But when she stepped from the cab,
she drew back in alarm. a strange

The next second something black and
strangling was thrown over her. Then
through sheer terror she lost con-

When she recovered she was on a
couch in lantern lit loft. On plat
form stood a camera over which a man
and yelled woman were working.
Paralyzed with fright. Margaret tried
TO grasp the situation.
Then sounds of struggling from
without and loud angry voices. Through
the door appeared two rufians drag

With a fash of horror, Margaret
realized their purpose. They had been
lured here to secure compromising
picture that would defeat Kcnnedy's
election. 1t was a dastardly plot of
his political enemies.

The man at the camera stood ready
with flashlight. Another second the
picture would be taken. Just then the

rushed in. followed by Mary Kennedy:
a desperate struggle followed. but
the officers finally overpowercd the
three ruffians and the yelled woman.

they saw 1t was a man.

Doyle. pointing maliciously to Mar

With scornful incredulity, Kennedy
turned protectingly to Margaret.
For years afterward Margaret won

to her then. She had been looking
at Mary, at her graying hair and lines
OF suffering about her mouth. In a
binding fash came the realization of
all this woman had suffered through
her. And Kennedy-it was his love
for her that had brought him to the
very verge of ruin. 1t was his wife
who had saved him. who. fearing for
his safety. had followed him.
1t took only a second for all this to
crash through Margaret's mind. But
when she looked up at Kennedy, with
strength she did not know she pos

Still unbelieving, Kennedy stared at

"THE NEGLECTEDWIFE,"
CHAPTER xv-"A Sacrifice Supreme"
(Noyelized from the Pathe Serial of the same name
famous novels Of Mabel Herbert Urner.)
BY JOSEPH DUNN.

Reluctantly Mary approached the
house. She had said she would not
return until her husband had prom
ised TO put this other woman out Of
his life.
He had not made that promise-yet
she was returning. But it had not
been her loneliness or her hcartache
that forced her back. 1t was an article
in the morning paper-an envenomed
scurrilous story.
HORACE kENNEDY's WIFE LEAVES
ANOTHER WOMAN SAID TO DE THE
SCANDAL May DEFEAT KENNEDY's
ELECTION.
She had come hack to force this
paper to retract!on-to annul the
harm that announcement had done her
husbands chance for election.
Ignoring the buffers amazed stare
as he opened the door. Mary hurried
into the library to the telephone.
BY giving her name. she soon had
the managing edito, on the wire.

made immediatcly-in the next edition,
AS she replaced the receiver she saw
Kennedy standing ir the door.

her. you've done this for me? You've

very tired-I'n go to my room"
He stood helplessly aside as she
passed He wanted to express his ap-
probation. but words seemed SO trivial
and cheap. There vas but one thing
that would ompcnsate-that he should
give up Margaret.
But he still loved her-with a blind
infatua ton. Even the scene he had
Just been through had not cooled his
aroor. Broodingly he relived that
afternoon-from the moment he had
stood at Margaret's door and heard
Norwood plead that she take the pro-
lection OF his name
Then. with A flaming jealousy. he
had burst into the room. Norwood had
raced him with cold contempt, and Mar
saret had drawn back wni.e and
trembling.
She had not sent him the note-;,
had been some trick OF his politIca,
enemies. But she still loved him. A;
her falterinS request Norwood had LET,
them alone. and for a long time she
had chung to him. Then she had drawn
away, saying that they could no. &c
on-that their love was only wreckinp
his career
On the way home he had read the
scurrilous article in the Star. Enter.
Ing the house he had heard Mary tele.
phoning to the editor.
1t was supreme proof Of his wtfe's
love But what had he to offer In re.
turn-a mind and heart consumed with
love for another woman.
AT o'clock that evening Marrare,
received this note:
will you come down to the Office
at once-to go over the proofs Of your
story? Have decided to run it in the
next issue. which goes to press in the
morning. Am sending this with 2
taxicab-which will wait for you.

MILK War IS ON
Cook County Grand Jury Goes
After the Producers.
Chicago Dealers Not Blamed
for High Prices.

Chicago, Nov. 2.-The Cook county
grand jury entered Chicago'S milk
war; today by formally recommend
ing that the attorney general take inn
mediate steps to compel dissolution
of the Milk Producers association
In report to Circuit Judge Scanlon,
the grand jury declared the Tassccia-
sale dealers and countenanced actions
that were savoring of sabotage"
The jury declared that another boy
colt, similar to the one in 1916, in
which armed thugs picketed milk
plants and overturned wagons" was
now threatened.
1t was held that dealers were not
responsible for increased prices, but
that this was solely the result of
agreements by the farmers constitu-
ing the association.
Chicago is still feeling the pinch of
the strike declared by farmers of the
Chicago producing territory, including
northern Illinois and Indiana, south
ern Wisconsin and southwestern
Michigan.
Big dealers reported they are re-
ceiving less than twenty per cent of
their normal supply. They have
limited the quantities sold to .ndi-
Vidual consumers and are selling only
in pint bottles. Tomorrow, it was
said the supply will be still smaller
and deliveries will be made only to
hospitals and to families with babies
and invalids.
To effect an early settlement of
the strike, Harry A. Wheeler. Illinois
food administrator, will bring sixty di-
rectors of various locals of the as
sociation into conference with repre-
sentatives of the big dealers here
late today.

rs co TO PRISON
Heavy Sentences Imposed on
German Draft Instructors.
Socialist Leader Gets Five
Years and $1,000 Fine.

Sioux Falls. Nov. 2.-Prison SEN
fences ranging from one year and a
day to two years, were imposed on
twenty-six German Socialists, con-
victed here last week for conspiring
to obstruct the selective draft, in the
federal court here today by Judge
Youmans. Fines ranging from $500
to $1,000 also were assessed against
the men.
August Friedrich, alleged leader of
the conspiracy, was fined $1,000 ana
sentenced to five years in prison. Mo
tons for a new trial were denied. The
men will be sent to the federal prison
at Leavenworth, Kan.
The twenty-six Socialists, most OF
whom are farmers. were arrested by
federal officials near Trip, S. D., last
August, after they had addressed
several intimidating petitions to coun-
ty and state officers who were admin
istering the draft. One of the petit
tions was sent to Governor Norbeck.
Their conviction was secured under
the espionage act
