Wilson, but they must have brought
to their solution all the unlovely

issue, Wilson must be the candidate.
The interview was given to a rep

which has always been the mouth
piece of the administration in all mat

publication the grooming of the pros

viewer detailed at length the impress
sions he had gained during the three
hours l spent with the President.
Judging from the variety of perform
ances described, Mr.. Wilson must
have put himself through all of his
best PAGES in order that the public
might be told how completely he has
regained his normal functions, and
how fit, mentally and physically, he is
to retain the reins of government for

CHAPTER LIy.

URING the week that followed
the question that had come
- to Barbara on the night or
her return from Boston recurred to
her often. only to be put from her
as one OF several things she must
not contemplate.
II Uncle Arthur had not been
eager to have her engaged to John
Brandon. then Aunt Cynthia had been
mistaken. that was all. Or II might
have been that Aunt Cynthia, know
ing the state OF the Paige exchequer,
had taken IL for granted that her
brother was anxious about his
niece's future.
Be Mat as IL might be. the die
was cast; the step had been taken;
Barbara was engaged to be married.
And the fact remained that Uncle
Arthur had expressed himself as
satisfied.
Then that subject must be dis
missed from her mind. What was
past was past. The future was her
only concern now.
The other subject upon which she
must now allow herself to dwell
was Robert Elliott. In spite of all
her determination. although she
brought conscience and will power
TO her aid, the thought Of him
would intrude.
He had not been in Summerfield
at ell this summer. In other years
he had run up at least twice
month for week-ends. This year he
had not done so.
One evening in September Tom
White, who had been on to New
York on business. informed Bar
bara that he had spent an evening
at. Roberts rooms.
poor old Bob is very pale and
thin" Tom remarked. He says he
is perfectly well. but his looks
belle his words. He has taken no
vacation.
Barbara did not know just what
to say. She wanted to ask many
questions. but dared not.
'It--it-must he hot in New York
in the summer" she fsltered, cast
ing about for some apt rejoinder.
"No worse than in other big
cities" Tom affirmed. But. you
see, Bob has never before spent a
whole summer in town, and he
feels IL. ] guess"
Uncle Arthur, entering the draw
ing room at this moment heard
Toms last sentence.

ed in chronological continuity. COW
ering the period from the emanci-
patton proclamation to the world
war. Mrs. Martins types are select
ed from those more familiar TO the
South than 10 any other part
OF the country. She shows the
negro mainly in the light OF his
good qualities, but makes no at
tempt to conceal his faults while eN-
tolling his virtues. Whether the
Martin that the white man has
shirked his duties and responsible
ties, the stories will prove interest
ing and instructive.
The Erst story, THE Flight" Is
a good example OF the whole book.
Written around Sherman's marcn
to the sea, IL reflects the complex
tiles arising in the relations be-
tween the races due to the
emancipation. Incidentally II shows
that war Is war, whether
fought in this country between
kindred peoples or in Europe,
between nations Of antagonistic
races. The incident OF the fugi-
tive. family and their burned home
stead Is strongly reminiscent pr the
invasion of Belgium.
The story describes the loyalty
OF The household servants to their
mistress. and reminds the wnite
race OF the duty 1t owes to the
negro. The author does. not en-
large upon the virtues of the
negro nor shield his crimes, but
asks for patience and justice.
Pom" explains the psychology OF
"hoodoo," "cunjah." and "tricking."
1t is the struggle OF old deeply in
grained superstitions with the edu-
cation of the younger generation OF
negroes.
The Sleeping Sickness" the best
OF the stories, shows the effect OF a
Iynching upon the negro. 1t deals
with an old nanny who made
cures with herbs and simples, who
is quite a philosopher in her deal
ings with the white folks. Fire
from Heaven" shows the effect of
too much theoretical education. The
story indicates that the forcing
process, applied to the education OF
the negro. cannot in a few years
put him on a plane OF equality with
the Anglo-Saxon, who has achieved
his measure OF civilization by CEN
turtles OF struggle.
.Malviney" and "Sixty Years
After" concern the negro in the
world war.

CHAPTER Xxx.

Cleland being young, required
sleep, and it was not until noon that
he awoks.
Cool-headed retrospection during
Tubing and dressing increased his
astonishmene at the manner in
which he had spent his first day in
New York after the years of alb
sence. For into that one day had
been crowded a whole gamut of ex-
periencc and OF sensations that
seemed incredible when he thought
them over.
Every emotion that a young man
could experience seemed to have
been called into play during that
bewildering day and night-curios-
ity. resentment, apprehension, an
ger, jealousy. love. passion. AND
their swift and unexpected sequence
had confused him, wrought him up
to pitch of excitement which set
every nerve on edge.

Breakfast was served in his room
and he ate it with perfectly
healthy appetite. Then he lighted
cigarette and walked to the win
dow again to stare silently out
across the sunny street and mar
shal his thoughts into some sem
blance Of order.
The aromatic smoke from his
cigarette curled against the window
pane and he gazed absently through
it at the vague phantom of girls
face which memory evoked unbid-
den.

Was il a determination to tear her
loose that had started the thing-an

the bond between her and Grismer
