When ex-Senator James Reed ot Missouri, a fiery political figure, was selected to answer President Hoover at Des Moines, the Republican cam- paign headquarters recalled what ter- rible things he had said against Pres- ident Wilson during the memorable fight over the ratification of the League of Nations covenant. The De- mocrats and Roosevelt were assailed for selecting Reed, whom President | Wilson in his best invective had class- ed as “wilful.” But time heals many wounds. Politicians who turn their heads when they pass, can, a few weeks before election, grasp hands in a fervor of love Jim Reed now has both feet on the Democratic reservation. He is no longer a political Ishmael. There was a time when nearly every Democrat was inst Reed for his non-support of President Wilson, but 1932 is not 1918 or 1920. Republicans thumbed the records to dig up the political dirt about Reed, Now Democrats have delved into the record and Senator Norris, at Phila- delphia recently, briefed some unkind things certain Republican leaders now in the front trenches in the Hoover offensive once said about their chief. These effectively answer Re- publican solicitude concerning Mr. Reed's or Al Smith’s return to the fold and indicate that politics ope- rates about the same way in both camps. Representative Wood of Indiana, who is now urging the election of Hoover, Senator Norris points out on Jan. 13, 1919, made an especially vitriolic attack on the president. Among other things he said: “Now then, gentiemen may dif- fer with me with reference to Mr. Hoover. I think he is the most expensive luxury that was ever cynically.

I deny that we have an American at the head of this distributing committee. He is an expatriated former citizen of the United States and he has never found it necessary to be- come repatriated. . . . Those are harsh words and prob- ably more vitriolic than anything Reed ever said about Wilson, or Wil- son ever uttered against Reed. Then Senator James Watson of the same state attacked Hoover during the Kansas City convention. He made @ speech while the convention was in session in that city in which he said in part as reported in the New York Times: “I want to know where my friend Herbert Hoover stands on the tariff.” And that reference seemed to remind Senator Watson that Mr. Hoover had lived for 23 years in free-trade England, and he said: ym speaking again, as I say, with the greatest respect for him, but I want to know if Hoover's changed his mind on the tariff since he's lived in free England. If he has, he can talk, can’t he?” Again, in the same speech, Sen- ator Watson said: “And how was Hoover on the League of Nations? The man nominated next week must be so constituted he must set his face like flint against our entry into the League.” Further Senator Watson on, “We have come upon strange times. We used to nominate men because of what they stood for. Now we are asked to name voice- less candidates to lead us.” ‘These are sarcastic words from “Marse Jim” who is now battling for Hoover’s and his own political exis- tence in the Hoosier state.

Tony gives Fanchon $4,000 and reserves passage for her under the name of “Miss Smith” on an airplane chartered by the wealthy Mr. Eames enroute to New York. A fellow passenger, whom she had previously met on the boat coming from Hawaii, recog- nizes Fanchon. She is Evelyn How- ard. Evelyn is going to live with the wealthy Mrs. Allison Carstairs, an aunt whom she had never seen. Fanchon envies Evelyn flying to happiness, while she is trying to escape because she was Tony’s girl— Tony, who lied his way through life and whom she had innocently ac- cepted on face value. Fanchon con- fides in Evelyn about her love for Tony. The police are searching for Fanchon, “The Mystery Woman.” Fanchon’ asks Evelyn to enlist her aunt’s aid in securing a position for her, but Evelyn becomes aloof. The plane crashes. CHAPTER V Aiterwards, even at a time when she was harassed and harried by questions and urgencies, she was forced to confess she remembered very little of the period between the return to consciousness and her rescuc. She remembered coming up out of bitter seas, smothering, chok- ing. She opened her eyes aware of terror, aware of stinging pain. She was pressed in, she was hemmed down. A weight lay across her lower body. Hurtingly, she dragged herself free. The weight was—Eve- lyn Howard, lying prone, lying bloody across Fanchon’s thighs, Fanchon remembered dimly pulling, hauling, dragging herself, and the inert weight of the other girl—free. There were trees. Rough ground, No signs of a house. The storm was abating but the heavy rain still fell. The plane, a twisted mass of flung wreckage.’ Bodies. Carnage. Horror. Fanchon got to her feet. She looked down at herself. In one hand she clutched tightly, ironic incident, the pocket book with which Evelyn had entrusted her. Fanchon took a step forward, She was, save for a deep cut on her arm from the shat- tered window glass, save for wrench- ings and bruises and aches, perfectly and miraculously unhurt. elyn? The girl’s body remained where Fanchon, half unaware of what she did, had dragged it—lying at some distance from the plane.

The gas, she thought dimly, might explode, the plane go up in flames. It was raining, perhaps that pro- vided a factor of safety. She didn’t know, She only knew that somehow she must get away, must escape. She returned to Evelyn and half lifted, half dragged her body to a safer distance. She knew nothing, of course, of that treacherous stealthy leakage in the gas tank which had erase them, iooiking for a safe landing. Trees, Hills, rolling. A leaden sky and the pouring rain. She was soaked to-the skin, She sat down beside Evelyn, Evelyn, she thought, dully, was dead, There would be for Evelyn no happy reunion in the East with the aunt she had never seen. No luxury, no breakfast in bed, no pretty clothes, no happy times. Weakly. piteously, Fanchon began to cry. She felt something, some- thing that was pity, that was re- sentment at the waste of human life. the shattered envelope of their broken bodies, She looked at Evelyn. Shuddered and looked away. Why, she thought, could it not have been herself? Evelyn had something to live for. Evelyn had been flying toward safe- ty, toward protection. But she h self had nothing... nothing.

The idea came to her slowly. It took time to permeate. She sat huddled by the unconscious body of the other girl, rain beating down up- on her, Some distance away was the pitiful wreckage, the sights and terrors of death. Fanchon was alone, alone with death, under the gray skies, under the merciless rain, alone in a little hollow of ground between small rolling hills, hemmed in by tall trees.
