CHAPTER xxxII

It was one Of those sharp bitter days of date January. Snow had fallen the day before and over- night had changed into sleet. The pavements were an icy menace along which taxicabs cautiously slid. At i've o'clock Susan looked out and shivered, threading the walk to the street car. For the past half hour she had noticed Mir Heath fussing about in his own office. There did not seem to be any particular reason for his -lin- gering. She was putting on her hat when he appeared In the door way. 4
 Miss Carey, I have the ear and it's a wretched night. Let me drop you at your home"
 Surprise showed in the girls face. "Oh, that's awfully kind of you but isn't 1t out of your way?"
 ''Not at all. l should be very happy to do 1t. Jut one moment and I'll be with you"
 They rode down in the elevator together, the girl, as always, more than little shy with this man. simon, waiting in the sleet, sprang down to open the door for them. He tucked q thick, soft rug around Susan's knees.
 Are you quite com fortabie?
 Susan said sho was. She felt as warm as toast.
 Good" Her. employers voice was brisk and buslness-like as ever. T wanted especially to talk to you" he went on. still in that quiet, impersonal way. The girl waited silently. She loved the luxury of this car, the rich robe under her fingers. She was quite unprepared for what was to follow.
 Abruptly the man blurted out. You knew, didn't you, that Mrs HeAth's term of residence in Reno will be over next week?"
 "No, didn't know that" Susan looked at him innocently.
 Yes. That's the way it Is. I shell be. free then"
 "yes, of course" Susan didn't know what elso to say.
 ''1'm afraid I'm doing all this very badly" Heath continued. He stared down at her, his thin, aristo. cratic features curiously illuniined. T want to ask you something im- portant."
 WuSuu Aett N saEB0 VI cAcitVuiVutp She sat quite still, waiting for him to go on.
 Would you think me quite mad If asked you to, be my wife when all this Is over?"
 Now that the question lay be- tween them Susan felt numb with astonishment.
 T know l shouldn't have done 1t this way" the man blundered on, but l have been so distressed about the whole, affair, so anxious to koep you out of 1t, that the necessary preamble to n proposal of marriage had to be foregone. You don't un- derstand, do your"

 'Wht mean is this. A young girl can and does expect the pre- limlnaries of courtship. My posi- ton made them impossible but can't you wont you overlook them all and consider the matter in . reasonable light?"

Outwardly calm, but refiecting In his appearance the joy of an un- precedented party victory, the gov- ernor induiged in his longest sleep since the day, nearly five months ago, when he embarked on his ampaign for the presidency.

 Of all the cheering thousands who noisiIy invaded democratic ma tional headquarters in the Hotel Biltmore where Roosevelt occu- pied a suite for the returns, the most unruffled were the Roosevelt family.
 The governor, before he depart. ed for the hotel, came to an in. formal supper at his East 65tf street home, ate generous DOT tion of baked ham, scrambled egg and sweet potato pie, chattet with a group of newspapermeI who were his guests, then called for his battered campaign hat t wear down to headquarters.

 Tn 1928 Massachusetts gave Al- fred E. Smith a plurality of 17,192 and in 1890 the state gave Ely a plurality of 16,664.
 Roosevelt's plurality fin Boston was 101,549 and Ely's was 106,767. Many small towns in the state went democratic for the first time in history.
 Though there were some close contests in the congressional dis tricts, indications to-day were that there would be few changes in the political complexion of the Massa- chusetts delegation in congress. Among the closest congressional battles was that between Arthur D. Healey, democrat, and Charles H. Norton, republican, for the seat vacated by Charles L.
