The primary had, features which attracted nation-widattention. He hud ns opponents H. F. Buker, radical, Farmer-Labo- r candidate; Congressman Bat Kelley and John G. Emery, former commander of the American Legion. Each of these opponents made a special appeal, attacking Townsend for his vote to seat Senator Newberry of Michigan, an issue that crowded the others Into the background. The whole country wus interested as the Newberry case had figured In several state primaries If, Indeed, it was not the main Issue. So the result in Senator Newberry's home state was awaited with Interest.

General factotum In the house of her sister Ina, wife of Herbert Deacon, In tile small town ef Warbleton, Lulu Bett leads a dull, ciamped existence, with which lie la constantly at enmity, though apparently satisfied with her lot. She has natural thoughts and aspirations which neither her sister nor her brother-in-laseemingly can comprehend. To Mr. Deacon comes Bobby Larkin, recently graduated youth, secretly enamored of Deacon's elder daughter, Diana, an applicant for a "Job" around the Deacon house. He la engaged, his occupation to be to keep the lawn In trim. The family is excited over the news of an apvisit from Peacon's proaching brother Ninlan, whom he had not seen for many years. Deacon jokes with Lulu, with subtle meaning, concjytilng the coming meeting. e r, w understanding of the female character was sufficiently developed to cause him to welcome the Improvisation which he had Just heard. Perhaps that was the way It had been. Of course that was the way it had been. What a fool x he had been not to understand. He cast his eyes repeatedly toward the house.

It was Ninlan Dencon, Dwlght's brother. Every day since his coming had been announced Lulu, dusting the parlor, had seen the photograph looking at her with its eyes somehow new. Or were her own eyes new? She dusted this photograph with a difference, lifted, dusted, set It back, less as a process than as an experience. As she dusted the mirror and saw his trim semblance over against her own bodiless reflection, she hurried away. But the eyes of the picture followed her, and she liked It. She dusted the south window sill nnd saw Bobby Larkln com? round the house and go to the woodshed for the lnwn mower. She heard the smooth Mur of the cutter. Not six times had Bobby traversed the lawn when Lulu saw Pi emerge from the house. PI had been caring for her canary and she carried her bird bath and went to the well, and Lulu divined that Di hnd deliberately disregarded the handy kitchen taps.

"What's the use of finding fault with lnle? Where'd you been if she hadn't married?" Lulu said nothing. "What sny?" Mrs. Bett demanded shrilly. She was enjoying It. Lulu said no more. After a long time: 'You always was Jealous of Inie," said Mrs. Bett, and went to her bed. As soon as her mother's door had closed. Lulu took the lamp from Its bracket, stretching up her long body and her long arms until her skirt lifted to show her really slim and pretty feet. Lulu's feet gave news of some other. Lulu, but slightly Incarnate. Perhaps, so far, Incarnate only In her feet nnd her long hair. She took the lump to the parlor and stood before the photograph of Ninian Deacon, and looked her fill. She did not admire the photograph, but she wanted to look at it. The house wns still, there was no possibility of interruption. The occasion became sensation, which she made no effort to quench. She held a rendezvous with she knew not what. In the early hours of the next after noon with the sun shining across the threshold, Lulu was paring something at the kitchen table. Mrs. Bett was asleep. ("I don't blame you a bit, mother," Lulu hnd said, as her mother named the intention.) Ina was asleep. (But Ina always took off the curse by long I.)

A man came round the house and stood tying a puppy to the porch post. A long shadow fell through the west doorway, the puppy whined. "Oh," said this man. "I didn't mean to arrive at the back door, but since I'm here " He lifted a suitcase to the porch, entered and filled the kitchen. "It's Ina. isn't it?" he said. "I'm her sister," said Lulu, and un derstood that he was here at last. "Well, I'm Bert's brother," said Ninlnn. "So I can come In. enn't I?" He did so, .turned round like a dog before his chair and sat down heavily, forcing bis fingers through heavy, brown hair. "Oh, yes." said Lulu. 'Til call Ina, She's asleep."

Toll-ticlu- h "Cold Feet" Before, Not in the Game Why Is It that Mustapha Kemal Pasha, dubbed the "flaming torch of Europe," has through his recent military exploits brought about another ot those international crises in Europe? ! "All Caution," is the answer of Dr. James M. Fitzgerald, expert pbys iognomlst nnd character analyst of Chicago, after a study of a photoi graph of the Turk leader. "That Bounds contradictory. We don't usually expect whirlwind action in a man dubbed 'cautious.' But extreme caution, reinforced with certain accompanying qualities invariably breeds the most violently desperate action imaginable," explains the doctor. "Note the extraordinary protuberances of tills man's skull directly above the ears. That's the seat ot I caution.

There is a lively curiosity to know. For he's a bluff old sea dog and has bmg been known as Mie "stormy petrel of the nuvy." He's twice been publicly reprimanded for bis freedom of speech once by President Tuft for his memorable address In Guildhall, Ixmdon, In 1911, when he assured British naval officers that In the event of a war between Britain and Germany they could count upon the supKirt of the I'nltcd States.

For these remarks he was criticized by Secre tory Penny.

MESSAGE FROM FRANCE "To the Boy Scouts of America from the Boy Scouts cf France: "A scout lit u man whose mind is open to new Ideas, and who goes on his way unafraid ; he is also a knight with the firm conviction to aid other people at all times, und to do his best to make the world more happy. "France of the Old World Is the home of the knight; America of the New World, the home of the pioneer. What a magnificent Ideal we can present to the world la placing together the noble traditions which are ours!" The bearer of this message was M. Guerin Pes Jardlns, who represented the Boy Scouts of France at the recent Nutionul Conference of Scout Executives at Blue Ridge, N. C. Mr. Des Jardins is known throughout the length and breadth of his own country for his work for the welfare of boys, be is also prominent for his efforts to unify scouting In France and he Is the first man to be honored jointly by the three French scout movements for the mission of representing the whole scout body. The Italian and Belgian organizations have decorated him with their highest award, and in England be has been honored by receiving from Sir Robert Baden-Powelfather of the scout movement, the silver Wolf cup. M. Des Jardins brought warm and cordial expressions of the appreciation of tlie French scouts for their American brothers. He said: "The French boy and the American boy may differ as far as natural surroundings go, 'but at heart they are alike happy nd gny and lovable. The same splendid qualities to be developed and the same dangers to be avoided." When M. Des Jardins was complimented on his study of boy psychology, he credited our Amerleuu books on the subject ns the basis of his work. "I read these works and then I observe our own boys to see how they react under the same conditions as are described in your books. The exieriment proves the boy Is essentially the same everywhere. We, too, find 'the gang spirit' harmful, but thanks to our scouting, hoys are being now formed Into useful, energetic troops. Once In passing through a small town I hnd not visited for some time, and noticing the absence of Idle, loafing boys, I said to a little fellow nearby: 'Where are all the tough kids that used to be around here?' 'We ain't got any tough kids any more,' suid the lad, 'there's a boy " scout troop here.-fiow.- ' At the conference M. Des Jardins showed an exhibit of the French scouts' handicraft, and their version of the life and work of the American Indian. "Our boys," said he, "are perhaps more, enthusiastic about the Indians thau the American boys themselves. J. Fennl-mor- e Cooper Is eagerly rend everywhere by the French boy. Our lad are constantly trying to imitate the of endurance, courage and the Red Mnn. Sometimes they will set a goal in by not speaking for a certain length of time. That's Just to be like the Indian, who Is a man of few words. When a French scout hurts himself, he tries to bear the pain bravely, without letting one know how much It hurts. That, too, is un effort to endure bravely just as the Indians did. Indeed, one of the official scout tests in France is called 'the Indian test,' in which the boys are required, for Instance, to remain motionless for a certain length of time, just ns the Red Man would have done in the forests of old when studying the ways of the birds and timid animals of the woods. Other features of the test bring out the great virtues of these first Americans. In fact, 'Visage-Pale,- ' which in English Is "Pale Face,' Is a sturdy scout's term-oreproach for on unseontlike comrade. M. Pes Jardins says that the French boys are especially fond of the artistic features connected with scouting. At the French camps the boys compete In arranging floral decorations of their own design on the tables In the mess hall or outside of their camps. They like to beautify the Interior of their camps, too, with decorations which they mnke themselves. Tills summer at M. Des Jardins' camp a daily prize was offered to the boy who arranged the most beautiful decoration In the mess ball. So interested were tlieso French lads in this artistic work tbnt they would give up part of tlielr piay time to designing attractive centerpieces fpr the mess hall In small stones, wild flowers and moss. Often such slogans of appreciation as "Vive r Amerlque" Long live America, "Viva les Boy Scouts d'Amerlque" Long live the Boy Scouts of America, wonld appear worked In small white stones. Throughout bis siny in this country, M. Pes Jardins will be the guest of the American Committee for Devastated France. l, self-contr- 6COUT8 RUN EXCITING RACE I A inlnture automobile rnce by boy scouts for the "McGinty Cup" from Fargo, N.
