CHAPTER XXI.

Toward nine o'clock on the follow
ing morning John rose from a fitful
sleep and looked around him. Even
before he could recall the events of
the preceding night he felt that there
was a weight pressing upon his brain,
a miserable sense Of emptiness in life,
a dull feeling of bewilderment. AL
though he had no clear recollection Of
getting there, he realized that he was
in his W sitting-room. and that he
had been asleep upon the couch. He
saw, too, that 1t was morning, for a
ray of sunlight lay across the carpet.
AS he struggled to his feet, he saw
with a little shock that he was not
alone. Sophy Gerard was curled up
in his easy chair, still in evening
clothes, her cloak drawn closely
around her, as If she were cold. Her
head had fallen back. She, too, was
asleep. At the sound Of his move
ment, however, she opened her eyes

CHAPTER Xxx.

The ten minutes passed very much
too quickly. She was gone, and John.
thrilled though he was through all his
senses by the almost passionate fervor
of her leave-taking, found himself
once more confronted by that little
black demon. There was something
about all of them, all these people
whom he knew to be his friends, which
seemed to him to SAVIOR of q conspira-
cy. There was nothing that could be
put into definite shape-just the ghost
Of torturing, impossible thoughts. He
was in no humOr to go home. Chang
ing the order he had first given to the
chauffeur, he was driven instead to a
small Bohemian club which he had
Joined at Graillot's instigation. He
had a vague hope that he might find
the great dramatist there. There were
no signs of him, however, in the smok-
ing room, or anyone else whom John
knew.
He threw himself into an easy chair
and ordered q whisky-and-soda. Two
men close at hand were writing al
desks; others were lounging about,
discussing the evenings reception. One
man, sitting upon the table, a recog-
nized authority, was treating the CON-
pany to a fluent dissertation upon
modern actresses, winding up by con-
trasting Louise Maurel's style with
that of her chief French rival. John
found himself listening with pleaSed
interest. The mans opinion was GER
tainly not unfavorable to Louise.
"It is only in the finer shades of
amnfionalism" the critic declared

clared, with a little shiver, "but you

me! l didn't like to 60 and leave

"How could I be angry?" he pro-
tested. "You are far kinder to me
than I deserve. I expect I should
have been in a police cell but for
you"
"And now" she begged, coming over
to him and speaking In a more mat
ter-of-fact tone, "do let us be prac-
teal. l must run away, and you must
go and have a bath and change your
clothes. Don't be afraid of your repu.

monished briskly. "YOu don't actual

at least, you are not sure Of anything.
And besides, you strange, impossible
person." she went on, Plating his
hand. don't you see that you must
judge her, not by the standards Of
your world, in which she has never
lived, but by the standards Of her
world, in which she was born and
bred? That is only fair, isn't it,"
He rose listlessly to his feet. There
was a strange, dull look In his face.
"You are a dear girl, Sophy!" he
said. Don't 60 just yet. 1 have never
felt like it before. in my life, but just
now 1 don't want to be left alone.
Send a boy for some clothes, and !
will order some tea"
She hesitated.

new CLEANER RUN BY WATER
Recently Invented Device Can Be oper-
ated at Any Point in House Where
There Is Hydrant.

A u cleaner has been invent
ed which can be operated wherever
there Is a hydrant in the house.
A pipe Of the right diameter Is
screwed into the h%ydrant's mouth and
runs down to the bottom Of the sink.
A spiral nozzle fits the pipe just below
the mouth of the hydrant. An angular
pipe opens into the vertical pipe i'm
mediately below the nozzle and slopes
up to connect with a rubber hose on
the guiding rod.
To clean the room you turn on the
water and guide the rod rel the car

ing out all the air near it. The
u so created starts the air flow

WHY FAMILY MOVED TO TOWN
Compelled to Make Change Because Of
Poor Schools and Bad Roads-
Remedy for Poverty.

"Why don't they 60 on to a farmT
Is the question with which many men
dismiss from their minds the story Of
some poverty-stricken family. The
chances are five to one that that same
family was induced to move to town
because Of poor schools and poor roads
In the country. The remedy for much
Of the poverty now in Jul towns Is
good roads and good schools in the
country. Why should not country
schools be given the same attention
given city and town schools7 Why
should not the children be permitted to

feet, instead of wading through mud
and water? Good roads will make the
country a better place in which to live.

NATIONAL SYSTEM OF ROADS
Expert At National Capital illustrates
How Scheme 10 to Be Brought
to Successful End.

The establishment of q national sys-
TEN Of highways is greatly facilitated
by the federal aid road law, which
compels all the states that would share
In its benefts-and that means all Of
the states-to equip themselves with
state highway departments. With these
state highway departments devoting
their attention to the building Of state
systems of main, through-line high
ways, every condition is favorable for
the next and GROWING act-the estab-
lishment of a national system of high
ways.
BY way Of illustrating how q ma
tional system Of highways is about to
be evolved by easy and logical stages,
an expert at the national capital made
the following statement:
"Gradually the state has made itself
a compelling factor in the handling of
local road problems and, as q logical
sequence, the federal government, first
through educational activity and later
by the financial aid provided by the
federal aid law, has made itself a
powerful factor in the working out Of
the state highway problems. The next
logical step follows the same cours
which has been pursued by the state
governments. namely. the broadening
Of federal participation to provide for
the establishment Of a system Of Ia
tional highways.
"This policy a be put into effect
without disturbance Of existing organ
izations, without providing new means
Of finance and with but little change
In existing laws. The process would
logically take a course somewhat as
follows:
II. The state highway departments
and the federal Office of public roads
would make an initial selection from
existing state highway systems of
those highways which are of interstate
Importance.
"2. A system thus selected would be
approved by congress, with the re-
quirement that federal funds be ap-
piled only to such system on and after
a specified date.
"3. The federal aid should be ex-
tended to maintenance as well as con-
struction, as the national system Of
highways should have for all time a
close relationship with the federal gov
eminent.
"Some of the states already have
made plans for utilizing the aid grant
ed by the federal aid road act on roads
which could not properly be included
In a national system. But this need

Soaring Them Away,
(TO BE CoNTINUED.)

Frank A. Vanderbilt, chairman Of a
Liberty Loan committee, said in New
York:
"The loan machinery was made easy,
simple and informal, so that all could
come In. We didn't want to scare the
plain people away, you know.
"Some Of our past loans did scare
the plain people. They were like the
swagger seashore hotel.
"This hotel was so very swagger
that the guests all felt like inmates
or prisoners.
'There was a little man who arrived
there one night and rang his bell for
some ice water. No answer. He rang
again. Still no answer. Then he put
his finger on the button and held 1t
there till he heard footsteps.
"A knock, and a majestic maid en-
tered. She looked at the little man
sc%ornfully.
".Did you ringT she asked.
ayes said he.
"'Humph,' said the maid. Who lift

Negroes Famous as Composers.

There is no doubt that James Bland,
a negro musician, wrote Garry Me
Back to Old Virginia." During the
days Of slavery there were in New Or
leans quite a number Of well educated
negroes, and among them a number
who gained distinction as musical com.
posers. Five Of these were Edmund
Dede, Basil Bares, Lucien Lambert,
Sidney Lambert and Samuel Snaer.
Much Of the music that these men
wrote is of permanent worth. One Of
the earliest American negro musical
authors was James Hemmenway. His
home was in Philadelphia, and during
the second and third decades of the
nineteenth century he wrote much
music which by musicians Of authority

not cause extreme conflict, as the fed
eral funds for the first three or four
years. operation Of the present act
could continue to be applied as now
planned. The appropriations for the
first two years are already available
and considerable time necessary must
elapse before the national system
could be laid out and made ready for
the application Of federal funds.
I'm all probability the new scheme
would come into effect as an extension
of the present federal aid road act"
