CHAPTER Xxx.

It seemed to Clavering that he
had run the gar4ut Of the emo
tions while listening to that brief
biography, SO sterilely told, but
there had also been times when
he had felt as IL suspended In O
void even while visited by flashes
Of acute consciousness that he
was being called upon to know
himself for the first time In his
life. And in such fashion as no
man had ever been called upon
to know himself before.
There was no precedent in life
or in fiction to guide him, and
he had realized with a sensation
OF panic even while she talked
that it was doubtful If any one
had ever understood himself since
the dawn of time. Man had GER
tain standards, fixed beliefs. ideals.

and not only in war. Every man
had at least two personalities
that he was aware Of, and he
dinly guessed at others. Some
were frank enough to admit that
they had not an idea what they
would do In q totally unfamiliar
situation. CIavering had some
times emblemized man and his
personalities with the old game
Of the ivory egg. A twist and
the outer egg revealed an inner.
Another and one beheld a third.
And so on to the inner un-
manipulatable sph ere, which
might stand for the always In.
scrutable soul. Like all intelli-
gent men, he had q fair knowl-
edge of these two outer layers OF
personality, and he had some
times had q flashing glimpse Of

Low Pay Threatens
Shortage OF u. S.
Judges

The United States may face
a serious shortage Of Federal
judges after the first Of the
year, Attorney General Harry
NJ. Daugherty predicted today.
A considerable number Of
judges have indicated to the
Attorney General they intend
to resign, being unable, it was
stated, to maintain themselves
and families on the $500 an
nual stipend paid by the Gov
eminent.
"District judges should be in
creased to $4,000" the Attor-
ney General said. "Thsir daily
allowance away from home
should be $15 instead of $40
per day."
The Attorney General said
there would be difficulty in
filling the places of those who
are expected to quit the bench.

KNOCKED" LINCOLN
Professor Promises To Upset Mnny
 Ideas Of Him.


 URBANA H., August 51.-tBy As- sociated Press )-To prove what he states is the falsity of some of the current beliefs and conclusions as ex- pressed in much of the literature on Abraham Lincoln. Dr. D. K. Dodge of the department of English, Uni versity of Illinois. this school year will conduct a course in Lincoln's letters and speeches. Dr. Dodge Is regarded as one of the greatest living authorities on Lincoln.
 T expect to show by documentary evidence that Lincolns famous Gettys- burg speech was not scratched on the back of an envelope while he was rid ing to that famous battlefield, but Was one of his most carefully pre- pared speeches and one upon which he worked about 10 days" Dr. Dodge said in announcing the course.
 The lost speech supposed to have been delivered at Bloomlngton, Ills, was not lost a | all, as it was delivered the next day at Galena, Ill. Contem porary newspapers described in detail the meetings at which Lincoln spoke but it was not then the custom of re- porters to attempt 10 quote the speeches and thus it was natural that no record of his remarks is found.
 Just as Washingtons home paper called him an old fool for signing the United States constitution. one Springfield newspaper ridiculed Lin coln's Gettysburg address, referring to his gestures as those of clown.'"
 This point is brought out by Dr. Dodge to indicate that much of the idealism with which Lincoln is re- garded today was absent while he was president, and added that criticism of President Wilson was very mild compared with that which Lincoln a t
