CHAPTER XIX

The apartment was one belonging
to the older portion of the house, and
had been, In fact, an annex to the
great library. The walls were oak
paneled, and hung with collection of
old prints. There were some easy
chairs, writing table, and some we'll
laden bookcases. There were one or
two bronze statutes of gladiators, a
wonderful study of two wrestlers, no
minor ornaments Sir Timothy plunged
at once into what he had to say.
II promised you, Lady Cynthia,
and you, Ledsam," he said, "to divulge
exactly the truth as regards these

you happen to have an interest in
this particular party Therefore, /
am glad to have you all here together
The superficial part Of my entertain

for boxing tests which are conducted
under rules of our own. One is due

Their passage was difficult. Every
now and then Sir Timothy was com
PEELED to shake hands with some of
his newly-arriving guests. At last,
however, they reached the little sit
ting-room. Sir Timothy turned back
to Wilmore, who hesitated.
"You had better come in, too, Mr..
Wilmore, if you WILL" he invited. "You
were with Ledsam, the first day we
met, and something which / have to
say now may interest you"
IF / am not intruding," WilmOre
murmured.
They entered the room, still jealous

and from that time the days simply flew.
 She was very busy with trout fishing most of the daylight hours, and every evening there was nah jOng, for Jed had brought a set of the Chinese game to amuse his mother and the neigh bOrs. She thought gratefully of her fathers wisdom in sending her to the country for quiet and rest. "Dad is usually right" she said to herself.
 She had been at Brookside ten days when she was startled at 2 o'clock one front door. Throwing a wrap around her she ran to the head of the stairs and looked down while Uncle William unfastened the bolts.
 ''What's all the row?" he asked of the man on the doorstep.
 "It's a telegram. Nobody couldn't get you on the phone, so just brought it over in my machine"
 "A telegram, bless my soul!" ex- claimed Uncle William. T do hope there isn't anything wrong anywhere"
 Mercy on us, l hope your father that's staying with you"
 Tt ain't for you. It's for the girl hasn't had one of those sinking spells" said her aunt anxiously, as Alicia ran downstairs.
 No, it's-it's all right. It's just when she regained her own room she from friend who wants to know some thing" explained Alicia lamely, and spread out the missiVe, and by the gleam of Richards flashlight read it again:

 Poor old Dick" she murmured, and then she began to wonder whether she should wear her golf skirt or her knick- CTS for fishing in the morning.

'sBut when he died, to my amazement, l found that he was a comparatively rich man. For years he had been making a big salary and had been concealing the knowl- edge of it from me. He had seen the children grow up without the advantages that he was able to give them. He had seen me toil- worn and weary, when he could well have afforded to have hired a servant to do the work that was breaking me down. He had seen me shabby and ashamed, when he could have given me decent clothes, and he did not do it because he loved money better than he did his wife and children.
 But, most of all, what I resent is his unfairness. The fact that he did not give me his confidence, that he "ept me in ignorance of the things that I had a right to know that I cannot forgive.

we always lived In poor house in a poor street and had poor furniture. I never thought of having pretty clothes, or belonging to clubs, or talk ing trips, or indulging in arr amuse- ment. What few pleasures tue child- en had were paid for out of my hearts blood almost, because it meant that I had to pinch the housekeeping money little closer and do without every thing possible myself to get the girls new dress or keep one of the boys in school a year longer.
 But I did not complain. I did not even feel it a hardship. knew my husband was a hard-working man, and I thought that he did the best he could for us. I thought that he gave us all that he could afford and that he was just one of the men who have not the gift of mOney-making.

"It seems to me that thi1 il not giving wife a square deal. liar riage is a partnership in which a young couple pool their all. The woman puts into it just as much as the man does, for sho rot only puts herself into it body and soul, but she puts her chances of marry ing a richer man. And if she is a good and faithful wife, and makes a man a happy and comfortable home, her work counts just as much in the ultimate success of the firm as the mans does.

"We were married when. we were very young and poor, and I was glad to do everything possible to help my husband. During all the years that we were together I worked harder than any galley slave, cooking, and mending, to make comfortable home for him and my children. Four children came, but I never had any help with them. Even when my babies were born had no assistance but half-witted old wo- man who could be hired cheaply.

 "You won't forget your promise to write often, will you?" he called as she waved to him, and she shook her head reassuringly. She really meant to write tho very first morning at Brookside, but her Uncle William took her out for a walk over tn old farm, and in the after noon she mapped in hammock. Her father had sent her to the country for rest and fresh air, and she felt 1t was due to him to stay outdoors and sleep rather than to shut herself in her room and write letters.

 "Jed Burdick's coming home," re- marked Uncle William at supper, land I told his mother I'd drive over to Wince's Corners and fetch him from the train. Want to go, Alicia!"

 "And I called him Jetty. I do re- member faintly. What does he do now?" asked Alicia.

Her husband has no more right to keep her in ignorance of the financial status of the firm than he would to refuse such knowledge to a man who was his equal partner. Nor is it fair that she should never receive, as her right, her share of the profits of the venture.

LITTLE CHOICE

Democratic leaders of Congress
are disturbed over the large number
of their followers who are rallying
to the support of the Mellon tax re-
duction program. They know very
well that Democratic taxpayers as
well as Republican taxpayers are go
ing to be benefited by it's provisions,
and they realize that interference
with the plan will impair the relief
that the Republicans are ready to
offer.
In every State and Congressional
district the candidate who votes for
the substantial cut of the tax burden
is going to get popular support
rather than his opponent who may
want to keep taxes as they are or
with insignificant changes. There is
little wonder that Democratic Con-
gressmen are getting behind the Mel
Ion plan. Whether they like it or
not, it is what the people are de-
handing, and Congress has got to
respond.-Wheeling Intelligencer.

THE CANDIDATES

This issue contains the announce
ment of Howard Price for Assessor.
His experience in this line and his
answering judgement on values of
all kinds of property eminently fit
for the JOB. Voters should always
look toward ability and efficiency in
selecting an assessor these high
marks not be overlooked, SO it is safe
to say that Howard Price has both.
The announcement of Troy E.
Hartman for the State Senate is also
show nunder the head of Announce
ments." Mr.. Hartman is making a
fair and honorable campaign for the
position, and being business man of
high order, he is well tilted for the
job.
The announcement of E. Bunker
Reynolds for Congress comes as no
surprise. He is man who has had
quite bit of training along lawmak-
ing line, and will no doubt make an
excellent representative.

p. m. Fairview High is making a
trip through here then and wanted to
play US. Since we played them on
their floor few weeks gao, good
craftsmanship demanded that we
give them a retrun game here since
they are making trip through this
section. 1t was not the intention of
the management Of the basketball
schedule to have a game come on the
same date as any other public event,
but there was no other possibilits for
a game with Fairview except on Jan
20. Since the game is called at 700
p. m. it will give all who wish to at
tend the game and the lecture num-
Der plenty of. time go to the game
and then to the lecture afterwards
The game will be over before 500,

was slated to become president of the
senate. They also declared they 0p.
posed tie author of the Esch-Cufn-

of the committee. The Democrats
lined up on strictly party policy be-
hind Smith. An attempt was made
by the insurgents to compromise on
Couzens, but could not change the

accessions from the Democrats The
Democratic leaders had not desired

responsibility for the work Of the com
