Mfcn From tht North By TESS FULTON 6 by McClure Newspuptr Syndtc&ta WNU Servlc# poLLY read the letter and tossed It * <-arelessly to her rriommate. "Darling, here's s Chance for one of •your Infernal practical Jokefc," she' suggested, her cold eyes hiding in their dthnuiess a faint twinkle. "That's from Allan Dyer. I met him last sum mer up North. He was good looking enough but a bit rusty In appearance --said he was camping on the lake and, he looked it; and besides, he was poor. The man who interests me is the boy who ciln pay the waiter's check without looking as if he won dered how much It left him." Carol smiled as she picked up the letter. "Your bright idea. Icy one. Is for me to carry on yotfr correspond ence with him; Is that It?" "He writes an interesting letter, and you can siring him alortg; and when I go up there next year, 1 cftn have him to pfay around with." "Polly, "you're-, heartless ',** "Mebhe so. little one, but, this ts a heartless age." - Carol mused over the letter. It .was chatty and Interesting, and suddenly she decided to answer it. Polly in formed her. Immediately, that Allen had never seen her . handwriting, so the hoax would work. Carol wrote the reply, employing some of Polly's characteristic phrases, amused and pleased herself at the washer letter shaped Itself. A week later. Allan's reply came and Carol learned something of his life. It seemed he was working In n lumber camp, and the letter told of his life there. The letters began 'to interest her keenly, although she took care to keep the discovery from Polly who found the letters only mildly Interesting and soon stopped reading thAn. Slowly a personal note crept Into the letters. Before she realised It. the same mood was upon her. "Here's a nice situation!" Carol told herself one evening. "Writing •Polly's letter to a chap who evidently Is thinking of her tendeHy, while I'm beginning to think ofMilm the same way! I'll drop him!" But she found It much easier to say It than to do It Polly left for s two weeks' trip for her firm, and with her bright, some what cynical presence absent from the room, Carol found It easier to dream and muse over the man to whom she was writing. Polly had been gone only a few days when Carol went to the door to learn from th * maid that "A man from the North" would like to see her. Carol was stunned. "But she tsn't here. Kate!" Kate grinned. "He said If Polly wasn't here, he liked to see any friend of hers." Carol thought a moment "Send him np, Kate," she said with decision, but her mind was fluttering. Carol went to the window. A long, powerful-looking roadster was at the curb. "It can't be Allan," she told herself. The door opened Into their living room, and a man, brown of face, and almost filling the doorway, faced her. "I'm sorry to learn that Polly 1s away, but glad that you are here." His gray, fine eyes were friendly. "You see, I'm right from.the woods, hungry for a good time, and I hope yon will run around with me a little--some plays, dances, etc." Carol laughed Inwardly as she thought of the Joke on Polly. • They did play around--a gay, gorgeous week. He seemed to have plenty of money that he spent freely but wisely, and he certainly was good, company. j. , "Oh, this Is. awful!" "Carol monnejl one night, as she tossed her evening dress aside. ' I'm In love with him and he's In love with Polly! And when Polly gets here--Gosh! what a mlx-up!" , She saw no solution, but one came the next evening. They were at a corner Mhle In orte of the delightful places he knew. He had been musing a hit ° "Carol. I was lonely up North at the camp. Yon see. my father owns the business, and. I was up there winning back after a bad dose of pneumonia The letters that came, so cheery amusing, pulled me out of dark hours; I made up my mind that the girl who wrote them should play with me and be with me all the rest of my life. Now. are you willing?" Carol ceased to breathe. "But--my dear--I--how did you know I wrote the letters? I--really--" A strong, steadying hand lay upon her trembling one. "Through a friend I learned that Polly had gone on, a business" trip, hilt the letters came from your address Just the same: and besides, the last of the letters sounded To oie--well--na I know you now," he said gently. "But Polly--" she began. "The point of It Is--do you care a bit for me?" he said quietly. The somewhat 'dizzy world around her cleared. She was looking Into the strong hut tender face of the man she loved. She let her hand turn and clasp his. "Of course I do. Allan, t have sln< « your first letter arrived."

Washington, April 18--It would appear from the rush of legislators to the White House this week that absence makes the heart grow fonder. The President's time has been taken up with conferences since his return and the strained relatlohs between the executive and legislative branches of the Federal government have been lessened. It is no secret that these meetings afre dictated by political necessit/ 8?>^^er than personal friendships. The legislative program is so badly snarled that the Chief Executive and his Administration lieutenants on Capitol Hdl now fully realize the mutuality of their interests. Just how long this co-operative spirit which has supplanted inter-party wrangling will' prevail is problematical. A rampant Congress handed the President a major defeat in overriding his veto of veterans' and Federal employes' compensation bills. It was construed as a notice that the national legislature considered itself emancipated from its role as a rubber stamp for the White House. Mr. Roosevelt learned to his chagrin that his leaders in the Senate and House could not lead in a crisis. To bolster his control he has taken to "talking things over" with various Congressional proponents and opponents of various legislative mea,?ures. His experience with a rebellious party-controlled Congress forecasts the gradual replacement of the Democratic leaders who are recognized as such solely because of their length of service and not by reason of ability. The younger men are booked to take over the reins at the next session. With the tax bill over the main hurdles, attention of the Senate is focused on sugar legislation. This* Commodity always provokes heated debate because of the struggle between American owners of sugar properties in Cuba and the states hero where sugar is a heavy crop. Senator Reed Smoot, who was the leading exponent of protection for Western states, is in forced retirement, but new Senate spokesmen for domestic sugar growers have ] replaced him. Western mining states are also actively engaged in promoting a bill to make silver a part of the monetary base. The President will eventually have to trade with the "silver bloc" in exchange for their votes on his major legislative program. Senate and House committees have wrangled for months over proposals to regulate the Stock Exchange. The protests against the original bill, as drafted by the so-called "Hot Dog Boys" or young lawyers sponsored by Professor Felix Frankfurter of Harvard Law School, have been effective in forcing frequent revision. The final draft will be a real compromise. The views of Mir. Roosevelt will be discerned by Congressional leaders before the measure is trotted out for open debate. , The primaries in various states are studied all too frequently in their national aspects. Instead of commenting as to the real local factors involved the party ballyhoo artists make much ado over "vindication" or "repudiation" of national policies. Republican strongholds compete with their equally well-entrenched Democratic opponents in labeling a primary contest as a "test of the Administration's power with the people." This "year, for instance, it happens that a Democrat is in the White House. The ?ame condition obtained while the Republicans held the fort. Henry Rainey, Speaker of the House, is a leader whose fk»sition entitles him to headlines. It was considered good partisan strategy to play up the heavy opposition confronting him at home in an effort to win the re-nomination. It appears, however,, that the defeat of his opponent was a foregone conclusion--so much a. cifich that the Speaker did not bother to conduct an aggressive campaign. Yet the contest provided ideal windowdressing for his fellow partisans to claim a victory for the Administr»> * * tion. Blowing on the sails may prdi» ^ voke hope, but it is not a determiifc* * ing factor in detecting where the real wind will blow. The controversy .over air mail caak cellations will undoubtedly prolong this session of Congress until June. The Republicans are making stronjf . bids to show that the Post Office De* partment was a party to a plot. Whito • the Wirt expose did not click, the jf- ; sue he raised will not be eafeily laughed off. The Republicans have aav.,. nounced their intention to keep this matter to the forefront. Their policy is apparently founded on the wellfounded fear of business men generally about government by experiment and under the auspices of professors who are rank amateurs in practical matters. It is observable that members of the so-called "brains trust*... have pulled in their horns during all V . the fuss raised by Dr. Wirt. No news of startling schemes have been fnig* » ; pested to the White House of late. ." Indeed they have refrained from their customary prophecies about the ne^f economic^ and social order as a ttire to iallev contention.
