had had habit of pulling her along
irresistably-she had never felt
quite capable of bridling it with too
many plans of her own.
But she lifted her head up with a
little swagger and said confidently:

hope to go to New York. san Fran
cisco will have another light on
Broadway" she added gaily.
Arthur's face fell.
80 that's the idea?"
"Of course" she replied simply,
as if it had been her understanding
from the beginning that only a few
short months separated her life in
San Francisco and Il career in New
York.
Mona Wanna will probably run
for several weeks" she said as
suredly.
IT see," said Arthur.
Why should it make any differ
ence to Arthur?
His present attitude assured her
that even if he did not favor legal
separation, at least, he did not love
her
She searched his face, secretly,
for some hint that might explain
the riddle for her.
His kiss of the night before had
been given on the impulse of the
moment, she was sure Of that. Out
of sympathy, perhaps!

PUzzLE:PARTY
ALLEGIANCE OF
NEW SENATOR
New Mexico's Republican
Governor Names Man
Long a Democrat.
BY RUTH FINNEY

IN q uften Prc9s
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-Ap-
pointment of Bronson M. Cutting, of
Santa Fe as United States Senator
to succeed the late Andrieus A.
Jones, Democrat, has brought about
o situation unique in Senate his
tory.
Cutting has been appointed by a
Republican Governor, but has never
himself declared that he is a Re-
publican. In New Mexico politics in
Years past, he has been actively q
Democrat. He was at one time a
Roosevelt progressive.
Yet for the past two years he has
supported the administration Of the
Republican who appointed him.
Two Hold Power Balance
In view of the close party division
of the Senate 1t is an interesting CO.
incidence that this new member is
so indefinite in party utilization as to
defy classification.
Until Jones died there were forty
seven Democrats in the Senate,
forty-six Republicans, and one
Farmer-Laborer, following rejection
of Ware and Smith. Now, counting
Cutting as a Republican, there are
forty-seven Republicans, forty-six
Democrats, and one Farmer-Laborer.
Thus Republicans in theory gain
control Of the Senate when Cutting
arrives after the holidays. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether this is
true in any respect except theory.
And considering Cutting, it is
probably more accurate to predict
that the Senate will in the future
be composed of forty-six Repub-

where had she read that pity is
akin to love?" Well, there would
be none of that for her! Her lover
Of such could possibly exist must
love her for herself and not for
what the troubles of life had made
her.
But, whatever the reason for
Arthur's present concern, she was
sure of one thing-it meast moth
