ENTER DICKY
SWUNG again. The whit duak of
an April evening. Trees below
In Oramercy Park. Taxis halted be
fore the Playera Club. Cllve
prawled In a chair In the bachelor'!
apartment he had occupied since hla
return from Europe. Hli Arm bad
wished to aend him back to Vienna.
He'd refused or the lecret reason
that Santa's divorce was pending.
For the thousandth time he was
reviewing his relations with her.
The loyalty he was displaying was
iaslnlne. Each time he had given
her a fresh chance she'd failed him.
He supposed she would continue to
fall him to the end of the chapter.
When she was tree and he sought
to claim her, she would probably
declare that she was sick of mar
rtnge. Bis next news would be that
she was bonevmoonlnc with an'
lather fellow.
I He came to grips with himself:
jBanta was blc vice. In other dlreo
itlons he could discipline his crav
ilngs; where she was concerned
there was no bridling them. That
this should he so roused his lndlg'
nation. The goal be'd set himself
was to become a leader. That be
icould succeed he'd proved during
the year abroad. He never ought to
have re-sought Santa. He was again
iher slave, spellbound. Interminably
waiting her pleasure.
Already he had been penalized tor
Ibis Infatuation. His lmpolltlo reluc-
jtance to represent his firm In Eu
rope had lowered his standing with
iMr. Cleasby.
i And here was revealed the obsti
nate Idiocy of his conduct: since
that night when Santa kissed him
o Impetuously, he bad not seen her.
He had been permitted to render
her no service. Had been forbidden
;ever to writ to ner.
I "Keep out ot the picture," her
father bad advised, adding that If
Ihe Intruded he might complicate
matters by getting himself Quoted
s the alienator of her affections. So
for six months he'd marked time,
iSnlnformed as to what was happen
ing and powerless to help her.
i The telephone tinkled.
i "There's a Mr. Dak down here
.Inquiring tor you.
I Cllve thought furiously. An Inter
view would probably end In a tight
iStill he might learn something.
, "Send him up."
. A tap. Cllve opened. The two men
stared In the waning light In Dak's
regard there was nu enmity.
Come In," Cllve Invited. "This
Is a bit unexpected."
"For me, too," Dicky smiled.
Removing his coat, he tossed It
laelde. He was In evening-dress.
: "Sit down. How about a clga-
rette?"
( Dicky acoepted.
I "I discovered your address from
ithe Princeton Club. Ot course you're
.wondering why."
"Frankly I am.
I "Then let me explain, I'm at my
I wits' end. I've seen Santa's father.
.He'll have nothing to do with me."
j "Is that surprising?"
"I should say not But that leaves
(you as the last court ot appeal.'
i "Can't see what I have to do
fwith It"
"Tou can persuade her."
"To whatT"
"To drop the divorce,"
Cllve made his tone Indifferent
"Why on earth should I interfere?
Save for an accidental meeting at
her parents' home, I haven't seen
Iter since your marriage. I have no
(influence"
, "You- have." Dicky leaned for
Wsrd. "Being a bachelor, you don't
Iknow wives. They treasure sn Ideal,
E'ou're hers. All the noble qualities
he denies to me, she attributes to
ijou. Without the least Intention
wou've made unfair competition for
pne.
- "This sounds nonsense."
; "I agree." Dicky laughed. "But It
Isn't You're the white-haired boy
It yon were to tell Santa that she
ought to take m back, she would
psy attention.
Cllve blew a ring ot smoke.
"Supposing I don't think she
ought to take you back? From all
I've beard you're been a beast to
tor."
As a man ot the world. In a mari
tal quarrel you surely don't believe
that all the justice is on one aider
You yourself were once In love with
her and didn't have such an easy
time. You'd be standing In my
shoes tonight It 1 bsdn't cut yon out
Instead of divorcing me, she'd be
divorcing you."
"Profoundly Interesting, Cllve
said.
Stimulated by this encourage
ment, Dicky continued.
"Since she's been my wife Fve
done nothing more offensive that
she'd seen me do during our engage
ment"
Nothing?" Cllve switched on a
near-by lamp.
Dicky became uncomfortable, and
hesitated.
She's certainly seen me hilari
ous. She msy have fooled herself
that she was the cause. Anyway,
I was always a top-speed artist and
a great one for parties. While I was
her fiance, that suited Santa down
to the ground. We saw the town
with one foot on the gas. Not till
we were married did she apply the
brakes. We skidded. Went on skid
ding. At last we've crashed."
She applied the brakes when
she discovered that she was mar
ried to a gentleman bum." Cllve
spoke Insolently and waited for the
explosion.
"You've snatched the words from
my mouth," Dicky surprised him. "I
was on the road to the devil. Un
fortunately this was the first time
Fd been asked to bustle and my
solitary business went up the flue
while we were on our honeymoon.
That threw me on her resources. So
If you come right down to It the
trouble between us Is money. Oth
er things aren't the cause; they're
the aggravation."
Cllve swung his leg over the arm
of his chair.
"What do you propose to do?"
"What I've done Is more Impor
tant I haven't had a drink since
she left me. I've gone to work-
accepted the first Job that offered.
I'm an automobile salesman."
"But I meant as concerns Santa."
"I've lain down. I'm not contest
ing the suit"
"I know only the barest details."
Cllve betrayed Irritation. "I believe
you went on a trip to St Paul and
returned to find your borne stripped
and yoffr wife vanished. You can't
have sat down nnder such treat
ment No man would. You must
have done something."
I certainly did." Dicky assumed
a purposeful expression. "I lost no
time In tracing her. I've courted her
with more ardor during the past six
months than ever I did before we
were engaged. I've sent her flowers,
the odd theatre-ticket paid her all
those little attentions which mean
so much to a woman's vanity."
"And with no result?" Cllve pulled
a long face.
I wouldn't say that" Dicky ad-
Justed his tie nervously. "In a week
our case comes up; I think I've no
ticed signs of softening. If you
were to put In a good word, I'm
certain there would be no divorce."
Quite a problem I" Cllve stared
at the ceiling, "And you wont me to
urge her to take a chance against
which her previous knowledge of
you warns her. How on earth did
you get the Idea that I would think
better of you than she does?"
"Because I'm desperate." Dicky's
voice shook with agitation. "I'm not
entirely selfish. I'm thinking ot her.
She's young. She's lost her maiden
freshness. No more dew on the
rose. No Illusions. I don't need to
tell you that fellows steer clear of
divorcees. As I see things, It she
refuses to And her happiness with
me, she's ruined.
The part that Cllve had been
playing crumbled. He sprang to bis
feet
"As you see things you've robbed
her and then quoted your rascality
as the reason why no man will de
sire her. Can't you realise?"
"Everything."
Cllve walked over to his coat and
flung It at him.
"Advise her to return to yon I fd
rather advise her to take poison."
Dicky shuffled to his feet
"I msde mistake In approach
ing you."
On the threshold he paused.
"You're a bachelor. You can't un
derstand. There's a binding one
ness about a first marriage. You
may think that a woman who's been
married before becomes your wife.
She doesn't She never gets rid of
her first husband."
"Thanks for tbe Information."
Cllve slammed the door.

VETERANS PRAISE
HOOVER'S REGORD:
ASK RE-ELECTION
Th Veteran Republican elub.
oompoMfl of war veteran, baa Issued
a statement as follows:
"We believe Herbert Hoover should
be re-elected president of the United
flutes.
'A change of administration at
this time would be as unwise as the
removal of General Pershing would
have been Just prior to the battles
of St. Mlhlel and the Argonne.
"President Hoover hu auoceasfully
defended our country from an attack
of pork barrel and other legislation
which would have been fatal to our
economic system. '
"As veterans, we owe Herbert
Hoover a debt of gratitude for the
favorable legislation his administra
tion has enacted for us.
"While president he approved of
tne following measures:
"The amendment to the World War
Veterans' act which became effective
July 3, 1030, giving to ex-service men
more benefits than were ever enjoyed
before.
"The consolidation of various vet
eran bureaus resulting in better ser
vice at (treat savings to the public.
"Amendments to the adjusted
compensation act, allowing more lib
eral loan privileges and greatly re
ducing the interest charges.
"We further commend him for ap
proving the Increase In hospital fa
cilities and soldier homes for the
care of disabled and destitute soldiers
of all wars.
Throughout the three and one
half years of his leadership our coun
try baa been confronted with unpre
cedented conditions; many foreign
governments have fallen; the credit
of the entire world has been shaken
and same countries have vanished
entirely. Yet under his guidance
the United States has stood like a
Gibraltar.
"It behoove us, as citizens and
veterans, to support Herbert Hoover
for re-election.
"We urge all veterans to join us in
this movement."

AS BALLOT
PORTLAND. Ore., Not, 8. (AP)
Thomas C. Elliott, chairman of the
Republican state central committee,
today issued a statement claiming
Oregon for Hoover by "a substantial
majority," the election of Frederick
Stelwer to t,he United States senate,
and election of all three Oregon con
gressmen. "Six weeks ago there was a prob
ability that Roosevelt would triumph
In Oregon," Elliott said, "but Hoo
ver's radio addresses have won back
the confidence of our farmers, and
operation of the tariff on lumber has
shown our mill people the way to
restored employment.
"The swing to Hoover Is equally
marked in all sections of the state.
The Democrats recognise It, too, be
cause they are now resorting to
spreading untrue and even libelous
statements over the state. That la
the proof they ttiat know they are
licked.
"All Republicans should be warned
to pay no attention to last minute
attacks and propaganda."
