Our hero made no reply. Dave came
from the sick room and stood on the

what had happened. But our hero only
gave him hurried good morning and
went on with his reading.
Redding satdown at his own desk and
threw up the roller top with a great
clatter. "Well,' he began, "you don't
have the Least curiosity in the world
about anything. Why haven't you axed

Ronald smiled as he looked up from

Ronald rose to his feet; he reeled a
little as he reached for his hat, which
lay on the desk.

right. 1t ought never to be. Children
of mine shall never live to curse the

The music had ceased; there was a
light step outside and Evelyn suddenly
opened the door, pausing on the
threshold with an exclamation of sur
prise.
II did not know" here she broke
off as her eyes fell to studying her
lovers agonized face. "Papa," she
asked, coming forward and standing
between the two men, what does this
mean?"
The old man collected his senses
slowly.
'Daughter," he said, after an awk-
ward pause, Il have sent for Mr.. Fan
shaw to consult with him in regard to
the welfare Of you both, and together
after talking it all over-we have
come to d mutual agreement that the

Evelyn fastened a questioning, half
distrustful gaze on her lover.
'Do you think it would be better for
you to give me up?" were her words,

Another summer had come. Ronald
was now Redding' partner, and lived
in town. He had put up no sign, having
told his partner that he would not do so
till he had found out his rightful name.
Dave and his mother and sisters had
moved to Texas and purchased a good
farm from the sale Of their own place
and the insurance money.

For Good Roads,

The national good roads and irrign-
this week should be productive Of some
good in an educational way with respect
to these two important matters-good
roads especially. While West Virginia
Is, perhaps, no worse than some other
states in regard to good roads. the high
ways of,the commonwealth are suscep-
tible OF great Improvement. and some
thing may be learned from the contem-
plated meeting In Chicago, especially
since It bears the stamp of approval OF
the department Of agriculture.
During the present season road con-
ventions have been held In the largest
cities Of the states throughout the
northwest. The objects OF the Chicago
meeting are similar to those of the
other western conventions |. a., to pro-
moteimore general interest In the i'm
provement Of the public roads. to dis
cuss the best methods of building and
maintaining them. and to promote good
roads legislation In the various states.
Speakers OF national reputation will be
present to discuss good roads questions
from political. social and commercial
standpoints.

Chicago Record Qnd): The ap-
preaching short session of Congress
VIII afford comparatively little time or
opportunity for the discussion of many
or the important measures awaiting
legislation, but few Of them may be
acted upon.
Probably the questions which will be
brought into prominence first are
those relating to the reorganization Of
the army and the congressional appor-
tionment. II time allows 1t is likely
that the session will concern itself to
some extent with Senator Hanna's plan
Tor the granting OF ship subsidies, with
the question OF building the Nicaragua
canal, and. possibly. the proposition to
increase the personnel of the naval es-
adjustment.
Together with the great question of
the ultimate disposition OF the Philip

these matters involve Issues arising d.
rectly from the nations recent advance

that President Mckinley, who now has
ample majorlties in both houses OF
Congress. will make use of his power
to drive through legislation upon the
ship subsidy bill. to whose support he
already stands committed. He can
hardly ignore, however. the obligation
which rests upon him to avoid any
course which might delay action on the
more urgent issues by blocking legisla-
ton with debates upon questions con-
corning which there Is wide diver
gence of>opinion.
Secretary Roots army reorganization
plan Is one Of the measures upon which
final action should be taken. That the
United States In Its present position re-
qulrcs an army of at least $4,000 Is not n
matter of question. Unless some action
Is taken the army by next summer will
be reduced to half that number. How
ever Congress may wrangle over thu
apportionment bill or the ship subsidy
bill. 1t is matter Of moral necessity
that an army bill be passed.
