CHAPTER VII
Brother and Sister


As he turned into Main street he es-
pied the figure Of a woman coming to-
ward him from the direction Of the
public square. His mind was 80 fully
occupied with thoughts Of q most dis
tufbing character that he paid NO at
tention to her, except to note that she
was dressed In black and that, in hold
ing her voluminous skirt we'll OF the
ground to avoid the mud puddlss. she
revealed the bottom Of q white. be-
run1ed petticoat.
and his interest suddenly aroused when
he observed that she had stopped
stock-still in the path. After 4 moment,
she turned and walked rapidly. with
scant regard for the puddlss, in the
direction from which she had come.
Fifteen or twenty PAGES down the road
she came to what was undoubtedly
path or "short cut" through the wood.
Into this she turned hastily and was

He had recognized her, or rather he
had OWNED who she was. He quick
ened his pace, bent upon overtaking
her. Then, with the thrill of the
hunter, he abruptly whirled and re-
traced his steps, chuckling in antici-
patton of her surprise when she found
him waiting for her at the other end
of the short cut" He could hear her
coming through the brush, although
her figure was still obscured by the
tangle Of wildwood.
She emerged, breathless, into little
open spot, not twenty feet away. and
stopped to listen, looking back through
the trees and underbrush to see If she
was being followed. Her skirts were
drawn up almost to the knees and
pinched closely about her gray-stOck-
1nged legs. He gallantly turned away
and pretended to be studying the
house across the road. Presently he
felt his ears burning; he turned to
meet the onslaught of her scornful,
convicting eyes
"Ah. there you are" he cried, lift
ing his hat. 81 was wondering whether
you would come out at this"

frigidity. 81 wish you would 60 away.

3 WISE FOOLS
 PROVES WINNER
AlI-Star Jefferson Players Present Another De-
 cided Success

Miss Helen Joy and Selmer Jackson proved in the premiere Monday night of the Jefferson players presentation of Austin Strong's Three Wise Fools" " that they are beyond doubt stars of the first magnitude. Miss Joy and Mir. Jackson, in fact, proved that each alone could "put a show over, as the say ing goes.
 But 'There Wise Fools" was by no means a two star" play, because the remainder of the cast supported both the leading actress and leading actor without a hitch, even in the Open- ing performance, usually a little rough on the edges.
 The three wise fools, Theodore Find ley, the banker; Richard Guant, the doctor and psychologist, and James Trumbull, the jurist, kept bachelor quarters together Of course, there was a reason for their being bachelors. In this case, they had all fallen in love with the same girl. The came adrO- itly to the conclusion that they could not all have her, and so none got her. The girl married, lost her husband when he was sent to the penitentiary, and then, when she died, left penni- less daughter, whom she "willed" to her old sweethearts. One of these, Theodore Findley, had the misfortune Gas Findley himself said to have an attractive nephew. The complications arise in due order when the nephew, Gordon Schuyler, played by Mir. Jack son falls in love with the daughter, Sidney Fairchild, by Miss Joy, when her father escapes from the peniten- tiary and brings his past with him, when Judge Trumbull's life is threat ened by Benny the Duck, at one time sentenced by the judge, and escaped with Sidney's father. Mir. Strong freely dispenses poetic justice, for the girl is vindicated of her past for which her father and mother were responsible and to make every one happy, the father is found to be innocent of crime after all.

DAVIS CONFERS
 WITH AL SMITH
Also Sees Campaign Man ager And Other Party
 Leaders

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-John W. Da- wis, democratic presidential nominee, and Gov. Alfred D. Smith of New York conferred here today. The subject of the governors becoming candidate to succeed himself was not discussed.
 Mir. Smith previously had made up his mind not to offer himself for re- nomination and with this knowledge at hand, Mir. Davis did not urge him to do so. The nominee had stated before hand that the decision was one left solely with the governor.
 Mir. Davis and Governor Smith can vassed fully the situation in New York state and the east insofar as it relates to the national campaign. They were closeted for more than an hour.
 "Mr. Davis and are in fair accord on the plan of operation to be submit ted to the board of strategy" Cover nor Smith said. He added he would not begin to campaign for the national his plans had not been fully developed.
 The speaking dates of the presiden- tial nominee also are held in abeyance. It was stated today on behalf of Mir. Davis that he had no engagement be- yond that at Clarksburg, W. Va., for the delivery of his acceptance address one week from tonight.
 Besides Governor Smith, Mir. Davis conferred with his campaign manager, Clem l.. Shaver, who turned from ma. tioDal headquarters at Washington, and with other party leaders.

The WeU-Dressed Mar,
By BEAUNASH Correct Clothes To Meet The Obligation Of Every Occasion

The really well-dressed man attracts attention by seeming to avoid it; by the appropriateness of his clothes to the season, occasion, time, place and cir cumstance by the selection of fabric, pattern and color which are becoming to his type and figure; by the proper harmonizing or contrasting of colors in his suit, cravat, shirt, hosiery, and hand kerchief; by adopting no congregations and eccentricities which make him stand out in crowd" except inviting the unsought notice which uncommonly good taste always draws. Thus, there is no mystery about the mastery of style. It is simply common sense ap- piled to dress as one would apply it to any other problem.
 Latterly, there has been a spreading vogue for summer suits of cool, crisp, cleanly linen, as portrayed in the ac- companying sketch. The colors are white or oyster shade and the garments are designed with three buttons; low collar notches; broad lapels; cut away fronts and patch pockets, breast and side. The trousers are straight-hang- ing and full draped after the English manner. Sometimes, a waistcOat ac- companies the suit to enhance its use- fulness.
 Borrowed from the Tropics, the idea Nof light-colored, porous-weave materials for scorching weather is a thoroughly rational one deserving of far wider favor. Such fabrics as linen crash, made of uneven slack-twist yarn, and wool crash, made of rough hardspun yarn, help astonishingly to take the growl out of "the dog days" They should, however, not be worn so ire quently or continuously as to become wrinkled and shapeless. Better yet, own two or three suits and alternate wearing them. That's the way to make clothes pay.

STOPPED HIS
 RHEUMATISM
 TEN YEARS AGO
MT. Aruthr D. Lynn, Tampa, Florida, Took TayIor's Blood Medicine Ten Years Ago. He Says His Rheumatism
 Was Cured and He Believes TayIor's Blood Medicine the Greatest Remedy on Earth.

Tayior's Blood Medicine contains IOdide of Potash and other vegetable ingredients, such as Sarsaparilla, Dan delion, Gentian, Wintergreen and Sas- safras, which act as fine tonic to the stomach while the IOdide of Potash ab- sorbed by the blood destroys the pois- onOus acids which lead to rheumatism and paralysis. It will stop those head aches, backaches, pains in the fingers, arms and shoulders, hips and knees. It will bring back your appetite, make you gain weight if you are thin and pale. Tayior's Blood Medicine is purely veRe- table, pleasant to take, will tone up your stomach and make you feel fine.
 Price $1.00 a bottle and if you are not satisfied it helped you, after talk ing three bottles which should last you about thirty days, return the bot ties to your druggist and get your money back.--Adv.

LEGION PROTESTS
 > CONVENTION CITY
Resent Antagonistic Atti- tude Toward National
 Defense Day

Birmingham Post of the American Legion is protesting St. Paul, the con vention city for the legion, as being in the northwestern states, whose an- tagnostic attitude to National Defense Test Day is not patriotic nor agree able to the ideals Of the Legion, ac- cording to the telegram, signed by the officials of Birmingham Post to John R. Quinn, national commander of the Legion.
 The telegram, requesting the change of the convention, is as follows:
 "On account of the unpatriotic atti- tude of the state of Wisconsin in de- clining to participate in National De- Tense Test Day, September 12, we re- quest that you immediately call a meeting of the national executive com mittee of the American Legion and have that body cancel the legion's ac- ceptance of the invitation to hold its annual convention this year in the northwest, and arrange for the holding of our national convention in a more patriotic environment. Men who have risked their lives for their country should not be subjected to atmosphere poisoned by nonsensical opposition to reasonable preparedness.
 We are giving a copy of this tele- gram to the Associated Press so that the American Legion posts elsewhere can know of our action and we request them to take up the matter at once"
 The telegram was signed by Walter E. Bare, national committeeman from Alabama, Horace Wilkinson, ex-nation- al committeeman for Alabama; Arthur Greenwood, post commander, Birming- ham Post No. |; J. Fred Johnson, commander, department of Alabama.
 According to the bylaws and-con- stitution of the legion the convention city can be changed by the executive committee, provided good cause is presented. The convention date is near the date set for National Defense Test Day.

LABOR'S MIGHT
 BLA FOLLETTE'S
 SAYS GOMPERS
Entire Strength Of A. F. OfL. Backs Third Party,
 He Declares
(By Associated Press.)

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Aug. A. Senator La Follette's telegrams from Washington today to Samuel Gompers in which he thanked the executive coun- cil of the American Federation of La Dor for it's endorsement of the La Fol lette- Wheeler ticket, reached the cOun- cil at the end of a day devoted almost entirely to drafting labor's program for active participation in every phase of the 1924 campaign-national, state and local.
 At the close of the session MT. Com pers issued a statement declaring that every resource at the command of the American Federation of Labor would be marshalled in the drive to put over the candidates indorsed.
 Our system of nonpartisan commit tees will be active throughout the coun- try" Mir. Gompers said. We are going to do our best to elect La Toilette and Wheeler"
 Sees La Toilette Elected
 He said further that the congressional campaign was to labor of equal inn portance with the presidency. Indorse- ment of La Toilette and Wheeler, MT. Gompers asserted, had immeasurably broadened labor's field of action and we shall take full advantage of that fact"
 "It is no fantastic thing to look for the success of Senator La Toilette in the coming election" the chief declared.
 "We are in the fight / to win a great victory for humanity, for democ- racy, for the great masses of the people of our country.
 Something far beyond the ordinary political issues is at stake There is at stake the great and all transcending is- sue of right and wrong-and we are for the right with all the vigor which our great movement posses.
 To Endorse Third Party
 Matthew Woll, vice president of the federation, amplified Mir. Gomper's statement with the assertion that the American Federation of Labor through its campaign committee would assume leadership in the congressional cam paign. He declared there no longer was any question that such leadership would be accepted throughout the labor move ment; that there were tremendous is- sues around which to unite" and that all elements which might have produced friction in the political machinery had been removed, so there would be only enthusiastic cooperation and co-ordi- nation throughout"
 Senator La Toilette said nice things about the American Federation of Ln- Dor in his telegram and the labor lead- CTS here were well pleased with it. They were especially elated that the senator appeared to understand and accept un- equivocally the federatiOn's determine tion to remain nonpartisan and its re- fusal to indorse all who might choose to run with La Toilette and Wheeler as nominees of a third party.
