CHAPTER XIV.
Crossing the Channel.

Booth, restless with a vague uneasi-
ness that had come over him during
the night, keeping him awake until
nearly dawn, was hard put during the
early hours of the forenoon to find
occupation for his interest until
seasonable time arrived for appearing
at Southlook. He was unable to &C
count for this feeling of uncertainty
and irritation.
At nine he set out to walk over to
Southlook, realizing that he should
have to spend an hour in prof1tless
gossip with the lodge keeper before
presenting himself at the villa, but
somehow relishing the thought that
even so he would be nearer to Hetty
than if he remained in his own door
yard.
Halfway there we was overtaken by
Sara's big French machine returning
from the village. The car came to a
standstill as he stepped aside to let
it pass, and Sara herself leaned over
and cordially invited him to get in and
ride home with her.
What an early bird you are" he ex-
claimed as he took his seat beside
her.
She was not in a mood for airy per-
siflage, as he soon discovered.

town, Mr. Booth" she said rather
lifelessly. 81 have just taken her to

in his mind that her absence was
other than temporary.
She is not coming back, Brandon "
She had not addressed him as Bran
don before.
He stared "You-you mean" The
words died on his lips.
"She is not coming back" she re-
peated.
An accusing CLEAN leaped into his
eyes.
What has happened, Mrs. Wran-
dall?" he asked.
She was quick to perceive the
change in his voice and manner.

CHAPTER xIII-continued.

Leslie did not turn up at his fathers
place in the High street that night
until Booth was safely out of the way
He spent a dismal evening at the boat
club.
His father and mother were in the
library when he came home at half
past ten. From dark corner of the
garden he had witnessed Booths early
departure. Vivian had gone down to
the gate in the low-lying hedge with
her visitor. She came in moment
after Leslie's entrance.

PRE- sIDElNTIAL PRIMARY.

Democratic leaders do not expect
the passage of a presidential primary
law in time for 1916. 1t seems likely
that national conventions will select
the nominees, although primaries will
play an important part in selecting
delegates to these conventions.
Politicians will read President Will
sons next message with interest as
it was anticipated that he would
make some reference to the presiden-
tial primary. Even now candidates
for the Republican nomination are
being discussed.

ton when forecasts are being made

The Hit of the Day.
Recently I met man who for
some time had suffered from pc
culiar skin disease he said. EVERY
morning when he arose from bed he
literally walked out OF his skin, just
as you would step out of an overcoat
and pair of rubber boots.
"He went to several hospitals, but
it did him no good. Try as they
might, the doctors couldn't keep his
skin on. Each morning he had a
new &one-until after I became ac-
quainted with him and placed him
on a diet of uncooked food.
''Well, two months after that he
was cured completely. He kept the
same skin right along without a bit
of trouble.
A Back-slider.
HE was so happy about it he start
ed to call at the houses of all his
friends. OF course they were hap
py, too. and many asked him to din
ner. Being a very polite man, he
couldn't refuse. the cooked foods set
before him.
Gas a result of eating these, he
again started to shed his skin every
day. but as. soon as he stopped eat
ing cooked foods the skin stayed on.

and wouldn't eat fired food for any

HLAMEs HOME CONDITIONS.

That more girls go wrong because
of home environment than through
any other social conditions is the sur
prising statement of Miss Margaret
E. Luther, President of the Florence
Crittenten Home of New York. Her
position in social reform work gives
additional weight to this statement.
statistics show that the larger
number of girls who go wrong are
not alone in the world,' she says.
tNor are they all wage earners;
girls come to us from all stations
and all conditions of life. In most
of the cases the minds are polluted
In early childhood. Home conditions
are responsible. Out of $50 girls re-
Gently brought before the New York
women's night court, 2S9 were not
more than IS years old while 116 of
them were only 16 years old
"The men who live on commercial
lied vice are the men you see stand
ing on the street corners. Their vic
tins are usually silly little girls they
win by wiles. And the girl such a
man can enslave soul, mind and body,
is worse than any physical slave.
"A judge recently told me that 80
per cent of the men he had sentenced
for white slavery were less than
twenty-five years old. Home condi-
lions are responsible for this situa-
ton.
''Some people are inclined to say
that if we had better laws we would
have better living and better home
conditions. Character is formed in
the home long before man goes to
legislative halls to make laws, and
the home makes the man who makes
the laws
There is food for thought in this
alarming statement. 1t is severe

west FINDS ITS
R|Gn1FUL LEVEL
Her Football Style at Last Equals
That of the East.

Chicago, Nov. 10.-1n it's crushing
defeat of Pennsylvania, Michigan de-
monstrated Saturday that Western
football at last has reached the plane
SO long claimed by Fasteners as
theirs exclusively. That was the opin-
ion expressed by critics in this part
Of the country after reviewing the re-
suits of Saturdays games on both
sides Of the Alleghanies and includ-
ing the showing made by the Wolver-
ines against Harvard a week ago.
Neither Michigan men nor the West
generally lay claim to superiority nor
do they believe whatever difference in
style there is, is in their favor. But
they do contend that in the develop
ment of the new game the pupils; of
Yost as weI as others in the section,
have advanced as far as those taught
by Eastern leaders.
To the surprise of Michigan root
ers, the Wolverines found Pennsylva-
mia an easy opponent.
Meanwhile the leaders in the race
for Big Nine honors, Chicago, Wis
consin and Illinois saved up energy
for the great tests of next Saturday.
Ohio's defeat of Indiana furnished
the only great surprise Saturday.
In the East.
New York, Nov 10.-While the ma.
jority of the Eastern college football
games of Saturday resulted IN the vic
tories anticipated, the day was not
without surprises. Overwhelming
scores were run up by Harvard, Dart
mouth, Michigan, Army, Cornell and
other elevens in games forecasted as
likely to be close and hard fought.
The longest odds that Princeton
hackers could secure from Harvard
supporters We're to 4 and wagers
were made that the goal lines of the
two teams would not be crossed. The
Crimson defeated the Tigers 20 to 0 in
a game in which Princeton never ap.
peared dangerous. Almost every play
made by Harvard was successful, but
the New Jersey combination proved
such negligible quantity that the
result does not warrant the belief
of an easy victory over Yale in the
final big game of the season.
Several Of Yale's strongest players
were present in the Harvard stadium
in company with the coaches, and
Brown made it exceedingly uncom-
Portable for the team on Yale field.
Although defeated IA to 6, the Provi-
dence team showed unexpected
strength and it required the personal
app earance of Capt. Talbot IN the
line late in the game to arouse enough
fighting spirit to hold the visitors in
check.
Both Cornell and Army followed the
pace set by Harvard and crushed
Franklin and Marshall and Notre
Dame respectively.
Two games that were played strict.
ly according to advance form, were
the Syracuse Rutgers and Pittsburg
ashington and Jefferson contests.
