though the very thought struck all
the warm joyous life out of her body.
His ravenous kisses fell on cold lips
and cheeks, on a soft throat line
from which the pul seemed to
have died.
With a curse he released her.
Ethel turned. Her sister was swift
ly breasting the hin toward them.
She must have seen.
With an awkward swagger the
man strode forward a step or two.

laughed. I'VE hadn't aimed 10 make
any announcement yet, but since
you drapped in why we gotta admit

The older sister looked at Ethel,
standing there white and stricken.
She did not understand, but she
knew instinctively that the girl
hated this bully and was afraid of
him. Her fierce eyes went back to
Stark and stabbed at him.
"Get off our land" she ordered
in a low tense voice. IF | ever see
you on it again I'll kill you"
Like you did Tom McArdle." he
suggested significantly.
The blood ebbed from her face,
but the hard and shining eyes did
not falter. who says killed him?"
she asked, almost in a whisper.
"Why. I'm sayin' it right now,
an know another fellow who could
say it," he told her exultantly.
You're a prince of liars" she
told him.
Thought you'd get away with ii,
didn't you? Thought nobody knew
how you'd dry-gulched Tom at the
cut-bank? Pretty slick work. eh?"
He straddled, bow-legged in his
leather chaps, ieering at her ex-
ultantly. The slim brown-faced
woman looked like a child beside
him, but she faced him without
quailing. She might have stood for
portrait of quiet defensive resolu-
ton.
"I'm asking you what you mean"
"Plain enough, aln't ii? You
shot Tom from the brush. an | can
prove it,"
The older sister turned to the
younger. How long has he been
meeting you?"
He came the week after-after
he was killed" Ethel spoke In a
low voice of distress. The pronoun
of indefinite antecedent was quite
clear TO all present as to who was
meant.
"And he has been here sinceT

"Yes."

spoke In a low clear note of con-

"Yes."

Stark said virtuously. That's the

He hesitated, his vanity in arms.
The position was a humillating one,
but he did not see any way out of

admitted vindictively. But don't

asked.

She ended with a wall of dis
tress.
They went into each others arms
and sobbed together. After a time,
when they had cried themselves out.
Ann told her story.
She had spent the night at one
Of their sheep camps and was nd
ing home in the early morning when
she met Tom McArdle. He had
stopped her, though she had tried
to push past him. and she had
lashed him savagely In a spate of
words for what he had done to
Nora.

around the hall were photographs OF
other Republican candidates.
The arrival of Col. William j. Dono-
van, the nominee for Governor, threw
the thousands into an uproar that sub
sided only when Senator Felix Hebert,
Eastern chairman of the National Com
mittee, was introduced for a few re-
marks.
Donovan sat beside w. Kingsland
Macy, the State chairman of the party,
and George 2. Medalie, Republican
senatorial nominee opposing the vet
eran Robert Wagner, Democrat incum-
bent. F. Trubee Dawson, Republican
nominee for lieutenant Governor, and
the senatorial nominee, Medalie, spoke
briefly
Before the President arrived a chorus
of boos resounded over the arena as
Medalie characterized as a "slur" Gov.
Roosevelt's statement in Baltimore that
after 1929 the Republicans came into
control Of all branches of the Govern
ment. including the Supreme Court.
While Donovan was talking, the Pres
ident arrived at the Garden.

flags waving and paper floating through
the air from the balconies hlgn ABOVE

nary yelling and hand applause to give

OF red white and blue.
President Hoover stood quietly smll-
ing during the ovation, but his smile
broadened perceptibly as it continued.
Mrs. Hoover joined her husband at the
speakers stand and the din increased.
Outside the Garden police said thou
sands were massed. In the immediate
area around the presidential car as 1t
came along Fiftieth street to the Gar
den there was booing which drowned
the cheers.
There had been cheering along the
route and the presidential party also
was cheered when it left the hotel.
Considerably after the President en-
tered the Garden a group estimated by
police at several hundred gathered at
Forty ninth street and Broadway and
marched toward Eighth avenue bear
ing banners advocating the election OF
the Communist ticket Of William y.
Foster for President.
Other placards they bore said: Fight
for bread. vote red" Other banners de-
nounced the President.
President Hoover told delegation OF
disabled veterans whom he received at
his hotel last night that 'the day will
never come when this country is too
poor or too niggardly to take care Of
those disabled in battle"
Speaking to the delegation, several
hundred in number. in the roof garden
of the Waldorf Astoria, the President
said.
Il saw the last war. I know the
sacrifice made by men who went to the
World War. The men who were dis
abled have owing to them larger con-
sideration than is payable by money.
1.-THE day will never come when this
country is too poor or too niggardly to
] take care of those disabled in battle.

money, but on our sympathy. That
charge has never been questioned"

day President Hoover had crushed

THE President rejected emphatically

Gov. Roosevelt has advocated the en-
try of the Government into business
That issue now is clear. I am glad that
the President pointed out that true
liberalism is not the spread of socialism
or bureaucracy, as the Democrats pro-
pose, but the preservation of opportu-
nifty for the individual. He has crushed
pseudo o-liberalism. 1t was great speech
by great President"
Other Comment on Speech.

"Great Man Proclaiming Faith"
Henry w. Taft: mo amount of snap

erase the picture of the President at

my childhood and my early youth, l
greet him with affection and admira-

a man whose constant care and every
thought has been for those in need and
those in suffering great leader OF
our Nation who has devoted long days
of concentration and many sleepless
nights to the service Of his country.
1T is with very great pleasure that

rick j. Hurley. Secretary Of War, in
a Republican campaign address last
night, said that Except for the firm
opposition OF President Hoover and the
Republicans in Congress our Govern
ment might have taken step which
would have led us to financial ruin"
The Patman bill for immediate pay
ment of the soldiers bonus, which was
passed by the Democratic House, but
which never became law would
drive the United States of the gold
standard" he asserted.
1T is due to the Hoover admlnlstra-

anchored to the gold standard and has
successfully resisted all assaults upon
it from abroad" he said
by means of legislation initiated by
the administration. our gold supplies
were fortified, the outward flow of gold
was checked Confidence abroad in
the soundness of the gold dollar was
restored"
In an earlier speech at Cincinnati,
