mand that the Republican party re.

the gratitude of all right thinking
people for the fearless position that
he took.
Now that the Republicans have
declared against the league In toto
and nominated Senator Harding, who
fits the platform, the Democrats have
clear issue. The great constructive

entered it. A man of reputation for
discFeet gallantry, a handsome man of
attractive culture, was encouraged by
her frank and unchilled attitude to.
ward him to try desperate measure.
Ihere was designing servant in the
house. The lover corrupted the serv.
ant and was introduced into the house.
The husband was supposed to be away
on business trip. He came back
ahead Of time, as husbands sometimes
DO, and stopped ut his club before he
went home.
friend Of the lover saw him and.
knowing what was being essayed ut
the mans home, was aglast. He in.
duced other friends of the lover to try
TO detain. the husband on one jovial
preteXt or another while he cOmmuni.
Gated with the house. He was unsuc.
cessful in his attempt to use the tele-
phone. The other men were unsuccess-
ful In their attempt to detain the hus,
band. The friend began race with
the husband to reach the house. I'm.
luckily for him. the cab he took not
only was pulled by the faster horse,
hut, he being conscious that it was a
race and the husband being uncon-
scious Of it. his driver had reasons
given him for speed.
1t was unfortunate for the friend.
because there was tragedy later, and
he was its victim. He arrived in time
to warn the lover. The lady, appalled,
by the appearance of the lover. aghast
to consider that she had been thought
so unworthy as to attract these atten-
tons, and suffering from confusion
which blunted her judgment, had not
called her servants, but had endeav-
ored with dignity consciously self
compromised to assert her self-respect
and recall her lovers reason.
In a turmoil of abasing emotions she
was engaged in this effort Of self-con-
troll and assertion of dignity when the
friend destroyed all composEre by his
announcement. The lover went in
stantly out of window. The FRIEND
having his own dignity of innocence.
would not compromise his self-respect
in this fashion. The husband arrived
upon a scene which could not be en-
planned. His wife, in spite of her eff
forts at control, was in hysteria. The
friends presence was ineXplicable.
Arrangements We're made to satisfy
honor. The friend was killed in fash
ion satisfactory to the police and Who'll
ly satisfactory to the outraged hus-
band.
There was the situation: an innocent
man dead, a wronged husband salts
fed. the wife absolved by the romantic,
lying statement Of the man who sacri-
feed himself, that in the transaction he
had been presumptuous and the wife
entirely guiltless-and the guilty lover
gone scot-free. But the servant knew.
Tremendous possibilities in this. Alcott
thought.
Then Alcott went to other stories. AS
he drank more. he made them personal.
