a question, "and We will put our ticket

votes was disappointing"

son legislative committee, was criti-
cised BY the committee. The report
said:
He introduced much unsound legis-
lation. Record of votes good. yet in
dicated serious misconception of his
position as a legislator by attempt to
obtain special favor from public service
corporation under implied threat of UNI
favorable legislation"
OF Senator Ogden l.. Mills, Republi-
can. the report said:
Exceptionally forceful and effective
legislator"
The committee highly commended the
service of Senator George Cromwell,

Pleads for Harmony.

After the noon reception there was
brief conference behind the closed
doors Of the Chicago Club. IL became
known that Mr.. Hughes demanded such
feuds as had been found among various
factions in the Middle West be for
gotten and that everybody work for
the success OF the Republican ticket.

in which he announced he would sup

Confer With Leaders.

Mr.. Hughes alighted from the Mich
igan Central train TO which his cars
we're attached at $40 a. m, was met
b. a delegation of local leaders, IN
which there was a generous sprinkling
OF Progressives. and was taken TO the
Blackstone Hotel headquarters. There
he met Alvin T. Hert, of Kentucky
newly appointed Western manager
who reported the headquarters here
already were under a full head OF
steam. Chairman William r. Will
cox. of the Republican National Com
mittee, took part III the ensuing con-
ference, In which former Governor
Charles 6. Deneen, Mayor William Hale
Thompson and numerous Chicago and
downstate leaders participated.
During the rush of the morning Fred
W. Upham, who is himself a nstty
dresser, noted with disspproval the
battered Panama hat that adorned the
head of Mr. Hughes. Without word
of comment. he appropriated the heat
covering and sent il to his own home
as souvenir. Then he sent out for
a new hat. in which Mr.. Hughes proud

Thousands of Hand Shakers.

AS he progressed and Mr.. hughes
is an experienced hand shaker-it was
discovered the waiting crowds were
increasing. A line of men and women,
standing four abreast, stretched four
blocks down the street from the Con-
way Building, when those about MN
finally decided the whole day would be
consumed unless they interfered. SO
double guard was set about the build
ing, the doors were locked and Mr.
Hughes and Senator Sherman were
whisked out through private exit IN
the rear. 1t was not until the Hughes
automobile had disappeared down the
street toward the Blackstone Hotel
that a diplomatic message was sent
to those waiting in the street, IN
which they were told the interrupted
hand shaking would be resumed after
the evenings meeting.
To-day's programme was strenuous
one. Mr.. and Mrs. Hughes cut one
hour from the programme by break
fasting in their car. Later, 1t was
discovered he had broken the heart
of the Blackstone Hotels chef, who
had prepared a menu from his own
private book of Presidential recipes
especially for the occasion.

not take "Spoky," the Federal amend

women Of the Congressional Union at
Snokane. Wash. "Spoky" has become
a political barometer. He always goes

nomic independence Of this country.
We have learned a few things of late.
Those that were talking tariff for rev.
enue only are now whispering very
softly about a tariff commission. A
little while ago we heard in the Demo
cratic platform of 1912 that 1t was con-
trary TO the Constitution OF the United
States 10 have a protective tariff. That
was in effect-of course not in words,
but the words mean simply this-they
say, in effect now that the European
war has changed the Constitution OF
the United States.
"They have been preaching a doctrine
for generations which, looking at what
they call the economic revolution pro-
duced by the great conflict abroad,
they hardly utter to-day. But do you
think they are converted? Don't you
trust them a little minute with pro-
tecting American industry! They
haven't got it in the bones, and they
go up TO il like skittish horse TO

cent protectionist measure out OF

Mr.. Hughes praised the Republican
party as "the great national party and,
in conclusion, took up and criticised
the Administration Mexican policy.
Locked doors and quickly devised
police strategy were necessary to save
Mr. Hughes from the thousands Of en-
thusiastic men and women who sought
20 shake his hand at the noon recep-
ton at the Conway Building. The can
didate had said, on his arrival here,
that he would be pleased to shake the
hand of any and all corners. The
trouble was, his local committee took
him at his word. 1t is estimated that
two thousand persons were in line
when Mr. Hughes, hanked by the smil-
ing Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman.

was not Edith Mead. He dropped
her hand as If it burned him.

way, in the few days since we met"
she was saying in her soft voice SO

when we first met in front of the
Waldrons, that afternoon, judged you
were impetuous," she laughed.
Here was a clew. Bramley racked
his brain to recall whom he had met
that day. He remembered Edith and
three college friends had just alight-
ed from a motor as he and Dick Cal
vim were passing the Waldrons' house,
where the girls were to attend a re-
ception. Edith had presented them
to the girls, who were swathed in au-
to wells. He had not caught their
names when introduced, nor did they
make much impression. For was not
Edith Mead there? Where she was
nothing else had mattered to Bram-
ley for long time. Now he had won
a near-acceptance from another girl
whose name he did not know. He
wiped the cold perspiration from his
forehead.

he calculated, when out of hearing.
After making such break, couldn't
speak up and tell the girl I'd made a
mistake! must find Dick Calvin and
learn her name; then think up some
decent way out of it ALL"
But he was not to solve the mys-
terry that night, nor for many others.
Dick Calvin had already gone, and he
could find no one else who knew her.
The real Edith Mead was dancing
with a young millionaire from Pitts
burg, and when the waltz was over
she was surrounded with an admiring
coterie; so there was no chance to
speak with her alone.
He had spoken the truth about his
projected business trip. He was
obliged to catch an early train for Chi
cago next morning, where his work
detained him much longer than he had
anticipated.
When he reached home he found an
invitation from the waldrons to at
tend a dinner they were giving that
evening.

them on a towel afterward. Then he
took her into his spare room
You're quite safe here" he said in
q low voice. Nobody saw you come
in. You can stay as long as you want
to-"
She crouched in corner, glaring at
him like a hunted beast. He hest
tated, then he closed and bolted the
window and withdrew, leaving the
door open.
For half an hour he waited, fearing
that he would hear the bolt snap, that
she would try to plunge down into the
court below. But hardly a sound
came from the room. When at last he
returned she was lying ON the floor
asleep.
He placed her on the couch and she
did not awaken Her sleep was of
profound exhaustion. All night Cray
sat up, waiting. Sometimes he stole
in to look at her, but she never
stirred. 1t was not till the sun was
well up that he heard her moving.
She came forward unsteadily and
looked in at him as he sat by the
window.
Where am -" she cried. "Who
are your"
Cray rose and took her by the
hands. Il am friend" he answered.
You are safe here-safe to come or
to CO."
She burst into hysterical sobbing.
When at last he had quieted her the
girl told Cray her story.
She had met a man in her home in
Virginia, three months before He
had asked her to be his wife, Her
parents mistrusted him; she followed
him stealthily. to learn too late that
all that had been said about him was
true. He was a gambler, swindler.
She remembered those three months
with loathing. Her horror of him had
grown. He had deceived her with a
mock ceremony. lied to her-at last
she had learned that he had a wife
already.

Suddenly, as he leaned out, survey

how many thousand lives ran on in

building opposite, on the fifth floor,
on level with his. Behind a drawn
shade he saw the silhouette of a man.
He was STOPPING over a table and,
as Cray watched. he saw the shadow
of woman behind him. Suddenly her
hand plunged downward The elon-

The woman stood looking at him for

triumph, she flung the poniard out of
the window, raising the shade little.
Cray heard metallic tinkle in the
court below. Then followed darkness.
He leaned out, astounded at what
he had seen and hardly believing it
real. How long he waited he did not
know. Suddenly his bell rang.
He went out into the passage and
saw. standing outside the door, one of
the most beautiful women whom he

pleaded.
