HIGHLY PLEASED,
 DAVIS DECLARES
New York Campaign Satisiac.
 tory to Candidate

New York, Oct. 10.-John w.. Davis, returned today from three day trip through upper and western New York, the results of which he declared to be highly pleasing and heartening.'
 The candidate went to his hotel headauarters for a brief visit and left the city short while later for his home in Locust Valley. Long island, to rest and prepare for his second invasion of the middle west, scheduled to begin with his depar- ture from here Friday evening for Indiana. If the hours of the regis tration permit, Mr. Davis. said. he would register today in order to cast his vote on November 4 for the state and national democratic tickets.
 On his arrival from Buffalo where he spoke last night Mir Davis said: i T am highly pleased at the re- suits of the trip. The cordiality of the crowds and the kind receptions ! everywhere have been most heart ening. The experience again reveals a sustained interest on the part of the people in campaign issues. Gen. eral apathy, of whom we have heard much from pessimistic quarters, has been completely. routed and the ten i dency of present sentiment, as find it, assures a democratic victory on November A."

 T spect that I shall" the Wizard laughed, T am sorry now that made Walters mama and daddy un- happy by changing Walters daddy into a Willywiggle and his mama into an old lady, and now that ] have changed them back again into what they were before, nice young people, and have made cream puff patch and a soda water fountain l feel just like an old dark room must feel when someone opens the win dow and lets in lot of sunshinc!"
 T knew that you would feel that way, Mister Wizard" Raggedy Ann said. And after this, whenever you add any other charms toyour col lection you must see that 0u do not pick up crooked charms, for they will always twist your magic and cause unhappiness."
 And as the cream puffs and soda water was very nice. our friends sat and enjoyed their treat while they talked.
 After we have eaten as much as we wish, we must take Walter home" his mama said.

home like the house in Marvin is very good, but I mafraid you're go- ing to find distinct advance in prices, and much greater difficulty in finding what we want than when we bought the Marvin place. But why give up- the farm?"
 "Why keep it?" Dicky countered stubbornly. "Oh, know it's lovely for summers! l love 1t myself to come to for a few days but to tell you the truth, I'm a bit fed up with the farm, myself If we could com- mute from it, why, that would be something else again"
 Katie Interrupts
 With a sinking heart l realized something to which I have long tried to shut my eyes. Dicky tastes any mine concerning many things, are radically different. I like lit- tie bit of city life occasionally, but very~little does me. Dicky on the contrary must have certain amount of excitement, or his soul dies.
 This house will just run down If you shut it up except for few weeks in the summer" Dicky urged, and miserably l nodded an assent to his words. "So why don't you sell it, and invest the money in a new home?"
 The little warning voice sounded again. The money for the farm house had been part of my patri- mony from my father. It was all mine. No part of the money from 1 the sale of the Marvin home had gone into it, owing to my fathers wish at the. last minute of the sale that he should be responsible for the whole sum. Why should not the Marvin house money be applied upon the new suburban home of Dicky's dream?
 Tt would be folly to sell it at short notice," I said slowly. trying to marshal my thoughts in order, and furtively watching my hus- bands face. Especially when there is no need to do it. The money realized from the Marvin place surely ought to be enough for any cash payment upon a new place, ur to half of the price We ought to pay"
 Over Dicly's face stole the same embarrassed flush I had seen when his mother asked him for money.
 "Youve got a womans idea Of money" he snorted. "Remember there was a mortgage to pay out of that money"
 I was glad indeed to have Katies knock on the library door to save ne the necessity of an answer oFr there was fas growing in my heart the conviction that something was wrong with our finances and I need cd time to determine what I should do.

the things money will buy have been his since he was born. In- deed, his family have had money for five generations. He does not req lize the value Of a dollar except as something that pays for the luxur- ies Of his daily life. He's entirely a different temperament from you. You could not get on with him at all,
 Don't think for a moment, John, that I do not appreciate Karl He is one of the most splendid men have ever known. In some ways he is much better than you. He just doesn't know anything about busi- ress, He is an idealist pure and sim pie. He lives in a world apart from the rush and worry which you have had to live in. l almost doubt if he could earn living, because if hs did earn any money he would give it all away.
 He is generous to a fault. His charities, both material and mental, are stupendous. He never saves in the giving of himself or his money. have never known a colossaly rich man who did so much unselfish good, or who was so modest abont his benefactions. He really is an ideal man of wealth-he should have wealth; but he is not, and never will be, and never could be a man Of business.
 This is the reason I have been a little worried about his marriage with my daughter. I am not sure what Alice will think about the amounts he gives away annually; for you must know, John, my young est daughter os rather selfish and very eXtravagant. She also has many society ambitions. She is very different from Leslie, who is one ot the most unselfish girls in the world I am very glad Alice does not need any of my money, and consequently will not be very much interested in its disposal"

possible.
 Every parent knows how many schemes and stunts child can in- vent to get out of all sorts of work.
 But. unless future impress is to be left upon the habits and manners of the child, the parent should start early to teach the necessity of facing the realities; of pumping square upon a problem and facing it out whether the end by marked by success or failure.
 Parents would do well to learn that it is better that a child fail at task than that he run around the corner to escape 1t. It is the fear of failure and parental rebuke that too often starts a child in the habit of deceiving both parents in him. self. And this is habit that sticks.

Why Does Dicky Wish Madge
 to Sell the Farm?

At Dickys tentative proposal to leave the farm, a little monitor deep in my consciousness whispered q warning to walk warily. What lay behind the startling proposition was a mystery to me. but l knew that t behooyed me to find out before l committed myself to q definite answer.
 'Leave the farm?" l parried. "You mean for the winter?"
 T mean for all time" Dicky said, but I noticed that his eyes did not meet mine. Its like this. It's out of the question for us 10 have two homes. We're not in the millionaire class yet. Of course we could man. age as we did last winter, go into the city for the worst winter months in a furnished apartment, but the suburbs and the farm have spoiled use for that. Besides it's an unset tied way to live at best. No, there's only one solution, and that is to find 8 place such as we had at Marvin, near enough to the city for easy committing, and with enough land around to make 1t secluded"
 An answer that was good for q full-sized family row rose to my lips, but heroically I suppressed 1t Dicky glanced at me furtively, then gave a sardonic little laugh.
 "Oh. go on! You might as well. say 1t as press your lips together in that thin red line of martyrdom," he said. "Yes. know you've got it all over me because I insisted on selling the Marvin home, and it was a financial blunder, even though we got top price for it. But--dd your alleged brain ever figure out that I might have had other req sons than financial ones for wanting to get away from Marvin"
 My brain leaped to the only an- swer possible. Edith Fairfax-at the time of that sale she had not yet attained to the calm poised attitude of mind toward Dicky that I now believed to be hers.
 "Why Keep It?".
 Could Dicky have sold our home because he feared his daily prox- unity to her might cause her un- easiness? Or, perchance-the little demon of jealousy lifted its head snakily for a second-did Dicky have something to conquer in the secret recess of his own soul?
 put the last thought from me swiftly, and made the only answer possible without betraying the se- cret feeling of which I already was deeply ashamed.
 T never bothered my head about the matter" said carelessIy "and surely it is all ancient history by now. I do think, however, your idea of buying another suburban

and it is tumbling down.> Anyway, you would not like 10 live near the Sankrs after what they tried to do to little Walter."
 Dear me-" Walters mama crisl. Our house was a nice new house when we left and now it is tumbling down, We must have been away a long, long ume!"
 T know what let's do." the Wiz ard said. 'I would not wish to re- turn there either if l were you. Let's take turns using my magic charms and we will build you nice little house right here in this pleasant spot, near the cream puff patch and the soda water spring! First, 1 will work the magic and build the house, then We can all take turns wishing for nice things in the house. What do you say?'
 This pleased Raggcdy Ann so much to think the Wizard had changed from a mean person into d nice thoughtful person, she just had to give him hug. So, in a few min utes, the Wizard had wished for Walters mama and daddy to have a new house, and it was such pretty place, everyone was delighted, Then, they all took turns wishing for nice furniture, and everything in tae pretty little house. T spect now, Mister Wizard, you will not care to go back to your own little tumbled down shanty." Walters daddy said 80 you can just stay right here and live with us all the time" And as this was just what the Wizard had wanted Walters mama and daddy tc ask him, he was so Happy. he not only hugged Raggedy Ann, but he hugged Walter and his mama and daddy and Raggedy Andy and ever { the two wooden hobby horses. And every one was happier than ever.

earth, and among and between box or yew hedges, rows or poplars and clumps of evergreens, were great beds of asters, cosmos, goldenglow, chrysanthemums, salvia and late roses, while formal gardens showed more rare and choice blossoms.
 Who does it?" asked Finley, all most in a voice of awe, as one vista after another met his eyes.
 Man." said Goddard briefly. It's her hobby"
 Well, if the brute gives her full swing like this, he can't be all bad"
 Never said he was Now, Mall colm, remember my warning! Don't be fool enough to disregard it. Do not fiirt with Nancy Raynor, nor even seem to do so. I'm positive there's something behind this will ingness of Raynor to have you here, and you must not let him have even an imaginary cause for jealousy"
 "Oh, shut up, Goddard, what do you take me for? If you think I'm disturber of families or a trouble maker of any sort, you're greatly mistaken"
 T don't think you are--on pur- pose. But"
 Well, shut up, anyway. If. when and as you see me going wrong it will be time enough to read me lectures--as if were callow school boy!"
 Pausing before entering, Finley turned 10 look at the picture. From the terrace, one first glanced over more flower acres, then some wood land of low growths, then a great stretch of uneven beach, and finally a horizon of sea and sky.
 It was so beautiful that Finley hoped in his beart his bedroom might face this way.
 Yet when, short time later, he presented. himself to the family. al- ready at tea on the western terrace, he found the outlook even more 1 picturesque.
 As he stepped to the western ter race, Finley saw first the face of Nancy Raynor She looked at him over the cup pf tea she was pouring and if the cup shivered a little on its saucer, she instantly stilled it, and continued her occupation
 For that one startled glance of her dark eyes, that one little rattle oi the cup on it's saucer. had told volumes to the man seeking infor. nation.
 How do you do. Malcolm?" she said, holding out her hand with { cordial yet detached air, Tt ii pleasant to meet again."
 Indeed it is." he said warmly then catching Goddard's significant glance, he checked his enthusiasm and turned to greet the master O the house.

 Not only was the emphasis tn mistakable, but a brief glance i the direction of his wife adde meaning to the mans words.

CHAPTER II. Why Did She Marry Him?

The house at Flower Acres faced north. On the western side a ter race and on the eastern side a ver- anda ran the full length of the house, and from each opened a door into the sun parlor that spread across the southern front. This sun parlor was an ideal room. Three sides and roof of glass, with con- venient curtains and lattices it was always available for occupation or for idleness.
 On the fourth side, against the house. was a wide stone fireplace and door opening into rear hall. The appointments included reading tables, writing desks, card tables and tempting swings and lounges of ease and comfort.
 Out here the family often had their coffee and smoked after dinner, and Malcolm Finley following the others was fighting a strong tempta- ton to seat himself near his hostess. He had sat at her right hand at dinner, and their conversation, though of the lightest. had been in- tently listened 'to-Finley couldn't help noticing-by Douglas Raynor, and also by his sistef..
