David Kerr is the political boss of the town, Mid' Is anxious to prevent his daughter learning' of his real character. Kendall, representing the Chicago packers, is ne­ gotiating with Judge Gilbert, Kerr's chief adviser, for a valuable franchise." They fear the opposition of Joe Wright, editor of the reform paper. Kerr asks the as­ sistance of Judge Gilbert in introducing; Gloria to Belmont society, arid promises to help him put through the packers franchise and let him have all the s.-aft. OloHa meets Joe Wright ftt the Gilberts. Zt appears they are on Intimate terms, having met previously in a touring party In Europe. The Gilberts invite Gloria to Stay with them pending the refurnishing: of the Kerr home. Wright begins his fight against the proposed franchise in the col­ umns of his paper, the Belmont News. Kerr, through his henchmen, exerts ev­ ery Influence to hamper Wright in the publication of his paper. Gloria realizes •he is not being received by the best so­ ciety and is unhappy.

I'm sick jand tired of It all here, Gloria, To- Itay it has seemed like the game isn't ijmnttrt&tf candle. What do you think?" "I'm all in the dark, too," was her fession. Slowly and sorely in the adow of her shattered hopes and his happy conflict of duty and desire re they being drawn closer together an even they had been when they .ughed with the spring and dreamed Kthe days to come in a radiant sun-ine of unwhispered love. ' "I don't know what to think," Gloria Went on in a low tone. "I don't seem jto understand Belmont" >v "Why don't you go away? Don't u want to?" "What tor?

Ij^^The appealing way she locked tit 1dm, her whole soul welling up in her eyes, brought him to hl£ feet and set him to pacing nervouBly up and down. He looked fatigued, distressed, beside jhlmself with care. She forgave him WTerything but his studied refusal to let her share whatever weighed upon jhim. Could he not see, she thought, pow she yearned to tell him thai {whither he went there she would go jalBo, that his Joys would be all her < Hoys and that his burdens would be divided with her, that love divided all sorrow and doubled all joy? • Wright ~ could stand it no longer, •fie saw her before him, trembling With Chat same emotion that shook him, itflame with the same flre that burned •within him, mutely questioning him !" f«rith her big, soulful eyes. How oould lie make amends for that month of meglect except by telling her what she long ago had guessed, but what more {recently she had a right to doubt? He lelt weak where he wanted to be rong. To hear from her lips that e loved him was all that he needed make him Invincible. With her ac- owledged love in his heart there as nothing he could not do. "Oh, Gloria, I can't tell you what a fight I'm making. Ypu wouldn't un« Jderstand. ' Business Is business, out- He stepped between her and the door, letting her take several steps forward, because they brought her closer to him, before he said: "No, Glorif, you must hear me, I didn't mean to speak now, of all time*, but it had to be some day, and per­ haps it is all for the best now." The woman leaned her hand upon the table for support, turning half away from him. % "Dont Joe, please dont," She mur­ mured. "I must go." "No, no, I must tell you. You've asked me if you could help me. I want you to help me; you can help me always. I love you. I want you to be my wife. I have loved you, oh. so long; and, most of all, I've felt that you have needed me. Don't tell me that it was just selfishness, dear, that made me feel that my protecting arms should be about you always. Love Is love, a law unto Itself alone. We must recognize it and bow to It, because it brings us happiness." He, came a step nearer, but she did not turn to him. She stood half turned away, her eyes downcast, her lips parted into half a smile. Her breath came fast and she could feel her heart beat. Then she heard him say In a lower tone, so gently: "Nothing to cay, Gloria? Can't you believe ipe?" She turned to find herself gaxlng Into his eyes. "Yes, I believe In you--aa I believe in my father." This answer was not enough. He had asked her to be his wife. Not yet had she replied. "Say that you eare tor me, Gloria; tell me that you love me." "I've always cared, Joe; X do lore you." "For bettor or worse?" H? held out his arms. "To the ehd of the world," she whis­ pered aa his arms were folded about her. And as their lips met in their first kiss, Wright saw In her eyes the light that never yet has abona on land or sea.

At this declaration she caught her :i ||v-^jbreath. Joy, she found, could some­ times prove the twin of pain. That this man, this strong, fearless man ^ a.

Hayes Isn't eomhii/ .ITv •' Even as Wright held Gloria in his arms there came bach to him her words: "Yes, I believe in you--as I believe in my father." They were like lead about his heart. and cautioned him that he must get her away from Belmont as quickly as possible. Words of love must be post­ poned, new-found bliss be treated as commonplace, until he had finished his hard task of persuading her to go away. "You've made me supremely happy, Gloria. I want you to believe in me and trust me--always." She smiled up at him her love and confidence as she answered, T do, I do." "I want you to be happy, and I know you're not happy in Belmont. You must go away at once. I'll foilpw YOU." "But why?" she questioned. The smile was still there, but surprise peeped forth from her eye^ "I'm happy now." Wright laughed at her with that de­ lightfully patronizing air of possession that lovers assume, caught her in his arms once more and kissed her. "I know, dear, but you'll be happier. I can't explain. You wouldn't under­ stand. Can't you trust me?" "Ye-es, but father would--" "He won't oppose your goto£, I know he won't." At thought of David Kerr and the fierce fight they were waging Wright became insistent. "Do this for me, Gloria. You can get a late train for St. Louis tonight. I'll have Mfs. Gilbert go with you. Next week I'll join you, and well make plans for the wedding." But, Joe, that's so foolish," she complained. "I like- Belmont im­ mensely »now." Then she struck a more serious note. "Besides, it wouldn't be fair to father. He's put me through, and I'm not going to dis­ appoint him. To go away--well, I feel it would be disloyal." "You can write him we're engaged, be pleaded. "Then I'll go to see him."" Gloria could not altogether under­ stand his insistence. Then, too, to send her away just after they had found each other was something she could not explain to her father. Further discuQBlon was put out'of the question by the appearance' of Judge Gilbert. "Would you object to waiting for Mrs. Hayes In this office?" he asked, pointing to the room next to that in which the men had been conferring. He smiled as he added, "Mr. Wright came on business, you know." "I think he transacted it with me, Judge Gilbert," she could not help replying. Then she asked Wright with a smile, "You won't be long?" He walked with her to the door, to Gilbert's surprise, crossed the thresh­ old and went into the little office, Somehbw or other--such things are al­ ways mysteries, certainly they are ac­ cidents--the door seemed to close of its own accord. "Wait for me a little while," he said, taking both her hands in his. "It's go­ ing to be such a glorious world for us. I never knew what happiness meant till now. To be wherever you were has always made life sweet, but now everything takes oa a new meaning transmuted by the glory of being loved by you She loosed one hand from his gV**p and put it over his mouth. "Naughty boy, you must g6 back to ' mustn't listen to you. When I listen to you, you make me forget every­ thing but that I love you. And' now I want to be alone and think." To leave her for an instant was like having his life's sun in eclipse. At last she freed herself from his arms and bade him go. He had gone as far as the door, his hand upoa the knob, when she quickly crossed the small space between them, threw her arms around his neck and whispered: "Remember, dear, in whatever you doi, I'm with you. May my love and my confidence support you ever." It seemed to him like a benediction. Again were his arms around her, again their lips pledged their hearts' last­ ing love. Gently he released himself from her embrace, and with a parting smile was gone. Wright Btepped into the library, his eyes upon Gloria until the closed door shut her from his sight. He turned to find himself face to faoe with David Kerr. While Wright had been talking to Gloria, Kerr and Kendall had joined the attorney in the library. As soon as the editor saw with whom he had to deal, he recognized how hard pressed were his i friends the enemy, since no go-between was employed. He was being asked to treat with the boss of Belmont himself. "You know Mr. Kendall and Mr. Kerr," Gilbert said, without resorting to his sodlal manner, as was his cus­ tom. ThlB he knew to be a case of diamond cut diamond, and there was no occasion for any seeming show of friendliness. "I had the pleasure of meeting tb^m at your house." It was easy to see from the direct opening of the conversation that there was to be little beating around the bush. Gilbert took a chair at the bead of the long library table. Wright sat to his left, where he could see the door of the room in which Gloria waited for him. Opposite to him were Kerr and Kendall. It's been a hot campaign," were the boss' first words, "but we can afford to let bygones be bygones." Wright was not to be led Into any admission which might be used against him later, and therefore would not as­ sent to this. What I can afford has nothing to do with it. The one question is: Can Belmont afford to give itself up to this' terminal trust that leaves no atonn nn- turned in its effort to steal the streets and parks of the town? That is only the first step. Where do you propose It shall end?" ; That's where you misrepresent our side, Mr. Wright," said Kendall. "The undertaking you speak of is perfectly legitimate, for the dlrfect benefit of Belmont. I challenge you to prove that what yoii have accused us of be­ ing about to do is really the intention of this company. Nothing, sir, is far­ ther from it" "That's all been gone over," Wright said, turning to the lawyer at the head of the table. "There's nothing new to be said along that line. Was it for this you sent for me, Judge Gilbert?" "No. I asked you to come over here to consider an offer for your paper. Is tfye News for sale?" "That depends. 'For sale' when ap­ plied to a newspaper may sometimes have an ugly meaning." "Of course," Gilbert was quick to add, *1 mean as a Newspaper prop­ erty." Tm a poor man, Jttfge CHTbwt," Wright began slowly. "I oouldn't re* fuse to consider an offer--**• He got no further, for Kendatf eac elaimed: "That's what I thought." • "Wait a minute," Wright ask>e6 lifting his hand in warning that he •had not finished. "You interrupted me before I was through. _ What I say is this: I couldn't refuse to consider an offer from a proper quarter." • "What does the source matter to you?" Kendall inquired., "You're hu- jtnan. You want money as bad as any (Df US." • s Before replying, Wrighfe gaze rest­ ed for an instant on the door behind Which h!s heart's happin6S9 wn!t»rt Her words came to him, strengthening him to meet the tempter: "Remember, dear, in whatever you do, I'm with you. May my love and my confidence sup- .port you ever." "I may want money--need'it--worse than any of you," he confessed. "But it must come only one way--honestly." "Nothin' dishonest 'bout sellia"a pa­ per, is there?" growled Kerr. , "I can't tell in this case until I hear what Judge Gilbert's offer is " -It's simply thiB: I have some cli­ ents who wich to purchase your par per." ' ' ' * "> "Mr. Kerr and Mr. Kendall* I svp- pose." v.. • "Does It make ; difference. to you?" ..V ^ "It may to Belmont." , "What's Belmont got with ttf asked Kerr. "A newspaper can't change hands like a stock of groceries," Wright re­ torted impatiently. "You know I want to be open and above board with yoy, Mr. Wright," soothed Gilbert. "So 111 tell you that Mr. Kendall and Mr. Kerr are inter­ ested in this offer. I know the paper's mortgaged. WhatH you sell for, the purchasers to assume the mortgage and all other debts, and possession to be given this afternoon?" Wright merely looked at him and shook his head. What he thought he almost hated to say. It hurt him to think that they could believe he w.ould even listen to such a proposition. "Then," continued Gilbert, "another basis on which to'deal would give you nominal control until after election, but my clients would not expect the paper to be so vehement in its denun­ ciations in the next few days." "Judge Gilbert," the editor replied quietly, but with great earnestness, "that's an offer I don't thank you for. These men haven't enough money to- buy my paper." "You bought the paper," snarled Kerr in an ugly manner. "Yes*" came the answer right back at him, "but you want to buy my self- respect" The two men glared at each other, but the boss; did not derfy the asser­ tion. The efder man was beginning to rage Inwardly. So accustomed had he become to the exercise of auto­ cratic power in Belmont that he oould not reconcile himself to being thwart­ ed, especially when Success was' so vital to him. "There's a good profit in it for you," was the conciliatory remark of Judge Gilbert. "In dollars and cents, perhaps," ad­ mitted Wright, "but there are some things that have a greater value than mere money; peace of mind, for in­ stance, and the deserved respect of the community, and honor. I cant sell out the yeople who are depending on me, the people of Belmont.',' The men across the table looked at him as If they thought him crazy. They knew he had foolish, ideas, but they had not dreamed he would let such an opportunity slip through his fingersv He was the owner of a news­ paper that was losing money every day, and they had as much as asked him to name his own figure for his property. They could not understand how honor was part of the transaction in the sale of a newspaper, even in the last days of a strong light against the organization. What phould he care about the respect of the community when he had money enough to take him out of that community and keep him comfortable until he was ready to get another paper somewhere else to exploit his Insane ideas of title righteousness?

British sci­ entific surveyors report that its re­ markable productiveness is due in large part to the diligence of earth­ worms, which have been digging it for thousands of yearB. Observations are recorded showing that during the active six months of each year the castings of the worms brought to the surface there amount to about 240,- pounds an acre. Spread out evenly, this would make an appreciable an­ nual layer. Darwin estimated that the castings of five years in England would cover the whole kingdom with a layer, of new earth an inch thick. In the Nile valley the layer would doubtless be thicker were the worms equally numerous and busy, as ap­ pears to be the case, because the proportion of non-arable land there is much less than in the British isles. It must be remembered, also, that in addition to the beneficial service of stirring up the soil, admitting air and water more easily, and bringing deep deposits to the surface, there is a Constant fertilization effected by the vegetable matter dragged Into their burrows by the worms, much of which is left to decay where It will do the most good.--Harper's Weekly. * 'i * • • ; '^}vC Evolution In the Miklxg.

I will agree that may reach the height of his earning power younger in life. But he will not continue to rise beyond that. You know that the less a man has in his head the more he must depend upon bis physical energy. Physical energy is on the wane after 40 or 45. The man of 65 who has to depend upon his physical energy to earn his living is certain to find himself in very poor circumstances. The man who has de­ veloped his intellect will at the age of sixty-five find himself managing to live without depending too much upon his physical energy. That is one reason why life grows more beau­ tiful every year to the man who is educated, while the life of the unedu­ cated man grows less beautiful and less interesting after he has reach­ ed the zenith of his physical pow­ ers at the age of about forty or forty- five.

Some of the coats have a deep yoke or enormous collar and cuffs of fur and a very deep band on the %coat bottom, rounding up in the front and narrowing until it meets the collar, the cental part of the coat being of vel­ vet, satin or cloth: , One superb model in fur and bro­ cade is fashioned of ermine and white silver brocade, the fur forming the deep yoke and peasant , sleeves, while the brocade runs up and forms the en­ tire lower part of the coat, and the big ft revers and cuffs which are turned ck against th§ EleeveB. , Whole coats of ermine are many. Sometimes the pure white ermine is trimmed in the black and white talis or perhaps the black and white ermine is trimmed in black fur, fineBt breit- schwang, silky caracul or black for.

And yet it does seem as if a large proportion of these very cost­ ly models might be sucessfully copied by many a tailor or dressmaker who would have been incapable of originat­ ing them. Even so, the beautiful ma­ terials would make the coat expen­ sive, but at least the goodly sum paid for the maker's reputation and originality would be eliminated, and that means cutting down the price by at least one-half; while the profit of the importer who brought the model over, another large item, can be counted off the cost of the garment MARY DEAN.
