CHAPTER LVIII.

For few days l felt that life was
really worth living-life with Clifford,
l mean.
During this time l was careful not to
cross him in any way, not to disagree
with him in anything; and to mould my
desire according to his wishes. This is
not an easy task, especially for one
brought up as 1 had been. He had not
been out but two evenings in a week,
and then had come home before mid
night--an unusual procedure for him. 1
asked no questions as to where he had
teen. although il was hard to restrain
myself. Once he volunteered the infor-
nation that he had been playing cards
with Hal Lockwood.
"Hal had rotten luck," Clifford
smiled grimly as he said it.
"But you are such good player
/ flattered.
81 IN not a bad player, but no one
can win unless they hold a few decent
cards. he replied, but could see that
he was pleased to be flattered. was
learning wisdom; learning to manage
him, l thought.
l once more believed that Clifford
was going to be different Yet had an
uneasy feeling that it was my attitude,
my meekness. my self-effacement. which
had kept him SO pleasant. Could keep
il up indefinitelys i would try, even
though il proved irksome.

IS THE COLONEL PLAYING SQUARE +?

There is more than a suspicion among politicians that
Colonel Roosevelt is not anxious to have Candidate
Hughes elected he pretends to be- At the beginning of
the campaign the German vote largely in favor of
Hughes but it is no longer and that it is is due
to the bitter attacks President Wilson for not being
the leading issue in of his speeches. and there
for the suspicion that he did deliberately for the
purpose of inurng Mr. Hughes The colonel has an idea
that he is the only person with whom the affairs of the
United States perfectly safe and he is possessed of
weening desire to again occupy the White House.
He realizes that should Mr.. Hughes be elected under
average circumstances he would be reelected and this
would forever put end to the coones aspirations 1t
is possible the Capital Journal made mistake in
pairing the colones actions to those of Joab toward
Amasa in his treatment of the progressive party 1t
should have saved the comparison to illustrate his treat

while he is doing his own work.

So after Mr.. Hughes has assured his
eastern friends of his patriotic aud
war like anti-German spirit, he goes
west and assures his western propa-
gandist friends in Milwaukee OF his
heroic anti, English attitudes he would
assume when he should happen to be-
come president-catering to both, the
pro-German and the pro-allied, sides
which hold grudge against President
Wilson, because it becomes ever mora
evident that he belongs to neither. The
wonderful and fearful candidate hands
out promises TO all who still believe in
such given by an office seeker who is
fighting desperately and despairingly
against his more than probable defeat.
The question does not seem to enter
the heads of his German propagandist
friends: How can he fulfill these prom
ises? Would Hughes want to declare
war on the whole world theno Can he
do anything better than President Viii
son did-keeping America out of trou-
BILE? All Hughes has promised is that
he is ready to kick up any amount of
trouble for the United States. And his
supporters from Oyster Bay and Wall
Street will see to it that it is not
trouble with England, their "mother
country where their "cousins" are
and their money interests, too, but with
the fatherland of the propagandists.
The propagandsts al. the republi-
can German language press cannot have
been deceived by Hughes. If they are
not, then what they try to do is to
deceive the German-American voters in
to the belief that Hughes is their
