The Rourke party, with their projected bad tenement house code, went down under an avalanche of outraged tenement voters. While the tension of fighting and suspense was on Cora went about tight lipped and controlled, even smiling, although a million nerves press- ed for outery, rest, surrender, the relief of hysteria. David, in the intense absolution of his own stress, was vaguely aware how game Cora was being. When the last election return that shouted “Victory!” came over the telephone David turned with shining eyes to Cora. “‘We win!” he cried. A pause while the news went through Cora’s being. Then Cora, the plucky, the contained, went to pieces under David's eves and in his arm With every other breath Cora apologized for her weakness. She even tried to get away to her room to be alone in her humiliating reaction. But David would not let her. In the cou of their married life nothing had ever touched him so profoundly as this moment of Cora’s surrender after victory. Somehow it made her seem immeasurably precious and indispen- able to him. They spent one of those unforgettable, intimate evenings to- gether, a *‘white stone’” night, which for depth and tenderness with well- mated man and woman far exceed a courtship experience. In the depth of her heart Cora felt sorry for the women of the de- feated side. She well knew that Mrs. Rourke, too, had gone through a siege, and that her tears and surrender at the outcome of the election had the bitterness of defeat to give them duration. Cora cven felt a desire to go to Mrs. Rourke and try to give her heart. But the blood of battle still boiled in David. at the polls,” he said, his face uppleasant with fighting gr break them in the courts. They have let themselves in for a ruinous slan- der suit and I'm bringing action at once. My lawyers tell me it's only a question of how much damage the verdict will award. And there may be a jail sequel for Mr. Timothy Rourke. And when I get through with him Carter Brett will follow up with another suit. If there’s anything left of them then, Dr. Hartley will bring suit for Wanda.” Cora’s spirit sank. She did not like this savage, David. “No, Davey, I won’t have you hunting vengeance,” she protested. “You've won. They're down. They're punished enough. I want you to for- get them.” David’s face grew almost ugly in expression, but not at Cora. “There are some things a man can never forget or forgive,” he said slowly. “If Rourke hfid fought me fair I would have stopped with the fin- ish of the fight. But to fight by throwing slime at you. at Wanda, at Rose Brett—to hit at me by striking at you! That sort of thing—isn’t nice.” He smiled saturninely, his eyes clouded at picturing his fingers closing upon his enemy’s throat. “David, if you won’t let up on them for kindness's sake, you to do it for my sake,” Cora said determinedly. “It's chiefly on your account that I'm going to make Timothy feel ex&eedingly sorry he hit at you. His newspaper attacks on sonal affairs were made largely to humiliate you,” David retorted. Cora’s entreaties went for nothing in the unpleasant half hour that followed. Gradually she felt a sense of separation from him. He sensed it in her and turned his resentment into still greater bitterness against Rourke when the bell sounded. “Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Rourke are calling!” the hallboy announced. “We've licked Tim Rourke ed. “Now we'll vindictive aspect of then I ask Rourke my per- Criticising Competitors ple who are always criticising and running down others are apt to leave. Every One Will Think You Are Self- Satisfied. You may not really be self-satisfied, but if you are dissatisfied with every one else and say so, people are likely to draw that conclusion. Above all things, it never pays to run down people who are in the same line of work as you, yourself. A certain writer h Jus received a stinging rebuke from the critics Le- cause, whenever she is interviewed, she has some criticism to offer of some one of her fellow-craftsmen. She May Not Be Jealous, But— Now she may be offering this criti- cism in the most impersonal wiy. She may fully value the good points of the authors whose defects he picks out. But only those who know her well enough to know that, will helieve it. Jealousy is an almost universal human fault, and the public is quick to translate criticism of one's competi- tors into an expression of it. How much good does it do you to run people down? None at all. And how much harm? That you can never measure. 80, when you look at it reasonably, what's the use? “You don‘t like her,” I said, “I can tell that by your tone.” The woman in question was from my own town. As a representative of a certain or- she had gone to another town and there had come into con- tact with an old friend of mine. I expected them to be friends and was surprised when my question in re- gard to her elicited no enthusiasm. Hence my challenge. It was not denied. She Began By Running E Down. ganization, y One “No,” admitted my friend, “I do not. I expected to, but it was this way—the very first time we met she began by asking me if I knew certain people who were active in the work here and by runing them down. There was Mrs. Knowles, I don't particularly care for her, but she is good-hearted, and I didn’t think it was up to a stranger to run her down. Well, Mrs. Mead couldn’t say enough about what a bore she is, and then she said she thought Mrs. Martin was loud, and Mrs. Holyoke was old-fashioned and narrow-minded, and so forth and so on. Apparently, there wasn't any one she really approved of except herself.” Not an agreeable impressio to give is it? _ But it is the impression whicl 1 peo- DON'T MISS THIS MOTION PICTURE SHOW Make a note of the fact that you have an engagement to see our motion picture show.

OUSE OF GLAS Sk HERE TOMORROW An early announcement of this season’s local theatrical calendar is | the coming of Cohan and Harris’ pro- duction of “The House of Glass,” | the play that holds the record of last | season’s New York protracted en- | | gagements. Opening at the Candler theater in the Metropolis in Septem- ber, “The House of Glass” entertained New Yorkers for a period of eight months, the run coming to an end ! ! only upon the advent 6f hot weather. ‘When Cohan and Harris announced | a play by Max Marcin, the theatrical | wise-acres suspected a ruse, for no- body had ever heard of a dramatist of that name. When the reviewers unanimously lauded &he piece the day following its opening, and called it “a welcome departure” in dramatic skill, it was revealed that Max Marcin was a youthful Columbia college graduate previously entirely unknown to the world of the theater. Since he achieved over-night fame through | this play, young Marcin has contract- jed to write pla: for half the pro- ducers in New York. Novelty in the er is the objectiv e provender and the dent desire of every patron of drama. This coveted element is said to account in a great measure for the success of “The House of Glass,” and in its treatment there is said to be more entirely new angles in stage-craft than have ever been seen in a generation. It tells the story of a wholesonse young girl whom fate casts into bad company and who thOIILh ardently responsive to whateve best in womankind is pursued by relentless misfortune and through a series of absorbing misad- ventures so tensely holds the®sympa- thy of the audience that the gamut of thrills is experienced and the dra- matist’s aim is attained in a degree exceeding by far that of any recent | stage offering.

ATS £ 687-693 MAIN STREET HARTFORD REVELATIONSOF A WIFE By ADELE GARRISCN - Why Madge Had to-Face the Need of Asking Dr, Pettit's Aid. “But how on earth are Wwe going to keep this out of the news- ever | papers The thought flashed inta my mind as Lillian so calmly rehearsed to me the terrible scene of the night before, when Grace Draper had shot Dicky and stabbed herself. Lillian had lcarned the details of the affair from | her husband, Harry Underwood, but for whose timely ald Dicky micht have been lying dead instead of L *ng temporarily disabled by a mere flesh wound. I put the thought Into a question and wondered at Lillian's hesitation in answering. “It all rests with Dr, Pettit,”” she said at last. “If he is willing to take the risk of silence, nothing need be Inown.” “What risk?” I asked inanely, and stopped, ashamed of my ignorance. “There is a state law,” Lillian ex- plained patiently, ‘“that physicians must report such occurrences to the proper authorities. Of course, if it were Dicky who were so near death, we should have to report the con- | dition of affairs at once, for then it ‘\migm develop into a murder case, and that is nothing to monkey with. But as lang as Dicky is in no danger whatever, and the girl seems better, we shall be able to keep everything quiet if Dr. Pettit wishes to do so. Betty has been with me years. I can | shut her mouth, and I think you ought to be able to manage Katie.” “But Lillian,” T persisted, “is that fair to Dr. Pettit? Are not the penal- ties heavy for dischbeying the law like that?” “I don’t think T should worry »bout that if T were vou,” she replied dryly. 'If there is ny possible way of avoid- | ing the awful mnewspaper headlines which this mess will surely bring forth, once the police and reporters zet hold of it, T for one will thank Providence and ask no quesions.” Facing a Problem. “I know,” I persisted faintly, “but Dr Pettit is not an old enough friend 1o do this for us. It isn't as if he were a family physician of long stand- ing, or a very dear friend—" “I don’t know that he is golhg to do it,”” she responded impatiently, “but he hasn’t reported anything to far. As for his reasons, I wouldn't imquire into them too closely if T were vou. Just let things go. It's much ' the best plan. Now eat your break- fast. TI'll come back for you when | you have finished it.” She left the room abruptly, and T | received the impression that she aid | not wish to discuss Dr. Pettit any | farther. As I ate my breakfast, I tried to face squarely the problem which the physician’s forbearance in rcporting the case brought to me. There was no use in dodging the jssue. From a hundred trifles I knew that Dr. Pettit was more inter- | csted in me than a physiclan or any other man had a right to be in an- cther man’s wife. If he was de- liberately failing to report this rnsof to the proper authorities, he was | doing it for my sake. | Did T wish him to do so? It humbled me to find that T ectually did not know. I always had prided myself upon my exactness of conscience. In the old days of my | life, before I met Dicky, right was | right, and wrong was wrong, and there was no convenient middle path hetween. But since Dicky had come into life evervthing had changed. All my standards had been swept I felt as if I were in a maze ay of doubt and bewilderment, On the one hand I felt, and strongly, that I did not wish to under any possible obligation to Bf. Pettit. He had shown too strong an interest in me to wish to be indebted tc him for any favor. I knew that tefore many days I must remove from his mind the impression he had cbtained that Dicky was the aggres- sor and Grace Draper the innocent victim in the flirtation which had ended in such tragedy. The Hour Arrives, Everything in his manner indi that he considered me as already separated from Dicky by a broad gulf of deceit and crime, and that he w. ready to try to win my regard when I should be free. I resalved that the next time I saw him I would an opportunity to let him know nitely that Dicky and I were more closely together than ever On the other hand, the prospect ‘of refusing to allow him to take any risk for me in suppressing Grace Draper’s mad act terrified me with it possible consequences. If the pitiless light of publicity beat upor vs, Dicky would be forever brandefl as an unscrupulaus rake, my own name would be dragged in the news- papers, and Grace Draper's reputa- tion would be forever shattered. I remember the awful sacrifice Lil- lian had made once to save Dicky from the consequences of her Rast husband’s mad jealousy of their per- fectly innocent friendship. Viewed in that light, my cansideration of Dr Fettit's risk or his attitude toward me seemed pitifully puerile. Lillan had given up her baby girl to shield Dicky. All I had to do wa to remain quiet, and allow Dr. tc keep the impression he had. I finished felt be ated make defl bound my breakfast, between two impulses. I I would have tc decide time, for just after Lillian left me I kad heard Dr. Pettit's entrance, awd knew that he was in the house As I rose from the tiny table, I heard Betty's shuffling footsteps, fol- lcwed by a firmer tread, coming toward the door of the room where I was. My heart began to beat faster; I felt that the hour of my testing was at _hand. For the. firmer Betty’s were those of Dr. still torn knew that within a short steps_ following Pettit Goodness, graciom, mer- cy me!
