an elbow on the window sill.
When he aWoke from his nap it was
night and he felt sharp gnawing in
his stomach. He looked at his watch
and saw it was II O'Clock. To his sur
prise the car was not in motion. He
could hear voices outside and saw two
men whom he remembered as fellow
passengers, pacing beside the track,
cigars glowing in their mouths. Wayne
was alone in the car except for wOm-
an who sat some distance away with
her back toward him.
Wayne aroused himself, went outside
and aCcosted the two men.

ten-mile hike to the nearest telephone.
Believe me, this IS dismal place to

Wayne groaned. Next to grabbing
money he liked eating, and his stem

I'm starving he complained. Isn't
there chance for a feed?'
The two men smiled.
"There'S just one way l know, Of"
said one of them. There's lady in
the car who has some provisions with
her and she filled us up. I've seen her
before on this run. She has a store in
Rose City and another ut Carlton. Per-
haps if you'd ask her she'd give you
some dOughnuts."
Wayne WINGED and tried to convince
himself ne wasn't hungry. Doughnuts!
Not for I6 years had he eaten one.
He returned to the car and never
looked ut the lady in front of him. He
resumed his place at the window and
tried to sleep, but his stomach wouldn't
let him. He pictured mentally nice,
large, brown, sweet doughnut with a
hole in it, and his mouth watered

Wayne heard noise at his side and
turned to see the lady passenger hold

"Have one" she said with a dazzling
smile. She could not have been more

couldn't help feeling there was some

MARION. Ohio. August 2S.-That
college debating society at Iberia
seems to have been responsible for
Warren G. Harding's entrance into
public life. He had learned to talk on
his feet-"though he did teeter around
on his heels when he spoke in those
days"-as his friends testify. And
his young speeches were. filled with
gorgeous imagery and glittering
figures.
"W. G. was a powerful orator when

plain man to find ott just what he

Not a Born Politician.
He was not one of the natural born
politicians. That is the universal.Yer-
dict of his associates. He seems not
to have cared for office-though no
doubt fattered by the demand that
he ran for office-and the chicanery
and camoufage of the profession OF
politics seem to have repealed nm;
But he was a good party man, and
when his party chiefs insisted that
he run for the good of the party
| there was but one reply possible. He
ran.
! He had placed the Star on its feet
by fair dealing and avoidance of the
| sensational or the unpleasant per
sonal. and by the persistent pursuit
! of the small items Of interest. In
those early days the average country
editor filed a claim on the local post
Office just as soon as his party got
into power. Harding never asked
for or desired any of the lesser
political posts That added to his
standing with the local leaders of the
republican party as a non-trouble-
some asset, and they wished to honor
him.

better roads and better courts, ana
