Tariff.

We reaffirm our belief in a protec-
tive tariff. The Republican tariff
policy has been of the greatest bene-
fit to the country in developing its
resources, diversifying its industries,
protecting workmen against the COM
petition of cheap labor abroad and
thus establishing for American wage
n the American standard of
living. The protective tariff is so
woven into the fabric of our indus
trial and agricultural life that to sub
stitute tariff for revenue only would
destroy many of our industries and
throw millions of our people out o
employment. A readjustment should
be made from American industries.
To accomplish this correct informa-
tion is indispensable. This informa-
ton can best be obtained by an ex-
pert commission such as was contain
ed in the recent report of tariff
board. We condemn the Democratic
party for its failure to provide funds
for the continuance of this board or
make other provisions for securing
the information necessary for intelli-
gent tariff legislation.
Banking.
Banking arrangements need fur
Their revision to meet the requirements
of current conditions. We need
measures which will prevent the re-
currence of SO many panics and
which will promote the prosperity
and business welfare of laboring
people by producing constant employ
ment. We need better currency ia
%cilities for the movement of crops
west and south.
Conservation.
We rejoice in the success of the
distinctive Republican policy of con-
servation of our national resources
for their use by the people without
waste and without monopoly. We
pledge ourselves to a continuance of
such policy.
Merchant Marine.
We believe one of the country's
most urgent needs is a revived mer-
chant marine. There should be
American ships and plenty of them
to make use of the great American
i~nter-oceanic canal now nearing

In throwing a casual smile across the
top of the paper.
Marjorie studied his motley garD.
and her own, and groaned:
We're a sweet looking pair. arent
we?"
Mr.. and Miss Fit" said Mallory,
from behind the paper.
"Oh, Harry, has your love grown
cold?" she pleaded.
Marjorie, how can you think such
a thing" still from behind the paper.
We'll. Mrs Wellington said we
ought to have some place to spoon,
end she went away and left US, and
there you stand-and-"
This pierced even the baseball
news, and he threw his arms around
her with glow of devotion.
She snuggled closer, and cooed:
Aren't we having nice long engage
ment? We've travelled a million
miles, and the preacher isn't in sight

Mo- was reading about the most
wonderful exhibition. Matte was IN

"Mattie?" Marjorie gasped uneas-
lily.
Mattel" he raved. land In perfect

And now the hidden serpent OF jeal-
ousy, which promised to enliven their
future, lifted It's head for the first
time, and Mallory caught his first
glimpse OF an unsupported member
OF their household. Marjorie demand
ed with an ominous chill:
And who's Matter. Some former
sweetheart OF yours"
My dear" laughed Mallory.
But Marjorie was up and away,
with apt temper: so Matte was in
the box, was she? What Is 1t to you,
where she sits? You dare to read
about her and rave over her perfect
form, while you neglect your wife-or
your-oh, what am l. anyway"
Mallory stared at her in amaze
ment. He was beginning to learn
what ignorant heather women are
concerning SO many Of the gods and
demi-gods of mankind. Then, with a
tenderness he might not always show.
he threw the paper down and took
her In his arms: You poor child.
Matte is mana pitcher-and you're
the only woman | ever loved-and
you are liable to be my wife any

The explanation was sufficient, and
she crawled into the shelter of his
arm with little noises that served for
apology, forgiveness and reconcilia-
ton. Then he made the mistake OF
mentioning the sickening topic OF de-
ferred hope:
"A minister's sure to get on at the
next stop-or the next"
Marjorie's nerves were frayed by
too much enduring, and 1T took only q
word to set them jangling: III you

way, and shrek of understanding
burst from her. 1t sent the porter
into spasm of yah-yahs till he
caught Ashton's eyes and saw murder
in them. The porter fed to the plat
form and held the door fast, expect
ing to be lynched.
But Ashton dashed away in search
Of concealment and soap.
The porter remained on the plat.
form for some time, planning to leap
overheard and take his chances rather
than fall into Ashton's hands, but at
length, finding himself unpursued, he
peered into the car and, seeing that
Ashton had gone, he returned to his
duties. He kept a close watch on
Ashton, but on soberer thoughts Ash
ton aad decided that the incident
would best be consigned to silence
and oblivion. But for all the rest OF
that day he kept rubbing his lips
with his handkerchief.
The porter, noting that the train
had swept into granite gorge like
an enormously magnified aisle in a
made-up sleeping car, recognized the
presence of Echo Canyon, and with
1t the entrance into Utah. He FASTENED
to fmpart the tidtngs to Mr.. Fosdick
and held out his hand as he extended
the information.
Fosdick could hardly believe that
his twelve-hundred-mi exile was
over.
Were In Utah?" he exclaimed.
"Yassah," and the porter showed
his palm into view. Fosdick filled it
with all his loose change, then
whirled to his wife and cried:
Edith! We are in Utah now! En-
brace me-"
She flung herself into his arms with
a gurgle of bliss. The other passen.
gers gasped with amazement This
sort of thing was permissible enough
in a tunnel, but in the full light OF
day!
Fosdick, noting the sensation he
had created, waved his hand reas.
suringly and called across his wife's
shoulder:
Don't be alarmed, ladies and gen.
tlemen. She's my wife," He added
In a whisper meant for her ear alone:
AT least till we get to Nevada"
Then she whispered something in
his ear and they hurried from the car.
They left behind them bewilder.
ment that eclipsed the wonder of the
Mallories. That couple spoke to each
other. at least during the day time.
Here was married pair that did not
speak at all for two days and two
nights and then made a sudden ana
public rush to each others arms!
DR.. Temple summed up the general
feeling when he said:
Il don't believe In witches. but II |
Qlu, Ia DelleVe tHat thiS train ia be-
wttched."
Later he decided that Fosdick was a
Mormon elder and that Mrs. Fosdick
was probably a, twelfth or thirteenth
spouse he was smuggling in from the
east. The theory was not entirely
false. for Fosdick was one of the
many victims of the crazy-quilt of
American divorce codes, though be
was the most unwilling of polygamists
And DR.. Temple gave up his theory in
despair the next morning when he
found the Fosdicks still on the train
and once more keeping aloof from
each other.
