Alan looked at her and her pretty
sslimness of which he had been so
proud, at the beautiful. refined face, ait
the eyes through which her beautiful
soul seemed to shine, and when he
looked at it and realized what he was
about to lose great numbness came
over him. He could not speak, he
could scarcely think. 1t seemed as IL
huge chasm yawned before them, into
which they were both to be flung. And
so this awful evening went its way.
They hardly spoke. They sat hand in

Joyce was quiet; then she said:
"There's Veronicas child, Alan. You
should try and be father to it. Poor
little thing, it would comfort you"
"If Veronica were dead" said Alan,

He rose slowly and painfully. A
great terror came over Joyce. "You
will see me again, Alan? This is not
good-by. could not bear it-oh,
could not! Tell me you will come to
me again and kiss me good-by! Oh

He put mis- arms round her. She

THERE are some people here who
seem to have learned at least little
about the world and may in time
learn enough to act toward their fell
low men with little decency.

there is hope.
THE opposition to changing the
name OF Morgantown is universal. We

GEO. G. HAYES & Co. did not sell
all the goods that were sold in town
for the Christmas trade but they sold
a good many and they intend to con-
tinue TO do so. They always have the
stock, are good judges Of goods and
give you just what you want and full
value for your money.
WHEN you get letter from a man
who uses a simple, clean letter head,
containing nothing but his name,
business and address, set up Without
any effort toward display, you are inn
pressed with the fact that your cor
respondent is solid, dignified, relia-
bic business man. But when nget
a letter written under spread eagle,
sprawly letter head, full OF curlicues
and other nonsense, the impression
you receive il far from favorable.
THERE seems to be sentiment on
the part OF the Republican party in
this state, to increase the state reve-
nues In order to increase the state ex-
penditures. There is no occasion for
this. The expenditures OF the state
are large enough for all practical pur-
poses. TO make new sources OF reye-
Due for state purposes is only to cul-
tivate spirit Of extravaganza. Ii Is
true that the state revenue from tele-
graph, express and oil companies
should be increased because these
classes of business are not paying their
due proportion OF taxes, but when
this is done, instead Of increasing the
expenditures OF the state, the effect
should be To reduce the rate OF direct
taxation. II the public franchises OF
the state were paying the taxes they
should pay, the rate of state levy
could be reduced from 25 cents down
to 20 cents on the 500 valuation
This would be more real benefit TO
the public than to increase the expen-
ditures In order to meet the increased
eyenues.
