 Price Mckinney of Cleveland, then testified that Former Secretary Fall had sought late last year, when the committee was inquiring into Falls finances, to have Mckinney say that he had loaned s100,000 to the former secretary. That was before Fall made the same proposal to E B. Mclean.
 Senator Curtis issued statement explaining that he had purchased the Sinclair stock for his daughter, Mrs permclia Curtis George, and that 1t had been delivered to her in July, t5ee, under an agreement by which she deposits the dividends in bank to the account of her children.

Expression is the nucleus Of the
artists power. What is expression
1t is the process Of externalizing what
was in the artists mind, in some OBJ
ject OF sense that shall convey 1t to
others. The material used may be ac-
tual form and color, as in painting and
sculpture; or imaginary objects and
actions through the medium Of lam
guage, as In literature; or pure sound.
as IN music; always there is some ma
terial which is perceived by the
senses and Ineligible only through
their mediation. Slight, indeed, would
be the artists power and inept his
skill, If he should not so frame the
lineaments of his work as to stamp on
the senses of all Corners the same in
telligible image, and give for the bod
lily eye what the bodily eye can see in
picture, statue or story. The work of
art, however, is not merely the ma
terial object, but that object charged
with the personality of the artist. 1t
Is In his power to make that charge eff
fective that his true faculty of express
sion lies.-George e woodbury., In

to the wearisOme complaints Of long.
nosed young actor. 1t was the sixth
Of such conversations that he had held
that day; to begin with. there had
been a difficulty between q director
and the leading man. Morena's tact
was still complete: he was very gentle
to the long -nosed youth: but the latter.
had he been capable Of seeing any
thing but himself. must have noticed
that his listeners face was pale and
family lined.
Yes. my hoy. Of course. that's rea-
sonnble enough. I'll do what can"
II don't make extravagant demands.
You see." the young man spread down
and out his hands. Iuivering with ex-
| aggerated feeling: II ask only for de-
cent treatment. what my own self-re-
spect absolutely demands"
Morena put hand on his shoulder
and walked beside him.
Did you ever stop to think" he
said with his charming smile, "that
the other fellow is thinking and saying
just the same thing? Now. this chap
that has. ns you put II, got your goat.
why. he came to me himself this morn.
Ing, and. word for word, he said Of
you just precisely what you have Just
said OF him to me. Odd. isn't IT."
Again the young actor stopped for
one OF his gestures. hands up this
time. But. my Cd. sir! Is there
such thing us honestly He couldn't

We'll he thought he could. Howev.
er, I do get your point OF view and
think we can nx It up for you so
that you'll get on with your seif.re-
spcct entirely intact. III talk to
George tomorrow. You're worth the
bother. Good afternoon"
The young man bowed. his air Of
tragic injury softened to. one Of tragic
self.apprecintIon. Worth the bother.
indeed!
Morena left him at the top Of the
dlngy stairs down which the manager
f'ed to an alley At one side Of the
thenter. where his car was waiting
for him. lie stood for n while with
his foot on the step and his hand on

see It now. You never rightly looked

"Ah." said Prosper. He turned and
hid his face
Tell me the rest" said Joan.
He went on without turning back
to her. his head bent. "The woman
wrote that her husband was dying.
that must come back to her at once"
The snow tapped and the IRE
| cracked.
"And when yOu-went back!
"Her husband did not die" said
Prosper blankly; che Is still alive"
"And you still love her very muchr'
That's the worst Of 1t. JOAN"
groaned Prosper. His groan changed
into desperate laugh. II love you.
Now truly l do love you. II l could

my wife" He waited. breathing
fast, then came and stood close be-
fore her. II have never wanted a
woman to be my wife till now. l want
you. want you to be the mother Of
my children"
Then Joan did look At him with all
her. eyes.
II am Pierre's wife," she said. The
liquid beauty had left her voice. II
was hoarse and dry. "I'am Pierre's
wife and have already been the
mother Of your child"
There was long. rigid silence.

throat clicked.

During the heavy stiffness following
Joan's dreadful, brief account Of birth
and death. Prosper went through q
strange experience. It seemed to him
that in his soul something was born
and died. Always afterward there
was . ghost in him-the father that
might have been.

falntly. won't you please go:"
