Mr. Maxwell hailed his en- trance--waved him forward and put his hand on Jerry's shoulder. "Fel- lows," he said "I waht you all to join with me in singing the praises of our host, Mr. Jerry Donohue." He himself promptly at the piano and, playing the accompaniment, began, be able to do more favors to my friends than I eould as State Senator; don't Jou forget it.

"No," said Jerry, "I don't." Dave looked at him in amazement; he had great respect for Jerry's opin- ion. | "Why not?" "Oh, I'll tell you some other time." He turned away from Dave; he was really quite misérable. His sensj: young men who had not, like the other tiveness had rebelled against the un- guests, arrayed themselves with gerupulous care, and who drin! ig == were, in fact, slightly in- ebriated. They bunched themselves in the doorway and shouted rapidly in unison: "Rah, rah, rah, Maxwell!" "Jimmy Burns!" cried Maxwell, joy- ously springing from the piano stool and going forward with out-stretched hand. He led the dissipated-looking, unnwashed leader of the gang up to Jerry and introduced Nim as the next member of the Legislature from the district. Jerry hospitably showed the newcomers into the dining-room; the whiskey bottles engaged their interest. Jerry returned! to the intellectual centre. "Mr. Maxwell," speak up boldly in a lull; "Im sure we'd all Jike to hear you talk on the tariff and the other issues." Maxwell assumed a conventional posture, resting his arm negligently on the mantelpiece. "Friends," he said, "I don't want to talk to you to-night about the tariff; YOU imilar mat-| , "Can't stand! I'd rather take that and ters up later in the campaign, on the stump. In this Congressional elec- tion I don't look on the tariff as much of an issue, The important issue for the voters in this Congressional district is the character of the man that's to represent them in Congress. The all-important thing for this dis- trict is to send a man to Congress who stands close to the heart of the peo- ple--a man who mixes with you, who sympathizes with your life, who does not hold himself aloof from you and your joys and your sorrows. The man who takes a human interest in his constituents, my friends, is the man who will best serve them. No matter whether he belongs to the Republican Party or to the Democratic Party, the efficient representative must be a de- mocratic man. Now, my friends in all modesty I wish to contrast myself] with my opponent. You know what gort of a man he is--or if you don't know I can tell you. Rich, prosper- ous, arrogant--one of the aristocracy. He lives in a big house, he has his automobile and his horses, he wears a fur overcoat, Well--some of the rest of us may have all those advantages, But that doesn't é us hold our- selves aloof. We mix in with the people just the same. But my oppon- ent, he's one of thse silk-stocking politicians. .

It galled him to be told in such plain and insolent terms that Maxwell in coming to his house had performed an act of condescension; it angered Jerry to feel that he alone appreciated the impudence. At another time he would have been ! amused by the diversion in which the lanky, crafty-eyed Jimmy Burns and the chunky, red-faced follower known as "Bill" became engaged. They had temporarily given their attention | to doughnuts rathen than to whiskey, and were endeavoring now to utilize ne of the stout circular confections 0 he ventured " in a game of ring-toss; they stood sev- eral feet apart, and each took turns in trying to circumvent with the missile the other's gravely upraised forefin- ger. : "Bill, you wiggled it," complained Burns after a failure, } "I did not; you can't pitch because you can't stand," retorted Bill.

"You first, with your nose above the leak," replied Bill. "Your valve's flappin'; it needs a new washer, Try this." Burns slammed the doughnut into his friend's face. Bill sprang forward and seizing his assailant by the shoulders propelled him * violently backward through the parlor. Too late Jerry perceived the disaster that impended and sprang to avert it. The two went crashing into the corner where hung the mem- orial-dove. Jerry flung them apart and expgsed the ruin. The satin- sheath frame was crumpled and broken; the bird lay crushed upon the floor. Ji said nothing; he stoop- ed and picked it up and carried it from the room. As he bore it up the stairs he caressed it with his hand as if it had been a living, wounded thing. He laid it on his and looked at it for a little while; he lifted the torn wing and turned 'over the crushed body; it seemed to him past mending. Then he went down again to his guests.

In the first place a "dummy" is to | be made about an inch broader mnd deeper than the saucepan. This can be done by rolling paper around the cooking vessel and tying or pasting it. This covering is only 'a temporary guide, which enables the maker. to place the final cover over, the pan with ease. The newspaper sheets must be open- ed out singly, care being taken to use only those that are not torn. Those that are torn will some in handy to make the discs, using the saucer as a guide, Thread the packing needle with about two feet of string, tying the ends together with a large knot. Pass the needle through the centre of about a dozen of the paper discs and pull through up to the knot. Paste a few discs over the krmot, so as to hide it, using the paste in sparing quantities and in dabs here and there. Next make a fold longwise in one of the perfect sheets of newspaper. This fold is to be fully the same dépth as between the centre of the top and the "dummy" and its base. Lay the dum- my on its side and secure the paper around it, pasting the side edge of the paper, using as little as possible, care being taken not to paste the disc of pasted paper with the string and needle uppermost on the top of the dummy, ,which previously has .been stood upright. Bring the top edges of the sheet of newspaper into the centre by crumpling them around the double string. Drive the needle through a few discs or squares of paper, and, having put some paste on them and on the string, pass them down on the top crumpled edges of the sheet of paper, thus forcing one com- plete comparatively airtight cover. Put on thirty or more such covers. As the sizes of the covers increases so must the depth of the fold, so as to bring the top edge of the paper close up to the central strings. The folded edges of the paper are to be put to the bottom of the covers. To add neat- ness, the first and last covers may consist of, and the discs be covered with, respectively, white and brown paper. Ta secure strength: the lower edges of the two covers must be fold- ed several times. The sheets of newspapers must be placed on evenly and neatly, but care {should be taken not to get them too tight, as the object is to form air spaces between the layers of paper. | About two hours is required for two people to make the "nested cover." To finish, pass the needle through the ring, having previously threaded on the string some discs of paper. moniously aside, He overtopped Maxwell by three inches, and he look- ed down inbo the man's pale face with blazing eyes. Even before he began to speak a hush had fallen upon the company. "Mr. Maxwell"--Jerry's voice was harsh and rasping--"my mother wash ed these curtains, beat this carpet, cleaned and swept this room so that it should be fit and decent for you to come into. "And you come here and talk smut--here in my mother's room. Now get out." 5 Maxwell grew tack a ser. "Dh look here," he said appeasingly, an he tried to laugh, "don't take it so hard. Why, if I'd known--" "I don't want to hear one word out of you," said Jerry inexorably. He addressed the others in a quieter voice, "My mother and a friend--a friend of hers wanted to have a look at this grost -- hate.
