 A long silence followed and Mo- Dougall was uncomfortably wonder ing whether he could be chased as an eavesdropper when Helen Wads dell reappeared with two glasses in her hands and joined him on the sofa. Apparently they were not heard by those in the next room, for the woman spoke again. T just wonder" she said, "why Mir. Waddell'S here. Has he some- thing new to tell Marcia, do you suppose"
 Helen's sudden irnmobility seized McDougall's attention as surely as if she had grasped his arm without warning. He found blazing anger in her eyes.

CHAPTER XIV

Marcia found McDougall and John Waddell in the billiard room. She had been looking for McDou- gall ever since the last guest had arrived, hoping to have a moment alone with him, to thank him per- sonally for what he had done on the night of the accident--an acknow- iedgenent she had not yet succeed ed in delivering.
 Ss The two men had the small billiard room to themselves. The clusters O. guests in the other rooms were still occupied in ex- tending their congratulations to Dorothy Osborn, and with the small talk which forms the great est entertainment for gatherings of the sort. Marcia stood in the doorway watching the players for q moment or two before they were aware of her. McDougall was attempting a difficult shot and Waddell was watching intently. Mutfing 1t. McDougall stood back, and saw Marcia.

 "With perfectly nice hostess present. all to ourselves?" he laughed. No. ma am; the game can wait, can't 1t, McDougall?"

 The familiar McDougall blush had returned to the object of con- versation, but his embarrassment over the apparent necessity for saying either Don't mention it. or You're quite welcome" was relieved by the arrival of Joan.

 Among other speakers was Mrs. George Cowperthwait, Girl Scout commissioner who informed the group that the drive is for $8,600, the same quota which incidentally was successfully reached last year.

|New Non-P Partisan Organization | Called Political Scarecro1Us "

William Cambigue and other loca French Americans who recently an nounced the formation of "non- partisan" political organization are labelled political scarescrows" in g statement issued today by William G. Doucette, president of the French Democratic Club. He hits at the fact that MT. Cambigue, despite his es- pousal of the none-partisan cause, is a member of the Republican town committee.
 If the members of the secret com mittee of IS were sincere in tftsil beliefs, says MT. Doucette, they would not shrink from revealing their identities. He declares that the term political termites," used by MT. Cambigue, is boomerang, and should rightly be directed against the members of the secret commit tee.
 MT. Doucette's statement follows:
 A new non-partisan organiza- ton is forming among the French-American citizens of Wa terbury according to an an- nouncement in the Waterbury Republican of Friday, October 22, 1897.
 Waterbury is being treated to a strange phenomenon of so- called Non Partisan Group headed by a member of the Republican town committee and French Re- publican club and a mysterious secret committee. The Water bury Democrat of Thursday, Oc- tober 21, 1887, informs us that there are fifteen French -Ameri- cans on this committee. This group ought rightly to be called "The Fifteen Mystery Men" and take as their initials: G. o. F., that is to mean: Gone Out of Politics. Waterbury in all its years of turbulent politics has sel- dom seen such number of po- litical "scarecrows" who foam at the mouth at reputed injustices and hide their faces lest they be discovered.
 It is worthy of note that this group not only arrogates to itself the title of "non-partisan" but is deeply shroudded in the darkest . secrecy as far as all its members are concerned. Only one man comes forth to state the aim of this newly formed association, acting as a quilt" to cover up the other names as tightly as possible. This IS indeed 8 strange phenom- enon. For anyone who reads the newspapers knows that there have been many bipartisan leagues formed in other cities. But when the names of these groups ap- peared in print, there was also found a list of the names of the members sponsoring these associ- ations. Their names and prestige gave them value and showed that they were commendable in many
 instances to the electorate. These men had the courage of their con- victions, they did not hide behind the skirt" of a man prominently identified with a major political party. These individuals were so sincere, honest, candid in their intentions that they were not afraid of making themselves known. One could only admire them, even though he disagreed with their ideas.
 Again, one asks who are these
