I did not finish. I did not care to confess that since Frances and I saw flranby swinging from that- tree In my grounds I had neither heart nor etomach for the relentless side of the game. Indeed, whether from calculation or from sentimentality or from both or, from a certain sympathy and fellow feeling for all kinds of weakness I have never pursued those who have played me falne, except when exemplary punishment was Imperataive. "Well " Woodruff looked bitterly disappointed. "I guess you're right." lie brightened. "I forgot Goodrich for a minute. Burbank'Il do himself up through that I'd have to be in a raloon to feel free .to use the language that describes him." "I fear he will." I said. And it was tot a hypocrisy for I did not, and could not, feel anger toward him. JIad I not cut this staff deliberately T9caue it was crooked? What more I atural than that, it should give way -;ru'er mo as soon as I leaned upon It? "Your sickness certainly couldn't lave come at an unluckler time," Woodruff observed just before he left. "I'm not cure of that." was my reply. "It would have beea useless fiare found him out sooner. And r he had hidden himself until later, be might have done us some serious mischief," As he was the president-elect, to fo to him uninvited would have been infringement of his dignity as treli as cf my pride. A few days later T wrote him, thanking him for his messages and inquiries duiiug my iiinsss and saying that I was once more taking part in affairs. He did not reply by calling me up on the telephone, as he would have done in his cordial, intimate years preceding his grandeur. Instead he sent a telegram of congratulation, following it with at note, lie urged me to go south, as I had
planned, and stay until I was fully restored. "I shall deny myself the pleasure of seeing you until you return." That sentence put off our meeting mdefiniteiy I could see him smiling at Its adroitness as he wrote it. Rut he made his state of mind even clearer. His custom had been to begin his notes: "Dear Harvey," or ' Dear Sayler," and to end them James" or "Burbank." This note becan: "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 havo bee les. "So!" I thought in the first feust of anger, "you feel that you have been using nie. that you have no further use for me. You have decided to take the advice of those idiotic independent newspapers and 'wash your hands of the corruptionist who almost defeated you. " To make war upon him was in wisdom impossible even had I wished. And when anger flowed away and pity and contempt succeeded, I really did not wish -to war upon him. But there was Goodrich the real corruptionist, the wrecker of my plans and hopes, the menace- to th future of the party. I sent for Woodruff, and together we mapped out a campaign against the senior senator from New Jersey in all 1he 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
Iut 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. CHAPTER XXVII. A Domestic Discord. After a month in the south, I was well again younger in feeling, and in looks, than 1 had been for ten years. Carlotta and the children, except Junior," who was In college, had pone to Washington when I went to Florida, 1 found her 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. She 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 splf d courage that more than redeems folly. But I refrained. I had never been able to make Carlotta understand me or my licas. and T had. long been weary of the resentful silence or angry tirades which mental and temperamental misv :r. d e r t a n dings p ro d uce. "What can be expected?" she went on. after trying in vain to connect my remark with our conversation. "A loy need3 a father. You've been so husy with your infamous politics that you've given him scarcely a thought." Tainfully true, throughout; but It

ter without them, and letting their own patch run to weeds." Unanswerable. I held my peace. "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-
latory tone. "But there's nothing we can do," she retortetd, with Increasing anger, which vented itself toward me because 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 as soon as his money gives out. She'll ee that he does." "But you aren't going to cut him off!" "Just that." said I. ' A long silence, then I added in answer to her expression: "And you must not let Aim have a cent, either." In a gust of anger, probably at my hring reJ her thoughts, she blurted out: 'One would 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 ready for the inevitable moment when 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 before 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 yon and myself. Why don't you tell me it isn't so? I'll believe it I don't want to hear the truth. T know you don't love me, Harvey. But just say you don't love her." "What kind of middle-aged maudlin moonoshlne is this, anyway?" said I. 'Let's go back to Junior. We've passed the time of life when people can talk sentimentality without be
ing ridiculous." "That's true of me, Harvey," she said miserably, "but not of you. You don't look a day over 40 you're still a young man, while I " She did not need to complete the sentence. I sat on the bed beside her and patted her vague!. She took my hand and kissed it. And I said I tried to say it gently, tenderly, sincerely: "People who've been together, a-: you and I have, see each other always as at first, they say." She kissed my hand gratefully again. "Forgive me for what I said." she murmured. "You know I didn't think it, really. I've got such a nasty disposition and I felt so down, and that was the only thing I could lind to throw at you." "Please please!" I protested. "Forgive isn't a word that I'd hare the right to use to any one."

Repertoire at the Phillips. It is expected that this week will prove the best of the three that the Eehel Desmond stock company has
) held the boards at the New Phillips.
having come upon invitation of Manager O. G. Murray to make a test of the popularity of combined repertoire and vaudeville. That the experiment has proven a success no one will deny for there has been both liberal and enthusiastic patronage accorded through the- entire time that the company has been here. This is due to the fact that the company gives a double bill virtually for the price of a single one, presenting a standard play with six vaudeville features for the same price that has been charged for vaudeville alone with the sinele exception that at the evening performances a limited number of the seats are held at twenty cents. For the first half of this week the bill will be "T'ie World Against Him" and for the last half, "Tim Girl from Nevada." These are two of the best plays in the large repertoire of the Desmond company. In addition new vaudeville features will be presented, including Ethel Desmond in high class singing. Frank Kel ley. illustrated song. Willis Van. sinking find dancing, motion pictures and the Fn'ese Sisters, singing and dancing. It appears that this week will be more interesting perhaps, than the two that have preceded. No repertoire company that has ever appeared at the New Phillips has made a more conscientious effort to please than the Desmonds and that they have succeeded goes without saying. Despite a considerable number of counter .attractions that will appear in the city this week, it is not anticipated there will be any falling off in the patronage but rather an increase.

old role of "Mary Tudor" is announced for the Gennett on April 27.
