"Once more, Luella. Will you be my
wife? Will you join me in a lifelong
battle for human rights?
DO you mean, as you did before,
that must live here?'
Eyes" The answer came without
hesitation.
II don't think l can do it, John. Oh,
why do you exact that! You know I
love you, John, but can't, can't live
here
do you love me?" John Gordon
said it gently. '"Then can you not
trust me-trust all to me? We must
live here in order to do the work in
the best way
Must live here?' Luella did John
Gordon injustice again in misnter-
preting his emphasis. 1t was the only
time she was ever guilty of such an
act, but that did not make it any less
serious. And again her insane jealousy
of Miss Andrews disturbed her vision
of the clear eyed love of the man who
she knew we'll enough loved herself
and her alone
1T does not seem to me possible to
learn the peoples needs anywhere so
well as here. That does not mean that
we must remain here all our lives, but
at least for some years.
Il cannot do It," Luella said slowly.
There was moment of silence.
Then the steps Of Miss Andrews and
Mrs. Penrose and Archie were heard
coming through the hall toward the
library.
John Gordon did not reply even by
word. He bowed gravely and turned
toward the others as they entered the
room.
Mrs. Penrose glanced quickly toward
Luella.
Don't you want to go over the
house? 1t is very Interestingly
Il don't believe l care about it to-
day. 1t is getting late and Miss An
drews is busy l will come down some
other time
Il shall be glad to welcome you any
time," Miss Andrews said in her calm
manner She went to the door with
them and said goodby as they entered
the carriage. AS they drove away the
last look Lucia had of the place

shallow reason led him to believe that
her feelings would tie soothed by the
devotion of another sutton, and so he
blindly went on, gaining confidence as
Luella sat perfectly still. her hands in
her lap. apparently listening to him.
"AIiss Marsh-Luella-iti is no secret
to you, l am sure, that l have long
adOred you'-he was nearer the truth
than was usual for him-"but my de-
votion will surely count in my favor.
Will you-will you entertain the

you permit me, Luella, to have some
hope Of some time winning your affec-

a sincere manner, for he felt what he
said. Don't say no to me. Think it
over. Give me some hope, Luella'-
He was astonished to see her slowly
rise and without even looking at him,
without so much as a gesture of any
kind, walk out Of the room. leaving
him sitting there on the edge of his
chair, with his hands clasped in an
appealing manner.
He sat back in the chair and waited.
At the end of five minutes of blank
silence he rose and went out into the

against the operators, offered an ad-
vance of 10 ner cent


vance of 10 per cent
The miners demanded Is per cent
and threatened to appeal to the public
with a strike and lay before the peo-
pie, who had paid double prices for
coal, the alleged enormous profits that
had been realized by operators taking
advantage of the coal shortage.
A tidal wave threatened. BY slow
degrees the operators advanced conces-
sions up to 1917 per cent.
THAT is all. We can go before the,
people if you turn down 1917 per
cent advance" was their ultimatum,
and they stood firm.
Mitchell realized that public sentt-
ment is as shifting sand. He was not
disposed to risk losing its sympathy,
which, Notwithstanding its million
treasury and army of workers, waa
the miners greatest asset. He said he
would report the offer back to the 700
delegates.
In long session of the miners be-
hind guarded doors heated protects
were made against acceptance. Mitch
ell laid before the protesting delegates
what a refusal meant. He pointed out
that the public would not stop to con-
slider technical objections; that in spite
Of paralytic effect it would frame it's
decision and pledge support on tie
basis of the 1917 per cent. At the end
of three hours Mitchelps counsel pre-
vailed.
The public had been an effective
arbiter. A $5O.0O0,OOO increase scale
was signed.-E. L. Lewis in Golfers

upon his clearly proved innocence,
which leaves no talnt upon his
reputation and character in the es.
timatlon of any fair. minded indi-
vidual. He did not have to intro
ducc n single witness in his behalf,
but on the evidence of the prose
cution alone, Judge Adams prompt
Is took the ease out OF the hands
of the jury aud dismissed it. In
his opinion in doing this he said:
Had the case Of Morrow gone to
the jury and n verdict other than
not guilty been returned, / should
nave been compelled to set it aside,
Any different verdict upon the ev e
drnce ndduccd would be discredit
to any court of justice. Courts
are shield to the innocent as
they are sword to the guilty. "
Frequently men, without commit
ting and with no intention of com
hitting wrong, are placed in sus.
piciouS attitudes through the acts
of others less innocent by reason
of the positions they hold, which
necessarily bring them in business
or political contact with designing
men. This was the case with Mr..
