CHAPTER XIV.

Life at the Office went on much the
way it had always gone.
In spite of their high resolve. there
was a very measurable degree of the
furtive in their meetings. In essence.
these meetings were stolen They did
not ride out brazenly together in the
face Of the world. On the contrary
they met always unobserved, she rid
ing across the many-gated backroad
from Berkeley to meet him halfway.
Nor did they ride on any save unfre
quented roads. preferring to cross the
second range of hills and travel among
church-going farmer folk who would
scarcely have recognized even Day
light from his newspaper photographs.
He found Dede a good horsewoman-
good not merely in riding, but in en-
durance. There were days when they
covered sixty. seventy, and even
eighty miles; nor did Dede ever claim
any day too long. nor-another strong
recommendation to Daylight-did the
hardest day ever see the slightest
chafe of the chestnut sorrePs back.
"A sure enough hummer" was Day
lights stereotyped but ever enthusiast
tic verdict to himself.
His lifelong fear of woman had orig
mated out of Misunderstanding and
had also prevented him from reaching
any understanding. Dede on horse
back, Dede gathering peoples on
summer hillside. Dede taking down
dictation In her swift shorthand
strokes-all this was comprehensive
to him. But he did not know the
Dede who so quickly changed from
mood to mood, the Dede who refused
steadfastly to ride with him and then
suddenly consented, the Dede in
whose eyes the golden glow forever
waxed and waned and whispered
hints and messages that were not for
his ears. In all such things he saw
the glimmering profundities of sex.

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

while attending school at Lebanon.
Ohio, In 1882, became aff1icted with
boils. which lasted for about two
years. when the affection assumed the
form of an eczema on my face, the
lower part of my face being inflamed
most Of the time. There would be
water-blisters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch 1t
would burn, and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open.
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch SO as to be almost un-
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another. back and forth over the
whole of my upper lip and chin. and
at times the whole lower part of my
face would be solid sore. This con-
dition continued for four or five years,
without getting any better, and in fact
got worse all the time, so much so
that my wife became alarmed lest it
prove fatal.
During all this time of boils and
eczema, I doctored with the best ply
sicians of this part of the country, but
to no avail. Finally decided to try
Cuticura Remedies, which I did, TAX
ing the Cuticura Resolvent, applying
the Cuticura Ointment to the sores,
and using the Cuticura Soap for wash
Ing. In very short time I began to
notice improvement, and continued to

currence of the trouble since, which Is

ever since, and have great faith in
them as remedies for skin diseases"

THE LOGICAL CANDIDATE.

There are three items in the record
of the Taft administration any one OF
which should assure the presidents
denomination, while in combination
they offer an unanswerable argument
in favor of his reelection.
President Taft has given us the tar.
off commission, and formulated the
policy of scientific, protective tariff re-
vision on the schedule by schedule
plan. In doing this President Taft has
offered the only rational ground upon
which the republican party can stand
in view of the we'll night unanimous de
mand for tariff reductions-a demand
which was not satisfied by the tariff
law of 1909. Under the Taft tariff
program the republican party can
make further reductions in the tariff
schedules. 1t can do this without de-
parting from the time honored protec'
tive principle-a principle to which no
republican admits opposition and to
which many democrats, while profess
ing opposition, really owe allegiance
Such tariff revision can be undertaken
with guaranty that no industry snail
be ruined by the withdrawal OF protec'
ton that can be justified under the re-
nublican definition of the measure OF
protection. 1t can be carried to com
pletion, one schedule at time, with
the least possible disturbance to bust
ness while the process is going on
President Taft has formulated this tar
if program without much help from
congress. If the tariff is to be the
paramount issue, and the democrats
are fixing things so it must be, VINO
can compare with Taft as the logical
republican nominee, and probable WIN
ner in the election?
If the tariff were not to figure at ALL
President Taft ought to be given
unanimous denomination and easy re-
election on the strength of his admin
istration's record in enforcing the an
thrust law. Ever since Roosevelt start
ed the ball rolling there has been gen
eral public demand for strict enforce
ment of the law against all OFFENDING
corporations. President Taft has done
what Roosevelt did not do. President
Taft has enforced the law against Of
tenders without discrimination or ia
yoritism. That was what the public
wanted. wasn't it? The only complaint
has come from Wall street. Are the
plain people going back on Taft for
his drastic enforcement of law that
they insisted should be enforced? II
they are not, what chance would there
be of electing any other candidate
republican or democrat?
President Taft has done what every
political economist has been advocat-
ing, without practical result, since the
early days of our government. He mas
actually made a start toward apply
ng business principles OF economy
md efficiency in administering theI
BUSINESS affairs of the federal gov
Bear in mind President Taft
