'Would she?" Barbara did not say
it, but simply thought it, wondering

addressed young woman still talking
with so much earnestness with Mr..
Morton. And as she looked she could
uot help feeling of jealousy at the
thought of this proud, handsome girl
with her secure social position.
Mrs. Dillingham; was moving away.
Barbara suddenly reproached herself
with a lack of courtesy.
81 want to thank you, Mrs. Dilling-
ham. I appreciate your-your-
treatment of me-"
you didn't expect it, Ell? But Mrs.
Vane and I are eccentrics. You
won't find any others here. We ex-
haust the material. There's a good
deal of nonsense about money and
position. But family-that's another
thing. Princes have had to cook.
Look at King Alfred. And he made q
bad job of it, too. I'm sure you do
better than he did. Don't forget
you're a Dillingham;" And she left
Barbara alone again.
In a few minutes Mrs. Vane found
her. :.

81 just saw Mrs. Dillingham; talk

Barbara told her briefly.
''Umph! She's of good blood. We
don't agree in theology, but I like
her for her good sense in other
things. But, as she says, there are
not many others like us. Let me in

Miss Dillingham; monopolize him all
the evening"
The new group to which Barbara
had been introduced regarded her
variously. Mr.. Somers remarked that
it was a warm evening. Mrs. Row
land nodded and said nothing, and
presently turned to speak to some
one else. Miss Wilkes coldly stared
at Barbara, and in answer to Bar
bara's remark about some feature of
the gathering she said: EYES," and,
as young man went by, she turned
her back directly on Barbara and be-
gan chatting volubly to the young
man. Barbara remembered at that
instant that Miss Wilkes was one of
the young women Mrs. Ward had in

morning she was at church. The
Wilkes family sat directly in front of
the Wards.
There was no one left but Mr..
Somers; and he was saying, as Bar
bara recovered from Miss Wilkes di-
rect snubbing: "Have you met that
Miss Clark that Mrs. Vane has invited
here tonight? They say she's a
mighty interesting girl, and she
works uot, too. Some people think
Mrs. Vane carries things too far to
invite hired girls to her house. That's
one of the things that makes it in
teresting to come here. You never
know who's going to be here. Like a
kind of grab-bag, you know. Don't
know whether you're going to grab
bag of peanuts or blank. Lots of
blanks In society, don't you think?"'
81 don't know; 1 haven't been out
very much" replied Barbara, demure-
ly. She looked at Mr.. Somers with
interest. He was tall young man in
a regulation dress suit, and there was
look of good nature about him that
Barbara rather liked.

teresting than most of the society
girls. Do you know her? Do you see
her anywhere3"
"Tm Miss Clark" said Barbara, and
at the sudden look of surprise on Mr..
Somers' face she burst out laughing,
and he finally joined her feebly.
''The joke is on me, of course. But
never heard your name. Why don't
people speak up when they introduce
folks on these occasions? 1t might
save trouble occasionally. DO you
recollect ii I said anything in front

SUNSHINE AND SHADOW.

Some pathways through shadow run.
Shut out by clouds from heavens warm

While some on sunny hilltops lie,
Close to the gladness of the sky.
All. some in shadow, some in sun!
So has 1t been since time begun.
Some always have to bear a load
OF care along dreary road,
From which, on sunny heights, they see
Those for whose backs no burdens be,
So shall 1t always be while life
Holds fast to happiness and strife.
But sometime shall pathway run
Out of the shadow into the sun,
And valley plo6ders turn and climb
To sunny heights, in Gods good time.
All, sometime, somewhere, soon or late
So. heart of mine, in patience watt
So come to US whatever may,
Believe God Is not far away,
And lift your eyes toward the light
That burns, a beacon. on the height.
By souls who strive the heights are won
The shadow leads into the sun!

That year the Bremen republicans
went to the convention with the as
surance that there would be no oppos-
ing candidate. They presented the
name of Dan Fichthorn, then editor Of
the Bremen County Independent, and
cast their ten votes for him. To their
surprise Butler man was brought out,
and nominated on the first ballot The
Bremerites came home, but they never
forgot nor forgave. The democrats
nominated l.. S. Hanchett, an indepen-
dent republican who was a power in To-
cal politics. Hanchett went into the
fight with all his might, and at the
close of one of the most bitter cam :
paigns ever waged, he was elected by a
close majority.
One thing that makes it almost GER
tain that warm time is coming when
the convention convenes is the atti-
tude of the Butler county papers. In

usually heavy republican vote. 1t SO
