Waren Harding, of Ohio,
. 73.1 fa- the first newspaperman to be-
come President of- the United States.
Should the Democrats nominate Gov-
ernor Cox, it is certain that the 'next,
President will be a working journal-
ist. There are millions of Au erjieans,
to say nothing,, of Canadians, who
have never heard of Marion, Ohio,
much less the Marion Star, but it wall
in Marion and through the medium
of his newspaper that Senator Hard-
ing first became prominent in politics,
and 'eventually a great enough force
to seeure the Republican noinination
for the Presidency. In public life he
has ! _few enc.tes
, and this
qual-
ity served hips in good stead at Chi-
cago. Johnson l,ad plenty of ene-
mies; Wood . was distrusted by the
managers as one who had had little
political experience, and might not
be amenable to party discipline.
Lowden, too, was, a strong character,
and it was thought that the cam-
paign fund disclosures would make
hirer a hard man to elect.
Mr. Harding was born on Novem-
ber2, 1865,in the village
of
Corsica,
Ohio.
His father -was George Hat -d-
ing, a practising physician, and ran
a farm at the same time. He was
descended firoin a Scottish family that
settled some generations ago . in
Pennsylvania. On his mother's side

known Van Kirk family -being

cei-v cd the usual country school edu-

Ohio Centri;l College, an institution
now . defunct. In his spare hours he
used to do odd chores around the
village newspaper office, leas' ging to
set type and getting a general exper-
ience in all-eon:10 country journal-
ism, In lis 8 44 the family moved to
Mariam, Ohio. and Dr. Harding and
his son between thein bought the
Star newspaper of that town, Warren
beeoming editor. Ten days after he
assumed this position the Republican
National Convention was held in Chi-
cago. and the young editor providing
himself with a pass went to the city
to cheer 4for Blaine. while the paper
was left to get fiseif out the best it
could. The result was that when the
young editor returned home he found
that the paper had suspended.
He then offered his ser' ces to the
opposition paper, the Marion Mirror,
a Democratic newspaper, and began
work ar a reporter. He was making
good progress in this department, and
so satisfactory was his workothat his
employer instructed him to turn edi-
torial writer and denounce Blaine.

HARPER & BROTHERS
(Continued from last week.)
Slowly, provokingly, taut tingly,
triumphantly Mr. Wallin drew . his
forefinger through the air under
Kezar's.nose. "Wait till you get the
copyright before you try to control
. anything!" he advised. He sat down
on the bench. "Now, Seth, pipe 'er
up from where you left of."'
Wallin, in ' seating himself, , had 1
turned his back on. Kezar with utter
indifference. The young man ' ex-
hibited no more belligerency. It was
plain that 'the boss had been sub-
jugated somethingeffective
g d b y more effect e
than the threat of the warden's fist.
He stood and glowered at the door
which Clare had closed behind her.
The hired man came back from his
attendance on Marthorn.
"I want to go to. bed, Dolan!"
"And you'll find it a goods one, Mr.
Kezar! Squire Marthorn says there
isn't a better one this side of New
York City— and that recommenda-
tion from him ought to make you
sleep easy in it, Ben! Lamp, towels
and key for Mr. Kezar. Twenty-
three for Mr, Kezar."
The boss scowled at the landlord,
but Mr, Dolan's broad face gave no
hint that he had a sense of burner of
his own. -
CHAPTER XXII
The meeting, of three..-jthe woods,
triangle of two bucks and one doe;
and the doe is the victor.
,Kerfneth rose earliest of all Dolan's
guests; with full intent to be abroad
before anybody else was stirring; he
was thus able to hurry to the river
for his morning • plunge, with moc-
casins on his bare feet and a blanket
shrouding his pajamas.
The' east was ruddy with the first
flush of dawn when he stepped out
on the frosty grass. The skies had
cleared:, the wind had died, and in the
morning's vast calm the glow behind
the trees was like a fire beneath a
grid) and was promise that Indian
summer was yet to smile benignantly
on the country of the Totten.The river was .'a polished mirror
surface; the eye could not distinguish
where land and water joined; the
silence was so profound that it claim-
ed -attention -even as sound might. He
strode toward the river, already tingl-
ing with anticipation. In spite of the
indifferent success of the evehirrg be-
fore, he was not downcast. One
could not be discouraged when look-
ing up into the glow of a morning
like that.
Mr. Dolan hailed him from the
door of the storehouse, where the
sarly-bird landlord was slicing ham.
Kenneth stopped at 'the door end
leaned in, his hands . clutching the
low lintel, inhalfng the aroma of the
smoked flesh. Mr. Dolain did not
suspend operations; savory slice af-
ter slice he laid over with his keen
knife. "Message! Miss Kav:aatagl'
wants to see you before you -leave
this morning."
"Slee dces? How do you know?"
"Came down last evening and told
me so with her own mouth. Let
me say a word- about this han r L- it's •
ceb-smoked and I—"
"But what_ did she say?"
"I told you what she 'said. Tha.t's

mind about
me a piece as big as a rug -and
eat it. Some • appetite this morn'ng,
Dolan!"
He ran toward the river; the canoe -
shed shut off view from the tavern.
Ire threw blanket and pajamas upon
a post and drove from the end of the
landing float. He swam far _out,
splashing gloriously in the middle of
the river, returning with a paddle-
wheel over -arm that had won him a
'silver cup at the Nestor pool contests.
`The waves which followed+ him to the
shore broke' the thin margin ice with
tinklings like fairy bells.
"It's a matter, of taste, as ` the
feller said when the bumblebee stung
him on the tongue," Mr. Dolan in-
formed the.admiring hired man. "I
like ice -water well enough as a :drink
—but there .I stop."
He sighed, squinting along the knife
and marked an `extra width for the
next slice of ham after he had watch!
ed Kenneth run back to the tavern:
"After that slosh to the middle of
the river and back this hunk will be
about his size," he said. "But what
I lose on him. I'll make up on Jesse
Wallin. He's 'eating gin for all three
meals right now."
W�lten Kenneth, radiant and ruddy,
stepped forth again into the morning.
Donald Kezar was pacing the nar-
Thw 'porch, with the air of a ratan who
was on sentry -go and proposed+ to at-
tend strictly to mousiness.
Gossip had given Kenneth only a
vague "idea of Donald, Kezar; he knew-
the fellow was more or less of a
border rowdy with a hankering to
stir trouble. Kenneth had net made
overmuch out of the affair at the
church in Ste. Agatlie • except to re-
member that a fellow had wanted to
start .a fight between the X. X. men
and the Temiscouata employees; the
fellow had some e connection with the
X. K. It was in Kenneth's mind to
hold him to account for that lie which
had presented the son of Stephen
Marthorn in such hateful light; but
he was willing to make allowances
for a rdwdy's bumptiousness. How-
ev?er, all at once, he found himself
speculating on what this upstanding
experts are young chap might mean to Clare, be -
from Amer- sides being her field boss.
- t Kenneth '.had- stepped off the porch
that class to which Kenneth's slight-
ing consideration hadre1egated him.
He was evidently not an ordinary
woodsman. Kenneth remembered
that `somebody had said that Kezar'+
grandfather had long been John Kav-
anagh's closest friend. '
Ile founds that Kezar was return-
ing his share with a particular amount
of interest.
A.11' at once the alfair.at the church
on the day of the Kavanagh funeral,
an affair which Kenneth, in his aver -
Sion .for grudges, had half put out of
his mind, recurred in all its hateful-
ness and began to sting his memory,
poignantly. It ass red a new aspect,
a new importance: Sudden impulse
forced Kenneth to the rail of the
porch. He leaned• on it and spoke in
low tones. "We seem to produce ea
most unpleasant effect on each other.
Do you mind explaining to me, if
you have any definite notion, what
it's all about?"
Marthorn's rather languid, teasing
manner silenced Kezar more effectually
than eany threats. He walked away.
The city man was evidently inviting
a contest of wits and tongues, and
Kezar knew his own, -deficiencies. He
muttered something about making no
talk.
"I'm sorry for that. I have no
definite notion of my own about the
thing. I can't explain it to myself.
I really hoped. you might, seeing
that you disliked me enough' at our
first meeting to tell Miss Kavanagh
and her assembled friends a most
barefaced whopper of a lie about me.
Have you ever confessed to her or to
anybody else you lied about me?" -
He began with sardonic drawl. He
finished, speaking sharply and angrily.
He developed passion while he talked
and, he was rather surprised to find
that he had) been harboring such un-
suspected rancor.
Kezar did not speak or turn his,
head; he stood at the end of the
porch. -
"Don't you hear what I'm asking
you.?"
He began to distrust his self-control
while he waited' for a reply; that
broad back which ,was turned indif-
ferently invited asault.
He found a double pleasure in
Clare Kavanagh's appearance 'at that
moment; her presence gave him joy;
she enabled ,him to control himself
in the matter of Kezar. Her placid
face gave no hint that she had heard
anything out of the way or perceiv-
ed any menace in the situation,
"We will stroll about for a few
minutes while we talk, Mr. Mar-
th orn."
"If it's anything private I'll go
away, proffered the field' boss, and
her expression told Kenneth that this
blundering way of meeting her tact-
fulness in eliminating a listener had
irritated her.
"It is not necessary for you to go
away, Donald!" She swung off with
a bit of assurance in her stride and
Kenneth marched beside her.
"I want tin talk with you , this
morning in `the open—out of doors,
sir. Somehow I seem to see more
clearly—feel freer—judge more com-
petently- when I am out of doors."
She smiled. "I'm going to ask you
to explain that matter to me just as
you +had planned to do. I have
thought the thing over and I'm afraid
the little tavern sitting -room rather
cramped my perception and narrow-
ed my views."
"I wanted to talk with you there.
It seemed more—more sociable,"
confessed Kenneth.
"But it's out here that I hope and
believe I'l'l be • able to take a broader
estimate," she said, her gesture indi-
cating sky and forest. "Last night
in that little room I was undoubtedly
an opinionated young woman who al-
lowed her personal prejudices to
stand in front of what may ,be the
true interests of my company. Mr.
Marthorn, I'm ready,out here, to
represent my men instead of myself."
"I'll state conditions as frankly and
fully as I am justified+ by my under-
standing with the Temiscouata folks."
With that preface, pointedly spoken,
he went into earnest and rapid ex-
position of the situation and the pro-
spects along the Toban. She did not
interrupt hint nor -did she express
any doubts after he had finished.
• "Thank God for His outdoors, Mr.
Marthorn! she cried. "It's the place
for talk when one wants to be honest
and believe in honesty! I take what
you have given me for my help! I
-am grateful." She put out her hand
and grasped his.
"So now you understand why you
must have a good+ . lawyer and a
mighty capable engineer, especially
the last. I can co-operate with the
.(right man. Let us agree now t
compromise, you and I, in so far as
we are able."
"How far will the Temiscouata
folks allow you to go? You must
pardon me, but I failed to see, yester-
day, any indication that they are will-
ing to give the X. K. a show."
"They must allow • me to go as far
as the right can go with me! I
propose to b,e conservative and work
for mutual best interests. When the
Temiscouata directors fail to stand
behind me they will be butting a-
gainst what's right, and I have the
courage to stand up and tell 'em so.
I'll frankly confess that my position
does seem to be anomalous, but here
is an opportunity for you and me to
show some of the other folks that we
can bring new times and better policy
to the. river."
She flushed slightly when he plead-
ed so warmly for association with
her.
"I certainly do promise to keep pace
with you in doing what's right, Mr.
Marthorn."
The girl became aware that Ken-
neth Marthorn was admiring her in
most cordial fashion; her father had
always declared that the Kavanaghs
did • not lie to themselves. Quite
frankly and open-eyed she looked at
the young man and 'did not lose her
composure. Her vanity was stirred
no more than her poise. For was not
this young adventurer the ever -ready
love -maker, the cad in pursuit of
women, the complacent conqueror of
hearts? She felt mordant ikclina-
tion t� advise him: to go and flirt with
Dame Eiri
ne or even with
Mae

Dolan's cows, if he felt that he really

condition . * the woods.
• In spite of her new respect for his
chivalry in affairs of business, she
knew that contempt was stirring in
her. He could not honestly offer love.
This was his philandering nature
which he could not hold in 'check!
Therefore his transitory notice was ]]]]
not merely not flattering—it was sire=
suiting. She turned away lest revela-
tion of her scorn skould prejudice the
X. K. interests.
She called to Donald and he start-
ed to come to` them, kicking little ob-
structions viciously. '
"I'm going _to do everything I can,
Mr. Marthorn, to- showyou that I in-
tend to meet you half -way in what
you have proposed. I think you
know that Mr. Kezar is my most
trusted friend." Kezar was still'
some distance away.
"I have been wondering just—" He
stopped suddenly as a man checks
himself when he finds that he is re-
vealing hidden thoughts by speech.
I regard Donald Kezar very high-
ly!" Her pride prompted - her to
make that statement. She desired to
avoid any open rupture which must
result if Marthorn ever ventured far-
ther with questionable attentions.
Those attentions could be only the
humiliating jestings with love with
which impressionable men amuse
themselves. "I am giving him charge
of most of my affairs."
Donald, black -visaged; with sullen
ire, came and. stood beside her.
"Mr. Marthorn, in as few words as
possible run over to Mr, Kezar the
uggestions you have made to me. I
can answer' for Donald's fidelity and
T promise that he will make no talk."
Kenneth hesitated.
"I ask," she added, "so that Donald `
will understand why I amgiving him
certain 8rders; - and when you hear
me give him those orders you will
know that I tam resolved' to go ahead
just as you have suggested." •
"L am at your service, Miss Kav-
anagh!" He stood very straight. He
leveled challenging and hostile gaze
at Kezar. He did not speak at once.
All of a sudden the principles of this
modern knight errant' had been put
to the teat and he founds his chivalry
engaged in a stiff fight with his plain;t
ordinary, and rather vulgar • human
nature. The girl had actually flaunt-
ed an accepted lover in his face—it
did seem like that, He hated to ad-
mit that he was propped on the same
old pedestal which serves for most
men—self-interest. All ardor was
quenched in him. The • girl did not
value him, it seemed. His suspicions
were roused, This looked like cold-
blooded' and calculating determination
to use him for the Benefit of the X.
K. He was having hard work to hold
himself from telling her and Donald
Kezar to go to the devil. She had
seemed to be so alone—so unprotect-
ed! Desire to shield her; had appeal-
ed to him like a holy sentiment. But
now that she had called this man into
the conference, after such suggestive
preface, Kenneth felt as if a league
had. been formed and that he ought
to be' protecting himself. In his con-
fusion
onfusion he was not thinking clearly.
Promptly Mr. Marthorn put on
enough cold politeness aad frigid re-
serve to suit even Miss Kavanagh's
maidenly prejudices. In fact, she
was not quite as much phased with
her success as she expected' to be.
Mr. Marthorn, with his pride in arms,
was extremely forbidding as a pos-
sibzle coadjutor. He seemed toy have
guessed at something which had
roused his contempt. ° She was in-
wardly abashed, for she was not sure
that her suspicions were treating him
fairly.
All at once he realized that the sil-
ence had been prolonged. "I beg
your pardon! It's this way; Mr.
Kezar." He did not take the field
boss into his confidence as to motives.
It was terse, plain statements. re-
garding the advantages of a compro-
mise between the rival interests . on
the river. Mr. Marthorn did not
compliment Mr. Kezar to the extent
of making any explanations. Mr.
Kezar broke in to demand something
in that/ line.
Mr. Miarthorn replied' stiffly that he
could not go into anyfurther details
at that time. "Miss Kavanagh, I
think, understands that phase of the

Where there is Extreme Nervous-
ness and you are "all run down" and
"tire easily" it would ibe just as well

The e � intimat' n so that there was a
confidence between them in which he
could not share, and Marthorn's man-
ner when he refused to give informa-
tion, put - teeth into the rage which
Kezar had been developing.
"I don't take any work in the
thing!"
"I have not asked for any com-
ments, Donald. Please =listen to any-
thing else Mr. Marthorne as to say"
"But we may as well trig it •right
where it stands," ineisted the boss
"It's fishy! They don't mean what
they say. It's to tole us on. If he
has made you believe in their promise,
by talking to you, I don't want to hear
any more of this talk. He has fool-
ed yoii. But he can't fool me. I'm
awake."
Kenneth bowed and walked away.
"Wait ra moment, Mr. Marthorn."
pleaded Clare. "Donald, you must
apologize for your rudeness."
"I don't believe in doing business
with gloves on! They're trying to
put something over and t I have seen
through it. You heard him—he won't
talk to me. He has taken advantage
of you because you don't understand
the river." •
"The reason why I do not talk to
you is because words can't .handle
the situation after the remarks you
have just made," stated Kenneth, who
had stopped and turned. "To handle
it in the obvious way is -quite impos-
sible just now."
"You listen to what I tell you to do,
Donald! I called you over here so
that Mr. Marthorn might hear! Start
down -river just as soon as you have
finished breakfast. Consult with your
grandfather and then go to town and
secure the -best lawyer and the best
engineer you oan hire. I hope that
doesn't sound vague, Mr. Marthorn!
But I can't give Donald more explicit
directions; my father never- meddled
with lawyers and had no use for an
engineer. I can only. send Dbnald
searching."

Why �if�e Need More
Money/
Last year our rates for service were increased by ten per cent.
That was the first general increase in telephone rates in over
twenty-five years.
To -day the general level of commodity prices is three\ hundred
and fifty per cent over what it was twenty-five years ago.
Our operating expenses in 1919 had increased 99 per cent over
1915, while gross revenue was only 49 percent greater.
Wag ,absorbed over 56 per cent of our revenue last year, and
our wa ill this year will be at least 35 per cent higher than
in 1919!
It is apparent that if we are to continue to pay good wages, and
iso ensure good service, and at the same time pay such a return
to investors as will attract new capital to enable us to extend
our plant, we must earn more money!
We must accomplish both of these things, else service to our
present patrons will suffer and new applicants for service can-
not be accommodated!
Increased rates are the only source from which such furthet
revenue can come !
