CHAPTER ".

She had always been. when he last
saw her. the outstanding beauty Of
Syracuse. but he was astounded to be-
hold what the interval Of two years
had done for her. She had taken up
on herself a new maturity: her figure,
exceptionally graceful. was still slen.

tie was being presented to her |!
He. who had kissed her Z thousand
times, was undergoing the ritual Of
presentation and she was smiling AT
him with those grave, sweet eyes of
hers. and calling him BY his adopted
name! His mask Of protection had
never seemed so slight. 50 insufficient |:
the fragrance Of her. and the Illusion
caused by this, threatened his bal

visited BY a species Of self-hypnosis.
II he had been moved at all by the
sight Of Angela, whom he had loved
as a younger sister. he was. by COM
parison. shaken as by q whlriwind BY
the sight Of Carol Durant. whom he
lad loved 40 . woman. Not on the
train, not at the hotel. not even when
he witnessed Angela's severe grief,
had he remotely conceived that this
instant would be SO difficult to sur.
mount. What In New York had SEEM
ed regeneration. and earlier on this
same evening had appeared very
dubious deception, was rapidly taking
upon Itself the color Of irremediable
wrong. His Imagination was aroused
beyond belief; and as he stared In
dumb suspense at Carol. recalling
thousand episodes and a thousand
privileges Of the long ago. he was
preyed upon by a slow.stealing grim
ness Of despair which left him sick
with misery.
She was waiting for an answer
and the others were waiting. too. and
watching him. He felt that guilt was
stamped on his every feature 1.

Roger Sullivan.

Thousands who really knew the man and
bis work will sincerely mourn for Roger Sui
iiyan. He was political boss and controlled
the machinery of the Democratic party in
illinois, but his influence was far from An
unfnixed evil. He was valiant fighter. Thai
( Is why he won the position he held The pub
lie impression OF him was largely created by
his political antagonists for their own ENDS
At the same time most of them appreciated
ard even admired him as a man and did not
hesitate to seek his favors when ii served
their purposes to do SO.
Mr. Sullivan rose from the people and he
never lost touch with them. When he was
working with his hands he was noted among
/ his associates for his physical strength. As
he rose in affairs his wisdom and sagacity
made him marked man. He was born lead
er, seldom meeting q situation that was be-
yond him.
Like every good fighter he loved to measure
his strength and his wits with others. During
his rise in his party he had occasion to chal-
lenge and do battle with leaders in all the
political units, from the precinct up to the
nation, and generally he came out on top. AS
the general in charge of the forces of his own
party during campaign he was a tower of
strength against the opposition.
When he was not fighting Mr.. Sullivan
found time to work on the constructive side
Of things and he did so with just as much zeal
as he put into his battles for political power
L Much Of the forward looking legislation en-
a acted in Chicago and Illinois during the last
4 score of years was passed largely because Of
Il the help he gave it. Generally he was or
4 the side of reform and whatever he favored
u felt the impulse of his support in no uncertain
|! manner. t.
II 1t never was the desire OF Mr.. Sullivan tc
II hold Office He preferred to have others veal
II the insignia. He was maker of Office hold
Ia ers, field marshal of politics. He was ricl
III but he did not rob the people. Personally h,
III was most lovable, easy of approach, kind O
" heart and always looking for the good, rathe
~ than the evil in men.

grades Of the public schools. Gym

ming, athletics. have not been prop
erly taught in the common schools,
because pedagogues have been too
ignorant themselves to see the
need OF these more advanced les
sons in the training of the mind.
Our whole common school sys-
TEN is at present cluttered up with
a mass of unattached and largely
useless learning, which normal
and healthy boy or girl naturally
detests and which only the abnor-
NAL or freakish child can absorb

A good teacher is one who makes
the child remember, not by Chinese
repetition, but by impression of the
fact through other channels than
sight or hearing.

1t is hardly necessary for Bryan to sug-

one and so will the Republicans. No party
will be SO blind to the opportunities OF the
occasion as to miss this feature. Nobody
loves a profteer, everybody denies that he is
one and so far has been uniformly successful
in getting away with it. Parties have every

1.-THE DAILY SHORT STORY

Now Cara Saunders. though a
nice enough girl and most popular,
was, in Helene's estimation, a
penny torpedo, and she would not
even invite her to the little in
formal Elton at home the next
day. Only heads of departments
should be admitted to such festivi-
ties, in her mahogany apartments.
Even her little mother was rigor-
ously excluded from such func-
tons. One had to make the correct
impression.
So Helene, Systematically,
snubbed all except the rockets, and
left her orders for the morrow's
mousse and bon-bons, cakes and
ices, in Elton's caterers depart
ment.
On the way out OF the store she
met 4 smiling blue eyed man, whom
she greeted 'effusively. He, too,

Helene was busy all the after

her own finishing touches to her

Why Burglar Insurance Is Higher

Peculiar reasons for advances In costs are
not uncommon these days. but the excuse
gives BY surety companies for advancing
York city is the strangest Of them all.
It's al due to the scarcity Of servants. In
surance men say. So fearful are employers
that they will drive their household help away
that they tolerate appropriation Of clothing,
liquors and even jewelry and money rather
than to file complaint
Servants are privileged characters in the
homes Of the wealthy throughout New York."
said the head Of one surety company. In
many cases holders of burglary insurance
policies have cancelled their claims against
the company rather than to prosecute guilty
servant. knowing that this would mean the
loss Of his or her services
One New York lawyer recently refused to
allow his servants to be questioned regarding
$1,000 theft, Saying: Don't go near the
house. If the maids suspect you, they will
leave"
One Investigator reported . case in which
a young servant girl had. in two weeks. dis
posed of eight cases Of champagne and eight
cases of whisky by holding wine parties in
the kitchen for her friends and entertaining
them with choice liquors from her employer $
private stock. Although the owner knew he
could rot replace the missing beverages, he
refused to prosecute.
Why should burglars continue to run the
; risks OF their vocation when there's such a
cinch awaiting them in the domestic service
in New York? ~

nothing OF me. Do you think he is

to make him affectionate?
FUNNY MANS WIFE.
You can Judge your husband s
loyalty to you by the amount of
time he spends at home and the in
terest he shows in it. There are
many cases of men who cease to be
affectionate after marriage. but who
are loyal to their families and love
no other woman.
It is a rather hopeless situation II
your husbands nature is not affec-
tionate. Affection is born in peo-
pie. Try not to grieve over that
which has been denied you. You
have much for which to be thank
full, since your husband is good to
you and will get you anything for
your pleasure.
] Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a
young man Il years of age and am
engaged to a young lady of the
same age. A few nights ago we
dropped into a gathering. While
there she talked to several young
men and did not notice me at all
! On the way home We talked i;
over-not too pleasantly. In the
midst of it she slipped and called
me names. blaming me because she
was unfortunate.
We have been engaged for three
and half years. Do you think We
would be happy together or that
she would nag me?
LONELY-HEARTED JOB.
Since you are only 81, you will
have plenty of time to discover the
girls true regard for you. 1t would
be most unwise to marry, before
you are Is, since your tastes viii
most likely change during the foul
years.
You cannot judge the girl fairly

physical disturbance. Fern your
Judgment from the three and one
