THAT men with business ability,
breadth of mind, and sinceritf of
breadth is what is needed in public
office today.
THAT the country will have better
government only when the people
pay more attention to politics and
the ability of candidates to do the
work required.
THAT every voter should vote and
they should insist that capable peo-
pie be on the ticket
THAT it is not always the office
holder that is at fault.
THAT he is not always backed up by
needful laws.
THAT the voter should express some
of his opinions in the way he votes.
PEOPLE who are interested enough
in good government to vote should
soft pedal on some of their opinions.

was that noticeable newness about

ported, and both in color and model

whom l danced had something to say
about its unusual appearance. The red
heels too, came in for their share of
admiration.

THAT of the five human senses: See
ing, hearing, feeling smelling and

sable than the other four senses
combined.
THAT sight should be used more to
read carefully the news of political
matters so the voter could act wise
ly as to who to select and who to
vote for, for public offices.
THAT often men do not show public
spirit enough to vote.
THAT they often speak contemptu-
ously of politicians and complain
about high taxes, scold about the
lack of judgment of officials. yet,
they do nothing themselves to help
improve these conditions.
THAT frequently men slip into off

 Bailey came poorly through the ordeal: William Bannister, stern critic, weighed him up in one long stare, found him want ing, and announced his decision with all the strength of powerful lungs In the end he had to be removed, hiccuping, and Bailey, after lingering a few uneasy mo- ments making conversation to Kirk, de- parted, with such look about the back of him as he sprang into his cab that Ruth felt that the visit was one which would not be repeated.

CHAPTER XVIII

VT WAS in the third year of the White N Hopes life that the placid evenness of
 Kirk's existence began to be troubled. The orderly procession of the days was broken by happenings of unusual impor- tance one at least of them extraordinarily unpleasant. This was the failure of cer- tain stock in which nearly half of Kirk's patrimony was invested, that capital which had always seemed to him as solid part of life as the asphalt on winch he walked, as unchangeable a part of nature as the air he breathed He had always had it, and he could hardly bring himself to realize that he was not always to have it.
 His income was cut in half, and instead of being a comfortably off young man, idly watching the pageant of life from seat in the grandstand, he must now plunge into the crowd and endeavor to earn living as others did.
 For his losses did not begin and end with the ruin of this particular stock At intervals during the past two years he had been nibbling at his capital, and now, forced to examine his affairs frankly and minute ly, he was astonished at the inroads he had made upon it.
 There had been the upkeep of the sum- mer shack he had bought in Connecticut. There had been expenses in connection with William Bannister. There had been little
 
 Sung to action by his thoughts on the stronghold of those who exchange cash for artists dreams. He ransacked the studio and set out on his mission in a cab bulging with large small, and medihm-szed ,n- vases. Like wave receding' from h ';t,;E- water he returned late in the day, bT -'led failure. .
 The dealers had eyed his canvases, large, small and medium-sized, and, in direct con- travention of their professed object in life, had refused to deal. Only one of tkenl, man with grimy hands but a moderately golden heart, after passing sepia thumb over some of the more ambitious works, had offered him fifteen dollars for little sketch which he had made in an energetic moment of William Bannister crawling on the floor. This, the dealer asserted, 'Tas the sort of alarmed mushy stuff" the public fell for, and he held it to be worth .e if teen, but not cent more. Kirk, "amn.e by now, accepted three battereGi1 >l-ing bills and departed.
 He had long talk with Ruth that r.g1t, and rose from it in the frame of mind which in some men is induced by prayer.
 "I wanted you," she said in answer t. ms self-reproaches, land here we are, together. "It's simply nonsense to talk about ruin Eg my life and dragging me down. Wha does it matter about this money? We have got plenty left.'
 "We's got about as much left as you used to spend on hats in the old days"
