past president of the general fedora
ton and Miss Mary E. Gearing, ass0-
ciate professor of home economics at
the University of Texas, who will con-
fer with the members of the fedora
! ton and the various committees on
the various phases of home econOm-
les and advise them of special lines
of work the university is doing and i"
| which the club women of the state
are especially interested. The con-
vention will remain in session until
Friday and in addition to the general
sessions there will be special sessions
of the various departments.

lTALY's KING a. YEARS OF AGE.
Rome, Nov. 1l.-Throughout the
whole Of Italy the 44th anniversary
of the kings birth was celebrated
by 1he people, who are extremely
fond and proud of their small but en-
ergetic king. During the morning
the foreign diplomats resident in
Rome called at the Quirinal and pre-
scented congratulatory messages in
behalf Of the %sovereigns and nations
they represent. The city was tharlc..
somely decorated with flags and
bunting and pictures of the king ana
the other members of the royal fAfns
lily were displayed everywhere. Busi-
ness was generally suspended and
popular demonstrations we're held
in all larger cities and rural com
munities. Everywhere the attitude
of the people betokened the popular
ity OF the king which has grown I'M
mensely since the war with Turkey.

CHAPTER XIX.
The Way of His Caste.

The day after the autumn primaries,
State politics was conscious of a dis
tinct shock. The "insurgent" Govern
or had trimphed again, but that was
expected. But what at once was the
sensation, attracting even national at
tention, was the defeat of James S.
Hall, chairman of the most powerful
committee in Congress, confdant of the
President-beaten in his home constit-
uency, the sober, cautious counties of
the Iowa Reserve, by an obscure coun-
try editor!
The press buzzed with explanations.
1t marked the temper of the rural
West; it meant the downfall of tradi-
tiOnal control; it was revolutionary,
demagogic. Curran was a Socialist,
anarchist, freethinker. what notl No.
body knew exactly. Down in his home
county folk said: We'll, we always
did sort of like Wiley Curran out our
way" In the other precincts of the
district they said: THAT editor put
up slashing fght-he come over here
and give us facts :"
Anyhow, Curran was the regular
party nominee. In Rome the best
people could not have been more indig-
nant if one of the billiard hall idlers
had gone into the First National Bank
and deliberately kicked Cal Rice on the
shins. 1t avs rumored that Thaddeus
Tanner, county chairman, who had
complacently promised his bailiwick
against the Governors league was en-
ragged beyond reason. He swore he
would not support Curran; the old-lfne
men would vote for the Democratic
candidate, whoever that spindling
county organization put up, even if it
was yellow dog.
The county talked so much of Cur
rams spectacular victory that il forgot
the local ticket. But all the old-line
county officers were nominated-a Tan
ner slate clean. Young Mr.. Van Hart.
nominated without opposition, was the
only new face to be in the Rome
courthouse. Every one approved of
young Mr.. Van Hart, a quiet. reserved.
altogether hkable chap-he would have
no opponent from the other party
camp.
The Honorable Thaddeus Tanner
met young Mr.. Van Hart the day after
the primary.
Well young man. what the devil
did you mean by allowing this crazy
anarchist to beat your fathers old
friend for Congress?'
Il had nothing to do with Mr. Halls
fight, Mr.. Tanner"
The county boss barred his yellow
teeth and snorted. That's what they
all say. It's these young fellers did it
-fellers like them cow-college stu
dents whom Jake Vance and Purcell
sent into every district to work for
Curran. And these damned labor peo-|
pie over in Earlville-but l notice they

father ever talk much to you?"
Father has no use for politics. He'd
hardly presume 10 influence me"
Thad snorted again These Van
Harts always did irritate him with

CHAPTER XvIII-Continued.

Mr.. Curran sat despairingly down.
Never to him had she been so beau
tifully buoyant, so arch with JOY, so
infinite with possibilities, so gay with
blithe courage. Love Harlan: Sure
ly notl This was life she was loving
smiles and tears and triumphs-she
was enraptured with it all, and she
would love no one now! She was
finding herself; she was unfolding
splendidly, dangerous, out of the hard
and meagers years she had served.
John says the reason he won't let
the family have your present is be-
cause you're a contrivance of the
devil"
But you like the devils contriv-
ances, don't you, Mr. Curran?"
Il expect l do. Aurelie"
And you don't care a hang what
Congress thinksw
I'm afraid not, Aurelie."
She came with laughter TO him-and
kissed him. Nobody can see us |!
What's the use of hating anybody?
Or being sorry? Or pining because
they don't love you? Oh, let's 90 on

Somehow he muttered, Il have to
forgive you. Do you know you are
living, Aurelie, every day? That's
what 1t means-to be gay and happy
and kind, and not bother too much
about other things" He took her
hands: Dear girl, life isn't so much
winning anything as always trying. It's
better to travel than to arrive, as some
one said. And, oh, so many years |

out across the busy street to where,
even in Earlville, one saw the encir-
