XV.-In the Heart of Diamond

anybody else wouldn't have done, but he was sentimental old fellow Anyway, he gave me this diamond. Vandaveer knew him-and l guess he expected the diamond. Anyway, he thinks he ought to have it. Fact is, he's tried to get it once or twice. There That's enough of such a gloomy subject. Shall we go on now to the dancing club?'
 Dick replaced the diamond about his neck. Then he helped Mary on with her cloak, and they walked the few blocks to the club in question. Fate was surely at work that night, for the club they went to was none other than the one to which Eve Rochester had gone, at Julian Vandaveer's suggestion that she act as secretary,
 No sooner were they seated than Mary and Dick spied Eve and Julian Van daveer not far away, and a second later Eve saw them sense of guiitlness ran through Mary's sensitive mind. What would Eve think? If she actually was engaged to Dick, wouldn't she blame Mary for coming here with him?
 Eve, dragging Vandeveer with her, quickly made her way through the crowds to the corner where Mary and Dick were sitting.
 Well, of all things, Dick" she said, coolly lowing to Mary. ''Of all places to find you"
 Mary, covered with confusion, blushed. Moreover, she shivered little, appre- hensively. She had not liked Vandaveer from the first moment of meeting him. Now she feared him. For he knew about Dicks diamond, and coveted it.
 She covertly watched him and she saw his gaze wander to Dicks neck. Tomorrow-Julian Vandaveer Plays

 THIS YEARS LEAD CROP

breadth of the land when he appointe1 l Dr. Notaw. For that reverend gentle man is the husband of a sister of the President. But his sole critics have been the 4s applicants who were dis appointed. And all of them are repub- lican in faith.
 STORY OF SHEEP
 The democrats, as a rule, think the President did the natural thing. pr. Votaw is a Seventh Day adventist and at one time endeavored to carry that doctrine into India After long serv- ice at home and abroad, it developed beyond peradventure that the sheep did not adequately reward the shep- herd, so with many salty tears, the shepherd abandoned the sheep, and sought a job carrying a wage.
 In pursuit of employment he sought his brother-in-law who was then senator. and his brother-in-law made him assistant to his private secretary. George Christian. When Senator Willis succeeded Senator Harding, he re- tained pr. Votaw. who on account of his relationship to the President had been transformed from a liability to an asset. In the meantime pr. Votaw had picked out job which he thought would suit and please him, and asked for it. The President granted the re- quest immediately.
 Mrs. Votaw, about the time the sheep of her husband fell down on their job. also went to work She served as an inspector of public schools in Washington, and later as a police woman.
 A NAGGING LEAGUE
 The grumblins of the 46 disap- pointed applicants is about all that mars the serenity of the Harding sd- ministration-that is with the excep- tion of the Anti-Saloon league which has never beheld a silver lining. The league is nsinuating it's complaint rather than expressing it. It is nag ging quietly but consistently.
 It is Igrieving now because the first pardon issued by Harding was in fa- vor of a bootlegger, and about 20 of 2S issued have removed from the tolls of law those in some fashion involved in prohibition violations According to tine league, Harding would never have so grievously offended, but for the recomme endations of Attorney General Daugherty, "notoriously wet"
 And then they whisper that Harding formerly owned stock in a brewery, and Secretary Mellon owned the Over kolt Distilling company. But the Presi- dent pursues the even tenor of his way.

S Reply to
Its Invitation to

Country's Position Already

Toxic, Aug. 20.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press.)-Japan's formal an
swer to the American invitation to
participate in the conference on dis
armament and far eastern questions
was discussed by the cabinet yester-
day, but it is probable its dispatch to
Washington will be delayed a few
days. At present it is forecast that
the reply will be in the nature Of a
reiteration of the position of Japan,
which has been voiced in formal
notes sent to Washington.
Some newspapers profess to be dis
turbed over the expression in the
American note that there would be
discussed matters which have been
and are of concern" but officials
seem to consider it logical as carry
ing out Americas original position
that the powers themselves, either be-
fore or at the formal sessions in
Washington, must define the agenda
of the conference
Pressure continues to be brought
to bear on Premier Hara to go to
Washington If he decides not to at
tend, Viscount Uchda, Japanese
foreign minister, may be the chief
