That her name had slipped his
memory. If indeed he had ever known

incandescently in his mind, and that
was, he had written her, following
| infinitely her own specific directions
and inc1osing his bankers address In
Paris, Naples and Cairo; and for many
passings of moons he had opened his
foreign mail eagerly and hopefully.
But hope must have something to
feed upon, and after a struggle lasting
two years, she rendered up the ghost.

The Girl Who Wasn't Wanted.

If any one wronged George, defraud-
ed him OF money or credit, he was al
ways ready to forgive, agreeing that
perhaps half the fault had been his.
This was not a sign Of weakness, but
Of a sense Of justice too well leavened
with mercy. Humanity errs in the one
as much as in the other, doubtless
with some benign purpose in perspec-
tive. Now, it might be that this charm
ing woman had really never received
his letter; such things have been
known to go astray. In any case he
could not say that he had written.
That would have cast a doubt upon
her word, an objectionable rudeness.

her the full benefit Of the doubt

George was determined to meet For
tune Chedsoye, and this determination,
the first OF It's kind to take definite
form in his mind, gave him q novel
sensation. He would find some way,
and he vowed to best his old enemy,
diffidence, II it was the last tight ne
ever put up. He would maneuver TO
get in the way Of the Major. He never
found much trouble In talking to men.
Once he exchanged word or two
with the uncle or guardian, be would
make it point to renew the acquaint-
ance when he saw the two together.
It appeared to him as bright idea,
and he was rather proud OF 1t. Even
now he was conscious Of clenching his
teeth strongly. It's an old saying that
he goes farthest who shuts his teeth
longest. HE was going to test the pre-
cept by Immediate practice.
He had stood before the list fully
three minutes. Now he turned about
face, a singular elation tingling his
blood. Once he set his mind upon a
thing, he went forward. He had lost
many pleasurable things in life be-
cause he had doubted and faltered,
not because he had reached out to-
ward them and had then drawn back
He was going to meet Fortune Ched-
soye; when or how were but details.

self idling before the booth of the East
Indian merchant, he saw in fancy the
portcullis rise and the draWbridge fall

stro11ed over leisurely and pretended
to be interested in the case containing
mediocre jewels.
"This is a genuine Bokhara EN-.

without more ado, he went on to ex

the hour. Underwood, although a minority candidate, had the most loyal delegation of any man in the race. They openly declared that they would stick to the chairman of the Ways and Means committee ''until Hell froze over,'' and every effort to break their ranks. with the exception of scattering votes in the Florida dele gation, failed.
 The Clark men had no hesitancy in admitting that, while Wilson could get 660 votes, he could get no more. Theo- dore E. Bell, Governor Francis and Senator Stone, the Clark field leaders, showed figures and insisted that, after being deadlocked for several hours, with Wilson as the high candidate, the Governor would be abandoned and a dark horse would win.
 They reckoned without Underwood. When the situation was explained to him over the phone he decided that he had no right to be 8 party to a scheme to eliminate any candidate And he forced Senator Bankhead, his manager, to release every delegate from his pledge to him, On all sides it was admitted today that Under woods magnanimous action was the greatest factor in the 11th hour vic tory.
 The Clark men were at first inclined to be bitter but today they were rec onciled and willing to admit that Un- derwood's action had saved a serious situation and had probably prevented a serious break-if not bolt-in the party. The Clark managers admitted that they were Qptplayed, in the game

 TO AID WILSON Democratic Leaders Expect Help From Wisconsin
 Senator

Baltimore, July 3.-An interesting story is circulated in Baltimore to the effect that the Democratic load CTS are expecting Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin to declare for Woodrow Wilson.
 The Senator came to Baltimore a few days ago, and although he had not been supplied with tickets for the convention hall, when the leaders heard that he was outside there was lively hustling to find him and eX- tend him the courtesy of a seat on the platform. He accepted.
 In his talks with the leaders of the convention LaF,ollette advised them and in fact pleaded with them to ocrats construed this as an implied promise of support in case the con vention responded to his recommen- dations.
 Other Democratic leaders declared LaFollette stood in mortal dread of the Roosevelt third party movement and that his, interest in Wilson's nom ination was not wholly unselfish. He realizes, these leaders say, that if Roosevelt gets into the fight he will probably swallow the LaFollette poli- teal movement The Senator had a copyright on the dissenting move ment in the Republican party until Roosevelt suddenly appeared this year to dispute the leadership with lh4m.
 With Gov. Wilson as the nominee LaFollette probably realizes, these Democrats say. that the Roosevelt third party will amount to nothing. In such a contingency LaF-ollette, would remain in undisputed control of the Republican insurgents.

 The real campaign, it was stated, will not be opened for six weeks Meanwhile, the committee to notify Wilson, of which Ollie James is chair man, and that which will notify Mar shall of which Judge Alton B. Par ker is the head, will consult the con- venience of the candidates as to when it will be advisable to formally pre- sent them to the country
 Despite the discord, bitterness and resentment engendered during the bat ties on the convention floor, every State leader who left here today was insisting that the party was reunited and there would certainly be har- mony union and peace in the coming campaign.

BLESSING OF SHORT
 CONVENTION PRAYERS Other Clergymen Followed Good Example of Gard
 inal Gibbons

Baltimore, July 3-"A busy conven- tion is not the place for 8 long prayer" Cardinal Gibbons is quoted as saying to a friend on the platform after the Cardinal had said the open ing prayer of the convention g. week ago. And the brevity of the opening prayer showed that Cardinal Gibbons believes in practieing his precepts.
 'T'm in favor of a clergyman as temporary and permanent chairman at all conventions" said Finley Peter Dunne after days of listening to the brief invocations that have been 50 popularity received all during the con- vention, when Protestant, Catholic and Jew among the clergy in turn fol- lowed the example of brevity set by Cardinal Gibbons. And if all poIit- ical candidates would only settle upon sensible priest or minister such as we've heard to make the nomination and seconding speeches also and do all the debating for the kickers conven- ton would be shorter than a Con- naught mans friendship for man from Cork.
