Echo of Other DAYS

When the new bonnet was tossed into the fashion
ring not long ago, it produced a p~andemonium Of excite
ment. Doubtless it has been given as much publicity as
any gangster shooting or political revolt could ever hope
to obtain. 1t has changed the tempo of the age a little.
1t is going to slow it down, those who know, are saying.
Life will become more dignified, more formal.
Women will be demure. They will be sweet rather than
smart if they must make a choice. And now it has been
announced that the dance is tuning its music to the dear,
dead days, also. "A new dance, the merica, is keeping
step with the hats.
1t would seem that when a bonnet enters the fashion
ring it has as much influence as a glove in the political
arena.

Dan Moody rode into the governors chair in a fight
with the Fergusons over road building.
Jim Alfred is headed in the governors office. His
fight is through the courts, and is aimed at trust-busting.
There are two in the race already. E. Mcdonald,
the agriculture commissioner, and Paul Loven of New
Braunfels, also-ran of two years ago.
What will Sterling do? There are many hundred
candidates who would like to know. But he keeps his
peace.
What will Alfred do? Another many hundred would
like to know. He, too, abides his time.
What will the Fergusons do? Didn't you hear the
ringing challenge from his henchn<n at Woodbridge park
a few nights ago: PAY your poll tax and get ready for
next year,
Interesting, too, is a study entitled what will Tom
Love do, Clint Small, the Davdsons, Barry Miller, and all
the others in the alsorans, has-beens and never-was gang?
And you mustn't forget the aspirations of Sen. Walter
Woodward, trumpeter of the Sterling campaign.
Yes, pay your poll tax and get ready for next wear.
There will be plenty of candidates and enough issues to
go around.

CHAPTER XVIII
CLOWLY Mark Travers closed the

OF dark hair fell rowdyishly over
n eye. The collar Of his shirt was
open, his necktie loosened. In the
dim light Norma did not see the
shadows beneath the youths eyes
or notice that his cheeks had an
unnatural tinge.
The girl was out OF bed instantly.
She had forgotten her lonely eve

Travers rested his weight against
the door. looked at her as though
she were a stranger. What you

He was certainty not himself.
Abashed. Mortified the girl stepped

Mark noted the movement.

Norma had found her voice.
"Mark-here. sit down. You're

He would not take the chair she
thrust towards him. Instead he
started across the room. There
was a slight unsteadiness In his
gait. Suddenly he turned. straight
