repeated the question.
Because dare to love you. you: is
my case not hopeless?" Poor Santos
trembled under the strain Of the past
half hour. All at once the despair,
the sufferings and his untold misery
were swept away in the wave of hap
piness caused by Rositta's arm about
his short neck. He embraced the sx-
quisite woman so ardently that she
suffered. but she only replied with a
sweet, sense-ensnaring smile. Santos
declared:
You have no idea what power you
possess over me. l am your slave.
You can make Of me what you will,
hero or traitor. l am ready to die
for you"
1t was not necessary for Santos to
tell this. Rositta knew her power
even better than Santos.
They were nearing Ciryne, and San
tos tried to regain his normal COM
posture. ROSETTA said gravely:

home Of ours, we must be discreet
and cautious. Do not tell of our love.

We will leave when the way is clear"
Il am yours, my dear Rositta, but
know my happiness will betray my
love"
The countess gazed straight ahead,
her hand still nestled in Santos. She
continued:
Il have been all alone. The Presi-
dent, Mr.. Edison and his dear mother
have been very good to me, but have
longed for someone to be my very
own. have found you and now l am
happy, indeed"
Could Santos have seen behind that
artful schemer's veil, he would have
recoiled, horror stricken. But he could
only see the tender light in her eyes,
and hear the loving words from her
lips.

LENGTHENING LIFE OF TOPS
Little Attention Now and Then Will
Do Much to Keep 1t in Condition
Material Is Punched.

The service and beauty of a motor
top may be indefinitely heightened
with only slight attention upon the
part of the owner or driver.
When folded for spring or summer
use the top is most abused. Often the
material is pinched by the bows or
top fasteners and the fabric is stretch
ed out Of shape. Care in lowering the
top can prevent this. An occasional
brushing inside and out will keep the
top in good condition.
Soap and water should be used to
wash it to remove the accumulation
of dust and grease spots. Gasoline
must never be used for cleaning the
rubberized cloth, as 1t dissolves the
waterproofing preparation.

CHAPTER XVI.
A New Princess.

Napoleon found obstacles in the
way of obtaining the property where
he had discovered the desired cirynith.
The German crown declared it was
not for sale. He asked for a long
lease, and the right to mine the Peak
Suemeg, but that would conflict with
the laws of Hungarian lease and rent
al rights, .a9 s.a..5
Realizing that he never would ar
rive at the actual working of the mine,
unless he took a decided step, he paid
a visit to the Count Won Werdenstein
personally.
This time he crossed the ocean in
one of the newest English liners that
made the trip between New York and

was very happy to see the man with
whom he had so many pleasant deal

cal situation in Europe. He frankly
said that there was possibility of an
international disturbance; the people
were happy, but the nobility, and,
more particularly, the idle army and
navy officers, were agitating the Ques-
ton of restoring the standing armies
and aerial and naval defenses.
Napoleon listened gravely to the
opinions of this brave and broad
minded man who was doing all he
could to enlighten the people. He
knew Herr Kalmar was a perfectly
trustworthy man, SO he told him about
his difficulties in obtaining Peak Sue

AMERICAS GREATEST EDUCATIONAL
ROMAN CATHOLIC POLITICAL MACHINE FROM THE


Among the conspicuous facts that
are Invariably present when Ro-
man Catholic machine dominates
city government, is the packing Of
appointive positions, great and small,
with Roman Catholics. Frequently
the number of Offices filled by faith
full servants Of the pope is from
SEVENTY-FIVE TO NINETY
PERCENT, though the population Of
the city may be overwhelmingly
Protestant. This union of hierarchy
with the political machine affords
perhaps the most startling exhibition
Of religious Sectarianism in politics
to be found in our government. The
packing of offices with members of
one church, and they the faithful
subjects of a foreign sovereignty
which is as contrary to the prin-
ciples, ideals and practice Of liberal
democracy as 1t is in perfect accord
with the history, tradition and the
practice Of the reactionary papal
system, has already proved one Of
the most fruitful causes Of civic cor
ruption and moral damage to COM
munal life In the nation.
As Louisville under the domination
of the Whalen-Irish Catholic machine
Is going the way Of Tammanyized
New York and Gallavanized and
Curleyized Boston, so the for
eign and anti-American children Of
the pope are seeking to gain control
of smaller cities. Thus in this issue
of THE MENACE we give a graphic
illustration Of this advancement Of
Roman Catholic sectaria1 politics, as
portrayed in recent issue Of the
Boston Herald in its story Of the
present Irish and French Roman
Catholic combination that has beer
recently effected in Manchester, New
Hampshire, by which the hierarchy
confidently expects to be able tt
