You hau tell the uolj truui . ..< ji

yoc must have dreamed 1 ale;

that I didn't realize that 1 alone
was in fault, at the time. Th.,
boiling pot in my brain was male
ing too much noise. 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. ... No doubt my
dream of doing great things in Eu
rope was mere vanity ’’

planet we go to a highel star,
where our incompleteness here will
be made complete; and perhaps

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.

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

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

i end.

There are many such men in Geor

Mr. Council also • admitted that
had received a number of letters
