into it, h" celled
Enid's attention to a mass of thunder
heads In the west.
"That looks to me like a *lorm. It
might be a wise thing to stay at
the hotel tonight."
"Oh. no! I digi t want to do that.
I haved't come prepared.”
He reminded her that is wouldn't
t«e Impossible to buy whatever she
might need for the night.
"I don't like to stay In a strange
place without my own things." she
said decidedly. "I’m afraid yre'll he
going straight into it. We may be in
for something pretty rough.—hut it’s
as you say." He still hesitated, with
his hand on the door.
"I think we'd better try it." she
said with quiet determination, Claude
had not yet learned that Enid al
ways opposed the unexpected, and
could not bear to have her plans
(hanged by people or circumstances.
Eor ati hour he drove at his best
speed, watching the clouds anxiously.
The table-land, from horizon to
horizon, was glowing in sunlight, and
the sky itself seemed only the more
brilliant for the mass of purple
vapours rolling in the west, with
bright edges, like new-cut lead. He
had made 50 odd miles when the air
suddenly grew cold, and in 10 min
utes the whole shining sky was blot
ted out. He sprang to the ground
and began to jack up his wheels. As
soon as a wheel left the earth, Enid
adjusted the chain. Claude told her
he had never got the chains on so
quickly before. He covered the
packages in the hack seat with an
oilcloth and drove forward to meet
the storm.
The rain swept over them in waves,
seemed to rise from the sod as well
as to fall from the clouds. They
made another five miles, ploughing
through puddles and sliding over
liquefied roads. Suddenly the heavy
car. chains and all, bounded up a two
foot bank, shot over the sod a dozen
j yards before the brake caught it,
then swung a half-circle and stood
still. Enid sat calm and motion
less.
Claude drew a long breath. “If
that had happened on a culvert, w«'d
be in the ditch with the car on top
of us. I simply can't control the
thing. The whole top soil Is loose,
and there's nothing to hold to. That's
Tommy Rice's place over there. We'd
better get him to take us in for
the night.”
"But that would be worse than the
hotel,” Erdd objected. "They are not
very clean people, and there are a
lot of children.”
"Better he crowded than dead.” he
murmured. "From liere on, it would
le a matter of lurk. We might land
anywhere,*'
"We are only nt>e>ilt 10 miles from
your place. 1 can stay with your
mother tonight."
"It’s too dangerous, Enid. I don’t i
like the responsibility. Your father
would blame me for taking such a
chance."
"I know, it’s on my account you're
nervous.” Enid spoke reasonably
enough. "Do you mind letting me
drive for awhile? There are only
three bad bills left, and T think 1
can slide them sideways; I've often
tried It."
Claude got out and let her slip into
his sent, but after she took the wheel
he put his hand on her arm. "Don't
do anything so foolish," he pleaded.
Enid smiled and shook her head.
She wag amiable, but inflexible.
He folded his arms. "Go on."
He was chafed by her stubbornness,
but he had to admire her resourceful- ,
ness in handling the car. At the bot
tom of one of the worst hills, was a
new cement culvert, overlaid with j
liquid mud. where there was nothing
for the chains to grip. The car slid
to the edge of the culvert and stopped
cn the very brink. While they were
ploughing up the other side of the,
hill, Enid remarked; "It's a good
thing your starter works well; a lit
tle jar would have thrown us over.”
