HARRISON SAYS PARTY

Senator, in Speech, Assures 80 Per
Cent Backing for Program

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 6.-Senator Pat
Harrison, speaking last night before
the Bronx Board of Trade, declared
that as Democrat he could say that
80 per cent of his party would join
hands with President Coolidge in the
program he outlined in his inaugural
address.
The three important points in the
Presidents speech the Senator from
Mississippi picked were further re-
duction of taxes, Americas entrance
into the World Court and the rigid
tactics of economy. Cheese partng.
he said, would not bring about a re-
duction of taxes, but the collection of
the foreign debt would help mate
rally to make such reduction pos
sible.

A foot struck against one of her
threshold-steps. The door moved
gratingly. A tall, dark figure, with
one arm outstretched as though
cropping, had come deliberately in
to the turret room.
And the room was empty now,
save for the girl sitting up in her
white shift.
This girl looked towards the
person that had entered. She did
not speak or move. The sinking
moon, glancing more directly in
through the one window-slit as it
declined, made a wan vagueness
in the obscurity. The suicide, the
faun, the strangling frog-dwarf
had withdrawn themselves, per-
haps into the buried consciousness
of the witch-girl where the portal
of teeming world stood always
ajar.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-12-20

AN angel came to me in a
dream and reused me, and I left
my bed and went to the turret
room-the room of the witch.
And your n Ister's son was there.
He is under her spell; his soul is
already chained to her, but ! COM
mand you tear her from him.
Only her death will set him freer'
Her red-golden head fell back
against the wall. Her eyes closed.
Anne and Margaret, who had fol-
lowed the rush of men-folk up the
stairs, scurried to her with little
sharp cries. Their arms supported
her. Both were dishevelled.
Margaret flushed like fever and
Anne ague-pale. 1t had been a
night of license below stairs.
Margaret, seated upon the knees
of Hugh, had received boisterous
love-lessons-he would have fol-
lowed her when this present cry
of alarm was raised only that his
legs failed him, for the spiced wine
had gone to them. Anne, frigid
even when she had drunk more
than she should, was becoming
deathly sick when the first shrek
drifted, a mere thread of a sound,
into the feasting hall. To her two
landmarks the Countess seemed in
a virtuous swoon. They upheld
her between them, their eyes wide
as those of startled deer, incoher-
ent words upon their lips. And
the Countess moved her head
weakly from side to side, moaning.
The light of the torches illumi-
mated the gallery to its farther
end, where three steps led to a
doorway. Every man of those
who had come up the stairs was
acquainted with the turret room
the haunted turret where no one
slept. 1t was lightless and APP
peared tenantless, though they
knew by the mouth of their
Countess that it was not. Was sui
phurous smoke about to issue
from it, mixed with blue flame?
Or familiar in the shape of a
dwarfed crocodile? They were
all men with the stomachs of
fighters, more or less; callous,
shock-headed, habitually blasphem-
Gus, but they looked ahead now
with the earnestness of children
and advanced slowly, holding their
torches we'll up.
"Stopw The command came
holloway from the gallery. Some
one was standing in the doorway
of the witch's lair. The young
lord. He appeared taller than
usual, and his stripped sword was
in his right hand.
"There is no witch here. NV
fathers wife has dreamed an evil
dream that has bewildered her.
Go back whence you come"
He spoke with authority. The
torch-bearing men had halted at
the first word. They looked at him
in uncertainty, and at the blade
of the long, straight, double-edged
sword, whose point rested upon
the stone threshold. They knew
that a young witch slept that night
under the protection of the Count
ess. And then again, what bust
ness had brought the Counts son
to the turret room?
At Gervais's voice Sabine re-
opened her eyes, and she stiffened
in the arms of her two girls.
"He's bewitchcd! / told you

San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-12-20

her fingers clutched at the linen
fabric that covered her bosom as
drowning person clutches at
blades of grass. Gervais! Her
soft-feshed body stiffened as
though knife had been driven
into her. She had been despoiled
wholly and absolutely! Her
treasure had been filched from
her. Her nostrils dilated, and
there was a feeling of construction
in her throat, the gripping, hys-
terical rage of a foiled woman.
"Your wife! Gervais! Would
you take the daughter of a devil?
This girl is a witch, whose soul j
had thought to save through char
ity. She shall burn for thisp'
Her voice was shrill with hys-
terra. 1t climbed so high that it
almost cracked. 1t was like some
thing brittle.
"What are you saying?"
Was that Gerva.s's voice
abrupt to roughness, deeper-toned
than she had ever heard it?
"She shall burn?'
"You are mad! l have told you
she shall be my wife,"
ooh! Ohp screamed Sabine,
as though red-hot irons had been
applied to her flesh. She was be-
side herself-it was no simulated
frenzy. She stumbled down the
threshold steps, tripping on the
hem of her long shift, wavered
some distance along the gallery,
and began to shrek as if She were
being stabbed.
In the turret room Sidonia, who
had sprung out onto the floor. was
clipped by the arms of Gervais.
"She has gone mad. You shall
not be frightened, my darlingH
"Oh, Gervais, you are more to
me than all that is in the world!
Never doubt it,"
They were going to take her
from him, and it must be so. Oh,
the strength of him-the strength
of his arms about herl Her man!
"Gervais, never doubt that 1
love you'll"
Muffied shouts were answering
the cries in the gallery now. The
witch's daughter-the quarry
knew that the hunt was up. But
there was no space for terror in
her heart, the anguish of love was
its sole furnishing. Her cheek
touched the GOODNESS of the medal
that lay on Gervais's breast.
Torchlights wildly redeemed the
long tunnel of the gallery. A rab-
Bile of men-servants and men-at-
arms came jostling up the stair
way. The Countess, leaning
against the wall like a stabbed
woman, found fresh voice to greet
them.
"The witch, the witch l sought
to befriend. She has bespelled
your Masters sonl She would
suck his blood and deliver him
body and soul into the hands of
Satan! The witch! The vam-
pirel Oh! 0hp
She paused to allow her exhaust
ed lungs to fill. Her throat was
dry as PARLIAMENTARY to crack.
The men and lads gaped at her
like a party of ghostseers and
the several torches fumed the
arehed roof of stone with wispy,
resinous smoke.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-12-20

yawns pink-mouthed. For some
moments the body of Sabine lay
quiescent, aware only of comfort,
and then a tingle of expectancy
quivered through it--unsatisfed
expectancy.
A dawning conviction of some
thing out of joint in the general
scheme of the universe spread dis
quietingly over her. If there was
no infallibility in the literally
paid for craft of witches, what
vehicle could one repose faith in?
The uncertainty of all things was
borne in upon her, and with it the
first tremor of panic she had ever
felt.
All was still-no step, no
rustic of movement. A surge
of dull anger, like a foamless,
lifting wave, against Gervais
and the young witch submerged
the channels of her thought. The
whole purpose of her nature had
set, tide-like, towards her step
son.
Then thrust her naked feet into
her pointed slipper-shoes of silver
tissue and went quickly to the
closed door. 1t was the blind,
seeking instinct of the huntress.
Standing upon the threshold of
her chamber, Sabine looked out
into the gallery. There was only
a thick, death-cold darkness there,
that seemed as though it could
never yield a football. She turned
her face towards the turret room.
The faintest glimmer of a lighter
dark dawned upon her cat-sighted
eyes, and she became aware that
the witch's door stood open and
that beyond it there was a shadow
of moonlight.
As a disappointed patient might
seek the physician-very justly
angry, yet still hoping against
hope-Sabine, unmindful Of chills,
ghosts and discretion, moved to-
wards he gray moon-shadow that
dwelt vaguely at the gallery's
upper end. Her feet were noise
less. Her loosened hair lay upon
her shoulders. One image only
was before her; one desire urged
her like spiritual spur-Gervais.
She came to the three steps.
The door had been pushed right
inward and the doorway opening
glmmered gray as dew. She was
ready to threaten the witch with
exposure and the various tortures
that were reserved for Satan's
own. She had been liberal in
every way, and the girl had
cheated her with a worthless drug.
Perhaps, if the little dark creature
were sufficiently frightened, a
spell possessing real power might
yet be worked.
A voice, mans voice, very low
pitched, but audible in the utter
silence of the night.
Another voice answering-a
woman's.
There were two in the turret
room. Was the witch-girl com
muning with a male familiar, or
:? Sabine was before all
things feminine-felinely so. To
the anger that had drawn her for
ward there was now added curios-
ity. She mounted the steps, but
the dry, strewn rushes whispered
at the threshold and, knowing her
self discovered, she said sharply.
"Sidoniaw
A moment Of breath-held quiet,
and then movement. "Oh, you
hussyp said Sabine's inner self,
sharp and rasping as any shrew.
"Sidonia, what wantonness is
this?"
No answer for some seconds,
and then, out Of the sight-mufiling
twilight:
Madam, this maiden shall be-
come my wife tomorrow"
Sabine's hand went to her heart,

mind was as unreflective as a
sable pool in a forest, set round
with deep, enchanted fern. She
was alone-yet not alone.
Minutes passed. Her lips still
moved without sound. She was
william affirmation of faith-no
more.
Footsteps approaching down the
gallery, slow but unwavering. No
thrill set her nerves a Jingle. She
had known that it must be so. She
was the favored of Satan; the
child Of the woman in the throne
chair of living rock.
