SUFFRAGE And
PROHIBITION FAIL
Two Amendments to Constr
tuition Linked Together and
Beaten IN Committee.
SITUATION PERPLEXING
Neither Proposal Can Be Voted Upon
at This Session-Women Seek
Platform Declarations.

Linking together the proposed cOnsti-
tutional amendment for woman suffrage
and the proposed amendment for national
prohibition the House Judiciary Commit
tee pigeonholed both of them yesterday
by a single vote. thus poStponing action
on them indefinitely
The suffrage advocates and the prohl-
bition champions both protested vehe-
mentIy and the session Of the commit
tee was described as spirited by those
who participated in 1t, but the opponents
OF one or another OF the amendments in
the leadership of Representative Carlin
OF Virginia. the suffrage advocates gained
sufficient support to link the two PROPOSE
tons together in a single vote.
The situation was perpIexing for some
members Of the committee who have
ardently supported one or the other of
the two resolutions. Representative
Webb for example. the chairman Of the
committee and author of the national
prohibition measure. was put in the pre-
dtcament Of voting against II because Of
his opposition to the suffrage resolution.
The suffrage leaders. who have been
working for favorable action by the COM
mittee on their proposed constitutional
amendment, were confident that they had
mustered sufficient support to insure the
reconsideration OF the action by which
the committee several weeks ago decided
to postpone vote on their resolution.
The su1ragists now say they will center
their efforts upon the fight to incorporate
a suffrage plank in the party platform
soon to be written.

.hApIeR-
XXXtE

Alan did not draw rein until he
reached the top of the bluff dividing
the valley from West lake. Then for
n moment he sat and stared down the
long slope. There was smell Of mois-
ture in the air. The valley. the whole
world. was expecting, waiting for rain.
and even as he stared the rain came in
fine, veillike mist that steadied the
tones of earth and sky to one even
shade of endless gray. Out Of the gray
came the click of iron on pebble. Alan
recognized the quick, springy tread
of climbing horse. He turned and
faced Glen. He felt the slow color
rising in his cheeks and his hands
trembled.
They did not smile at each other;
they even forgot to say good morning.
Alan licked his thin lips. They were
as dry as ever they had been with
fever. "Where's your hat?' he asked.
A flicker Of amusement showed in
Clem's eyes. She was quite calm and
she could see that Alan was not. that
he was biting his tongue at the feeble
words he had saddled on a heavy mo-
ment. "Hats are for sunny days." she
said. 81 like rain on my head. Have
you anything special to do? Don't let
me bother you"
NO." stammered Alan, nothing
that can't be put off,"
"Do you remember" Glen went on,
years ago I asked you to take me
for a ride. and you said not then but
sometime? I've never had my ride
with you. 1 want it now"
Her eyes were fixed on his and held
him. 81 am ready" he said through
dry lips.
She turned her horse and he fol-
lowed. They rode In silence at walk
and then at trot. Glen turned into
wood-road. Her horse broke into
gallop. She fiicked him with her whip
and his gathered limbs suddenly
stretched out for free run. The 60
ing was soft. Alan had fallen behind.
Clots of messy loan struck him in the
face. Swaying branches showered
drops of water on him. He lost his
hat. Then his lips tightened. his eyes
flashed and he began to ride. He was
himself again.
He urged his horse forward. but he
could not get on even terms; Glen held
the middle of the morrow track. Sud-
denly they burst into the broad Low
road. With terrific clatter OF flying
stones and slipping, scrambling hoofs,
they made the turn. Alan rode at last
on Clem's quarter. "Clem," he cried,
stop! 1t isn't fair to the horses"

whose eyes hold the shadows of unfor-
gotten SINS
"Well?" said Glen.
Alan sighed. "Between the lines of
my words you must read for yourself.
My smile is dead-I killed it long ago.
Yours is alive-alive. You have kept
it pure, guarded its flame and you
shall hold it high like n beacon. You
are ready to give all and you have all
to give. have nothing but the empty
shell. I have kept nothing. I have
gained the whole world-and lost it.
The little strength left to the pinions
of my soul could carry me up to clutch
your beacon and drag 1t down. but
Clem-dearest of all women-I love
you too much for that. You've got to
trust me. The things I know that you
do not know shove the duty of denial
on to my shoulders. l could give you
an empty shell, but l won't"
Alan had not looked at Clem. He
had talked like one rehearsing a les
son. with his eyes far away in the gray
world. He dropped the bit Of bush.
and his hands. locked about his knees.
gripped each other till the knuckles
and fingers showed white against the
tan Of his thin wrists. When he
stopped speaking Glen turned curious
eyes upon him. "Is that all?" she
asked.
Alan sprang UP and faced her. GAN?
ALP" he cried. isn't it enough?"
Glen rose to her feet. In her uplift-
ed right hand she held her agate
headed riding whip. Alan's eyes fas-
tened on it as she meant them to do.
Then. with full, free swing, she flung
it from her. The whip. weighted by
the agate head. described long curve
through the air and plunged into the
brush far down the mountain side.
THAT" Glen cried, her eyes flashing
into his, "for the beacon. kept it for
you. 1t was too good for you: you
would not take it, so there 1t goes"
Her lips trembled and she snapped her
fingers. "It is not worth that to me-"
Glen" cried Alan, protesting.
Don't speak," said Glen; you have
said what you had to say. Now listen
&c me. You are blind, Alan, or worse
than that, asleep. I'm not thin
legged elf with skirts bobbing above
my knees any more. You can't make
me swallow my protests today with.
Glen, you mustn't this and you
mustn't that There's one thing you've
closed your eyes on long enough. I'm

great deal of flesh. love you, and
you say you love me-"
Alan started forward, bur Glen held
him or with a gesture. "What do you
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1916-11-03

The curb rein, that last refuge of
poor horseman, hung loose and forgot
ten. Alan himself was dressed in
well-worn whipcord breeches, short
coat, soft hat, and close-fitting boots
adorned with rowelless spurs. For
his health Red Hill had done wonders.
His body was trim, supple and as vi
brant as the young horse under it.
But Alan's thoughts were far from
saddles and saddle gear as he walked
the restive animal down the dipping
slope of Long lane and with his riding
crop steadily discouraged the early
morning flies, intent on settling down
to the business of life on his mounts
arched neck and quivering quarters.
He was thinking of Glen. Where could
he go to get away from Glen? Not
tomorrow, not sometime, but today.
Where could he go today? Once the
world had seemed to him a fenceless
pasture where it was good to wander.
where every undiscovered glade prom
ised fresh morsels to an unwearied
palate, but now in his mind the whole
world had shrunk to the proportions
of Red Hill. Where Glen was, there
was the whole world. Already he felt
the yearning with which his heart
must henceforth turn to its sole desire.
He crossed the valley. and, as his
horse breasted the opposing hill. he
thought he heard an echoing hoofbeat
behind him. He turned and with one
hand resting on the horses quarter
gazed back through the gray light, but
Long lane was yelled from view by
overhanging trees. AS he lifted his
hand. its impress. clearly defined as
an image, caught his eye. How strange!
He had ridden thousand times and
he had never noted such thing be-
fore. 1t was simple when reduced to
physical terms. The horse was warm
and moist, the hair cool and dry. His
hand pressed the hair down into the
moisture. But when he had reasoned
out the why and wherefore and tick
eted the phenomenon. the impress still
stared back at him. To his mood 1t
seemed an emblem Of isolation, thing
cut off, discarded, useless. With a
smile of rebuke at his fancies he
touched the horse with his crop and
gave him his head. The horse sprang
forward, cleared the top of the hill.
and the rhythmic clatter of his hoofs
as he dashed along the pebble-strewn
road seemed to cleave the still morning
in two.
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1916-11-03

But Glen only laughed. Her slim
body swayed to the bends of the road;
her shoulders were braced; she leaned
slightly back, steadying her horse with
taut rein. Alan tried to draw even,
but every time he urged his horse into
a spurt Clem's spurted too. Alan grew
angry. He watched Clem's whip, but
1t never moved. He settled into the
saddle and rode blindly. His horse
must catch up or he would kill him.
He was gaining. A moment more at
the same pace and he could reach
Clem's reins below her horses neck.
Then Glen swerved again into half
hidden wood-road and Alan's horse
plunged through the brush, broke out,
and followed, poor second.
Alan's face and hands were badly
scratched, but he rode on doggedly. 1t
never occurred to him to give up the
chase. In the end he would catch up:
he knew that, but what puzzled him
was what he should do to Glen when
he caught her. Anyone else, man or
woman, he would give taste of their
own riding whip for their own good.
but not Glen. Alan suddenly knew
that there was something in Glen
that man could not break.
The woodroad made gradual
ascent that the willing horses took at
steady, hard gallop. They left the
