May Durgan shivered dramatically. "And
so they're coming back to your

well, advice never did you much good.
Do you remember the day told you not
to get divorce because you'd just be
playing Joe into her hands? But I'm

not you'll take it, The games in your

over May Durgan's. "That's why I'm
bringing him."
How're you fixed, dearie?"
"Oh, I'm all right.
She strove to make her tone gay, but
the query flung her back into the nervous
tension that May Durgan's coming had
relaxed. Even as May talked on, ladling
out advice with the eXactness of a chef
dispensing soups, Sally gripped her pro-
gram with a ferceness of fear lest her
wagering betray her trust in it. Through
the intermissions and the second and
third races she gave back brief mono-
syllables to her companions comments;
but just before the Merchants she inter-
rupted the other woman.
"You don't think there's any chance

her.

"Yes; but he told me Lenox to win,

"Well-"

RUT, in spite of her assurances, she
grew cold with fear as the moments
sped toward the hour set for the Mer-
chants on the white clock beside the track.
What if LenoX should be scratched?
What if Ellis had not been sure?
A great sigh of relief rushed from her
as she saw Lenox's name go on the board

wiring May Durgan's neck when she heard
her yell for Kane and Sir John. "Lenox,

With quiver of overdrawn tension the

OBJECT To POPE
ON PEACE BOARD
Italy Likely to Enter Protest
Against Participation of
Vatican in Negotiations.

international News Service:
ROME, May 22.-There are strong
indications that Italy will protest Wig
orously against participation in
peace negotiations by the vatican.
The two questions whether the
pope has a right TO be admitted TO
the peace congress, and whether
Italy will formally oppose the admis-
sion of delegates Of the Holy See,
are the subjects of a highly inter
esting debate on the part of a num-
Der Of prominent men in public life.
The conclusion arrived at shows
that only the first question can be
settled in a way entirely favorable
to the vatican. AS to the second it
appears that besides being of an ex-
tremely delicate nature it is also
doubtful of solution.
Signor Ernesto Nathan, former
mayor Of Rome and leader of the
anti clerical party in Italy. main
tains that the pope, as head of a
church. has no place in a peace con-
gress unless the belligerent nations
are ready to grant the same priv
ileges to heads of other churches
whose communicates have i'm small
or large numbers participated in the
war
With regard to the second question
Signor Nathan holds that the pres
ence Of delegates from the Holy See
would be both an offense TO Italy
and dangerous 70 Italy's interests.
View of POpe's Rights.
Sen. Eugene Valli. professor of in
ternational law at the University of
Rome. takes the view that the pope,
holding rights not possessed by the
archbishop OF Canterbury and the
heads of other churches. could be
admitted to the peace congress as
the dispossessed ruler of the church
states.
Sen. Valli also contends that the
pope could ask for admission to the
peace congress as the highest relig-
ious authority possessing a univer-
sal character, and in order TO secure
such measures as TO guarantee It's
a bsolute independence. as we'll as the
