evening breeze which swept over me.
1t has all come back as / would have
it come. We can be very, very happy
now. That is, if you'll give up talk
ing about the terrible old business
things you encountered in New York.
I'm entirely out of patience with
business and commonplace things. I
want to be loved, John, and loved in
the good, old fashioned way. Here"
She drew more closely beside him
and placed his hands about her as
she had placed them when they were
sweethearts. And there they sat for
many a minute that night, while in
her fingers she held the ominous and
Hateful letter. He thought Of asking
her to give 1t to him, then Of snatch
ing it from her. But these actions,
he concluded would only involve mat
tiers. No, he would be honest now,
even though he had been dishonest
before. He would be honorable now
or die in the attempt. He had learned
his lesson He had sought new life
beyond his own home, and had come
back a whipped and wiser man.
AS he was considering these things,
Mary slowly rose and walked to the
fireplace, in which a small blaze was
leaping. She smiled back at her hus-
band, and saw his lips move again as
he watched her handle the little
square envelope and paper. Now she
| would read it. OF that he had little
doubt. But she did not, Instead,
she held it high in the air SO that he
could have one clear view of it, then
she dashed it quickly into the blaze,
and it was consumed, curling up, as
they watched it silently, into ashes
that crumhbled and in little white
flakes drifted up the chimney.
There's my love letter." she said,
finally. you don't want me to read
my own mail. And if can't read it,
nobody will" She spoke lightly,
smiling, and in her voice was a note
of triumph.
But you don't even know what's
in it,"
why, my dear old boy, should 1
want to read it, when you're here to
tell me all that was in it, and more,
much more besides?" she asked calm
ly. "Td rather you'd tell me now
that you care than to have you write
it to me, darling, no matter how
many times you repeated it, or how
big the letter, or how fast it got
Mary he said passionately, ris-
ing and rushing to her side, 81 love
you love you as I have never
been able to love you before 1t has
always been pretty big love, but
now it is overwhelming"
His eyes were bright. AS if he
had thrown off a great cloak of dark
ness, he emerged happy, contended,
satisfied man. The letter was gone.
No evidence of his guilt. Maybe,
afte rail-, it was better she should not
know. Common decency ought to
have told him so before. He loved
Mary, so he ought not to want to hurt
her. Yes, the letter was gone. All
the horrors of an awful nightmare
wiped away. He had erred and he

. OUR LITTLE ARMY.

The United States is the richest
country in the world. It has more
than one-half of the worlds stock Of
gold and almost unlimited natural re.
sources. Such vast wealth is a con-
slant temptation TO militaristic ma
tons to attempt aggression, yet the
records show that America is the weak
est of the great powers so far as land
forces are concerned.
The authorized strength of the
American army is 125.000 men, but
the actual strength at present is only
10000 Before June 80. of next year,
more than 1900 enlisted will be sep
arated from the service. The problem
which the military authorities must
solve is to recruit men to take the
places of those whose terms of en-.
listment will expire. 1t is IAN under
taking that calls for unusual ability
and devotion to duty.
America spends for national defense
but 6 per cent of all taxes collected
and but IL per cent goes for the
maintenance of the army and its civil
ian components.
As an insurance policy against out
side aggression the amount set aside
for national defense seems pitifully
small, yet there are those who advo-
cafe still further reductions.-Seattle
Times.

LOOKS LIKE A SPLIT

George H. Moses, senator from New
Hampshire is back in Washington after
trip through ten of the western states,
NORMALLY Republican party strongholds.
In an interview, he declared that he
found the Republican politicians in those
states lining up for Mr.. Coolidge, but
he gave it as his opinion that Mr.. Cool
ilge would go into the convention with
out majority and that he would find
several strong contestants for the Re-
publican nomination.
But" Senator Moses is quoted as
declaring, there seems to be a friendly
sentiment for Mr.. Coolidge and all the
leading Republicans in the ten states,
seem to take it for granted, he will be
the nominee"
1t is an open secret in Republican
ranks that Clifford Pinchot hopes to rally
the, progressive element" of the old
Roosevelt crowd and make a try for
the nomination. He is an avowed can
didate and critic of the administration.
That he will be his party's choice, is
extremely doubtful. He is not viewed
as "a big enough man" and is not known
well enough in the west where, as head
of the Roosevelt administration forest
reserve policy he became unpopular in
many states.
Senator Wadsworth of New York
probably will have the New Workers
under instructions when they go into the
convention but if Mr.. Coolidge is guilty
of 10 political indiscretions, he probably
has little to fear in that quarter
Senator Hiram Johnson is another
"Rooseveltian progressive" who is looked
upon as an avowed candidate He will
detract. from Pinchot's strength if he
does nothing else. He stands a better
chance than the Pennsylvania in a
national convention.
Significant however is Senator Moses

REAL CRAFTSMANSHIP.

Definite announcement that the
Irish Free State will redeem the bonds
issued in America and Ireland in sup
port of the republican movement comes
as pleasant surprise. 1t is surpris-
ing because of the widespread talk
of debt cancellation by national debtors
and the customary attempt of new
governments to haggle over assuming
obligations of their predecessors. Of
ficials of the new Free State could not
legally be held for repayment of money
invested in lost cause. But they vol
unfairly recognize a moral indebted
ness, for, they say, the republican
movement led to establishment of the
Free State. They give a lesson in
good faith much needed by Soviet
Russia, whose obstinacy in refusing
to recognize the foreign debts created
by the cars in. the name of the Rus
sian people has brought down on the
distressed country the distrust of the
world. And the money the Free State
pays out in carrying and redeeming
the bonds will earn 100 per cent in,
