A respected subscriber in Bridport
asks three questions of the REGISTER
and they are referred to the people for
answer at the polls next September:
1st-After half a century of trial of
the prohlbitory law it is admitted the
state is in hole; this being so how
many centuries more should the question
of a change be discussed:
2d-Is not the handwriting visible on
the wall and have not the old ringers got
to get outE
3d-Is not it waste of time and
money to advertise the attractions of
Vermont as summer resort or anything
else (and the state cannot be beat as a
summer resort by any state in the
Union so long as this law hangs as a
dead weight on our necks?
The people are the final arbiters in
this as in all other questions regarding
public policy. 1t Is for them to answer
at the polls whether they want prohi-
bitlon or the saloon.

FROM SUNDANCE.
The Girl From 5Sundance And Why She
iWent East.
BY I2ola L. Forester.

"A most ,uudignified, ill.bred
young person"
Bess sat up with jerk that
hobbed the hammock violently
and sent the pillows flying onto
the floor of the veranda, as she
heard the voice from the libra
ry.
Very nearly fifteen, Stan,
ley it continued in a low
peevish tone that could only
belong to Aunt Cecilia. ''Three
months older than Ethel-are
you listening to me, Stanley?'

Girls to you, Stanley, simply

replied Aunt Cecilia severely.
"You are a very poor brother. "
Then I'll be a good cousin, "
laughed Stanley. THAT is. if
all cousins are like Bess.

ing. She told him that the only
church was in the mission school
house 20 miles away, so on Sun
day she usually went horseback
riding with her father, or else
trained the dogs. Stanley, do
you hear? Trained dogs, A girl
and on Sunday"
"Yes. dear" replied Stanley,
absently. "Bess showed me a
snapshot of them. They are
beauties.

Wonder if Ethel could have
done that" she thought, with
lump rising in her throat even
as she laughed at the very idea
of her demure, ladylike young
cousin vaulting over in such a
heller SHELTER fashion. But
there was a heavy ache some
where inside her that had come
to stay. Day by day, ever since
she had come to Lagrange, she
had realized how different she
was from her uncle's family.
Only Stanley seemed to approve
of her. and even he would throw
back his head and laugh at her
at times when she had no inten-
ton of being at all comical.
And as for Aunt Cecilia
She's dreaafully precise,
pet" Bess' father had told her,
when the visit east was talked
of first in the long, low ranch
house on the Lost Bear range.
She'll make you walk a chalk
line, and braid up those curls of
yours, and you mustn't say
Jehosaphet Johnson, or Great
Jumping Halifax. or any OF
those things that you got from
your old dad, you know. 1t
wort be just bowling, jolly
time for you, dearie, but it's got
to be because you's a girl; and
Cecilia says you must have
polish.
Polish! Bess wondered i that
was what made Aunt Cecilia
and Ethel SO stiff and tired
looking.
They look as if they bad
seen everything worth seeing in
the whole world" she wrote
home to Ranch Y o. land were
so afraid they might have to
take a second look they didnt
! know what to do. / guess
Stanley is the only one who
hasn't polish. He's just natu'
rally bright. Wonder if I'll need
much shining up, dad?"
1t was three weeks now, since
she had come to Lagrange, and
Aunt Cecilia said she must stay
a year at the very least, and
possibly another, in order that
she might attend Miss Delan-
cy's select academy with Ethel.
II won't, I won't" Bess had
acclaimed frautically to the
four walls Of her cbsy, pretty
Ilasd the night the latt eI

curled up diSconsolate IN
dainty brass bed with lace on
the sheets.
Lace on the Sheets" Bess
had said in high derision the
fest time she saw them. "Won.
der if they've got cunning little
rGffles on the tablecloths and
napkins, too
But there was not particle
of use in rebelling, and she
knew it. The year of polish
must be endured, and as she
told Stanley, it would not be so
hard, if only they liked her the
least bit, and did not look upon
her as such a heather.
Why, / wanted to ride Teddy
in the park the other day." she
told him. "Iustead of sitting
up like a wax doll beside Ethel
in. the carriage. and Auutie
looked at me through those
awful glasses OF hers on that
funny little stick as if she ex-
pected me to sprout an Indian
topknot and war paint on the
spot. Teddy's the only decent
horsa in the stables. "
How Stanley laughed. Teddy
of all horses. The wicked,
slim.necked thoroughbred his
father had brought from Ken
lucky after he had won the
derby. No one ever mounted
his glossy back except the little
stable boy, Steve. He was
never taken out except when
his master exercised him in the
sulky. No wonder Aunt Cecilia
had looked surprised al such a
proposition.
Bess ran down the path
through the garden and took
refuge in the arbor on the south
terrace.
"A most undignified, ill.bred
young person.
Those were the exact words.
and how they did sting. Oh,
for a pair of stout, widespread
wings to tack on her shoulders
and fly back home. She lay at
full length on the arbor seat,
chewing morning glory petals,
and now and then green grape.
She liked green grapes. They
tasted just the way she felt, all
sour and puckery. 1t was Sun
day afternoon. She saw Dexter,
the coaChman, drive out OF the
stable with the carriage, and
presently Ethel called her name
from the veranda, but she never
answered. 1t would be glorious
to be alone and free even for an
hour. She would not have 10
stuff her hands into hot, close
| gloves and tilt a parasol over
her face opposite Aunt Cecilia's
purple one,
You'll be freckled, Eliza.
BETH" the latter had said Sc
verely.
Don't care a rap If l am. .
Bess had return ed cheerfully.
Used to have lots every spring
on the ranch"
After the carriage had van
ished from view down the ave.
nue. OF naples, Bess rose delib.
erately and crossed the lawn to
the stables, where Steve, the
stable boy, was summing himself
on the stone step outside the
door.
Steve, wake up" she said,
Il want Teddy saddled."
MIR. Elston says" began
