SYNOPSIS: Mrs. Town send" Georgie Revell Town send is asked abruptly and she realizes that danger threatens her effcrts to keep her recent marriage to Eddie Townsend a secret. She recognizes her questiOner as the doctor who gave first aid to Eddie before he was taken unconscious to the hospital, after the car in which he was driving Georgie and her cousin, Jenny had been crashed. Georgie plans to say that Jenny was married and net herself, as they have the same name, to keep her em- ployer from carrying cut his threat of firing Georgie if she marries. But this doctcr may have learned the truth. He tells GeOrgie that Eddie got a severe nervous shock in the smash, although he is a fa- nous plane pilot. Eddie's nerve has SO completely gone that he will have to take a holiday from flying, the doctor says. What happened?" Georgie en- quires, not admitting that she is Mrs. Townsend.

c. o.P. CONVENTION WILL BE WET.

The New York Herald Tribune says the vets are already assured of a safe working majority III the Republican National Convention and it's Resolutions Committee It fixes the standing of the delegates elected up to May 589 wet l56 dry ana 4S doubtful It suggests that the drys are hKeV to make gains in the 380 delegates that had not been chosen up to that time. However, the vets wlth their 589 votes to eliminate any claims rom the doubtful votes have eleven more than the necessary 578 to constitute a majority It is regarded as cer- tain that they will run their streigth up to more than 6O0-perhaps they will go far enough above that figure to give them convention majority of 100
 The great Republican New York newspaper says the vets are sure of a majority in the Resolutions Committee which is composed of one member from each delegation That will mean fifty-three com mitteemen It thinks the vets will have at least twenty-eight of these and probably twenty-nine The only danger it can might arise through inability of vets to agree the terms of the convention plank Some of them favor referendum as con- diton precedent to legisation others would prefer the simple resubnisson of the Eighteenth Amend- ment; still others ask for immediate repeal.

 The door had shut behind him before Georgie thought of saying Goodbye"
 She raised her left hand as though it belonged to someone else and looked at it. The ring was locked away in her new dressing table now. She had taken it off, when? She couldn't remember She had recollection of putting it for safe e-keeping in her bag, surely at the time of the accident she had been wearing gloves! Or-or had she taken them off when she and this doctor-man tore her silk into strips to bandage Eddie's Ihead? Doctors do notice those things, you know"

 There was a long, dreadful si- lence.
 Georgie put out her cigarette Presently she heard her own voice, It was shrill and a little roughen- ed.
 'It's bad luck, isn't it? On on his wedding day"
 Another pause She forced her self to look up. The doctors calculating, too-familiar glance was wandering around the room, talk ing in the new leather chair, the new phonograph, the elaborate ra- dio.

 Georgie nodded. Her lips felt very stiff, they were steadily smil- ing.
 T ought to have told you at once," she added, but I thought it might be better if I were the first to hear any bad news there might be. Jenny is-well, she's very inexperienced. Very easily alarmed"
 She sat straighter on the big chair. Her voice was becoming more natural with every word. But she wished the man would not stare at her so keenly. He looked as though he were setting some trap. Why should he, though? What were her affairs to him?
 Where is Mrs. Townsend?" May l see her?"
 She's not here just now. Shes at the hotel wilere-where she ex- poets Eddie to join her tomor- row" She gave the new curtain material a little push with her foot. Then she got up slowly.

 "Ycl'll have to talk to Dalhng about that, but I don't imagine he'll see any sense in keeping the poor chap there for long. It's not suitable place for a nerve case, you see, anyway" He hesitated and again Georgie's intuition warn ed her of a trap being prepared.

 "Why-should it be?"

NEW BICENTENNIAL QUARTER
 DOLLAR COINED.

The new George Washington quarter dollar, to be issued by the United States Treasury feature of the nationwide George Washington Bicentennial Celebration, will be coined in large enough quan- titles to satisfy a normal demand officials of the Treasury have informed the United States George Washington Bicentennial Commission. It is expected that the quarter will be ready for distribution be- fore June l.
 The design of the new coin approved by Secretary of the Treasury Ogden L. Mills from more than hundred models, many of them sub mitted by leading American artists. It executed by John Flanagan, New York sculptor and the de- signer of the Department of Agriculture World War Memorial.
 The obverse of the new coin bears the portrait of George Washington in profile Over the head appears the word Liberty" and below it is stamped the date 1882" To one side is the motto Tn God We Trust"
 The principal design the other side is a spread eagle with the inscription United States of America" and "E Pluribus Unum" above, and "Quarter Dollar" below An olive branch also ap- pears below the eagle to complete stately dign- size weight and fnneness the present quarter dollar.
 The George Washington quarter is the first coin of regular issue ever to bear the image of the First President. It was authorized by special act of Congress making it possible for the Treasury to share in the Bicentennial Celebration.

 Ohio Republcans's switch from the dry to the wet side, followed by Michigan's turnover, the conversion of William M. But Ter, former Senator from Massachusetts and a possible Chairman of the Republican Reso- lutions Committee; and the rapid succession of switches which took all but one of the Presidents Cabinet and ten additional Sen- ators from the dry to the wet column, were forerunners of the present indicated wet majority in the convention itself.

 Suppose the Old Man didn't believe her?
 If he didn't believe her, he would dismiss her. He would not en- ploy a married woman worker. She would get a months salary and she would go.
 A months salary wouldn't do any more than pay her bank over draft. What about the rest of the bills? What about the trous- Seau?
 Eddie's savings were there, but they would not support the two of them for very long. They would not even support Eddie alone for very long. And who to know, who was to say how long Eddie must, somehow, be supported?

.SCIEISCE
BY DAVID DIETZ

In Nile VALLEY Lies Story Of
Mans Progress From Phg-
steal World to Spiritual
Realms, Says DR.. James
Henry Breasted.
THE story Of how mankind pro-
Il gressed from an awareness of
the physical world to an aware
ness of the spiritual world is found
in the ancient history Of the Nile
valley. according to DR.. James Henry
Breasted, famous historian and
archeologist, and director of the ORR
entail Institute of the University
of Chicago.
''From the time that man gained
agriculture, his life periodically has
been involved in a struggle between
the tremendous impression re-
ceived from the natural world and
the human impulses that are engen-
dered by social experience and So
cial struggle" DR.. Breasted says.
I'm the Nile valley we can watch
the first of these periodic strug-
giles and with sympathetic under
standing we can follow the first
freak age of spiritual disillusion-
ment.
'We watch the triumphant con-
quest of material forces, at first slow
and then moving with astounding
rapidity as these ancient Nile dwell
erS came completely under the spell
Of their material triumphs."

A Great Editor

zone of the great men of Europe" was The way
woodrow Wilson spoke of c. p Scott. King George
said that his achievement surely must be unique in
the history of journalism"
He was more powerful than politicians, making
and unmakng governments. He nodded the MIND
of Britain-what he said one year, British public opn-
ion was apt to say the next decade.
Now that he is dead at IS, one realizes with
shock that many probably never even heard OF this
great man. And yet that is natural enough. Indeed,
that in a sense is the greatest tribute to him.
For the world has heard much of the Manchester
Guardian and for fifty years G. P Scott was the
Manchester Guardian He made it the most feared,
the most respected and the most beloved newspaper
in the world.
There are two kinds of editors, those who blow
their own horns, and those who sink their identity
in the public service of their papers Instead of
making people talk about himself, G. P Scott made
people think about the issues to which he dedi-
Gated.
There are editors like that. But there more
because of his example.
There are newspapers that follow the crowd and
those that lead When Scott young man took
over the Manchester Guardian, it pandered to the
popular prejudices. He transformed it,
Never in fifty years did he attempt to make circu-
lation for his paper or profit for his by an
appeal that was tawdry, cheap, vulgar or vicious
Never did he stoop to patroteering. And never did
he feed poisoned news to the people because they
thought they liked it.
Often he sacrificed the profits of his paper, often
he sacrificed the regard of the public and of old
friends rather than sacrifice the truth. He was the
fearless progressive.
The record of the Manchester Guardian editorial
page the record Of British progress during the last
half century With courage equaled by wisdom,
SCOTS newspaper fought for Irish home rule at
time when that leadership meant ostracism; fought
for woman suffrage when that meant rdicule fought
against the Boer war when that meant the taunt of
treason; fought for a just peace in the World war
when that meant a charge of aiding the enemy;
fought for the conscientious DIRECTORS when that
meant defying the madness Of his country and
the world fought for fair play for the general strik
ers when most of the press persons and politicians
called for blood.
Perhaps the most encouraging thing that can be
said about the state of the world in this new year
of 1892 is that it can appreciate a once unpopular
leader like G. P. Scott that it put its faith in
progressive newspaper like the Manchester Guardian
The tributes that are pouring into Manchester
from the mighty and the lowly of many lands are
evidence that the thinking world has sense of val
ues and a high goal.
