plan what you are planning. Can't you see it? Won't vOu give me chance to get back your lover I mad 1t once-I can get 1t again If you VIII give me the chance. l know can make you happy"
 smile that savored of the rack twisted her set lips-and died before 1t reached her eyes.
 NO, dear, she contradicted gently, you cant make me happy. doub; 1T you can make any woman happy A Woman-one who didn't know the un. Galahad side of you as l do-might respect or even reverence you. But you couldn't hold her love. No woman ever really loved a man because he was good; or because he fought against political evils or slew dragons. She might admire him for it. But ad. mlration and reverence are petty poor everyday fare. When your wife want ed you to say crazy adoring things to her. you would be thinking out new insurgent plan by which you could block the machine in congress. When she hoped you'd buy her some candy or a few flowers on your way home from the Capitol, you'd be too busy framing your next speech to think of such tr1fies. Those same trifies and his wild eXtravagance of praise and the quick noticing of anything she puts on to please him. are the cords that lash woman's heart to a mans. Not her pride in the way he is fighting his country's political battles"
 "Ltsten!" pleaded Standish "Tll give 1t all up; my seat in congress, my light for the people. my political hopes everything, I'll give 1t all up-all- If you will marry me and give me a chance to make you love ne again"
 Its no use" she returned For the moment you almost carried me off my feet. l can understand now why your speeches that read so stupidly, can sway people. But It's only an i'm. pulse. Inside of an hour you would question it. Inside of a day you would regret it"
 No! No."
 And inside of a week you would be secretly reading every scrap of con. gressional news and cursiug your lot at being out of the fight. It would be like all sacrifices. In time one gets to hating the person one mace them fer Oh, it would be misery for us both, It would be even worse than this week"
 To-day there seems much l don't understand,' he retorted. But one thing is very clear to me: the course you've chosen is an impossible enc for you You must marry me. If not for love, then because it is the right thing to do. l do not ask you to care for me or even to live in the same house with me. But for your own sake you must"
 Tt is for my own sake hat I must do nothing of the sort. You get your ideas of life from books. Too many people do that l am not going to let this one mistake ruin every bit of my future I won't let one moment of folly blot all my life. Men don't, Why should women? There is still much in the world for me And for you, too if you'll look at it sanely. Oh. know my kind of sanity shocks you But it is sanity You are held back by centuries of traditions. Your father began life as mllllonalres son. Mine began it in an Irish orphange. Your grandfather was a supreme court judge. I don't know who mine was There must be something. after all, iE this talk of heredity. For instance 1 don't suppose there's a girl in all your sisters set who would have con
