CHAPTER XVII

Marian worked furiously, running
through ledger pages, sorting finan-
cial data. Gradually she regained
composure. Early in May was so far
away, so much a part of the distant
future, that it could be ignored. The
thing to do was to forget what DR..
Moss had said, to live each day and
let May answer its own riddles.
Working on chart, she men,
tally laid the first brick in a wall
behind which she would keep her
secret, behind which even she
would never look. The wall was
to be made up of such capable
endeavor that Mr.. Fellows would
look upon her as an absolute ne
eessity to the office. She would
work for a new understanding
with Dan, take more interest in
outside things, parties, lectures,
picture shows-she'd start tomor-
row night by going to dinner with
Dolly and Randy.
There was to be no more irrita-
bility. A cheerful, happy manner
would make her feel cheerful and
happy. Some day she would go
to DR.. Moss, she would laugh and
say, You were mistaken"
The more she thought about it.,
the more certain she became. She
relaxed in the belief that the kind
fates would clear the muddle if
she but let them do 1t.

he can sing them, in that pleasant

Nominated for President
 Third Successive Time

FORMER district attorney,
 mayor of Buffalo, governor of New York state, Stephen Grover Cleveland loomed large in the eyes of the Democratic National con- vention of 1884. For g years the Democratic party had been out of power in national affairs and Cleveland appeared to be just the man to put it back. He was.
 Weakened by defection of a large group of independents. the "Mugwumps," the Republicans gave ground in. the election and Cleveland was victorious, but only after one of the bitterest cam- paigns in American history. He defeated James C. Blaine of Maine.
 Cleveland's first term was un- eventful but marked by extensive use of the veto power and civil service reform. Tn 1888 the Dem ocrats renominated Cleveland but he was defeated by Benjamin Harrison of Indiana. The cam paign turned on the tariff issue.
 By 1892 again. however, the tide had turned once more and Cleveland was nominated for the presidency for the third successive time. This time he defeated Har- rison. And promptly he set about to repeal the silver legislation which had put 100000 of fiat" money into circulation. He was successful but in the struggle he alienated a great section of his party. At the same time he was faced with the great Pullman strike in Chicago where he finally called out the federal troups to restore order
 Cleveland retired into private life in 1897 after a strife-torn sec ond term. He is shown on stamp of the new U. s. regular series, enlarged.

There had been nothing for Corey to do but to follow Sally. Corey never refused a dare, which was practically what Sally'S remark "You're not afraid to go, are you?' had meant.
 If Dan was surprised when they approached him, he did not betray it. His color, underneath the smooth deep tan, might have deep- ened a bit, but his gray eyes were grave and steady.
 We came to congratulate you on winning" Sally said. holding out her hand. How are you, Dan?" There was no need to ask, this was the Dan of old, sturdy and strong as the mountains he set out to conquer.
 I'm very well, thank you," he returned. taking her hand. but only for a brief moment. And how are you, Sally?" he added, though there seemed no need to ask that, either. Sally's dark eyes had never been brighter, she had never looked more lovely.
 Was that all he had to say to her? Sally wondered. Didn't he know what just seeing him did to her? Wasn't his heart hammer ing painfully, too?
 I'm fine" Sally said. "Never better, thank you" She tossed her dark curls. He must see how gay she was, how right her world "Well, you've got what you want ed - at last, she said. You've made the Olympics this time, Dan"
 T guess that's right" Dan said. His glance went to her left hand She had taken of her heavy nit tens, on her third finger Corey's diamond sparkled in the bright sun. T see you've got what you wanted, too.' Dan added.

 T wish you both all the hap piness in the world" Dan re- turned.
 Which world do you mean? Sally wanted to ask. Mine, or yours, Dan? But she knew the answer to that question. She knew now that Dan would never come back. He had not belonged in her world. He had been right in going away.
 She knew the answer to a lot of other questions too. This meeting, instead of convincing her that she could put Dan out of her heart, had shown her that she still be Ieved in him, whether he ever believed in her again or not, that 1she could never forget him.

WORE PROTESTS WILL COME

BY July /, therefore, the relief
jigsaw had fewer blank spaces. The
President was ready to lop 1,000.
300 persons off his estimates Of
he average number Of relief work
ers that should be cared for in
fiscal 1910.
He was ready to have the WPA
administrator recommend a month
y wage basis for skilled WPA
workers. This formula simply means
more hours of work at about the
anne old pay. Presumably it gives
workers less idle time and keeps
them from competing with outside
workers for odd jobs.
That formula affected the or
ganized fringe of WPA workers.
They protested through organized
abor on the ground that the gov
ernment was driving down PER
HOUR wage scales About 100000
struck. They brought to the pub
lies attention their own dilemma
but they also brought into the open
the issue of whether labor can bar
gain with taxpayers. They found
out that haggling with government
is tough going.
Now comes the formula of Con-
gress to prevent relief workers from
taking their jobs for granted It's
now the law that 650,000 relief
workers who've been on the job for
10 months must be discharged by
September l. Three hundred thou
sand go in July, $4,000 in August
More protests and more head
lines will follow
And there's still another hurdle
WPA is going to put in simplifiec
wage scales Pay will be based or
the cost of living-not on prevail
ing wage scales in the various sec
tons of the country That will
mean more protests, more head
lines.
It's hard work whiting out g
yardstick for relief Nothing ever
seems to come out even.
