millwheel of thought swung round
slowly that no section of it might be
slurred over, and the red haired girl
tossed and turned behind her.
Maisie put her chin in her hands and
decided that there could be no doubt
whatever of the villainy of Dick. To
justify herself she began unwomanly
to weigh the evidence. There was a
boy, and he had said he loved her. And
he kissed her-kissed her on the cheek
by a yellow sea poppy that nodded
its head exactly like the maddenins
dry rose in the garden. Then there was
an interval, and men had told her that
they loved her-just when she was
busiest with her work.
Then the boy came back and at theiI
very second meeting had told her that

In return she had given him nothing

election will really elect the candidates.
This will enable the republican friends of
