I'd be new man next spring. I've
sent for you to accept the invitation
you gave me to shoot ducks with you
down In Virginia"
"What invitation? ?" Stuart asked in
surprise.
"Why. the one you used to reproach
me for not accepting. Will you 60
with me now?"
Stuart shook his head.
"I can't CO." he said slowly.
Bivens hadn't said Nan must go on
that trip, but in a flash Of warning In
tuition he knew it The danger of
such a situation on a yacht would be
real and only fool would rush into it.
Cant go? Why?" the fnancier
asked In tones of genuine distress.
'I've important legal business.
There's no use in my going. l can tell
you exactly where to go, the guides, to
get and the kind Of boats you'll need.
You'll get along better without me-"
II won't go without you," the f1nan-
cier said peevishly. you know the
place, you know ali about the birds,
you can teach me the ins and outs of
the business and ! can trust you. !

Of me any information my enemies
would like to know. appeal to the
hoy used to know at college, the fel-

Stuart hesitated and looked at Nan,
who had stood motionless while Biv.
ems spoke.
We'll, If that's the way you put it,
I'll take a vacation and go with you
Tor q month"
Bivens seized his hand and pressed
it gratefully.
Best medicine I've had iE weeks"
Nan walked slowly across the room,
looked into his eyes and said, with
emotions:
THANK you, jim"
In five days the party had completed
all preparations and Blvens' big
steamer, the Buccaneer, slipped quiet
ly through the Narrows and headed
for the Virginia coast towing a trim
little schooner built for cruising in the
Bhoal waters of the south.
They had scarcely put to sea when
Stuart began to curse himself for
being led into such a situation.
B1vens had insisted with amateurish
enthusiasm that they begin the cruise
on the little schooner-with her limit
ed crew and close Quarters-at once,
and use the Buccaneer as her tender.
The moment they struck the swell
outside Sandy Hook the f1nancier
went to bed and the doctor never left
his side until the trip ended.
Nan was in magnificent spirits, her
cheeks flushed and her eyes sparkled
with the joy OF child. Stuart
watched her with growing wonder at
her eternal youth.
The night was one of extraordinary
springlike air though 1t was the 18th
of December. A gentle breeze was
blowing from the south and the full
moon flooded the smooth sea with soft
silvery radiance. Nan insisted that
Stuart sit on deck with her. There
was no help for T. Bivens would
allow no one except the doctor in his
room, and so Stuart resigned himself
to the beauty Of the glorious scene.
"Jim! she said, softly. II don't
like your attitude, and I think we'd

Altogether the skirt is most attrac-

THE CANDID MR.. GORE.

Senator Gore iohrneyed from Wash
inglon TO mingle with the men who
are making laws at Oklahoma City
and to give them the benefit OF his
counsel in the work before them He
candidly confessed that the primary
purpose Of his visit was just to make
love to the legislators and to urge
the enactment Of a law making IT a
capital crime for any good Democrat
to refuse an office which was ten
dered to him on a silver platter"
The humor Of the senator's remarks
is evident and is up to his usual stand
ard. but his frankness is even more
refreshing A less ingenious states.
man would probably have invented a
big eoek-and-bull yarn, giving out
some such statement as Public mat
ters Of high Importance call me from
any arduous labora to confer with the
sovereign citizens Of this great state,
etc" Senator Gore, however, sprang
no such hilfalutin fiction on us, but
told US eandidly why he came just as
a plain speaking, normal human being
would.
And that leads US to inquire, After
all, isn't candor the best policy foI
statesmen as we'll as individuals? p
The majority Of people are not as
easily deceived as some politicians
frequently suppose; they readily pene
trate the mask Of deception and sub
terfuge buys neither thei; confidence
nor respect. candor in statesmen and
al others in the end commands ad
miration and wins friends for thos,
who practice it.

Some Of the business politicians
tried to stir up a scare among busi-
ness men because Of Coz Wilson's
Chicago speech, but they have discov-
cred that the presidentelec. is not a
man easily frightened, says the Com
moner
Commenting upon the Chicago
speech, the New York World says:
These are not the words Of dema
gogy. They are not the words Of a
politician preaching class var. They
are the words Of a statesmen pleading
for justice and asking for assistance.
TO the extent that big business inter
prets this speech as an attack upon
anything except wrong aud privilege
and greed, to that extent big bust
ness is an ass. To the extent that
big business refuses to help in this
new movement for economic freedom,
to that extent big business sglll be the
chief victim Of It's own folly"
