CHAPTER XXVI.

Leila was determined to endure
everything that might be necessary to
regain her beauty. She would go
through any ordeal of knives or plas-
ter casts or splints or medicines for
that. She was quite grim about it.
Her resolution extended to the spend
Ing Of as much of Bayard's money as
might be necessary on surgeons fees
and doctors bills. If she bankrupted
Bayard it would be with the tenderest
motives.
Five times she went to the. operat-
Ing table, made that internal journey
into etherland, knowing what after
anguishes waited her, what retching
and burning and bleeding. She braved
death again and again, took long
chances with covering bravadO. And
all for Bayard's sake.
- tine morning when Bayard reached
his office after a narrowing all-night
vigil at Leila's side he was just falling
asleep over the first mail when his
telephone snarled. He reached for 1t
with alarm. A voice doomed in his
ear:
"Ah you thah?"
"Yes."
Keep the line, please. Now, you ah

linen grOwl replaced the boom, a
grow that made the receiver rattle:

said I was pretty. But now Oh,
Bayard, Bayard! You used to call me

Wise pathfnders say that when you

should turn every now and then and
look back at the way you came. 1t

will need to know how it will look
when you return.
From childhood on, Leila had been
warned against extravagance-as Bay
ard had, as have we all. Eut only
now that she was looking backward
could she realize the wisdom, the in
tolerable truth of the adage, "Waste
not, want not"
Meanwhile Daphne was having so
ashamed It seemed unfair to her to
get Well quickly and with no blemish
except a scar or two that would not
show, while Leila hung between death
and deform1ty.
But seeing Bayard alone and hear
ing Leila fret, she felt confirmed in
her belief that she had done the whole
some thing when she joined the labor
ing classes. There we're discourage
ments without cease, yet Daphne was
learning what a remedy for how many
troubles there is in work. 1t seemed
to be almost panacea. 1t was exciting,
fatiguing, alarming, but it was objec-
tive. She was ON her way at last to
that fifty thousand a year she had
dreamed of. She was uncertain yet Of
earning a thousand a year, but she
was On the road.
Clay Wimburn, seeking chances in
the West, did not see the New York
papers or any other record Of Daph-
ne's accident. When he got back to
New York, his pockets full of con-
tracts, Bayard, equally successful,
greeted him enthusiastically. Then he
learned of the accident and the fact
that Daphne was "in trade" He was
indignant at the news and wanted to
see her at once.
Bayard gave him the address, and
Clay wasted no time asking further
questions. He made haste to the sub
way, tuning; left the train at the
Grand Central station and climbed up
to a taxicab.
Then he found Daphne.
She led him into little shop empty
of everything but the debris of re-
mOval.
"Where are WEI" said Clay.
'This was my shop
'sWhat's the matter? Busted al
ready?" Clay asked, with a not un1at-

planned. "We've expanded so fast we

across the street.

"And you wouldn't give up your

He looked at her with baffled emo

obstinate, so right-hearted and so
wrOng-headed. It was intOlerable that
she should keep shop. He spoke

way to save money-to make pas

keeps me out of mischief and out of
loneliness. Oh, there's no freedom

"And you wouldn't give up your
Freedom as you call it, even for a
man you loved? Couldn't you love a
man enough to do that?"
81 could love a man too much to
do that. For where's the love in a
woman's sitting around the house all
day and waiting for a man to come
home and listen to the gossip of her
empty brain? That isn't loving, that's

Clay was not at all persuaded.

. TRAIL OF SMOKERS
Wants Weed Users Barred
From Polling Places.

DR.. Charles G. Pease has again, after
an absence of three years, found tongue
to express his sentiments on the vulgar
male passion for smoking. So far as is
known DR.. Pease hasn't arrested a
single subway smoker nor held any con-
ventions with himself as president of the
Non-Smokers Protective League nor
written himself letters to the newspa-
pers In that time in spite of the very
splendid opportunity offered.
Now, DR.. Pease comes to bat. He has
written a letter to the Mayor raising a
terrible yowl because women who go to
election booths may suffer from the pois-
onous air of weeds clamped to the Jaws
of male persons. DR.. Pease suggested
hopefully to the Mayor that a look in
the statutes might divulge that actually
some time or other far seeing statesmen
had put a ban on this evil practice. Ger
tainly its improperly would at least re-
quire an expression from the great COM
moner at City Hall

tifying him that while in the opinion of

smoke in the presence of women there

"Tipped" Presence Of Valu-

Jewels valued at more than 100000
were stolen from the apartment Of Mrs.
Leyla Brandeis at 166 West Seventy
second street, some time between Satur-
day night and Monday. The robbery
was reported to the police on Monday,
but the facts became generally known
only yesterday evening. No arrest has
been made though the police have in
formed the complainant that they have
information which they believe will lead
to the discovery of the burglar and the
recovery of the jewelry.
When Mrs. Brandels returned on
Monday from visit to her mother,

jimmied open after the box Itself had
been pried loose from the wall, where
1t was fastened 10 a bracket. The safe
was connected with a burglar alarm
which caused an electric bell to ring
when the door was touched, but Mrs.
Brandes said yesterday that the ar
rangement was only intended to scare
off an intruder and had no connection
outside the apartment.
The entire contents of the safe had
disappeared. including a large rope Of
pearls, diamond necklace, several dia-
mond pins, a number of rings and other
articles of jewelry mostly given Mrs.
Brandeis by her husband, the late H.
II. Brandeis of Omaha. Nothing else
in the apartment was disturbed and
none of the attendants who are con-
stantly on duty on the ground floor
noticed the presence OF a stranger in the
building or heard any unusual sounds.
The thief is believed TO, have learned
of the location of the box and the char
acter of it's contents from some en-
ployee in the household.
Mrs. Brandeis who is young and at
tractive, came to New York about two
weeks ago from London, where she
passed the summer. Her husband and
his two brothers, Arthur ID. Brandeis
and Emil Brandeis. founded the Omaha
department store which bears their name.

away. The officer almost caught the
youth when Shepard glanced back. saw
him and took to his heels. The officer

VENEZEA SURVIVORS
ARE ON WAY HERE
Chicago Bringing Those Taken
From Burning Ship.

The French Line received yesterday a
wireless message from the steamship
Chicago, on her way from Bordeaux for
this port. saying that she had aboard
1873 passengers of the steamship Venezia,
formerly of the Fabre Line but operated
by the French Government through the
French Line. 1t had been believed that
the Venezia carried no passengers and
that the French liner Niagara, bound east,
had responded to the appeal of the Vene-
zia, which was aflre, and had taken off
her crew. There was a mixup of mes
sages. Both the Chicago and the Mag
ara raced to help the Venezia.
The Niagara, which carries a large
number of passengers. was able to take
aboard only a few of the ships company
of the Venezia and the Chicago, with
more room, is bringing hither nearly all
the passengers and thirteen officers and
l4O of the crew. She also salvaged 160
bags of mail and some baggage, which
leads the French Line officials to believe
that all hands had plenty of time to
leave the burning ship and that none
was lost.
The Venezia sailed from Vera Cruz
and later from Havana with nineteen
first class, eighteen second and 102 third
class passengers and 1920 bags of
sugar for St Nazaire She was in mid
ocean when the fire was discovered The

WIFE LEFT IN 1904;
MAN NOW A SUICIDE
Husband Ends IS Years of
Grief by Cutting Artery.

Times failure to heal the sorrow that
came to him fifteen years ago by the
elopement of his wife, who took with her
their two small children, is now believed
by the police to have been the motive In
the suicide Tuesday night of Frank A.
Biggs, Al years old, in a vacant lot near
Jessup avenue and West 172d street, The
Bronx.
In 1904 a woman who was then Mrs.
Frank A. Biggs of Sheepshead Bay left
on a trip to the West with a man who
had been boarder at her home. Since
that time every means had been en-
ployed by the husband in a futile search
for the missing woman and the young
children.
Such at least is the story CLEANED by
the police az the drydocks of the Morse
Dry Dock and Repair Company from
workmen who said that they had known
the man since he had come to work
there as carpenter four years ago.
The body was identified yesterday
brother, Louis Biggs of So Doscher
street. Brooklyn. He told the police that
he was satisfied with the autopsy by
Assistant Medical Examiner Dr. Karl s.
Kennard revealing the case as a suicide
Death had been caused by loss OF blood
from the artery In the left wrist which
was s'ashed with a piece of jagged glass
found near the body.

RABBI WISE GETS
RIGHT OF SPEECH
Words on Any Topic to Be
Approved.

Rabbi Stephen s. Wse'e right to speak
the truth as he sees fit on any question
was approved yesterday by the executive
council Of the Free Synagogue at a spe-
cial meeting at the Free Synagogue
House. SO West Sixty-eighth street.
The meeting was called as a result Of
attacks on E. II. Gary made by Rabbi
Wise week ago Sunday and the ex-
pressed disapproval of some of his con-
gregation. which moved the rabbi last
Sunday to announce his willingness to
offer his resignation IL any considerable
number of his congregation thought 1t
would be better for him to relinquish his
pulpit.
After an hour and a half's discussion
yesterday the committee passed unani-
mously resolution presented by Oscar
s. Straus and seconded by DR.. Lee X.
Frankel to the effect that as far as the
Free Synagogue was concerned the only
question which could be raised by reason
OF DIR. Wises recent utterances and the
comment arising therefrom was as to
the right of the rabbi of the congrega-
tion to express from Its pulpit freely the
truth on all questions and that he had
that right.

bers have Joined the American Legion in

''Since the ending of the world war"
says the statement, 1.-THE American
Legion has beh formed and has been
officially sanctioned and recognized as
the representative organization of the
American soldiers and sailors who par
ticipated in the world war. We recog-
nize and honor the American Legion and
desire in no way to hinder their admin
istration and organization, and feeling
that continuance of our effort for the
World War Legion would be miscon-
strued as being detrimental to the Amer
lean Legion purposes we have decided to
abandon our plans TO further organize
the World War Legion and also to call
Off our plans for the national encamp-
ment.
I'VE feel that under the circumstances
this is the only patriotic thing to do
and we heartily urge all former mem
bers of the World War Legion to join
