# bills. she's making the mistake

other bills. She's making the mistake
Of her life"
All morning Helen's mind revo1ved
about Miss Perry. She was neither
very young nor very attractive, yet
girl of unmistakable refinement. 1t
was hard to think of her as being en-
gagged to a sporty looking youth.
Soon after luncheon Warren called
up about some papers. he thoughI ne
had left them in the inside vest pocket
Of the suit he had worn yesterday. He
held the phone while Helen looked
yes, they're here"
'Au right, get a messenger, will you,
and hustle them DOWN."
why, dear, can't I bring them my
self? I'm coming down this afternoon
about those cards-you know 7 want to
try your engraver this time
'All right but don't make 1t later
than four
Helen had thought only Of saving
the/needless expense of the messenger,
but now she realized she would see
Miss Perry. She wondered II she would
speak OF her engagement.
It was half past three when Helen
entered the towering United Trust
building, on the seventeenth floor OF
which Warren had his offices. AS she
went up in one of the huge bronze
elevators, she thought of Miss Perry
coming here day after day
Helen Understands.
Wonderful as was the atmosphere OF
this great office building with its un-
ceasing hum and activity-it was not
a WOman's atmosphere. And Helen
could understand how Miss Perry
might be longing to leave it all, for a
little home Of her Own-even though
that home meant only the cheapest Of
tniy flats.
Down the marbIed hall, and Helen
paused before the door of Warren's
office. The outer room was empty.
She started into his private office, then
paused. It was Miss Perry's voice
talking over the phone.
OveFhears n Conversation.
"Of course the rooms are not very
large, and it's four flights up, but it's
better than anything else we've seen
at twenty. And the janitor said they'd
repaper the living room"
"Oh, what do you think Mr.. Curtis
asked me this morning. If I hadn' t
better get woman to do my house
work and not give up my position OF
course, I said you wouldn't hear to
that
why, VIII. II thought you were
so positive about my not going on"
there was an unmistakable culver in
her voice. 'I thought you had decided
I was to give this up?'
''Of course, we can managed And If
you're promoted this fall we can have
a wonderful little homel And you
know" hopefully, ct think 7 might get
some copying to do there? I could
rent a machine, Mr.. Curtis would give
me any extra work he had, and ]
know several other lawyers. Oh. I'd

Geoffry Coolers hat blew off
at the junction of Skrimpitt ave-

Geoffry Goober stood there and

a few light hairs, while a messenger

It became a question whether he
would reach the hat before a rapidly
approaching ice wagon reached him.
The ice wagon won, ana ever after

You have my best wishes I hope
you'll be very, very happy"
When Helen went back down the
hall to the elevator she saw only Miss
Perry's face, TREMENDOUSLY, quiveringly
happy-transfigu by love.
After all. life gives US our happi-
ness only in moments-and these were
Miss Perry's moments
AS she left the building Helen paused
on the steps to look into the faces OF
the mass of people that hurried by.
How strained, anxious, worried or
querulous all Of them Werei And these
faces typified their Lves-except for
the momentsi
Even if Miss Perry could know that
she must pay for her moments with
years OF sorfdness, might she not still
choose to take them? Might she not
rather be sWayed once to the very
heights-than never to know them at
all?

PALMER DECLARES
PENROSE EXPENDED
100000 IN PRIMARY
Charge of Violating the Cor
rupt Practices Act a Srik-
ing Feature of Speech at
LeWlstoWn.

CENTER HALL, Pa, Sept. lied by
Congressman a. Mitchell Palmer the
Democratic campaigners reached here
this morning after completing their tour
of Perry, Juniata and MiMun Counties
yesterday. A charge that Senator PEN
rose has violated the corrupt practice act
of the State and nation and review of
his opposition in Congress to publicity
campaign legislation were the climatic
points in Congressman Palmers final
speech at Lewistown last night.
Mr.. Palmer declared that If the true
cost Of Senator Penrases nomination
were known, including his own expend-
lures and contributions by those to whom
it would mean most for him to be elected
to the Senate the total would be near
$4,000, although Mr.. Peurose admits ex-
pend.tures of only $4,000.
The Pennsylvania Protective Union. MI
Palmer asserted, was political COM
m!tteo within the plain meaning OF the
corrupt practice act. He said 1t should
be compelled legally to give an account
Of its disbursements in behalf Of the
nomination of Senator Penrose
As indicating Senator Penrosc's opposi-
tion to any campaign publicity legislation.
Mr.. Palmer referred to the Congressional
Record for July Il. 1911. Here Senator
Penrose is recorded as mot voting" on
the bill. intended to limit the campaign
expenditures Of a senatorial candidate TO
$1,000.

POLITICAL MOVIES
OF PENROSE BRING
Kisses IN THEATRE
Mothers and Children Ex-
press Disapproval as Air of
Decided Goodness Per-
vades Playhouse.

An air Of decided GOODNESS pervaded the
apollo Theatre, sd street and Girard
avenue, Mt the matinee this afternoon
when a moving picture of Senator Penrose
was flashed on the screen. There were
also a few Kisses from the mothers pres
ent when the Senator's picture appeared
as his object of getting before the public
in this way has been made plain to
them.
The Senator was shown addressing a
crowd OF workingmen at HomewOod, Pa.
He wore his familiar expression of al
legged sincerity, and to those not ac-
quaintcd with his political deeds, he
seemed to mean all he was saying.
When the picture appeared at the same
theatre last night, it was Kissed by the
childworkers present. 1t was evident that
they had heard their parents tell how lit
tie Penrose had done for the working
children generally, and so they gave vent
to their disapproval of the senior Sena-
tors action in an emphatic manner.
The Kisses finally turned into laughter
mingled with plain criticism which left no
doubt where the children stood. The
management, it is said, is considering
removing the picture from the bill.

TUCKERTON PLANT DISABLED
Communications With Germany Hin
dered When Wireless Machinery Fails

Communications between this country
and Germany received u serious setback
today when the wireless plant at Tucker
ton, y. j., was forced to shut down owing
TO an accident to the machinery.
While the naval officers in charge of
the station would noI dvulge exactly
what the nature of the breakdown was.
il is understood th8t the generators had
burned out because Of the high pressure
at which the plant has been forced 10 run
night and day, in an endeavor TO dispatch
all the messages accepted FOR transmits
sion AS the Tuckerton station Is one of
two in the United States furnishing direct
communication with Germany, it has been
practically swamped with work since the
cables ceased operation.
The generators affected by the break
down are the most vital part of the send
Ing machinery. AS all the machinery i'm
use at Tuckerton is of German manu-
facture there may be much difficulty in
replacing the destroyed parts so that the
plant may be kept out of commission for
some time,
