Bertha turned to them with a startled look.

she cried. Three days before Christmas!
You're not leaving home now!"
Anne had definite air of trying to be casual.
I'VE pay too much attention to Christmas,
don't you think?"
Anyway, the elements are on your side"
said Carl. He Strolled to the window and
peered out unhappily. Anne followed him.
"LookP cried Carl. There comes a car up
the Glen roadl"
Bertha joined them and saw down the valley
the light Of car making its way In the storm.
The light Of James house was now obScured

De as much in love as am" said Anne.
Bertha stared at them. How beautiful they
were! How they loved each other! More than
they knewl Was she so certain that they had
chosen badly?"
The question. stabbing at her, swung her
round to face some inner clarnor of which she
had been aware from the first

Anne. $500

'Oh, just breaking their old laws for them"
Carl explained.
And history" Anne informed Bertha prettilv.

gan. Carl put in. That's unthnkable" But
they may suddenly have remembered that this
was neither certain nor modern, and they
looked at each other bit foolishly.
Carl burst out: MRS. Millet-youre not
going to pretend that you weren't glad when
Bart went away?"
I'm spite of everything didn't-didnt my
mother really do you-a service?" said Anne,

Of q secret thought which had sometimes come
to her through the years of her own marriage
to Bart Millet, Berthas first stricken amaze
ment was more at this barefaced announcement
than at the opinion itself.
Yet instinctively she cried: "Oh my dears
not that"
She felt her mistake in their instant with
drawal They said no more, seeming oddly to
feel that the burden of proof lay upon her.
IT shouldn't have thought she accused
them feebly: that you'd stand for anything
so unoriginal"
They laughed This was better. Carl she
saw, had wistfully expected Of her something
like this.
ITO 60 against marriage" she began and
glanced at Anne and faltered
Don't mind me-" said Anne briskly. Moth
er gave you a rotten deal-nobody feels that
more than I do I'm frightfully ashamed
Of it."
Every case seems special" Bertha heard
herself saying This had come so suddenly
she had no time to sort her certainties!
Anne leaned toward her.
Look here" she said winningly, 'be yourself
with us, pleased Don't feel you have to stand
up for society We both know-everybody
knows--what you've been through. You-you
were a wonder, and marriage simply crucifled
YOU You were brick-but-it-it killed some
Of you, all the same. Don't stand up for that
sort of thing-to us!"
Bertha looked at Annes wise young face-so
strangely wise on such youthful shoulders.
Why. she was not % yet! And yet she was
aware of truths.
Bertha caught herself on that Truths? Yes,
there was truth in what Anne had just been
saying She knew, the village knew-and other
villages and other valleys, the world around.
There were marriages that killed some Of the
souls Of those who had taken marriage vows.
But, oh. couldn't they see the others"
Would you go through it again?" Anne de-
manded. az mean, as you did before"

cried to them, but you two! Don't you know
that you love each other?" She tried to add
gayly: II know tt can see that you dol"
I'VE love each other too much to bind each

Bertha turned TO Anne. "Tell me-" she said
you don't mind my asking-dO you feel this

Anne laughed. "No. I've believed this way
for ages"

she acted on that principle of freedom-do you
think that She"
"Oh but she wasn't freel" cried Anne "She
was bound-or she ought to have been-by

inside you can never get free yourself or let
anybody else be free. OF course, mother has
suffered fearfully. That's one of the things
that make me know marriage is so wrong

HE put out his hand, and she took it, Their
look was the look of two who would never
let each other go.

however.

He turned to look to the window.

Carl, don't you think that you should stay
here?"
Again his look went to the window, where the
lights of his car made the flakes sparkle.
'I could get on all right myself" he said,

She made gesture: her face was not even
curious.
at shall not mind, whoever it Is" Her thought
caught, as on some visible obstacle. Perhaps
you mean it's somebody who wouldn't care about
putting up with me?"
Its not that-why, she's up here with me,
isn't she? But you'll wish it wasn't such q bad
night"
"If she wouldn't care" said Bertha lightly,

ham,"
For an instant her look was blank.
"Jane Graham's daughter" he had to add.
Does she know?" Bertha asked only.
"Oh, everything!'
'Then she shares the valleys idea that
deserved what got. She won't want"
Don't be absurd But are you sure"
Don't you be absurd" she said, and took
down another cup.
His look was his answer. Then she heard
him:
"Anne! Mrs. Millet wants us both to stay"
A NNE and Bertha met as two beings having
no wrongs and no relatives.
Mrs. Millet," Anne said, IT do wish we
weren't making you so much trouble! I was
paralyzed at that Glen road coming up.
q daren't think of 1t going down."
IT shouldn't have forgotten either of you,"
Bertha said.
Anne slipped out of her coat-she had q
scarf over her hair and she wore nothing over
= her shoes. She was in a black gown, but her
bright, short hair and her high color height
ened the room like light
Come and have some coffee" said Bertha,
and the doubtful moment was at an end.
That Carts path and Anne's were irrev-
ocably crossed became at evident to
Bertha She wondered what there is to signal
that two people are In love. Not words nor
looks-but they flowed together mind and
mood, like an hour and clock-and no more
to be said about it. Love, among many things,
was what they were for, and they assumed it.
And yet, Bertha saw, there was not less ro-
nance. but moreI Carl and Anne were not, in
the manner of older lovers, disconnected.
Merely they were exquisitely, jubilantly at
home.
When, therefore, Carl said "Anne, shall we
tell herr" Bertha said: do tell me the par
ticulars. the plans! Everything else see for
myself"
But" cried Anne gayly, we're not going
to be married. We want to be free-perfectly
free. Wei don't believe in marriage"
Faced thus abruptly with the open phrasing

Old Soak Learns New
And Naughty Words
From Sailors

Sailors on the Dollar liner
President Wilson, en- route to this
country from Manila, must main.
tain a tight-lipped silence in the
presence Of Old Soak. When the
ship sailed the sailors gathered
around Old Soak and talked to
him as seafaring men talk to sea-
faring parrots. And Old Soak be-
gan to reply in kind.
Capt. S. c. Anderson heard the
bird talking. He was shocked.
He was perturbed to think that
such undiplomatic language might
be heard in the sedate offices Of
the State Department, or in the
White House. So he told his
sailors to stop adding to the birds
already too extensive vocabulary.
Old Soak is a Chinese speaking
parrot owned by Secretary OF
State Stimson. He is being brought
to this country to rejoin his
master who left him behind in his
hurry to take over his new job.

carrying generous increases in
duties to protect many industries,

Oregon, chairman, said the bill is
completed and ready for a final
vote, No further changes are anti.
cipated.

been taken by the committee to
prevent schedules the bill from be-
coming public pending its intro
duction, but we'll authenticated re-
ports indicated that there will be
many increases in rates and Vir-
tually no reductions.
The committee. however, accord
ing to Chairman Hawley, has fol-

ment to meet only changed condi.
tions arising since 1922, and to
cover industries that have sprung
up in the last few years.
Reports, say the committee has
granted an increase in rates for the
textile industry, both wool and cot
ton, has placed a small duty on
cement, and increased the wool
tariff, added to the duty on flax,
corn and some other agricultural
products, and has boosted several
chemical schedules.

Q.N.S).-Eugene Bussey, the man
who kissed and told" was under
arrest on a material witness charge
today, the latest sequel to the killing
and cremation Of Dorothy Peacox by
her husband, Earle Peacox. The lat
ter is held for the grand jury on
murder charge.
Bussey was taken into custody at
the Hotel BiltmoNe in New York a
few hours after District Attorney
Frank A. Coyne had stated his be-
lief that the Johns Hopkins Univer'
sity students story was OF no i'm.
portance. Bussey had related
stories of ''petting parties" with Pea.
cox wife before she was slain and
burned by the jealous husband.
The petition for Bussey's arrest
was in the form of an affidavit by
Peacox's lawyer, John NJ. Holzworth.
Although Bussey has repud1ated
his friendship for Peacox, the con-
fessed torch slayer won another ally
TODAY in Stanley Hart, %, also a
boyhood chum, who said: 81 blame
Dorothy for all Earle's troubles"
Hart met Peacox in the jail and
assured him he was "for him.. He
related how, upon meeting Dorothy
at a party shortly before her mar
riage, he was struck with a feeling
of repulsion and left, never to again
attend party at which she was
present.
Coyne believes he has obtained two
important admissions from Peacox
that will strengthen the premedita-
ton theory.
Peacox admitted that he lured his
wife to their Mt. Vernon apartment
and struck her over the head one
minute after she entered, Coyne said,
thus multiplying his previous story
that he had struck her in moment
Of jealous rage.
Peacox also abandoned his story

HARRIS FIGHTS
TRUST PRESS

Declaring his opposition to power
trust ownership Of newspapers, Sem
ator Harris D) of Georgia an
nounced today he would seek early
action on his bill, denying second
class mailing privileges to news
papers under common ownership.
The Harris bill would apply to
privately owned papers as well as
those held by utility interests. 1t
would not affect any newspapers,
however, already under common
ownership, but would apply, solely
to the future.
The insurgent bloc meanwhile
continued studying the possibility of
enacting a legislative remedy, halt
ing the invasion of the newspaper
field by the power trust. Senator
Dill CD of Washington said he
had read Harris bill and did not
favor it, because it would permit
the power trust to retain its present
newspaper holdings. Dill said he
hoped to get bill which would
drive the utility interests out Of
the newspaper field.
