l( iintlniiei! from ynterlay.) CI,m not sure of that," was my reply. "It would have been useless to have found him out sooner. And if ho had hidden himself until later, he might have done ua some serious mischief." As he was the president-elect, to go to him uninvited would have been infringement of his dignity as well as of my pride. A few days later I rwrote him, thanking him for his messages and inquiries during' my illness

and saying that I was once more tak- j lng part in affairs. He did not reply by calling me up on the telephone, aa he would have done In his cordial, intimate years preceding his grandeur.

Jn3tead he sent a telegram of congratulation, following it wiih a note. He urged me to go south, as I had planned, and stay until I wa3 fully re

stored. "I shall deny myself tho pleas- j ure of seeing you until you return." j That sentence cut off our meetine in-!

definitely I could see him smiling at : "0 Would Think It Was Your its adroitness as he wrote it. i Money."

But he made his state of mind even ' clearer. His custom had been to begin his notes: "Dear Harvey," or j "Dear Sayler," and to end them j "James" or "Burbank." This note be- j gan: "My Dear Senator:" it ended: "Yours sincerely, James E. Burbank." As I stared at these phrases my blood ! steamed to my brain. Had he spat ' in my face my fury would have beew ' less. "So!" I thought in the first ' i gust of anger, "you feel that you have been using me, that you have no fur- i ther use for me. You have decided j to take the advice of those idiotic in- ' dependent newspapers and 'wash your hands of the corruptionist who almost j defeated you.' " i To make war upon him wa3 In wisdom impossible evsn had I wished, i And when anger flowed away and pity and contempt succeaded, I really did I iiot wish to war upon him. But there j was Goodrich the real corruptionist, j the wrecker of my plan3 and hopes, ! the menace to the future of the party, i I sent for Woodruff, and together we j mapped out a campaign against the : senior senator from New Jersey in all the newspapers we could control or influence. I gave him a free hand to use with his unfailing discretion, of course all the facts we had accumulated to Goodrich's discredit. I put at his disposal a hundred thousand dollars. As every available dollar of the party fund had been used in the campaign, I advanced this money out of my own pocket. And I went cheerfully away to Palm Beach, there to watch at my ease the rain of shot and shell upon my enemy.

CHVPTER XXVII. A I .nestic Discord. After a month in the south, I was well again younger In feeling, and in looks, than I had been for ten years. Carlotta and the children, eicept "Junior," who was in college, had gone to Washington when I went to Florida. I found he abed with a nervous attack from the double strain of the knowledge that Junior had eloped with an "impossible" woman, he had met, I shall not say where, and of the effort of keeping the calamity from me until she was sure he had really entangled himself hopelessly. Sho was now sitting among her pillows, telling the whole story. "If he hadn't married her!" she ended. This struck me as ludicrous a good woman, citing to her son's discredit the fact that he had goodness' own ideals of honor. "What are you laughing at?" she demanded. I was about to tell her I was hopeful of the boy chiefly because he had thus shown the splendid courage that more than redeems folly. But I refrained. I had never been able to make Carlotta understand me or my ideas, and I had long been weary of the resentful silence or angry tirades which mental and temperamental misunderstandings produce. "What can be expected?" she went on, after trying in vain to connect my remark with our conversation. "A boj needs a father. You've been so busy with your infamous politics that you've givea him scarcely a thought." Painfully true, throughout; but it wa3 one of those criticisms we can hardly endure even when we make it upon ourselves. I was silent.

"I've no patience with men!" she j an(1 patted her

"What are you going to do about it, Harvey? How can you be so calm?

Isn't there anything that would rouse

you?"

"I'm too busy thinking what to do

to waste any energy in blowing off steam," was my answer in my consil-

iatory tone. "But there's nothing we can do

which vented itself toward me be

cause the true culprit, fate, was not

within reach. "Precisely," I agreed. "Nothing."

"That creature won't let him come

to see me."

"And you mustn't see him when he sends for you," said I. "He'll come a3

soon as his money gives out. She'l seo that he does."

"But you aren't going to cut him

off!" "Just that," said I.

A long silence, then I added in an

swer to her expression: "And you

must not let him have a cent, either

In a gust of anger, probably at my

having read her thoughts, she blurted out: "One w)uld think it was your

money."

I had seen that thought in her eyes

had watched her hold it back behind

her set teeth, many times in our married years. And I now thanked my

stars I had had the prudence to get j ready for the Inevitable moment whea she would speak it. But at the same time I could not restrain a flush of shame. "It is my money," I forced myself to say. "Ask your brother. He'll tell you what I've forbidden him to tell hefore that I have twice rescued you and him from bankruptcy." "With our own money," she retorted, hating herself for saying it, but goaded on by a devil that lived in her temper and had got control many a

time, though never before when I happened to be the one with whom she was at outs. "No with my own," I replied tranquilly. "Your own!" she sneered. "Every dollar you have has come through what you got by marrying me through what you married me for. Where would you be if you hadn't married me? You know very well. You'd still be fighting poverty as a small lawyer in Pulaski, married to Betty Crosby or whatever her name was." And she burst into hysterical tears. At last she was showing me the secrets that had been tearing at her, was showing me her heart where they had torn it. "Probably," said I in my usual tone, when she was calm enough to hear me, "So that's what you brood over?" "Yes," she sobbed. "I've hated you and myself. Why don't you tell me It isn't so? I'll believe it I don't want to hear the truth. I know you don't love me, Harvey. But just say you don't love her." "What kind of middle-aged maudlin moonoshine is this, anyway?" said I. "Let's go back to Junior. We've passed the time of life when people can talk sentimentality without being ridiculous." "That's true of me, Harvey," ehe said miserably, "but not of you. You don't look a day over 40 you're still

A local substitute wa3 provided and the performance was given. At' the conclusion the conductor summoned the newcomer to him. "Look here," he said, "you must wcrk, you know. I didn't hear much of that trombone of yours to-night" "To-night," replied the man, loftily, "I was out of form. But you wait till to-morrow, when I really begin to play. You won't be able to hear any of the other fellows then."

Dog Checked at Theater. l or the first time in history, so said the wiseacres, a dog was checked ia the coat-room of a New York Theater the other night. It happened at the Herald Square. Two women entered the theater and went immediately tc the retiring room near the lobby. One of them had carried n a bulldog unier her opera cloak. She asked whethr she could have him checked, and iliecked he was, like a cane or umorella. until the end of the performaace. -N. Y. Ttcxea.
