cq him.

fuses the offer, and Nan breaks her en
gagement with the lawyer. Bivens asks

Woodman will not yield and sues Bivens’
company. The promoter tells the doctor
he and Nan are engaged. Harriet Wood
man is studying music. Stuart takes Nan
for a day in the country.

CHAPTER V.
Struggle.
THE longer Stuart wrestled with
the problem of Nan’s yielding
to the lure of Bivens’ gold the
more hideous and hopeless It
became. He began to feel that he had
been to blame. Why had he allowed
the foolish pride of a lovers’ quarrel to
keep them apart for two weeks?
When he came downstairs he paused
at the door. Harriet was playing and
singing again, and the soft tones of her
voice were healing. He walked gently
to the door of the music room, leaned
against the panel and watched and
listened.
At last she stopped reluctantly, tip
ped her golden head sideways in a co
quettish little triumphant movement
and in the quaintest imitation of a
man’s voice said:
“I congratulate you. Miss Harriet—l
like that very much!”
“Do you. professor? Oh, I’m so glad
to please you!”
She shook her curls with genuine de
light and played out the little dialogue
with vivid Imaginary touches.
Stuart laughed.
The girl leaped to her feet, blushing
scarlet, rushed to his side and seized
bis hand.
"Did you see me, Jim? Was I very
foolish?"
"Certainly not. 1 quite agree with
the professor. Ton will some day sing
before kings and queens, little girl.’’
He left her waving and smiling to
him from the steps. He walked with
new vigor and a deepening sense of
gratitude to her. His breath deepened,
and his step grew firm and swift. He
would fight for his own. He would go
straight to Nan and laugh at this an
nouncement. He would compel her to
hear him. It was an absurd hour to
call, but all the better.
Mrs. Primrose’s greeting was so cor
dial, so genuinely friendly, that for a
moment he was puzzled. Could It be
possible he had misjudged her?
She pressed his hand warmly and
lingeringly:
"Oh. Jim. I’m so glad you’ve come:
Why have you stayed away so long?
It was so foolish of you. You gave up
without a struggle. I’m shocked be
yond measure at Nan. 1 told her that
bis millions would never bring happl
ness unless her heart went with them
—that her love for you was a thing
she couldn’t lay aside as a cloak she
had worn. I told Nan the day she
promised to marry Mr. Bivens that you
were worth a dozen such men, no mat
ter bow many millions he bad. You
have always been my choice —you
know that”
Stuart could control himself no long
er. He rose and faced Mrs. Primrose
with a look which brought her elo
quence to an abrupt end.
“Mrs. Primrose, for once in my life
lam going to tell you the truth. You
have always been my bitterest foe
You brought Nan to New York to get
her away from me.”
The mother’s eyes blazed with bon
est wrath.
“Yes, I did; and I’m glad I did it—
you ungrateful wretch!"
“And you have always been busy
poisoning her mind against me and
corrupting her imagination with
dreams of a life of luxury.”
“And. thank God, I’ve succeeded at
last in bringing her to her senses in
time to save her from throwing herself
away on you. Jim Stuart!”
As Mrs. Primrose left Nan quietly en
tered the room. Her face was set for
battle in a proud defiant smile. She
was totally unprepared for the way in
Whiqh Stuart met her.
With a quick step he was at her side,
seized both her bands In a grip of fierce
tenderness and In low tones of vibrant
passion said:
“This thing don’t go with me. Nan.
I won’t accept it. I’m going to fight
fight for my own—for you are mine
mine by every law of God and man.
and you are worth fighting for!”
The hard smile of defiance melted
from the beautiful face, and a flush of
tenderness slowly overspread her
cheeks. It was sweet to be loved like
that by a strong, masterful man. She
started to speak, and he raised his
hand:
“1 know, dear, you said our engage
ment was broken. I don’t believe you
mean it. I couldn’t The news of
your engagement to Bivens came as a
bolt out of the blue sky. I refuse to
accept such an act as final. You did it
out of pique. You don’t mean it You
can’t mean it! I told you the other
day I had a surprise for you. I have.
It’s worth a day. You promised me
one io the country before our foolish
Quarrel I want It now. You will
come?”
She hesitated a moment and said:
“Yes.”
Within an hour they had reached the
hills overlooking Gravesend bay, and
the magnificent sweep wator below
the Narrows Nan had scarcely spoken
on rhe way. answering Stuart’s ques
tions in friendly nods, smiles and mon
osyllables.
“Before we go farther.” Stuart said
when they had left the car. “1 want to
show you a model home a friend of
mine has built out here. It’s my ideal,
and I think you’ll like It.”
As they entered the gate, half hid
den in the hedge, the girl exclaimed:
“What a lovely little place!”
A gardener who was watering some
flowers on a sign from Stuart hastened
up the gravel walk and opened the
door.
Every window commanded entranc
ing views of the bay and ocean. Ev
ery ship entering or leaving the harbor
of New York must pass close and could
be seen for miles going to sea.
When Stuart finally led Nan out on
the broad veranda of the second floor
she was in a flutter of excitement over
the perfection of its details.
“I think it’s wonderful. Jim!" she
exclaimed, with enthusiasm. “I’ve

never seen anything more nearly per
fect. Whose Is it?"
Stuart looked Into her dark eyes with
desperate yearning.
“It’s yours, Nan!”
“Mine?”
“Yes, dear; this is my secret. I’ve
been building this home for you the
past year. I've put all the little mon
ey my father gave me with every dol
lar I could save. It's paid for. and
here’s the key. 1 meant to ask you
out here to flx our wedding day. 1
ask you now. Forget the nightmare
of the past two weeks, and remember
only that we love each other.”
Her lips quivered for just an In
stant. and her hand gripped the rail
of the veranda.
“If I’d seen it four weeks ago. Jim,
I really don’t see how I could have re
sisted it, but now”—she shook her
head and laughed—"now it’s too late.’
“My God! Don’t say that. Nan!” he
pleaded. “It’s never too late to do
right You know that I love you
You know that you love me.”
“But I’ve discovered.” she went on.
with bantering, half challenging frank
ness. “that I love luxury too I never
knew how deeply and passionately be
fore’’— She paused a moment, look
ing toward Sea Gate. “Isn’t that the
anchorage of the Atlantic Yacht club?”
“Yes.” he answered impatiently.
“Then that’s Mr. Bivens’ yacht, the
big. ugly black one lying close inshore
with steam up. He told me he would
send her into drydock today. He was
talking last night of a wedding cruise
in her to the Mediterranean. I con
fess. Jim, that I want to shine, to suc
ceed and dazzle and reign. This is
perhaps the one chance of my life.”
“Do you hold yourself so cheap?”
“You can’t realize how much the
power of millions means to a woman
who chafes at the limitations the world
puts on her sex. It’s too late”—
“Don’t don’t say it. Nan!”
“Why not be frank? This little cot
tage is a gem. I admit But I’ve seen a
splendid palace set in flowers and
gleaming with subdued light Soft
music steals through its halls mingled
with the laughter of throngs who love
and admire me. Its banquet tables are
laden with the costliest delicacies,
while liveried servants hurry to and
fro with plates and goblets of gold."
Stuart seized her arm with fierce
strength that hurt “You shall not do
this hideous thing. You are mine, I
tell you. and I am bigger than money.
I have the power to think, to create
Ideas, to create beauty—the power that
remakes the world. 1 expect tc have
all the money we shall need. In the
years to come we shall be rich whether
we seek it or not But the sweetest
days of all life will be those in which
we fight side by side the first battles of
life in youth and poverty when we
shall count the pennies and save with
care for the little ones God may send
us.”
“But life is short. Jim. I can have
things now. He has already promised
them—a palace in town, another by
the sea. a great castle in the heart of
the blue southern mountains we used
to watch as children and armies of
servants to do my bidding. I can live
now."
“And you call these trappings and
tinsel life?”
“1 want them.”
“My God. Nan. haven’t you a soul?
Hasn’t the life within no meaning for
you? To me such luxury is sheer in
sanity. The possibilities of personal
luxury have been exhausted thousands
of years ago It’s commonplace, vul
gar and contemptible. If you wish f®r
power why choose the lowest of all its
forms? The way you are entering is
worn bare by the feet of millions of
forgotten fools whose bodies worms
have eaten. No; one of them lives
today even in a footnote of history.”
"And yet, Jim. you know as well as 1
do that money is the sign of success
and power; its absence, of failure and
weakness. If you make a mistake in
your career jou can correct it and be-
gin again Being a woman. I cannot,
for marriage is my only career. A
mistake now would be to me fatal.”
"And you are making the one tragic
mistake no repentance can undo. The
deliberate choice of evil, knowing it to
be evil Your heart Is mine—mine, 1
tell you! Do you deny it?”
Again be seized her hand, gripped it
fiercely and looked into her eyes with
tender, searching gaze.
Nan looked away.
“Oh. Nan. dear, believe me!” be
pleaded. “You can’t deny this voice
within the soul and live. Happiness is
Inside, not outside, dear.”
The lover paused a moment, over
come with bis emotion, and he knew
by the quick rising and falling of the
girl’s breast that a battle was raging.
Quick to see his advantage, he drew
her gently inside.
“See, Nan. there are no cheap Imita
tions in here, no vulgar ornaments
which mean nothing. This home will
be a real one because it will have a
soul There can be no coarse or menial
tasks within its walls because its woyk
shall be glorified by the old immortal
song of love and life.”
Stuart leaned close and spoke in a
low tense voice:
“And it will always be beautiful.
Nan, because it will be penetrated with
the touch of your hand. Every piece
of furniture will glow with that radi
ance. Gold and precious stones can
have no such luster. See, here I have
planned to place your piano. There
will be no music on earth like the
songs those throbbing strings shall
make to my soul when they quiver be
neath the touch of your hand.”
The lover slipped his arm gently
around the girl’s yielding form, her
head drooped on his shoulder, the great
dark eyes blinded with tears. For a
moment he held her in silence, broken
only by a deep sob. His hand touched
her hair with the tenderest gesture as
he whispered:
“We can only know a few real
friends in this world, dearest. But one
great love comes to any human soul,
and life is all too short to lose a single
day.”
“Hush-hush, Jim!” the girl cried in
anguish. “Don’t say any more, please.”
“Tell me that it’s all right, dear,” he
urged. “You know you cannot leave
me now. You know that you love me
and that your love is a deathless
thing.”
“Yes, yes; I know,” she gasped.
“But I’m going to marry him. I can’t
help it The spell of his millions is on
me, and I can’t shake it off.”
With a determined effort she drew
herself from his embrace and in hard,
cold tones continued:
“No, Jim; you must face the truth.
I am going to marry this man, and
the most horrible thing I can say
about myself Is that, deeply as I love
you, I know I shall be content with
the splendid career that will be mine.
I shall never regret my marriage.”
The lover looked at her in a dazed
way, as if unable to grasp the mean
ing of her words.
“But you can’t do this vile thing
Since the world began I know that

rain, weak, ignorant women have sold
themselves to men they could not love
lor money, rank and luxury- But you
are not of that breed, Nan. You are
the typical American girl. You repre
sent women whose hearts have been
pure, whose lives have been clean, who
have kept burning in the hearts of
men the great faiths of the soul. Re
spect for women has been one of the
foundations of our moral life. The
woman who sells herself to buy bread
stands higher in the moral world than
you”— He hesitated.
“Go on, Jim; say the worst. And
still I’m going to do it”
“Knowing full well that no ceremo-
By of church or state, no word of
priest or judge, no pealing of organ or
pomp or pageantry can make this
thing a marriage?”
The lover dropped in silence to the
window seat and burled his face in his
hands in a paroxysm of emotion be
yond control. At length he rose and
looked at the girl he loved long and
tenderly.
“God in heaven! Ita inconceivable
when I look Into your beautiful face!
Have you no pity in your heart?"
The full lips smiled a cruel little
smile.
“Men are strong, Jim. They can
stand hard blows. You come of fight
ing stock. I know that you will sur
vive. I’m sorry to hurt you. Jim. but
I must; it’s fate. The big world I some
how feel I'm akin to is calling me, and
I’m going”—
“And Bivens is this big world! If
you will throw me over for money
can’t you wait until a real man goes
with it? It wouldn't be so bad if I
felt you had chosen one who was my
equal physically and mentally in cul
ture and breeding—but Bivens!”
“You underestimate his ability. You
may hate him, but he is a man of
genius.”
“He is everything you loathe and yet
you are going to marry him. You are
giving up too easily. Bivens has only
a couple of millions, and he may lose
them. Don’t hold yourself so cheap.
If you were on the block for sale I’d
give a million for each'dlmple in your
cheeks. The smile that plays about
your lips should bring millions. Your
deep dark eyes, I swear, are worth a
million each.”
"Hush. Jim. dear, we must go now.
I can’t stand any more. There’s a
limit.’’
“Yes. 1 know. Forgive me.”
Without another word he led her
from the place, closed the little gate
quietly and returned to her home.
Alone Inside the parlor they stood in
silence a moment, and she took his
hand in hers.
"I'm sorry, but It must be goodby
Your love has been a sweet and won
derful thing in my life”—
“And you throw It aside as a worth
less rag.”
“No,” she answered, smiling. “It
shall be mine always. Goodby.”
She raised her lips to his in a cold
kiss.
Dazed with anguish, he turned and
left. The door closed on his retreat
ing figure, and Nan burst into a flood
of passionate tears.

TALK DN DAVIES
INDORSEMENT
Politicians Are Speculating nn
Its Possible Etfect.
LEGISLATURE GETS TO WORK
Number of Bills of Wide Importance
Introduced by Assemblyman Holmes
—Senator Bosshard After “Wild
Cat” Speculators—Minimum Wage
and Mothers’ Pension Bills.
Madison, Wis., Feb. 18. —(Special.)
—lt has become second nature for the
Wisconsin legislature to do the un
usual and unexpected thing. Its lat
est achievement not directly along
the line of legislation or Republican
politics came in the form of an in
dorsement of Joseph E. Davies of
Madison, one of the big Wilson men
of the country. A resolution intro
duced in the senate and the assembly
recommending to President-elect Wil
son the name of Davies for a place
in the cabinet or for any other high
position of recognition in the service
of the country went through the leg
islature with a whoop.
Republicans, Democrats, Social Dem
ocrats and non-partisans joined in the
indorsement, which in many respects
is decidedly unique not alone in Wis-
UcaS
f J®
ASSEMBLYMAN HOLMES.
consin, but in the United States. Mr.
Davies is returning from Liverpool,
where he was called by the illness of
his mother.
Davies is a University of Wiscon
sin man and a Wilson progressive of
the dashing type. He is a brilliant
orator and is one of the best known
men in Wisconsin. He gained a na
tional reputation by reason of his
work as secretary of the Democratic
national committee, and more partic
ularly by his work as manager of the
western bureau, with headquarters in
Chicago, of Governor Wilson during
the campaign. He also was a con
spicuous figure in the Baltimore con
vention.
Effect of the Indorsement.
Now that a Wisconsin Republican
legislature has gone out of its way
to indorse a Democrat, politicians are
speculating on what the effect of this
indorsement will be in the event that
Davies does not go to Washington.
It has several times been suggested
that he may decline any appointment
that is offered to him. Davies is a
man of unusual type, as well as a man
of considerable means and there is
some question as to whether an ap
pointment by Mr. Wilson will lure him
from this state. That he will remain
active in politics is considered cer
tain. If he decides not to leave Wis
consin and the present McGovern-La
Follette row continues and splits the
Republican party vote, Davies may be
the next governor of Wisconsin. Tired
of factional strife, it has already been
pointed out that his candidacy would
be likely to draw heavily from the
progressive Republican ranks.
Legislature Gets to Work.
With the minimum wage bill and the
mother’s pension bill introduced and
the McGovern-Ekern matter tempor
ily tucked away in the courts, the
legislature assumed a business air the
past few days and got down to work.
Fred L. Holmes, one of the young
er members of the assembly who fol
lows the flag of Senator La Follette,
has introduced a number of bills of
wide importance. One of these has al
ready been reported out for passage.
This measure gives to the state rail
road commission the power to order
the joint use of street railway tracks.
Mr. Holmes believes that this addi
tional power vested in the commis
sips will do much to eliminate masy
of the quarrels that occur in cities
having more than one street car line.
Holmes will soon introduce h’s bill
providing for state indemnity for men
who are falsely imprisoned through
some error in criminal justice.
After “Wild Cat” Speculators.
Senator Otto Bosshard is on the
trail of ‘‘wild cat” speculators. The
senator from La Crosse has intro
duced a bill which aims to safeguard
the interests of Wisconsin investors.
Under the provisions of the bill a
corporation commission is created to
consist of the secretary of state, com
missioner of janking and the commis
sioner of insurance, who, without per
sonal compel sation, shall keep tab on
every corporation company, co-part
nership or association organized or
Intending to organize in Wisconsin.
Foreign corporations seeking to do
business in the state must come under
the regulations provided in the Boss
hard bill.
The flooding of the state with liter
ature booming “wild cat” schemes is
prohibited, as all publicity schemes
must first be approved by the corpora
tion commission. In any case where
the commission has reason to be
suspicious of the financial statement
filed, it has the power to make an in
vestigation to ascertain the facts.
Wisconsin has been somewhat of a
green pasture for “wild cat” schemes
and for that reason the Bosshard bill
is one of more than ordinary import
ance.
Minimum Wage Bill.
Assemblyman Thomas J. Mahon of
Eland has introduced the minimum
wage bill, which is expected to pass
the legislature after a season of hard
sledding. This bill defines minimum
wage as follows:
“Every wage paid or agreed to be
paid by any employer to any female
or minor employe except as other
wise provided in section 17295—2
shall be not less than a living wage.
A living wage is compensation for la
bor sufficient to enable employe re
ceiving it to maintain himself or her
self under conditions consistent with
his or her welfare.”
The Mahon bill offers a new line
of labor legislation, as It is the first
attempt to fix wage by means of
statute. The industrial commission
is given power to enforce the proposed
law. The measure is unique; there
Is nothing in labor legislation in
other states which approaches it.
Here is one feature of the measure:
“Every wage paid or agreed to be
paid by employer to any female or
minor employe except as otherwise
provided in section 1729s —2 shall be
not less than a living wage.”
A living wage is defined as a “com
pensation for labor sufficient to enable
the employe receiving it to maintain
himself or herself under conditions
consistent with his or her welfare.”
Aid to Working Women.
A great deal has been said in Wis
consin, as well as in the other states
of the union concerning young wo
men who are driven into the streets
and a life of shame by reason of small
and inadequate wages. It is in a
large sense the purpose of this bill to
help the working women of Wiscon
sin; to see to it that they are paid a
wage which is protection to them in
the fullest sense. Mr. Mahon Is pre
pared to meet the attack that will be
made on the measure by the com
bined business interests of the state.
He is confident that the bill will pass
both houses. Governor McGovern Is
strongly In favor of the measure.
Another bill of wide Interest Is the
so-called mother’s pension bill intro
duced by Assemblyman John Schnitz
ler of De Pere. The theory of this
measure is that it will be better for
the future citizenship of the state for
children to remain at home and in
school rather than be placed in some
public institution. A state child pro
tection agent is to be appointed. A
county child protection agent is also
to be appointed in the counties of the
state, the county agents to be respon
sible to the state agent and the state
agent to be responsible to the state
board of control which is made the ad
ministrative board under the proposed
law.
“Dry Zone” Bills.
The usual number of “dry zone”
bills are beginning to bob up in the
legislature. Assemblyman Frederick
has introduced a county option bill,
which will meet with the united, op
position of the brewing interests of
the state. Assemblyman E. C. Me
land of De Forest has introduced a
bill to prohibit the sale of liquor
within one mile of the main building
of the University of Wisconsin. A
similar bill relating to the normal
schools may be introduced. These
measures constitute the more import
ant bills aimed at the liquor traffic,
although the one to divorce the brew
ery from the saloon has aroused the
brewing interests to activity.
Axel Johnson of Polk county who
believes in 100 day sessions of the
legislature has introduced a measure
which will go hard on joy riders if
it is enacted into law. The measure
provides that any driver of any
automobile who may injure a person
and not stop to give aid and give
name and address to anyone who re
quests it, shall be liable to a fine of
SI,OOO or imprisonment from three
months to two years.
Direct Election of Senators.
The legislature, as was anticipated
earlier in the session, has gone on
record for the so-called direct election
of United States senators. The
amendment memorializing congress
to change the constitution so that
United States senators may be chosen
by popular election has been favor
ably acted upon in both houses.
Senator Husting, Mayville, has
brought in the bill which caused a
stir two years ago and provides for
the guaranty of bank deposits. The
banking interests of the state through
their various organizations will op
pose the bill and will suggest as a
substitute that depositors may be pro
tected through the insurance of
bank deposits. The measure will be
discussed in a series of public hear
ings to be held at which both ides of
the question may be discussed at
length.
