Arthur Thorne had argued until he was tired of arguing. There was no use trying to talk sense into man who hadn't any, he thought at last, as he gave up with one more effort.
 q tell you she is young-just about twenty-one," he said hotly. Because she is an actress you think she has to be old. There are some young ac- tresses, aren't there?
 Mervin Renton, his companion, was quite willing to admit that there were but this one, he claimed, was not. "You can't tell me-" he argued. "This Dora Fraleigh will never see thirty-nVe again. Her hair Is false, I'm wiling to wager onything. Did you ever see curls like hers that were real! EVery' thing about her is false"
 Arthur knew If he stayed he Wouia become angry. Mervin was jealous that was what was the matter, he felt.
 Without another word Arthur iett the bath-house where the conversation had been held and made for the beach. Ii was a glorious day and the guests or ! the hotel were making the best Of the bathing weather. He caught slght oi Dora almost immediately. Apparently she was searching for something, in the water near the beach.
 "What have you lost?" he asked, as he waded toward her.
 "Oh, nothing" she answered a trine confused. 'ISn't the water finer :;
 After completely immerslng himseir and swimming aimlessly about Tor a few seconds, Arthur agreed that IL was. Lets go out on the raft," he suggested, but Dora seemed unwilling to leave the shallow place. This was surprlsing, for she had always seemed anxious to get all the fun possipie. There was something troubling her. She even seemed unwilling to go on inc beach for a sun bath, but finally | agreed.
 "Therew Arthur exclaimed, as he stretched out on the sand. T thought never would get away from that shallow part. There were so many children there I didn't have chance to talk with you"
 "You usually have lots of, opportuni- ties" Dora smiled.
 "What's this?" he asked, as he plcSeu nm something his toes had been rup' binp against in the sand. Well, LOOK wbot's here! A false curl" Sure enough fl was. .,
 Dora took it from him eagerly. ', lost iii she exclaimed, as she )umpeo to her feet. "I was searching TOT II out there. Wait until l go and tell auntie. She'll be delighted"
 She was off before Arthur could stop her He looked after her with an ek' clamation of dismay on his lips. TIC think that those beautiful curls or hers were false. No wonder she hadli +,II,ed much and had been contuseu So Mervin had been right!
 When Dora joined him again he wal irving to smile, but found he coatqpt "Vyhat makes you so quiet?' she asked after they had sat in silence TOT near ly five minutes.
 "Notlrag very much," he replied tc her question. q was thinking tna' ' was going nome tomorrow" g "Going houe!" she echoed. Why YOU said last week that you, would oe here all summer"

birmingham Ala, Dec. Though
the primary election Is more than n
year off, the fight over the seat of
! of the Underwood tariff has opened
Senator OSCAR W. Underwood, father
in Alabama with the charge that Mr..
/ Underwood is largely responsible for
the fact that the Democrats lost the
house and senate in the November
election ''by injecting politics into the
issuance of army commissions" This
charge grows out Of the experience
OF Phil X. Painter. a birmingham
newspaper editor. who obtained a
com mission in the chemical division
az lieutenant but was Immediately
given IAN honorable discharge" fol-
lowing an interview between Senator
Underwood and Secretary Baker.
The man who will oppose Senator
Underwood is L. h. Musgrove. char
man Of the national committee on the
ratification of the prohibition amend
ment and millionaire coal operator.
He was the chief hacker of Richmond
Pearson Hohson when the latter made
tan unsuccessful race for the senate
against MIR. Underwood. and has also
been an active opponent of Congress
man Bankhead son of Senator Bank
head. in whose district he resides.
He has never ran for any office but
enjoys politics as other men enjoy
golf or catching, and has been a
powerful factor in the prohibition
movement throughout the country,
Phil Painter, the young man whose
experience in gaining ard losing an
army commission furnished the basis
of the charge against Senator Under
wood. Is 4 son OF Mrs Sarah Early
federate general Jubal A. Early, Four
other brothers were Confederate sol
diers and all of these lost their lives
during the conflict. She also had a
son in the Spanish American war. and
was anxious 10 give her youngest son,
Phil. into the service Of his country
in the war with Germany. The latter
shared this sentiment, and when the
war opened he made application for
camp. Not hearing from this appliCa-
ton promptly, he went TO Washing
ton and fndsg that men were need
ed in the gas division he made app}i~
cation there and was received after
successfully passing the required
examinations. He was offered "A COM
