smoothed down his tumbled hair as
best he could.
Then he pushed open the doors
and stepped calmly into the cock
pit, with the gravcst of bows to the
startled young woman by the tiller.
And startled she undoubtedly was
so startled, indeed, that sheet and
tillcr alike slipped from her grasp,
and the knockabout, left to its own
devices, came suddenly into the wind
with a great Tapping of sail and
rafting Of sheets.
''Oh!" said the girl in amazcmcnt.
Again McVickcr bowed.
"loull pardon my intrusion,
won't you?" said he. "1'm mighty
sorry l frightened you; but, you sec,
there was really no other way of
making my presence known, and it
would have been a shame to miss
this chance Of a sail with YOU"
"Whcre did you come from, and
what on earth are you doing hcrc?"
she asked. 10 cover her evident
embarrassment she began trimming
in the sheet and putting the neglect
ed boat on her curse again.
81 came from the cuddy,' said
McVicker grave]y, "and, as to what
[ am doing, well, I am waiting at
present for an invitation to finish
your sail with you"
GLOW do you happen to be aboard
this knockabout, ~anyway:?" she per-
sisted.
"Well, I believe I own her. At
any rate, there are papers purport-
ing to be a bill Of sale Of her in my
desk at home"
"Your boat? :" she cried in amaze
mcnt. "You say this is your boat?'
lie nodded, smiling.
"Thcn somebody has made 4 mis-
take. Mr.. Gray told me to take
this boat, the one at the third buoy
from the pier"
"Under ordinary circumstances
the boat at the third buoy would
have been Gray's,' said McVickcr.
But Hanson just went out awhile
ago, and Pm afraid you've not taken
the empty mooring buoy, which he
left, into your reckoning"
"And I've come aboard your boat
and taken you out, them" she said,
with an odd expression curling her
lips. "Why didn't you tell me when
[ first came aboard z"
"To tell the truth, l was asleep
in the cuddy," said he. 81 made my
presence known as soon as | was
awakened by the Stating Of the
sail"
"Wcl]," she said, with decision,
I'll take you back, with profusc
apologies. III leave the boat at the
mornings just as found her, and
then you TAI finish your interrupted
nap" she ended, with a knocking
laugh.
"Look here" said McViiker; "you
have kidnapped me, to say nothing
of laying yourself liable to charges
Of piracy in stealing my boat. |

"What are thcy::' she asked, with
a light laugh.
"In the first place | demand that
you finish your sail in this boat"
said he. "And in the second place.

What is the second condition?:'
she asked.
"Ihc second condition is that YOU

A REPUBLICAN BOOMERANG.

Nothing so fOrcibly reveals the des-
perate situation at the Republican Ma
tional Campaign Headquarters as their
attempt to discredit President Wilson's
Mexican policy by Movie" picture
directed by a pardoned convict whose
idea of thrill" is a scene showing
nuns being ravished and whose con-
ceptiOn Of patriotism is the President
asleep at his desk.
But after all the principal is respon-
sibe for this agent. Hal Reid was on
~ trying to earn the $35, 900 appropriate
ed by the Republican National Com
mttee for film which now stinks so
loud they don't want to get within
smelling distance of it. And they ex-
cuse themselves by saying they never
knew it would be so rotten! The point
is this--it wasn't too rotten If they
could get away with it. They were
caught in the act Of trying to put it
over" They were caught in the act
of trying to deny responsibility for it.
Does anyone believe that Hal Reid
went ahead with the faxed film before
he had had his scenario o. KID by
someone in authority at Republican
Headquarters? Everett Colby's i'll
dorsement, "It's a corker," is sufficient
proof of this.
That it was in execrable taste OF
even ACKNOWLEDGMENT was that to
this crowd which has nothing to spend
but money! The whole sOrdid affair
is a fit parallel to the Rum, ROmanisn
and Rebellion campaign which proved
such boomerang to the parties that
started it.
What can you expect of a party
which campaigns on abuse, vilifica
ton, SANDER, innuendo, and lies? We
agree with the Brooklyn Eagle il won
derng 'if there was anything in this
film that was not more than suggested
by Col. Roosevelt in his many attacks
upon the Presidents Mexican policy
He has proclaimed President Wilson
responsible for the conditions that he
described. Other have done thu
same. In view of this, why should thu
playwright be blamed for adapting thu
material to his medium? Can it bt
that the vilifiers of the President hat

This form of attack appears to mos
people,
The exposure of the character o
this putrid film should, says the Eve
ming World, prove sharp lesson tt
Republican campaign leaders. '"Th'
whole affair puts a stigma upon Re
publican campaign methods"
