She lifted her eyes to him calmly,
and the direct beauty of her gaze dis
turbed him. Then she said:

morning when I left the clubhouse

gan, then begged her pardon and
waited.
She continued serenely:
1.-THE night was warm and lovely,
and it was clear starlight When
entered my room I sent the maid
away and sat down by the window.
The beauty Of the night made me
restless; went downstairs, slipped
out through the garden to the per-
COLA. My hammock hung there, and
lay down in 1t, looking at the
stars
She drew the ring from her finger,
holding it out for him to see.

her breath; that was the beginning.
And then--I don't know why-as I
lay there idly turning the ring on my
finger, found myself saying, I must
go to New York; I must leave my
body here asleep in the hammock and
go down to my own room in Fifty

WHO BLAMES TT ALL

Who Had Decided to Run Him and Then Tell Him of it; There Is Now No Kick on That F. A. NJ. Matter.
(By the Two Wheeler)

Jack HOhl says he ain and wasn't and wont.
 Referring to his supposed candidacy for the presidency of the Phoenix Mo- torcvclc club. When he saw in The Republican of several days abo that a clique of motorcyclists was figuring to run him for the leadership of the club. he decided right then and there, that however great the honor and glory might be, he wouldn't take any this time. thanks. but would continue to be an interested member of the club and let it go at that.
 This leaves the race strictly be- tween McIlWainc and McNew and di vii u wan iV tn A1acks cantcn for which to vote at all at all, The Me New is retaining the nine points of the law. as he is now president of the club and pretty solid too. McIlWaine is a former president, a mOtorcyclist and a gentleman. and therefor qualified to be it's head once more, if he can make the third term stuff stick in the coming contest
 The lightning like visit of Erwin C. Baker. who is perhaps the worlds most famous all around motorcyclist, has had no small effect on the situation, clarifying some of the obscure relation ships and calling for a refreshing frankness from those who have hidden their meanings under q deal of words. The relations of the racing association and the club are clear now. too, and this will take away part of the issue that has caused the politics to boil among the riders of the two Wheelers If this readjustment of political alli- ances continues, there will be no F A. NJ. issue nor any fight over the racing association, but the Harley and the Indian and Excelsior and the Mer- llle and the Thor and the Yale and the just common mote will lie down together in plentiful peace and cyIin- der oil will cover the dashing waves' The row that san Diego caused innocently enough-when it took, ac-
