drew up a chair and seated himself
At the table. It was o far cry to
the prison cell: the waking in a chill

crete floors. the banging Of huge
steel doors and then the sullen shut
fling into the CHASTITY mess hall,
where prisoners were forbidden 70
speak. He sat back in his chair
and suEared his berries, then poured
the rich, fresh cream over them
but his face reflected no happiness.
The luxury of the past three days
had been like gall and wormwood.
This was no more his sphere than
prison had been. The nadir had beea
undeserved. and he did not belong
in the zenith.
He understood that this was Peter
Borden's gesture Of amends. But il
was not in Bob Terry's power 70 for

r~ever-cnding years he had nurtured
a hatred of this man, had developed
q single consuming passion that
Borden must suffer as he had suf-
fered, and Borden's kindness had ac-
centuated that desire. Ii seemed to
bring home to the boy that all dur
J ing this three years the nan who
had sent him 10 prison had been lux
Iriating in silk and velvet. Bob had
not talked. The habits of three years
are not discarded as readily as pris-
on garments. And both Peter Bor-
den and Lois had respected the tac-
iturnity which they interpreted "a
embarrassment and left him free Ia
70 his way.
Halfway through breakfast Bob
espied an envelope on his tray. II
was addressed in the fine, small
handwriting Of Peter Borden. His
lips twisted into a sneer as he han
died il. II was a large envelope,
quite full. And finally, with a ges-
ture Of disgust, the young man
ripped il open.

Sullivan Is Consulted.
Harlan first made his proposal to
Hurley, asserting that if Wilson could
he elected Governor of New Jersey,
he would be in line for the preslden-
t1ial nomination. They talked over
the proposal with Roger c. Sullivan,
Democratic leader in Illinois, who was
iii Chicago at the time.

of Senator James Smith of New Jersey
Fhat, "if you were elected Governor,
YOU would not set about fighting and
breaking down the existing Demo
cratic organization and replacing It
with enc of your own"
ChicagOans Are Credited.
This letter reached DR.. Wilson dur
Eng the June commencement at Prince

he was interested and that he was
willing to assure Senator Smith that

start fighting the existing Demo
cratic organization" This letter was
handed to Hurley, who showed it to
Senator Smith in New York.
Mr.. Hurley, in addition to credit
