THE STORY WITH
TWO BINDINGS

Opinions from CAVALIER readers
continue to pour in about THE wo-
MAN WHO PAID" Mary Rider Mech
tolds story with two endings, which We
ran in the April 20 issue of THE CAV
ALIER. 1t is a pleasure to say that
the experiment of printing both happy
and an unhappy ending, with the object
of letting the readers take their choice
was a remarkable success in every
sense of the word.
The reading public was divided on a
basis of forty-five and fifty-five per
cent, with majority in favor of End
ing Two, in which the woman in the
story dies self-sacrificed to her high
ideals, leaving her husband only the
memory of her martyrdom. 1t fingers
in his mind as a chastened and beauti-
full thing, and he is uplifted.
Ending One, that is to say, the happy
ending, restores the wife to her hus-
band, the evils of the past are forgot
radiating hope and lighting the high
way to a newer, better life.
Nevertheless the majority preferred
the tragedy, which was Mrs. Mechtold's s
original conception as to how the story
should conclude.
We discussed this tragic ending In ed
itorial confidence, and the author was
invited, for experimental purposes, to
prepare a version ending happily. This
she did with equal skill. as the readers
of THE WOMAN WHO PAID" are
aware. Both endings were weighed
carefully, with the result that ma
jority of intelligent readers were en-
abled to express a preference.

FIRE PART Of PLAN.
TO FREE PRISONERS,
OFFICIALS BELIEVE
Guards Make Men In Cells
Lie Flat While Blaze
Is Extinguished.

CHICAGO, May 23--An investigation
Of fire which burned the broom factory
at Bridewell and threatened the lines Of
hundreds Of prisoners early today, has
been begun by the county authorities
1t has been rumored that the fire was
tncendiary and was part of a plot for q
wholesale delivery of prisoners.
The burned factory was thirty feet
from two cell houses in which !, 900 pris-
oners were confined. Dense volumes Of
smoke poured through the barred win
dows Of the cell houses. It is the belief
of the authorities that the fire may
have been started in order to force a
transfer of prisoners to another cell
building and that in the confusion a
break for liberty would be made. The
prisoners at the Bridewell do not wear
stripes.
The prisoners were ordered by the
guards to lie fat on the floor. Careful
watch was kept to begin the transfer II
1t became actually necessary. but the
fire was eNtinguished before the lives OF
the prisoners was actually endangered

DIES SAYS SOLONS

ARE RULED BY PAP
Texas Congressman Deplores
Passing of Ante-Bellum
Craftsmanship.

I'VE have all surrendered to pap. to
appropriations" said Congressman Mar
tin Dies, during a satirical speech In
the House late yesterday, which consti-
tuted an arraignment of mis- colleagues,
the "progressivism" of today and, In
cidentally, Colonel Roosevelt.
Mr.. Dies deprecated the passing of the
craftsmanship Of other days, of ante
bellum times" and said a number OF
sarcastic things about some members In
Congress who call themselves pro-
gressives.
The speech Of the Texan member was
Pfon te by plan Shoh S ne sad

Ignorant persons from southeastern
Europe. who can neither read nor
never heard, Of the Constitution or the
Declaration of Independence" should
not become voters of this Republic.
From this he branched into a general
today as compared with ante-beiium
times Mr.. Dies said in/part.
That is the worst cowardice that
the Congress Of the nation ever In
dulged In. Cry Progress! Cry that
you are Republicans or Democratic
Progressivesl and yet you let million
Nliterates of Europe dump themselves
upon your shores every year, to mix
with you in the solution of these prob
lens. Just last year 100000 Of the i'm
migrants, of the foreigners, took out
letters that entitled them to vote. Two
hundred thousand would cast the die
in behalf of the States of the Union.
Progressives indeed!
For the old Democracy Of Calhoun,
and of the old ante-bellum days, l have
the highest regard, because 1t was a
Democracy that stood for the Consti-
tuition, a Democracy that said that the
States were integral parts Of this great
Union of ours. But in the breaking
down Of lines after the civil war, II
became an effete scramble for appro-
priauons. We have all surrendered to
