II New York presents u candidate
for the presidency to the Republican
national convention 1t won't be Gov.
Hughes, but Elihm Root. That fact
may account for the activity recently
displayed by the national almlnistra-
tlon in New York politics. Roosevelt
nominated Hughes for governor and
he stands by Hughes administration

point. That point is where Hughes
becomes Il presidential quantity.
There was n time when Roosevelt

The RETUR N
BY GRACE BRuToN

1t was quiet in the studio. Outside,
in the November twilight, the wind
and rain beat and walled in pathetic
harmony with the occasion. Within
no sound broke the silence save an
occasional sob.
Buried to-day! Buried to-day!"
This was the burden to which John
Gray's heart was breaking. And yet,
oddly, he could not think of Anita de
Lee as buried. To his eager memory
she was so alert, so vital, SO sweetly
full of life.
They were to have been married at
Christmas. The world had not known
it. The sternly affectionate old father
who had borne her to Europe at the
first hint of love stronger than his
own had said mol" to the bare idea,
but Anita had smiled encouragement
at her lover.

decided, "and try to help him to a

back it will be your turn, and we've so

A tap at the door startled him to
sudden action. All day he had kept
lonely vigil, refusing to answer any
summons; now he could have sworn
it was their oft used signal. He flung
the locked door open, but, of course
the bright hall was empty. Yet when
he returned to the sofa there she was

chair, smiling at him in the old, &C.
