NEW PARTY PROPOSED

DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler, OF
Columbia university, is for form
ing a new party. He thinks a
Democrat Republican partyshould
be organized to represent "the
predominant liberalism of Our
people" Recently Frank \.
Munsey, the steel magnate and
publisher, attracted more or less
attention by advancing some such
idea as this. Mr.. Munsey per-
formed, we believe, upon the Oc-
caSion of the bankers convention
in New York. 1t may be that
great minds run in the same chan
mel. If so. this would help, but
one wonders whether DR.. Butler
and Mr.. Munsey could agree upon
d platform that would stand for
the predominant liberalism Of
our people A very wide field
for discussion is here opened up.
1t would certainly keep these emil
nent gentlemen talking until after
the next Presidential election.

MR.. HARDING AND HIS FARM

dirt farmer, like the Secretary OF
Agriculture ought to be, and gen
orally is not. The danger is ever
present when town farmer buys
some land, and when one is a poll
tician, to say nothing OF a states
man. it will not do at all.
Buying a farm may cost Presi-
dent Harding his job. The Presi-
dent recently bought the old home
place in Ohio, the Place of his
birth. Busy friends are explain
ing that it was purely a senti-
mental enterprise, but reports
were Immediately set in motion
to the effect that Mr.. Harding
had begun to yearn for the simple
life. and that he would retire at
the end of his first term. He
would not only retire, but would
90 back to the farm. The idea
that the President had under con-
sideration some such plan as this
was strengthened by the report
passed along about the time of the
farm purchase, which attributed
to the President the statement that
it was a hard life the President
was leading. that the cares and re-
sponsibilities incident 10 the eXalt-
ed office were too much for him,
and anyway, no man clothed in
his right mind, would care to
serve two terms in the White
House.
Now a report emanates from
the region of the White House,
obviously inspired, that the Presi-
dent has heard no call to the SIM
pie life. that he is just beginning
to get his hand i'll, and thai, he had
Purchased the farm in question
because to do so was in line with |
= dream he had cherished for |
many years. He might go back |
there some day, but not in the |
near future if the dear people |
would permit him to remain in
the White House.
Presumably, il the longing for
barn yard scenes get to the point
where it cannot we'll be resisted
he can, following the example Of /
his really distinguished pre-
descessor, put some sheep on the
White House lawn. This ar
rangement would no doubt be sat
isfactory to Laddy Boy.
Those who are just now doing |
some timely explaining for the
benefit of the White House point
out that the failure OF the Repub-
licans to renominate the present |
OF the White House
would be construed by the coun-
try as an admission of fatal weak
ness on the part of the Party. 1t
would be an admission that the
Grand Old Party had failed to
function, and to govern.
And so it would. 1t would be
particularly true in this case. The
idea is that in order 10 escape 4 !
charge OF weakness, the party viii
again have to accept a weak can
didate. Mr.. Harding was looked
upon as a creature of circum-
stances at the Republican national
convention. He won out in the
process of elimination. 1t IS gen
orally believed that any man in
the White House will broaden
out some i'll the very nature OF
the case. but no considerable Num-
Der of his best friends would
argue that Mr.. Harding has
grown very great,
In the language OF the inspir-
ed White House statement, which
told how Mr.. Harding would GER
taiulv be a candidate to succeed
himself. it was explained, as
hitherto stated, how the President
had hardly gotten a good start in
the matter of his legislative pro-
gram. 1t is true that the PreSi-

CHAPTER XVI
Under Arrest.

Molly saw it all as If In q dream.
The hideous presence of her assailant
was still with her. Then she saw
Hackett and Bowyer pull pistols from
their pockets. And each act was ex-
tended in her mind and vision through
an eternity, as if it would never end.
She sprang to the table, seized the
oil lamp, and hurled it at their backs.
1t struck them fairly, sending them
staggering before they had time to
fire. Instantly the curtains before the
windows were ablaze. A stream of
burning oil shot across the floor to the
divan, which began burning furiously,
filling the room with smoke. Wilton
and the two men closed.
There followed a furious struggle.
The combatants rolled over and over,
stumbling against the burning divan,
knocking over the chairs, crashing In
to the walls. All the while Mcdonald
hammered. at the door and added his
shouts to the uproar.
Molly darted across the passage and
released him. "They're numbering
VIII" she cried. But the old man,
staggering out, only shouted distract
eddy. Molly ran back. Hackett had
Wilton by the throat, and, as she
entered the room, Bowyer wrenched
himself free, raised his pistol, and
brought the butt crashing down on
Wilton's head. Wilton toppled back
into the blazing oil.
Bowyer aimed, but Molly knocked
up his arm, and the shot went wild
Bowyer turned upon Molly with a
CHASTITY grin.
Oh you!" he shouted, raising his
pistol to strike her down. Mcdonald
sprang between them. Hackett pulled
at Bowyer and dragged him to the
door. He whispered in his ear, and
Bowyer cursed him. They clinched in
the passage.
Molly was unconscious Of what was
transpiring. She had rushed to Wilton,
and, grasping him by the shoulders,
pulled him out of the flames. Selling
him in her arms, she began madly beat
ing out the fire that was licking his
clothes and hair. She tore off his blaz-
ing, coat and with it extinguished
them. Then. holding his head against
her breast, she staggered toward the
door through the thick smoke, Nc

had the wound painted with iodine and

He called the second dsmounted

pace toward the portage.

curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been

preparation 1 have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in

suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large a

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have

Bowers Hour.

DS"ySi ilSN's
Bower looked the incarnation of in
science and triumph as he stood in the
doorway, red-faced, red-haired, like
some sleek fox that has put off its
habitual cunning because it is at last
secure from danger.
His vicious eyes fixed themselves
upon the girls face as she fastened
back the hair that hung about her.
THAT brute was rough with you,"
said Bowyer. "But l guess you gave
him better than he gave you. l guess
he got what he deserved. l told them
you weren't to come to any harm.
Well, Mcdonald, they didn't use you
too rough, eh?"
ave were brought here by force and
violence" said Molly defantly. "Are
we to be kept here in the same way?"
Suddenly Bowyer stepped forward
and took her hands. "Molly-listen
to me now" he said. 'Listen quietly.
Pm not going to hurt you. I love you.
I've got to have you, Molly. But I
want you to love me- Let's forget it
all. What'd you say, Molly? Did you
ever think of what I've got to offer
you"
She tried to draw her hands away,
but he held them tightly, and, remem-
bering her resolution, she stood with
them passive in his own.
whats your answer, Molly?" asked
Bowyer.
"Neverw she cried. "You knew
that! Did you think 1 was going to
change because you had had me kid
mapped and inflicted this outrage upon
me?"
Bowyer turned toward the factor.
"Maybe she'll obey you, Mcdonald" he
said softly; and something in his tone
arrested the girls attention.
Mcdonald was gray with fear. He
leaped up. molly, he means It'll" he
screamed. 1--WE can't escape him.

He'll get you as he's got me. Molly,
say yes to him, because he's won.
He'll get what he wants, anyway. And
it's no shame to see when you're
beaten, and to give way"
The sight Of the trembling old man
swept away all the girls resolve. Her
loathing for their prosecutor drove her
to frenzy. She tore her hands from
Bowers, ran behind the divan and
snatched up rifle that stood there.
she raised the stock above her head
with both hands. ",'
"If you touch me again I'll kill

Bowyer looked at the factor. "Then

"For years I've stood by you and
shielded you--"
The factors hands went up as II he
we're warding off a blow, and there
was the mute appeal of n whipped dog

He slid his arm about her waist and
bent his red face toward hers. For an
instant the girl misunderstood Then
she leaped to her feet, her eyes blaz-
ing.
Get out of my way, Tom BOwyer!
II you try to stop me I'll murder you"
she screamed.
She ran round behind the divan,
snatched up the empty rifle, and, as
Bowyer followed her, brought down
the stock with all her strength.
Had it struck his skull it would have
knocked him unconscious. But in the
nick of time he leaped aside, and it
fell across the muscles of his neck
and shoulders. With a howl of pain
he Wrenched the weapon from her
hands. He beat her across the face
again and again with his fists. He
seized her by the hair, twining it In
his hand, and, forcing her head back,
put his hands over her mouth.
She tried with all the strength she
possessed to pry his hands away; the
red and swollen face that leered into
her own seemed to fill all space, like
a huge, evil sun. With all the strength
that remained In her she tore at the
