reliant young man, but he saw his
way clearly to accept the gift. In
his mind and in his uncle's mind and
in the minds of all who knew a great
deal, but could not legally prove the
same, when Vane's father died his
brother-in-law had managed by a
quirk of the law to get hold of some
valuable property by all moral right
belonging to the DensloWs.
There was no doubt that old
Trench's conscience as he got older
had urged him to grudging Testitu-
ton, the way Vane figured it out,
The crafty plot regarding his ward
was characteristic of the oldschemeF.
Vane had expressed his sentiments
boldly and let the matter rest there.
He disliked leaving his home town
and his fiancee, devoted LEONE Bel
ton, but they talked it all over and
settled the sacrifice to business in a
mutually satisfactory way.
Then LEONE, at Wildly, began to
receive some letters that nearly
broke her heart at the first, and Vane,
at Meriden, in turn received news
CONCERNING his fancee that amazed
him. Fortunately he ran down to
Wildly for an explanation.
"It is all clear to me-" he said to
LEONE. Some trouble maker has
got the news to you of my gay life
at Meriden, and to me of the numer-
GUS beaux you are going around with,
to separate US, know who it is, and
I know why LEONE, dear, we must
outWit these plotters. Whisper, DEAR"
and the interview wound up in an ex-
cursion to a near by city, and then
Vane went back to his work.
About that same time, too, in a
gIeeful chuckling way Lawyer
Thacker informed Mr.. Trench that
the track was clear" that young
DensloW had broken" with his
fancee, and everything was coming
their way"

he managed to leave them alone in
the garden. He rubbed his hands
gleefully. It meant a good many
thousands a year to him to keep the
Nellis estate in the family.
Dolly made sure that her guardian
was out of hearing as she sat down
on a rustic bench. She was very pref.
ty, had a gentle, confding nature,
but was gushing and somewhat af-
fected. She clasped her hands sud-
denly and fixed her doYe-like eyes on
Vane,
"Mr. Denslow," she whispered in a
fiuttering tone, "are we all, all
alone?"

"Then-then, oh, dear! hope it

LECTURE ON POLITICAL
CAPACITY OF THE CELT
DR.. Charles H. Mccarthy Addresses
Gaelic Society at New
Willard.

That the Celtic people do not possess
any political capacity whatever is the
claim of numerous authors. according to
DR.. Charles H. Mccarthy. who delivered
an address on The Political Character
of the Celt" before the Gaelic Society at
the New Willard last night.
Indeed. the writer's on political science
go farther" said the speaker. land as
sert that in the Celtic race political ideas
do not exist even in a Rerminal state.
Some authorities on the origin. the de-
velopment. and the ends OF the state
insist that as ideas concerning laws and
governments do not exist among the
members Of that race. even in a rudi-
mentary form. the political education of
the Celt Is impossible"
Speaking Of work written on the
political history OF Rhode Island. by Irv-
ing B. Richman. DR.. Mccarthy face
tiously referred to him as "a member Of
a race endowed with political capacity
and one who Is not SO unfriendly to
some branches Of the Celtic family as
are other authors" Mr.. Richman. among
other interesting things, says that the
Irish are not hopelessly illiterate."
This. indeed. Is perilously near to being
q compliment. The author does not appear
to know that he is speaking of a race.
which. II not possessed Of political ca
pacity, has never been suspected of being
destitute Of a sense Of humor
1t Is not only the lack of literature,
according to DR.. Mccarthy. that en-
barrasses the Celt- He is not. We are
told by an international authority. pos
sessed OF the political honesty of the
other clinical elements in the United
States. In the earliest editions of the
American Commonwealth. Ambassador
Bryce expressed no very high opinion of
the Celtic part Of his countrymen. 1t Is
certain that Ambassador Bryce has too
much concern for his scientific reputa-
ton to state in the year 1918 that political
corruption is clinical Educated persons
have long been OF the opinion that 1t is
a human, rather than Celtic. limi-
tation."
