afternoon. He looked so glum over it
that AliX consented TO lunch with him
and see him of.
He came for her the next day lit
tie late but, when she saw his face,
she felt shock and forgot to chide
him. Her eyes mlrrored the trouble in
his but somehow she felt that it was
not the parting from her that had
turned him pale in n night. He helped
her into the waiting cab and then
sank back into his corner.
AliX laid her gloved hand on his
knee. what is it?" she asked.
Collingeford's face twitched. He
fixed his eyes through the cab window
on nothing. "Bodsky," he said, lis

"Oh," cried Alix. I'm sorry. I'm
sorry for you" She did not try to
say any more. She had put all her
heart into those few words.
COllingeford drew out his pocket
book and took from 1t soiled sheet
of paper-a leaf torn from field note

bling hand. 81 wouldn't show it to

and pounded on the door but nobody

He paced up and down the veranda
saying to himself, "a little roll Of blue

He stumbled on the saddle that Lieber
had sent him. It held his eye. He
picked up the bride and ran down to

Each followed the train OF his own
thoughts until they reached the pier
Alix did not get out of the cab. She
leaned from the window and said
good-by. Colllngeford held her hand
and her eyes long. then he turned
away and hurried into the elevator.
When Alix got home she sat down
and wrote a note to Alan-just a line
to tell him that she was ready and
wished to see him. He came the fol-
lowing afternoon. At first he was
little awkward, straining just the least
too much not to betray his nervous
ness. But the sight Of Alix put him
at his ease. she had become a true
woman-true In the sense of honor
and she was tempered as steel, but
soft with the softness of motherhood.

"No, I'm not on the top of the wave

The calm which had settled on Alix'
was beginning to miss Gerry less. She
was still debating the point when Col
lingeford arrived in the city. Upon
arrival he called on Mrs. ]. Y. and
then on Nance and then, of course, on
Alix. As she came into the room he
felt a strange futtering in his throat.
1t stopped his words Of greeting. He
suffered and stared. He had never
felt so glad at the sight of any one.
What are you looking so dismayed

holding out her hand. HAS a short

Collingeford recovered himself. "Nei-

lection, not imperfection, that dis
mays a man. You call IL a short year?"
he added gravely. Its been an eter-
nity-not YEAR,

from her tone Of badinage. She looked
him over critically. "well," she said,

why. I'll tell you. II knows. That's
the way it was with Bodsky, He only
tOwered-knew-understood. IL that

They were silent. Presently Col
llngeford helped her out and together
they passed through the rich foyer the
latticed palm room, and up the steps
into the latest cry in dining rooms. A
little table in the far corner had been
reserved for them. AS they crossed
the crowded room hush fell over the
tables. Some looked and were silent
because AlX was beautiful and dain-
tily gowned and COllingeford all that a
man should be, but those who knew
looked because Alix was Alix and Col

fell to whispering, predicting a match

Alix paused. Go on said Collnge-

But do not tower like your Bod

at the slip.
A shadow seemed to fall on them.
The rooms high. delicate paneing and
to hover over a suddenly darkened
emptiness. The hum and chatter Of
the throng became little and far away.
COllingeford and AiX felt as though
they sat alone and get not alone. Col
lingeford nodded as though Alix had
spoken. YES" he said, "Bodsky has

tensely, mot to see that the bars are

He turned under her hands and she
let him go. He stood looking out of

states of the South to divide the votes
of the delegates from those states be
tween Fairbanks, Weeks and Burton.
IT is declared that the plan is to pick
men as delegates who derive personal
profit by the reduction made in south
ern representation. These men will act
cautiously in order to improve the rep
]utation of that section in the Repub-
lican party, and particularly in the ma
tional committee. There will be no
contests to speak of before the commit
tee, so that that body will be able to
operate without any af the steam-roller
tactics that disgraeed it in 1912. At
this time the disposition is to divide
the delegates from Alabama, Tennes-
see, Virginia, Georgia, and Mississippi,
so as to give Burton, Weeks and Fair
banks an equal share. 1t was intended
to include North Carolina in this
scheme of division, but reports are
that practically the entire delegation
from that state is for Roosevelt"
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1916-04-29

Crane, former Postmaster General
Hitchcock and William Barnes, Jr, of
New York are pressing Hughes, not be-
cause they love him, but because they
hate Colonel Roosevelt.
cit is generally admitted that either
Roosevelt or Hughes will be the nomi-
nee, though the several actual candi-
dates are hopeful the lightning may
strike the rods they have run up. The
character of the candidates, no less
than the delegates which are being
elected and selected, assures, it is
pointed out, the domination of the Re
publican convention by the anti Roose-
welt element. Weeks, Burton, Fair
banks, and Sherman would like the
c~olonel's support, but no one of them
would back him for the nomination
under any circumstances. Senator Cum
Minis, who, while remaining a Repub-
lican, voted for the Colonel in 1912, is
the single real Progressive out for the
nomination, but he has not the
strength throughout the country to as
sure him the nomination.
cit is claimed there is a general
agreement in force in the several
