My heart sank as l remembered the
Incident OF last evening, the evidently
elandestlne meeting In the shrubbery
at Forest Lea, Could this journey be
connected with that meeting, and could
the timid, modest girl had known at
Forest Lea be capable Of planning and
carrying out secret arrangements, sur
rounded by so many difficulties In her
circumstances What did It meanY
The endless green panorama still

intending to OFFER 1t to her, She was
already occupied with a book-one OF
those thin paper"covered volumes
bought at book-stalls- she did not
raise her eyes from 1t or otherwise

There was no doubt of her wish to
ignore our previous acquaintance. And
conclusive further proof OF her iden-
tity was given me In her dress, which

A sudden inspiration flashed through
my mind, Miss Branscombe had sought
this method Of communicating with me
privately, away from her family circle,
and the reserve she maintained was
necessary for the moment In the pres
ence Of our fellow-passengers some Of
whom might be known to her by sight
at least. When the proper moment ar
rived she would explain herself. I

Land is in the city as we'll as in the
country, although some economists
seem to think not. Land, in econo'
mics, is broad term; 1t includes all
nature outside of man and needful for
his uses, Land Is indispensable in
every occupation, mental us well as
manual Land is opportunity; an op.
portunity that is the right of all. To
deny man the use Of land Is to deny
him an opportunity to produce wealth,
for all wealth Is produced by labor ap.
piled to land. When landowner takes
from the man who works on the land,
part Of what he produces, he takes
something for which he gives nothing

They Must Have Been Perfect LndieS'
In Those Days.
ITO be contlnued,)


In Those Days.
One Of the most notorious female
gamblers Of the eighteenth century was
Miss Pelham, the daughter Of the
prime minister, says Temple Bar. She
not only ruined herself at cards, but
would have beggared her sister Mary
as we'll had not their friends inter-
vened and insisted on the sisters sep
arating. Horace Walpole gives pitl-
ful account OF poor Miss Pelham sit
ting up all night at the club without a
woman, losing hundreds a night and
her temper and beating her head"
Another writer says that the unhappy
woman often played with the tears
streaming down her cheeks, Lady
Mary Compton, an old maiden lady, O
contemporary OF Miss Pelham and, like
her, addicted to gambling, had the
same propensity to tears. When she
lost, we are told, she wept bitterly
mot for the loss ITSELF she was care
full to explain, "but for the unkindness
OF the cards" Both ladies, when luck
went against them, lost their tempers,
as did many others, and among them
Mrs. Give. The actress, after her re-
tlrement from the stage, lived at
Twlckenham, in a cottage lent her by
Horace Walpole, The place had then q
reputation for quiet card parties. In
Montpelier row lived four aged danes,
known in the neighborhood as Mantle,
Spadllle, Basto and Pinto; terms
drawn for the game Of quad:ille. They
were accustomed to assemble every
night at each others houses to play
cards. On the first of the month each
in turn gave a grand party. A relative
OF one Of the ladies has left an ac-
count Of one Of these functions at
which he was present. Mrs. Give was
one Of the guests and happened to have
for her opponent an old lady with very
white hair, who In the course OF the
game displayed two black aces. There
upon Mrs. Clivo flew In a rage and
screamed: 1.-TWO black aces! Here!
take your money, though wish in-
stead could give you two black eyeN

BY the initiative, a reasonable num-
ber Of people, say 10 per cent, have
power by petition to propose any
amendment TO the constitution or law
and require the submission TO the peo"
pie Mt the next election Of any law
passed by that legislature.
No law submitted to the people
shall take effect unless 1t is approved
by majority OF those voting there
on.
1t is proposed to apply this principle
to all laws, national, state and local.
II is not proposed TO abolish any legis-
lature, but TO create new lawmaking
body, OF which every voter shall be u
member by right Of birth aud citizen
ship, and which shall have supreme
power to make or repeal any law.
The objections most frequently Of
tered to our adoption Of this system,
are about as follows with some Of the
answers and reasons in its favor:
Objection, Our country is too big,
Answer The idea seems to be that
because our votes are so many, are
scattered over so much land and IRE
30 far from Washington, therefore our
vote cannot be cast and counted for
the election of law.
Yet all men In the United States
who choose to vote, as well as many
women, do have their vote counted for
members of Congress or Presidential
electors three times every four years,
not to speak Of the number of times
they are counted for state and county
officers, The same officers who count
these votes, can at the same election,
count the votes of the same voters who
choose to mark their ballots for or
against any proposed law
For practical example, though the
voters of California have no power to
compel the submission to them OF any
proposed law, the legislature of the
state sometimes submits important
questions to vote of the citizens At
the Presidential elections of 1896 the
following nine proposals were so sub
nitted to the voters of California (the

sdered the next thing to ncurable. The
usual symptoms are a full or bloating sensa-
tion after eating, accompanied sometimes
with sour or watery risings, formation OF

stomach could be seen 1t would show
Shiny, innamed condition.
The cure of this common and obstinate
trouble is found in a treatment which causes
the food to be readily, thoroughly digested
before it has time to ferment and irritate
the delicate mucous surfaces Of the
stomach. To secure a prompt AID healthy
digestion is the one necessary thing to do
and when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each meal
a tablet. composed of Diatase. Aseptic
