But this is to be a very special party, and I want to have a hand in all the finishing touches. I'm very particular about parties. I never leave everything to my boy.

"For a person so young In years you have the most smiazing sense of comprehension. You’re one of the few people 1 ever talk to about anything— and I’ve known you just this short time. WVre always going to be friends, aren’t we? You stimulate me tremendously. I feel so at home with you. It’s almost as though Td known you for years. You know, after you’ve met as many people as 1 have, you get to the point where most of them bore you. Then yon begin to look for people who can diare your interests and your leeltuf , and to whom you can talk.

You know I havo a hunting lodge up in the hills—O, Just an hour's ride away from town. It’s Ideal for any ind of a party. You can make all the noL^e you want, and no one « ver di turbs you. There's no one _ "d but the keeper and his wife, and .hey're both a little deaf. Now, 1 If you don't want to have the party In town, we can go up there.

CHAPTER V Myra came up the stairs slowly, wearily, and unlocked the door of the apartment. The lights were all on. Helene must be home. Probably dressing to go out with Ralph. "Hello,’’ Myra called out. "Hello. That you, Myra?" Helene's voice came from the bedroom, and then her figure emerged, half-dressed, pink silk things gleaming in the light. “I'm just dressing.” She flew back and forth, dabbing rouge on her cheeks, and then timing It over with powder, and then rubbing It all out with cold cream, and starting all over again. “Go ahead.” Myra took off her hat and gloves and hung them In the closet. "Aren't you going out tonight, S!:;?” Helene railed over her shoulder, fitting in front of her minor. “No Leonard’s been called out of ti si) I think I’ll spend an evc.i.. , doing a little bit of nothing.’’ "O! Too bad." "I don’t know. I’m tired, anyhow. I can't keep up your pace, you know. This flaming youth sort of thing doesn't suit me. I must be getting eld.” Myra fttood In the doorway and watch/U this vivacious sister of hers **i«alng about in her usual freuzled manner. "Don’t be silly,” Helene smiled. "You work too hard at that office— that’s all that's the matter with you." “Where are you going?” "O, I don’t know. Wherever my fancy takes me,” Helene evaded. Myra smiled, and moved listlessly buck Into the living room. She walked over to the table and began picking up Helene's hat and bog. As she moved them, a letter stared up at her. opened, lying face up. The handwriting was familiar. Without thinking she picked up the piece of white paper, and then she raised her head, startled. She read the letter again, this time with an intense Interest. “My dear little Helene." Yes. those were the words, sho told herself. “This la Just to tell you that everything Is ready and waiting. The car will call for you at eight, and you will come right ou to the Lodge. I shall be waiting. Most expectantly yours—Huntley.” Most expectantly yours, Huntley. Myra repeated the Hue to herself. Huntley Sheldon, of course. There was his stationery, and the address of his hunting lodge, so called, Myra reflected, "Seven Oaks,’’ printed at the top. Hunting lodge! That was a splendid name for It. Hunting, indeed. It was, but not the kind specified by the dictionary. So, that was what Helene was up to. Myra steadied herself against the table. For a moment she felt a little sick, but feeling quickly passed, and sho^ured the letter on the table where she had found It. She walked to the bedroom door, and looked In. There was Helene, still sitting before her dressing table, her newest evening gown spread out on the bed. “Helene!" At the sound of Myra's rolci, cold, hard, relentless, the girl turned quickly. “Why—what’s the matter, Myra7’ She tried to be casual, but she sense" disturbance In the ulr. “You are not going out wlifl Huntley Bheidon toulght." •--"v It cwAiiKMsd.2

TRACTIVE TO THE REPUBLICAN RANK AND FILE—ONE ALLEGES HE IS INEUGIBLE
By George R. Holmes
I. N. S. Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.—Herbert Hoover is learning the price one pays for being the leading Republican can-
didate for the presidency.
Two “whispering campaigns,” both designed to make his record unattractive to the Republican rank and file,
have been started in
against the Cabinet aspirant—and the campaign was barely begun. The first, to the effect he is ineliI gible for the Presidency on Constftu- ! tional grounds because of his nonresidence in the United States during much of the last fourteen years has j been effectively squelched by ConstiI tutlonalists and by personal friends, i They denied that Hoover ev er applied for British citizenship, as whispered about and claimed that he always maintained a legal residence in Calif ornia while absent from the coun-
try.
The second, which made its appeal ance mysteriously this week has not i been so easily knocked down, and | while his friends minimize its im-1 portanee they nevertheless are engaged in strenuous efforts today to
discover its origin.
It consists of a circular letter headed “Hoover Favored Democratic Congress in 1918,” and Incorporates a letter which Hoover wrote to Frederic R. Coudert, of New York on Nov. 2. 1918, and which the Democrats promptly utilized as a campaign doc-
ument.

I,et Remus tell it in his own words: “It was in September, 1921.

President Wilson had issued his illstarred appeal to the country to return a Democratic Congress. Hoover was then food administrator in the
Wilson administration.
“My own views are summarized in a word; that we must have united support for the President,” Hoover wrote Coudert. “I am for President Wilson's leadership, not only in the conduct of the war, but also in negotiations of peace and afterward in the direction of America's burden In the rehabilitation ol the world. This letter is now being circulated industriously and anonymously by Hoover's opponents. Every Republican member of Congress has received one. and it is understood thousands of others have been sent throughout the country to dyed in the wool R n - publlcans. There are no distinguishing marks on the letter to show the origin. The letters have been mimeographed and mailed In plain envel-
opes.
Hoover’s friends claim that the “Whispering Campaign” are an indication of desperation on the part of his opponents. Not being able to head him off any other way. they say indignantly the opposition has resorted to "anonymous circulars” and "malicious whisperings” in an effort to turn public sentiment. If Hoover were not formidable they argue, it would be unnecessary for the opposl tion to adopt such tactics. Nevertheless, while the implied compliment to Hoover’s strength is appreciated, his friends are exceedingly irritated over
the matter.
It is reported that the next move in the Anti-Hoover camp will be th» I circulation of Demociatic editorials printed in 1920 In which urged that

and I was selling it for between $82.50 and $87.50 a case. “This particular occasion, I got up in the dead of the night and with my co-workers went to Edgewater Distillery at Lawrenceburg. At 3:30 a. in we loaded up seventeen trucks—armored trucks by the way. “Each truck was equipped with guns that protruded from portholes. Hi-jacking had reached the stage where we had to protect our liquor like the government guards its bul-1 lion leaving the mint. “I rode the first of the seventeen 1 trucks. Sitting next to me was Cliff Emmick. Everything went all right! as we moved over the country road, like the prairie schooners in the days! of the ’49-ers, unlil we neared Cin-

“There eight men lead by ‘Scar’ Hermann, leaped out of thc night and
on to my truck.
“Pulling guns, 1 hey shouted: ‘Give up that liquor!’ They struck a half dozen guns In my ribs. ‘“Pull your triggers; shoot, you! cowards and if you do you’ll never live to tell the tale’ ” I shouted. "They didn’t know what to do for a few seconds. In the excitement Emmick jumped off the truck and disappeared. I grappled with the hi-jack-ers and they slugged me on the head with the butt of one of the guns. 1
fell to the roadside.
“They lost their nerve, however, and fled. Later they said: Remus has more guts than twenty men and he deserves to keep his liquor.’ I found out who this gang was and saved myself a lot of future trouble by hiring

THE SEARCH FOR AN HONEST NAN
If Diogenes were looking for an honest man today, instead of going about the streets with a lighted lantern, he would go to the RETAIL CREDIT ASSOCIATION and get a select list of those whose Credit Ratings show they pay their bills promptly.

The careless person does not intend to be dishonest. but it is difficult for your Retail Merchant to make the distinction. He only knows he is not being paid for values he has given.
