WHATS what makes It all
wrong" Jim protested, AID
he hauled out his pipe and
thrust it back nervously between
sentences. 'I wouldn't mind so
much If didn't think you might
ball up Rosa's pet schemes"
"Jimv' gasped. You'd not
let her malice triumph at such
price2"
There was q note Of wonder in
my voice. Perhaps 1t was not
unmixed with reproach. Jim
leaped to his feet as If IA
spurred him. His eyes were ablaze
now, his face working like fury.
''Do you want to wreck me with
Rosa?" he snarled. "How long
do you think my business would

my condolences about my fight
for the Shipping Corporation.
Then disappointment got hold Of
me. But in the next second I
could see plenty Of justification
for his worry over howl might
wreck him by so antagonizing
Rosa that the Cordova money
would be withdrawn from his
business.
It took me less than a minute
to run this gamut Of emotions.
And then I softened toward Jim
and rushed over to the guest
room to call him back and assure
him that I wouldn't jeopardize
his standing with Rosa. But the
door was locked.
I couldn't doubt that Jim heard
me turn the handle. But there
was a breathless silence from
the room as II Jim were waiting
for me to get discouraged and go
away.
In crestfallen misery I tiptoed
back to my room.
The sleepless night that fol.
lowed wasn't due to the fears
Ralph had aroused, lest Rosa
Cordova get the better Of me,
nor yet to later fears that
might be doing Jim grave harm.
I was sufficiently forewarned to
be forearmed on my own score.
And I felt certain enough of
Rosa's fondness for Jim to count
on her to stand by him no mat.

been brought face to face with
the fact that Jim feels that our
interests are Numerically OPP

At noon just as I was getting
conscious Of the gnawing pains
Of hunger and a large distaste for
food, my office door flung open
and Rosa tipped into my office
as pert as a robin alighting In

''You ask me I shall come in,"
laughed Rosa. me, / am in mood

So, within half an hour, we
found ourselves ensconced in the

it clear that she considered her.

also that expense was no object.
After she'd satisfied herself and
the suave captain who was TAX

jewelled cigarette case and her
ivory cigarette holder with it's
band Of tiny rubies.
And with her hand flashing
jewels and tinkling bracelets and
her eyes darling out vivid and
challenging glances she lighted
her cigarette and peered mock

smoke.

We were half way through tho

THE DREAM SHIP.

We sail the sea, for adventure and
gold; .tr
We travel to every land,
We anchor each day at some distant
And play in the golden sand.
The bright stars above. are our only
guides;
As we sail over the main,
And our nets are filled with the gold
en- fish;
Each time We pull in our seine.
The huge, white capped waves, break
over the rails;
And run in the cabins door.
And as we are bathed in the flying
spray;
We head once more for the shore.
Our good old ship is our fond mothers
. arms;
Her big blue eyes are the sea,
Her beautiful hair is the flying spray;
That the wind blows over me.
The fish that we catch, is our moth.
er's kiss;
The soothing words, that she'll say,
VIII help us to rest on our mothers
breast:
And 80 end q perfect day.
The gold that we seek, is Our mothers
love:
While on us the moonlight streams.
Our mothers smile, is the light that
guides us;
Far into the lands Of dreams.

TO MY VALENTINE

oh, bleak, oh, heartless, cruel despair;
She SEE, for me she doesn't care,
She SEE I've got a swollen head,
(Sure, them's the very words she said)
And then she seq, she SEE, SEE she;.
/ needn't think she's stuck on me,
She SEE, that she'll create a stir:
Cause they can't make no more like
her,
At making love, I'd better start;
Or else, I'll never win her heart,
And when she speaks, I'd better jump;
Or else, she'll drop me with bump,
She SEE, she'll drop me with bump,
She SEE. I'm such a stuck-up guy;
She'll tilt her nose and pass me by.
And then I seq, I seq, SEE i:
Don't think that I'm going to cry,
Cause I'm a kinda hard-boiled cuss;
And over you I'll make no fuss,
Nor will take you in my arms;
And rave and tear about your charms,
Though I'll admit, you're mighty
sweet;
Still. don't think that you can't be
beat,
What's more, for you I'll never flop;
And never on by knees I'll drop.
Or beg you for your heart and hand,
/ guess that much, you'll understand;
Cause I'm an independent guy;
So tilt your nose, and pass on by.

to the practicable, the feasible-vital
realities.
SO, if the German railroads, said to
be in fine financial condition and capable
of producing great revenue, can be used
as source of reparations and as Sc
curity for the claims of France, then
France may feel that such plan affords
her way out of the dilemma into which
her pride. her sense of honor" her
dignity" or what-not, has cast her.
For, from the outset, she has disavowed
any desire to destroy Germany; she has
professed to want only damages" for
the losses inflicted upon her by the
Germans during the world war.
Realizing-if she does realize-that she
cannot destroy Germany without pulling
the temple down upon her own head,
she might feel that she could accept an
actual guaranty of reparations without
any sacrifice to her "honor." Perhaps
she believes that her disavowals of any
desire to ruin Germany have been fully
credited by the world.

HE'S A POLITICIAN.

One handy. phrase comes readily to
the lips of self-righteous critics when
they wish to condemn some appointee
or aspirant for office. Like any
other standard jest, it always takes
well.
"Oh, he's a politician they say.
Let it be admitted that politicians
occasionally run for office and that
they are sometimes elected. What
does that prove? What is a politi-
clan?
The primary definition OLA politi.
clan is one engaged in politics. Poll.
tics means the administration of pub
lie affairs. A politician, then is one
who has had some experience in adj
ministering public business. If more
than this is implied it is because
language has become perverted by
misuse.
Public service in America needs
men and women trained by expert
If you please. Not
machine politicians, not party errand
boys or puppets for bosses, but clean,
capable individuals who see in poll
tics the possibilities of a reputable,
useful professional career.
1t is no legitimate criticism Of
man to say he is politician. On
the contrary, it may constitute merit
ed praise. If he is gang politician
or n dishonest or an otherwise I'M
desirable politician, let his critics say
so. Unless they say that they make
no point.
Public affairs not uncommonly suf-
fer for the absence Of real politicians.
We need more, not fewer, politicians
in office. Provided, always, they
are politicians with ability, courage
and the right point of view.-Cleye-

he was to write--which, in his own
phrase, was to imInortalize himself

aloof from material and personal
considerations that she was deceived
into swallowing at least half the

did not neglect TO furnish it with
certain form. His theme, he told
her, was the immortal story of Laura
and her Petrarch set in the warm
glitter of an old Italian frame. Nor
was that all he told her. He whipped
his wits to some purpose, and
sketched for her the outline of first

At the end of a week he announced
that this first act was already writ
