8"oP1u,

When a mysterious girl arrives at the
home of Alexander .MacAllister, wealthy
munttion manufacturer of Laclasse,
Neb., he announces that she is Marie
Osilvie. a relative of his. and secures q
home for her with an artist, Carl Men
dali. and his wife. Mendall is to give
her lessons in painting. d
Both MacAllister and Mendall fall in
love with the girl who is Of rare charm.
MacAlltsters munition factory is blown
up. He suspects one Kraup, a German
business rival OF, his, but Marie warns
him against his chauffeur. Mendall
paints a daring picture of Marie, and at
a dance given In Laclasse he and the
girl dance a sensational Spanish dance.
The night of the dance MacAllister
disappears for several days. Marie fears
for his safety, and while in a terror Of
anxiety cuts up the picture which Men
dali has painted Of her. The latter con-
fesses his love to her and his wife.
At this point MacAllister returns
safely. after having procured the arrest
Of the pro-Germans who blew up his
factory. md he and Marie acknowledge
their low for Heach other.
Kraup calls on MacAlIister.F He pro-
tests his innocence Of the munitions
plant explosion, and gives MacAllister
papers which tend to prove that Marie
has deceived him, and is no connection
Of his.
MasAllister charges Marie with lying
10 hin. She explains that she is the i'll
legitimate daughter of his cousin
James OEilvie, whose legitimate daugh-
ter had died OF typhus in Mexico, and
whose manic Marie had taken.

Wilson Saw 1t Coming.

President Wilson saw ahead the In
evitable part woman suffrage would
play in party politics and ~endeavored
to get the Democrats TO pass woman
suffrage while they controlled on
gress. But Southern Democracy was
the obstacle, Western Democrats
worked hard to convert their southern
colleagues, told them that it meant
defeat for many of them in the 1918
elections, and that the Republicans
were m~aneuvering to put it through
themselves-but all to 10 avail.
Indeed, Democrats were today re-
calling tho speech of Senator PittmAn,
Of Nevada, who charged the Republi-
a n had enough votes in the last ses-
sion of congress to form a coalition
with the suffrage Democrats and pass
the measure through the senate as II
already had won in the house. Pitt
man claimed that the Republicans
watched the poll of the Democrats and
subtracted enough votes at all times sc
as to prevent victory.
This, Senator Smoot, the Republican
manager of the poll, vehemently de-
MED. Anyway, the women who were
agitating for suffrage kept putting the
responsibility on the Democrats be-
cause they controlled both houses o.
congress, and there it has remained
for the Republican party contributed s.
per cent of its strength for suffrage
in the house last October as against s.
