CHAPTER VII.
Crumblino Castles.

At the foot of the garden Beulah paused irresolute, the suitcase swing Ing gently in her hand She had made nc plans for the decisive step events of the day had forced upon her. but the step itself she felt to be inevitable. She was not in love with Jim Travers: she had turned the whole question over in her mind that afternoon, weigh ing it with judicial impartiality, sup posing all manner of situations to try out her own emotions, and she had come to the conclusion that Travers was merely an incident in her life, . somewhat inspiring incident, perhaps, but an incident none the less. The real thing-the vital matter which de- manded some exceptional protest-was the narrow and ever narrowing horizon of her father, horizon bounded only by material gain. Against this nar- rowing band of outlook her vigorous spirit. with its dumb, insistent stretch ings for the infinite, rebelled. It was not matter of filial duty; it was not matter of love; to her 1t was 6 mat ter or existence. Sne SAW her iueHIw dimly enough at best, and she would burst every cord of affection and con- vention rather than allow them to be submerged in the gray, surrounding murk of materalism.
 Perhaps 1t was custom and the subtle pullings of association that drew her feet down the path across the bench to the edge of the stream that gurgled gently in the still night The stars blinked strange challenge from the sky, as though to say, Here is the tree of knowledge, if you dare to drink thereof"
 At length she turned her back on the stream and took the path past the house and down to the corral, where she paused, her ear arrested by the steady drone of milking. A lantern sitting on the black earth cast little circle of light and threw a docile COW in dreadful silhouette against the barn. And by that dim light Beulah dis cerned the bent form of her mother. milking

Special Dispatch to The Tribune

Srccial Dispatch to The Tribune
DAYTON, Ohio, Aug. 2.-Governor
Cox to-day announced policy in
Democratic primary fights which is the
exact contrary to that followed by
President Wilson.
Governor Cox has been besieged with
appeals from several states that he in
dicate a preference, in one way or an
other, for certain candidates seeking
Democratic nominations in approach
ing primaries. His aid has been sought
particularly in Texas, where there is
to be run-off of the state primary
for the Democratic nomination for
Governor.
In Texas the main contest was be-
tween Joseph Weldon Bailey, former
United States Senator, and Pat NJ.
Nef, of Waco. Bailey received about
5000 more votes than Neff, the two
leading the field by substantial plurali-
ties. Bailey ran on an antiWilson
platform and followers of Neff have
been anxious to obtain Cox indorse-
ment of Neff for whatever it might be
worth IN Texas.
viii Not Take Sides
AS n result, Governor Cox definitely
announced he will not take sides in the
Democratic primary fight in Texas. and
added that this policy was the one
which he would follow in all states and
all primaries. He said any candidate
claiming his Endorsement therefore
was claiming something that had not
been given.
1t was pointed out here that Gov
ernor Cox was forced to this attitude
by the display Of Bailey strength in
Texas. Bailey's strong stand against
President Wilson precluded any possi-
bility of Cox indorsng him, but, on the
other hand, it would be extremely en-
barrassing to Cox in his own campaign
In Texas if he should indorse Netf and
Bailey should win.
This policy differs from Wilson's in
that the President never has hesitate
to enter primary fights where he had
some definite object to attain, 1t was
recalled that he came out decisively
against former Senator Vardaman, of
Mississippi. when he sought reelection
to the Senate. and this was held re-
sponsible for Nardaman's defeat
Gets Many Letters on League
Governor Cox indicated he has deter
mined upon the attitude that will be
adopted during the campaign toward
the League Of Nations. He gave ont a
statement saying he was surprised at
the number of letters he received
which dealt with the League of Ma
titns.
"a great many of these are from
Democrats" Governor Cox said. "These
larations of Senator Harding leave a
fine opening. There are many others
from Republicans and it appears that
the Independent Republican vote.
which has followed this entire league
question, is thoroughly dissatisfied"
This statement is taken to mean that
he is determined to meet the league
issue squarely and to keep it in the
forefront during the campaign.

ton costs entering into wholesale meat
prices, he asserted, naming the haul of
feed to cattle and the movement Of live
stock before killing, maximum effect of
the advance would be less than cent a
pound. On -four, he said, the increased
cost at Philadelphia would amount to 33
cents barrel, while on suit Of clothes
made on the Atlantic Coast and re-
tailed on the Pacific the increase
freight would amount to 0 cents.
"The great industries of the country
could amply afford to deduct the in
creased freight rate from the price of
their products" ne added, after present
ing sor.e statistics on profits of pro-
ducing corporations, thus allowing the
commodity to reach the retailer at the
same price as formerly. BY so doing
they would be decreasing their excess
profits less than one-fourth and would
still have left their full normal profit
and three-fourths or more of the excess
profit which they are now making.

Members Of the executive council
declined to comment upon the assump-
tion that broadly speaking the policy
of the committee of which Mr. Gompers
is chairman, points to virtual in
dorsement Of the Democratic party, in
the light of the friendly spirit of the

tions and legislation.
