You will kindly note that I have made jtiit seven comparisons and they are surlicient since they bring in the subjects always connected in the discussion of the "flapper." Did it ever occur to you, dear readers, that there are thousands and thousands of girls just like me (because I am no exception) advocating and not advocating the lime things? Did it ever occur to you that we are no different from the girl of yesterday? You will admit there were extreme types in those days, too. Just because President Harding dubbed us "flappers.'Ms that why we are looked down Vpoii? Is that why we are classed with all extremes?- Is that fair? Just try to find a little good in the poor "flapper." You ill find she's really not so bad, but just an ordinary human sort of being who is trying to have a little bit of harmless fun.

Letter Raises Protest, Mr. Butler pulls a letter from his pocket and sets back to tfie subject of democratic harmony. This was written by J. b.

In the letter Mr. McCarty urges all good democrats to get behind Bryan and Hitchcock and promises that the democratic daily press of. the state will support this slate.

AYRES Copyright, 1922. t(Miiaw4 tnm . Barry walked over to the table then ind helped hiimclf to I generous whisky. He felt rather as if he had been dreaming; it had been such a preposterous mterview. How. in the name of all that was holy, could he calmly appropriate the girl on whom Norman had set his heart? A girl whom he had never seen, and never wished to seel It was all rot to say that he was always a favorite with women all roll He thought sud denly of Agnes Dudley. He was practically engaged to her. He really wished to marry her. In the light of this new and monstrous ueeestion he forgot their little tiff; he remembered only that she was a delightful woman, and that he wished to have her tor his wite. His uhcle did not know what he was talking about ; the whole idea was nreoostcrous. He should re fuse, of course he should. There was no need to even think it over. As for his debts. . . . "A note, if vou nlease. sir! . - - Barry took the little note on ine tray and tore it open eagerly. ..... A - V. ,l..l,. !, It was from Asiies. No doubt she was as anxious as he to make up their little tiff; no doubt she wanted to see him attain. There was a little tilence. ' The seconds ticked slowly by; the maid at the door fidgeted uncom fortably. "The messener is wait- g, sir," she ventured at lasi. Barry roused himself with an ef fort. "No answer," he said, mecnan irallv When the door had shut he passed a hand across his eyes dazedly: he could not believe that he had read the little note correctly: "Dear Barrv I have been think ing things over since you left me this morninsr. sind I have come to the conclusion- that it will Dc oener for us both tor our trienasnip 10 end.

I hope we shall always be friends and am sure you will wish me every happi ness when I tell vou that Laurence Hulbert asked me to marry him last night and that I have accepted him. Ever your sincere friend, AGNES DUDLtY. When the first shock had passed little, Barry Wicklow flew into as fine a rage as a youne man could. He stamped round the room and kicked things about.

" This last recollection was gall and wormwood to owe money to the man who had cut him out, to the man whom Agnes was to marry I He would die of 'the shame of itl He would never be able to hold up his head again. He was naturally a hot-tempered man, and his Irish blood rose now to boiling point. He took his hit and a taxi round to Mrs. Dudlev'i lUi. He strode past the astonished maid with a face like She day of judgment, lie was in the drawing room brfore she could say word or stop him, and had slammed the door behind him, standing with his U4IK 10 ir. Mrs. Dudley looked up startled i. . . ti. . i . Muni nrr wnung isoic; men sne laid down her pen snd Wailed quiet ly. There was a little smite In her eyes, only Harry wss too blinded wiiii rage to see it. "I got your letter," he said, hoarse ly. He took it from his pocket, tore It across and across, and dashed the pieces down on the table. "There's my answer to it," he said ana my congratulations. II you prefer that little rat to me. marrv him, and welcome. I suppose you've ueeu playing up lor this all along, when you refused to come to the theater the other night. Well. I suppose I'm well rid of you, if that' all it's been worth." Hi voice broke a little for the first time. "I haven't got Hulbert's money, I know, but if that s all you care tor 'Harry!' She tried to stem the rush of words, but he took no notice He went on. passionately: "You're all the same, you women; you lead a chap on and pretend to care for him, and then you chuck him over, and leave him to get out of it as best rre can. I thought better of you. I mougnt you really liked me . mis voice broke. "Barry I" she rose from her chair now, and held her hand to him, but he moved back a step. "You talk the usual rubbish about friendship. What do I want with your friendship? I've asked you to marry me halt a dozen times, and you've put me off. Not a man in a hundred would have had the patience nave. But im through with it now. He paused a moment; he looked round the room With burning eyes, Hurt pride much more than a dam aged heart drove him on. I hope to God I shall never see you again 1" he said, violently. And he was gone before she could say a word or try to stop him. bhe stood auite still, listening to nis turious departing steps, and the slam of the street door; then she laughed. So he did care for her. after all. Well, she had discovered that at least, and it had been worth while. she loved him when he was in a rage. Lately he had been rather a tame lover. She was delighted that she had so easily roused him; the memory of his passionate eyes and stumbling words made her heart glow. He would come back soon perhaps that very night and then she would forgive him, and they would be married soon, quite soon. As for Laurence Hulbert! Barry was juite right, he certainly was a little rat! She picked up a portrait of Barry, framed in silver on the writing table and kissed if. He was a man, in spite of every thing. She liked his boisterous, blundering rages. She kissed his picture again. He would come bark. ul course he would. But out in the street Parry was striding sway at furious rate. He carried his hit in his hand; the blood was hammering in hi temples; he could not remember that he had ever been so furiously angry. Fooled, and by woman 1- He tried to remember what he had said to her, but could not. lie only hoped that he had not spared her He was quite sure that, whatever he dh said, he had meant it all. and a good deal more beside, lie ban let off steam, anyway, and was a I ready iccling- better. If he met Hulbert, he quite made up hi mind that he would tell Its sis exactly what he thought of the whole business. As for that money he owed the little cad Cold sweat broke out on Barry's forehead; he hated the thought of owing that man money; quite a lot of money it was too, which Hulbert had advanced from time to time. He realized that by now it must have run into sever al hundreds of pounds. Agnes would get to know of it, no doubt they would talk him over together. Barry ground Uh teeth; if he could only pay the little blioht er back! Uut it was hopeless to think of it! There was only hi uncle to whom he could turn, and lie Barry drew a long breath, his interview of that morning with Norman's father came back with a flash of il lumination. "You help me to put an end to this infatuation of Norman s, and 1 11 pay your debts and give you a handsome present as well." It was impossible, of course! But if only it hadn't been. He walked on more soberly. It was out of the question, of course; and even supposing it had been possible, Norman was his cous in; and to do a mean trick tike that He shrutrged his shoulders and dis missed the thought. Besides, what guarantee had he that this girl, who- cer she might be, would look at him? He knew that he had particular claims to good looks; Norman was thousand times handsomer. But deep down in his heart Barry knew also that there was a great deal of truth in what his uncle said that he was a favorite with women. The knowledge gave . him back something of his lost self esteem. After all, Agnes wasn't the only wo man in the world. He squared his shoulders. Anyway, it was a moral impos sibility to db as his uncle had sug gested; not that it was very likely Norman was any more serious over this girl than he had been over a dozen others about whom he had raved in the past. Norman had all the Wicklow fickleness. But deliber- tely to try to cut him out was too much. Barrv hailed a taxi and told the man to drive to the hotel where his uncle was staying. He would just tell the old chap that it couldn't be done at any price, that it wasn't any job in his line at all. The sooner t was finally settled, the better. He was annoyed to lmd Norman at the hotel instead of his uncle. He looked at him rather disagreeably. "Thought you were going away, he said, shortly. "I was I came back this morning. "Oh!" There was a little pause. "What do you want with the guv'nor?" Norman asked, suspicious- Barry did not answer, He picked up a nueazine and started flicking over it 4gr, Norman laughed cynically. "I suppose it's true, tlun?" he said, alter moment. x Barry glanced up. "What's true?" he aked, with a growl. "That the little widow has given you the go-by. I heard them talk, ing at the club this morning, and didn't believe it; but I suppose it's trueby the look of you." ' Barry sent the magazine spinning down the polished table. "And what if it is true?" he demanded, intently. "Foor old ofiapl" There was something mocking in his cousin's voice. "I never really thought you'd pull it off," he added. "She could see through you right enough, my boy; she knew that you found her money bags more attractive than yon found her." ' Barry flushed crimson. "You mind your own infernal business." he ssid furiously, "and get back to your dairy-maid." The words were a direct insult, but they were provoked, and Barry regretted them bitterly as soon as they were spoken. He would have apologized if he had been given time, but Norman caught him up at once. I suppose there s some excuse to ha made for vou. as vou've been jilted," he said, stingingly. "Rut I must say that Mrs. Dudley has more sense than I gave her credit for. I dare say she heard about the girl you were with in tne theater tne other night everyone else seems to have heard, and to have been laugh ing at you. It isn't likely Agnes was going to stand that." He looked at Barry with n surer on his hand some face. "Where did you pick her up?" he asked with a ikU'stablc inflection. farry was while t the lip nw. his life he hud stood a great deal from Norman, realizing their dit ferent positions, and how good Nor man' father had been to him. But today he was at the end of his en durance; today he felt that he could not stand his cousin's sneer and jibes. He made a furious lunge at him across the table, and missed. There was a moment's silence, then Norman broke out: "That's not the way to get your drills paid, my dear chap! And I suppose that's why you're here. If it's money you've come for. it will pay you to keep a civil tongue in your head. There's a limit even to what any father will stand, you know." Barry had pulled himself to gether. He was horribly ashamed of his los of self-control. He had never had aNserious row with his cousin hrfoie. It gave him cause for wonder now, as he looked at Norman's snecriiiB face, and for the first time in is liie saw the dislike that looked at him from the younger man's handsome eyes.
