her. She law still, her heart beating
fast. as the bell rang a second time
Surely whoever it was would go away
now. She felt like a guilty creature
as she waited. At last, creeping out
of bed. she moved stealthily and
noiseless across the floor and opened
the bedroom door, Now she could
see the front door.
AS she stood there, hesitating, the
bell sounded again, long and persist
emily. An exclamation almost ESCAPED
her. AS if fascinated. she stood
watching the threshold on the other
side of which the would.be caller lin
gered. In a moment she saw a tiny
bit of pasteboard appear under the
door, the point grew larger, and soon
three-quarters of a visiting card pro
truded. Isabel took a step forward tc
pick it. up. but checked herself as the
bell rang once more. Evidently the
caller was making a final effort to ge,
in.
Then came the sound of retreatine
Footsteps and the swishing of silken
skirts, and the watcher drew a lone
sigh of relief and picked up Mrs. Sim
mons's card. Hurrying to the window
she peered out from between the cur
tains and saw a handsomely gowned
woman emerging from the door. AS
she crossed the street this woman

All her efforts to avoid being at

ing that Adelaide Simmons had not
come to see her during her absence
John had been in a pleasant mood and
had chatted as usual during dinner
In the evening Isabel had sewed while
he read aloud to her. She had not had
time to think out the failure Of her
scheme until she was lying in the dark
with John sleeping comfortably at her
side
Matters that are trifles by daylight

Now, as Isabel Hamilton remembered
that she had spent several dollars tC

vexation and regret. How foolish she
had been! And now she must meet
Mrs. Simmons in spite of her reluct

probably call the following afternoon

Then as she recalled Adela1de's air

she would not have that woman call

upon her mind, and she decided to walt

and deceitful thing.
Yet as she dressed for the evening
she decided to say nothing to him
about what she had done. He might
not think it right for a woman to
pretend to be out when she was really

she be expected to get up and dress
just because somebody rang the bell?
John himself would have been furi-

She did not acknowledge that the

an excuse. Nor did she appreciate
that there was anything "underhanded

that she had been asleep-if he asked
her if anyone had called.

Positive Relief
For Constipation

The progress of modern medical
science is. perhaps, no more force
fully evident than in the simplify
ing Of many of the old time
remedies Of past generations. For
instance, the harsh cathartics and
violent purgatives used by our fore
fathers to relieve constipation are
now known to be not only unneces-
sary but really harmful. Constipa-
ton can be more effectively reliev-
ed without the discomfort and pain
these old.time remedies occasion.

OUTLINES ATTACK ON
DEMOCRATIC RECORD

Special 90 THE EVENING JOURNAL.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 14.-In
an address delivered here last night
at banquet of the National Republi-
can League and Republican State
Clubs, Senator Weeks, OF Massa-
chusetts, said:
.f THE President is reported to have
told Democratic Committeeman that
the Republicans had no issue for the
= coming campaign except the tariff.
"He may think that is so. but let me
suggest that there are other issues
in which the country is interested, as
for example,
The Democratic national platform
of 1912 declared:
The constitutional rights Of
American citizens should protect tic7i
on our borders and go with them
Throughout the world, and every
american citizen residing or having
property in any foreign country is en-
Titled to and must be given the full
protection of the United States gov
.ernment, both for himself and his
property
THAT declaration applies directly
10 Mexico. American citizens in
Mexico and those on the border have
not been protected by this admins
tTation. American property in Mexico
Has been ruthlessly destroyed; in
fact. there has been a carnival Of de-
struction of life and property in that
unhappy country without any reason
able or effective protest on the part
OF the party in power. | believe that
will be a very important issue in the
campaign Of 1916.
THE Democratci platform Of 1912
declared against extravaganza in these
words:
1--WE denounce the prohigate waste
of money wrung from the people by
Oppressive taxation through the Law
ish appropriations of recent Repub-
lican Congresses
Notwithstanding that declaration
I the first Congress controlled in the
7. House and Senate by the Democratic
party appropriated S177 100000 more
than was ever appropriated by a Re-
! publican Congress. and even that
amount was SS4,O0O000 less than was
recommended by the administrative
heads of the departments. ! suggest
{ that that will be an important issue
in the pending campaign.
THE platform in 1912 made this
declaration:
THE Republican party in its plat
form attempts to escape from the re
responsibility for present conditions b,
. denying that they are due to ;
/, protective tariff. We charge tina

enacted and maintained by the Re
publican party
"On the stump and in every other
way the attempt was made to demon
strate that this was the reason for
tho high cost OF living. The tariff
was reduced, and yet the cost of liv-
ing has increased more rapidly since
the advent of this administration
and depend for this information upon
the statements Of its own bureaus
than during any similar time in the
last decade.
This. too, will be an issue in the
coming campaign. These are only in
stances Of questions in which the
American people are interested. They
will demand a satisfactory explana-
tion Of them from the party in power
which. in my Judgment, cannot be fur
nished."
