Mrs. Mcneil frowned. glancing
about timidly as though she expected
an invisible audience, including Ben
Murillo and Angus Mcneil, to be
shocked at Sandy's words.

"Ah. you darling little thing. You'd

Don't get excited, darling; but tell

Her gaiety fled. She became stifled
with. the violent beating of her heart
A hundred times in, the last four days
she had been dashed from joyousness
to depression with these hurricane
moods.
One hour she was laughing, defiant
tempting Ramon Worth-exultins
in the swift response of his eyes.
And the next she sat in her cabin
her arms tightly folded, at once strick-
en- and alarmed.
She would see his laughing eyes
grow somber. see him sit long while
quiet, avoiding her face. She would
whisper: What an / doing? Do j
love him? Oh, what am /, anyway?
Why do / do these things?"
Her feelings mounted and grew
fiercer the more she tried to curb
them.
Then she told herself: cts the un.
certainty-the bitter suspense. Oh,
that's it! keep fearing he won't free
me. He'll try to shut me up forever
with him. That's what makes me so
wild-that's what makes me exagger-

She saw herself in the city making
her own way, self-rcliant, successful.
She and Judith would have high, mag
nificent times.
This picture faded. In its place
came her mothers horrified face. A
daughter of hers asking divorce !!
Flouting all her traditions?
She whispered, weakly: I'll never
get it. They'll never let me out of
it."
She carried on frantic dialogues
with herself, shivering at the prospect
of barrenness and mockery before her.
'They pushed me into it. They've
got to help me out"

''Try it. See how far you can get"
In the sweep of this revolt she
recalled the endless family conferences
when her mother and her married sis
tiers had harped and harped on the
advantages of this marriage how they
had sung Murillo's praises--his gener.
osity. How they said marriage would
bring love; how Economically they
painted it.
She denounced them for this be-
trayal. She grew savage with her re
sentment-reckless with it. She was
entitled to little respite. What right

She said TO herself: "Why did ]

And she knew that it was not her
scruples that kept her from kissing

Whether Romeo of the house of

not so with William Romeo, colored,

Young Romeo of today knows to his
sorrow that driving fast does not al
ways mean that you reach the goal
first, for in his case he reached the
gaol, and according to Judge Mcmahon
will remain there for two long weary
months
Policeman Bennett may have be-
longed to the ancient house of Capu-
let, for his testimony against Romeo
was unstinting. He told the court in
no uncertain terms how Romeo sped
along Sixteenth street extended
around so miles an hour, half the time
on one side Of the street and half the
time on the other. He related how
Romeo narrowly missed hitting a
parked auto and how it's occupants

their lives.
He failed to leave out of his testi-
mony that Romeo's wild ride ended
In snow bank on Dogwood street
far away from where fair Juliet lay
sleeping.
Romeo. truthful to the last, admitted
the facts stated by the policeman. and
the judge, without fear or reproach
from either of the two houses, decreed
fine of $500 or so days in Jail. Con-
tents of his pocketbook relieved
Romeo of the trouble of deciding and

that contributions or subscriptions to

These headquarters, offered free by
the hotel, and the scene of similar
activity in many times past, swung
into full action today, in charge of
the secretary, Col. F. A. Fenning, who
found a huge pile of correspondence

cerning many phases of the Inaugural

Miss Katherine Fenning has been
appointed assistant secretary of the

Chairman Galliher conferred yester-
day with President Coolidge at the
White House, where it was understood
the President reiterated his desire for
as little pomp as would be fitting for
the occasion. 1t was not yet clear to-

To the Wishes of

The protest of the workers of Chi
cago against the failure of Mayor De-
yer and the city council to put up a
fight against the continued control of
the city traction lines by the bankers,
is growing. President Henry A. Blair
Of the Chicago Surface lines, has now
proposed a system of subway and
traction lines for Chicago, which ig-
nores Dever's proposal Of a municipal
ly owned traction system
The city council committee on
transportation does nothing without
consulting the bankers, and then takes
The orders II the bankers. Blair's
plan ignores the sale of the traction
lines to the city and provides for the
granting of new franchise to the
bankers by the city. So far the coun-
ell has made no attempt to confiscate
The city traction lines, or to put the
bankers in their place by delivering
an ultimatum to them.
The bankers win officially tell the
city council what attitude they will
take on the demand that the city con-
troll the traction companies as soon
as a majority of the debt to the bank
ers has been paid. The city council
admits that, If the bankers do not ac-
cept, the mayors plan is dead, as they
do not intend to take action that
would displease the bankers.

Square Garden is the largest arena in
New York. When it is packed it is
the nearest to an open air demonstra-
ton. A successful Madison Square
Garden meeting has no peer in this
country. A meeting in the Garden is
not only New York meeting. 1t is
a national meeting.
In speaking to the $4,000 assembled
at the Garden. we speak to the mil.
lions outside, without broadcasting
the speeches. The capitalist press
cannot ignore revolutionary assem-.
blies which pack the Garden, and the
following day the whole country reads
about our demonstration. But TO
achieve the Significance Of real dem.
onstratlon the Garden must be filled
to the top.
A meeting with an attendance oil
five or six thousand is generally Q
great meeting, but 1t would be a fail
ure as a Garden meeting. 1t will moi
be noticed, or 1t will be ridiculed
The great arena looks empty with ST,
thousand people present. The Garder
is at its best when it is packed TO the
roof. Those who have had something
TO do with running Garden meetings
know the enthusiasm which a success
full Garden rally produces among the
members and sympathizers and the
general propaganda which results
from such a meeting.
