"Well-Attended" Meeting of Citizens Was Not So Large

SEVEN FAI VIEW VOTERS Were there and heard Mr Bavia, and his. :GAS THEORIES. Paul Beckett, a lawyer who Wanted to be CITY JUDGE was Also there, and TALKED. LAWRENCE HANDLE Y also Helped swell the "crowd." Revelations BY ADELE HOW MADGE WELCOMES DICKY. HER PLAN. I awoke unusually early upon the morning after Dicky's all-night revel to an overwhelming sense of trouble somewhere. For a moment or two I could not understand what had happened. Then I realized that Dicky had not yet come home, and that until I bad gone to sleep about 3 o'clock in the morning I had had a most anxious and exciting time. I arose, dressed hastily, although the throbbings in my temples warned me that I probably would have to undress again after a while. 1 recognized the first symptoms of another day of my nervous headaches. Then I went to Dicky's room, turned down the cover of his bed and laid his pajamas across the foot of the bed. As I took the night latch from the lock of the living room door I though of the preparations for coffee which Katie had made in the kitchen. Very softly. so as not to awaken her, made the j conee, iook a cup mysea 10 sieaay my ; tingling nerves, put the pot back upon the small warming burner, came back to the living room, lighted the gas grate and sat down before it. again to wait, as I had .done so many times in the last 12 hours. I did not sit long, however, for in a few minutes the door opened and Dicky came in. I went over to him and shook him gently, "Dicky, are you ill" My voice was sharp with anxiety despite Katie's assurance of the evening before that they came home so "seeck." He opened his eyes and looked at me vacantly. "That you, Madge?" he said, and closed his eyes again. "Dicky," I repeated more sharply. "Listen to me. Are you ill" I have some hot coffee ready for you." He opened his eyes again. This time there was anger in them. "No, I'm not ill," he snaried. He seemed to have- great diff lenity in getting his words out. "Let me alone. I'm going to sleep." "Dicky!" I commanded sternly, using the same tone as I would to a naughty child, "drink this at once, and then go to bed and sleep there." The ruse succeeded, although I was afraid it would not. He opened hl3 eyes, seized the cup and drank its contents.' As I took the empty cup from his hand to set it on the table he put his arm around me. "You're a good little scout" to a beast like me." he said feebly. "I'll tell you all about it when . I get up. I've got to go to sleep now." He arose, still leaning oh me, and walked unsteadily to his room. He made a futile effort to remove his overcoat. Helplessly he turned to me, and I slipped it off for him. He sat down upon the side of the bed. and after much fumbling, and with my assistance in untying his cravat, managed to get his collar off. Then he stooped to his shoes but in a moment gave it up and to my dismay threw himself back upon the bed and closed his eyes. To all my entreaties to finish undressing and go to bed properly he murmured sleepily: "Let me alone," or said nothing at all. I saw that there was no rousing him. so with some difficulty I unfastened his shoes and took them off. got off his coat by dint of rolling him from one side to the other, covered him up warmly, opened the window, pulled down the shade and left him to his sodden slumber. I -went back to the living room to think things out, and plan my course of action toward Dicky when he should awaken tohimself. j I never have been a tolerant woman. I I acknowledge it with shame, but the! fact remains. And the thing toward which I have held the most intolerant attitude Is that which I was facing. Besides my unreasoning fcorror of a drunken man, a feeling which I never have been able to conquer, I always have had the utmost coterrpt for one so weak as not to be able to control their indulgence in liquors. All at once I realized that this must be the way a mother felt toward a child which had grieved her, the same tolerance for faults, the same gratitude for the first sign of a better foiling up on the child's part. I know now how I ehould meet Dicky when he awoke to himself, with no reproaches, no contempt, only a warm welcoming tenderness for the repentance I knew would be his. With my decision came the knowledge that if I did not go to steep at once I would not be able to greet Dicky when he awoke. My head was aching frightfully. I went to Katie's door and roused her. Worn out by. her vigil with me she had slept beyond her usual time of arising. "I am going to bed. Katie, and you must not disturb me until I call unless Mr. Graham awakens and asks for me. I have a very bad headache, and you must not call me for anything. If any one comes or calls up on the telephone take the message, tell them I am ill and will call them when I am able to do'so. I will take this little bell with me, and when you hear it ring bring me a cup of tea. If Mr. Graham wants anything, waken me, but for nothing else." "Mr. Graham, he home? He asleep?" "Yes," I answered, filling a glass with water and starting for the other room. "Den he not wake up till almost

I telephone salt mack-er-el, dat all he eat after he drink so mooch just salt mack-er-el, toast and coffee. I know. Vat you want?" "Don't talk to me cf food, Katie," I said, with a shudder. "I'll have whatever you get for Mr. Graham. You must see to everything today." I went to my room, and the nerves of my head took a fiendish revenge for the way they had been misused. For hours I suffered, then the powders I took lessened the pain, and I rang for Katie. She came, wide-eyed and silent, evidently frightened by the suffering she saw on my face, bringing the tea for which I had asked. I drank it and went to sleep, not to awaken until nearly night. When I did open my eyes they fell on Dicky, seated by the side of my bed, watching me. As my eyes met his, he knelt down and gathered me close to him. "Little sweetheart," he said brokenly, "I've been a brute to you. Can you ever forgive me? You'll never have to" But I stopped him. I did not want to protest that I never would have to forgive him again, for it was given me to know in that moment that I would have other experiences like this to go through. Above everything also, I did not want a reconciliation scene. "Let's not talk about it. Dicky," I said, returning his kiss.

Indiana Basketball

Meet to Bloomington INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 1. The an nual state- high school basket ball tournament will be held at Bloomington at the close of the present basketball season. Lafayette, through Purdue university, made a strong tight for the tournament. The board of control and members of the Indiana high school association roted 89 to E6 in favor of Bloomington at noon. The tournament will be held in the Indiana university gymnasium.ing to pretend I did not suffer over It, for I did, but it's all over now. Of course I forgive you, and I'm hungry. Has Katie supper ready?" Dicky-looked at mo curiously, then threw back his head with a laugh. "You are certainly a brick. Madge." he said. "My own bully little wife." he added tenderly, as he kissed me again. "I'm going to surprise you. You shall have that allowance thing each week if your heart is set upon it, and if you still feel that your scruples compel you to take in washing or lecture at woman's clubs I'd just as soon have you do one as the other, for my partwhy go ahead." He left the room, and I looked after him with a sinking of my heart. I should have been elated at winning fsom him without a. struggle everything I had been fighting for, but Instead I was curiously depressed. Dicky had not acceded to my wishes because he thought they were right, but because he was ashamed of something he had done. I had been fighting for principles-that were part of my life. He had tossed me my victory as the price of my leniency toward his shortcomings. Was my life always to be a compromise like this? JAMES RAMSEY DIES DELPHI, Nov. 1.
