her. She even shut her eyes to try
and blot out the recollection. She felt
that she had been contaminated.
Presently Madeline Hammond again
awoke to the fact she had learned
the preceding night-that there were
emotions to which she had heretofore
been a stranger. She scarcely remem-
bered when she had found 1t neces-
sary to control her emotions. There
had been no trouble, no excitement,
no unpleasantness in her life. 1t had
been ordered for her-tranquil, luxu-
rious, brilliant, varied, yet always the
same
Then Madeline heard Florence rap
on the door and call softly:
Miss Hammond. Are you awake"

Presently there we're slow, reluctant
steps outside the front door, then

eline's glance ran over him swift
as lightning But as she saw his face
now she did not recognize it. The
mans presence reused in her a revolt
Yet something in her, the incompre-
hensible side of her nature, thrilled In
the look of this splendid dark-faced
barbarian.
'Mr Stewart, will you please come
in?" she asked after that long pause.

lessness of his tone meant that he
knew he was not fit to enter a room
with her, and did not care or cared
too much.
Madeline went to the door. The
mans face was hard, yet it was sad,
too. And it touched her.
II shall not tell my brother Of your
your rudeness to me-" she began.
It was impossible for her to keep the
chill out Of her voice, to speak with
other than the pride and aioofness Of
her class. Nevertheless, despite her
loathing, when she had spoken so far
it seemed that kindness and pity fol-
lowed involuntarily. II choose to
overlook what you did because you
were not wholly accountable, and be-
cause there must be no trouble be-
tween Alfred and you. May 1 rely on
you to keep silence and to seal the
lips Of that priest? You will spare

His hoarse reply was incoherent, but
she needed only to see his working
face to know his remorse and graft
tude.
Madeline went back to her room;
and presently Florence came for her,
and directly they were sitting at break
fast. Madeline Hammond's impress
sion of her brothers friend had to be
reconstructed in the morning light.
She felt a wholesome, frank, sweet
nature. She liked the slow southern
drawl. And she was puzzled to know
whether Florence Kingsley was pretty

~ It brought keen Disappointment
and by all citizens Of all political
parties who hoped and expected
that President Coolidge would put
his administration upon a high
plane from the outset, the appoint
ment Of Slemp is sincerely de
plored.
The trafficking in offices by a
certain element Of Republican lead
ers, especially in the Southern
state, has long been a national
scandal. Such office jobbery in
politics is even more reprehensiblc
than Newberryism which the Amer
lean people so strongly repudiated
at the polls in 1922. In December
of that same year, Mr.. Slemp, then
a congressman from the Ninth dis
trict Of Virginia and the RepubG-
can national committeeman from
the state, was exposed by Con
gresham T. W. Harrison, of Viz
ginia in a series of letters writ
ten by Slemp and his secretary, l..
B. Howard, to B. R. Powell. the
Republican referee in that state. in
connection with postoffice and 9TH
er appointments and the collection
Of money from applicants for those
offices. When the exposure was
made it was claimed that the money
collected was for political pprnos-
IS, but the moral turpitude existed
just the same.
The appointment of Mr.. SIemp
necessarily carries with if an ON
dorsement of office iobberv in poli-
tics through official recognition of
the most CONSPICUOUS Republican
leader of the South whose connec-
