his entire experience as a Presidential

there were at least 10000 people as

He spoke mainly on Americanism, the
tariff, the ship-purchase bill and indus

Adamson law was enacted.

Later came returns from the Sena-

Colorado, wired him congratulations
and thanks for his speeches. This was
the only communication between the
two men which found its way into print
during the campaign.

and nephew had been face to face
since their memorable interview at
Maple House.
j. y. Wayne was aging. He had
lived hard and showed it, but there
was no weakness in his age and he
met Alan without compromise. He
nodded toward a chair but did not of
fer his hand. When he spoke his voice
was low and modulated to the tone Of
business. Il wanted to see you to
tell you that you have overpaid your
account with me. The balance has
been put to your credit. You can see
the cashier about that. | want to tell
you, too, that l have made too much
money myself to admire a surprising
capacity in that direction in anyone
else.
Don't think that l don't appreciate
the significance of your wiping out a
debt which you incurred unwittingly.
l can see that you had to do it be-
cause a Wayne must carry his head
high In his own eyes. But" and here
j. US eyes left his nephew's express
slonless face and looked vaguely into
the shadows of the room. His voice
took lower key. with all your sac
rifice to pride you have failed in pride.
You have not been proud in the things
that count"
J. US voice fell still lower. His
words hung and dropped in the silence
of the room like the PARKWAY throb of
great bell on still night. "Yester-
day Glenn was crying because you had
not come to the house. l try to think,
Alan, that it's because Glen is there
that you have not come. If | could
think that" J. US eyes came slowly
back to Alan's face. A dull red was
burning there. J. Y. went on. shame
is precious thing to a man. Differ
ent creeds-different circumstances
carry us to various lengths. Ethics
are elastic today as never before but,
as long as shame holds bit of ground
in mans battlefield, he can win back
to any height"
For long minute there was silence,
then on common impulse they both
arose. Alan's eyes were wide open
and moist. He held out his hand and

So she told him and Collingeford

Patchouli for Moth Prevention.

The fragrant dried roots of the
patChOuli, reports Special Agent Gar
rard Harris, are held in great esteem
in Porto Rico, and it is the general be-
lief in the island that when placed
among clothing and in closets they are
a sure preventive of moths. In the
earlier days of the century the per-
fume of patchouli was in great favor.
1t is believed that, If the properties
of patchoui were more generally
known, there would be a demand for
it in the United States in preference
to moth balls. 1t should have as much
vogue as lavender for putting between
sheets and placing among garments;
and if it were manufactured or
shredded into a finer substance and
sold in small bags, it would be a de-
Cided novelty that undoubtedly would
prove popular. Great quantities of it
grow wild in Porto Rico, and demand
for it from the United States would
afford employment to many of the poor
country people. In Porto Rico natives
bring the patchouli to town and sell it
in small bundles that retail at two to
five cents.

There is no stronger proof of mans
evolution than his aptability-his

From the very beginning, the necessi-
ties of his new life called to GerryS

ing relics Of slave days. They had
been born here. They had gone with
emancipation, but they had come
back. The name of the plantation was
Fazenda Flores. To them it was the

come back because freedom was here.
They needed someone to serve. Mar

But before her day water had become

Alan flushed angrily. He had no re-
tort for the old man. He sat sullenly
silent.
The captain colored too. That's
right" he said with a surprising touch
of chOler. "Sulk. Every badly broken
colt sulks at the grip of the bit What
you need, young man, is a touch of

And then the old man revealed a
surprising knowledge of words that
could lash. At first Alan was indif-

nized himself beaten at his own game.
He came ont of that interview thor
oughly chastened and with an alto
gether new respect for the old captain.
The captains code was peculiar, to
say the least, and held the passionate
pilgrim in ample regard but, as he
pointed out to Alan, it was code of
honor. 1t played game within rules.
He further remarked that the hawk
was a bird of evil repute but person
ally he preferred him to the eagle that
fouls its own nest. There were other
| pregnant phrases that hung in Alan's
mind for some time and half awak-
ened him to realization of where he
stood. Many a man, propped up by
the sustaining atmosphere of a narrow
world, has passed merciess judgment

Alan Wayne had been away for a
year. He had not returned from Mont
real but had gone one from there TO
work in South America and, later, to
Africa.
He had been in town for several
days when he met the judge one after
noon in November on the avenue.
Judge" he said without preamble,
whats this l hear about Gerry dis
appearing"
tits true said the judge and add
ed grimly, he disappeared the day you
went to Montreal"
Alan colored and his face turned
grave. Il am sorry" he said. 81
didn't know it."
Sorry for what?' asked the judge,
but Alan refused the opening and the
judge hardly regretted it. They were
not in tune and he felt it. His heart
was heavy over Alan for his own sake.
He had broken what the judge had
long reverenced as a charmed circle.
He had exiled himself from that which
should have been dearer to him than
his hearts desire. The judge Won
dered If he realized it. You're not
going out to Red HIP he asked, try
ing to make the question casual.
Alan glanced at him sharply. What
was the judge after? "No," he said
after pause, 81 shall not break the
communal coma of Red Hill for some
time. Pm off again. McDale & Nc
Dale have loaned me to Ellinson's. I've
| become sort of poohbah on construc-
ton in Africa. They get premium
for lending me-"
Al&n's speech habltually drawled ex-
cept for an occasional retort that came
like the crack of whip. The judge
looked him over curiously. Alan's
dress was almost too refined. His per-
son was as well cared for as a wom-
ans. Every detail about him was d
studied negation of work, utility, serv-
ice. The judge thought of Collinge-
ford's story and wondered.
They walked in silence for some
time and then Alan took his leave. The
judge followed his erect figure with
solemn eyes. Alan had deteriorated.
One cannot be the fly in the amber of
more than one womans memory with
out clouding ones own SOUL and a
clouded soul has its peculiar clrcum-
ambiency which the clean can feel.
The judge felt it in Alan and WINGED.
If Alan did not go to the Hill, the
Hill, in certain measure, came to Alan.
The next afternoon found the captain
once more established in his chair in
window at the club with Alan be-
side him. The captain had not changed.
His hair was in the same state of
white insurgency, his eyes bulged in
the same old way, and he still pulled
when he talked. His garb was identi-
cal and awakened the usual interest
