IT sometimes wish that every last
woman on earth stayed out of my life
and work" David said to himself as
he turned the car into quiet road
where he could talk to Cora without
distraction.
TRY to understand me, Cora, as
dispassionately as though l were writ
ing what 1 am saying" he began. Il
have burned my bridges behind me in
New York and 1 have got to go ahead
with Colony Park or begin again at
the bottom. Now l have too much to
gain by going ahead and too much to
lose if l don't. So mean to go ahead.
That's settled.
Now, Mr.. Brett is the president of
the company, but Mrs Brett is his
boss, as he himself says. If 1 please
her, L please him. If l should dis
please her l might Just as well mail
my resignation. And L do not intend
to resign.
Il am sorry to have a woman play
a part in my bushes. But if Brett
chooses to make his wife a power
I've got to stand for it. And because
! must, you must, Cora. Unless you,
too, mean to impose your will on me
in my business"
They rode on in silence for a time
a silence bitterly eloquent.
Furthermore, Mrs Brett is abso-
lutely indispensa ble," he went on.
Colony Park is being built by rich
men for their womenfolk. 1t is to be
a fashionable colony. and women set
the fashion. Mrs. Brett knows these
women through and through and if
we did not have her in the council we
should have to get some woman like
her. Can't you see that?'
Il can see why she is allowed to in
terfere in her husbands business"
Cora retorted bitterly, but not why
she should thrust herself into my pri
vate life. Furthermore, she shall
mott"
Unfortunately. mans business
sometimes thrusts itself into his pri-
vate life" David tried hard to keep
a note of sayageness from creeping
into his voice. I've shown you how
she is definitely thrown into my bust
ness.
ut is her right to make me listen
to her ideas on the interior arrange
ments of the houses l am to plan and
build for her husband. She decides
that the most effective way to study
her ideas is for me to live in their
home for a time.
Il tell her you are coming and she
kindly includes you in the invitation
to stay in her sumptuous home.
Now, I am leaving out the whole
question of how much it would mean
If you made friend of her. You
don't have to be shown that, and it
rests with you whether you do me
that service or not. But it rests with
me wether l try to please Mrs. Brett

tie girl to whom she owed her life; she
considers Miss Mccoy a most wonder
full child and believes that by every
right she should be decorated with a
Carnegie medal for bravery.
Nellie Mccoy, down in Demopolis, is
regarded as a real heroine; the child
is wonderfully sweet, modest, at
tractive little thing, and is quite OBJ
vio1s of the act of bravery that She
has done; she regards it only as some
thing that any one would have done
if the circumstances had been similar;
but all those who saw the daring
act realize this child saved life
the life of a lovely young woman
when men, women and children about
her hadn't the presence of mind, nor
the grit, nor the courage, with the ex-
ception of the little boy, who lent his
efforts, to do this big, noble, splendid
thing.
Little Nellie McCoy's friends in Bir-
mingham are very proud of her heroism
and all over Alabama there is feel
ing strong and insistent that she should
be the owner of a Carnegie medal for
bravery, since nothing finer, nor more
self sacrificing, nor daring, has been
done by child of her age.

"You can either accept her invita-

tonelessly. II want to go to some

David turned the machine. Driving
to a quiet little hotel, he left Cora

WASHINGTON, March 9.--Faced
by a new crisis in Mexican affairs
through the Columbus massacre, ad-
ministration officials admitted that
President Wilson might find 1t diff

given out was that steps would be
taken to punish the villa bandits,
but it was not indicated whether
General Carranza would be called
upon to do so, OF whether American
troops would be sent over the line.
The State department is said to
have begun the draft OF a memor-
andum to General Carranza, based
on the report of General Funston.
The news spread over the capitol
with startling effect. Senator Stone

committee, at once communicated
with the State department and also
