"The Love By MARION

THE QUARREL. Chapter 51. If, as some writer once said, a rhapter can be expressed in a single sentence, surely a whole volume cau be compressed Into a single look! , When Colin turned toward me, I knew that there was neither need nor use for any concealments between us. He knew everything all ready why I should pretend things were all right, when they were all wrong, and when . I wanted help and sympathy? The little smile faded from his face the queer, twisted smile that somehow carried an impression of pain with it. It was an odd characteristic of the little man this smile that merely twisted his mouth and deepened the lines of his face. I often wondered about it people who have been through great sorrows have this. Later,! learned all of Colin's story, and always fancied this odd smile was duo to all he had been through. "What am I goinrr to do about it, Colin!" I asked suddenly. And that broke down whatever barrier of silence had existed. "That is a hard question to answer," he said. "You are asking me how to reconstruct your whole life for you, Connie. I am a bad person to choose for such a job, having made a mess of my own." "A mess?" I echoed. "Why you are young, I suppose! I don't know your age?" "Thirty-five," he answered, and shrugged his shoulders. "That's young! You are already gaining a reputation among artists, and you have been been taken up by . the smart crowd, you paint expensive J portraits of them " "In which I must idealize the commonplace, make the old young, and the ugly beautiful. They would be interesting enough to paint, if I dared to do them as they really are." ; "But you ask $1,000 a portrait, and you need onlv to do a few to be independent. Then you can paint what you please." ' "Then! Meantime, as I am beginning to make a comfortable incomo, thanks to your help and to Gwendo lyn's, the devil of physical comfort is getting at me. I have no desire now to live in a cold garret and produce masterpieces of art that no rich man will ever buy, because the work is over his head to work for the love of working to starve In order to create a thing of beauty however, th?t' don't aggravate conditions. You arc doing all you can, it seems to me, and for a woman of your type, ycu are ' making marvelous efforts at independence. You are naturally the clinging sort, "Win the independent sort. Such type mixes as well as oil and water." My neighbor came in then and stopped the discussion. She was plain1 ly puzzled and made uncomfortable by the situation, until Colin explained again that Mr. Taylor had been unavoidably detained in town that night. Winthrop came home early the next afternoon. He was not, as Colin had predicted, in a good humor. He was feeling uncomfortable about the day : before, and this in itself was enough ; to make him cross. As he had antici ; pated I would be furious, he already ; as on the defensive. Colin had tactfully gone off on a Heart Problems Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl 13 years of age and am keeping company with a young man four years my ser'or. This young man has proclaim 4 his love for me several times, aut as yet I do not feel that I love aim enough to marry him and have 'old him so. But he insists on goins; with me and will not give me up. Do you think it is proper for me to keep :ompany with the young man as a friend. Do you think I will learn to I ove him, or should l drop his friend'hip, he certainly shows his love for me? IN THOUGHT. If you are frank with the young man and do not lead him to believe that you care more for him than you really do, there is no reason why you ; should not keep him as a friend.

We have been married a little more than a year. If he has fallen out of love with me so soon, it shows he never cared much." I said this slowly and quietly. It was only putting into words at last what I had thought for a long time. Strangely enough, I could say it calmly. "I am afraid your imagination plays too strong a part in your emotions," Colin said. "But I don't pretend to know. You understand Winthrop better than I can. I'll admit he does things that a man in love that I would not do if you were married to me if I were in love with you." "But what is the end of it?" It was the question I asked over and over again in despair. "I think the only thing you can do is to let time work out the answer. And in the meanwhile don't quarrel, was last night?" Win began. "Why should I? I suppose you went to a theatre or a party." "I spent the whole evening landing

What Is a Congressman? By FREDERIC J. HASKIN

WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 8. Is a congressman a legislator, or is he an errand boy, political agent, sightseeing guide, employment bureau and general adviser of the poor and needy? If it be conceded that he is in a part a maker of laws, then how many laws at one time is he supposed to be able to consider and understand, and from how many different points of view is he supposed to be able to consider and understand them? These are questions that a good many congressmen are asking them selves. The number of things that a congressman is nowadays called upon to do, besides attending to legislation, is enough to appall any strong man. Besides that, consider the number of laws to which he is expected to devote his attention. The popular theory or government in this country is that if there is anything the matter with anything or anybody, the remedy is to pass a law about it. We have piled up a mountain of laws, and each year the mountain grows more than it grew the year before. The faster it grows the less consideration does each of the laws get. The legislators who are supposed to be carefully considering these laws never heard of most of them. Whither does this process lead? In devising the American government, it is highly probable that the fathers of the country had no idea of the way in which the functions of some of the officers of the government would be expanded and degraded. They had the idea in their innocent bewigged heads that congress would meet once every year, each second u,,6 a. '""; devote himself to making laws. Some cynical present-day members of congress suggest that these wise old statesmen intended that congress should meet to prevent laws from being enacted at least too many of them. If this was their purpose, their successors i nthe halls of the national legislature, have failed miserably. As Once It Was A senator or a representative was intended in the original plan to be a dignified gentleman who would come, to Washington to deliberate over the j state of the union, and after sage! consultation with his colleagues, en-j act a few masterly statues which, would lay the foundation for continu-j ing the peace, progress and prosperity ! 1 of the nation. Naturally the halls ofj congress would be the outlet for more or less oratory by gentlemen who felt an irrepressible urge in this direction. This was expected, tolerated, and. if it was really good, applauded and widely quoted throughout the then narrow confines of the new nation. From the very beginning the scope of the duties falling upon the shoulders of those making up the American congress, particularly the lower branch, has increased steadily. The constituents making up many districts ICKORY garters

And I hate rain, and it poured all day and I couldn't bear the idea of coming back to this hole." "So you forgot the extremely awkward situation you' put both Colin and me in!' "But Colin's all right. Heavens, I like him. I am perfectly willing to trust" "What has that to do with it?" 1 burst out. "What will people about here say and think, if you stay in the city? It would be all right if there were a lot of guests here." "What wil my friends say about you adopting a washerwoman's screaming baby?" "I prefer not to discuss the possible gossip of your friends. And I prefer not to quarrel." "You seem to like it." "I don't even care enough about you now to quarrel with you," I answered. That was not true, but t hurt. And I meant to hurt.

The volume of law enactment takes so much time and has grown to such proportions, too. that rarely indeed can a member find time to devote to any private business or enterprise. The long adjournment of congress from March 4 until the first Monday in December is an almost forgotten thing. In the rush of present day affairs and for many years past it has almost always been necessary for the president to assemble the congress in extraordinary session to take up urgent matters which would not wait. In the midst of this rush, the members of the house have to keep in touch with affairs in their home districts in order thai they may keep their jobs, as election day for them comes every two years. Particularly at this time, with the inauguration of a Republican regime after eight years of Democratic ad ministration, there is a terrific amount of additional pressure on every mem ber of congress. Constituents, usually aiways "nieiong KepuDiicans, are seeking to dislodge the Democrats holding governmental offices and take the position themselves. The jobs for tne most part are in the hands of the executive departments, there are usu ally many applicants for each one, and thus the congressman is caught in the jam between the job and the appli cant, with little patience exhibited by the earnest seeker for a place on the federal payroll if there is any delay or failure on the part of his congressThe country congressman usually has a harder time than the man rep y Lighten your work with an easy gliding, deep cleaning PREMIER CLEANER 3 Days Free Trial.

resenting a city district. In many instances it is safe to say that very many city voters have no remote idea of the name of the man they sent to Washington to represent their district in congress. A great many do not even know the district in which they live. A man gets a package of garden seeds sent to him from Washington and in rare cases may note the name of the congressman up in the corner of the envelope, which serves in lieu of a stamp. This man often is loud in denouncing congress for wasting time and money and charging : it with inefficiency in the conduct ot the nation's business, but he doesn't take enough real interest in the matter to know who he voted for, if he did vote. If it should happen that this man wants something, though, he makes haste to find out his congressman's name, and writes to him as one of his ardent supporters, demanding this or that favor as a return for his support. He may want a job as consul at some remote point he has heard of, he may want to be a postman, or he may desire to come to Washington to lend his expert hand to the direction of the affairs of state. The man in congress -having a district which is not just a section of a large city gets a continual bombardment, however. The people in his district know who he is, and use their knowledge to the utmost. They make demands upon him by mail for everything under the sun, seeking political preferment, flower seeds, business advantages, passports, almost everything else that can be imagined. The mail deluge is sufficiently trying, but often these constituents come to Washington. Being entirely strange to the city and its sights, they do not scruple to depend upon their congress man as a guide.

must leave, and calling upon the man they elected as their representative to sit down and map out an entertaining and instructive visit for them while at the nation's capital. A tate of mind of the nation has come to add still further burdens to the bending shoulders of the average member of ' congress. The need for rapidly enacted legislation of all kinds during the war resulted in build ing up the conviction in many sections of the country that there is a legislative cure for every real or fancied evil that exists. In hard times, the ifaive suggestion that a law be passad to print more paper money is not unknown. Fanatics of all sorts pour incessant pleas upon congress for this or that drastic law enactment, dolefully foretelling the ruin of the nation if their demands are not heed ed forthwith. This year all of this is taking place in the midst of the important legisla-j tion which invariably follows a change; in the political complexion of the! party in power. The tariff is being changed, and the tax bill is being re-j vised. This means that every kind of business being carried on in the country wants to have its particular situ-! ation placed before congress, either with the plea that the raw materials essential to it shall be admitted to the country free of import duty, or that the finished product from foreign firms shall be excluded by a tariff wall. In the matter of taxes, it is but natural that every kind of business should seek legislation favorable to itself, and this year has been no exception. When it is considered that congress will be held responsible in large part for any degree of failure in the government's economy efforts, and that primary elections are impending in many states it becomes difficult to believe that the berth of a duly elected member of congress is anything remotely suggestmg a nea 01 roses. around a tempting lunch spread before them cold chicken, tongue and ham, olives, pickles, and, most tempting of all, fresh bread made from Valier's Enterprise Flour.
