But I can .ia sure you that ’ have return n< rmal, and if I thought I couldn t satisfy you I’d let you go a word. But you know that 1 e.< don’t you?” She nodded. "What is it, 1 wonder'” sighed. “I wish 1 knew 1 ' ■ enough to feel. . . L ' " understand that In spite of the er ratic creature you have known since you refused to marry me at once and left me with no resource but to let that play boil out., .1 am man first and a writer incidentally. 1 also have a stronger ambition to be your husband than to write plays. If I d oll ' l strangle what talent I have it is because I must have the money to be independent of newspaper work. Otherwise I should have neither peace of mind nor be able to live abroad with you. I know that you cannot be happy here, and I am not a victim of that ancient myth that two people who love each other can be happy anywhere. Environment is half the ba‘tle—for the super-civi lized, at all events. But you shall never hav another dose of the writer. I'll write my plays in New- York and rush production. The greater * part of the year I shall spend with you in Europe, and I cannot think of anything I’d like more—why, the very night I first saw. you' I was longing with all my soul to get out of New York and over to the other side of the world. Why, Mary! You are iiot crying? You! I never believed you could.” “I—l —did not believe it either. . . . But, are you sure? Cotild you reconcile yourself? You seem so much a part of New York, of this strange high-pitched civiliza tion. If you are not sure —if you are only tired of New York for the moment. . . . I—yes, 1 will! I’ll give it all up and live here. Os course I love New York itself— was it not my Mary Ogden home? And there are delightful people ev erywhere. ...

And, possibly, once in a great ■ while, two human beings are per mitted to 'effect that completeness together.” They were both In an exalted mood. The wood was very still, its beauty incomparable. And they might already have been on an other star. Across that divine balsam scent ed stillness came the deep impera tive notes of a bell. Clavering twitched his shoulders impatiently. "Let them go on their screaming picnic," he said. “We stay here. Did you mean that, Mary?" “Yes, I meant it. We will not go to Europe at all —except to visit my Dolomites some day. When yen are writing I'll come up here." "I don't know that 1 shall ask that sacrifice of you. A part of your brain is asleep now. but it is a very active and insistent part when pwake. In time you might revert —and resentment is a fatal canker; but let's leave It open, it is generally a mistake to settle thingy off-hand. Let them alone ' and they settle themselves.” "Very well At all events, while we are here, I shall not givg it an other thought. The present at least is perfect.” "£es. it is perfect!” He nut both arms about her. The past was a blank to both. Their pulsing lips met in the wonder and the ecstasy of the first kiss of youth, of profound and perfect and Imper ishable love. They clung together exalted and exulting and for the moment at least they were one. LI They ate their dinner under the amused eyes of Mrs. Larsing, who had served dinners a deux before to couples that had “lost jheir way.” Afterward they sat by the fire and talked desultorily: a grfiat deal about themselves; sometimes wandering to the subjects that had $5,000 TO LOAN On Americus Residence Property Phone 83C LEWIS ELLIS IMP. TOO HIGH ® BIG RU BBKffl Let Business Fay the Freight Ko Policy to Bring Prosperi ty, Says L. G. Council (Continued From Page One) prosperity to Georgia. Millions in wealth heretofore invested here by Northern and Eastern capitalist-: i on the verge of withdrawal, and it is practically impossible to secure further investments hvre-.hv th-.-se interests. "T he reason is that lhe tax qu - tion is too unsettled td'p'ezpit these men to make investments in Georgia. With other Southern commonwealths holding their *door§ wide open to foreign investors, Georgia's law makers only a few weeks ago sought diligently for some means to tax these same investors out of our state altogether, being urged on in their elferts by the chief executive ■ -■< if. "Georgia lawmakers, some of :.ic.-c pony politicians actually un able to make a living, sit there in' Atlanta and spend mbney in millions —other people’s money, not their owi). Too many legislators go to Atlanta without any preliminary ex amination into the problems they’ snow within reasonable c rtainty must be' acted upon by the legisla ture as a whole. I'm a little airai I there is too little - otter.tion being : aid to the state's business, and this is the reason Georgians are de manding" a real business man in the office of Governor. "It is inconceivable to my mind that any addition:.! tax burden should be laid upon the shoulders of business in Georgia. Every pos sible avenue of taxation has been pretty well made u of in th< state, and certain politicians are still clam oring for more. Those men would lay an added income tax upon the business and industry of the state that they may have more money ti spend. Ail of the public'improve ments undertaken, such as building hard surfaced roads, the erection of new school houses and the buildin interested them most before they had met each other. Clavering told her of the many plays he li.id written, and burned; because in his inordinate respect for the dra ma he had found them, when not wholly bad. too good to be good enough. But the long practice ha# given him a certain mastery of technique, and when she had set his bra'” on fire he had had less ' : trouble than most young play- i wrights in compelling his imarina- I tion to adapt itself to the inexora- i able framework.

"So, as 1 sa(d in the beginning, the state of Georgia and the growth of every community in the state is 1 elng rcA.rded and held back by the ever-increasing load of taxes that is being piled upon the shoulders of business in the state. Georgia has reached- a point where some of J the reckless spending that has Deen '■.'.derated during past years must i end. "Un! , ;s this is done, the so-called common people of the state are go ! ing to experience a season of bard times’ by the side of which, - the sufferings of Southern people dui'i ’S reconstrudtibn days will pale Bfrio insignificance.

"Georgia needs a brave and, cour ageous man to handle the ship of state while this program is put over. There are many such men in Geor fia.” Mr. Council also • admitted that had received a number of letters recently urging him to give consid- ; e’-.ition to the thought of making j tiie.. race for governor, these being appreciated, but not sufficient to induce him to get into the political arena.
