o don't run away: there can be no
more running away, so far as you are
concerned listen TO me: Two years
ago, when this same Gilbert Rickerby,
WHOM i have never seen, wrote to me.
teIlinglme that he was coming home TO
meet his promised wife, a desire came
upon me TO see the girl who could re-
main in a mans memory so strongly.
SO I went down to the place where you
were at school; you remember that,
don't you? / see you do. Well, / saw
you; and / begapsto think that Gilbert
Rickerby was not such a fool as I had
imagfned him TO be; I felt that you
were worth waiting ~Yor4worth striving
after. Ina word. I loved you: from
that hour / had no peace, for thoughts
OF you. Day and night / was haunted
by the memory of your eyes; day and
night I dreamed of you-longed for
YOU. Then, In one mad moment. I did
a thing I have neve mentioned until
now Fsf#
She looked up al him. with eyes OF
fear and aversion; yet seemed to list
en-, too, to what he had to say.
81 said to myself This man is thou
sands of miles away; / am on the spot.
What If he heard that the girl ne loved
and trusted was false to him? What IL
Il. heard that she had repented of her
rash. girlish promise, and had given
her heart to another man? Would he
come home to her them So / wrot.

fessed yaur love for me, that / meant
to marry you. I told him that 1t vas

shrinking away from him. $50 that
was why his letters to me ceased: that
was why he never came home two
years ago., as he had promised?"
''Yes-that was the reason. Then,
quite suddenly, he wrote me that ne
YVES coming; and I knew that my plan
would be spoiled. But Providence has
always been on the side OF the bold; at
the last moment, when he was rushing
to meet me, he was killed. SO that
now, you see, my sweet girl, you are
alone in the world, except for me. Dis
miss from your mind the thoughts or
| the lover, who could 81 easily believe
anything against you: reward the man
who has strivef so hard to gain you"
So confident was the man OF success
that ne slipped an arm about her; but
She flung him off, fercely. n ran TO
| the other side OF the room.
Keep away!' she cried. IF you
dare to come near me I win rouse the
house. You have brought me here UNI
der false pretenses. I am going away
this very night-this very moment!"
with q muttered exclamation, he
darted after her. but stopped.on the in-
slant, listening. There had come a
loud ringing at the outer gate. Taking
advantage OF his hesitation. the girl
pulled open a door close beside her and
ran along a dark passage which opened
| from 1t. AT the same moment Corne-
Illus came hurrying into the room.
"Ere, never mind, the gel" he whis-
| pered. hoarsely. We've got summink
else to think about, besides gels.
There's a lot OF people at the gate ask
in for Gilbert Rickerby!"

The Failure of the Pan-American.

We hope that st. Louis will fare bet.
ter financially than Buffalo appears tc
have done in the matter of her great
exposition.
The management of the Buffalo en-.
terprise counted upon at least 10000.
900 paid admissions in order to make
ends meet, but when the gates of the
great fair were closed for the last time
it was found that the attendance aggre-
gated only 100000 admissions. In
Guiding passes.
The total output of the exposition
was something In the neighborhood OF
$40. 900, 900. From the gate receipts
only $500, 900 was realized against
an expected revenue of at least $8,-
100000. Of course, something was
realized from concessions; but alto
gether the exposition represents net
loss of nearly $4,000, 900.
Bad weather during the early spring
prevented the exposition from being
ready on time, and this handicap kept
the crowds back at the beginning.
Then the tragedy resulting in the
presidents death considerably reduced
the attendance at the close.
Buffalo naturally feels disheartened
over the financial failure of her great
exposition, but she has the satisfaction
of knowing that her enterprise was an
artistic success in the most critical
Sense of the term, and that in many re-
spects it was even superior 10 the
Worlds fair at Chicago. Though she
has been put to very great expense she
has greatly stimulated American enter
prise and the good effects Of her great
exposition will probably be felt for
many years to come.
st. Louis is putting tremendous odds
at stake in her great exposition to be
held in 1908. She expects TO invest
not less than $50. 900, 900. and she will
have to secure an immense revenue
from her gate receipts In order to come
out even; but she Is in the heart of the
continent and has an immense terri
tory from which to draw. On this ac-i
count her enterprise may prove more
fortunate than Buffalo's.
But IL remains 30 be seen whether
she surpasses Buffalo In producing an
exposition which will be In every re-
spect representative OF the true prog
ress OF the western hemisphere 10 the
ciyilized arts. Atlanta Constitutions

The Galloway Plan.

The Kindom of Galloway has started
the politicians to thinking. The Demo-
cratic Central Committee of that coun-
ty has decided to take time by the fore
lock in the settlement of the senatorial
contest. At meeting in Fulton the
committee decided to ask the Demo-
cratic voters OF that county to express
at the county primary election to be
held on August 80. 1902, their prefer
ence for United States Senator. The
time is certainly far enough advanced
to give opportunity for all candidates
for Senator to be heard in Galloway
county and for the Democrats of that
county to make up their minds whom
they will support. Galloway is in
Champ Clark's congressional district.
having been added by the last General
Assembly. and he has many friends
there. On the other hand Governor
Stone has numerous Supporters in the
Kingdom, and 1t was Galloway that
started the boom that nominated him
for Governor. Moreover, Wallace at
tended Westminster College and has
relatives and friends all over the coun-
ty.
The Galloway plan promises to be-
come famous in Missouri. It is not al
together new, except in its application
to the United States senatorship. 1t
has been applied in Audrain and other
counties to the governorship aud other
state officers. It has never before, how
ever, been applied to contest for the
senatorship, possibly because there has
never before-at least within the last
quarter of century-been any contest
for this high Office. The Galloway
committee Is the first in the state to
take any action. 1t remains to be seen
whether any other county committees.
will follow its lead State Tribsase.

State Finances.

port of State debt accounts. submitted
in response to request from the Gov
ernor. The Star says; ut strikes III
that it is up to the Globe to make gooi
its charges" And that is what the
public thinks.
The Star says that it would be better
satisfied If the Governor had given out
the complete tabulation of figures.
Undoubtedly the Star can at any time
find the detailed tabulation at Jefferson
City. The reason for not giving the full
details in newspaper publication was
that neither the Star nor any other
paper would find space for the long ar.
ray of figures covering all the receipts
and disbursements of State debt trans.

L
the Star desires to examine all the fig
ures or any particular detail. the Cover
nor and Auditor will be glad to place
the full report at its disposal.
The Star says that the State Auditor
employed the very firm of experts with
which it, the Star, was negotiating
when it contemplated an investigation
of the books on its own account. This
seems to put the stamp of approval and
confidence upon the firm. The Globe
can hardly heresiter repeat it's fings at
the experts.
Yesterday the Governor issued let
ter addressed directly to the Globe
Democrat, taking up specifically the
charges of overpayments. He thor
oughly exposes the emptiness of the
charges. The Globes tables have
failed to take into account important
Items. By its absurd invention Of
'saverages"it has overcalculated for
some periods and undercalculated in
terest for other periods-vitiating it's
figures into utter worthlessness.
This conclusion of the controversy
is bad for the Globes reputation, but
is good for Missouri. The States
finances are by unassailable proof
shown to have been honestly managed,
and for the twenty-eight years of Demo-
critic control accurately recorded

vindicated by His Prosecutors.

Judge Advocate Lemly's repudiation
of allcharges rejecting uponthe cour-
age of Rear-Admiral Schley is vindi-
cation of that officer by his accusers.
Although not definitely stated in the
precepts, the charge of cowardlce was
implied throughout. 1t was the basis
of all the malicious wardroom gossip
about Schley; it was the substance OF
all the insinuations that crept into the
newspapers; 1t was the principal count
of the indictmentof the naval clique
and was boldly charged in Maclay's
history.
Cowardice was the implied motive
of his acts alleged to be reprehensible
from the time he left Key West until
the Spanish feet was destroyed. The
withdrawal OF the charge of cowardice,
which was completely refuted by the
evidence, knocks the underpinning
from the case.
Schley comes out OF the inquiry be-
fore the decision OF the judges with his
honor and conscientious character as a
naval officer and his personal courage
not only untarnished, but shining with
brighter luster by the admission OF his1
prosecutors.
There is noughing left now of the
charges but questions of Judgment. all
of which must be determined, not in
the light of the Information we now
possess OF the conditions then existing.
but in the light of Schley's informa-
tion, instructions and responsibilities.
There may be ground for differences
of opinion or for after-the-campaign
criticisms. but there ls no ground for
condemnation. or for reflection upon
the honor of the man or the officer.
The vindication is complete now and
the close of the courts open sessions
leaves Schley far more conspicuous
and shining figure in the campaign
which closed with the destruction of
Cervera's feet than it found him.
He is enshrined in the hearts OF his |
as the hero of the Santiago |
victory and no technical criticism can |
deprive him of this honor.-iSt. Lossis |
