A Lady Unveiled,

She wakened In the morning to
some one knocking. She thought the
sound had been going on for long
time, but, now she was finally reused,
1t had stopped. This was odd, for no
one came to her In the morning ex.

be thus imperatively beset before she

And where, she asked herself in a
summing up, might such a man not

She felt Of the stone. She drew of
her glove and tried to look at 1t in the
dim light, but couldn't get CLEAN out
Of It. She was as impatient for the
lights to go up that she might secret

from the luncheon and make sure 1t
was still in the drawer. She must

might turn upon her at any moment

She held her left hand low in the
shadow Of her chair; and II. as the
lights went up again, there was any
change in the sapphire. 1t was merely

Kerr. 10 see II she couldn't startle him

She turned to him with the daring

from his reverie to meet It, but his
alacrity was mechanical. She felt
the smile he summoned was slow, as
II he returned, from long distance,

The intermezzo was playing, and to
speak under the music he leaned so
close his shoulder touched her chair.
Through that narrow space between
them, almost beneath his eyes, she
moved her hand-a gesture SO slightly
emphasized as to seem accident. He
had started to speak, but her motion
seemed to stop his tongue. He looked

For moment they looked at each

narrowed to glare under the terrible

she done?
She was as shaken as II he had
seized hold Of her. II he had snatched

making courteous response to some
invitation she had offered him; though.
when she thought, she had not offered
1t, he had got 1t out of her.
She answered somewhat stiflly:
Fridays. second and fourth"
He looked at her with humorous
twist OF mouth. What? So seldom?'
She was impotent If he wouldn't
be snubbed; but at the worst she
wouldn't be cornered. "Oh, dear. no
but people who come at other times
take chance"
Does that mean that may take
mine tomorrow"
He was pressing her too hard. Why
was he so anxious to see her. as he
had not been the first night or yester-
day, or even ten minutes ago? She,
who, ten minutes ago, would have
been glad, now was doing her best to
put him off. She was silent mo-
ment, considering the conventions, and
then, like him, she abandoned them.
Without word she turned away from
him. Her only desire now was to
evade him, lest he should force her
out of her non-committal attitude. She
wanted to shield herself from further
pursuit.
She drew her glove over the ring.
The lights were imminent. 1t would
be hard to hide the great flash Of the
jewel. And besides, she didn't trust it..
She couldn't tell In what direction it
might not strike out spark OF horror
next.
The rustic Of final departure was all
over the house. The people in the
box were stirring and beginning to
stand up; and Flora saw Kerr turn
and look at her. She wanted some
one to stand between herself and
Kerr, and 1t was to Harry that she
turned; not alone that he was so
large and adequate, but because she
thought she saw in him an inclination
to step into that very place where
she wanted him. She saw he was a

and stood waiting in the windy night

midnight noises Of the city were at

seemed to be a scattered chorus Of
hoarse voices yelling all together like
a pack of wolves. What was this fresh
quarry of the press. Flora wondered,
that made 1t give tongue so hideously?

THE MISSISSIPPI SENAToRSHIP.
The contest over the Mississippi SEN
atorship Is Of absorbing interest, which
being intensified by the rival candi-
dates, who have been indulging in some
rather tart criticisms Of each other.
Vardanan holds the lead and to dis
place him and defeat him has been and
is the ambition Of his opponents. It
would seem as if the fight is Vardaman
against the field.
1t may be true, according to the meas
urement Of his opponents, that Varda-
man is not the man who should repre-
sent Mississippi in the United States
Senate, an opinion which is not shared
by Vardaman and his supporters. Var
daman may be too radical and may be at
times sensational ii his utterances and
his manner, and possibly his methods
are not in accord with the views of the
conservatives who may be inclined to
plaudit and win the favors if not the
esteem Of Taft and the dominant Re
publican majority in control of the gov
errlrnent, but whatever be Vardaman's
shortcomings, if sent to the United
States Senate he will represent the peo-
PIE as loyal Mississippian and South
eril man, without any reason or cause
-Efor explanation Or apoiesy because he is
Mississippian and Southern man.
There is no rnistaking or nlisunder
standing where Vardaman stands on the
questions and the issues which are vital
to the South.
