MEMBERS OF AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS. u . „ ( Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis. G. Logan Payne Cos. Advertising offices j Xew f ork Boston, Payne, Burns A Smith, Inc. THEY are treating tail drivers with scant respect in Indianapolis these dayß! IN THE MATTER of that merger of electric companies the “people' appears to have found some new “champions” most unexpectedly. OPPOSITION to a special tax levy for school buildings from the same source, now throws additional light on why bond issues for school buildings were opposed. SENATOR WALSH has offered congressional aid in unemployment conference, says news dispatch. Some people believe if Congress would do its duty there wouldn t be need of an unemployment conference. HAVING FAILED in their efforts to “frame” Judge Walter Pritchard and failed in their efforts to saddle Judge Collins’ failures on him, certain politicians are now engaging in their third failure to bulldoze the court! THE COURTS are to decide whether the board of works has the right to order street improvements regardless of the wishes of the property owners who pay the bills. Common sense indicates that the payees ought at least to be heard! The Amendments The proposed amendments to the constitution of Indiana which are to be voted on Sept 6 call for the Individual expression of each voter of the State. The election constitutes a referendum of which, in theory at least, the object is to obtain the unbiased judgment of the citizens of the State as to the advisability of certain specific changes in the basic law that governs them. Confusion of the issues, coercion of voters, or the exercise of any undue influence that might warp their judgment are alike reprehensible. It is given to no man, no group of men. no party and no newspaper to attempt for selfish reasons either the defeat or the passage of any one of these amendments. They have been before two Legislatures and before the voters long enough to have become known, to have been criticised and to have permitted of mature judgment on them. Some of these amendments have been accepted as highly desirable, some as without much moment and some as utterly vicious by those among us who have devoted the deepest thought to them. With those amendments which, it has been charged, are utterly vicious, the Times is most concerned. On the broad theory that legitimate effort to defeat that which is not good for the commonwealth is a duty of the citizenry and of a newspaper that endeavors to be of service to the people of the State an appeal for concerted action is proper. With due regard to the character and honesty of those citizens who will not agree, but on the theory that the public interest is paramount, this newspaper must declare that the best interest of the people of Indiana as a whole requires that amendments No. 9, 10, 11 and 12 should be defeated. Amendment No. 9 seeks to allow the Legislature to provide for the appointment of a State superintendent of instruction. The office is now filled by popular vote. The sole argument for the change is that the office would thus “be taken out of politics” and the faliacy of the amendment can readily be measured by the fallacy of the argument- Postniasterahips are now appointive, but no one will argue that they have been "taken out of politics.” In reality, the appointment of a State superintendent of instruction would plunge the office into the most vicious kind of politics and deprive the electorate of any control over the head of its school system. Amendment No. 10 seeks to allow the Legislature, without any restrictions whatsoever, to devise and enforce any desired system of taxation. It removes ail constitutional guarantees of equal taxation, denies the right of injunction in tax matters and places property at the unlimited mercy of whatsoever influence might predominate in the General Assembly. Its adoption would plunge the financial interests of the State into a condition of chaos, render property invested in Indiana subject to unbearable burdens and make of our taxing system a weapon of spoliation and ruin. Amendment No. 11 seeks, under the guise of imposition of an income tax to legalize double taxation in Indiana. It provides for the levy and collection of an income tax “from whatever source derived.” If it means anything it means that with its enactment owners of property on which other taxes are paid would be subjected to additional taxes on the income they derive from that property after having deducted from that income a reasonable tax. Authorities insist that an income tax that is without this possibility of double taxation is now permissible under the constitution as it now stands. Amendment No. 12 seeks to open the militia of Indiana to the negroes. It was conceived for no other purpose than to interest the negro voters in this constitutional election. It is of no practical benefit to the negro and its reaction is one which cannot help inflaming the race feeling that is even now an occasional menace to the State. The purpose of incorporating it in the list to be voted on Sept. 6 ought to be sufficient to insure Its defeat. None of the other amendments fall under the criticism of being vicious. There is wide difference of opinion as to amendment No. 8, which empowers the Legislature to make undetermined qualifications for the admittance of citizens to the practice of law. This amendment has heretofore been defeated, and is subject to the criticism that it leads to a paternalistic regulation of a profession and a "legal oligarchy.” Amendment No. 1, limiting the right of suffrage to citizens of the United States, will be supported generally on patriotic grounds. The other amendments are such that neither great good nor real harm can come of their submission. Passing the Buck Pursuing the time honored custom of “passing the buck,” the board of safety has now begun a campaign to place the responsibility of enforai.ng traffic regulations on the shoulders of the city judge, thereby relieving Itself of a weight which it seems utterly unable to bear. The responsibility is, of course, a joint one and no amount of effort on the part of the board of safety will relieve it of the due share ’tfnich it should be bearing and is today attempting to shirk. Mr. Taggart expresses himself as believing our present traffic code would be satisfactory if enforced. There is merit in the content Ipn, for no traffic code could possibly be satisfactory without enforcement. But memoers of the board are mistaken if they really relieve that the f zTilure of the police to obtain convictions in city court is due to any other Influence than the failure erf the police to present convicting testimony. In the first place, there are not a half dozen policemen jfci Indianapolis who know the State law relative to speeding.. Most of thero think there is an arbitrary speed limit imposed by statute without regardffto traffic conditlona In the second place, motorists are so confused bjy the conflicting and in some instances assinine requirements of our traffic code that they cannot possibly follow its provisions. What is essential to the enforcement of our present; traffic code is education of both the policemen who are charged with the <snforcement of it and the pcblic which is required to conform to it. No amount of fault finding with the court on th© part of the board of public safety will suffice to shift the responsibility, for laxity or incompetency on the part of the traffic police.

The STORY of NINETTE By RUBY M. AYRES

Synopsis of Preceding Chapters. Ninette, a tiny waif who first saw the light of day in cheap lodgings in a dull road in the worst part of Balham. Is adopted by 'Josh” Wheeler, who shares his meager earnings as a scribe on a London paper, with the friendless babe. Under his tender care Ninette grew to girlhood and together they planned for the future, Josh contracts pneumonia. Ninette pawned everything they had and finally, in desperation, tries her hand at writing, signing her name “Wheeler.” Her efforts brought a curt note from Peter Northard, an editor. She calls at his office, but he does not accept the article. Hopelessly, Ninette turns into the street and after a long, long walk tindi herself In a far better ’class neighborhood than that In which she and Josh live. Two men come froin one of tha houses. They have left the latchkey in the door. She finds it easy to enter and her only thought is to help Josh. Just as she picks up a costly watch she is confronted by Peter Northard. Ninette explains everything to him. He decides to help Wheeler, but when they reach him he is dead. Ninette faints. Nothard takes her to his home. Ninette gets brain fever. When she recovers preparation is made to send her to Mothard's sister in the country for complete recuperation. Margaret's husband, Ar thur Delay, is introduced to Ninette. Dorothy Nfanvers, a former sweetheart of Nothard's. is a guest at Margaret's house. In a perfectly lovely old place near Margaret s lives the wealthy William Felsted, whose only son, Dick, frequently visits the Delay home. Dick Felsted becomes Ninette's devoted slave. Mr. Uavanagh, one of the richest men in or out of England, Is a dinner guest at the Delay home. He is very attentive to Ninette and invites her to lunch with him in London. Arthur Delay disapproves of Ninette having an appointment with Cavanagh, but as she thinks jt is none of Arthur Delay's affairs, she sends a note of acceptance. She meets Peter Nothard in the hall Just as she is ready to leave the house. He asks lmr to go to the theater with him and cancel the engagement with Cavanagh. Ninette re fuses to accept Nothard's invitation. Nothard thinks Cavanagh is not a suitaide escort for Ninette, but she insists on going. Dorothy Manyers serves as substitutional company for Nothard. Ninette tells Cavanagh her ilfe story. She tells him she does not love Nothard and she Is sure Nothard does not care for hpr: that she intends going to work and will pay Nothard for looking after her—probably will go on the stage. Cavanagh says he once knew a woman, who threw away all her happiness for her ambition - the stage. Cavanagh aak3 Ninette if she likes him just a little. Ninette tells Cavanagn she likes him very much. Before they part he asks her to have dinner ana go to a theater with him one night af'er he returns from Paris and tells her that if she ever meals assistance he will help her. On her return home Arthur Delay forces his at tenttons on Ninette ami his wife appears on the scene. Ninette pleads innocence but Margaret tells her to go away She flees to Cavanagh in response to his offer to help her. Ninette explains to Cavanagh.

CHAPTER XXV. ‘She Is My Daughter!’ (Copyright, 1921. by the Wheeler Syndioat<\ Inc.) Ninette hastily brushed the starting tears from her eyes at, the door behind her opened, and she look.:' ronnu guiltily: then she rose to her feet with a stifled exclamation as she saw Peter Nothard standing there. “You!” Her dark eyes searched the strained pallor of his fuce with dread : instinctively she took a step backwards as if to protect herself, and seeing it he spoke hoarsely. "Ninette, I've come to take you away.’’ She shook her head: she could find no voice with which to answer him. He, had seen. Margaret, of course, and , heard. She felt that she could not bearj to look him In the eye, innocent though/ she knew herself to be. “I've come to take you away,’’ he again, thickly. “I guessed you would be here with this —this man! Put on hat and come with me. Ninette. No'aody knows; nobody ever need know if you come now.” “No. no! T will not! I am go Vug to stay here! I —’’ She looked pa it him with scared eyes as Randal Cavanagh came quickly Into the room; s'h; made a little rush forward. “Oh. send him away! Tell him I am going to stay here!” Pter Nothard caught her round the waist so roughly that she ajmost fell He swung her back Into thr, center of the room and set his own tuff figure between ter and Cavaragh. “I take Miss Wheeler av/ny with me tonight—now, this moment! r he said. His eyes blazed as they .met the elder man's serene gaze, and h* could hardly steady his voice sufficlen'/ly to speak. Cavanagh bowed; there* was a mocking ■mile on his thin-lips. “It Is for Miss Wlieeler herself to say,” he said quietly. She can go with you br all means If slm wishes to do so, but. first of all, I should like to speak to her—alone.” Nothard flushed cr/mson. "You will say noising to Miss Wheeler that is not said lu my presence!” he said harshly. "W/iat sort of a man d> you call yourself to allow a girl such as she Is to come (to your flat —alone—at this time of ulyjht ? To keep her here and let her dine, with you ” Ninette broke fin angrily. “He never krww 1 was coming. I Just came of my own accord.” “And if NTaette wishea to stay, ahe is welcome to stay," Cavanagh added calmly. Peter Notjtard clenched his hands. “By heatzens!” he broke out passionately. “I always knew you were a scoundrel, ’but I should not have thought that even you ” He broke off choking with s/Vage passion, and Cavanagh smiled s/igbtly. "Thevc is really no need to get so excited,” “he said calmly. “If you will listen tog me for a moment. I may be able to cgjjdaln things entirely to your sattsfact 'An ; and, either way, nothing is to be 'gained by calling me names. Besides, it’s rather dangerous. I am not a 4nn who tolerates Insults lightly.” 'Nothard laughed scornfully. “You think I'm afraid of you,” he scoffed. “because you're a millionaire? /You think I—” He took a quick step forward. his hands clenched, and Ninette gave a stiffed scream and rushed between the two men. “No, no! I'll come with you. Peter. XU come with you!" She was terrified by the passion in Nothard's face, and did not understand it. She caught at his uplifted arm, clinging to it wdth both bauds. "No, no! I’ll come with you—l promise! I’ll come now, at once!" Nothard's arm fell to Ills sldo, and he looked down at her with a queer expres-

sion in his furious eyes, his breath coming fast. Then he said more quietly: “Very well. Put on your hat and coat, at once!" Ninette turned to obey. She was quite white and shaking in every limb. She took up her coat and hat and had begun to put them on when Cavanagh spoke again. “You can put those down, Ninette and listen to what I have to say,” he said calmly. “And you, Mr. Nothard, I advice you to keep your temper for a few minutes, and listen also. T know quite well what you have been thinking since you came into this room, and I’m Just enough to realize that you have some cause for your melodramatic suspicious.” His lip curled slightly and his voice seemed to cut like a knife as he went on, in the same quiet voice. “But 1 am not. an Arthur Delay—for which I think heaven —though I may have nr ny gius lying at my door! Ah! that harts you, does it?” he added in stinging parenthesis, as Nothard winced. “Well, we will let it pass. Ninette"—he laid a hand on the girl’s shoulder—“caxue to me because your brother in-law insulted her, and she was ordered out of the house by bis wife. She came to me to protect her, because there was nobody else to whom she could go; and she will stay here —yes she will stay here.” he added deliberately, as Nothard gave a smothered exelama tlon, “because—and his sunken eyes seemed to spring into life as he spoke —“because she is my daughter!" There was a dramatic silence, then Ninette cried out, and hid her face in her hands. So this was the explanation of the curious attraction she had all along felt for this man! She was blinded with the unexpected shock of it all; she lis tened like one in a dream, as he went on deliberately : “The first time I saw her, at your sister’s house, I was positive that 1 had found her at last—the child for whom I have been looking for the last twenty years. Her mother and I—” He stopped, and a spasm of pain crossed his thin face. "Well, never mind! —that story concerns Ninette alone. I am her father, and I can bring any number of proofs to bear witness to the fact." He looked down at the girl and his eyes softened wonderfully “My dear, you told me of a little book of poems which was found among your mother's things when she died. 1 gave her that book twenty years ago. I wrote her name. ‘Ninette.’ on the front pnge. I was not a rich man then ” He drew a long breath like a sigh, and passed a nand wearily across his eyes before he looked straight at Peter Nothard again. ‘Well, what have you got to say?" he asked.

CHAPTER XXVI. Ninette Goes Home With Peter Peter rfound his voice with difficulty. “If this Is true, if this Is true —" he began; and then, In louder tones, he added: “I shall want every proof, of I am not I am not going to hand Ninette over In this fashion with out every proof that your story is corr Ct.“ He looked at the girl, and ills face, writhed in a curious sort of pain. "You will at least agree with me that I uni right in ins sting on every proof?" he unwed. Ninette did not speak, and Itandal Cavanugh auswered for her. “1 will agree that you you are right, (Mr. Nothard. I know how good you have been to my daughter, and I hope some day to be able to repay you for your generosity and kindness. There is another man, to whom 1 owe even more, so Ninette tell* me, but he is dead, and so—” He stopped, as the glr! broke Into bitter sobbing. She was tired out and overstrung with the excitement of tie day. When Cavanagh would have put his arm round her, she shrank tw*y from him. “Oh, let me go now—!*t mo go!” The two men looked at one another over her bowed head, iud It was Peter Nothard who spoke. “1 will take her to my house—ls you are willing.” His voice was bitter. “My housekeeper is there. Ninette knows her well, and she will look after her for the present, untl other arrangemeats can be made. Unfortunately'' —he iookod away for i moment—“lt ta impossible for her to return to my sis tern house." Ninette looked up, her eyes wet and passionate. “It was not my fault! It was not my fault!" she cried vehemently. "I know you blame me, but it was not my iv.ultl I hate him! I wish I had never seen hint 1” “I am not blaming you,” Nothard said heavily. "If I were, should I have troubled to come here for you tonight?” He waited a moment, then added gently: "Which is it to be. Ninette? Will you stay here, or com* to my house? I can go to a friend s tonight, and until something can be arranged." There was a ilttle silence, then Ninette dried her eyes and put her handkerchief away. “I will come with you," she said faintly. She put on her hat and coat, and fastened her gloves with trembling Augers. As yet she could not realize what had happened, and the enormous change In her fortunes; but she was a little afraid and bewildered, and her eyes were infinitely pathetic when she looked up at Nothard. “I nin quite ready," she said. He passed her. and opened the door. “This is my address," he said to Cavanagh. He gave him a card. “Ninette will be there. If you wish to see her, ar.d —I should like to call upon you tomorrow. if convenient, and talk things over." The elder man bowed formally. "I shall be in town all day, and at your disposal," be said. He went to the door with them, his eyes following Ninette wistfully. “It's ‘Goodnight’ then, Ninette?” he said. “Yes”—she said, almost In a whisper, and the next moment she was following Peter downstairs. He sent the porter for a taxicab, and stood beside "Ninette in the dark porch, wniting silently. There was a great bitterness in his heart, though he hardly knew why. He had considered this girl a nuisance, and had not wished for the guardianship that had been thrust upon him; but

now it was ended so summarily, he was conscious of a strange resentment. For one thing, he hated Cavanagh, and the thought that this man was Ninette's father was snore than distasteful to him. The porteer returned, and touched bis hat “The taxi, sir!" Nothard awoke from his reverie, and foil ,wed Ninette outside. When they were driving away he spoke to her for the fir3t time. “Well, your greatest wish has come true," ho said hardily. "You will have more money now than you will know what to do with." He felt her eyes upon him, though he did not look at her. "You will have your wish, too,” she sabl. "You will be rid of me." I’eter Nothard raised his eyes snd looked steadily at Ninette. "I am not awuro that 1 ever said I wished to be rid of you." he said quietly. Ninette laughed. “Som actions speak louder than words,” she said. "Oh, I know I ought to be grateful to you for all you have done, and so I am, but—all the same!" she drew a long breath. “I’m glad It's ended. I'm glad I've really got someone of my own after all." His face hardened. “We don't know yet that this man's story 1s true," he objected. “I shall want very conclusive proof.” Ninette shrugged her shoulders. “I know it's true! I think I always knew it from the first time I met him. there was something about him -something that attracted me. even though you called him a blackguard,” she added defiantly. Nothard turned to open the door a* the taxi stopped. “Well, we won't argue about it,” be said curtly. “I will Just come in with you for a moment and make arrangements for tonight." He told the driver to wait, and opened the door with his latch key, standing aside to-let Ninette precede him Into the house. He switched on the light and led the way Into his study where the fire burned cheerily, just as It had done that first night when Ninette walked Into It. an uninvited guest. "If you’ll excuse me a moment,” Nothard said. He went, out of the room, and she heard him go Upstairs and call (o the housekeeper: she heard him speaking to her for n few seconds, then he came back again. (To be Continued.)
