 I'm glad you hadn't started when l met you," returned Allison, steering around a sharp stone with the firm ac- curacy which Gail had so often ad- mired 'I never had so stinging re- proof as that little why. It did me more good than any sermon l ever heard"
 Gail looked at him in questioning perpleXity. She could not gather what he meant, but she had sense of some thing big. and once more she was i'm. pressed with the tremendous reserve force in the man. His clear gray eyes very symbol of him seemed to be this driving; top speed. a long road. a steady hand, a cool determination. a sublime disregard of hills and valleys which made them all level road.
 Why? That word set me out on a new principle that never. while l had strength in me. would I consider my work finished, no matter how great ar achievement had made. l am still al work"
 Something within her leaped up in answer to the thrill of exultation in his voice. To have been the inspiration ot great deeds, even by so simple an agency as the accidental use of a word, was in itself an exalting thing. though an humbling one, too. And an-ac of that as she looked at him.

No Peace Till Kaiser
Sues For 1t, President
of France Insists in Talk

Nancy, May Is. = President Poin-
caire. in an address here yesterday,
responded to Germany's declaration re-
garding peace contained in the Ger
man reply to the American note.
France does not want Germany to
tender peace. said the President, but
wants her adversary TO ask for peace"
The President then made known
clearly the only kind of peace which
would be acceptable to France. The
address was delivered at the Molitor
garrison before large number of Lor-
raine refugees to whom the President,
after expressing his sympathies and re-
newing promises of solicitude and pro-
lection, said:
France will not expose her sons to
the dangers of new aggressions. The
Central Empires haunted by remorse
for having brought on the war and ter
rified by the Indignation and hatred
they have stirred up in mankind, are
trying to-day to make the world be-
lieve that the Entente Allies alone are
responsible for the prolongation of
hostilities-a dull irony which will de-
ceiVe no one.

\ Remarkable Campaign
The campaign closing tonight will
long be remembered for the bitter
ness of the contests within the Re-
publican and Democratic parties. The
results will not only affect the careers
of national figures, but also have
bearing upon the future of the Re-
publican party because of the over
lures for reunion of the elements
which divided four years ago. On the
Democratic side the reorganization OF
the party five years ago is to be on
trial.
Political activity of quite an un-
usual nature has been manifested by
leaders and partisans of the opposing
factions in the two parties. Speeches,
statements and editorials have been
used together with advertisements,
circulars. leaflets and handbills have
been put out several times a day and

has been the most effective type has
