Pennsylvania Funds
Hold Attention of
Senate Committee

Washington. Oct 2S-Inquiry into
Republican campaign funds was re-
sumed today by the special senate
committee with particular attention
being given to Penns ylvania. The
hearing was conducted by the two

hold separate investigation.
Reports filed with the committee
today showed that the Republican
national committee had received up
to October 20. s2,S29.9SS in contrbu-
tons, or within approximately SILL
600 of the three million dollar total
campaign fund fixed by Chairman
Butler
Although the hearing today dealt
almost entirely with contributions it
was charged by Walsh that the Re-
publicans already had spent $780,
600 in the campaign and planned to
spend a great deal more"
From the testimony of William L..
Mellon, who has charge of raising
funds in the "PittsburG district" 1t
was disclosed that Pennsylvania has
contributed 100000 to the Republic
can campaign fund. OF this amount,
the witness said, the "Pittsburg dis
trict' contributed s210.000 and the
remainder of the state s350,000.
Mr.. Mellon declared he hopes to
raise more funds. He declared that
none of the contributions exceeded
$4,000 and that he knew of no "slush
fund" being raised in Pennsylvania.
You do not regard fund a slush
fund unless 1t is used for illegitimate
purposes" Walsh asked.

High Speed Dries Tires
and Makes Blowout Easy

One of the most expert tire men in
the country recently called the atten-
ton Of motorcar owners to the man.
ner in which tire wear increases with
speed. The faster tire travels, the
more heat it generates internally.
Normal speed does not increase the
internal heat to dangerous degree,
but excess speed will not only raise
the heat above the danger point, but
may actually cause further vulcani-
cation to take place. This heat not
only dries out the friction gum be-
tween the plies Of fabric but the very
fabric itself, lowering the elasticity of
the tire, decreasing its resiliency and
weakening the tire SO that it will
blow out early.

CHAPTER VIII

The first heavy rainstorm of the sea-
son came early In November, upon
certain Wednesday afternoon. Indian
summer was all over now, autumn was
gone with its blaze of leaves. Branches
about the "Villino dell Orto" were
bare, and the earth under them was
packed with the sodden masses that
had been a glory of red and gold a
few weeks before. In the still, thin
air. smoke from wood and leaf fires
rose like incense over Wheatley Hills,
the mornings were darker, and now
for several days the air had been cold,
and the sky hung low and dark.
Weakening on this particular morning,
Ellen whose constant vigils were be-
ginning to tell upon her health, said to
herself YEARLY that 1t would be
Thanksgiving In two weeks, and won
dered where the day would find her.
Aunt Elsie had suggested that she and
Tommy come to Port Washington for
the MONDAY dinner, going back to
Wheatley Hills for the more formal
event of the evening. Gibbs. when
she mentioned 1t this morning, ap-
proved the idea, saying that he wanted
her to do what pleased her best, and
he knew that she would really prefer
the home day to the long. five-hour
strain of "Parsifal," to which he and
his father and Lillian meant to go, at
the Metropolitan. Ellen's face dark
ened visibly.
"But If you prefer the opera, why,
come with usl" Gibbs fastened to
say, politely.
His wife did not answer. She did
not believe his father, who was not
very well, would go to the opera. He
had expressed a positive dislike for
German opera. But Gibbs would buy
third seat, and on Thanksgiving
morning there would be the usual
hideous pretense of his and Lillian's
regret, their offer to give the whole
thing up, their departure together In
the CAR
But there was nothing to say. She
was dressed now, anu Tommy had
come leaping into the room, splitting
box of tacks as he came, and shout
ing gaily that Lizzie said it--felt-like

quarter pound of cyanide Of potash

CHAPTER vII-Continued

She had won him with the oldest
and simplest method. Lillian might
have said that there are many tools
for the opening of mans heart, but
hattery is the handle that fits them
all. She had fiattered him so steadily
yet so subtly that before many weeks
Gibbs had come unconsciously to hun
ger for the sweetness of her glances
and her words, had known that no
least charm or gift of his was unap-
preciated. She had told him that
there were beauties in his hand, in
the crisp curve of the silver hair from
his forehead, she had said that there
was sometimes look In his eyes that
made little boy Of him again. She
had hundred names for him; he was
"her firebrand," "her hawk" he
frightened" her, he was ''cruel" to
her. Sometimes she would thrill him
from head to heels by raising piteous
eyes to his face and half-murmuring,
half-whispering:
"Don'tAdon't look at me so, today.
Gibbs. I'm sad enough without that
terrible look of yours. 1t makes me
a naughty child again, GIbbs-pm
afraid of myself when your eyes say
things like thatl"
1t was no longer play-acting for
Gibbs, although there was no real
tragedy In it for him yet, there was
nothing but excitement and suspense,
and thrilled anticipation. He did not
definitely plan any future for their
love; perhaps he did not even call 1t
love. He was carried off his feet by
the atmosphere Of adulation In which
he was floating. and Lillian's extraor-
binary physical charm had bound him
tightly in her tolls.
With Lillian, too, the game had
progressed beyond its calmly defined
limits. She was absolutely incapable
of love, as she herself knew. She
had never loved any human being but
herself in all her life, although she
had cultivated in herself many of the
soft and endearing appearances of
love. The sex sense, also, was strong
in her, she had more than her share
of unfailing instinct in this respect,
and perhaps the only times when she
was truly happy were when she knew
herself to be drawing steadily toward
her some new admirer.
She loved the preliminaries, the
first full. innocent look into mans
eyes, the first significant phrase that
brought to his consciousness the
startling knowledge: 'Why, I am /,
and you are your She knew the pre-
texts by which he would manage to
send her a first note; she knew just
what to say and what to imply In her
first answer. and that he would keep

at her feet was delicious expert
