anyway" Ralph said. II could not
consent to allow you to remain unless
you knew it."
"Nothing on earth could make me

said Miss Hastings, "and I intend to

Miss Hastings covered her face with
her hands and heaved deep sigh. She
was thinking Of the words she had
overheard just a moment before. She
wanted to ask him if he were not keep
ing back something from her, but such
question would imply lack of faith
in him, and she remained silent. Steps
were heard in the hall. Some men car
rying large bouquets and wreaths OF
flowers were reflected in the pier glass
as they passed to the drawing room to
lay them on the coffin. Ralph followed
her glance to the mirror.
"Poor old mani" he said. II have
not yet realized that he is really dead.
Sister acts as If she did not either. We
shall miss the dear old governor in

The power of articulation seemed to
have left Miss Hastings. She tried to
speak. She attributed the failure to her
mental condition.
"Poor Aunt Martial" sighed Ralph,
releasing her hand. ut will kill her,
I'm afraid. If you only knew her, you'd

"Does she know" asked Miss Has

"Not yet" replied Ralph. II tele-

cautioned Alice, and the door was sud-

white and quivering, to the library and
sat down again. She covered her face
with her hands and tried to reflect. No;
she would never entertain that thought.
Ralph Benton was her ideal, her con-
ception Of all that was manly and noble
il man. 1t might seem to others that
he was guilty, but she would never be-
lieve it. And yet how strangely he had
acted when he came down from his
room just before the body had been
found And then the words which she
had just overheard-whatc could he have
meant?
Miss Hastings happened to glance in
to large pier glass which reflected
part of the hall in the direction of Alice
Benton's loom and saw Ralph ap-
preaching. 1t was the first time she
had caught his face in repose since the
murder, and the sight of it shocked her
inexpressibly. He was white and hag-
gard, and his eyes were beginning to
be bloodshot.
He came into the library, started
slightly on seeing her. and then ad
vanced, with smile.

DR.. Lampkin smothered an oath with
his hand, and, turning to a seat at the
window, sat down. The patient sat up
in his chair and stared at him critic

The Logic of Fusion.

We suspect that the name anti-fusion
democrat in Kansas covers the identity of
goldbugs pure and simple, and we mean
to cast no reflections on the sincere silver
sentiments of our democratic anti-fusion
contemporaries and those they speak for.
At the same time, IL appears strange to
us that they do not become a little I'M
easy as to the correctness of their atti-
tude and political judgment when they
find themselves in direct opposition to
such friends of silver as William J. Bry-
an. Chairman Jones, Senator White, Con-
gresham Bailey, Congressman Lewis and
nearly every other democratic silver lead
er in both the house and the senate, while
at the same time they find themselves in
accord with Tom Carter, the Great Falls
Leader. the Billings Gazette and every
other goldbug newspaper in this state on
the question of fusion. These two start
ling condolences ought to be sufficient to
cause the anti-fusion forces led by the
Miner and Independent to pause and ask
themselves where they are at and whether
they are not lending aid and encourage
ment to the enemy. There is not the
slightest question that the g~oldbug press
Of the state is working tooth and toe
nail in complete sympathy and harmony
with the Miner and Independent to pre-
vent a fusion of the silver parties in this
state. The Butte Miner ever quotes them
from time to time in support of its posi-
tion.-Great Falls Tribune.

Who Is to Blame

THAT this country demands is a
w rigid inquiry into the evils that
have developed in connection
with the war department work. The
legitimate horrors Of war are bad
enough without adding to them disease
and suffering which could easily be
avoided. The blame must be placed
where IL belongs. The Brooklyn Eagle,
which thinks the fault lies in bureau
cracy and old grannyism," expresses
itself in this vigorous language:
The nation has been too busy in i'm

come as soon as the war is over. or has
been Stacked of to give us breathing time.
Then we shall demand to know who was
responsible for the hunger and unprotec-
ton and disease that have prevailed in
the camps: then we shall know why a
pest hole like Camp Alger is still occupied
though dozens of men are dying there or
typhoid fever; then we shall know the
truth about meat contracts: then we shall
know why camps have been established
on little one-track, poverty-stricken rail-
roads. to their great gain; then we shall
know why the Red Cross Is kept out of
hospitals and camps, where II is most
sadly needed; then we shall know why
relief ships come north loaded with
wounded men and invalids and provisioned
only with the coarsest fare and not
enough of that. with water in the barrels
two months old. with no ice, with insult
fcient medicines, without even instru-
ments for operations: then we shall know
why at this hour the yellow fever pa
tients near Santiago are lying on bare
ground. with not a strip of cloth to keep
the blazing sun out of their eyes; then
we shall know why In a rich country like
this. the troops who depend on their pay
in some camps have to wait weeks and
months for their hard-won wages. The
war has shown that we can equip an
army and navy with wonderful rapidly
with material for battle. But the more
important material on which our soldiers
and sailors depend for the preservation
of their lives is overlooked. Bureaucracy
and old %grannyism have had their recogni-
ton In the army too long. Abolish them.
1t is a serious indictment that the
Eagle brings. but ii is the truth-it is
useless for the war department apolog-
lists to attempt to deny it. The facts are
too plain and too abundant. Someone
has blundered."
