MEETING WILL BE 20-RING CIRCUS X Past Masters of Political Strategy Will Direct Perform- " ances at New York Convention, .

Bv ALEXANDER HERMAN, NEA Service Staff Writer. . EW YORK. June 21.—1n a pit beneath the speaker’s - J platform at Madison Square Garden will be staged the prize act of the Democratic Convention. There, where once the tanbark lay, will sit the Boards of Strategy of the several candidates —each with a bag of tricks. Some will use sieight-of-hand; others just plain bunk—but each, in turn, hopes to bring down the house. It will be a twenty-ring circus when the show gets fully under way. Eliminations will be quicker than those at an amateur try-out: and the wind-up will be a surprise hit. Just who the head-liners will be must remain a matter of speculation until the very end. Best Drilled Act Judging from the rehearsals of the past week, the McAdoo forces will come onto the convention floor with the best drilled act. In the center of the group will sit ex-Judge David Ladd Rockw'ell, astute manager of the McAdoo drive. ‘Y' POOL DRAWS MEN AND BOYS Social Program Is Proving Popular This Summer, Hundreds of men and boys are swarming to the “summer resort” Jbt Indianapolis—the Young Men’s Christian Association. The main attraction has been the swimming pool. Last week more than 2,200 men and boys used the pool. The social program is proving popular this summer. of the “Y” members and their friend are enjoying the special moving picture snow's given semi-weekly. The promotional work of the Fall Educational classes will begin next month in 127 factories in the city. Thirty of the first fifty boys' to go from Indianapolis to the Y. M. C. A. camp near Bedford. Ind., for the first ten days period have been enrolled. Enrollments are now received also for the second ten-day period beginning July 5. SEVEN ENTER IN SINE CONTEST

‘Queen of the Circus’ Will Get Free Trip, With seven early entrants and prospects of more, the Murat Temple popularity contest for “queen of the circus” got under way today. E. J. Gausepohl is general chairman of the circus committee. The entrants: M;ss Cathern Riley, 1217 College Ave.; Miss Frieda Ruth, 1211 Parker Ave.; Mrs. Arnold Spencer. 521 East Dr., Woodruff Place? Miss Augusta McGrath. Hume-Mansur building; Miss Ruth Kersting. 1922 Olnev St.; Mrs. W. A. Ricketts, 730 lowa St., and MiSs Bessie Burgett, 43 N. Warman Ave. The queen will be awarded a free trip to Los Angeles and return with the Murat Shriners on their annual pilgrimage next spring, and cash prizes will be awarded second and third honor contestants. The contest is based on the sales of advance tickets for the Shrine circus festival July 3-12 at Diamond Chain Park. A booster meeting of Murat Temple’s uniformed organizations Friday night was addressed by Potentate Charles J. Orbison. MOUM; S’NUFyCENSE Clerk Doesn't Believe Flapper Wii! Use Cook Book, The place was the marriage license counter in the office of County Clerk Albert H. Bosehe. The time was a bright June day that followed a moonlit June night. Swagger stick, red slippers, rouge, shingle-bob and everything else that tells of the Twentieth Century flapper, a young lady and her swain applied for a marriage license. After ascertaining th* bVide was a resident of Marion County and over 18, that the husband-to-be was over 21 and of sound mind, and that no divorce costs were pending against either from the last marriage, Miss Margaret Mahoney, deputy clerk, issued the license and collected the $2.50. “Well, I gave the ygCung lady a cook book, but I don't think she’d ever use it” remarked Miss Mahoney to Losche as the couple left. With license the clerk gives a free cook book. CUTS^OFF BABY'S FEET Mother Driving Mower Did Not See Child in Grass. fii/ Timex Special COVINGTON, Ind v June 21.—Mrs. Manford Bodine was in a state of collapse today as a result of running down her 4-year-old son with a mowing machine and cutting off both of his feet. The child was hidden In the tall grass and the mother, who was driving the mower, see. him. * The child will recover

At one side will sit Frank H. Farris, trained parliamentarian; on the other will stand Breckenridge Long, who will be the McAdoo “whip.” Nearby will be Daniel S. Roper of South Carolina, and J. Bruce Kremer, national committeeman from Montana, the chief floor-leaders. Seated with each delegation w'ill be other McAdoo leaders directing their supporters. Each move will be directed from the main group in the pit: each order w'ill be carried out with the utmost precision. And if there comes a lag in the show, vocal boosters, duly trained, will start their McAdoo demonstrations. Theirs will be a noisy show. New York to Perform Less ostentatious in array, but potentially as powerful as the McAdoo force, will be the Smith troupe “doing its stuff.” Under the guidance of Norman E. Mack and Franklin D. Roosevelt, they w'ill hold back their big number until they think that the other shows have flopped. Then w'ill begin the subtle appeal for backing of some of the favorite sons and disappointed actors—w r ho may die without even making a gesture. The rehearsals for this play are now going on behind the closed doors of “355” at the Waldorf—where Mack and Taggart of Indiana have their quarters. Just what hit it will make with the delegates cannot be forecast. Ralston Ring In a smaller ring, off to one side, stands C. C. Carlin. Senator Underwood’s manager. He wil join in wi'h other groups to defeat any attempt to force a majority vote for nomination; but then he will stand alone, trying to work up an enthusiasm for his candidate. If he fails, he may move over to the Smith crowd. Tom Taggart, experienced showman of many a ring, will direct the play for Senator Ralston of Indiana. Near by will be a score or more of other strategists, each maneuvering around to get his candidate in the spotlight, hoping that hist act will put over the big headliner. Together they will make this the “greatest-and-biggest” show the Gar-, dep ever held—not even barring the regular circus, the Wild West rodeo, or big prize fights. For the convention may wind up as a combination of all three.

Ishmln and Peter's wife Dorothy, i.ad urged him to go to South America. He joinu Rig Chris barson in response to a distress signal at sea. giving J,arson ins sea jacket. Their launch hits rocks. Larson's body is buried as Newhali’s. Peter, rescued, finds injuries have completely changed his appearance. Dorothy and-lehman go to Alaska to return Peter s body. They do not recognize Peter in their head guide. A storm strands them at the grave “Change name." a message from a seance, Dorothy believes to be from Peter, telling her to aeeept Ishmin's marriage proposal. Ppon Ishmin's return from a trip for supplies, he and Dorothy are married by a native priest. Peter goes to give them best wishes. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY SHE girl spoke sharply in the silence. “Peter Newhall, my dead husband,” she answered in evident awe. “That word came from beyond the grave,” Pete went on solemnly. He was partly acting on inspiration r.ow —an urge that he did not know —and partly in a deliberate attempt to take advantage of Ivan’s Asiatic superstitions. “Peter Newhall that was your husband is dead, but his ghost has been here all the time—both of you know it.” The girl’s eyes filmed with tears, and she nodded. "Ivan, the of Peter Newhall is guarding this girl still. It will guard her clear to the end — I'm not a medium, as Joe is, yet I know that as well as I know any thing. You can take my word for gcspel. Worship her and thank God for her be kind to her—and your soul will be saved. But at the first wickedness of which you are so easily capable—the ghost of Peter Newhall will hound you to your destruction. Ivan stared like a stricken man. Pete took a long-drawn breath, then turned to Dorothy. "I want you to remember, too,” he told her gently, his eyes fixed on hers. of your husband is watching over you—believe me. because it's true! If you ever need him, he will be there to help you. If you ever need me—your guide that is more than a guide —I will come, no matter how many

seas I have to cross. All you have to do is to sepd for me." To I)orothy r , it was like an unearthly dream. She knew, with a sure knowledge, that this man meant exactly what he said, and she had experienced anew sense of security' and-peace that could never wholly pass away. Already this seer was turning to go. Hie trembling hand was at the flap of the tent. “YOU FOOL!” IVAN BEGAN CONTEMPTUOUSLY. He seemed to be limning. As she watched, fascinated, she saw the rapt look leave his face, and a look of common earthly interest take its place. He bent his head, straining; then turned to Ivan. “It’s the squaw, I guess,” he said. “She’s already come with the supplies.” They' heard dragging steps; then the crackle of dead twigs that were strewn about the camp fire. Some one with a heavy load halted just outside the flap of the tent. Pete drew aside the flap, and the candle 'light streamed out into the gloom. It was not an Indian squaw who.had brought this back-load of

supplies from across the Peninsula. The black bearded, stalwart man who stood without was Paul Sarichef, whom Peter Newhall had supposedly drowned in the Savannaah River years before. CHAPTER XVIII Sarichef Appears There con,ld not be the least doubt of Sarichef’s identity. All three actors in the drama knew him at the first glance, with certain recognition not to be mistaken. His clothes were rough and worn, hut physically he was unchanged since Pete had last seen him on the launch on the Savannah. That fatal night! The thought was infinitely ironical. Heue, in the flesh, stood the man of whose murder ne had believed himself gui,lty and for which he had so dearly paid. There was one instant of bewil-. dered groping ih the dark, and then Pete knew the truth. He had simply been the victim of a cruel, relentless, criminal mind. Ivan Ishmin, loving Dorothy with his Oriental ardor, had schemed to win her away from her husband, and he had known no law .but >iis own. That he should have neither scruples nor mercy was wholly in character: he was a strong, profound, relentless man, and he had never been ont to be swayed from his purpose. He had craved Dorothy with an unholy fire, his genius demanded to prey upon her, and when a. drunken quarrel aboard the launch on the Savannah River had given him his opportunity, he had been remorseless in taking advantage of it. Sarichef had been told to disappear: Ivan had contrived the wicked lie that had been Pete’s downfall. When Peter had wakened from drunken slumber he had been easy to convince that he had actually committed the crime that Ivan sworn he had seen. Pete's only amazement was that Sarichef had not actually been slain to add plausibility to his story, or he himself—by cunning, deliberate, carefully covered murder —wiped from his rival's path. The flood of vengeful rage that might have been expected did not at once sweep over Pete, partly because the drama of the moment carried him above it, partly from sheer amazement at this incredible, unexpected visitation. He felt oddly cool, capable of deliberate thought. The moment was inordinately vivid, rather than dreamy; his realities still endured—the clouds that hid the stars, the camp fire glowing dully, the wide bed of straw at his feet and the caribou flesh drying behind the camp stove. The moan of

the sea carried through the moment, unbroken, and the wind still yelled and blustered, flapping the canvas with maniacal frejjzy without an instant's cessation. After one. great start which seemed to be wholly internal—one single, violent impulse throughout the strong tree of his nervous system that showed not at all. in his face or frame —all his powers seemed to rally, vouchsafing him not only perfect self-control but a certain penetrative, infallible quality of thought. Outwardly this was Dorothy and Ivan's drama solely neither in look nor word did he give any "sign that he recognized Sarichef. Such action might imme diately reveal his own identity. Tq Dorothy the sight of that startled face that she recognized instantly as that of her husband’s supposed victim was like a shattering fist at her breast. Her throat froze and she could not cry out; but instead of dullness and insensibility, a white light of super-consciousness seemed to pervade the scene; to her also the whole truth became .vividly, cruelly manifest, and she was acutely sensitive, as in a death by fire, of all its tragic phases. Her hands clasped, her face with deathly white, ugly and haggard from unbearazle pain. At the same time her thought moved with a cruel clarity. She knew now why Ivan had urged Peter's flight instead of encouraging him in his first intention to stay and fight the murder charge through the courts. She saw now why Ivan had directed him south, clearing the way and arranging for his concealment in the Brazilian fastnesses; he had known that Sarichef had gone north and he had wanted to guard against a possible meeting of the two men. She understood why he had been so moved and stirred, like a man who has just come safely through an unseen danger, when he had got the word that Peter* had died in the North rather than the South, and why he had opposed so bitterly and earnestly her own venture into the North in search of her husband's body; he had feared that she might encounter and identify Sarichef. Over and above the fact of this present meeting, it was justifiable fear. The North has but a comparatively small white population, and they all cross trials sooner or later, particularly in this great baren end of Alaska that was such a refuge for missing men. He likely knew that Sarichef was located somewhere in this immediate vicinity—probably on the other side of the peninsula—and therefore he had insisted on going himself on the expedition after supplies, rather than

; send one of the guides who might, not guessing the truth, encounter Sarichef, enlist his aid in his employer’s behalf, and bring him back as one of a rescue party to the camp. Her husband had been wronged and, she believed, indirectly done to death! He had been the victim of a wicked, deliberate plot of which she herself had been an unsuspecting instrument. Her remorse had been poignant but now is swept over her like the sea. The cruel futility of it all, the torturing sense of bootless loss seemed more than she could bear. Ivan's expression hardly changed. His face twitched once: and It might have been that a mirthless. Ironic half-smile hovered for an Instant at his closely pressed lips. He walked more fully into the firelight, uttered one grim, subdued oath, then leered at his late secretary in contempt. It was not that he failed to recognize what this sudden coming meant to him and his. He knew that, except by Dorothy’s loyalty to him, he could never go back to the civilized world again. He had risked everything, and he was done for, if the truth ever came out; he had gone on record in the Georgia courts as saying that he had seen Peter Newhall throw this man into the river and that he had seen him go down for the third time. He would be ruined

socially and professionally, and In aH probability the law Itself would seize him. Fortunately Dorothy was his wife. Surely he would have vital need of her loyalty. Himself, Dorothy, and Sarichef were now grouped about the Are; and Pete stodldly piled on fresh fuel. The flame mounted higher, crackling; and the head guide retired into the .shadows just without the circle of weird, ruddy firelight. Then he stood waiting, forgotten and unseen. “You fool!” Ivan began contemptuously to Sarichef. “What are you doing here? Blackmail. I suppose.** The man's blank face showed he was*utterly baffled. He seemed to be fearing a blow. “I don’t knojfcI can't explain—” (Continued in Our Next Issue) HRS. YOUNG * ENTHUSIASTIC Cannot Praise Lydia E.Pinkiam’s Vegetable Compound Enough.
