Mr, Smith handled | the opposition without gloves and! especially the part which Mable Wil-/ lebrandt played in the campaign ot | 1928. Her activities in that contest | were such as to bting protests from fair-minded Republicans who abhor the injection of religious issues into Political campaigns. Naturally in re- trospect, Albert Smith spoke in rather bitter terms of this political trend. Now that he has gotten that off his chest for the purposes of this; campaign at least, more harm than | good can come from a repetition. | When bigotry and intolerance raise their ugly faces, fair-minded men of all parties resent such intrusion into the consideration of great national issues. -Almost with the advent of the 18th amendment, Mr. Smith took up cud- gels against it. Few have given deep- er study to the economic and political effects of the Volstead Act than the former governor of New York. He spose with authority and conviction on this great problem now before the American people for solution. Mr. Smith drew a fine logical dis- tinction between the Republican and Democratic platforms on the liquor question. He was right when he said that the Republican commitment at Chicago binds no one. This limita- tion in the Republican platform gives ‘ditures ‘brea Two Hundredth An-!an many issues. whom they do not always agree. lan “out” for any congressman who | wants to dodge the liquor issue: | “Members of the Republican | party hold different opinions with respect to it (18th amendment) | and NO PUBLIC OFFICIAL OR | | MEMBER OF THE PARTY | 1 Opportunity Knocks! SHOULD BE PLEDGED or forced to choose between his party af- | filiations and his honest convic- | tions upon this question.” i | | Mr. Smith puts his finger on the defects in the Republican platform by | calling attention to this fallacy in the | Republican position in contrast to the | \clear and concise position of the De-| mocrats which is an out and out re-/ peal pronouncement. President Hooy er, who dictated the position of his’ party on the 18th amendment direct- | ly from the white house, sought to/ face two ways to catch both the sup- | port of the wets and the drys. His/ fallacious position has been effective- | ly exposed by the Democrats in this! campaign. Far better had Hoover | stood by what he once called “the | noble experiment” and retained the [undivided support of millions who are ; honest and sincere in their unqual-! ified opposition to the liquor traffic. Here at least is an issue where there can be no justifiable compromise. | i | i Demolishing Buildings { In Chicago, New York and other large cities, property owners are de- molishing buildings to evade the pay- ment of ruinous taxes. Some rather large and important structures have been razed in New York.

Tony gives ‘anchon $4,000 and reserves pai sage for her under the name of “Mi: Smith” on an airplane chartered by the wealthy Mr. Eames enroute to New York. A fellow passenger, whom she had poviomly 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 has never seen. Fanchon envies Evelyn flying to happiness, while she is trying to es- cape 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- 1s in Evelyn about her love for Tony. The police are searching for Fanchon, “The Mysiety Woman.” Fanchon asks Evelyn to enlist her aunt’s aid in securing a position for her, but Evelyn becomes aloof. The plane crashes. Fanchon is the only survivor, CHAPTER V1 If “Miss Smith” had died Tony could never find her again, never come to claim her. If “Miss Smith” had died the whole dreadful time of panic, the hunted days, would be forgotten, would be as if they had never existed. Could not Miss Smith die? thought Fanchon, who lived. She looked down at her arm. Eve- tyn Howard said the small black letters sewn neatly on the handker- chief, small black symbols, avenues of escape. Evelyn was dark of hair, she had blue eyes—and her hair was dabbled now with a crimson stain, her eyes were closed. Evelyn was twenty-four. Fanchon a scant two years younger. They were the same height, the same slender build although Fanchon's figure was beauty itself and Evelyn's passable only, But Fanchon's hair was dark and Fanchon's eyes were blue. She thought rapidly, looking away from the other girl— If I go to New York—as Evelyn. Mrs. Carstairs does not know her niece. Could I play the part of—an imposter? In that case, Miss Smith would die; and Evelyn Howard would Tony would hear of Miss Smit death. . , She did not look very far into the future. She considered few of the pitfalls and dangers that would sur- round her. She was intent only on the present. On getting away—as Evelyn Howard on reaching New York and safety and security—- as Evelyn Howard... rain, not caring. Now that escape presented itself to her she began to grow frantic. To get to her feet; to shout, feebly; to run about in strange and aimless circles, avoiding always the carnage and the wreckage. Had she been able to help, to do anything, it would have occupied her, But there was nothing that she could do. She ook off the light coat, the tweed coat, it was soaked through, it was torn and muddy and blood stained. She laid it over Evelyn. She started to walk away. But there was no road. There was no path. She was lost as if she were in a de- sert and she was alone, She struck out away from the thick circle of trees and struggled to the top of a small hill. Smoke stained the sky, far off. There must be a town there, sooner or later there must be a road. She would walk as long as she could. She stumbled along, through un- derbrush, Trees would hem her in, trees would part and let her through, there would be a stretch of open ground. The tears fell; her eyes were blind with them, She was thinking, fran. tically. Dare I. . .? shall 1 but 1 must! Death and disaster had arranged for her an amazing escape. If she dared go through with it. Did she care? She would. Anything rather than to be hunted from pillar to post; dreading every stranger; shrinking from every uniformed representative of the law; fearing to see Tony again. If Tony once found her he would never let her go; only because he loved her, because he desired her and had kept that desire in check, but because now, she knew too much. She was, in her own person, irre- vocably committed to Tony. If he found her, if he demanded that she would have no peace, could feel no safety. Tony was, she now knew, crafty, vindictive, king from the dark, concerned only with the. dan- gerous, selfish laws he had made and with no other. But in the person of Evelyn How- ard, with “Miss Smith” dead, she was safe .., for all time... from Tony and his ardour, his suspicions and, his demands, She had been walking, how long —? ten minutes . . twenty min- utes? half an hour—? when the rescue party found her.

She ran toward the blessed sound of human tones, hu- man footsteps. She called. She sobbed, she beat her hands together. ‘The men came ‘suddenly out into the clearing and Fanchon stumbled and fell helplessly into the arms of the leader. “I must not faint,” she thought, and struggled violently rback to life. “I can't faint now.” “It's a woman!” one said blankly, swearing with astonishment, She said, choking— “All dead—but me—” she pointed, her hand shaking, in the direction from which she had come. The majority of the men went on, hurrying with their stretchers, their useless paraphernalia of mercy. Two stayed behind with Fanchon. She answered their questions and as steadily as she could. herself falling into darkness. of them caught her as she fell. When she recovered conscious- ness, they were all there, standing about her.
