CHAPTER XIII.

Mildred descended the stairs and
hurried across the hall. giving herself
no time to think OF or mediate on
what lay before her. and. going into
the drawing-room. found Lord Lyndon
standing with his back to the fire. She
went up to him. and held out her hand.
Il want you to do something for me, -
she said. in q low, choked voice-"will
you do it,"
'of course. WILL" he responded in
his pleasant, CHEEKY way. why do
you ask me that? Have you yet to
learn that there is nothing In the
world I would not do for you II l
could?"
Hush" she said. 'I would rather
you did not promise Just yet. Wait
until you have heard my request, for
1t is no ordinary one. do not think

At least let me hear what 1t is" he
requested, gently.

mite period. fifteen thousand pounds. i"
Lord Lyndon was so taken aback
that at nrst he scarcely recognized the
Importance of an immediate reply. He
was rich. certainly-richer far than
many men who were accounted well
possessed OF this worlds goods; but
fifteen thousand pounds was q sum
that few could put their hands on at
a moments notice He hesitated, there
fore. for little. and then recovering
himself said quietly:
What day shall l bring 1t to you ?
Or would you prefer paying II in any
where?"
You will give 1t to me. then. You
really mean Il" Are you sure-cer-
tain! Think what large sum II is,
and how small is your hope Of repay
ment. and do not speak In too great

And about securities?" questioned
Mildred, trying anxiously to recollect
all that she had ever heard about
money matters, and not succeeding at
all
I'VE will not speak about securities, /"
answered Lyndon. gently. Let 1t be
an arrangement between you and me
alone; l shall trust to you to repay
me the moment you are able"
The utter kindliness and nobility Of
his nature touched her to the heart.

In low tone. while a strange trem.
bling pervaded her voice. How shall

sad tribute of affectionate respect to the
memory of our late comrade in arms
Joseph Pinkney Gibson, Co. G, 4th Reg

The warriors dream alarms;
No braying horn, no screaming fife
At dawn shall call to arms"

Every politician in the
state is afraid to go on record
on the liquor question. They
are even so cowardly that
they dare not submit the pro.
hibition amendment to the
people for endorsement or re-
lection. When an officer is
asked why he does not enforce
the law he says public senti-
ment is against it and hence
it cannot be successfully done.
To settle that question, why
not submit it to the people?
If the people of today en-
dorse it, the officers won't
have an excuse Of any kind
to offer for protecting the
joints. No citizen, be he pro-
hibitionist or whisky bloat,
should be afraid to submit
the matter of law making to
the people from whence all
authority of right should
core.

extent of it.
