Governor Bill picked the cherry
from the catalogue for us day be-
fore yesterday, but l think the ame-
thyst has got it beat" answered my
Buzz as he started toward his own
car. Jump into your choice and lead
me on down to hear you refuse it to
old forty-two centimeter. And. mind,
l have arranged a little dinner for
you tonight"
Then without further remark fol-
lowed him down the steps and got
into that car which was the color of
the heart of the cherry and 1 raced
that Mr.. Bumblebee through the city
of Hayesville in a manner which put
to fight a large population thereof.
| had not had my hands on the
wheel of n racing car for the many
months since my father in his had
left the small Pierre and Nannette
and me weeping on the terrace of the
Chateau de Gree when he went to
the battlefield of the Marne, and
drove with all of that accumulated
fury within me.
And this is what my uncle, the
General Robert, answered to me as l
told him of my unworthiness of his
gift of the most beautiful cherry
car:
THAT is a just return for your
consideration for me in being born
a boy and 1 hope you'll break the
necks of about two dozen young fe-
males in this town before the week S
out. Begin on that baggage. Susan,
right away" And as he spoke my
uncle, the General Robert, came
down the steps of the great club of
Old Hickory with the Gouverneur
Falkner and stood beside my Cherry
with me.
He's no better man than I, gen.
eral, and I've been trying it all
year" answered my Buzz, with one
of those delectable grinnings upon
his face.
Indeed. my much loved Uncle
Robert, it is impossible that 1 &C

It is a difficult case. If went in my
official capacity to see the man 1t
might give his friends undue hopes,
and suddenly felt that 1 could run
away from the whole bunch at this
hour of the day and see the man
himself without anybody's knowing
it save the superintendent of the
prison and myself. You don't count,
because in this case you are myself"
Always l would be yourself to
you. my reverenced Gouverneur
Faulkner" 1 made reply to him as
raised my eyes to his deep ones that
smiled down into them.
Il wonder if that is as good as it
sounds, my boy?" asked my Gouver-
neur Faulkner gently as he looked
down at me with both laugh and a
sadness influencing the smile of his
mouth. Sometimes 1 badly need two
of myself. They are at me from
waking to sleeping, and 1 often feal
cut into little bits and 1 can't even
say so. In fact, youngster, I'm squeal-
ing to you more than I've let my
self do since L became the chief ex-
ecutive of this state of Harpeth.
Now, turn off into this road and go
straight ahead. The prison is about
a mile back there at the foot of that
hill"
II like those squeals," 1 an
swered to his smile as l put my
cherry against the spring wind and
raced down that long road at a great
speed that prevented any more con-
versation at that moment. My pride
bade me show to that gouverneur of
Harpeth what good driving in fine
car l was able to accomplish.
Therefore it was not many min
utes before we stood within the doors
of that very grim and terrible home
of the human beings who have sim
ned with a greta crime. l know that
1 am never to forget that hour and
am to carry forever the wound that
it inflicted upon my heart as l walked
through the dimness and grayness
and stiffness of that dark house.
At last, with many unlockings OF
heavy doors by the director of that
prison, we stood in q room that was
as a cage in which t. keep the hui
man animal that crouched down up
on a hard bed in one of its corners
and leaned a head shaved bare OF
any hair upon a very thin and white
hand.
Leave me, superintendent, for q
few minutes. The young man will
stay by the door to let you know
when 1 want you" said that Cow
erneur Faulkner to the superintend-
ent, who nodded and left the room
as L took a position over beside the
heavy iron bars that swung together
after him.

And what did find out there upon
that street?
I then experienced a surprise that
gave to me very great pleasure and
which made my heart to expand un-
til it almost burst the restraint of
that towel of the bath under the
bay of my brown cheviot coat. Be-
fore the door of the house of the
beautiful Madam Whitworth stood
the gray racing car of my Buzz, and
before it stood slim car of SIM
liar make, only it was of the dark
est amethyst that seemed to be all
most black, while behind it stood one
OF equal If not superior elegance of
shape which had the beautiful black
ness of jet. That was not all. Across
the street stood also a car of golden
brown and to the front of it one of
the red of very dark cherry.
There you are" said my Buzz
with a wave of his hand Pick one,
with the compliments of the general.
l think the amethyst is jewel"
oh, it is not possible to me to ac-
cept present of such delight from
my good uncle, the General Robert.
/ must go to him and say that l am
not worthy" l exclaimed with
large faltering in my voice.
All right. Just jump into the one
you like best and drive on down to
the Old Hickory club and say it to
him. Sorry that you can't come along
Mrs. Pat, but that glad rag you've
got on is too great a beauty with
which to appear in public. Better
take it into the house before you
catch a cold in this breeze"
Yes, l must run in" answered
Madam Whitworth, with a slight
shivering in her gown of great thin
ness. They are perfectly wonderful,

not a woman because for the good
reason" and my honor was about
to rise up in arms and betray the
daredevil and her schemes within me
when that good and most beloved
Gouverneur Faulkner interrupted me
by stepping into the cherry beside
me with a laugh.
That you, general. This is just
what | need in all of my business
with Robert. Well be back in time to
dine with you at here at the club.
Go out to the West End, Robert.
And with his hand on the spark lie
started the cherry, and | was forced
! to sweep away from my Buzz and
my uncle, the General Robert, into
/ the traffic and away from the club
of Old Hickory, which is named for
a very great general of America and
is a club of much fashion and some
| bad behavior, my Buzz has said to
me.
Il really didn't mean to kidnap
you and the car, youngster, but I've
had a pain under my left pocket all
day and l have got to operate on it.
A sudden impulse told me that 1t
would be easier if l took you with
me to-to sort of stand by" said my
| beautiful Gouverneur Faulkner in a
grave tone of voice as 1 whirled him
out the broad avenue that led to the
west end of the city.
"Oh, my Gouverneur Faulkner, is
it that you are i'll, perhaps to die by
knife?" exclaimed, and for a sec
ond let that wild cherry run in a
very dangerous manner almost upon
another large car in the act of turn
ing into the street.

after a few minutes.

Yes, 1 guess I am" she said
softly.
That night when Joe came home,
tired and hot, and vanished upstairs
to come down freshened and ready
for the evening meal, he held Edith
unusually close and turned her face
suddenly up to his.
I've got surprise for you, girl"
he said, smoothing back the soft
brown hair. II think you're looking
| kind of peaked of late. How'd you

eyes widening.

And, suddenly tender, he lifted up
the tanned little hand, with it's gold
band shining on the third finger, and
brushed it softly with his lips.

dressed and they all laughed a good
DEAL and after the underslung rae
ing car had passed on its way with
its single occupant who had praised
her beauty which hitherto had been
unnoticed Edith Fraser had exanl-
ined her face in the mirror and had
found it fair.
For the first time since she had
been married she stopped to con-
slider the life she was leading. Was
she happy? Was this the ultimate
goal, this staying on the farm and
working hard day in and day out?
Did she love Joe enough for that?
AS she pulled out the smoking
loaves and set them by the window,
there came the sudden blare of a
motor horn outside, and the next
minute a man came around to the
back door, and, with cap in hand,
asked Edith if they could get re-
freshments here. Edith smiled eag-
erly, and soon the whole party were
seated around a little round table
on the cool porch, and was de-
vouring good things which were
generally kept on hand for emer-
gencfes.
Edith saved great deal of money
in this way, but she wondered now
why Sne ala II. D1d Sne ever get
anything out of it? And she looked
down disdainfully at the crisp ging-
ham house dress and wished it were
silk instead.
Edith observed the strangers
closely, and when the men finally
left, asking permission to stroll
about for few minutes, Edith lis
tened to the women's conversation
with almost strained attention.
Somehow both of them looked tired.
They had laughed a great deal
when the men were present, but
their eyes had belied their lips.

nor murmur that life was over for
him. For once, imprisonment had
the reformatory effect which 1T is
theoretically supposed to exercise
In his cell and during the hours that
he was employed, he had ample op-
portunity for reflection and he put
1t to good purpose.
When he came out he went right
back to the town where he had
met disgrace and began to build
up the structure of his life all
over again. 1t wasn't an easy job;
1t never is, to inspire confidence In
a community where you have lost

main, but there is among the major

particular convict found it exceed

his teeth and held on. And after a
while the Angel of Opportunity came
around. 1t wasn't a thunderous
knock that the angel gave on his
door, just a hesitating, little rap, so
faint that it could scarcely be heard.
And what the angel offered was a
proposition which entailed a lot of
hard work and the promise of only
a very meagre reward.

She was strong and well, and very

proposition has been made to investi-
gate by a committee Of Congress the
prevailing high prices and short sup
ply Of sugar. 1t also Is desired TO
ascertain the causes which led to the
lessened supply and the increased fig
ure at which 1t is sold.
Representative Martin Of Louisiana.
who is greatly interested in the pro-
duction of cane and sugar, has taken
the initiative in this movement. At
the first opportunity after Congress
convened he offered this resolution:
Resolved, that the speaker Of the
house of representatives shall appoint
from the membership of the house a
committee Of seven, whose duty 1t
shall be to investigate, ascertain and
report to the house the causes for
the existing shortage Of sugar and the
prevailing prices for available sup
plies in the United States, and to
make such recommendations as may
be deemed advisable to prevent if
possible a recurrence Of a sugar IA
mine"
The resolution now is before the
committee on rules. There is no prob
ability of early action. 1t is consid-
cred unlikely that an investigation,
as proposed by Mr.. Martin, will be
ordered. Thete is a general DISPOSE
ton in both the senate and house to
avoid all matters but those relating
to the war, such as revenues and the
furnishing of materials with which

cuted. 1t is not desired to- take up
many features of outside legislation.
For that reason it is highly improb-
able that the Martin resolution will
be approved.
It has been found heretofore that
inquiries, such as that suggested, lead
to no beneficial results. They usual
~ are protracted, expensive and te.
dious. A mass of conflicting facts
are accumulated, but none of them
form the basis for remedying the sit.
