The Value of a Good Memory

When Rhinelander Waldo was fire
commissioner of New York and when
Edward Croker was fire chief, Croker
volunteered one day to take Waldo
for a ride down Broadway in his ia
nous ninety-horse-power red auto
mobile, which he used when going to
fires. Waldo's secretary, Winnie"
Sheehan, who's now a movie mag
nate, went along, too.
Waldo owned a number of brisk
moving cars himself and thought he
knew something about speed, but he
had never travelled with Croker.
They sped down Broadway at a ter
rifying pace, shaving trolley cars,
slfcing curbstones and avoiding COLI
sions with trucks by quarter-incn
margins.
At Canal street a block compelled
Croker to slow down. Instantly
Waldo jumped out of the car and,
muttering something about having
forgotten something. dived into the
nearest building. About then, Croker
decided to call up fire headquarters
and he, too, went away temporarily,
leaving his daredevil chauffeur and
the yet breathless Sheehan in the
machine. Croker returned to find
only the chauffeur.
mr.. Sheehan said for you to go
ahead and have your ride OUT

just remembered the same thing that

There comes hand upon the

"and voice saying, we have looked
a long time for you"
'Yes. There wasn't one fear"
Peter said, marking two lines In the
sand with his foreinger. There were
two fears. They fought each other
and their battle-ground was Parmalee's
soul. 1t was trampled into wallow
of terror, of questioning. of doubt.
Do you know, Brena, that somehow
there creeps into me great pity for
him?"

finger upon some button that would

One Little Yea Among the

During the Republican National
convention of 1920 the leaders behind
the scenes, fearing Senator Hiram
Johnson might kick over the traces
in the event Of the nomination of a
Presidential candidate displeasing TO
him, repeatedly made overtures to
the Californian to take the second
place on the ticket. Invariably John
son declined the proposition. Toward
the last he showed signs of temper.
AT this critical period the stage
managers invoked the. offices of Col.
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., as AN inter-
mediary. They counted on the friend
ship which had existed between
Johnson and young Rooseyelt's
father. johnson was as briskly en-
phatic in stating his position to
young Colonel Roosevelt as he had
been in his language to earlier ennis
Saries.
Nevertheless, right up to the elev-
enth hour the bosses trusted that
Johnson might be induced to change
his mind. Three of US, all newspaper
correspondents, were in JohnSOn'S
room at the Blackstone hotel in Chi
cago on the night before the ticket
was named, when Johnson's secretary
came to say that Colonel Roosevelt
was on the telephone, desiring to
speak with him. Johnson took down
the receiver. and we heard him say
this. with pauses between words:
"No-no-nO-no-y es-no-NO"
When Senator Johnson had hung
up the receiver and returned to his
seat, one of those present said I:
Senator. I'm curious to know what
the question from Colonel Roosevelt
was which caused you to reply in the
affirmative when all your other an
swers were such positive noes"
Johnson's eyes twinkied.
That" he said. was when the
young man asked me If / could hear
distinctly what he was saying"

AS he walked away from her. his

she leaned back against the hot, flat
face of one of the huge stone blocks

her steady gaze. He disappeared out

silences and rightly of death. She
watched the magnificent grace and
power of his flight until Peters voice
broke the silence again, and, Tapping
toward the west, the bird began to
circle up whence he had come.
"Brena," said Peter, who came to hel
with an expression drawn as IL with
some stress within
"Yes"

"Blackened," she said.
"Wait!" Peter said. There are the
spots where he stood looking down.
He had his answer; no living Jim Hen
nepin of Virginia would ever fill him
with lead. And as he stood, Brena,
perhaps gazing down for a long, long
time-because his footsteps are lost
in that stew of impressions-he was
filled with all the concentrated terror
that | suppose only d murderer can
know. He went into crazy wild
panic of fear. These bones were his
the grinning skull. They must be
hidden"
How do you know all this?''
Because he has moved toward this
