CHAPTER EIGHT.

The living room was dark and still
as Elaine stepped into the apart
ment. The shades on all three win
downs had been drawn as she
fumbled along the Wall for a light
button she could hear heavy breath
Ing coming from the direction of the
couch. She wondered why Jane had
chosen to go to sleep there instead
OF in the bedroom, and then, think
ing she had fallen asleep while
awaiting her return, a smile quirked
the corners of her lips. Apparently
Jane took her duties as a roommate
very seriously.
Her cropping fingers failed in their
quest for the light button. Remem-
bering there was a lamp standing
close to the piano. she walked over
toward 1t. In the dark room she
failed to see the chair that obstruct-
ed her path and before she was
aware of her danger she bumped
heavily into it and fell with a thud
to the floor. The impact brought a
cry from her lips Before she could
reassemble her scattered wits click
sounded behind her and the room
was suddenly filed with soft light
"Elane!" startled masculine voice
exclaimed from the couch.
She looked quickly around and as
she discovered the identity of the
man who was rushing at her assist
ance, her eyes grew round with sur
prise. Too incredulous to speak, she
could only sit there, conscious of
dull pounding of her heart, conscious
OF love and anger warning within
her trembling body.
Eric Explains.
"Eric!" she cried, finally finding
her voice. What are you doing
here?"
Are you all right?" he asked anx-
iously, helping her to her feet.
Elaine nodded her head, trying to
guess the reason for his presence
and then, noting he still held her in
his arms, she drew herself free,
cheeks coloring.
"You haven't answered my ques-
tion," he reminded, walking across
the room and seating herself on the
couch. why are you here?"
He ran his hand nervously through
his disheveled hair as he sat down
beside her. II suppose I did have a
nerve coming here like this. If
mother knew about it she would be
furious. I'm supposed to be In
Canada on sort of business trip
Aunt Ella gave me your address be-
fore left. decided to take a chance
on your being here and came on over.
Your roommate told me she didn't
know when you would be back She
had to go out, but was kind enough
to let me sit here and wait for you"
His voice became husky with emo
ton. Il still love you, Elaine!"
Had he uttered those words two
weeks ago Elaine knew she would
instantly have been transported to
the seventh heaven of delight, but
recalling the callous manner in
which she had been discarded, she
laughed scornfully.
you have a strange way of prov
ing your love, Eric"
He sighed. II guess I deserved
that, Elaine, I acted like a cad"
Elaine's Anger Rises.
$50 what?" Elaine's eyes blazed as
all the anger and hurt she had
somehow manged to suppress during
the last few weeks rose to her milling
brain.
''You love me, yes; but you love
your mother and money more. Oh,
I don't blame you, Eric. Had you
married me you would have lost
everything. But you and your
mother could at least have taken
the trouble to find out if I really
was drunk that night. The Rear
dons can't condemn a person with

The Political Mill
Campaign Tactics Making Voters Conscious Of
Hyphenuted Americans in the MELTING Pot

Of all nationalities in this country
who have cause to feel strongly
against Hitler since he overran
the countries Of their fathers-the
Poles, the Scandinavians, the
Czechs, the French, the Dutch, the
Belgians-and especially the Jews,
who have cause to hate Hitler for
his treatment Of their race. While
they have been doing this, they
have aroused the great voting
groups of German-Americans and
Italian-Americans, who love neither
Hitler nor Mussolini, but who new
ertheless realize the position In
which they will find themselves If
this country enters the war. The
German-Americans have not for.
gotten the manner in which they
were treated during the last World
War, when they were ostracized,
looked upon with suspicion. They
do not view with anticipatory pleas
ure the United States again at war
with Germany.
Not Used in 1916 Campaign.
The New Dealers, having aroused
class against class in this country
with talk of economic royalists and
the like, have now come round to
arousing racial and national groups
against each other. In 1916, Wood
row Wilson ran on the Democratic
ticket for reelection as President
on the slogan He Kept Us Out of
War" He won very largely on that
slogan. 1t was not the kind of issue
which now divides the voters OF
America. and when the war came,
all Americans Joined wholehearted-
ly. No one had charged that Kaiser
Wilhelm had a candidate for Presi-
dent Of the United States in the
person Of Woodrow Wilson, or that
the British and the French wanted
Charles Evans Hughes.
In the cause of expediency, the
politicians of today are thinking up
slogans that are really dividing the
American people. The worst so far
to date is the label Of German"
which the New Dealers have at
tempted to tie to the Republican
presidential nominee That may
help Mr.. Roosevelt in some parts of
the country, but it will not help so
much in the great States of the Mid
die West. 1t looks as though he has
asked for the opposition of the great
majority of the German American
voter And that he will get it. They
resent bitterly tho sucpection thot
man in whose veins flows blood
similar to their own is untitled to be
President.
See Diplomatic Defeat.
The people in that section of the
country are asking more and more,
too, why Mr.. Roosevelt should be
reelected when, in their opinion. he
has lost every diplomatic battle in
which he has engaged. That Is no
recommendation for ability to han
try.
When, more than a year ago. Ger
many made its astounding pact with
the Russian Soviet government, 1t
was hailed as great diplomatic vic
tory for Hitler If ii was a victory
for Hitler. 1t was a defeat for the
British and the French and for Mr..
Roosevelt, who was defending the
European democracies in every way
possible. Recently. Germany and
Italy made military pact with ia
pan. a direct diplomatic defeat for
Mr. Roosevelt

From the out G. Gould Lincoln.
set of the campaign the New Dealers
have sought to make the war situa-
ton abroad the dominate issue,
brushing aside truly domestic issues
as comparatively unimportant. Then
came the drive of the New Dealers
to make it appear that President
Roosevelt is really running against
Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini-
not against a Republican and an
American by the name of Willkie.
And more recently the New Dealers
have gone the. final step Of label
ing, or seeking to label. Mr.. Willkie
as German, because his ancestry
was German.
This has tended to arouse pas
sion, to set group against group
in an America which has been
held up to the world as the melting
pot of all nationalities. The tend
ency has grown more and more to
speak of American citizen groups as
Germans, Italians, Poles, Scandi-
navians, Jews and on down the
line. 1t is an unhealthy condition
for the United States and for the
unity of the American people, at
a time when absolute unity is needed
to prepare defenses Of this country
against any attack that may come.
Tactics of Both Parties.
Both sides are guilty. The Re-
publicans sought to make Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt an apostle Of inter-
vention, an ally of England, intent
upon taking this country into war.
The New Dealers sought to picture
the Republican party and Mr.. Will
kie as the party and candidate OF
the "Appeasers,' those who would
stand for peace at any price and
would make concessions to the
totalitarian governments. 1t was to
war and peace passions of the peo-
pie the appeals were made.
The Republicans apparently have
firmly believed Mr.. Roosevelt has
from the beginning planned to
bring matters to such a pass that
this country would throw in its lot
with the British-even to the ex-
tent Of going to war. They have
called upon the voters to turn
away from a man who was leading
them to war.
The Democrats. on the other
hand. haye undertaken to capitalize
on the sympathy Of Americans for
the British and the French in their
battle against Hitler and Mussolini.

queens taste.
