Gloria could not answer She hung
her pretty head and wriggled back
a little farther into the grandfather's
chair. Perhaps she did not want to
end the luxury Of keeping him
anxious with too immediate yes. He
would not daily. He picked up the
little table that stood between them
and putting it aside dropped on one
knee before her, like the true artist

arms about her and she closed her
eyes and gave him her lips.
They heard the untimcly hostess
approaching and he sat back in his
chair twirling his mustaehe, while
Gloria tried TO look as If nothing had
happened Nothing had happened ex-
cept a short flight to heaven.

and took his defeat like the true sport

The radiance Of his child and the
evident sincerity Of Freneau almost

hopeful for her happiness. One stip-

Phe chill did not abate. In a panic
he telephoned from Gloria's room to
his old family physician DIR. Wake

reach him and be assured OF his i'm

was a fussy medical man OF the very
old school He had taken good care
Of the, Stafford family, but latterly

he recognized pneumonia without diff

word to Stafford and ordered in two

lar with the Staffords, father and
son, than ever before.
Days and nights Of narrowing fear

seem TO bribe death. The fever line
mounted on the nurses chart like a

DIR. Wakefield, he learned, was in

not mince matters or wait on pro-

Washington, March 7.-Colonel f.
NJ. House, who returned Sunday from
Europe. is understood to have told
President Wilson that he found no
more prospects for peace during his
recent visit TO the capitals of bellig-
erent nations than he did on his visit
last spring.
Colonel House returned from Eu-
rope Sunday after visiting Berlin,
London and Paris as special envoy
OF President Wilson.
Colonel House parted questions az
the status of the armed ship contro-
yersy with the statement that those
in Washington knew more about the
subject than he did. He absolutely
refused to discuss any pending diplo-
matte questions.
IL was understood today that Col
onel House expressed great admira-
ton for the way American diplo-
mats abroad were carrying on their
work.

slowed upon him

said, "and I deeply appreciate what he

Baker would not say anything in
connection with his attitude on the va

mitted himself publicly to any def
mite plan of preparedness, he is re-

sociates say that he is an advocate
OF the Swiss system Of military train

ponents that II does not mean mill

ocracy.
Baker recently sent the following
telegram to Senator Pomerene in
Washington:

MCULLOCH SAYS ELECTION FAIR.

Covington, KY, March I'm an
open letter, addressed to A. T. Hert
and three other Louisville men, who
are delegates to the Republican ma
tional convention in Chicago, J. W.
McCulloch of Greensboro, defends the
legality Of his election as Republican
national committeeman and refuses to
vacate that office.
The letter was given out here last
night, following a conference held
at the homo of II. p. Ernst, Mr.. Nc
Culloch, Mr.. Ernst, e. T. Franks,
Lawson Reno and Il. w. Slack and
other Republicans were present at
the meeting II is in reply to one
addressed to Mr.. McCulloch by Mr.
Hert, William Marshall Bullitt, A. E.
Wilson and William Hepburn, in
which the writer's demanded that Mr.
McCulloch disavow the action of the
delegates and allow the Kentucky del
egation to elect national commit
teeman at the convention in Chicago.
Mr.. McCulloch takes the view that
the action of the body in electing him
committeeman was in accordance with
the party law. that a majority of the
body was present qualified to act, and
that there was no irregularity about
it. He further asserts that the sup
porters of Mr.. Hert tried to break by
quorum and prevent an election by
remaining away from the meeting;
that the Hert delegates had every
opportunity to attend the meeting. but
were absent of their own accord.
