CHAPTER LXXXvI.

Inc Dinner Invite.
Jimmy helped her into the ma
chine. He did 1t with a fine
grace. She remembered how he
used to hold her arm 30 hard,
keeping her back when they
walked along Mission street. She
said: Jimmy, since when so very
gallant?"
Always" He grinned. This
broke a hard tension between
them. You're prettier than ever,
Chickie."
"Ah, no, Jimmy darling-getting
old-I'm past twenty-five now"
And I'm thirty-one. Darn
queer, isn't 1t, the way the years
creep up? Doesn't seem so long
since you first put up your hair.
/ remember the day. You thought
you were the world with q fence
around it."
She said uneasiIy: "Oh, you
dear old "reminiscences! You al
ways could pull out the .mem-
Dries"
Jimmy colored ana began in a
great hurry to tell her Of the
islands and interesting people he
met and the summers life every
one led down thereN
He broke off from this to say
abruptly: II heard Of Munson's
death. A pity, wasn't it? He
had some pretty straight ways.
you don't know all OF them,
Jimmy. Jake did SO many prince
ly things for me-" A
II know. Mary's kept me
posted on about everything. Yet
I've wondered. Living alone, a
fellow does q lot of wondering"
He drove swiftly. They were in
the park now--the leaves OF all
the trees had a tender. shiny
look. Now and then beds Of
flowers flashed out jaunty and
young.
"Chickie-do you like the work
you're doing? Is the going
"oh, sometimes, of course"
Mary says you don't 20 out
much. Wonder II you get lonely. .
She guessed what Jimmy's
thoughts might be. and gave a
sort, wistful laugh. Then he
looked quietly at her and the
Tine. honest eyes demanded truth.
Remember that last day, Chick.
le! And things l said to YOU.
ana II you should ever want or
need Newell, have your"
on" For moments she couldn't
speak. for it seemed to her a noble
YET pathetic thing tina: Jimmy
should come now to redeem this
promise. For in his young Loy's
heart the Chickie that he loved
was gone, and he surely knew it.
He loved the white, flaming
beauty Of her girlhood. He had
watched its radiant blooming.
That was the thing he loved. the
thing he wanted. Yet now,
though 1t was gone, his loyalty
stood by.

COOLIDGE " I'll
GET ROYAL
VOTE
Princess KaWananakoa L
Delegate From Hawaii to
G. o. p. Convention
BY FRED j. WALKER,
International NoMa Service.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 24.-The
only royal delegate to the Republic.
an national convention, the Prin-
cess David Kawananakoa, of Ha.
wall, is today enroute to Cleveland
prepared to cast her vote for Presi-
dent Coolidge.
The Princess David has shattered
precedent in two ways; she is the
first member of royalty who has
ever had voice in internal Ameri.
can political affairs and she refused
to comment on her political victory
In Hawaii.
you see," said the Princess, "my
opponent was Princess Kalanian-
aole. my late husbands sister.in-
law"
While the Republican delegation
from Hawaii is un1nstructed the
nomination of President Coolidge is
favored by both delegates.
Our main objective, now that
the nomination of President Cool.
tdge is practically assured, will be
the securing of the six electoral
votes Hawaii possessed at the con.
vention of 1912, which are now
denied U.S." said the princess.
I'VE feel that the growing i'm.
portance of Hawaii in population
and industrial Importance is more
than sufficient reason for giving
US the additional delegates"
Princess David is the widow of
the late prince whose name she
bears, and is the daughter of James
Campbell, one of the pioneer settlers
Of the islands.
Hawaiian women, she believes,
are experiencing the same intel.
lectual freedom their sisters in
America are practicing today, al
though bobbed hair, among other
things, is not as universal in the
tropics as in San Francisco or other
American cities.

MEXICO SENDS TEACHERS
TO EDUCATE INDIANS

The department of education Of
Mexico. is sending as many rural
teachers as possible to the State Of
Chihuahua to meet the call for
education among the Tarahumara
Indians, the bulletin of the Pan.
American Union states.
These Indians formerly fled to
the mountains at the sight Of a
white man, but were won over
through an educational campaign
conducted by the Mexican govern.
ment. So eager were the Indians
for enlightenment that one of their
number offered his hut as the first
Peoples House." leaving only a
tree as shelter for himself and. his
family. Six other Tarahumaras fol-
lowed his example. These Peoples
Houses" are made centers Of
activity against drunkenness and
other vices.

Indians Prefer Red.

DR.. r. r. Garth of the University
of Denver has conducted research to
determine why Indians are given so
much to the use Of color and as to
the most popular color among them.
He found that among full-blodded
indians red was favored over all
other colors. Blue. violet, yellow and
white ranked in order. White men,
living under similar environment and
in the same social stage, preferred
blue first, then green and finally red.

Palestine was discussed by Abraham
Goldberg. New York. representative
of the Zionists' Association Of Amer
, lea. at a meeting of the Washington
district of Zionists at Central High
School last evening. Mr.. Goldberg
said the development Of Palestine was
| the aim Of the organization and great
strides have been made toward re-.
Mobilization Of the Jewish homeland
He said discrimination against the
Jew In this country was unwarranted
and that immigrant limitations were
too strictly adhered to in the case Of
Jews. These people, he said. will al
ways have to suffer for their Judaism.
When the Zionist movement was in
augurated about twenty-five years
ago, he said, it was the object Of
scorn and was scoffed at for it's
efforts to accomplish the impossible.
Now II has the support OF some half
million Jews who are cooperating to
establish that country in it's rightful
place among nations. The country
has been pillaged, ravaged and de-
vastated through the ages and no
efforts at Improvement were made
until the Zionist movement began the
ings, installation of electricity and
the utilization of its natural re-
sources.
Forget 1t Is Country.
People refer to Palestine as the
cradle of religion and forget that 1t
Is country. he said, and do not ap-
preciate the character of It's nation
ais. He said the cities, rivers and
mountains still retain the names
they had nearly 1000 years ago. The
Arabas, he said, had offered some
resistance to the plans for modern
izing the country, but this opposi-
tion is being overcome through edu-
cation.
ca as not only a country but said
It is half the world" He conclud-
ed by saying that the United States
was great and liberal nation,
thanks to God. and let US hope that
the Ku Klux don't change it."
Jacob Hackman, chairman OF the
executive committee of the local body
of Zionists, presented a silver low

tree and shrub-the whole scene was
like the work of some master artist.
Dressing hastily, John ran down
stairs making his way to the little den
at the rear of the dining room-his
own sacred sanctum. For there, the
evening before, after he had got away
from within reach of Jeans eyes, he
had hidden the precious package
which was TO give SO much joy to her.
He handled it lovingly as he went up
the stairs again, all the while a de-
licious feeling of happiness surging
over him as he thought how glad Jean
would be when she saw ii.
Tiptoeing softly across the room he
stopped down slowly and kissed her
cheek. Merry Christmas, sweetest of
women!" he whispered softly as he
placed the decorated package in her
hands.
Jean held it a while, her fingers
playing with the string that bound it.
1t seemed as if she was almost 10th to
open it, preferring rather to linger in
the delightful land of anticipation
a while. Then she undid the box very
slowly. A cry of delight came from
her lips as the beautiful gift was I'M
earthed from the many folds of tissue
paper-that surrounded it.
"Oh, joint John it was really too
good of you TO do this" she MUIR
INJURED. "How could you have known
that this beautiful fur was the thing
l wanted most. You dear, dear nan,
it was just too good of you. But how
could you have known it was just the
very thing l was wishing for?"
Then John told her the secret that
he kept from her for whole week
that beginning with the New Year
their income would be increased by a
good margin, but there was no en-
thusiasm or happiness in his voice
now. His throat felt dry and husky.
and his voice sounded strangely I'M
familiar even to himself He was
gazing with wide-open eyes at the con-
tents of the package that he had given
Jean, and in his face was bewilder-
ment and CONSERVATION For, Instead
OF the cape that he had purchased
there lay soft, beautiful fur, which
Jean was caressing with loving touch.
And between breaths she WAS telling

do with the addition 10 his salary. And

didn't you really want cape instead
of this fur. Wouldn't you have liked
it far better?"
"Why, no. john she answered
sweetly, all the while her fingers run

ming back and forth across the soft
ness of the fur. Il was half afraid
that you might buy me cape, from a
remark or two that heard you make,
but ] might have known that you'd I'M
derstand. That's the very incest thing
about you, John, you always seem to
understand without being told over
and over as so many other men nave
to be-"
But, Jean," he answered, catching
at last straw, didn't you say thai
night outside Bottoms store that the
cape in the window was so beautiful
that it would make any woman happy
and that you"
''Yes, know, dear, but was going
to add that it would be the last thing
that / would desire for myself. You
know the one Aunt Jane sent me
some time ago is just about the same
shade,~and then, too. my heart was Sc
set on fur like this that could not
think of wanting anything else just
now. So please quit worrying, Mr..
John Trenton, for you have brought
me just the thing that wished most
for. In fact, to tell you the truth, IL
you had brought me that cape would
have been fearfully disappointed, al
though, of course / would not have
told you so. But 1 am just happier
than l can say over the gift you
brought me, and also over your Won
derful news"
John did not answer. He felt sick
with misery and disappointment. Every
word that Jean uttered made the
telling of the thing all the harder.
For he knew now how the awful blum
der had happened. In the hurry Of
getting off the car the packages that
he and Walter Moore had carried had
been exchanged. He remembered 7ow
how similar the packages had looked
that they had both come from Boz
TONS At any moment now Walter
would be coming over after the fur
and then he would have to tell Jean
the truth-have TO present her with
Christmas gift that he now knew she
cared nothing for Her Christmas
would be spoiled and he had meant it
to be such happy day for both of
them. What laundering fool he had
been not TO have found out what she
had really wanted!
He fidgeted from enc foot to anoth-
er, but Jean was taking no notice of
him now. Instead the was still fin

ness upon her face. How could he
ever tell her that 1t really belonged
