only perfunctOry regrets; and, truth
to tell, Hazel cared little to know the
real cause. Any one of number Of
reasons might have been sufficient.
But she realized how those who knew
her would take 1t, what cause they
would ascribe. 1t did not matter,
though. The very worst, she reasoned.

ready hnppened-could be no more dis
agreeable than the things she had en-
dured In the past two weeks. Losing
position was a trine. But 1t set
her thinking again.
She stopped at a news stand and
bought the evening papers. Up In the
top rack of the stand the big heads Of
an assorted lot Of Western papers
caught her eye. She bought two or
three on the impulse Of the moment,
without any definite purpose except
to look them over out of mere curi-
osity. With these tucked under her
arm, she turned into the boarding
house gate, ran up the steps, and. upon
opening the door, her ears were glad

had heard-it seemed to her-ln ages,

Barrow retorted stormily. Then he
cut his sentence in two, and glared at
her. The twin devils of jealousy and
dlstrust were riding him hard, and 1t
flashed over Hazel that In his mind
she was prejudged, and that her ex-
PLANTATION, If she made 1t, would only
add fuel to the fame.
She turned abruptly and left him.
What did 1t matter. anyway She was
too proud to plead, and 1t was worse
than useless to explain.
Even so, womanllke, she listened. ex-
pecting to hear Jacks step hurrying
up behind. She could not imagine him
letting her go like that. But he did
not come, and when, at distance Of
two blocks, she stole backward
glance, he had disappeared.
She returned to the boarding house.
The parlor door stood wide, and the
curious, quickly averted glance of a
girl she knew sent her Quivering up to
her room. There was only one cheer
full CLEAN. She loved Jack Barrow
She believed that he loved her, and
she could not believe-she could not
conceive-him capable of keeping
aloof. obdurate and unforglvlng, once
he got out Of the black mood he was In.
She was still sitting by the window,
watching the yellow crimson Of the
sunset, when someone raped at her
door. A uniformed messenger boy
greeted her when she opened 1t:
'Package for Miss Hazel Weir"
She signed the delivery sheet. The
address on the package was in Jacks
handwriting. A box of chocolates,
or some little peace offering, maybe.
That was like Jack when he was sorry
for anything. They had quarreled be-
forever trifles, too.
She opened II hastily. A swift heart
sinking followed. In the small card
board box rested folded scarf, and
hrust In 1t a small gold stickpin-
the only thing she had ever given
Jack Barrow. There was no message.
She needed. none to understand.
The sparkle of the small diamond
on her finger drew her gaze. She
worked his ring over the knuckle, and
dropped 1t on the dresser, where the
face in the silver frame smiled up at
her. She stared at the picture for one
long minute fixedly, with unchangihg
expression, and suddenly she swept

sweep of her hand, dashed II on the
floor, and stamped 1t shOpeless with
her slippered heel.

And then she flung herself across
the bed and sobbed Historically into
a pillow.

TEE MANDATE.

The election OF a Republican Senate
and House was 4 surprise to most
people who had been watching the sit
uation, although perhaps It was not
to President Wilson. The only way We
can explain the blazing fndiscretion"
of his call for votes is to suppose that
the part managers had appealed TO
him in desperation His message to
"my fellow countrymen" IN behalf OF
the Democratic candidates apparently
did great deal more harm than good
In any case, the Republicans are firmly
fixed In control OF both Houses, and
they are not very apt to be gentle
with an administration that has never
treated them with much eordlality or
Kindness. There VIII be investigation,
crisicism, and opposition where a lit
tie while ago there was meek compH-
ance with every demand Some idea
Of the spirit with which the angry Re-
publicans win take hold can be gained
from Colonel RooseveIt's remark:
Any extravagance, corruption,
or inehicIency In wazing the war,
any leniency to German spies or
conspiEatorS at home, and any eff
fort to interfere with the freedom
Of speech and with the press on
the part OF honest supporters Of
the war who protect inehictency
in waging It, will, I believe, result
in congressional investigation and
expose Of the guilty parties,
It must be said that If the RepubE-
cans enter upon their responsIb flities
In this spirit the administration Is
largely to blame. It has never adj,
uttted the opposition party into par
nership in the conduct OF the war.
while President wilson's appeal for
votes caused deep indignation among
the Republican rank and file who had
really adjourned politics" for the
period OF the war. We may add that
It was q great disappointment to many
Of the Presidents most sincere Gd-
mirers-
AS to the cause Of the overthrow, It
IS clear that the nation has COM
