The State Defined.

The state is not organized, nor is It
used primarily to protect capital and
Cypress and enslave the masses. The
state is legalized government, which
came into existence and has been con-
stantly subject to modification, to pro-
tect the community or country from
molestation from without and to main
tain order and protect the interests
and rights as evolved by the character
development and concensus of opinion
Of the people. The state does pro-
tect capital and property; it has per-
haps been oppressive to the masses,
and has sometimes legalized slavery;
but these acts are always incident to
order and in accordance with the con-
sensus of opinion and development of
character of the people in that COM
munity or country where they are
enacted; and just as fast as this con-
sensus of opinion changes the laws are

becomes important to others, since to
meet the requirements of the we'll in

manufacture must be of the most per-

not of food products only. but is espe-
cially applicable to medicinal agents and
after nearly a quarter of a century of
growth and general use the excellent

best of family laxatives. Its quality is
due not only to the excellence of the
combination of the laxative and carmin-

CHAPTER II.

And Don must have read that un-
spoken confession, for suddenly he
sank down on the divan beside her,
and his arm went round her and drew
her golden head to his shoulder.
"You will promise to be my wife.
Lillie?" he Whispered.
Despite its tenderness, the question
lacked the passion for which her own
great love clamored, and she answered
it with another, of shy hesitation: .''
don, do you really, truly love me?"
Don bent his lips to hers with an ar
dor that carried conviction with it, for
the moment was full of intoxicating
sweetness, and till now he had cher
ished his freedom too dearly to know
anything of the rapture. of cloves
young dream"
my darling" he spoke, reproachful-
ly, don't shame me with the remem-
brance of that day when I asked you
to be the future mistress of Gadie
Hal"
The ignominy of that hour, when
! Don knew he justly deserved her repu-
diation, was too indelibly branded
upon his memory to be ever altogether
effaced. Lilies eyes filled with quick
tears for having caused her lover that
momentary pang.
"Oh, indeed, I never meant to do
that, DOM" she cried, generously
"only-"
"Only?" he repeated, with jealous
note Of inquiry. Don't tell me, LII
lie, for PHYS sake, that you care a
scrap for that happy fellow. Roddy?"

The day of my discharge has come.
How happy I am. How proud feel as
I stand with my face to the wall near
the dollhouse door, awaiting the sum-

my clothes. It seems. that the men

tied to the storeroom. I array myself
in my 'store' clothes, then make my
way, eager and trembling with excite
ment, to the front Office. There, after
a few preliminaries, am handed my
discharge and my money and joyfully

That's rather rough ON present

went, ! am ready to serve you any
where in the wide world"
She blushed crimson.
"Oh, but you misconstrue my mean
ing altogether, Capt. Gordon. was
only talking Of hired service, not"
She stopped in some confusion and
hurriedly added: mot friendship"
whilst she blushed deeper than ever.
Don put up his right hand with a
little gesture of languid beseeching as
he poised his tiny cup of coffee in his
left palm and leaned back restfully in
his softly cushioned chair; for that
bright blush, which made his hostess
look so 'bewitching, had added much
to his composure and confidence.
Yes, she was really very pretty, and
he was not sure but that he loved her
very deeply indeed.
Don't throw the devotion of your
slave back in his face by calling it
friendship" he said. "Lillie!" He laid
down his cup now, and leaned toward
her to get glimpse of the fair face
behind the fan she had opened and was
tluttering nervously.
"Lillie, won't you believe me? You
hold my happiness in your hands; my
life Is yours to do what you will with;
but I want my wages as much as any
one Of your natives-I want the gift OF
this hand and the heart that owns it,"
He had risen now, and, standing over
her, had imprisoned the white fingers
that held the fan with masterful air
that bespoke all the ardor of a deter
mined lover. Did Lilies thoughts fly
back to another night in the far past,
when thus another Gordon had stood
over her and claimed the love he be-
lieved to be his?
But this was not the same Lille who
had allowed Roddy Gordon to think
her heart won to his keeping who
looked up now in the eyes OF Roddy's
kinsman.
Love had taught her it's mystic les
son, and she knew now that it was to
Don Gordon alone her heart must be
surrendered for all time.

such preparations, the law in question creates a
competent commission to examine them when
it is askel to do so. Though the confscatiou of
merchandise shipped from one State to another
in violation of this statute seems like a light
penalty, few prompt prosecutions will GER
tiinly have salutary effect.
Not the least important advantage of a fed
eral pure food law would he that it would tend
to encourage uniformity in State legislation.
At the present time no less than thirty six
States have laws relative to this subject, but
their requirements differ widely, and they are
not all enforced with the same zeal. Mr.. Hep
burn has expressed regret that the bill now
under consideration disavows interference with
the police power of the States. Perhaps that
precaution was wise, however. 1t would be un
fortunate tohaveany question Of fconstitutionality

of the law when it is once placed on the statute
books. Due Difference to the principal of State

The Pure Food Law.

1t is to be hoped that before Congress adjourns
the Senate will act favorably upon the Pure
Food bill which passed the House before the
holiday recess. There has been some diversity
of opinion as to the precise form which such
legislation should take, and this measure savers
of compromise. 1t is not so severe and empha-
tic as many would like, but perhaps it is the
best that the country is likely to get for several
years. Good judges hope that definite benefits
will result from its enactment without further
change The subject has been agitated SO vigor-
ously of late that little new light is likely to be
obtained by further discussion. 1t cannot be
truly alleged that the adoption of the measure
now would be premature. Finally. it is evident
that there is distinct demand for federal law
of this sort Mr. Hepburn said to the House a
few weeks ago that on no question of late years
have the petitions to Congress been so numerous
and urgent as on that Of pure food and drugs
There cannot be any reasonable doubt that
the people need protection from fraud in the
purchase of these articles. The legal maxim,
caveat cmptor, does not here apply, because it
is not in the power of the buyer to tel! the
quality of the goods he is getting. Indeed, he
buys even without suspicion articles in which
some harmless substitute for the genuine thing
has been introduced, or to which for preserva-
tive purposes chemical agents have been added
that may prove deleterous to health. Now, il

The post" Verified.

The Herdid says the PosT was mistaken in
the statement that the Middleburg correspondent
to the Herald has maligncd and misrepresented
people of this community. We do not propose
to argue the case. We are willing to allow the
files of the Herald and the memory of its readers
decide the case. That is the best evidence to
cUrroberate our assertions
We have no occasion to rctract anything we
have said, and as half dozen responsible parties
were compelled to deny that they were guilty of
being the correspondent in order to clear them
selves of falsehood and maligpity, it is proof be-
yond doubt that our esteemed contemporary
has been imposed upon by an irresponsible cor
respondent" whose "penny snit,' the gift of the
people, only adds testimony to confidence mis-
placed.
