CHAPTER XII
The L~eopardess,

Pierre stood before the cheap bu-
eat of his ugly hotel bedroom turn
ing a red slip of cardboard about in
his fingers. The gas-jet sputtering
above his head threw heavy shadows
down on his face. II was the face of
hopeless, heartsick youth, the muscles
sagging, the eyes dull, the lips tight
and pale. Since last night when the
c~ontemptuous glitter Of Joan's smile
had fallen upon him, he had neither
slept o eaten. Jasper had Joined
him at the theater exit, had walked
home with him, and. while he was
with the manager. Pierre's pride and
reserve had held him up. Afterward
he had ranged the city like q prairie
wolf, ranged IT as though It had been
an unpeopled desert, free to his stride.
He Ind fixed his eyes above and be-
yond and walked alone in pain.
Dawn found him again in his room.
What hope had sustained him, what
memory of Joan. what purpose of ten.
derness toward her-these hopes and
memories and purposes now choked
and twisted him. He might have
found her, his gel" his Joan, with her
dumb. loving gaze he might have told
her the story of his sorrow In such a
way that she, who forgive so easily,
would have forgiven even him. and hi

yes. I've made up my mind to
that. That's what I've got to do. He
mustn't find me. We can't meet here
in this life. That's certain. There
are things that come between, things
like bars" She made a strange ges-
ture as of a prisoner running his fin

She smiled family. 81 think he will

won't know him. Never, never!"
That night the theater was late in
emptying itself. Jane West had acted
with especial brilliance and she was
called out again and again. When
she came to her dr~essing-room she was
flushed and GREATNESS. She did not
change her costume, but drew her fur
coat on owe the green evening dress
she had worn in the las Gene. Then
she stood before her mirror, looking
herself over carefully, critically. Now
that the paint was washed off, and the
flush of excitement faded, she looked
haggard and white. Her face was very
thin. its beautiful bones-long sweep
of jaw, wide brow, straight, short
nose-sharply accumulated. The round
throat rising against the fur collar
looked u~nnaturally white and long.
She sat down before her dressing
table and deliberately painted her
cheeks and lips. She eve altered the
outlines of her mouth, giving it a
pursed and doll-like expression, so that
her eyes appeared enormous and her
nose a little pinched. Then she drew
a lock of waved hair down across the
middle of her forehead. pressed another
at each side close to the corners Of her
eyes This took from the unusual
breadth of brow and gave her a much
more ordinary look. A coat of pow
der, heavily applied, more nearly pro-
duced the effect of a pink-and-white,
glassy-eyed doll-baby for which she
was trying. Afterwards she turned
and smiled doubtfully at the aston
ished dresser.
"Good gracious, Miss Westl You
don't look like yourself at oil "
"Goodl"
She said goodnight and went rapidly
down the drafty passages and the con-

"Yes. He's been waiting. I told
him You might be Int. Now, keep

that. Can you do IT,
"oh. yes. Is the cur there7 I won't

"Not an instant. But give him n

and don't change the expression OF

Good luck. I'll call you up MS soon

seen your pursuer safely back TO his

addressed to himself.
Joan opened the door and stepped
out Into the chill dnmpness OF the
April night. The white arc Of electric
light beat down upon her us she came
forward and II fell as glurlngly upon
the figure OF Pierre. lie had pushed

Schools teach, and nearly every home applies

When middle age comes, a great many

remember what it has done to them.
How much better it would be not to forget
and avoid the penalties!

By KENNETH CLARK,

The scene of the fight between
Democrats and insurgents in the
Senate and President Coolidge
over the nomination Of Atlee
Pomerene as one of the counsel
to prosecute the Governments oil
cases shifted to. the floor of the
Senate today after more than q
week in committee.
Although reported from the
Public Lands Committee with only
three opposing votes, cast by
Senators Walsh (Dem.) of Mon
tana, Dill (Dem.). of Washington,
and Adams (Dem.) of Colorado,
the appointment precipitated a
lively row in the Senate chamber,
where Senator La Toilette ,(Rep.)
of Wisconsin added the opposition
of his insurgent followers.
Dill Leads Attack
Little opposition was expected to
the confirmation of owen J. Roberts
Of Philadelphia, as Republican coun-
sci, to succeed Silas H. Strawn.
The chief assaults against Pom.
creme were directed by Senator Dill,
who also was one of the leaders of
the opposition in committee, In.
stead Of considering the nomination
In secret session, the custom Of the
Senate, Dill demanded open execu-
tive session so that the American
people can know what the qualifi-
cations of these nominees are and
who is for them and who against"
Pomerene, in Dill's opinion, is un-
acceptable primarily because Of his
lack OF experience as a criminal
lawyer and because of the almost
universal opposition to him by the
railroad brotherhoods.
Lenroot announced that he would
call up the nominations for con.
firmation at the conclusion of the
morning hour, during which the
Senate considers routine bills upon
the calendar.
Walsh Not to Lead Fight.
Senator Walsh, dominant figure
in the oil investigation, and for
whom the committee called a ten
day recess that he might rest
from his labors in the inquiry
which has kept him at his desk
practically sixteen hours a day for
the past month, made known that
he would not head the fight on
the nominations.
1t was declared to be walsh's
view that inasmuch as Roberts
and Pomerene were appointed by
President Coolidge the RESPONSE
bility for them rested upon the
White House, not upon the Senate.
Even in face Of Dill's fight, to
which he has gained numerous ad.
herents, it was not believed that
the nominations, either of Roberts
or Pomerene, would be rejected.
The basis for that belief, expressed
IN administration circles, was the
ract that Republican Senators want
the nominations confirmed SO that
the prosecution Of suit to recover
the naval reserves might go for
ward Immediately.
In this connection, II was learned
at the White House that orders
have gone out that suits seeking
to enjoin Harry +. Sinclair and
