“I got a joke. Grandma Gales
says it’s all over town Di and Bobby
Larkin eloped off together today.
He!” The last was a single note of
laughter, high and brief.
The silence fell.
“What nonsense!”
said angrily.
But Ina said tensely: “Is it non-
sense? Haven't I been trying sand
trying to find out where the black
satchel went? Di!”
Di’s laughter rose, but it sounded
thin and false."
“Listen to that, Bobby,” she said.
“Listen!”
“That won’t do, Di,” said Ina. “You
can’t deceive mamma and don’t you
try!” Her voice trembled, she was
frantic with loving and authentic
anxiety, but she was without power,
she overshadowed the real gravity of
the moment by her indignation.
“Mrs. Deacon—" began Bobby, snd
Dwight Herbert
stood up, very straight and maz:ly
lLiefore them all.
But Dwight intervened. Dwight,
the father, the master of his house.
Here was something requiring him to
act. So the father set his face like
a mask and brought down his hand
on the rail of the porch. Tt was as
if the sound shattered a thousand
filaments—where?
“Diana!” his voice was terrible,
demanded a response, ravened among
them.
“Yes. papa.” said Di, very small.
“Answer your mother. Answer pe,
Ts there anything to this ahsvrd £3309”
“No, papa.” said Di, trembling,
“Nothing whatever?”
“Nothing whatever”
“Can you imacin® bow such a
dieulous report started?”
“No. papa.”
“Tory weil. “Now we know wiere
i-
we are. If anyone hears this report
reneated, send them ‘to me.”
“Well, but that gatchel—” said Ina,
to whom an idea manifested less as a
function than as a leech.
“One moment,” said Dwight. “Lulu
will of course verify what the child
has said.”
“it you cannot settle this with Di,”
sald Lulu, “you cannot settle it with
me.”
“A shifty answer,” said Dwight.
“You have a genius at misrepresent-
ing facts, you know, Lulu.”
“Bobby wanted to say something,”
said Ina, still troubled.
“No, Mrs. Deacon,” said Bobby,
low. “I have nothing—more to say.”
In a little while, when Bobby went
away, Di walked with him to the gate.
It was as if, the worst having hap-
pened to her, she dared everything
now.
“Bobby,” she said, “you hate a lie.
But what else could I do?”
He could not see ‘her, could see
only the little moon of her face, blur-
ring.
“And anyhow,” said Di, “it wasn’t
2 lie. We didn’t elope, did we?”
“What do you think I came for to-
night?’ asked Bobby.
The day had aged him; he spoke
like a man. His very voice came
grufly. But she saw nothing, sof-
tened to him, ylelded, was ready to
take his regret that they had not
gone on,
“Well, I came for one thing,” said
Bobby, “to tell you that I couldn’t
stand for your wanting me to lie to-
day. Why, Di—I hate a lie. And now
tonight—" He spoke his code gl-
most beautifully. “I'd rather,” he
said, “they had never let us see each
other than to lose you the way I've
lost you now.”
“Bobby!”
“It’s true.
it.”
“Bobby! Tl go back and tell them
ally
“You can’t go back,” said Bobby.
“Not out of a thing like that.”
! dhe stood staring after him She
heard some one coming and she
turned toward the house, and met
Cornish leaving.
“Miss Di,” he cried, “if you're go-
ing to elope with anybody, remember
it's with me!” ~~
Her defense was ready—her laugh-
ter rang out so that the departing
Bobby might hear.
When Di had gone upstairs, Ina sald
to Lulu in a manner of cajoling confi-
dence:
“Sister,”’—she
We mustn't talk about

mar—“why did you and Di have the |
black bag?”
So that after all it was a relief to
Lulu to hear Dwight ask casually:

For Congress, Elisha Kent Kane
Opposes Two-party System.
Under the many-party system, par-
ties rise to push great issues, win or
lose, and disband. Under the two-
party system they contend for public
offices on the principal that “To the
victors belong the spoils.” Naturally
they frame issues and make nomina-
tions to secure the changeable votes
of classes and associations who put
selfish interests ahead of general wel-
fare. Sometimes platforms are fram-
ed and candidates nominated to please
rich people who will pay for an ex-
pensive campaign. Coal, oil and steel
barons, railroad magnates, interna-
tional unions, and even the dirty
liquor traffic, thus at times have
thwarted the will of the majority of
citizens. Extreme or oppressive laws
result and public indignation, stimu-
lated by some other monied or class
interest forces a complete change of
party power, changing tariffs, bank-
ing plans, taxes, or transportation
systems hold up business and throw
men out of work.
The caucus is another evil fruit of
the two-party system. Congress is no
mere debating society or school of
speech making. Its vast work is per-
formed through committees on all sub-
jects of importance. The party in
power gets a majority of each com-
mittee; the other gets a minority.
Then, instead of getting together, they
caucus separately, and the lesser par-
ty has no say. The caucus, a party’s
members of the whole House, is still
worse. To its decisions every mem-
ber surrenders his freedom of action.
Party bosses crack the whip and he is
driven. Of course extreme measures
result. Constitutional amendment
ought to make the Senate a house of
proportional representation. Until
then, we can help matters by electing
Congressmen of independent mind
who will refuse to be caucus bound
and will be servants of the whole peo-
ple. T’ll be no rubber stamp for any
person, party or interest. I shall be
resolute, but never quarrelsome. I
have ideas of my own, but my mind is
open to welcome those of others. The
House contains statesmen who are like
great stones for nation-building. Use
me for cement to hold them together.
At election my name will show with
the Prohibition title only. I can be
impartial and free of caucus or finan-
cial control. Excepting $100 from a
friendly prohibitionist, my expenses
are paid by Mrs. Kane and myself.
Our object is to do our share in bet-
tering the laws and customs of the
beloved nation which has made us
free, safe, prosperous and happy.
2 ELISHA KENT KANE
“Political Adv.” *
A Shabby House or a Shabby Mind.
Haven’t you been in houses where
lovely flowers stood all about, and
everything was spick-and-span, but
the library table was strewn with pa-
pers and magazines of the trashiest
description? Is it a good thing to
have the furniture of the house the
best that money can buy, and to fur-
nish the mind with silly and disrep-
utable things in the way of reading?
Better by far have a shabby house
than a shabby mind. The shabby fur-
niture can be burned or sold, but what
can be done for the shabby mind?
Use The Youth’s Companion to fur-
nish your mind, and wherever you are
—in plain but immaculate rooms or

be at home. Try The Companion for
