SYNOPSIS.
: ' Gloria Kerr, a motherless girl, who has
I wpeiit most of her life in school, arrives
sat her father’s home in Belmont. David
Kerr is the political boss'vof the town,
. :and is anxious to prevent his daughter
; learning of his real character.
CHAPTER I.—Continued.
The arrival of Gloria’s trunks put
3in end to further conversation, as she
went to superintend their unpacking.
Long after she had gone, David Kerr
sat gazing into the fire. Many a time
he had sat in that room and planned
each move of a political campaign
from its inception to final victory and
’had seen those plans carried out to
the letter. But here was a campaign,
if he should undertake it, which would
be different. He would not be fighting
on his own ground where he was sure
of himself; and into it would enter
•those unknown, unstable factors
women.
Kerr was proud of his daughter.
He recognized that she deserved to
(associate with the best families. If
ishe was to remain in- Belmont he
would see to it that she had a social
position which would be above cavil.
This much decided, there came the
-question of how it could be brought
to pass. The fire had burned low in
the grate before he had considered all
sides of the question. When he rose
Irom his chair and went to the tele-
; phone he had determined upon the
■only course which would have as its
result the launching of Gloria as a
^debutante in Belmont’s exclusive cir-
' -cles.
Great was the surprise in the box
office of the Belmont opera house
when there came from David Kerr a
request for a box. He telephoned to
set it aside for him, that he did not
■'■< know whether or not he would use it,
-hut that he would send a check for
the amount in the morning. The
much flustered treasurer stammered
that he would be most happy to put
the box at Mr. Kerr’s disposal and
have him as a guest of the theater,
but Mr. Kerr inquired the price of
..the box and closed the conversation
-*epca.ting(, .that’ he would send a
check for the amount in the morning.
And great was the surprise of the
servants when at dinner the master
■of Locust Lawn appeared in evening
lifea.__clothes.

CHAPTER II.
The English surpass Americans in
at least one respect; they have learned
as a nation far better than has this
newer country the possibilities of a
-dinner party. Perhaps it is their high-
er developed social system, more like-
ly it is the general interest which is
taken in governmental questions,
■which gives the dinner table an im-
portant, if unofficial, place in political
life. A brilliant hostess, with heart
and soul wrapped up in her husband’s
advancement, can do much to aid him
•as he toils up the ladder of political
preferment by gathering at her board
the leaders of her husband’s party and
also prominent men of the opposi-
tion. One need have only a super-
ficial knowledge of American politics
and American leaders to understand
why this is not generally possible
here. But there be some here, taking
•a leaf from England’s book, who make
the dinner party serve purposes not
apparent to all the guests. Judge
Amos Gilbert was one of these.
Fond, ambitious mothers held up to
their sons as an example the rise of
Amos Gilbert from an humble home
In a frontier village to a position as
the leading corporation lawyer of Bel-
mont. He represented the electric
light company, the street railway
company, the water company and the
stock-yards company. A person with
an analytical turn of mind, after
studying a list of his clients, might re-
mark that each and every one, indi-
vidual, partnership or corporation,
could be favored by some political
turn or damaged by some political
machination. They found it better to
employ Judge Gilbert than to trust to
luck that all would go well.
All day Judge Gilbert had been try-
ing to get in touch with David Kerr
by telephone. Kendall, wrho repre-,
sented the Chicago packers, had been
called back to that city and was anx-
ious to see Kerr before he left that
night. Failing in this, Gilbert could
make no definite promise as to Mr.
Kerr’s attitude on certain preposi-
tions set forth by the astute Chicago,
lawyer. On his own authority he did
say, however, that the master of Lo-
cust Law’n was interested in watching
the Belmont News develop its new
policy under the new owner and ed-
itor who had managed to secure con-
PREPARED PLAYS WITH CARE
Memoirs Show Sardou to Have Been
One of the Most Painstaking of
Writers for the Stage.
"More than once in his letter and
pamphlets Sardou has described his
methods of work,” says Jerome A.
Hart in his ‘‘Sardou and the Sardou
Plays.” “Whenever an idea occurred
to him he immediately made a mem-
orandum of it. These notes he classi-
fied and filed. For example, years be-
trol of the sheet without Kerr’s knowl-
edge. That Kendall might see for him-
self and meet on friendly ground the
new and disturbing factor in Belmont
politics, Judge Gilbert invited Joe
Wright, the new owner of the paper,
to dinner. It was just by accident,
apparently, that Mr. Kendall had been
picked up at almost the last minute.
The only others present were Dr.
and Mrs. Hayes. Sam Hayes, a ris-
ing young physician and surgeon, was
coroner of Belmont county, an office
which his society friends joked him
about, but one which Hayes recog-
nized and accepted as a political step-
ping stone. Then, too, it gave him op-
portunities to repay his political
friends. David Kerr liked to have
such young men hold office.
Dinner over, Gilbert and Kendall
withdrew to the library for a final
conference over the stock-yards situa-
tion. Again they tried to telephone
David Kerr, only to receive the in-
formation that he was not at home.
“You really think the Belmont
News having been bought by this out-
sider,” queried Kendall, “puts a dif-
ferent aspect on the present situa-
tion?”
“Judge for yourself,” answered the
Belmont attorney. “I had Mr. Wright
to dinner tonight so that you could
meet him without arousing his suspi-
cions. I wanted to help you that
much.”
What Kendall really thought he evi-
denced by his indirect reply.
“I don’t blame Dave Kerr for being
angry because Wright slipped in and
bought the paper.”
For a minute or more the two men
smoked in silence. Kendall was won-
dering what he could say to his Chi-
cago principals which would make
them understand that Belmont was
not now the Belmont of the old days,
that although to all appearances it
was the same the practiced eye could
detect the vague unrest which per-
vaded it.
Judge Gilbert had been too long in
the harness to wince at a corporation
request for the vacation of a principal
thoroughfare and a public park, but
he was tired of the long fight for
grasping masters whose one demand
was always for more, more, more.
And yet he had no sympathy with
such men as Joe Wright. He had
made up his mind, however, that he
would not aid the company in this
new franchise grab. He was partly
led to this conclusion, all unconscious-
ly, because he knew David Kerr was
not betraying any interest in it.
“The river eats up our tracks on the
west,” protested Kendall. “The stock-
yards’ll never be safe while we de-
pend on the one line.” Then he added
with emphasis, “We must come down
Maple avenue on the east and use
Benton Park for switching yards.”
“It can’t be done.”
“It can be done. Dave Kerr can do
anything he pleases. He’s the abso-
lute boss of Belmont.”
This was said with. such a tone of
finality that Judge Gilbert saw no
need of replying. He knew that Kerr
was the absolute boss of Belmont.
There flashed through the minds of
both men the thought that the Bel-
mont News might have something to
say. It couldn’t prevent a franchise
being passed, of course, but publicity
at times was unpleasant. This was
something Kerr did not court, Gilbert
knew. He was the easy boss, letting
every one have a share of the spoils,
and thus all were satisfied. Few in-
deed had been the times when the
town had attempted to revolt.
“You’d have the whole town up in
arms,” remonstrated Gilbert.
“They’ve been up in arms before.
Once they brought ropes to hang the
council, but Kerr put through the
water works deal. You’re the attor-
ney for the street railway company;
you know what he did there.”
“Yes, yes I know,” Gilbert admitted
hastily. Then with a sigh of relief,
“That’s all past.”
He ran his hand through his hair,
gray long before the frost of age
could come to silver it, and was
thankful that such episodes. were
things of the past. He was weary of
it all. Kendall’s next remark, deliv-
ered with the chill incisiveness of a
lawyer cross-examining a belligerent
witness, brought him once more to the
defense of the man who had made his
success possible.
“Is Dave Kerr keeping out of the
deal only through fear of young
Wright and the Belmont News?”
. “He isn’t afraid of anything. Mr.
Kerr merely says that it doesn’t in-
terest him at the present time. As
for ine, I’m out of it.”
fore the production of ‘Thermidor’ he
had the thought of one day writing
such a play. Gradually the character
of Fabienne shaped itself; Labussiere
was devised later to fit ’Coquelin. Ev-
erything that he read about that epoch
of the French revolution, and the ideas
which this reading inspired, he wrote
down in the form of rough notes. En-
gravings, maps, prints and other doc-
uments of the time he carefully collect-
ed. »
“Memoirs and histories tie annotated
lexed
“You’re still Kerr's right-hand ad-
viser.”
“Pardon me, his legal adviser.”
Kendall did not pause to acknowl-
edge the distinction, but went on, this
time straight to the heart of the mat-
ter.
“I made what the stock-yards peo-
ple consider a good offer. If that isn’t
enough, what’s his price?”
This point-blank question irritated
Gilbert. He much preferred to call a
spade an agricultural implement even
when talking with those who stood
close’to him in his manipulations for
the various corporations he represent-
ed. He therefore ignored the ques-
tion, preferring to tell why the mat-
ter could not be taken up at present.
“The election’s coming on in a
couple of months, and your franchise
would be made an issue. We. can’t
afford it with the News in a position
to boost the opposition party.”
“I’ve got to get it through as soon
as possible. There’s nothing raw in
this franchise, is there?”
“That’s 'the Chicago point of view,”
answered Kendall. “Stripped of legal
verbiage, w’hat you want is to lay rail-
road tracks, on which "will run cattle
trains, down a pretty residence street
and use a park for terminals, all with-
out giving property owners or the city
adequate compensation for ruining or
confiscating their property. I call that
pretty raw.”
“Well, it’s our best and certainly
our cheapest way if Kerr will put
through a franchise for us,” Kendall
maintained stubbornly. “I’ll come back
next week, and take the matter up
again. In the meantime you can talk
it over thoroughly.-with Kerr. He may
have something to say by that time.”
“It hardly seems likely. He seldom
changes his mind.”
“He may this time. I’ve got to get
away now and go by the hotel before
I go to the train. Let’s go back to
the drawing-room, wher'e I can have
a few more words with Wright. We
may be able to win him over.”
“That’s what I’m going to try to
do,” replied Judge Gilbert, as they
rose to rejoin Mrs. Gilbert and her
guests/
The attorneys entered the drawing-
room to find a discussion regarding
newspapers just drawing to a close
with victory still uncertain on which
standard to perch. /!
“You just missed hearing Dr. Hi-yes
pay bis respects to newspapers, Judge
Gilbert,” said Joe Wright with a.smile.

and indexed, filing away the index ref-
“He May This Time.”
The layman’s opinions always inter-
est and usually amuse a journalist
“What’s the matter? Have you told
him you won’t publish the box scores
of the ball games this year?”
“I’ll do that for him, and gladly.”
“Then there’s no occasion to kick.
That’s the only thing that can trouble
a fat man.”
“This time I was speaking general-
ly,” explained Hayes. “I don’t like
some of the ways reporters have.”
“That’s only a small part of the
business,” laughed Wright. “If you
complain only about that I shall have
you for a staunch adherent.”
Mrs. Hayes saw that Kendall was
at a loss to understand the drift of
the conversation, and accordingly
said, “Dr. Hayes is coroner, Mr. Ken-
dall, and the Banner man calls us up
at most unearthly hours.”
The Belmont Banner was the morn-
ing paper, and its editor, Deacon
Jerry Withrow, was always at the
beck and call of the boss. Kerr let
him think that he had something to
do with directing the affairs of the
city. This was a harmless delusion,
since its pliant attitude always made
him consider a suggestion let fall by
the boss as a scheme which he him-
self had hatched.
“I think it is dreadful for nice men
to be mixed up in politics,” said Mrs.
Gilbert.
Perhaps it was no more dreadful
than was the lack of knowledge of
politics displayed by the nice women
of ^elmont. This would have been
difficult to impress ppon Mrs. Gilbert.
She knew well enough that her hus-
band was consulted \»v that odious
David Kerr, but that in a legal
way and Kerr paid well flLcthe ad-
vice he received. Even the\^e in
erences in his file cases or dossiers
At the time of his death Sardou had
many hundreds of these dossiers, old'
and new. Some of the older ones had
been worked up into plays, while the
newer ones were merely raw material
for future dramas. When the idea of
a play had measurably shaped itself
in his mind he wrote out a skeleton
plot, which he placed in its dossier.
There It might lie indefinitely. In
this shape ‘Thermidor’ remained for
nearly twenty years, and ‘Theodora’
for ten.
which she spoke shov.’ed how thank-
ful she was her husband was not in
politics. Mrs. Hayes was quick to say
what, she thought along the same line
by adding:
“And Dr. Hayes doesn’t have to at
all, you know. He says he does it for
the good of the party.”
This would have been all very in-
teresting to Kendall if he had had the
entire evening to spend in such pleas-
ant company. Time was pressing,
however, and in the few minutes still
at his disposal he wished to sound
Wright at greater length about the
Belmont News.
Kendall looked closely at the young
man whom he had already set down
as an opponent. Physically Wright
seemed no shirker of a combat. His
shoulders were broad and his body
well developed. Led to believe from
his knowledge of the reformer type
that he would find Joe Wright a long-
haired theorist and Utopian dreamer,
the lawyer found instead a self-pos-
sessed, well-balanced young man. The
newspaper owner’s manner, even in
repose, was judicial. To Kendall’s
thinking he had .the air of a man who
would not be swayed by prejudice or
liking. It was his part, however, as
a special pleader, to make Wright
think himself too much an idealist
if he could—in opposing the just
claims of the stock-yard company.
“I suppose you found the News
shmewhat run down when you took
hold of it,” Kendall remarked casually.
“Yes, the name "was about all 1
bought.”
“I thought the paper had a pretty
good mechanical plant,” interjected
Gilbert.
Instinctively Wright felt the con-
certed action masked under the inno-
cent question and the remark by Gil-
bert. Just what Kendall had to gain
he did not know, but since he recog-
nized him as a representative of large
interests tie thought best to let him
know what,stand the News might be
expected to take* It was just as well
that Gilbert should have it clearly in
mind also, if the clients of these men
were playing the game fair and
square they would welcome his kind
of newspaper. If they weren’t, and
Wright knew there had been lapses
from grace on the part of some of
them, he hoped they would recognize
in the paper the power which would
first seek to prevent, and, failing in
this, then try to correct. Judge Gil-
bert’s allusion to the good mechanical
plant >ie seized upon for a text.
“That’s true, the News has a good
mechanical pit>.nt.” He paused to let
that sink in bei®re he continued.
“Somehow or other When I think of a
newspaper I never ttiifcft of that side
of it. I have in mind caly the feel-
ing of confidence with whiinfi a news-
paper inspires its readers.”
“What do you think the ichal news-
paper is like?” asked Judge Gilbert.
He wanted to know to what kind of
etar man had hitched hie
wagon.
“The ideal newspaper is one which
has no ax to grind, and no, personal
animus in the discussion of private af-
fairs or public questions, but only a
constant regard for the truth and the
lasting welfare of the state.”
Kendall went to what he considered
I iJP ”
eration, Mr. Wright, that everything—
this government, even—is but a com-
promise?” J
“No, I recognize that, and I believe
in compromise. Without it we would
still be .cave dwellers. It is exactly
because of this everpresent compro-
mise that an honest newspaper is so
valuable. It must see to it that this
compromise is open and above board.
It mustn’t be the give-and-take trade
of low politicians in the back room of
a saloon or the far more dangerous
trades of men higher up and powerful
interests; not that kind of compro-
mise, which after all is a sale of some-
thing one does not legally own to one
who cannot or will not secure it hon-
estly. I tell you that the majority
must rule fairly and with a proper
deference for the rights of the minor-
ity, that’s where a newspaper can be
of service.”
Having decided to deliver a broad-
side, Wright had gone about it with
great enthusiasm. The sight of Mrs.
Hayes gazing wonderingly at him, for
she did not understand what he
meant, caused the editor to break off
with a laugh. He recognized that
Judge Gilbert’s drawing-room was not
the proper place for a lengthy exposi-
tion of his views.
“I’m afraid I’m preaching,” he apol-
ogized, “and there’s nothing I hate
more than that.”
“Not at all,” protested Kendall.
“Your views interest me greatly, Mr.
Wright. When 1 come again I am go-
ing to see how far along you are on
the road to the ideal.”
With this Kendall announced that
he must be going, and made his
adieux. To, have a few’ last words
about Wright, Judge Gilbert accom-
panied the visiting attorney even to
the front gate. His very last' asser-
tion was that he himself would have
nothing to do with the proposed fran-
chise grab and that he was morally
certain David Kerr was of the same
frame of mineb

—Meat Forms Uric Acid.
No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush-
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which clogs the kidney pores
so they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from
the blood, then you get sick. Nearly
all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou-
ble, nervousness, constipation, dizzi-
ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at-
tended by a sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This fa-
mous salts is* made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
Iithia and has been used for genera-
tions to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferves-
cent lithia-water drink which all reg-
ular meat eaters should take now and
then to keep the kidneys clean and
the blood pure, thereby avoiding se-
