Sir John Murray, head of the famous
publishing house and fourth of the John

The second John, who succeeded in

Southey and Clifford, brought out the
Tory Quarterly Review in opposition to

the publisher of Byron, Crabbe, Jane

SPAIN-I think we shall have to see
the two exhibitions Spain is giving next
year, one on the heights overlooking
Barcelona, the other in park near
charming Seville; the two intended to
signalize the boasted Spanish Renais-
sance. MY understanding is that the
Barcelona exhibit is to be OF interna-

A commission of technical experts is
studying the project of railway tunnel
under the Straits of Gibraltar. 1t is
| roughly estimated that the tunnel would
| be about SO miles long, including only
| 8l5 miles under the strait itself, and
that the construction would require
about six years. 1t is proposed that the
/ undertaking be purely Spanish, both as

of course, the completed tunnel would
be connected with complete Cape to

AFGHANISTAN.~--According to re-
ports, the Ameer Amanuilah of Afghan
istan is decidedly "up against it" in
his efforts to Westernize his storied
land, including abolition of purdah.

his army has turned against his mai

plausible explanation of the detection

swollen and lame, but she told her self she was not going to think about it. She had put all the trou- Eles of yesterday behind her, and would only think of the joy of to- day. David was home, she had q job, the sun was shining, and she was happy.
 Suddenly a black cloud floated across the sun and, as though in keeping with the shadow, David said:
 T haven't said anything to you until now about Ralph Armitage. Lyn. They say he's a pretty bad lot, and 1 know he is a great worry to his father, who has been prince l to me. l am sure he'll spot you in few days, when he returns from the business trip he is on now. l think you are about the only black head in the big room. and you're certainly the prettiest girl there.
 You'd better be little stand offish win young Armitage. It would never do for a girl to let him think she might fall for him, if what I have recently heard about him is true"
 Immediately Lynda thought David remembered what her father had said about taking her wares to a better market than himself, and her heart sank.
 She stopped still in the almost deserted street.
 David, do you believe that every woman in the world only waits for the highest bidder?"
 David looked appalled,. What are you driving at. Lyn? What do you mean? Highest bidder. nonsense! I. for one. don't think so: not on your life"
 Well, my father believes it. He keeps harping on the fact that my mother deserted us for a man ,'ho had more money than he. and Ic says that all women are the same. He insists that the good women in the world are the ones no man wants. Is that the reason you went | lflt tO De On eudfu dSdlHSl hdlHIi Armtage? Do you think he will want me-"
 David looked at Lynda in sur prise. Her innocent question appall- ed him. He had not realized until now to what extent she had lived alone. He suddenly remembered that he had never seen her with anoth- CT girl more than once or twice in all the years they had grown ur together. He became aware, also. of low much he had learned and hroadencd since he had left schoo and gone to work He felt a great wave of pity for this girl. who walked along so unconsciously be- side him.
 He wondered what she would dc and think when she heard the girls in the office talk of leading fellow on, and whose kiss held the greates, thrill.
 "Lyn's in for q jolt. all right h. said to himself and felt a littl,

sorry he had got her the job at Armitage.
 Strange. as he looked at her. he realized for the first time in all their childish companionship that Lynda's tremulous lips were red and moist. and her eyes very ull Int and beautiful
 He told himself that he would see that Ralph Armitage kept away from her. and that he would intro- duce her first to Emily Andrews. who seemed always to be able to take care of herself, although she looked like lovely piece of Dres- den china that would break if one touched 1t roughly. He was sure that she could tell Lynda who were the right ones to know in the office.
 At the thought of Emily, David almost forgot about Lynda. although she trudged along beside him Elm fly was new type to him, and very fascinating. She asked so much. and he was always glad to give.
 When Lynda and he parted at the outside door of the offices. David went through the private hall into a room where the elder Armitage sat in great formality and state, while Lynda went into the general office filled with girls writing form letters. transcribing dictagraph notes and filing or making out bills. 1 II seemed 10 her that hush set tied down upon them as she came in. but no one looked up to greet her. She knew instinctively that the minds. if not the eyes. of every girl in the room. were upon her. and she was sure it was because they knew she had come in with David Kenmore.
 Her arm and shoulder burned with pain. and she felt as though every one of those girls could see the disfisuring scar and wondered what had happened to her.

IMMIGRATION
STAND upheld
Robinson Says Smith
Plan Would Admit
Few Foreigners

HASTINGS. Neb., Oct. 20.-tPt-
Fewer immigrants would enter the
United States under the proposals
OF Governor Smith than those Her
bert Hoover advocates, Senator Joe
r. Robinson declared in a campaign
address tonight, which he said was
prompted BY neutrality-suspicious.
placed on democratic immigration
views By republican speakers
He charged that Senator Curtis,
republican vice presidential nominee,
was among those who are misstating
the democratic immigration program
and declared Smith stood squarely
on the Houston immigration plank
which asserted that claws which
limit immigration must be preserved
in full force and effect
Robinson declared Governor Smith
has stated in his acceptance and 9TH
err speeches his full favor Of pre-
serving laws which limit immigra-
ton and that he believes certain
harsh provisions which separate
families" should be removed.
Referring to farm relief, a topic
which the senator is expected t.
deal with fully during his middle
western tour, Robinson declared that
no to men were more responsible Tor
the failure OF adequate agricui-
tural legislation" than Hoover and
Curtis. He denounced Hoover for
advising as President Coolidge's
chief counsellor the veto Of the Nc
Nary-Haugen BILL" and Curtis, for
voting to sustain the Coolidge veto
after three times voting for the
measure.
