him cog in one of the wheels in the machine, had gone about in some mys- terious way to insulate him, to make it impossible for him to get into the real tide of affairs. But he kept his temper.
 -It's no use," he said, with a tang of abruptness in his tone. we are diametricaIIy opposed to each other you and I, dad. stand for democ- racy, the will of the people and it's fullest and freest expression. You stand for'-
 ''Wel1, son, what do I stand for?'' queried the father, and the question was accompanied by the quizzical smile that brought the hot blood boyishly to Blount's cheek.
 'tIf should say what all men say what some of them are frank enough to say even to mel He stopped short and then went on again with better self control:
 Lets keep the peace if we can, dad. Pm sorry that you are finding it nec- essary to fight me and a thousand times sorrier that I've got to fight you But I'll tell you here and now that I'll never quit this state-th1s native state of mfne-until it has had at least one decentIy clean election. I have told Gantry to pass the word that I shall show the railroad up if it doesn't play fair, and I've got to hand the same thing out to you, dad. I don't want to threaten, but it is only fair to say that I haven't been going about with my eyes shut Whether you have authorized it or not, there is a lot of crooked work going on, and if am driven to it I can print some things that would change the political map of this state so it won't be recognizable ''
 For some little time after his son had left the cafe the Hon. Senator Sagebrush sat absently toying with his dessertspoon. When he rose to go out the battle light in the fierce gray eyes was the signal which not even hismost faithful henchmen could always inter pret, but which most men feared.

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
 BY
Big Hats and Little Hats
BY BLANCHE BEACON

A very momentous question, 1t it not? Have you noticed how vainly Dame Fashion tries to decree "YoU shall wear only large hats this sea son ?' or else, "On1y small hats are to be au fait now?" Dame Fashion simply cannot do it. Some of us are altogether too fond of our ''cart- much attached to our demure and comfortable little toques. All of which Is, to my thinking, ex- actly as it should be.
 But if you please, here is a little sermon on when. how, why and who, should, and can, and ought to wear the very large hats.
 The lady in my illustration, by ev- cry law of art and appropriateness, is she has on. Suppose we analyze her and find out.
 In the first place, she is inclined to be rather plump. She is evidently rather above medium height. All this means that she can support the hat without the effect of "mush- room-top on a needle resulting.
 Secondly, her face is rounded and full. Hers is the only kind of a face that should be seen beneath such a large hat The contour is perfect.
 Thirdly, her hair is built out to g reasonable distance beyond and in the back. This is imperative. The spectacle of fiat, plastered coiffure with a big hat is ludicrous.
 And for all these reasons, Mi1ady in the picture should never wear a small hat. Medium sized ones and picture-hats are her metier.
 It is worth the effort to study the relative sizes of the hats, and to, de- eide thoughtfully.

CHAPTER XIV.
THE DYNAAIITER.

wT was about the time that Evan
 Blount was finishing his fourth M week of the campaign of educa-
 tion that the senator's wife be- gan to detect signs of country weari- ness in the eyes of Miss Patricia An ners During the last week or two some impulse which she did not take the trouble to analyze seemed to be drawing the girl toward the city The roads around Wartrace were just as good as ever, and the free pleasures of motoring in country where speed restrictions were conspicuous by their absence were just as keen But now Patricia confessed freely to a longing for the sight of city streets.
 "OnIy you mustn't consider us or me so much as you do, Mrs. Blount,, y she protested. q have a dreadful sus- picion that we have already interfered shamefulIy with your autumn plans You are merely too kind and hospita- ble to admit it.''
 "You have interfereds with nothing" ;" was the ready assurance. "No induce ment that was ever devised would take the senator away from his own state during a political campaign, and your coming has been a blessing. But for the good excuse to bring your fa- ther out here to the fossil beds we should have been mewed up in the In- ter-Mountain hotel from the firing of the opening gun to the day after cleo ton. But that is neither here nor there. You are tired of the country. Shall telephone the senator that we are going in this afternoon to stay awhile?'
 'I shall be delighted" said Patricia, and the eyes which were so apt to tell tales confirmed it. Then she add ed, ''Now that father has his box of books from the university library he will never miss uS.''
 On, their first day in the capital Evan was away, but he returned the following morning, and Mrs. Blount captured him for a theater box party.
 It proved to be rather more for midabIe affair than Evan had anttci- pated- There was a sufficient num- ber of guests to fill two of the open dress circle boxes. Gantry was of the number, and so were the Weatherfords father, mother, daughters and son.
 BIount had been counting upon a measurahly undiSturbed evening with Patricia, but fate or designing host CSS 4ALSIFSASOy anu u6 AOUAQ uAA1SS44 cornered between Mrs. -Weatherford and her younger daughter, with the square shouldered reform candidate for governor strengthening the bar rier which separated him from Pa tricia.
 BIount had met Gordon socially a number of times, and in the intervals allowed him by Mrs. Weatherford he ETas silently studying the face of the big man, who, if the gods should so direct, might be the leader and chief political figure in the state for the sue ceeding two years.
 It was a good face and, in Blount's estimate, an exceedingly strong one Almost unconsciously he fell to con- trasting 1t with that of Reynolds, the candidate Tor whom the corporation interests were working.
 Though Blount himself was on the corporation side, he could not help ad- mitting that the comparison was not favorable to EA=nlds- He said to

Early Candidates
For Governor

For twenty years whiskey
was the battle song Of the poll
ticians of South Carolina.
Now in this good year 1918, it
seems as if compulsory educa-
ton is to be made the slogan. It
was left for John G.. Clinkscales,
honest and ioyial John, the
College professor and man OF the
Woodrow Wilson type, to sound
the bugle for the new fight. he
has announced definitely that
he will make a fight for the
governorship Of South Carolina
on the compulsory education
plank. Like thousands of citi-
zens Of the state, he realizes the
great importan e of education.
John G. Clinkscales is pro
fessor of mathematics at Wof-
ford Colleg,. He has spent 80
or more yearsin the schoolroom.
There is not a better known or
better liked man in the state.
He is a fighter. He is scholar
and has always been a close
student of the government af-
fairs, Ia know him is to like
him. He,e is another secret
about him. There is not a bet
ter story teller in South Carroll
ma. Another feature is that
there are few people in this
state who haye not at one time
or another been within the hear
ing of the voice of John g.
Clinkscales. He is man that
will hold his own with the best
of stump speakers.
The campaign will be held
during the summer months of
1914 and to date seven candi-
dates have announced for gov
ernor. There are several tied
Just around the corner. They
will come hopping into the ring
before the present year has
passed into history.

Let me be a little kinder,
Let me be a little binder
To the faults of those about me,
Let me praise a little more.
Let me be, when [ am weary,
Just a little bit more CHEEKY,
Let me serve little better
Those that | am striving for.
| Let me be a little braver
When temptation bids me
waver,
Let me strive a little harder
To be all that I should be;
Let me be a little meeker
With the brother that's weaker,
Let me think more of my
neighbor
And a little less of me.
Let me be a little sweeter,
Make my life a bit completer,
By doing what I should do
Every minute of the day;
Let me toll, without complaining
Not a humble task disdaining;
Let me face the summons
calmly
When death beckons me away.
