Political Chairman-Po5tmaSter
General, Mr.. Farley. In State
after State Mr.. Farley, in his
speeches, has emphasized the
amount of relief money which
his party is spending in that
area-Speeches which have
given rise to the Republican re-
joinder that any part ought to
be able to sweep the Congress
sional elections which has at
its disposal the largest cam
paign fund in history.
Common Objective
On the surface the strategy
of the President and his chief
politicians appears to be in
conflict but it probably will
soon appear that they have a
common objective. This is the
retention within the Democratic
ranks of the maximum num-
ber of Republican insurgents
who left their party in 1882 to
vote against Hoover or Tor
Roosevelt.
The excuse offered at the
time by many of these voters
was that the country was in
the midst of a great emergen-
cy, and that to wage effectual
war on the depression, party
politics should be forgotten.
In the Congressional cam
paign now on Mr.. Roosevelt, as
the titular leader of the party
in power, is doing his best to
encourage his Republican sup
porters to believe that the
emergency is still on, and that
they should continue to follow
his leadership until the coun'
try enters again the promised
land of prosperity.
He is leaving to Mr.. Farley
the political harangues that ap'
peal to the thick and thin
Democrats who vote the
straight ticket year after year
with Tammany regularity.
If the Roosevelt strategy sue
ceeds this year. and there is
every indication that the Dem.
ocratS will increase their ma
jority in the Senate and not
lose many seats in the House,
the Way will be cleared for an

Little Girl, What Now?

Little Girl, What Now?
What chance has a girl, to-
day, of finding a genuine, non
breakable love and a non-skid-
ding marriage? What sort of
deal are women getting under
the present love-code?
From where we stand, it looks
as though no industry needed a
boost from the NRA so desper-
ately as does the ancient bust
ness of love and marriage.
America is rapidly rivalling
Russia as the Great EX-Wife
Country; and incidentally it
holds the championship as the

cried.
Where he stood, with his face
lifted and unshadowed, she saw
him plainly. She could see the look
in his eyes. 1t set her heart beating

Page, indeed-I'd come down if
could, but I-can't!"
Her voice broke and he caught
the change in it. Hope mounted
into certainty; he was sure she loved
him, but she was coquetting with
it, playing with it, like a girl. Hi

gate she called to him.

down the long quiet street. HI

but it was true.

followed her. II can't tell you to-
day. she gasped, that's part of it
the pledge, l mean, but I'll tell
you next week"
She broke away; she must not
tell them, she dared not-yet! She
turned a little wildly and ran out
of the room.
Nancy lay quite still, face down
ward on her bed, hands clasped close
over her eyes, shutting out the light.
Her head ached terribly, it ached SO
that the throbs ran down through
her body and shook her with angu-:
ish. 1t was fearful, yet it was a
blessing, while it ached like that she
could not think. If she tried to
think she would remember that she
had promised to marry Richard on
Monday. She did not want to
think.
Through her went the crashing
and rushing of Roddy's train going
to New York; she felt as if the
steel wheels passed over her and left
her bleeding. She had saved him,
he would get there in time to pay
the money back, they would never
know. And she had spared the two
downstairs too.
1t had crushed her father to
think of his girl shamed for her
brother. Nancy's lips twitched
with pain at the thought; he had
looked so like death in his sleep.
The feeling had come to her with
a horrible swift surprise-her father
was growing old! She clutched at
her pillows, shaking. Her world
might tumble down and she would
have no one left-no one butt
was too much.
She S on her elbow and stared
out of the window with pain blurr-

FIFTH INSTALLMENT

IF you stay-if they come to get
you before you pay it back-it will
kill them both-I mean father and
mother. You must go, Roddy!"
You're a trump, Sis!" he said
thickly, you've saved melt

I'll go, but I've got to tell them
first, l mean the governor and mo-
Their"
"In tell them!" Nancy shivered.
"You can't stop for tiff you lose
this train-they might arrest you,
they may be on their way now!"
She kissed him suddenly. "Oh,
Rod, be good now!' she sobbed.
He could not speak, but he
wrung her hand; then the gate
slammed and he was gone.
Nancy rose slowly, steadying
herself an instant with one hand on
the old bench where she had sunk,
and then she went slowly into the
house.
Her mother was sitting in a
rocker by the window, her face hid
den in her hands. Her father sat
in the same chair where he had slept
that morning. His gray hair was
standing up on top of his head and
he had not shaved; he looked older
than ever
He stared around at Nancy.
"Where's Roddy?" he demanded
hoarsely. "Where's he hiding? l
haven't seen him this morning-my
God, l can't think where he got his
streak from-my son a common
theft"
"You sha'n't say hat of Roddy!'
Mrs. Gordon cried for the humid
redth time. ut isn't true he never
meant to take it, it's some mistake.
He meant to pay it back!"
Eyes," her husband assented
harshly, che did. You're right
about that, Sarah, l never knew a
thief who didn't mean to pay it
back. They all dol"
We've got to pay it back then!'

"Die?" Mr.. Gordon raised his hag-
gard face and stared at her, "Pd
rather see Rod dead this minute than
a common thief. God knows I
wish l had him in his coffin now
mailed down tight"
"Papa!" Nancy's tone startled
him, he raised his eyes again to her
face, his lips twitching with intol-
cradle pain.
She swayed toward him, her blue
ieyes beautiful and soft; she loved
him in his agony. She understood
it. He had lost his pride in his
son and he was too poor to pay; he
was thinking of her and of her mo-
ther. Nancy's lips shock but she
commanded herself.
Papa" she said softly, MAMA
-" she held her hands out to them
tenderIy. "Ive come to tell you
Roddy is safe; he's got the money,
all of it, and he's gone to pay it
back. l think he'll get there before
they eve find it out"
Her father merely stared, incre-
dulous, but her mother uttered a
choked cry.
"Oh, Nancy! How did he get
it? Who lent him all that?"
Nancy held her breath. If she
told them, she did not know what
her father might do. He loved her.
he might take it hard, he might
even go to Richard about it, and he
could not pay it back, it would ruin
him. She looked from one worn
white face to the other and her eyes
misted; she was doing it for them,
she knew it now, for all of them
because she loved them so much
it was an anguish to see them suf-
fer.
II borrowed it, Mama," she an
swered softly, II got it and-anc
Roddy and l will pay it back"
Mr.. Gordon half rose from his
chair. who did you get that
money from, Nancy?" he demanded
hoarsely.
Nancy backed away from them;
they were both dazed but their eyes

ed eyes-Richard! She gave a little
cry and plunged her head down
again into her pillows, sobbing and
shaking with fear.
Then the pain in her head began
again and she stopped thinking, she
lay after a while very still and limp,
like a shot bird unable to use its
wings. Sheer exhaustion, a sleepless
night and the long racking of her
nerves had told. The girl had
fallen into a heavy, dreamless sleep.
She was still sleeping when her
mother quietly opened the door and
came in. The huddled figure on
the bed startled her; there was some
thing in Nancy's very attitude that
suggested misery and apprehensions
Mrs. Gordon came hurriedly across
the room and touched her flushed
cheek and her hot forehead. She
had the skillful mother hands and
She knew the feel of fever.
Nancy started up on on her ell
bow. What is it, Mama?" she
|cried feverishly.
Her mother shook her head.
Nothing at all now dear. Papa
went out to the bank for awhile, he
had to do something. He wanted
TO come up here and see you but
stopped him. DON'T you think you
Ought to tell him-about the money
you borrowed, Nancy?"
Nancy, sitting on the side of hct
bed now, slipped her arms about her
mothers neck, laying her check
against hers.
"I'll tell him-I'll tell you both
next week| promised that. Oh,
Mama, don't ask mel was so glad
20 get it for Roddy."
Mrs. Gordon drew a long
breath, a sob in her throat; her face
puckered and quivered with tears
like a child's.
"Oh, Nancy!" she sobbed.
They clasped each other weeping.
They held each other for a long
line and then Mrs. Gordon felt the
girls hot cheek. She drew back
|'ooking at her.

tiers bed, holding her hand.
They did not talk much. The
older woman was thinking of her
son; the girl, of tomorrow. But
after a while they heard the front
door open and Mrs. Gordon rose
hurriedly.
"There's Papa; I'll go get his din
ner for him. l hope he al eat!
You needn't come down, child. if
YOUR head still aches"
Nancy let her go; her head did
not ache so badly now, but she was
glad to escape her fathers ques-
tons.
She had work to do. She packed
a handbag with a few things she
would need and she hurried, tunb-
ling things over. Her ward. che
was small enough; she had not
much choice, bur she selected the
simplest things she had, a dark
blue serge and a plain hat.
The moon had risen splendldly
and across the window was stretch
ed the long branch of the pine
etched block against the silver sky
1t was very still in the house
Nancy knew her father and mother
had finished dinner. They were
sitting in the library now, on the
other side of the house. She could
not ever hear their voices, but the
pine tree swinging a little, tapped
on her windowsill. Then she heard
another sound, soft and sweet but
penetrating, the fast notes OF a
love-sone strummed on a guitar.
Page! The girl trembled like a Leaf
he had come, of course, with his
guitar.
Nancy stumbld to her window
and looked down. The moonlight
made the old garden like day. Be
