how loud the music was when she
heard hearty voice at her elbow:
"Sure, I'd be glad to meet the sister
Of John Mulvihill, an it's odd l never
knew you had one"
She swung around, and suddenly the
lights in the room leaped into bewi'der-
ing flames, the dancers INTO led
strangely as in broken Kaleidoscope.
In the confusion one fact stood forth
clearly. There was just one man in
the world who could stand like that,
one man who had such pair of Shout
ders, and he was the man who wrought
every day in the skeleton of the sky
scraper.
She heard her brother say 1t was
Dennis Gallagher, president of the
Shamrock association. That was
quite real to her. OF course he would
be the president. Then John drifted
away, and Gallagher sat beside her.
It was quite awhile before she glanced
up into his face. She was trying to
realize the beautiful truth that they
were no longer parted in midair, but
sitting side by side in a noisy. heated
ballroom. She was glad it was noisy;
otherwise he might hear her heart
beating.
When she looked into his eyes she
started, and the color came and went
prettily in her cheeks. Dennis Gala
CHER smiled. He had seen girls look like
this before. But Ellen was utterly in
genuous in spite of her twenty five
birthdays. He did not speak, and final
ly she said almost breathlessly:
II thought they would be bite, an
they are brown-no. hazel"
So of course it came out She didn't
mean he should know all, and he didn't
know ADJUST enough to make him lin
ger through two dances and set John
Mulvihilrs heart swelling with pride.
A month later Ellen dropped Into the
quiet, shadowy church on her way to
work. There were SO many "all halls"
to say this morning and the church
was quite empty, SO with clasped hands
and eyes full of happy tears she looked
into the benign face Of the Woman Of
Many Sorrows and murmured:
blessed Mother do deserve so much
happiness? Am l good enough for
him? He is comm every Wednesday
an Sunday night to see me, an by
an by it will be every night. He said
30. Every day an every night we will
be together so long as we live. You
who have suffered much, teach me to
be strong an brave for him."
And all that day man working far
above the din of the mighty city looked
across the gap to the great factory
building where he knew she bent over
her work. His heart sang within him.
and his blows fell full and clear, for a
wonderful light and happiness had
come into his life.

The fact that J. J. Houston, former
secretary Of the school land board, was
removed and not exonerated has at
last been officially disclosed.
At the time Of Mr. Houston's remov-
al it was reportet that he had been
completely exonerated of all charges
made against him and his resignation
was printed by a number of papers
throughout the territory Governor
Ferguson has stated that Houston was
removed from the Office, owing to the
way he conducted the leasing of the
school lands in the new country, and
that owing to his conduct relative 10
this matter he could not be retained
in Office.
The. governor said today concerning
the matter:
Houston was removed from office
and not exonerated Since his remoy-
al he has said that he was not allowed
to remain because he refused to let

"Houston's case was brought before
the board on the 26th OF June, and
although we had some evidence regard
ing the matter there was more yet to
come. The other members we're not
entirely satisfied pending the presen-
tatlon OF evidence which / was sure
would come. AS for myself I was
satisfied that his work was such that
we could not keep him on board. The

Mr. Houston shortly afterwards that
he must retire and he asked that he

forms loop, to which the watch Is ate

over and under until the proper length
Is secured. About two inches Is a good
length for a Woman's fob, q little longer
