A Broken Wedding Ring

By Bertha N. Clay.

Leah and Sir Basil went through
the grounds to the gates Of the park
Shall you be long, Basil?" she
asked wistfully.
He noticed that she did not ask
where he was going.
NO; am going to Southwood,
Leah" he replied The Act is,

famous old politician there, and his
arguments interest me"
The words conveyed no meaning
to her. That the old politician should
be her father Martin Ray, never oc-
CURED to her. Never were two per-
sons so near truth without re-
vealing it; never did the points OF
two lives meet SO closely and then
diverge. If she had merely said,
what politician" or who Is heE
he would have answered, Martin
Ray, and who can tell how different
many lives would have been? She
was engrossed in her lover and IN
everything concerning him; but she
was not curious, and was not given
to questioning him. She knew that
he was greatly interested in the
political struggles of the day; she
knew also mat he hoped in time to
become a statesman; and that an old
politician should instruct and amuse
him seemed to her quite natural. 1t
was a strange decree of fate that the
man whom she loved with all her
heart should have met and nave
grown interested in the father she
had renowned
Basil, she said gayly, Il shall take

statesman, chancellor of the eXche-
qucr, or prime minister, you will want

municipalities, and cajole everybody
into telling me his secrets.
You will have to be very clever to
do that, Leah" he rejoned, laughing.

GUS parties for you. ! am sure that !
shall make an excellent wife for a
statesman. They had reached the
park gates, and she continued, III

Of 1t. Make haste home again, dear.
How she loved him! How grateful
he ought to have been for such love!
How happy he ought to have been!
Vet he sighed as he climbed the hill,
and caught sight Of the restless sea;
and his face, when Martin Ray saw
him. was not the face Of happy man.

the bill a good one-that farmers

holding that farmers could not do
their chores and put in 10 hours on

NEGRO LYNcHERs.

A mob Of negroes in Florida lynch.
ed one Of their own race for assaulting
a negro woman.
While lynching Is never to be ap-
proved from any point Of view, this
act exhibits an awakening Of the race
commendable in it's purpose though
culpable in It's method. II shows an
appreciation Of womans virtue and a
condemnation Of the particular crime
which has caused so much trouble.
II has frequently been the case that
negro brutes we're protected by their
own race WIN officers sought them
own race when officers sought them
general apathy II not a positive con
donement OF crimes committed by
their fellows. so long as such a
condition obtains the negro will re-
celye little respect or lawful consider
alton. He must make himself an ac-
tive factor for law and order, and
must especially repudiate and help
to bring to justice the offending ne
gro.
II he is to let his racial sympathy
outweigh his citizens duty he is a
public enemy whom all good citizens
will despise ard every mans hand
will be turned against him.
The Florida lynchlng is evidence Of
a more active race pride and moral
sense II is not to be encouraged for
its own sake. but It is noteworthy as
a change from a distressing state Of
