MAGAZINE SECTION for November 26, 1916

"She's got to do as | say" she NUT
tered, as she reviewed the contingency of
rebellion in the yellow-haired woman.
"She amt got any money. I'm paying
the bills"
Downstairs she let Saunders, the derelct
lodger of her constant dunning, go by
without question, although his very as
sumption of jauntiness told her of his per-
sistent penury She knocked at the door
of Mrs. Wiletts' room to leave sun

dragged her through the precarious list

"That's for Jenny she said. "She's

you?" lackadaisical Mrs. Wiletts in
quired.
mo, thank God" Sally started to say;
but newborn thought stopped her usual
answer. What if she had child with
Joe's eyes and Joes smile and Joes
rumpled hair? Might not the dragging
gering heart? NO" she told herself; "not
even a kid like Joe would fill the bill It's
Joe for me, and nobody else"
SHE went upstairs again to her own
room, a hot, bare space under the roof,
lightened only by silver-framed photo
graph and a singing canary. The bird
was warbling trillingly as Sally opened the
door.
I'm not so bad at that myself" she
said, and began to sing the scale in
competition almost gay. The canary fell
into silence, but Sally went into song.
"Baby dear, listen here,
I'm afraid to go home in the dark,
she sang.

waning light from the window. 1t was

through it Pat Mangan stood, with CLINT
in his eyes that raised barriers against
question, while Sally Gates went through
the turnstile to the waiting train.
ALL the way back to the city, as the
train crawled alongside the winding
canals, Sally Gates built her air castles
out of the substance of the green bills.
Over and over she counted the cost of
luxuries that Joe would need Labor-
ously, with a stubby pencil, upon the back
of the envelop that had brought her
Violet's message, she listed the delicacies
that had once been Joe's delight. Mush-
rooms and cantaloupes, chicken and por-
terhouse steak, artichokes and Edam
cheese rioted through her fancy. "And
little champagne" she decided She put
aside her recolections for the urgency of
the present rejoicing in her ability to be
able to provide for Joe through the brief
time fate was allotting to her.
"Two weeks, she kept saying
two weeks. But | married him two weeks
after | met him."
In glow of hope as roseate as the sky
before sunrise, she set out on her mission
of making ready for Joe Gates return.
With the recklessness of a winner in war;
brides, she ordered from Michigan Ave-
nue. commissary gourmand's delights that
forced her to summon cab to bear her
and her purchases to the shabby North
Side rooming-house.
Once in the house, she went through
the rooms in flutter of excitement, dust
,I eb
ing out few treasured bits of silver,
telephoning an employment agency for a
cook and housemaid, dragging every
presentable piece of furniture in the place
to the suite she had chosen for Joe. For
Violet she had set aside room on an
upper floor.

"No; we owe you. You see, | know
little bit more about this game than you
do, and when you told me that Ellis said

Varley books. Here's your roll.
He handed her a roll sandwich of the
sort the vendors had been peddling, but
with greenbacks substituted for it's origi-
nal frankfurter. The sight of the money
stuffed within the cover designed to dis
guise the transaction from official vigil
lance, and the realization that chance had
brought her consummation of her desire,
swept Sally Gates into hysterical laughter.
With the roll grasped in her trembling
hands, she stood shaken by mirth that
was sorrows sister. Then, just as swiftly,
she began to cry.

just giving me this. | didn't win it.
Pat Mangan looked her squarely in the
eyes.
"You won it,, he told her.
Honest to God, Pat?"
Honest to God, Sally"
For a moment she stared back into his
keen blue eyes, then took the greenbacks
from the sandwich and dropped them into
her purse.
"Some day. she said, "when people
forget what am now and remember what
used to be, you can tell the pikers that
you're the only man besides Joe that Sally
Gates ever kissed.
She lifted her lips to him with pride
that flashed her old daring.
Pat Mangan, with the knowledge that
a thousand men We're watching. swung
off his straw hat and took her kiss as

studied it now consideringly, asking her.
self if her love for Joe could have been
but shadow of her vanity in his power.
But something within her cried out
against the treason, telling her over and
over again that the old bond between Joe
and herself had been something deeper
and surer than the circumstance of health
or strength or prosperity or pride.
THE knowledge that the man whom she
had loved for his power and his glory
was now weak, helpless, almost for
gotten shell of what he had been, endeared
him to her as no other circumstance of
life could have done. Gazing upon the
man of blither times, Sally Gates came
to know herself as she had not done when
he had been with her; but with realiza-
ton came dread lest he might have found
in the other woman, through those days
and nights in the Western desert, all that
he sought from womankind.
"You can't care for her that way" she
told the man of the picture. at wouldn't
be square, But she set down the frame
tremblingly.
she went out of the house, fastening to
the railway station, only to find herself
twenty minutes early. In an agony OF
doubt and dread, radiated sometimes by
streaks of hopefulness, she paced the plat
form until the roar of the engine of the
east-bound overland thundered into the
train-shed, and left her shaken with terror.
"Get together" she urged herself.
you're like fighter who's afraid of the
fight"
AS if to steady herself by concrete
realization, she clutched her purse fran
tically as the train slowed to standstill.
There, on the platforms edge, forlorn,
Haunting figure out of the yesterdays, she
waited while the tide of incoming passen-
gers went by. The tide thnned at last to
a trickling stream, and Sally Gates was
giving up hope that the two for whom she
waited were to come, when she sensed,
rather than sighted, little commotion
down at the last car. Toward it, driven
by instinct, she fastened.
From the car platform the conductor
and the brakeman were lifting stretcher.
Beneath its blanket lay something slight
and still. Sally Gates, seeing the covered
form, felt within her the surge of mighty
yearning, the tidal wave of mothering
desire to take in her arms the man who
lay so quiet, so utterly helpless. Not
with the fire of her old love, with all it's
flaring passions and thrilling glories, but
with the bursting ache of new love that
transcended the other in its power and its
strength,-a love that had in it nothing
of self, but only an immolating splendor
Of sacrifce,-she waited breathlessly for
sight of the man whose image she had
cherished through anger and neglect and
the knowledge that he had set another
woman in her place. But, even as she
waited, she saw Violet Gates.
YELLOW haired her white face hag-
gard beneath a heavily plumed purple
hat, she was watching Sally with fearful,
tremulous glance that quivered with
hatred she could not conceal. With slow
scorn Sally gave back her stare, finging
into her gaze all the cumulative contempt
that time had taught her to feel toward
the shallow, treacherous, petty-souled
creature who had stolen from her that
thipp in life sha had most desired

gard beneath a heavily plumed purple
hat, she was watching Sally with fearful,
tremulous glance that quivered with
hatred she could not conceal. With slow
scorn Sally gave back her stare, finging
into her gaze all the cumulative contempt
that time had taught her to feel toward
the shallow, treacherous, petty-souled
creature who had stolen from her that
thing in life she had most desired.
Under the soaring iron of that look,
Violet Gates faltered until the woman she
had wronged felt rising within her the
swift knowledge that her rival had failed.
Within her shifting eyes Sally Gates read
the truth the yellow-haired woman strove
to conceal-the knowledge that, whatever
else Violet Gates had won from life, she
had not found what she sought.
The yellow-haired woman seemed to
draw herself up with an actual physical
effort as she spoke:
"I've got to talk to you before we take
him anywhere.
The trainmen were bearing the stretcher
toward the gates. Sally fell in after them,
driven by desire to keep as near as she

There exists In South Carolina an
organization or sembaance of one, self
styled the Union Republican party.
We are distinct from it and wish that
distinction clearly understood.
Our invitation to men of respecta-
bility to join the Progressive Republi-
can party and vote for it's electors in
November is based in part on the fact
that our counsels thus far have been
composed of men fit to give the well
come, and in this respect we intend
20 maintain our worthiness.
Whether the directions and the con-
troll of the governmental affairs of our
country through the agency of polit-
ical parties is the best and wisest way
OF doing things may be debata5le
Is. and has always been, our way. Two
great national parties vie with each
other for control. In almost overY
State II IL the same. If not nearly
balanced In voting strength there Is
invariably an opposing party organ
lied and alert to profit by the mis-
deeds of the party in power. In South
Carolina. however, one party has for
many years held undisputed sway. No
impartial observer will contend that
II should be so--this is not debata-
BILE question. 1t is wrong and from 1t
the State is suffering. We will not
here recount the abuses Of it's power
by the Democratic party Of South
Carolina, q single example of the hour
will suffice; there are men standing
1T this moment as the nominees for
high State offices whose personal in
tegrity have been openly impeached
by Democratic opponents in the recent
primary campaign. II strong Op-
posing party was on guard the domi
nant party would not dare place In
nomination men who could not refute
such charges--by doing so it would
invite almost certain defeat. Yet
these men are going to be elected.
Few men or women Of South Caro-
lima have ever heard national leader
