tics. Looking backward, can see that the
only reason was named was because it was
garded as a hopeless fight for my party and no
one else wanted the place. | did not realize
this at the time, and entered the campaign de
termined to win if could. Day and night for
several weeks travelled all over the district,
making speeches till l was physically exhausted
and my voice weak imitation OF bent

funds were scant. Almost before knew 1t
had spent every cent of my savings and all
was able to borrow on my notes, for printing
bills, hiring halls, for banners, and for hundred
and one things that seemed imperative.
Election night came, and with it a collapse
from the high tension at which had been
working. l sat alone in the inner office OF my
campaign headquarters, now entirely deserted
save for Office boy. Earlier in the evening
had been at the club where the leader of my
party was receiving the returns He had spoken
as if it was certainty that our whole ticket
was defeated and had intimated that his cam
paign fund was exhausted.
"' You made good fight in your district,
though he said to me, and l won't forget it. :
Small comfort this to me now, as
thought of the campaign bills of my own that

papers. l picked them up and tried to read !;
but the only thing could see was that they all
conceded my district to my opponent. In the
bitterness of my restitution cursed myself for
ever having permitted myself to be drawn into
politics.
In the street outside could hear the bands
of election revelers the footing of horns and the
party cries. The sound seemed to be getting
louder and louder. 1t seemed to me-but at
tributed it to an overweight brain-that could
hear my own name moved to the window and
from behind a curtain saw that the throng was
gathering in front of my office. 1t looked to me
like rubbing it in. There was no mistake about
it! They were shouting my name! | stood

When His Wife Came Back
THAT'S where you are wrong" said the Old
Married Man. You don't think about
happiness; you feel it. you know it. Now, l
had my happiest moment only this week. I've
a fair amount of business success. My first
baby happened to be girl-when l wanted a
boy and had name already picked out.
When my first boy was born we were too busy
fighting to save his mothers life to be happy
over him. I've lived, though, on the whole a
placid, happy, old fashioned sort of life, SO old
fashioned that in the twenty-odd years of my
married life my wife and | never have spent a
single day apart. When have had to go away
on business, somehow have always managed
to take her with me, and when it comes time
to go to the mountains or the seashore she
waits until | can go along.
So last week. for the first time in our mar
ried life, she had to 60 away and my business
would not permit my accompanying her. She
did not want to go; but she just had to. You'll
understand it when | say I've been grand
father since last Wednesday. She tried to
make me believe l would have lot of fun
knocking around evenings with the men l know,
and tried to make her believe it too. When l
saw her off on the train we both laughed and
joked about my taking week off.

behind the procession of homeless bachelors
and detached married men ever to catch up,
even if l wanted to. The piffling hours, the

and l went home. There / was surrounded
by all the old familiar household gods; the same
dear old books were on the shelves; the same
comfortable chair was there; the same we'll

a hitch about anything anywhere; yet learned
in wretchedness that home is in heart rather
than house. For a whole week l lived in

Jones and Lichtenstein were charged
with orally laying and publishing odds

Auerbaeh, counsel for Jones and Lich-

itself to a S20.000,000 building program
