He had lowered his paper,
and was staring straight ahead
across the lake from his big chair on
the porch.
She stood behind him, frowning.
Are you that sure of me. Frank?"
she said. I
I'm that sure of realities. You
can keep dream alive for five years
only because it is dream. It's that
long since you've seen Bruce. He
was glamorous, interesting young
artist then. You thought you were
in love ="
I'VE were, Frank. Ifit hadn't been

He nodded gravely. We'll say,
then, that you were in love. But not
seeing him, you've idealized him.
You're only in love with the men,
ory of him now - and memory can
play shabby tricks. So I'd rather
you'd meet him. I'll lay my bet on \
reality. If l win, you'll be happier
with me. And if l lose - we'll, it's
your life. Peg"
She smiled down at him. He was
a thick-set man of thirty, perpetu-
ally calm and logical and wise. Fora
woman who sought security, there
was no better husband. He was the
most dependable of men. She had
married him for security, after the
broken bits of her inspired romance
had crashed at her feet. knowing
the truth, and content with it, he
had accepted her He was the kind
who did not ask too much of life.
You're being terribly decent

Du1uthian Tells
Labor 1t Must
Play Ball

Duluth Minn.-Joseph Albright,
speaking before a mass meeting Of
Roosevelt Garner clubs Of Duluth,
electrified large throng Of white
people last Thursday night with
the assertion that "the Negro vote
is willing to join hands with white
labor if white labor will play ball. I"
The recent appointee to the Ma
tional Speakers Bureau Of the
Democratic party, speaking before
a Duluth audience for the first
time since his appointment, was
given a tremendous ovation.
Speaking with his characteristic
fiery manner, Albright told the
packed assembly Roosevelt has
blazed the trail for unity of labor,
By his every move he has evidenced
a program calculated to benefit
every citizen regardless of race and
color. The Negro, recognizing the
justice Of that program, is at this
moment pledged by an overwhelm-
ing majority to the support Of the
Presidents action. It is now up to
white labor to see that these ideals
are carried out. AS long, and only
as long, as this is done will the
Negro electorate help wage the
fight. Oblivion awaits labor II
America If this unity is not main
tanned. We shall have none but
ourselves to thank If our indif
ference to the common welfare i!
allowed to nullify the humanitarian
efforts Of this economic emancipa
