The minister went forward and took
her hand He didn't speak, he couldn't
break her dream of happiness at one
blow. He held her hand, looking down
at her with troubled eyes, when she
suddenly met his gaze, and in her
eyes he thought he saw a faint re-
proach. Was it thus that men wooed
the women they loved? Sore1y per-
picked, the minister bent and kissed
her on the brow.
They sat down on the wide, old
fashioned sofa She, noting his silence
and seeming GOODNESS, pitied him. and
told herself that his unaccustomed-
ness to women made him shy, and
that by sweet, womanly means, she,
when she became his wife, would WOO
him from such ways; and he, looking
at her and thinking that he must
break her heart, pitied her. All, sweet,
sweet pity, so near akin to love-
Woman-Hke, and to cover his en-
barrassment, she began to talk in a
nervous, hurried way. OF her gera-

flush of shame mounted the Rev
erend Mr.. Wigglesworth's brow. He
mopped his face with his handkerchief,
the thought had crossed his brain that
the Widow Mclean didn't know a
blessed thing about his sensations dur
ing the last twenty-four hours.
The girl talked on with a shy con-
seriousness. The minister had never
thought her pretty before, and now her
earnest, almost somber eyes looked at
him gravely as if questioning this
thing that held them apart.
A sudden vision of a cottage with
crimson roses clustering on the veran-
da came to him, and down a trellised
walk above which crimson roses grew,
Eliza, and not the widow, moved with
eyes alight with happiness.
Miss Ellington he asked unhesi-
tatingly. She gave him look of sweet
reproach. ELIZA, was there ever an
other?"
Never she said.
"And you have loved me?" question
ingly
From the first" she said simply.
The Widow Mclean had been married
twice. The last scruple had vanished
from the Reverend Mr.. Wigglesworth's
mind, and he drew her into his arms
and held her silently A man has
wisdom straight from the gods who
is silent at such a time.
Some hours later when he went
home by way of the stars. he didn't
even glance at the young widows
house. he didn't even remember that
she lived there.
She. although she did not remain
the Widow Mclean, when tender
thoughts of her former pastor came to
ker, felt always a flush of shame when
Che remembered that night on the
church steps. And to the day of her
death she believed that by her unseen
ly conduct on that night she had lost
the minister.
Eliza, secure in a good mans love,
and unconscious of any debt to the
widow, dwelt at peace.

New Public Service.

Springfield, Mass. has been trying
in one district the experiment of a
weekly house-to-house delivery of
books from the public library, with
good results. Over one-half of the $50
persons now receiving books in this
way did not formerly make use of the
city library. There is a charge for the
delivery of books. One may get six
weeks service for fifty cents, twelve
weeks for 81, or thirty-eight weeks
for So. This pays the book-user, since
the street car fare to and from the
library once week amounts to more.
A dozen persons at the same address
can get books at the expense of one
delivery.

WoMAN's RIGHTS WOMEN
 HONOR, SOUTHERN WOMAN.

Miss Kate Gordon. who has recently been honored by the National Suffrage Association with the appointment of Corresponding Secretary, is New Or- leans woman. She goes in a few days GO New York to reside at the National Suffrage Association headquarters. She succeeds Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery. who. for eighteen years has held the pffice of National Secretary of the or- sanization.
 Miss Gordon leaves an elegant home and a dear. devoted family to take up work that lies so near her heart. But she goes with the, love and prayers of her mother and sister. Mrs. Gordon's maiden name was Norton, and she came from one of the fine old Knick- erbocker families of New York. She was born in New Orleans, and has al- ways resided there. Miss Gordon has kwo sisters who are equally interested ln the question of suffrage, and who Rre as brilliant as their gifted sister. Dne of these. Miss Jennie Gordon, Had sharge of the Louisiana booth at the )uffrage bazar in New York. The khree sisters work together with ut most harmony. and their devotion to Dne another and to their mother is Bery beautiful.
 In an article in The New Orleans Pic @yune Miss Gordon is quoted as saying If the plan of work upon which she will enter:
 All the Rights They Want.
 .Under the head of Legislation" said Miss Gordon. i've hope always to reap practical results and to help at the lame time that large class of women Eho have all the rights they want Can any woman not possessed of a cuttie fish circulation believe that she has all the rights she wants when at ahe dawn of the twentieth century the babyhood of her sex requires for its protection that most of the State leg asIatures be petitioned to raise the age of consent to at least IS years.
 "Our association will demand that ahe coguardianship of children be granted: that the appointment of po- lice matrons be made In all cities of khe Union of sufficient size to warrant such appointments.
 "We shall make the demand for pure food supplies. Has any woman all the rights she wants while daily such wholesale adulteration of food goes on? No; the protection of the lives dearest to her. her innocent little children, de- mand that she join the ranks of those who are making this fight for the home.''
 All Eyes on the South.
 Speaking of the constant reference made to the South as a great field for 4he operation of the woman suffragists Miss Gordon said that the eyes of the entire organization throughout the North and East and West were on the South. The question of white suprem- acy is one that will only be decided by giving the right of the ballot to the educated. intelligent white woman of tine South. This is a fact that many of the brightest men in the South are acknowledging today. Thd white wo- men of the South hold thk balance of power. Their vote will eliminate the question of the negro in politics. and At will be glad free day for the South

when the ballot is placed In the hands of its intelligent. cultured, pure and noble womanhood. The women suf- fragists of the North are looking to the South; they are watching the signs of the times. Everything points. said Miss Gordon, to this great evolution, that between the negro vote and. the vote of intelligent womanhood. the South. true to it's traditions, will trust it's women, and thus placing in their hands the balance of, power. the negro as disturbing element tn politics will disappear.
 E-The argument has been urged" said Miss Gordon. that hesitancy on the part of most women to indorse suffrage has been the fear of the influence that will be exercised by that unfortunate class--the abandoned woman. Forum ately," she continued. that class rep resents a very, very small minority of the women of our country. That such a class exists we must admit. But" said she,
 "The Same Class Exists Among Men, and no one has ever brought this for ward as an argument for their dis franchisement. It is poor rule that does not work both ways. Must the pure, wholesome and uplifting influ- ence of tremendous majority of the moral, educated womanhood of this country be set aside because of the unfortunate few who live in defiance of the moral law?
 But 1 think" said Miss Gordon, that the whole ground of suffrage is covered by one of the resolutions pre- scented at the recent convention in Min neapolis: Women need equal suffrage in order to secure equality in the home: for wives. independent and prop erty rights; for mothers. equal guar dianship and control of their children; for wage earners, equal pay for equal work; for all women, largersAinterests, broader intelligence. self-protection and self-respect.
 NEWS FROM MISS IRENE ASHBY.
 Since the New York dailies have de- voted so much space to detailed ac- counts of Miss Ashby's work in Eng land and the United States, Montgom- cry may feel proud that it was the abiding place for few months of this young woman of international fame. Friends in this city have just received letters from her written as she arrived in sight of England, in one of which she gives the following news of herself:
 Did tell you" she writes. that I had renounced King Edward VII of England and taken out my first papef of naturalization? So am half way an American citizcn."
 }, This young English woman is as much an Amerieomaniac as ever Astor could an Anglo-maniac. And per haps a few more such exchanges of maniacs would be good for our land of liberty which this English woman loves to love so much after years stay.
 Miss Ashby on Memorial Day had two little Confederate flags given her, and she writes: "Besire my Dixie flags, 1 have little Stars and Stripes given me in New York with which to deco rate my room."
