CHAPTER x.
WOMEN OF THE FUTURE.


From that day the doctors peace was
gone. Never was a quiet and orderly
household transformed so suddenly into
a beer garden Or happy man turned
into such completely miserable one.
He had never realized before how entire
ly his daughters had shielded him from
all the friction of life. Now that they
had not only ceased to protect him, but
had themselves become q source of trou-
BILE to him, he began to understand how
great the blessing was which he had en-
joyed and to sigh for the happy days be-
fore his girls had come under the infu-
ence Of his neighbor.
"You don't look happy" Mrs. West
macott had remarked to him one morn
ing. "You are pale and little off color.
You should come with me for a 10-mile
spin upon the tandem"
81 am troubled about my girls" They
were walking up and down in the gar
den. From time to time there sounded
from the house behind them the long sad
wall of a French horn.
"That is Ida," said he. ''She has taken
to practicing on that dreadful instru-
ment in the intervals Of her chemistry.
And Clara is quite as bad. declare it is
getting quite uncomfortable"
"Ah, doctor, doctorP' she cried, shak-
ing her forefnger with CLEAN Of her
white teeth. "You must live up to your
principles-you must give your daugh-
tiers the same liberty as you advocate for
other women"
Liberty, madam, certainly! But this
approaches to license"
''The same law for all, my friend"
She tapped him reprovingly on the arm
with her sunshade. "When you were 20,
your father did not, I presume, object to
your learning chemistry Or playing a
musical instrument. You would have
thought it tyranny if he had"
'But there is such a sudden change in

eyes, have noticed that they have
been very enthusiastic lately in the cause
of liberty. Of all my disciples I think
that they promise to be the most devoted
and consistent, which is the more natu-
raj since their father is one Of our most
trusted champions"
The doctor gave a twitch of Impotence
81 seem to have lost all authority" he
cried.
mo, no, my dear friend. They are a
little exuberant at having broken the
trammels Of custom. That is all"
You cannot think what l have had to
put up with, madam. It has been q
dreadful experience. Last night, after I
had extinguished the candle in my bed
room, placed my foot upon something
smooth and hard, which scuttled from
under me. Imagine my horror! I lit
the gas and came upon we'll known tor
toise which Clara has thought fit to in
troduce into the house. 1 call it filthy
custom to have such pets"
Mrs. Westmacott dropped him a little
courtesy. "Thank you, sir" said she.
''That is nice little side hit at my poor
Eliza"

II will do nothing of the kind. 1 do

mot at all, pa. You can't think what
a lot I have learned already. I'm to
carry green light to starboard and a
red to port, with white light at the
masthead, and flare up every Is minutes.
''Oh, won't it look pretty at night?'
cried her sister.
"And 1 know the fog signals. One
blast means that a ship steers to star
board, two to port, three astern, four
that it is unmanageable. But this man
asks such dreadful questions at the end
of each chapter. Listen to this: You
see red light. The ship is on the port
tack and the wind at north. What
course is that ship steering to point?"
The doctor rose with q gesture Of de-
spair. II can't imagine what has come
over you both," said he.
my dear papa, we are trying hard to
live up to Mrs. Westmacott's standard"
"Well, must say that do not ad-
mire the result. Your chemistry, Ida,
may perhaps do no harm, but your
scheme, Clara, is out of the question.
How a girl of your sense could ever en-
terrain such notion is more than can
imagine. But [ must absolutely forbid
you to go further with it"
but, pa" asked Ida, with an air of in
nocent inquiry in her big blue eyes,
"what are we to do when your CON-
mands and Mrs. Westmacott's advice are
opposed? You told us to obey her. She
says that when women try to throw off
their shackles their fathers, brothers and
husbands are the very first to try to
rivet them on again, and that in such a
matter no man has any authority

houses are relics of the dark ages"

ruined. And this dreadful smell" She
threw open the window and thrust her
little golden curled head out of it.
Charles Westmacott was hoeing at the
other side of the garden fence.
"Good morning, SIR" said Ida.
Good morning." The big man leaned
upon his hoe and looked up at her.
"Have you any cigarettes, Charles?"
Eyes, certainly"
"Throw me up two"
"Here is my case. Can you catch?"
A sealskin case came with soft thud
on the floor. Ida opened it. It was
full.
"What are these?" she asked
Egyptians"
"What are some other brands?'
"Oh, Richmond Gems and Turkish and
Cambridge. But why?"
Never mindr' She nodded to him
and closed the window. eve must re-
member all those, Clara" said she. 1--WE
must learn to talk about such things.
Mrs. Westmacott knows all about the
brands of cigarettes. Has your rum
Gomez"
Eyes, dear. It is here"
"And I have my stout. Come along
up to my room now. This smell is too
abominable. But we must be ready for
him when he comes back. If we sit at
the window, we shall see him coming
down the road"
The fresh morning air and the genial
company of the admiral had caused the
doctor to forget his trouble, and he came
back about midday in an excellent HUI
nor. AS he opened the hall door the vile
smell of chemicals which had spoiled his
breakfast met him with q redoubled vir-
ulence. He threw open the hall window,
entered the dining room and stood aghast
at the sight which met his eyes.
Ida was still sitting among her bottles,
with lit cigarette in her left hand and
a glass of stout on the table beside her.
Clara with another cigarette was loung-
ing in the easy chair with several maps
spread out upon the floor around. Her
feet were stuck up on the coal scuttle,
and she had tumblerful of some red
dish brown composition on the smoking
table close at her elbow. The doctor
gazed from one to the other of them
through the thin gray haze of smoke,
but his eyes rested finally in settled
stare Of establishment upon his elder and
more serious daughter.
"Clarav' he gasped. 81 could not have
believed it!'
What 10 it, papa?'
"You are smoking"
"Trying to, papa. find it little diff
cult, for I have not been used to it. -
"But why, in the name of goodness

many things which young girl must

colt says that there should be one law

That Back salary Grab.

We are glad to know that such infiu-
entail newspapers rs the Clarion Led
ger is reading the indicator, but how
ever, we would not like to be misquo
ted and we ask that journal to tote
fair with us when clipping from this
paper and not get part OF an article
and leave off a part so as to place us in
an awkward position before it's readers.
We have reference to its misquoting a
paragraph in regard to the bill passed
by the late Congress allowing each Con
gresham 4 100 per month extra for
CLERK flre. We SAID TINS was virtually
an increase in their salary, and this we
still say, for the Congressman may ap-
point his son, daughter or wife, as some
have already done. Moreover, he may
do the work himself, which he was cleo.
ted to do, and pocket the clerk hire.
At any rate he is to draw the money,
and of course he will appropriate 1t as
his wishes dictate.
This is back salary grab of the
rankest kind, and is poor way for a
Democratic House to cut down public
expenses.
And some of the Congressman from
this State voted for this salary grab.
and il we mistake not your Congress
man, Col +. G. Hooker, is one of the
number. Let the people add to each
Congressman 1920 and they will know
just how much this extra clerk hire
will cost them per year. The clerks
are to do the work and the Congress.

Congressman Hooker has the follow
ing to say about the appointment of
fourth-class postmasters:
Il notice the papers are commenting
on the failure to remove fourth class
postmasters. Are they appraised of
the fact that the postoffice department
will not remove fourth-class postmas-
tiers unless there are charges made
against them!

this matter. went to fourth assistant

says the people will be expecting toe
much, if they look for any material re-
forms from the present Administration

be in the civil service, to which Mr.
Cleveland is fixedly committed. This
