There was brief silence. The in
tangible, uniformed, unthought-out
fear that had kept her silent was
crystallizing into very tangible con-
vietion. Marshall had expressed more
than the mere desire to be revengeri
on North. She saw that he was
swayed by the mastering emotion of
fear, rather than by his blazing hate
of the suspected man. Slowly but
surely there came to her an under
standing of his swift descent during
the last months.

A scarcely articulate snarl from

go on.
Marsh, where does the money come

his face was averted.
She gave a frightened laugh
"Oh, no, Marsh, know better than

CHAPTER XXI.
Good Men and True.

TT HE North trial was Mount
Hopes one vital sensation.
Day after day the court
room was filed with eager,
perspiring humanity, while in their
homes, on the streets. and in the
stores men talked of little else. AS
for North himself, he was conscious
of curious sense of long aequaint-
ance with the court-room; its staring
white walls and crowded benches
seemed his accustomed surroundings,
and here, with feeling that was
something between fear and weari-
ness, he followed each stage of the
elaborate game Judge Belknap, for
the defense, and Moxlow, for the
prosecution, were playing, the game
that had his life for its stake.
When court adjourned, always in
the twilight of those mid-winter aft
ernoons there were his brief comfort
ing interviews with Elizabeth: and
then the long solitary evenings in his
cell; and the longer nights, restless
and disturbed. The strain told fear
fully on his vigor of body and mind,
his face under imprlsonments pallid
mask, became gaunt and heavily
lined, while his eyes sunk deep in
their sockets.
At first he had not believed that an
innocent man could be punished for a
| crime of which he had no knowledge;
he was not so sure of this now, for
the days slipped past and the prose-
cution remained firmly entrenched
behind certain facts which were in
their way conclusive. He told him
self with grim humor that the single
weak strand in the rope Moxlow was
seeking to fit about his neck was this
| that after all was said and proved
the fact remained he had not killed
| Archibald Mcbride!
| When the last witness far the State
! had been examined North took the
| stand in his1 own behalf. His cross
| examination was concluded one dull
February day, and there came briei
halt in the rapid progress of the
| trial: the jury was sent from the
room while Moxtow and Belknap pre-.
| pared instructions and submitted
| them to the court. The judge listened

WASHINGTON. April 1.
Congress will meet next Monday to
revise the tariff, but up to date the
ways and means committee is little
nearer to having a program ready for
submission to. the House of Repre-
sentatives than it was on March 4.
There isn't such a thing as a tariff
program in sight Majority members
are unable to agree on most of the big
issues to be raised in the proposed
revision, and, although it has been
generally agreed to put all these
questions up to the President, there
is promise of a very lively row, re-
gardless of what program may ulti-
mateIy be decided upon.
1t is the desire of the leaders in
both houses, and OF the President to
have a single tariff bill, that may be
known as the administration bill, and
passed by a party vote, il possible
The danger in the way is the improb-
ability that the party can be held to-
gether on such program.
Free sugar and the proposed dras-
tic revision Of the wool schedule are
the Two big stumbling blocks. 1t is
likely that any program agreed to by
the President and the ways and
means committee will pass the House
without much trouble. In the Senate,
however. the Democrats have ma
jority of only six votes. Two Demo-
cratic senators from Louisiana are
openly pledged to vote against free
sugar. Senator Shafroth, of Colo
RADIO, and Senator Mark Smith, of
Arizona, are protesting against free
sugar and vowing they will not vote

Men Slaves to Beauty, Women Are Not
Girls of D. S. Won't Find Necessary to Form Protective League
Against Handsome Men, Says Dorothy Dix.

TN Berlin, where a mans a man
and a husbands a husband and
hard to get, no matter what
sort of a face he has on him,
Fraulein Derben has organized a
society that is called The League
Against Beauty"
The members of this organiza-
Jton are all young women, and they
have pledged themselves to marry
only ugly men, on the theory that
handsome husbands make more
unsatisfactory life partners than
homely ones, and that in matri-
mony pretty is as pretty does.
American girls will probably not
find it necessary to form a pro-
tective league to guard themselves
against youths who are cursed with
the fatal gift of beauty, Apollos not
being overly plentiful in this coun-
try, however common they may be
in Germany.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-09-20

If there's going to be any Beauty
and the Beast business in her
family she wants to qualify for
the role of Beauty. That's the
reason that you often see a pretty
woman marry a grOtesquely ugly
man, but very rarely a handsome
man married to a homely woman.
Another reason why women do
not care for a superabundance of
good looks in a man is because a
handsome man is invariably inor-
dinately vain. with the vanity that
makes the vainest woman seem
humble and self-deprecating. He
has vanity that requires to be
continually fed on flattery of a
warmer and more piquant kind
than any domestic brand. II seems
a pity to him to waste so much
charms on any one woman, and
that one a mere wife, so he roams
abroad to give other women a
chance for to see and to admire"
him.
An instructive sense Of self
protection makes women choose
homely men as husbands. They
may like to feast their eyes occa-
sionally upon a matinee hero. but
when they go home they want
something more than a living pic
ture in the house. They want a
man, and if he's intelligent, and
good, and kind, and generous. they
don't care button about his looks.

But can you imagine a fat,

Such a woman might be the most

would ever take the trouble to look
beyond her homely face and see
the superlative beauty of her soul.
The opponents of woman suf-

women vote, the one and only
qualification that a candidate will
need to swing the feminine ballot
will be a handsome face. They
are dead wrong there. Women
