BaiIey's Retirement

United States Senator Joseph W.
Bailey has announced his retirement
from public life. He was once a demo-
crat, powerful with his own party. and
feared by the foes of democracy Keen
of mind, brilliant in wit potential as
an orator. resourceful as a debater,
and with 4 presence and personality
at once commanding respect and riv-
citing attention, United States Senator
Bailey has been, as a senator, and is
today, a most remarkable man. Had
all his powers been directed to pa
triotic service Of his party, there is
little doubt that he would not have
stopped short of the presidential chair.
Perverse TO the extreme, gradually
working himself out of harmony with
his party. and showing q growing in
cnnation TO serve special rather than
public interests, Mr.. Bailey was soon
at war with other democratic leaders
He was inIoierant of the views of 9TH
ers. and surrendered his usefulness as
a democratic Official by throwing his
influence into the balance with inteE

politely. Il must run in now. She
would scold If she knew had talked
SO long with a stranger. But it's
awfully dull here. That is my only
excuse" She moved slowly away and
nodded a friendly farewell.
The door of the library was ajar, and
Pauline pushed it gently open and
peeped inside.
Seated at a fat desk was Ruth
Greye. In the subdued light of the
dimly lighted room she looked like a
marble statue. Her gown was white.
and above it her white throat arose in
stately column to support her beau
tiful head Her face was lovely in
spite of it's pallor and crowned with
soft masses of prematurely whitened
hair Her brows formed straight black

eyes were dropped over the desk, One
white hand glided smoothly across the
paper as she wrote.
Pauline watched her with admira-
ton in her eyes. What could have
been the sorrow that had taken all the
light from her aunt's face and left it
a beautiful mask Of woe?
Miss Greye looked up and caught the
girls admiring gaze. A faint pink
tineed her cheek and then faded. She
wiped her pen ana placed 1t on GRe

folio and arose to her stately height
Pauline" she said in her slow con-
tralto, II have instructed James to-

aunt haughtily. THAT should be rea-

that the owners of the house next door

81 am sorry," said Pauline calmly.
'but have been talking with the son,
Paul Graham"

quickly.
In a few words Pauline related the
incident which had led to her ecQuaint-
ance with young Graham. HE said

Pauline hummed q tune under her
breath as she tied the ribbons Of her
little white shoes and reached for her
tennis racket. With a swing of snowy
linen skirts she tripped down the stairs
and out into the golden California sun
shine.
Playing tennis by oneself is never
an entertaining pastime. but it Is
good exercise, and when one lives with
a beautiful but melancholy maiden
aunt on a retired country estate even
daily gymnastics can border on the
widest excitement.
Paulne's method consisted in serv-
ing one or more balls across the net
and then dashing around into the op-
posite court and returning the serv-
ice with lightning rapidity and again
darling back to return the stroke.
Pauline fitted back and forth with
pink cheeks and shining eyes. Her loos-
ened hair fell in two long braids below
her slender waist, and under her
breath she hummed the happy little
tune broken by painting breath.
Once her strong young arm sent the
Cherokee roses into the grounds of the
adjoining estate, and it was returned
to her with such surprising swiftness
that Involuntary she sent it back
again with cry of triumph.
Again it returned, and once more
Pauline sent it flying over the hedge.
There was a sharp exclamation, soft
steps on the turf, and then over the
dividing wall of roses appeared
shock of sun bleached hair, a pair Of
good gray eyes and a handsome tan
ned countenance.
Knocked me out there, little girl"
grinned the young man, holding out
the ball.
PauIines hands few to her long
braids and wound them in their accus-
toned coronet. Even then she did not
look day over fifteen, while she was
really twenty-five.

stranger, his grin fading away. az
