her way home alone. Before Virginia had left the studio Herb Richsrdson called for Gloria. Finding her roue. he took Virginia in his ear. She mo- uced he was not taking her home. Alarmed, she protested. He explained he was taking her to a place he could discuss his affairs with her. As the motor purred along, mile after mile, Virginia found n side to Herb Rich nrdson's character which she had Iit- tie suspected. He quoted to her Du- merous passages from Thomas Hardy's famous "The We'll Be-Loyed." He showed Virginia that apart from wrong influences he, too, was real man. Virginia urged him to repeat his conversa ton to Gloria she urged him to marry Gloria. On their motor ride Herb RIchardson ex- plained to Virginia that he was a df- .yorced man md gave his version of the affair. In brief, the woman he courted was wholly different after marriage. He feared the unknown side of matrimony. That's why he was afraid to marry Ria. Ria met Herb and Virginia at the door, She demanded that he explain the night before. He satisfied her. declared his love for her. She demanded he give proof of his willingness to give m drink. She told of her childhood and of seeing drunken father strike her mother. At. this Herb winced. He had struck his first wife. He left.
 GLORIA's LOVE
 Virginia Winston, what are you talking about?p demanded Ria. "Who told you that Herb had been mar ried?"
 He told me"
 "He never told me- she said in a little hurt voice. He must be very much interested in you"
 Now don't. Gloria. People tell things to strangers that they would not tell to those they love best. | knew that was true when Herb gave me that explanation for giving me his confidence. He didn't dare put it to the test with you, for if you dis agreed with him it would hurt him so He cared nothing about whether would disagree with him or not"
 But tell me, tell me about it." she demanded with eagerness. Don't go into long explanations of motives, Virgie. l thought at first that was why l liked you. It was new slant in girls mind to me. But just now wish you would tell me what he said and explain afterward why he said it."
 Then I told her. Her eyes grew somber IS l described Herbert Rich ardson's first love, the woman who had taken his boyish illusions. Her beautiful eyes were big and round and curious when I came to the de- cription of Coralie. I did not have to tell her that Herb thought that Cora. lie and Ria were much alike. for she said: sass q.
 You don't think am like that, do you, Virginia? Do you?"
 "No. dear. I do think you are az gressive; l do think you like to have your own way"
 But. virgie, you know my way is best for Herb.-7 sss
 1T know you are honest in think ing so, dear"
 Do you think it is right for him to go on drinking and having these wild parties? If You do. you have never seen the other side of him. Why Virginia, Herbert Richardson could be one of the most wonderful men in the world. He has a wonder full education. a,great fund of literary knowledge and Is of splendid breed ing"
 T know 1t. Ria. In telling me of his past life he quoted from every au- thor, it seemed, ancient and modern.

 And he didn't drag them in to mako himself Appear intellectual but be- cause his mind worked that way. don't blame you, my dear, for admir- ing the Herb Richardson you know. I don't blame you for trying to mako that Herb Richardson live and to stamp out, if possible, the other one"
 But am I like that Coralie?" she insisted. "ls that the reason Herb is afraid to ask me to marry him?"
 With woman's intuition Gloria Sum mers' mind had jumped to the right conclusion. And with her characteris tic frankness she said:
 "Then I, too. have something to learn before I am really worthy to be his wife. Up to date, have thought that the reason he told me he loved me and offered me everything but marriage was because he knew of my drunken father and our abject pov- erty. wonder if he will forgive me when he knows that thought he was a snob for all loved him so.
 "Oh, Virgie. I love him so and hon estly I want him not so much because of myself but because l truly know that l can help him to be the splendid man that God intended him to be.
 But he hurts me so when he makes lazy love to all these women who hang around him only to separate him from his money, to guzzle his wines. to ride in his high priced mo- tors and to feed him flatteries which only are a fllip to his sex emotions. :,
 l looked at Ria with the great sur prise she never failed to arouse in me when she dropped the slangy ire sponsibility of everyday and became an earnest young woman.
 "Why do you look at me like that2., she asked. somewhat impatiently.
 Because I can never get over the surprise you give me when you are really yourself. There are two char acters in Gloria Summers just as surely as there are two in Herbert Richardson"
 "Virgie, there are two characters in every one.
 But that's that" she said with one of her quick transitions. Thank heaven, tomorrow will be another day.
 Did you notice how nice. Tommy Warner was to me today? I think the director is going to expand my part a little. Oh, if he does, if he does. virgie. The great dream of my life is to be able to go to Herbert Rich ardson and say; Yes. you are rich. we'll educated, cultured. everything that human being might desire, but all of these things have been given to you,- while I-I--have wrested from Fate the thing that I am. The world calls me an artist My name is mem toned by people I shall never know in admiration and even love-. Oh. Virgie, do you. suppose I can do it? Do you suppose I can do it?"
 Yes. my dear. because you have the right incentive-love.
 T don't know much about living people, but from what have read in the books in grandfather's library I think that never was a great picture painted, never was an uplifting poem written, never sweet strain of music sent out to gladden. the ears of the multitude. unless it was inspired by love. Always, even if unconsciously in the soul of genius there is the love of ono man for one woman, and of one woman for one man. No one bares his soul to the populace.

t. ]. p. DECIDES ID ENACT DEBT
 REFUND|NG BILL
Democrats, Forced to Oppose Measure, May Resort to FilibuSter to De-
 lay Passage
By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau. The Age Herald,
 800 Davidson Building.

Washington. January 2ot-(spe- Ecial )-Republica senators have eau c.ussed and concluded to enact the bill refunding the European debt of s11,- GOO, 100000 as hastily as possible, and without consideration of the opposi- ton of democratic senators. 3 Democratic senators, hopeful In the beginning that they could aid the ad ministration in adjusting the claims of the government against nations of Europe to the end that the business world might receive the benefit of a composed situation, will be forced to oppose it. They may even resort to | filibuster. It is determined that they will delay passage until such l time as full discussion might be had. For they are determined that the peo pie shall know the situation.
 In the beginning. the democrats asked that the debt be protected. The democratic leader. Senator Underwood of Alabama, declared on the floor that the measure, as it came from the ad- ministtraion, gave all power to Sec retary Mellon. He declared that such
 
 any Individual. In the finance com mittee, Senator Simmons of North Carolina. ranking democrat, endeav- ored to throw safeguards around the great snm>of money which even were Interest thereon collected, would have heneficient effect in relieving the tax burden of the American people But the Simmons amendments were defeated by the committee.
 What simmons Asked
 senator Simmons did not desire to tie the hands of Secretary Mellon. Here is all he asked for: That the maturity of the principal should not be extended beyond 25 years; that the rate of interest should not be less than per cent. payable semi-annu- ally, and that no part of the principal or interest should be canceled.
 When the Simmons proposals were defeated. the North carolinian con cluded that under the terms of the bill Secretary Mellon could charge no interest, if he so desire, or could even cancel the entire obligation. It is for such reasons that the democrats will oppose the bill
 The Senate committee, in a kind of arrogance that is difficult of explana- tion' threw into the discards one con servative amendment enacted by the House. The House provided that the four members of the commission to be raised who shall serve under Sec retary Mellon as chairman, must be confirmed by the Senate following their appointment by the President.
 The Senate committee. without ar gument struck the House amendment from the bill. Omnipotence in the disposition of s11.00o, ,0oo,0000 would be conferred on the Secretary of the Treasury by the bill as reported to the Senate.
 Democrats contend that the secrs- tary Is very able man. but that no man should be trusted with unlimited power in matter of such transcend ent importance.

POWER co TO.
EXTEND LINE
(From Saturdays Daily

The California Oregon Power COM
pany announces that it has entered
into an interconnection contract to
supply power to the Mountain States
Power company Tor period OF 80
years, which power is TO be used
throughout the rich and fertile Will
lamette valley.
In order to supply this power, the
California-Oregon company will con-
struct a 115-mile high tension trans
mission line of 10000 volt con.
struction which will extend from the
Prospect plant of the company
through the Rogue River and Ump-
qua valleys into the upper William
ette valley, where it will connect
with the transmission system of the
Mountain States Power company at
Eugene.
This project stands out as one of
the most important power develop
ments of recent times, as it will
close the last gap of the longest in
terconnected power transmission
system in the world, extending from
northern Oregon to the Mexican
border.
Construction Work to Begin Soon
General Manager Paul B. Mckee

transmission line will have capac-
ity OF $4,000 horse power.
