cept for the unuttered belief on the
part of all the contenders that the
nominee, in all probability, was be-
ing put UP only to be knocked over.
Not that there has been no fight
ing, but it has lacked an air of sin
cerity.
Governor Landon, indeed, evidently
actually sent his following to Cleve-
land with an honest-to-goodness de-
sire to be named for first place on
the Republican ticket, but less in the
expectation Il have this in strict con-
fidence from one of his chief supper
ters) of being elected this time than
Of placing himself in a position to
claim the nomination again four years
hence, when G. o. p. chances may be
brighter.
And know for a fact that, weeks
ago. friends of Senator Arthur H.
Vandenberg were advising him to side
step the 1896 nomination and await
1910.
The Landonites reckoned that
1886 defeat, if by narrow margin,
would be 1910 asset. The Vanden-
bergites regarded a defeat as poor ad-
vertising for the future. There are ar
guments on both sides. However, it's
obvious that nomination to take an
anticipated licking, whatever it's ulti-
mate reward is not of a nature to stir
up any very bitter rivalry between
opposing aspirants for it.
A SHARP TONGUE
Colonel Frank Knox's organization
has fought quite convincingly, but
most of the mean things which have
been said concerning the colonel's
various oppositions nave been said,
rot by the colonel himself, but by his
manager, ex-senator George H. Moses

gave him an opportunity to express
himself
But it never has appeared that the
colonel personally would feel his life
blighted if beaten for a nomination or
beaten on election day.

again and lay back as quickly. The

quite as much as before because her
heart glowed with such happiness.

CHAPTER IS

JOAN WAS having a pleasant
dream. following her rescue of Sheila.
In which she found herself riding on
a freight car through a field of
daisies 1t was pleasant up to a
certain point and then the train be-
gan to jog and strangely enough the
top of her head was getting the
worst Of It.
Then it all got pretty confused and
noisy and ineligible sounds emerged
from the din. They were voices. low
but agitated. and they were talking
about Joan. They were calling to
her and she tried to open her eyes
but the movement of her eyelids was
painful and she closed them again.
Suddenly the waves parted and
Joan had an idea Of what had hap
pened. However, since she was per-
fectly comfortable save for the ham
mer blows raining on her head, she
thought it all over leisurely. She re-
memberec giving the protesting
Sheila a shove that landed her on
the shore. She remembered trying
to hoist herself after the other girl,
and that was all.
"She's breathing easier :"
"Why doesn't that doctor arrive?"
Here's Tommy. Did you bring
the brandy, Tom?"
Lift her up. Julian"
Joan heard all that, felt strong
arms around her, felt the burning
Nquid at her lips and opened them.
She opened her eyes the merest bit
and saw that it was Julian's chest
that pillowed her head and promptly
closed them.
She was really enjoying herself
but 1t couldn't go on forever.
She opened her eyes again. "I'm
an right" she said and tried to re-
member how one went about finding
ones feet, or having found them,
organize the rest Of oneself to stand
up.
1t was done it seemed with the
help Of strong arm, Julian's.
Don't try to walk, Joan. Well
carry you. Give me a hand. Tommy
Alex has gone for the car and we
haven't far to walk to the road"
I'm really all right. I can walk. :"
Joan was trying to find her balance
''Of course, she's all right but I'm
catching pneumonia" Sheila's voice,
cold and furious, drew Joan's eyes,
Sheila was wrapped in mans coat

to her head. The chiffon frock chung

meant four cars and the station

she'd ordered those. The party
would spend the afternoon there and
return by six. Sherman Jones was
giving a cocktail party, at his place
two miles away, for Julian's guests.
That meant they would not return
until at least nine. Joan had relieved
Mrs. Henderson Of the task of plan
ming meals and there were many de-
tails to be arranged.
Joan rode In the station wagon
with Williams and was jolly glad to
do it for the only other seat was in
Julian's roadster where Sheila, map
propriately but decoratively gowned
in printed chiffon. had already en-
sconced herself.

sandals. Bring along any golf
togs?"
Il should say not!" Sheila snug
gled down deeper in her wicker chair.
Il think golf is simply barbarous."
"It's all right with me if you can
find any way to keep from being
bored Well be out a couple of
hours"
II won't be bored. Pierre"-Sheila
cast a lingering glance toward the
Frenchman-"is going to take me out
in a punt"
Nov isn't that cute? And where
Is he going to find one?" Tommy
asked
Julian intercepted Sheila's next
remark. II think Sheila is quite
wise. She means she is going out on
the lake. Come along. Pierre, I'll ar
range for you to get a canoe at the
boathouse."
Never mind. julian. I know where
the boathouse Is" It was amazing
how quickly Sheila could move
without seeming to hurry. Joan was
beginning to appreciate the art that
had placed Sheila True at the top
OF Broadway's list Of favorite
actresses. She never did anything
obviously. Even now when it was
apparent that she did not want
Julian-that she wanted to be alone
with Pierre. She did 1t so gracefully

Julian did not seem to suspect he was
not wanted.
Joan was both happy and angry
at that. She hated Sheila for being
unkind to Julian and for flirting with
Pierre. She turned away and in
spected her clubs.

With her golf club she beat the

clearing with a view of the lake di-

Sheila but the actress kept slipping
away from her, fighting her off.
