only matter of few hours, the doctor
said. Motioning to his sobbing friends,
he waited until they had crowded around
his bed to listen to his last words. He
gave careful directions for the DISPOSE
ton OF his belongings and outlined the
general features of his funeral, then he
murmured; Sand ! want you to put up

words carved on it Probably Cooler.x

said he, dismissing Maud in way that
would have caused the proud Mr.. Blith-
ers to reel with indignation.
A little later on, at the billiard
table, Mrs. King remarked, apropos
of nothing and quite out of a clear
sky. SO to speak:
"And she'll do anything her parents
command her to do; that's the worst
of it. If they order her to marry a
title she'll do it. That's the way she's
been brought up. I'm afraid"
The next day Count Quinnox and
King returned from the city. coming
up in a private car with Mr.. Blithers
himself.
"I'll have Maud drive me over this
afternoon" said Mr.. Blithers as they
parted at the station.
But Maud did not drive him over
that afternoon. The pride. Joy and
hope of the Blithers family fatty re-

before. Lou"
"Some silly notion about being

said his wife. "Heaven knows I've

the other day by the leading apOlogist
for this Administration that there was
not only departure from our time
honored policy with respect to full pro-
lection of our citizens, but that it was
a departure which might be regarded
with approval
''When our opponents sought Office
they suggested no such departure.
When they asked votes from the Amer
lean people they suggested no such re-
linouishment Of rights. Before election
our Americans were asked to go to all
parts of the world, serving humanity.
After election they are told that their
private interests-and | suppose life is
a public interest-do not concern the
Government. and the flag of their coun-
try seems simply an invitation to come
back as quick at possible"
Need of Tariff TO Save WOrkingman.
Another respect in which Mr.. Hughes
announced his intentions If elected
was with reference to the protective
tariff. He reiterated his views and de-
clared that such a tariff along sound
economic issues, would have been en-
acted IF we are to save our working
men from catastrophe
He assailed the Adamson law and
the principle II embodied of "surren
der to force" and repeated his declar-
alton that he stiod for "a strict scru-
tiny OF business organization by the
government" which. at the same time,
would be left free to encourage legit-
innate and wholesome business enter
prisees."
Prosperity Of Plain People.
"In this respect" he said. the pres
ent administration holds a contrary
policy. It has viewed enterprise with
susp' cion and has made the govern
ment brake to the wreels OF legiti-
mate industrial enterprise.
But I do not want to be President
/ that a few privileged persons may
grow rich" he declared. Il do not
wish to be President Of country
which aims It's policies to promote the
welfare OF a limited few. ] want to
zee the great plain people Of this coun-
| try prosperous
Mr.. Hughes was welcomed on his
arrival here by a crowd at the station
and by street crowds on the way to his
hotel. He will leave Boston early to-
day for a two-days' campaign In New
York State.

lieve that there Is not much foundation
for this idea. The fact is that the
French feel very bitter toward the Eng

brunt of the fighting, and that England
has not done her part. Among the
French soldiers returning from the front
one can hear much unfavorable com.
ment about the English. In the neutral

The end of the world prophecied in the
Bible has already occurred, was the
statement Of J. r. Rutherford. New York
lawyer. and Bible student, In a lecture
on WHY DO Nations War; before a
large audience yesterday afternoon at
the New National Theater.
The Bible prophecy Of the end Of the
world did not mean the destruction Of
this earth. but q change in all present
governments as a result of the world
war, which would involve this country
before its conclusion, the speaker de-
clared.
AssailIng the preparedness movement,
Mr.. Rutherford contended that a country
unarmed cannot 60 to war and that the
Europeon conflict was caused by prep
anations for war.
The lecturer vigorously attacked min
isters who do not teach the Bible, and
cited many Bible references az authority
for his contention that the clergy are to
blame for the war In Europe.
