He didn't want to founder through
an emotional morass. And the as
sumption that she couldn't walk beside
him on the main path Of his life was
just and sensible. But 1t wasn't good
enough for Rose.
So the very next morning she strip
ped the cover of the first Of the law
books she had bought, and really went
to work. She bit down, angrlly, the
yawns that blinded her eyes with tears |,
she made desperate efforts to fog her
mind Into graphing with the endless
succession of meaningless pages
spread out before her, to find a germ
Of meaning somewhere In 1t that would
bring the dead verbiage to life. She
was very secretlve about 1t; developed
an almost morbid fear that Rodney
would discover what she was doing
and laugh his big laugh at her. She
resisted innumerabIe questions she
wanted to PROFOUND to him, from q
fear that they'd betray her secret.
She even forbOre to ask him about
the case; 1t was The Case In her mind
the one she knew about.
She discovered In the newspaper,
one day, column summary Of court
decisions that had been handed down; |;
and though The Case wasn't In 1t, she
kept, from that day forward, careful
watch, discovered where the legal news
was printed, and never overlooked a
paragraph. And at last she found
it-just the bare statement: "Judg-
ment affirmed" Rodney, she knew,
had represented the appellant. He
was beaten.
For n moment the thing had bruised
her like blow. And then, all at once,
In the indrawlng Of single breath,
she saw 1t differently. She saw she
couldn't help him out Of his intellec-
tual quandaries-yet. But under the
dlscouragement and lassitude Of de-
feat, couldn't she help him? She re-
membered how many times she had
gone to him for help like that, and,
most notably, during the three or four
days Of an acute illness Of her moth
er's, when she had been brought face
to face with the monstrous, incredible
possibility of losing her, how she had
clung to him, how his tenderness had
soothed and quieted her.
He had never come to her like that.
She knew now 1t was thing she had
unconsclously longed for. And to-
night she'd have chance! There was
a mounting excitement in her, as the
hours passed-a thrilling suspense.
For two hours that afternoon, she
listened for his latchkey, and when
at last she heard it, she stole down
the stairs. He didn't shout her name
from the hall, rs he often did.
lie didn't hear her coming, and she
got a look at his face as he stood at
the table abscntly turning over some
mail that lay there. lie looked tired,

she'd have to come back to earth,
where certain monstrously terrifying
questions were waiting for her.

MGARRY ATTACKS GRoGAN

"Nonpartisanship or its aIterna-

fered voters of the 18th ward in the
present aldermanic contest" de-
clared Atty Eugene McGarry at a,
meeting in behalf of John J. Touhy,
the independent candidate, held at
PauIina and Madison. Opposing
Touhy are G. B. (''Barney') Grogan
and John R. Lewis, the Republican
nominee. The latter is said to have
been selected" by GrOgan and is re-
ferred to by Touhy workers as Bar
ney's straw man"

OPEN BIDS FOR NEW WARSHIPS
TO BUILD IN HASTE

Washington, March "a. - AS part
Of its speeding up" the navy de-
partment today opened bids for ff-
teen destroyers, authorized under the
last naval bill. Opening today was
eleven days ahead of schedule and
with it went a request for the great
est possible haste in constructing the
craft.
Sec'y Daniels wants to know how
many vessels the constructors can
build and how rapidly.
Ten to fifteen months is the time
limit Daniels believes should be set.
Indications are that a number Of
new ships, not already authorized or
provided for, will be sought in the
coming congress.
An immediate increase in the per-
sonnet of the army general staff from
80 to SO will be one of the first war
measures asked Of congress, war de-
partment officials indicated today.
This request was made of congress
when the last army bill was up for
consideration.

"It is not question of Democratic
or Republican partisanship," said Mr..
McGarry Surely no right-minded
Democrat will point with pride to
Barney Grogan as representative Of
his party. Barney Grogan believes
in Barney Grogan, hence 'Grogan-
ism as a political classification. To
give 'Groganism' a place on the bal
lot it was necessary for its head to
obtain the votes of 1 100 Republican
electors in the primary.
Republicans are offered the priv
ilege of wasting their ballots on
Lewis, who, they say, was hand
picked by Grogan. The plan is be-
ieved to have been to have Lewis
withdraw after the time for filing in
dependent petitions had passed. That
would make 'BaTney's' election GER
tain. Now they claim Lewis is re-
naming as a candidate to take Re
publican votes that would under no
circumstance be cast for GrOgan."

WHY U. S. MIND LOSING SHIPS
Berlin, March 24.-Germany can

sinking of tanker Healdtpn by Ger

Public opinion today agreed with
this expression of view in newspaper

Sinking of American steamer
HealdtOn possibly will aggravate
American press pressure on Pres.
Wilson," editorial declared, land the
entente press will doubtless assert
this is an overt act But constituting.
this sinking as a reason for war

! CIVILIZATION OWES
MUCH TO THE GREEK
!. 8. Souahton Hoborn Delights Gath.
ering with Lecture on Hellenic
Pioneers In Our Civil
jzation1

"Save the blind forces Of nature,
there Is nothing In our civilization
that is not Greek in its origin"
In this quotation, |. B. Stoughton
Holborn, MS, F.RG.S., lecturer on
art, archaeology and literature for the
Oxford. Cambridge and London Uni
versity staff, last night, In the first
Of the lecture course series at the
Wheeling High School auditorium,
gave the evasion of thorough stu
dent of history of the part played by
Hellenic Pioneers in Our Ciyiliza-
ton"
The lecture was the first Of series
of three lectures dealing with Greek
history, and those who were fortunate
to listen to the first lecture certainly
will be among those most enthusiastic
to hear the others on the evenings OF
January % and 20.
ut Is to Greece" Professor Holborn
last night said in part, that we owe
our civilization, so far as we can sep
arate il from religion. 1t was the
Greek who had the most human con-
ception of life, and 1t was this human
influence that makes the Greek the
great factor in our civilization. The
rebirth Of the Greek thought was the
beginning of the civilization which
makes for the modern world" review.
ing at length the Greek conquests OF
old and the spreading OF the Greek
influence throughout Europe and its
transmission to the western c1vtllza-
ton. But we owe our civilization to
Greece more particularly" the speak
er said, because the Greek had con-
ception Of man that placed him above
a plane In common with other crea'
lures Of the animal kingdom"
Reviewing the great mechanical ana
wealth-producing trend OF modern CIV
ilization, the speaker raised the serious
! question that would have been fore
most with the pioneer Greek: What Is
the price of this mechanical age and
wealth production? Is it producing q
better type OF men?
"a very modest study Of the Greek
and the story of the Peloplenltlan
! war" was one of his thought-produc
! ing assertions, would have prevented
| this cruel war in Europe. We hear II
said that history repeats itself. but
with respect to war, that Is because
we do not understand history and sc
on making such silly, idioucc mistakes
as those which have caused war"
At the conclusion of the lecture a
number of beautiful stereopticon slides
were shown, reproducing ] landscape
| and architectural scenes in Greece
with reproductions Of some OF the lam
OILS Greek art.
