eye caught glimpse of Harry's pic
ture on her bureau. Harry her hus-
band, who had tried SO hard to make
her happy in this country town. How
little he knew how completely he was
failing. Muriel was city bred She
couldn't stand the awful stiffness, the
gossiping women, the small town at
mosphere.
No, not even Harry, who was forever
hoping that his business would pros
per so he could take her away. Harry,
kind, thoughtful, unselish-not even
Harry could stop her now. She was
going! Quitting for good
At the front door she paused Har-
ry would be late tonight He'd be
looking forward to hot dinner and
quiet evening at home. Another of
those quiet evenings! The thought
sent her speeding down the walk She
couldn't stand it. -. g..
Gripping her bag tightly, Muriel
detoured around Main Street so as
to avoid meeting any one she knew,
and came to the tiny railroad sta
ton by way of a back alley. The
2:30 was just whistling for the first
grade crossing. No time to buy
ticket. No time to reconsider. No
time to think of Harry
Trembling, she stood by the door
to the baggage room, trying to ap-
pear as inconspicuous as possible.
COON she was on the train, nestled
in the rear seat of stuffy day
coach. The last outlying farms of
the little country town that had been
her home for the past two years
were sliding past. And with them, she
realized with a curious little pang
went happy memories, memories that
even now were like a vague dream
yet sweet dream.
Time to think now. Time to think
OF Harry. Time to recall how hap
py they'd been. Time to picture
Harry's late arrival at home Time
to visualize his disappointment at
not finding her there. Time to Won

was a reaction to her sudden impulse
Yet there was the lump still in her
throat. There was that awful empty
feeling in her stomach.
Too late to turn back now. Har-
ry would have reached home, would
have found she'd deserted, quit,
couldn't make the grade. She was
a gutter Shed have to face the
future alone
The train came to jolting stop.
She was descending to the plat
form, moving toward the gates, be-
ing jostled by hundreds of people.
The city at last! The noise! The
hustle and hustle! Folks greeting
each other! Everybody happy!
MURIEL suddenly discovered her
sight had become blurred. Tears.
Tears of remorse Shed have to
face it. q.
Some one had her by the shoul-
ders. Some one yelling in her ear
"Lo, honey girl Got my wire did
you? Say, you must have hurried
to make the 230. I was afraid
you'd miss it."
Harry's smile beaming down on
her Harry's big chest to lay her
head on and cry softly. Harry's
voice comforting her.
Say, this is no time cry We're
going to celebrate by picking out an
apartment right here in the city.
Then III take you down and let
you see our new Office. We're open
ing up a branch here in town.
Poor kid, you must have been ter
ribly unhappy the past two years.
Well, it's all over now, honey. You
were good and brave. I'm proud
of you!"
Tears. Tears of JOY. Tears of
shame. She gulped and looked
bravely into his face.
Harry. darling. You'll think me
foolish-but can't we continue to
live on out in the country? We
were so happy there?"

Interest Taken
In Brawley City
Council Contest

BRAWLEY. Feb. 16-With the
terms of two members of the
BraWley city council expiring soon,
a premature interest is being TAX
en- in the oncoming city elections,
as DR.. I. j. Wells has definitely
decided not to run for reelection
and Frank Kretz, the other expir-
ing member is still undecided.
Rumors to the effect that Geo.
f. Krueger, prominent busineSs-
man, would run were blasted when
Krueger emphatically denied any
such intentions Yesterday
Warning that Mar. 3 is the last
day for registration for the city
election April II was issued by
City Clerk o. May Juvenal.. She
advised that those who have
changed their place of residence or
have not yet registered as yet do
so before that date.

our national defense was 'inade
quate for purposes of national Sc
curity," and added;
1--WE cannot assume that our de
fense would be limited to one ocean
and one coast and that the other
ocean and other coast would with
certainty be safe. Adequate defense
affects therefore the simultaneous
defense of every part of the United
States"
Chairman Carl Vinson of the
house committee has written into
the new naval bill declaration of
policy along those lines-that the.
United States will maintain navy
to protect "the coastline in both
oceans at the same time; to protect
the Panama Canal, Hawaii and our
insular possessions"
These views constitute formal
declaration of American policy
which the record indicates Admiral
Leahy does not believe the navy Is
large enough to maintain. Further
more, the navy is not physically
disposed to protect beth coasts sim
ultaneously. Since March %, 1892,
the United States fleet has been
stationed in the Pacific. Prior .
that time the ships of the scouting
force had been stationed in the
Atlantic and the battle force in
Pacific waters. The fleet was COM
bined after Japan invaded Man

American fleet since 1882 may in
some degree explain insistent repe-
tition of charges that the United
States and Great Britain have es-
tablished naval understanding for
guidance in emergencies.
Admiral William d. Leahy, chief
of naval operations, testified before
the house naval affairs committee
that for complete and adequate"
protection of both coasts the Unit
ed States would need a navy at
least twice as large as that contem-
plated under the new $500, 100000
program. That expenditure will in
crease the navy by approximately
20 per cent.
Mr. Roosevelt is not planning to
double the navy but he is talking
of naval defense IN terms of both
coasts in addition to the Panama
Canal and the outlying possessions.
He reiterated that policy yesterday.

gram to congress the president said

with anyone on earth-then
something must be wrong
with you. Your chief fault is
that you are over-sensitive
