HURJA SAYS ROOSEVELT SWEEP
 IS APPARENT.

letter from E. E. Hurja, who is working with the Democratic National Committee and has been investigating the newspaper polls that are being taken in widely separated parts of the coun- try, declares that Gov Roosevelt should carry all but four or five States of the Union in the elections next November. All the polls show tremendous sweep towards Roosevelt" he writes.
 Speaking of the poll of the Hearst papers, MT Hurja says: s
 I prepared to say that it Is fair
 just and equitable poll, and has bear
 ing whatever the papers their politics
 If the first weeks figures any criterion
 Roosevelt will carry all but four
 five States. I made a wager today that
 Hoover wouldn't carry ten States. If could
 get better odds l would bet that he wouldn't
 carry five
 MT. Hurja says Gov. Roosevelt "is taking very keen personal interest in the campaign, and is proving that he is man of his mind" The committee thought Gov Roossvelt's proposed Vest trip is unnecessary, but he thinks it is the thing to do and he will make the trip.
 Polls taken by daily newspapers in Portland and Seattle showed Roosevelt running seven eight to for Hoover and even higher. Polls in widely separated parts of Pennsylvania Delaware and Ohio were showing Roosevelt four and five to one favorite fef.sr#tHts
 Under the circumstance there seems to be a sub- stantial foundation for Speaker Gamers contention that the Roosevelt Garner ticket will sweep the country if mistakes made during the cam pagn.

A BRIDGE PLAYING NATION.

Popular historians will probably record the rapid increase in popularity of bridge, both contract and auction as one of the most interesting minor phen- omena of the present era. Newspaper and magazine articles, radio talks and books the subject have helped make America bridge-conscious in big way For many people the bridge problem has replaced the crossword puzzle. Indeed so popular has bridge become particularly among the women of the United States, that leading cigarette manu- iacturer Is now placing in every box of fifty cigarettes problem by one of the leading authori- ties on bridge as grateful gesture to the women Tor their patronage. Nobody knows just how many bridge players there are in the United States but the increase in popularity of the game is held to be largely responsible for increase in the number of packs of playing cards sold in 1881 as compared With 1850, playing cards being one of the few commodities to show increase in sales last year. The 1881 sales of playing cards amounted to almost 4900o000 packs approximately 100000 more than were sold the preceding year

CHAPTER 25. "I WAS AFRAID"

Sondra shook her head. There was a great fear in her heart, driving out all other emotion; she was asking herself in terror What is the matter with mel? it's only three months since Mark went away--and now-oh, can't really love John-oh, how can I?''
