NoveI.sts and Love.

"What do you think Of an old fellow
of IS having three fine women IN love
with him at the same timer
81 think it Is absurd"
"Well, l think so, too; but then you
and l, thank fortune, are young. And
when Henry James was young ne
agreed with us. When. In his youth,
Henry James was writing Daisy Miller
and The Portrait Of a Lady, he didn't
have his fine women falling in love with
some old grandfather, and he didn't
take old grandfathers for his heroes.
But he does so now. In his 'Ambassa-
doris there are three women in love
with the fascinating Strether, and two
Of them propose. Yet Strether IS 80.
James. YOU see, was little over 80
when he wrote that book, and he there
fore believed that man of that age
could inspire passionate love in wom-
ans heart.
"This Is a sad commentary on human
.nature-that we never grow too old to
think we can still love and be loved.
Writers unconsclously prove this COM
mentary. The older they grow the
older they make their fascinating
heroes. Marion Crawford and all the
old hands now write books wherein the
lady killers far and away the most sue
cessful are invariably 80 or so-that
is to say, about the authors own age"

killed. Both were bruised and badly
shaken up.
The back of the machine was STAYED
in and the engine was damaged. 1t took
four horses and twenty men with a
tackle and rope to pull it out of the

CHAPTER XIII.

Constable's mind was slow to inform
this great concept. The day had left be-
hind in his brain crowd of unassimilat-
ed acts, and into this dull, formless COM
pany swept the climacteric joy. Figura-
lively speaking, he had to grope about
until lantern and matches were brought
together, before be could adjust and meas
ure and proportion. He halted at last in
the empty street, seized the girl by her
shoulders, saying, as one would evoke
the heart out of miracle:

The huge fellow was lost in his laby-
rinth of happiness. The doubts that had
smothered her answer were lifted now,
and he heard his victory without breath
of its expression hampered. The shop
had vindicated her daring. With all the
eaSerness of trimming womanhood. which

The woman in the doorway spoke woods
warmed and vitalized from her very heart,

arms. Lara brushed past the two and
into the shop.

forward and touched his shoulder. He
stirred uneasily, muttered as if in pain,

her hand more heavily upon his soiled
coat
Eyes, yes-what is it?' he said in q
quick, frightened way.
The haggard face turned up to her. The
jaw dropped little. His eyes, though
fixed upon her own, seemed to have lost
their direction. He gained his feet slow
ly, clutching the table with his hands.
Il have come to go with you-to your
ship!" she declared brokenly.
"Breen, come here to me-" he called,
brushing his face roughly with his hand.

There was a moment in which Breen
and Constable stood close together. Lara

STEWART, Iowa, July 27,-TfR Re-
publican leaders of Congress were
roundly scored by William J. Bryan
here today in the course of an address
to several hundred persons assembled at
the station to greet him upon his ar
rival. Mr.. Bryan spoke from the rear
platform of his car. He said that he
had never believed everything depended
upon legislation, for, he said, there is q
sphere in which the individual, and be
alone, can determine his own property.
But legislation can advance or retard
progress and can help or harm condi-
tons. There were, he argued, many re-
forms that needed to be applied, and the
Democrats had the advantage Of being
able to use arguments that had been
made by reform Republicans in favor of
nearly all the principles Democrats ad-
vucated
