know"
During the remainder OF Mrs. IN
derwood's brief call she ignored
Diclxy, and devoted herself to me-
There is no denying the fact that she
has great charm when she chooses to
exercise it. Dicky, however. appeared
entirely oblivious of it, sitting in
moody silence until she rose to so.
"You ought to prescribe that
Crouch" she carelessly advised. as he
stood holding the door open for her.
Carefully corked in a glass jar, 1t
ought to keep TO give to your grand
children as a horrible example"
Dicky grinned reluctantly and bowed
with cordial adieu to me. but no
sooner had the door closed behind her
than he turned to me angrily.
Look here, Madge," he exclaimed.
ARE you really in earnest about TAX
ing that blasted position?"
why, of course I am answered.
TT seems providential, coming just
as you insist upon having the maid.
I can engage one with a clear con-
science now
Dicky sprang to his feet with a
muttered word that sounded suspi-
ciously like an oath, and began to
walk rapidly up and down the room,
his hands behind his back, and his
face dark with anger. Up and down.
up and down he paced, while I, sitting
quietly in my chair, waited, nerving
myself for the scene l anticipated.
When it came, however. il surprised
me with the turn it took. Dicky
stopped suddenly in his pacing, and
coming swiftly over to me, dropped
on one knee beside my chair and put
his arms around me.
Sweetheart" he said softly, II don't
want to quarrel about this, nor do /
wish to be unreasonable about it. But,
really, it means an awful lot to me. /
don't want you TO do it. Won't you
give it up for me?''
L returned Dicky's kiss, and held
him tightly as I answered.:
Dear boy I'll think it over very
carefully. If I possibly can, will do
as you wish. But, remember, say II
can. haven't made you definite
promise yet"
But you will. 1 know; that my own
dear girl Goodbye. I'll have TO rush
back TO the studio now"
Dicky's tone was light and confident
as he rose. Life always has been easy
for Dicky. I heard him say once he
never could remember the time when
ne didn't get his own way.

Florida Press Opinion,
Smithwick's Record Good.

1t is laudible ambition for any man to aspire to
be congressman, but when you have man that has
made the good record that Congressman J. H. Smith
wick has made why make a changer He has at
tended to every duty he has continually on the
job he has been accessible to any matter referred
him has been promptly and efficiently attended to.
His record and vote on every question demonstrates
the fact that each matter that before congress
was thoroughly considered by Smithwck before ac-
ton was taken His vote and efforts have been in
line and for the common interest Of his constituents
His experience and knowledge of affairs at Wash
inston certainly better qualify him the place than
any man who is opposing him. The people are not
so much interested in who represents them as they
are in the way they represented Our people like
rSmithwick. they believe him to be honest conscien-
tious and capable his record is unquestonable and
he is entitled to at least second term This priyi-
lege has been extended to congressman that has
proven himself worthy and Smithwick has fearessly
met the test, his acts and vote may not have met
with the approval of the special interests but it GER
tany has met with the hearty approval of the great
of the people that compose the voting strength
Of the district They behind him now and on
June Sth they will show the confidence imposed in
him by returning him to congress to continue the

DISASTROUS RESULTS ALREADY.

Failure of the United States to join the League Of
Nations already is responsible for very grave sit

If the league had been formed it would have been
incumbent on it to decide whether not the Ger
man regular troops to be permitted to enter the
neutral zone to put down the reds.
Germany appealed to France. Great Britain and the
United States individually for permission to send in
troops.

the Spartacists everywhere The chief seat of dis
