III IU POLICY
Acceptance of Plan Would
Involve Abandonment of
Monroe Doctrine, Says
Senator Borah.
Washington, Feb. 16. Prediction
that acceptance by the United
States of tbt proposed constitution
for the league of nations would
mean the end of the Monroe doc
trine was made in a statement by
Senator Borah of Idaho, a republi
can member of the foreign affairs
committee.
"The instrument as a whole," said
Senator Borah, "requires much
study to know what in detail shall
be its obligations in case it is finally
adopted. But one thing is perfect
ly clear and that is as' it stands it is
a renunciation of the Monroe doc
trine. It distincly wipes out ajl dis
tinctions between European and
American affairs. We obligate our
selves to go to Europe and partici
pate in European affairs within the
jurisdiction of the league, and Euro
pean powers oblige themselves to
rome here and deal with western
affairs.'
"The Monroe doctrine is a person
al doctrine, as it were, to the United
States. We have never permitted
any one else to have anything to
say about it or be in any respect re
sponsible for its enforcement or non
enforcement. That is the distin
guishing and indispensable essential
of the doctrine.
"I apprehend that no one will
contend that under the sweeping ter
ritorial jurisdiction given to the
league the Monroe doctrine will not
disappear."

CHAPTER XXVIII.
Half an hour later, Forrester
heard his wife come into the bed
room and went in.
"How's the costume?" she said
hastily. He noticed in her eyes, as
they passed from his, a touch ot
alarm.
"The costulne is all right."
Morley, at this moment, went out
on an errand before she could think
to retain her. They were left alone.
He waited, and she waited for
the word of explanation that ought
to come. When the moment had
passed, he said deliberately:
,"You have nothing to say to me
after I have come a few thousand
miles?"
"I wonder why you came," she
said, with a rebclious flash. Hij
anger always awoke in her the in
stinct to struggle against his master
fulness " "You wish to know? I'll tell you.
I've come so that nothing should be
said against you, as there certainly
would have been if you'd given this
fete and I had been away."
' "And your name?"
"f have the greatest pride in my
sood name yes."
"His dignity he's always think
ing of that! It isn't because he's
jealous oi me I rould understand
that. It's just his vanity," she said
to herself, though, in a calmer mood,
she would have recognized the in
;jftice of this.
A knock and Morlev aoneared.
The jeweler wished to know at whaf"
hour madame wished the nec-klace
brought.
"Ten o'clock will be ttime enough,"
she said, a little CQnftised. She ex
plained hurridly: "Case and Fon
tencllc)are lending me a wonderful
necklace to go with my costume."
"Lending?"
"Oh, for almost nothing. It'll be a
great advertisement for them."
"I s-ee. May I ask you to wait a
moment?" he said, as she started to
ring for Morlcy. "I have come quite
a distance, and I am leaving early.
May I have half an hour's talk with
ypu uninterrupted?"
"Now ?" she cried in dismay at the
storm she felt powerless to avoid.
"Now? Don't you realize I have a
hundred things to attend to?"
"You are developing quite an ex
ecutive ability," he said, exasperated
by her attitude of evasion.
! She understood the allusion, and a
: flash of anger showed in her face,
j Luckily, one thought dominated her.
i Tonight she must be at her best. If
j she cried, her eyes would show it.
(At this moment a box arrived with
the wig from the coiffeur's.
"You see!" she said reproachfully.
"levari wait." he said, going toa
chair and sitting down.
Pignatelli, a stoop-shouldered lit
tle man, came in with profuse salu
tation. The trying of the wig con
sumed half an hour. She was so de
lighted with the effect that she gave
a cry of delight, -
"Exquisite!"
She felt herself transformed, so
radiant that hf. her husband, could
not resist her,, hi his pride at per
ceiving how beautiful she would be,
his irritation must soften. But when
she turned to him, there was the
same obstinate reserve in his eyes
whieli she could not comprehend.
N'o; it was not human to act as he
did.
Then, once more they were alone.
"Andrew. I'm in no mood to lis
ten. I'm. all, wrought up," she said
sharply. -
"Li regret it."
' "What!", she cried aghast. "You
wislr to make a scene now at such
a time?"
"Excuse me. It isn't I: it is you
who have made an explanation nec
essary. I left the decision to you.
You have sacrificed me to bring that
young Dawson into the house."
"Dawson! Dawson!" she exclaim
ed irritably. "Always harping on
that idiotic affair! Besides, he isn't
here alone. He's here with half a
dozen others because I'm at tny
wits end because every one must
help jue."
"Good heavens! Don't reason like
a child." he burst out in turn. "Face
the situation; understand the grav
itiy! Be at least a woman!"
She turned, feeling escape impos
sible. "Well?"
''I have left the solution to your
sense of delicacy, of loyalty, to de
cide; and you have done so."
"I have decided,' 'she said defin
itely. "What?"
. "That I will not be bullied by you
into doing unreasonable things.'
"Unreasonable? You regard my
request as that?"
"Exactly."
"In other words, you intend to go
your own way. regardless of my
wishes," he . said in his deliberate,
businesslike manner, which had the
power of doing away with her bet
ter feelings, and arousing a blind re
volt. 1
"That depends entirely on you."
"Your attitude does not surprise
me," he continued slowly. "After all,
Dawson is just an incident. How
many others there are, I don't
know," he said, with a shrug of his
shoulders. "The crisis has been com
ing on for aionths. The trouble is
that you ait not interested in my
life'. You do not care in the least for
my problems. I asked to you to be
careful of expenses and this fete
is the answer."
"Now that is how unjust you can
e!" she said, two red spots stand
ng out in her cheeks. "Who wished
me to give it, who suggested it, fiv
months ago?"
"Then I wasn't worried."
"Hut I couldn't give it up after it
was announced!"
"My dear Amy. you could do any
thing you wanted to. but you didn't
want to. The trouble, is, you don't
love me."
"No; that's not the trouble," she
cried angrily, for even at this mo
ment she recoiled from pronouncing
this tragic finality. "The trouble is
that you are heartless and brutal,
that you wish to order me about as
you do one of your clerks, that you
haven't any pity on me that you
are thoroughly selfish."
"I, selfish!" he said with a laugh,
that came back to him with its ugly
echo. "That is too much. The truth
is wejve reached the point most
marriages arrive at. We are utterly
apart and out of sympathy with each
other. We don't look at things in the
same way."
"It's your fault." she cried desper
ately. "Vc won't discuss whose fault it
is. The question is, what is to be
done?" '
"'Done?'?" she cried, opening her
eyes. "Are you actually going to
threaten nic toiow at this mo
ment?" "I am not threatening anything.
I am convinced that you are at the
present moment simply carried away
by flattery and adulation. I don't
believe for a moment that there is
anything serious. If I did " he
stopped, frowned at the leap of his
pulses, passed his hand wearily over
his forehead, and said, "But we have
pot come to that yet. At present 1
intend to protect myself."
"What do you mean?"
"I don't intend to wreck my life
because you refuse to understand.
In other words, in order to avoid
bankruptcy" he repeated the word
bankruptcy "I shall put you on
an allowance and insist that you
keep to it. For the next year or two
we will materially change our scale
of living."
Her nerves, long taut, snapped at
the vision of the future, which seem
ed the end of her ambitions. She
burst into tears.
"You come in and spoil every
thing you make me hate every
thing. You've spoiled it all now all!
And I was so happy!"
"Happy! (!ood God!" he thought
"When my heart is breaking! Whc
can talk to her who can make her
understand?"
He threw up his hands in the ai:
in token of defeat and left the house.
