Big Bill Haywood took advantage of his fame. He organized the I. W. W. "We are the roughneck gang," he said. When the War came he refused to fight...

...offend, and these were quietly deleted from the lives of Sam, her husband and from Flagg and Fern, her healthy twins. The picture of dancing satyrs, the little statue of Venus, the table wine, the Sunday rotogravures-one by one they mysteriously disappeared. Life began to be a queer, suspicious business. Fern was shipped away to school-she would not come back. Flagg overheard his parents quarreling viciously-he ran away. But Rex was pushed at last into young manhood...
