COMMENTS ON
REPORT OF DIFFERENCES


indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 27.-Com-
menting On Washington dispatch to
the effect that he and President Will.
son are at loggerheads concerning the
Democrats attitude toward the trusts,
Vice-President Marshall, here for the
holidays, said today:
"My feelings on this subject are
perfectly clear and l make no excuse
for them. The party has done two
things for the people--passed a new
tariff law and created a new currency
system. The Democrats don't know
for certain what the effect of this leg
islation will be.
"Now, if the trusts are coming vol
unfairly and offering to allow the gov
ernment to handle them, there is moth
ing for the party to do, but wait and
see what results are forthcoming.'
Marshall added that he had no better
friend than the president.

not be empty. Out in the snow she
had placed pans of nut taffy to cool.
But now she tossed aside the broken
toys and crowed joyfully over the con-
tents of the packages they had brought
Jim Harcourt watched her with shin
ing eyes. He had not known that
woman could be made so happy by
such simple means.
1t was the rare privilege of Jim Har-
court and Nick Bolton to help fill the
tiny stockings hanging from the man
telpiece, and afterward they all tiptoed
into the next room and saw the rosy
children asleep in little white crib.
''This is home" murmured Jim Har-
court reverently as he backed out into
the living room. The others heard
him, but they made no answer. Nick
and the little widows eyes grew very
tender as she glanced up at the great
six feet of manhood who had never
known home.
Nick and Jim promised to ride over
and eat Christmas dinner with the
widow, and aftersthey had brought in
big supply of wood for her fires they
rode toward the ranch.
Harcourt's last glimpse of Mrs. OAR
ling as she stood in the doorway re-
vealed the fact that she had wrapped
herself in the pale blue shawl.
His gift! His first gift to a woman.
Mick" he said after awhile, "are
you--is She He nodded back to-
ward the little house.
me? No; my girls waiting for me
back in Ohio She sent me her picture
in gold frame" He laughed softly.
Its clear field for you, jim"
Harcourt's hand went out to his, and
then Harcourt barred his head and
spoke solemnly:
"Then. please God. this is only the
beginning of Christmas for me. After
this there will be Christmas-and the
homeland they will be mine to work
for and to love-"
"Amen," said Nick Bolton reverently
There was great peace in Jim Har
courts heart as they rode along under
the Christmas stars.

her children TO receive his gifts and to
need his care and sympathy. Why, If
it had not been for Mrs Darling and
her kids he would have spent another
dreary Christmas.
The two men were silent as they
rode over the trail to the canyon
Here where there was little travel the
snow was level two inches. and only
the sagacious horses picked the trail
out of the blanket Of whiteness The
snow had ceased falling, and the stars
were blazing out in the deep blue sky.
Suddenly in the distance there shone
two blurred red lights.
whats that?" asked Harcourt Gu
riously.
Mrs. Daring's house," was Nick's
reply.
The horses hoofs made no sound on
the packed snow, so that they rode up
to the doorstep and dismounted before
Nick knocked loudly.
There was moments silence, and
then woman's voice spoke timidly:
who is there?"
Santa Claus" rumbled Nick in
deep bass voice.
There followed a musical laugh, and
light feet tripped to the door and flung
it wide open.
Come in. Oh. Mr.. Bolton. how kind
of you to remember us!'
It was not until they were within
the cheerful warmth Of the room that
Harcourt drew breath after that first
glance at Mrs. Darling. Such delec
table combination of pink and white
skin, ruddy brown hair, hazel eyes,
laughing lips and perfect figure he had
never seen.
She was so grateful for their thought
fulness-no one had been near her
since the storm began, and she had
reconciled herself to barren and lone
ly Christmas. AS for the children-she
threw out her little hands, pretty in

there and see if she's fixed against this
storm. It's going to come on worse
by and by"
HarcOurts horse scuff1ed to stand
still under his riders firm hand.
IF we're going to the canyon to-
night we may as well go provided with
some food and other things. They are
sure to come in handy" said Harcourt
in his practical way.
"Sure thing!" assented Nick in
surprised manner. And without fur
ther talk they rode back to Red Brick.
Once in the brightly lighted main
street, crowded down it's struggling
length with Christmas shoppers. Nick
Bolton led his less experienced COM
panion into that famous mart. the New
York Emporium.
Here any one could purchase any
thing a reasonable heart might desire
in the way of food, ratment, adorn-
ment or pleasure. In the rear Of the
store a photograph was blaring forth
popular song.
All at once Jim Harcourt, his pock
cts bullying with honestly earned dol
lars, felt a new sensation around his
big, lonesome heart. This was differ
ent from his generous cash remem-
ORANGES to the boys when Christmas
came around.
There was something very intimate
and sweetly personal in buying for the
Widow Darling and her children. He
pictured her a faded, worn little crea-
ture, plain of countenance and stunted
and bent by overwork.
He laid his big hand on a large
shawl, knitted from soft. pale blue
wool.
"How would the widow like this?
Warm, eh?" he asked awkwardly.
Nick grew red around the ears.
Sure thing. BOSS" he said in
strangled tone, staring very hard at
string of wild turkeys in the window.
"Pn take that" said Harcourt to the
blond saleswoman. And 1t was char
acteristic of his mental attitude that
night that he did not ask the price Of
any article. He bought what he fan
cied, and he found a new. delightful
pleasure in 1t.
Perhaps his greatest enjoyment was
in buying toys for the little girl and
boy. Nick had to restrain him from
buying duplicates Of every toy-fn
case they should be broken" argued
Harcourt.
"Come along. Jim. It's getting late.
II we don't hurry the widow will be In
bed. and they will be too scared to let
us in."
"Got everything" asked Harcourt,
tearing himself reluctantly away from
a big wax doll. He already had bought
two dolls.
"Yes; turkey, butter, cranberries, po-
tatoes. -four. plum pudding. oranges.
apples, nuts, candy-all the eats!' re-
turned Nick cheerfully.
Their saddlebags were overlooking
and their pockets and arms were full.
AS they rode away dolls head
poked inquisitively from Harcourt's
pocket Sharp eyes spied 1t and
friendly hooking voice called out:
Regards to the family, Jim" and
Jim, who never had had family, felt
strange thrill as he sent back
laughing reply. Suppose he really was
married and there were wife and
children waiting for his homecoming
tonight But no; he sighed and then
shrugged his shoulders.
What If the Widow Darling was
plain and unprepossessing? It was
certainly sweet Of her to be there with
