Ebert E. Martin, former as
sistant manager of the Wander
bilt Hotel, New York, has been
engaged as manager of the De-
troit Golf Club for the coming
year. Martin has been con-
nected with the Vanderbilt or
ganization for ten years. He
gained considerable fame in
connection with the attack on
the life of the late Theodore
Roosevelt at Milwaukee in
1912, as it was he who in a
large measure frustrated the
assailant.
At the time Martin was Mr..
Roosevelt's secretary and was
accompanying him on the tour.
When the first shot was fired
Martin leaped from the auto
mobile and seized the would
be assassin as he was about to
shoot again. In recognition of
his bravery Mr.. Roosevelt pre-
scented Martin with gold
watch.

CHAPTER XXXVIII
Daisy Makes Plans

OVER since that day when she had
~ taken tea with Nick. Daisy had
brooded over the fact that he was un-
happy.
She had fully expected that he would
turn to her for comfort. and once he
did that she was confident that she
could win him back. She had learned
great deal since Nick had first come
into her life. She had learned how to
dress ricniy out inconSpcuously she
had forced herself to undertake course
of reading: she had developed great
deal. and she had her big trump card
to play at the psychological moment the
fact that she loved him.
She wanted n chance to show him
how much she cared and how much
her caring could mean to him. She
was confident that once she had him
back she would have no difficulty In
winning him away from his cold. selfish
wife. Daisy had never seen Carol, but
inwurdly she despiscd her. She char
actcrized her as hcartless type OF
woman. interested in nothing but her
own life. and incapable of giving Nick
the love and affection he deserved.
But Nick had made no effort to get
in touch with Daisy. He had not tried
to 500 her. as she had been certain he
would and finally. in desperation, she
sent him Il little note.
This note was not sent to the apart
ncnt. 1t was sent to Nick's business
address. and for Daisy it was rather
clcvcrly written:
Dear Nick-Ever since that day
when we met by chance on the street, l
have been hoping that you would run In
to see me. have never forgotten you.
and should like to realize that we are
still friends. Always sincerely,
The note was written on plain white
paper unscented. Daisy secretly cher

She possessed some pale PINK paper
thr cnvclopes of which were lined with

that Nick would laugh ii she wrote to
him on that. She felt. with vindictive
little stab of resentment, that Nick
wife would never stOOp to colored writ
iur uaprr; that she would probably con

M much 70 be what Nick wanted her
to be in every way possible.
