The mere strength of mental bril liancy will bear the fortunes along tri- | umphantly to a certain point. If the disposition to be rebellious and over-1 bearing has been kept in check, the end of life will be prosperous; other wise the fortunes appear to succumb under the exposure of some scheming of double dealing.

THE WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY August 13, 1914 —Cotton interests are holding meetings in various Sou thern states to consider means of al leviating the effects of the collapse of markets and prices due to the Euro pean conflict. Empty-handed cotton growers to whom the war seems far away, are learning that no war’s effects can he kept localized. The war never will he fa raway from the United States. Appeals for Red Cross and Belgian relief are beginning. Every major line of production and commerce is feeling the recoil of the big guns. Solemn messages are comine for re latives of men who responded to the insistent call of fatherlands. Ameri can newspapers are devoting more space to the conflict than European ioumals. and their readers are see ing the war through the eyes of their reporters ... Piebald r>av»« Trvln S. Cobh.

Its embas sies and legations are attending to the affairs of Germany and other belliger ents. They are clearing houses of the whole continent for dispatches, mail, telegrams, money, prisoners, refugees. The sinecures of heavy contributors to party campaign chests, have be come posts of tremendous detail and responsibility. An attache describes the Paris em bassy on one of these days, “When I arrived today the Chancel lery presented an astounding'sight ... Hundreds crowded together seeking audience and counsel. Women sank down in corners of the halls or on stairs .weeping for loy to have found a haven of refuge. Scores of soverign American citizens stood in the busiest spots and protested with American vehemence against fate and chance. Each S. A. C. was remonstrating about a separate grievance. Most of them reiterated from time to time their severeignty, and announced to no one in particular that it was their right to see ‘their’ Ambassador” in person Ther demanded information!

GREAT DAYS Aug. 13, 1469 —Earliest appearance in historical records of William Caxton HENDERSON, (N. C.)

His the first book in English, was not brought out in England, and it is not understandable today. Recuell of the Historyes of Troy, printed at Bruges (then in Nether lands, now in Belgium) in 1474 or 1475, is in archiac English that only schol ars comprehend. Caxton translated the book from the French of Raoul le Fevre. As the title implies, it is the popular medieval romance of Troy. Aug. 13, 1818—Lucy Stone was born, one of nine children, on a farm at Brookfield, Mass., to which she return ed to live in her last years, when she was one of America’s greatest women Her father sent his sons to school, Silver Slippers^: CHAPTER SS DILLY started to speak, but Giles stopped her. “I can’t have her now. Perhaps I can never have her. And I can’t tell you why, Dilly. But this is what I think of life. Not as a scramble after vain ambitions, but as a serene and gracious thing, to be spent with the books one loves, with the woman one loves . . There were tears in Dilly’s eyes. “I know . . and after a moment, “that’s what keeps me contented here with William and the light. Our life isn’t like yours, Giles. And Joan wont ever have to do the things 1 do. Cook, and wash and iron, and look after my old hens. But I love doing it because of Wil liam and the baby.” They were both rather silent after that, and when supper was served, Giles carried in tlie big blue plat ter on which chicken with a rich gravy had been poured over the biscuits, and William joined them at the table and spoke of the storm. "If this keeps up, we shall be shut in by Thanksgiving." “I’ll start back as soon as supper is over,” Giles said. But he did not, and when he finally left the light house, the snow was whirling in a wild dance and the wind blowing great guns. All the way home he tought with the elements. But he loved it. He felt young, strong—a conqueror. Nothing mild keep him from Joan. She was his . . . and she would know it . . . Some day he would go to har . . . and when at last they were married, they would roam through the world, look ing for all the rare and wonderful books winch might be found by a man who knew. And then, coming back to his island, he would write a book about these books he had found, and she would sit beside him —a thrilling presence . . . This mood lasted all through the —then when Jose made ft trip to Gfgnitehead and brought back the mail, came the reaction. The little Granitehead local paper had copied an item from one of the big New York dailies. Miss Joan Dudley, the paper said, who had been spending some time in Maine, was sailing in F ebruary on a trip around the World. She had closed her house in Baltimore and her stay would be Indefinite. Giles was conscious of a raging rebellion. She was going around the World, and he would not be with her! Oh, what would she see of the things he might have shown her? There were old manuscripts in old libraries, old volumes in old monas teries, stories carved on stone before books were written. There were tombs that kings had built to the women they loved, oases In the desert with all the world away— gardens still redolent with the per fume o? long-ago romance. Joan must see these through his eyes— see them with him . . . And he was bound ... by a prom ise to a. man who wasn’t worth it. The scene with Drew in the little grove, as he looked back upon it, seemed mad and melodramatic. Why should he have promised anything, and having promised, why should he keep it? Drew had had no right to make conditions. There was no reason why Giles should not go to Joan and lay the thing before her. He had tried to save her the humil iation which Drew had declared would lie hers if Giles did not agree «• his bargain. He would have mar opposed her higher education. She. earned her way through Oberlin, then the only college admitting women, by doing housework; arid mastered an cient Greek and Hebrew —to ascertain whether Biblical texts used in argu ments against equal suffrage were cor rectly translated! A brilliant scholar, she was chosen by the faculty to com pose the valedictory essay. She re fused to write it because it was stipu lated a man would deliver it: it was regarded as contrary to scriptture for a woman to speak upon a religious subject in public; When she wed Henry Blackwell of Cincinnati, they had to send to anoth er city to find a minister who would omit the word ‘obey’ from the cere mony. Regarding merging of the wife’s name with the husband’s as a symbol of subjection, she refused to be called Mrs. Blackwell.. She allow ed her property to be sold by a sheriff rather than submit to "taxation with out representation”. But she thought women should wear skirts, and refused to adopt the bloom ers worn by other suffragettes.

Now, it is all very well for politi cians outside Louisiana to howl that it is perfectly outrageous for Senator Long to invade their various reals, with his Yellow Kid campaign meth ods, but the fact remains that they can’t prevent him from, doing it—and worse yet, they have to recognize that ried Rose. Well, if he married her now, it couldn t hurt Joan. And why should he let Joan slip away from him, when he might have her? Yet a promise was a promise. He knew that he would not break it. He was a prisoner, bound by chains of tradition, by gentlemanly codes of honor He had always respected the integrity of his word. He must respect it now. The world might call him a fool. But he had to be what he was. And Joan would sail away from him not knowing that his heart followed. * * * It was Penelope who had sug gested the sea voyage to Joan. ‘T can't quite face the thought of the cold of winter.” Joan had been apathetic. She would not have dared confess to Penelope how she hated the thought of facing anything . . . winter. Spring, summer- all the years to come. "I had thought l might open the house in Baltimore, and that you would slay with me.” *T should hate it, my dear.” Pene lope hail said, frankly, "and I thi/ik you would. It would mean a lot of entertaining, and you are not up to it.” “No, T’m not,” Joan’s voice had broken on that, and Penelope had patted her shoulder and had said: “Well, thiuk about the trip—the sea air and the sunshine would put color in your cheeks.” For Joan was as white as a lily. Penelope., worried about her, had talked the thing over with old John Leonard. “There isn't enough here to interest her. Bhe is putting up a brave tight but she needs something more than we can give her.” “Do you think she regrets giving up Hal lam?” “No. She’s glad. But she doesn’t know what to do with her life. She has money everything but she isn’t knit by any real ties to the people who were Adelaide Delafield's friends They mean nothing to her —and yet her position demands that 3he take her place among them.” "She’ll find herself in time,” the old man said, “away will be opened.’’ To neither of the two people who loved her, however, kad the truth been revealed—that Joan was long ing for Giles Armiger—for proof of his continued friendship—for proof, indeed, of his love. She was not perhaps aware what she wanted— but it was six months since her en gagement to Drew had been broken, and in all those months she had not heard from Giles. She had come, gradually, to a realization of what he meant to her. Her mind had dwelt on the days in the dim old shop, the night when he had sat in t.h« pavilion and had talked with her In the storm. She had leaned then on his wisdom and his strength; she had trusted him absolutely until the* moment when Scripps had spoiled everything. Yet, when she had iS'irned the truth, she had been swe»t away from him by the spell that Drew had put upon her. And now that spell was broken, she again wanted Giles —for her friend—she would not let herself think beyond that . . . At Christmas she sent him a note. But no answer came. She had said she would like to see him. Surely if the note had reached him, he would come ... So January came and in two weeks she would be off and away. And sudJenly one night as Joan lay in bed and the moonlight shone on the little ship, so that it seemed to sail (Cofn/rloht If Si, hi/ Central PrteeJ Who’d Have Thought It? when he does it, there is dangr that he will “gum” their cards disastr ously. He did it, for example, in Arkansas, in 1932. on a sliver sea, she made up her mind. If Giles would not come to her, she would go to him. She did much of her shopping in Boston and was to have two days for final fittings. It would be easy enough to run down to Granitehead —to look in on the old shop. To speak to Giles about books . . . She need not tell him why she had come —but when she looked in his face, she felt that she would know if he had changed. Farley came up from. Baltimore to stay with her at the big hotel. Tlie maid was then to go back with hir lo Main . to pack trunks and get everything ready. Farley would, of course, take the trip with them. She was not anxious to cross the sea*, but she would, of course, go any where with the child she loved. It was on the morning of the sec ond day in Boston that Joan said: "I'm going to run up to Granitehead to see Mr. A rmiger about some books.” She said it casually, though her heart was beating madly. “You’d better wear your fur coat.” Farley advised, “it wiii be bitter cold down by the water.” So Joan as she started off was beautiful in silver-colored broadtail, with a wide, warm collar and great cuffs of gray fox, and there was a little violet hat and violet bag. and a soft wool dress of the same color underneath the coat. She took the train down. The air was clear as crystal. The tide, com ing in, as they crossed the marshes, deepened the shallow waters until they were as dark as indigo against the red and brown of the coarse grasses. When she reached Granitehead, Joan walked from the station to the boardwalk, meeting few people and none who knew her. The boardwalk was deserted, yet it did not seem desolate for there was the flash and sparkle of the sea, and the sound ot it in & wild and glorious song. Joan, approaching the shop, was conscious of a thriiling exaltation. In a moment she wouid meet her friend, speas to him. see hi* facg ; and her heart would be stilled! Yet when she came to the door of the shop, it was shut. A card stuck in the window announced that busi ness was closed for the winter. So that was that . . . As she turned away, it seemed to her that the day darkened. The wind blew cold. She shivered in her warm coat- She walked to the rail and stood looking over the wide stretch of water. Somewhere out there was Armiger’s island. She wondered if he were at home —or had he gone far away—so far that she was for gotten . . . Below her was a floating pier. Now and then a boat came up to it. Cne of the boats seemed to bring passengers. It was in charge of a red-faced and hearty seaman in a leather coat and cap. If she asked him, would he take her to the island? It would be a mad adven ture. But why not? If Giles were there, she could talk to him of books . . . Ob, but why deceive herself? She would talk to him of more than books. Os their friendship . . . and of his letter. She had his letter in her bag. She would know ... if he had changed , . . and if he had. she could coma away . . . and he need not know what had been in her Uftart . . . (TO B£ OONTiNUKD) Mrs. Senator Hattie W. Caraway having been allowed to serve a year as successor to her husband, the late Senator Thaddeus H. Caraway, the Bowie State Democratic machine felt that it had complimented her about enough, and planned to retire her in favor of a choice of its Own. It was at this point that Senator Long introduced his ballyhoo into the situation, and, when all was over Mrs. Caraway was renominated (and sub sequently re-elected, as a mere mat ter of form) to serve until 1939. When it’s taken into account that to accom plish this result, Huey had to over come the opposition (never announc ed. but well known to everyone) of Senator Joseph T. Robinson, his party’s leader on the Senate floor and its vice presidental candidate in 1928, and to do so on Joe’s own home soil, it becomes apparent that the King fish is not an influence to be light dis missed with a casual “pooh-poooh”.
