CANDIDATE HUGHES
IS REAL DIPLOMAT
Managed to Please Both
Sides of the Equal Suf-
frage Question.

NEW YORK. July S.-charles
Evans Hughes, Republican presiden-
tial nominee, had a number of callers
at the Hotel Astor yesterday, but the
one who attracted the most attention
was John Wanamaker, and incident
to his visit there was rumor that
Mr.. Wanamaker would become the
campaign treasurer. Mr.. Wanamak-
err declared later. however, that the
position had not been offered to him.
For nearly an hour Mr.. Hughes
conferred with Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait, Mrs. Norman De R. Whitehouse
and DR.. Anna Shaw and his Views on
the woman suffrage issue were gone
over. 1t was a satisfactory confer
ence, according to Mrs. Gait. who
added in reply to question that as
surances received we're very much
more favorable than those the wo-
men have from the Democratic party.
Mr.. Hughes left the city last even.
ing and arrived at Bridgehampton
shortly before o'clock, being met at
the station by Mrs. Hughes and their
youngest daughter, Elizabeth. He
drove at once to Tromedden. For
today the nominee has no ap.
pointment. but will drive to the

rounded up the other girls and started
down the broad steps.
What's the matter. Madge? Don't
you like Tom? whispered Dolly.

Madge, but don't see why We should
coddle him SO. We could have done
oil this and more IL he hadn't come,
so why let him think he is the only
source Of happiness for US?
Dolly laughed and ran ahead to be
first In line as they reached path
leading from the orchard into the ra-
vine. Madge was the last in line. and
instead Of following the others, turned
into path leading TO the left where
she could see tiny stream of clear
water pouring from a spring. The
voices Of the others sounded farther
and farther away. and suddenly there
came quick thunder clap that brought
surprised screams from the girls and
started them back up the steep path.

others made quick start, but step.

Tom. and IN scout around down this
path. A moment later the girls were
In sight Of the house and running q
race with the fastspreading dark cloud
that shot lightning almost constantly.
In another moment. Tom had found
ldadge, discovered her injury, and In
spite Of her vigorous and even angry
protests, picked her up In his arms
and started up the path IN long, quick
strides.
As they reached the orchard, scat
tering hailstones began to pelt them
like pebbles from slingshot. Under q
big apple tree, Tom let Madge slip to
her feet and removing his coat, made
covering for their heads while he
stood on the side to protect her from
the winddriven hail and rain. The
shower passed as suddenly as It came,
and as Madge looked up into Toms
eyes. even the darkening twilight
could not hide the surrender in her
own eyes.
I'm SO sorry to have been both rude
and troublesome, she said simply, for
It was all the result Of my determine.
ton not to let you be nice to me.
! I'm sorry only for your spratned an.
kle. said Tom. Shall we hurry on and
call doctor?
A doctor may not be necessary, said
Madge. but We must hurry to put poor
Mrs. Estes out Of suspense. Let me
walk, though.
No; It might seriously aggravate
! the injury. Toms tone was positive
and Madge's protests were as weak
now as they had been strong a little
while before.
Although young woman ostwenty-
five with fine physique is not light
burden even for an athletic man Of
thirtyfour, Tom was not glad when
they reached the veranda and were
surrounded by their distressed hostess
and her excited guests.
The theory Of safety in numbers
doesn't interest him nowadays. for he
says that instead OF safety first, he
prefers happiness first.
