CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR.
On Love At First Sight.

There are those who pirate know
ingIy of love at first sight. Com
monty they be pale souls, and I'M
married; or, if perchance wed, who
linked themselves to the object OF
their passion after an acquaintance
of II years during which they view
ed their life-p aTtner-to-be with Z
combination of marked disinterest
and vague distrusD and an engage
ment of seven more years (Which
they spent in wondering whether
they weren't really marrying be
meath them and making Great
Mistake.)
Rhapsodical novelists will tell
you how rockingham DeVere
glanced across the vast auditorium
at the proud beauty in the box and
how, even as he looked, she turn
ed uDen him dark lustrous eyes;
that there flashed between them
a great cosmic something by which
both knew at once that they had
Found their F'atei
Maybe so. Perhaps rockingham
and the proud beauty were right,
not forgetting the cosmic some
thing. BIT that as it may, how was
she to know of his disposition or
his nocturnal habits? And how
was he to know that his income lay
just between her modiste's and
hairdresser's bill and long way
this side of the ice-bOX?
Which leads us to the belief that
love at first sight is, in ninety-nine
cases out of hundred, but allure,
And Allure, as a foundation for
married life, is as unstable as is
chalk for thee cornerstone of an
armOry.
We shall erect the emplacement
of the happiness of our heroine and
our hero of no such untrustworthy
material. No love at first sight for
them, At second sight, perhaps,
yes. But never at firstI

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE.
On Hate at First Sight.

1t was with difficulty that on the
following morning our hero opened
his eyes. 1t was with even greater
difficulty that he opened his mouth,
for his tongue felt like the back of
a postage stamp and if he hadn t
known that he hadn't, he would
have been quite certain that he
had, been eating cotton; not good
cotton, you understand; just cot
ton. But as this had now become
his common matutinal mouth, it
didn't disturb him save by its usual
discomfort. He expected his mouth
to taste, and act, like that, now.
And inasmuch as it fulfilled, ana
even exceeded, his deepest expec-
tations, so was he dissatisfiedly
satisfied BY which I mean he was
not unpleasantly disappointed
Also. as now of morning habi-
tude. his head felt large and imper-
sonal, and throbbed, DULY; and his
stomach, lying wanly within him,
would have screamed Historically
at the mere sight of a soft-boiled
egg. Done was it with the Simple
Life. 1t yearned potently for alb
sinthe frappes and things.
Somewhere in the vast recesses
of the silent house clock doomed.
1t struck eleven Our hero
turned heavily on his bed of pain
and decided vaguely to arise.
To arise. :. Our hero had mot
stopped to remember Things had
been coming too swiftly for him.
But had he only stopped to
think-to compare the arisings of
Other Days with the Arisings of
Now!
Then, with the first CLEAN of
cordial sun had his eyes flown
open. Sleep he flung from him
with the blankets. His mouth as
sweet as a draft of well water; lips
able and willing TO whistle an an
swer to the call OF the robins in the
apple blossoms by his window. A
cold shower (when he was lucky;
when unlucky a quick sponge)

The Vote in Wisconsin.

The total vote cast in the Wisconsin senatorial
primary election was about half the vote cast at the
last election while the total cast in the primary
for the two Republican candidates was barely more
than half the vote received by La Toilette at his last
election Considering the character of the election
these figures are significant
The fight for the nomination was one Of the most
important and stirring that any state has seen for
years La Toilette once the idol Of Wisconsin, was
on trial and was stalking his fortunes the sue
cess Of his candidate Thompson but only about one
half Of the voters turned out. and, what is more,
La FoIlette's candidate received only about
fourth as many votes as La Toilette himself polled
at the election two years ago.
Had the voters who were La Toilette men in 1916
been enthusiastic Thompson men in 1918, Thompson
would have made a runaway Moreover, the
combined vote Of those who supporting the
would snow the Thompson under.
Wisconsin is therefore not discredited by the
result OF the primary election and it is possible
that the large stay-at-home vote on the Republican
side indicates intention the part of many
voters to vote as Independents for the Democratic
candidate He is the one man before the voters of
Wisconsin whose record is pro-American from start
TO fnish.-St- Louis Republic.

Foolish Little Goose.

It couldn't have happened except by accident. No

never walk again, and many of whom could live but
few weeks at most. For such men we think Of com

toy, such that which greeted the condemned"

Russia and Germany are supposed to have reached
peace agreement but in spite of that understanding
the kaiser is marching three armies upon Moscow
the new capital. The peace that Germany has made
with Russia is intended give the Prussan license
to take what he needs from the Slav nation with the
latter receiving nothing in return except kind
words. Germany needs Russia as supply station in
foods etc, and means to help herself from now on
Russia may not relish the idea, but it is either sub
mission or fight. The armies moving on Moscow are
a threat-a big scare for the slav government;
suggestion that the easiest to keep on terms Of
fendlness with the kasers forces is to premit the
latter to proceed with their plans whatever they
might be.

The Mexican continues to be unruly along the

lieved killed several of the greasers What the Next

When six Of the young officers begged the COM

instead of sugar and milk and slices of war bread

The U-Boat War.

The statement by the British admiralty showing
the net loss of shipping due the and giving an
idea OF the rate at which new tonnage is being
launched does not materially alter the general i'm

It is fact that the U-boats are still ahead and
that they gaining but at decreased rate. 1t is
well within the power of the allies to neutralize
the gain and take the lead, assuming that the de-
tense against the U-boats remains as effective as it is
now
It is not safe to make more favorable assump-
ton than that. Rather the allies must anticipate
U-boat gains, and that be done only by speeding
up production
Semi-oiciaI utterances show that as a matter of
fact the production in the United States is now run
ming at a rate which will conceal the shortage now
being occasioned by the boats This will certainly
be the fact if the United States should reach pro-
duction of even 100000 tons this year, and that
figure is far below the maximum expectation

1t was to be expected that Berlin would exag-
gerate the results of the opening round in its big
spring drive That will help to buoy the home folks
1t is hoped will discourage the enemy also At any
rate the thing to do is wait get the full and
straight story from the entente There is doubt
that Germany made master stroke, but it is also
certain that the entente forces did some damage,
probably fully as much to the enemy.
