come down now. She will be pleased to
see any friend OF Adde'S.
Monica soon reappeared with Mrs. Del
ahay, who looked feeble and white.
You will stay and have some tea with
u? asked Monica You must excuse me
getting it ready myself. We don't keep
a servant, although We have a woman to
do the rough work.
Monica is very fond Of housework, ex-
planned her mother, looking at her
proudly.
The old lady seemed deyotedly fond Of
her daughters, thought Chesteron. He
himself had conceived great pity and
admiration for Monica. She was pretty
girl and seemed tied down to hard life,
yet she was SO bright and apparently con-
tented with her lot. Adelaide must lis
ten to reason, stop this unnecessary sla-
very, and allow him to supply them with
sufficient means to make their lives
pleasant to them. Would she submit?
She must! She was his wife and must
do as he considered right.
Aldwyth spent pleasant half hour
with Mrs. Delahay, Monica coming in
and out, laughing and talking She had
set the tea-table when a key turned in
the lock Of the front door. and she cried
There's Addie, at last!
Tie door of the room was open, and
Addie entered, throwing down a port
folio Of sketches. She did not see Ches-
teron for moment, but went straight up
to her mother and kissed her gently,
saying
All right, mother dear?
Quite well, dearest. But see, Addie,
you have visitor.
A visitor! The girl turned round
Charlie Dellwyn flashed into her mind.
You! she gasped, turning extremely
pale, as she met Chesteron's eyes. You!
Yes-I. Aldwyth went forward and
took her unwilling hand. drawing her
slightly away from her mother.
You have told them? Addie asked
pleadingly.
Nothing.

SMOOT SHOULD DIE FIGHTING
Mormon Senator'S Course Is tc Defy
the United States Senate

SALT LAKE, Utah, Dec. 31.-If
Senator Reed Smoot takes the ADVICE
of eX- United States Senator Frank
]. Cannon, who is one of the leading
Normors Of Utah, he will strenuousIy
declare to the United States that he
believes in pOlygamy ard all the other
doctrines of the Mormon church and
notify the senate to unseat him. SEN
ator Cannon says:
The bold way is always the best.
Senator SmOot is one of the apostles
Of the church which claims direct rev.
elatiOn from heaven. The voice of
God is superior to any earthly voice.
AS an apostle Senator Smoot would
obey the will Of God against the will
Of man. Why not come out and say
SO and challenge the senate Of the
United States to the issue?
What possible object can be gained
by equivocation? That brilliant man,
Brigham H. Roberts, was misled from
his own view Of the case and instead
Of taking the simple heroic stand he
was advised by great leaders of his
party to assume an augumentative po-
sition.

"Wsy Down East" January q,

VIM. a. Brady's production Of Way
Down East which will be presented
at the Walla Walla theatere on Jan. 81
is story Of homeiy country life in
New England, and it has all the vir-
tues and simplicity in the telling to
make q great and enduring play. There
are types of character in it which are
familiar to every one. The author
Lottie Blair Parker and her collabora-
tor, Jos. r. Grismer, have succeeded
in painting them true to life. The
play has moments of real dramatic in
tensity, and a genuine heart interest.
Nor is the comedy element wanting.
In fact, the very nature of the charac-
tiers insure humor. Such creations as
Hi Holer'' the chOre boy, THE Town
Constable" Martha Perkins, the gossip,
and Seth Holcomb" with his susp1-
cious long life btters,' cannot but
insure enjoyment even while the eyes
are still dimmed with tears.
Way Down East is a thoroughly
wholesome play.
Scores of ministers have used its
theme as text, and hundreds Of others
have given it their unqualified en-

The Building Trades Council took
the strike in hand and ordered all
crafts to cease working on buildings
where non union plumbers were work
ing or had been working. The Master

their threat. but declare that they pro-
pose to do so after the holidays.

Warning From Roberts.

Roberts lost his seat and, also, los
a part of a great opportunity to deliv-
err testimony to the sanctity of his fam
lily relations and to the truth as he
saw it. Will Senator Smoot do the
same?
There is not child Is years old

which Senator SmOot is q leader, who
does not know the claims set up for
divine guidance by the prophets, seers
and guidance, of whom Senator Snoot
is one. What object can be gained by
eVadlng the argument?
If Senator Smoot will take a bold
stand and VOW as a truth that the au-
thority of Almighty is upon him and
that he and his associates and his su-
periors in the church are the living
oracles of living God, then he Will
