CHAPTER IX. The Compartment That Wasn’t Secret. AT the sight of Herbert in the motor at the curb, Lila stopped dead. Her heart began to pound and the blood rushed into hexcheeks. She was a lovely and radiant picture of guilt. At least, that was the way she felt, and that was the way she looked to Herbert. Feeling that some explanation was necessary, yet not knowing what to say, she trotted up to him, masking her discomfort with a brilliant smile. “I passed your father in his car, after I left you,” said Herbert. ‘‘He was on his way downtown.” Inwardly Lila thanked him for the tip. “I know,” she nodded brightly. “Wasn’t it stupid of me to be so late that I missed him?” "It’s been three-quarters of an hour since you entered the house and found him gone.” Herbert looked at her with a serious question in his eyes. “I do believe he thinks I went to Dad’s to meet a man,” thought Lila. She rather thrilled at Herbert’s jealousy, for she was still too much in love to find it tiresome. "I know, darHfig.” She looked adorably penitent. “But I couldn’t resist going over the house a bit, just—well, just to see that the servants were looking after Dad properly.” Herbert’s brows lifted significantly. “I never knew, that you concerned yourself very much with your father’s comfort, Lila,” he said, adding more gently: “It was the only fault I ever had to find with you, sweetheart.” “I know, darling. I’ve never been Half nice enough to Dad. I’ve always just taken him for granted, and he didn’t seem to mind—much. But loving you has taught me much. I’m sorry that I was such an indifferent daughter.” Herbert melted at once. He could never resist Lila when she talked about her love for him. “Let’s go for a drive and have an early lunch somewhere,” he suggested. “It’s too late to go down to the office this morning.” Lila’s heart sank. It was alx-eady 11 o’clock. The horrible Mr. Jackson would be even now awaiting her at Dorothy’s studio and getting more suspicious every moment. If she didn’t show up at all—

SHE shuddered. She had visions of Mr. Jackson tracking her down and discovering that Miss j iatham, the fiancee of the late aptain Jack Farquahar, buried in i L-ance, was Mrs. Herbert Ware, kn that event, of course, there’d I no keeping the truth from Herbert, with everything happening right under his nose. Again she heard herself saying to Herbert: “Darling, there was never any one but you!” So she had to agx-ee to Herbert’s suggestion that they lunch eogether. At any other time she would have adored it. She loved him so much that there was a delicious thrill in going out to lunch with him. She said, over the luncheon-table, not meaning to be flippant: “Do you know, darling, this isn,’t a bit like being married. I think marriages would be much happier, if people pretended to be lovers, sometimes, instead of husband and wife.” Herbert looked so shocked that she was actually frightened. “No doubt this idea comes from association with your artist friend,” he said, stiffly. “If she has told you such things, please don’t lower yourself in my regard by repeating them.” Quick tears sprang to Lila’s eyes. The rest of the luncheon choked her. She left .Herbert directly afterward, with only a murmured word of farewell. It was their first quarrel. Herbert, motoring down-town, felt it keenly. He was half inclined to go back uptown and make it up ‘with Lila. It was only because he was both stubborn and jealous that he held to his resolution to punish her a trifle; he hoped it would make her seriously consider lessening her friendship with Dorothy. Herbert wouldn’t admit, even to himself, how jealous he was of that friendship. He wanted Lila to have no room in her heart, or thoughts, for any one but himself. n tt n rv four o’clock he had fallen into a mood that was a mixture of hurt feelings and humility. He decided that he’d been rather brutal to Lila. It occurred to him that both last night and today he had been very near quarreling with her and he had said, or insinuated, some harsh things. Instead of apologizing with words, which was really asking too much of him for such a trifle, he would make a subtle bid for forgiveness by buying her a gift. After an hour at Tiffany’s, he emerged with a typically conventional gift; a diamond and sapphire bracelet. Os course, Lila had several diamond bracelets, but they were the fashion, so a smart woman could scarcely have too many of them, provided she didn’t wear them all at once. At least, so Herbert’s mind reasoned. Lila wasn’t at home when he arrived. He debated the matter of presenting his gift. It would scarcely be compatible with his dignity to hand ito her and be forced to say that it was his apology. Rather, _ let her find it tucked away somewhere; she would understand. But he must put it in a place where she wouldn’t miss it. Her jewel-case! The very place Herbert possessed a duplicate key to Lila’s jewel-case, a fact of which •h" was not aware. The case had '■'oen one of his engagement gifts to her, and he had kept one key, ‘V f'-rfnv that it was always w" -> t,o lcse their keys, :J ho , when ,iu inevitable hap-

pened to Lila, he could come forward and save the expensive box from the chisel of a locksmith. He opened the case and prepared to drop into it the diamond and sapphire bracelet. But his fingers accidentally touched a spring. Even he, who had pimchased the case, had not known of the secret compartment. The compartment opened and

“ Good girls!” Faith applauded Crystal Hathaway and Rhoda Jonson, as her large, serene brown eyes took in the immaculate condition of her home, left in their charge during the last two months, which she and her husband and baby, together with Cherry, Nils and little Hope had spent at a Michigan lake resort. “But do please go into ecstasies over my son! Look at him! Isn’t he a picture? Brown as a Mexican muchacha. Only 6 months old and already trying to walk. And teeth! Two!” Crystal took the plump, brown baby into her arms and snuggled his little black head against her neck. She wondered if she’d ever have one. . . . “He’s absolutely adorable, Faith. You look lovely yourself, more like an Italian madonna than ever, with that creamy coat of tan. I envy you. I freckle.” Faith laughed with soft excitement and pleasure as she smoothed her dark, shining hair, which was parted in the middle and knotted on her neck. “It certainly pays to go away and expose one-self to new people. “Bob was actually jealous, and refused to make more than those two flying trips home. I hope you didn’t nave too rotten a time this summer, Crystal. And how are the singing lessons going, Rhoda?” Nils Jonson’s plump, yellowhaired, China-blue-eyed sister smiled shyly. “Pretty good. Faith. Madame thinks I can go to New York for an audition at the Metropolitan this winter—not for a contract, of course, but to see if there is any hope. “Crystal and I enjoyed your home this summer, Faith.

Hov.' Bryan forced Wilson’s nomination is described in this chapter of ‘ Th Presidentinl Parade,” Rodney Butcher's series on presidential politics BY RODNEY DIJTCIIER, NEA Service Writer

* Copyright, 1928. by NEA Service. Inc.) ASHINGTON. Oct. 26. The Roosevelt bolt had almost assured the election of a Democratic President in 1912, but it was William Jennings Bryan who made the Baltimore convention nominate Woodrow Wilson and thus halt Roosevelt inroads on the Democratic progressive vote. Thanks to Bryan, Speaker Champ Clark of Missouri became the first candidate since Van Buren to obtain a convention majority and yet lose a nomination. Wilson had his eye on the presidency even before

he xan ior Governor of New Jersey. Elected, he crushed the New Jersey bosses, bent a legislature to his great will and became renowned for his clear, forceful speeches. Other Democratic candidates were Clark, Senator Oscar Underwood of Alabama and Governor Judson Harmon of Ohio. Bryan virtually eliminated Harmon and Underwood by publicly branding them as reactionaries.

Soon the Wilson-Clark fight was translated into a struggle of progressives vs. reactionaries, the people vs. machine politics. Clark had the support of the congressional Democrats and of William Randolph Hearst with his string of publications. He a secret deal with Tammany. Clark Starts as Favorite Clark was the favorite as the convention opened, but Bryan was the central figure, Clark showed a willingness to compromise with Tammany on choosing of a keynoter and Bryan went up in the air. Bryan led the crusading element which demanded war on the trusts, tariff reduction, income tax, child labor abolition, “restoration of government to the people,” direct election of senators and other progressive measures. When Parker was nominated for temporary chaiiinan, Bryan rose dramatically to oppose him. It was one of the most dramatic moments of Bryan’s life. He delivered a terrific indictment of the interests behind Parker and he made the convention listen until he nominated John W. Kern of Indiana. Bryan Loses at First In the uproar Parker was elected, 579 to 508, proving that the Clark, Underwood and Harmon factions dominated the convention. But suddenly an avalanche of telegrams began to reach the convention. The many Wilson clubs and the minor politicians at home had been set to work. Anti-Wil-son politicians were astonished. Clark managers frantically tried to persuade Bryan that Clark really was a red-hot progressive. They even offered him the permanent chairmanship, but Bryan refused. Facing this progressive reaction, politicians desperately began to pull wires and intrigue for something else than defeat. The first ballot went: Clark 440. Wilson 324, Harmon 148. Underwood 118. Marshall 31, Baldwin, 22. Clark Loses Strength From the tenth ballot Clark's strength slowly went down. Wilson passed the two-thirds line on the forty-sixth with 990. to Clark’s 84. Governor Thomas R. Marshall of

Inside the circlet that glittered in Herbert's palm was a tiny inscription. He read it and gasped. (To lie Continued) (Copyright, 1928, Metropolitan Newspaper Service, New York)

so much. Beulah, is back, fatter than ever after her vacation, but I hope you will find everything else just as you left it. Oh, here’s Mr. Hathaway!” She could never bring herself to call Faith's husband by his first name, since she could not forget that, she had once been a sort of gloried maid in the Hathaway home. “Oh, you look wonderful, Mr. Hathaway! Why, even your hair’s sunburned, and you look pounds heavier.” “All too true, Rhoda,” Bob agreed, laughing, then kissing her and his cousin. “I’m sunburned all over. There was one week when I thought sure I'd murder the next goof that slapped my back. “Oh, by the way, Crystal, I saw a car drive up to the Tarver house when I was putting ours into the garage. Looked like the arrival of the Tarver tribe. I don’t suppose i we’ll see you now till dinner time.” “You’re sure you won’t mind?” | Crystal appealed excitedly to her : cousin and Faith, then hardly waitj ed for their smiling assurance. She found Tony in her bedroom, i surrounded by bags, which Annabel | had ostensibly come up to unpack, but the colored maid's eyes were [ obviously pinned back for Tony’s gay confidences. “Oh, hello, Crys, darling! I was j just goixxg to phone you. Annabel’s ! trying to make me confess to an engagement, at least, if I won’t acknowledge that I’m ‘spiced,’ as she puts it. . “But darling, speak! Tell me all! You’ve simply maddened me with your hints about the ‘ mysterious suitor.’ Who, what, and where he Is?” (To Be Continued.

Indiana was named for Vice-Presi-dent and Bryan fixed up a strong platform. Democrats everywhere expressed unbounded enthusiasm. The marvel of the campaign was Wilson's series of brilliant and inspiring speeches, sprinkled with epigrams. He told the country that the rights of the lower middle class, hard-pressed farmers and city workers was about to be restored. Democrats Are Victors The election brought the Democrats in out of the desert in which they had wandered for sixteen years with both radical and conservative candidates, but Wilson’s vote fell lower than Bryan’s in any of the latter’s campaigns and was 2,000,000 below the combined total of his opponents. Nevertheless his electoral college victory was devasting. He carried forty states, losing Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota, South Dakota and Washington to Roosevelt and only Utah and Vermont to Taft. The popular and electoral vote: Wilson 6,286,000 435 Roosevelt 4,126,000 88 Taft 3,484,000 8 Debs 897,000 Next: “lie Kept Us Out of War.” ARCTIC GETS WARMER Ocean Studies Indicate Effect on Climate. lIH Science Service NEW LONDON, Conn., Oct. 26. That the Arctic climate is getting warmer, at least temporarily, is indicated by studies made by the U. S. Coast Guards’ expedition to the waters between Labrador and Greenland, and which just has returned here after an absence of over two months. One of the purposes was to measure ocean temperatures in this area and by this means they found that a surface layer of water 100 meters in thickness, cpvering an ocean of 100,000 square miles, was five degrees warmer than normally. “Such an additional heat reservoir of tremenous proportions is bound to have far-reaching climatic effects,” was pointed out by Commander Edward H. Smith, who commanded the expedition.
