little sigh: "Not just yet. 1 must find

"What things?" Trent persisted.
Denise looked away. "They are

the money you would stand for" she
said at last, ''or whether l truly
like you yourself"
"Settle it either way, just so you
take me-" Trent said joyously.

Trent chuckled. "Tell Sister Ketch-
am you're going to be married and
want Linda for bridesmaid. Then, of
course, she won't mind letting her go
along to help select wedding finery"-
"That she WILL" Denise interrupted.
"She doesn't believe in weddings, hard
ly in marrying. l reckon she's 'fraid if
Linda sees too much of the holy in
stitution therell be no chance Of her
keeping single or devoting her and her
money to the missionary cause"
Notwithstanding Denise was certain
she could fetch Malinda. She was al
ready rehearsing a fairy tale Of bar
gains that would, she knew well, ap-
peal nightly to the thrifty Ketcham
soul. And all would have fallen out ex-
actly as she had planned if there had
been no BaxterS, whom she had left
wholly out of account Unluckily Mad
am Baxter overheard enough Of talk
between Denise and her maid Rena to
let her guess pretty well how the land
lay. So Denise was hardly away from
the Ketcham place, with Linda trem-
bling and happy at her side, than mad
am was telling Sister Ketcham over
the phone a deal. more than all she
knew or even suspected. And thus it
fell out two hours later that as Billy
and Linda stood up before the minis
ter, hearing, but not needing, his sol
emn exordium, the door was filled with
blocky figure, red faced, gasping and
for the moment speechleSs.
Amos Trent was no big man; still he
had a grip. Before Sister Ketcham
found voice he was beside her, holding
her fast with one hand, the other laid
firmly over her mouth. And there it
stayed, while the minister, sensing the
situation. hurried through his office.
Billy said afterward he "beat the time

with suave REIMBURSEMENT that left
Sister Ketcham still upright. AS she
glared at him Denise ran up to them,
holding out her hand and blushing like
d rose. "We have made such dread

Of it, she. said. Eyes, you may have
me if you will take me. l shall never
feel taller than you any more"
So then and there the minister had
another job cut out for him. He did it
with flourish and always said he was
proud of the days work. Sister Ketch-
am was for making him trouble, but
found she had no case; also that since
she had seen her niece married in the

Praise from a Democratic Newspaper.

The New York Times, one of the
Democratic newspapers which has
been denouncing President Roosevelt's
Philippine policy, recently printed an
editorial leader on the settlement of
the Friars' land question. The article
concludes: 1T is creditable both to the
intelligence and tie humanity of the
government" If the Tines was less
partisan it could truthfully say that
every act of the Roosevelt admins
tration in dealing with the Philippine
question was creditable to the Unitel
States.

How the Gentle Japs Treat Animals.

How the Gentle Japs Treat Animals.
The Youths Companion gives Pro
fessor Morse as authority for the
touching sketch of Japanese treatment
of animals:
sBirds build their nests in the city
houses; wild fowl, geese and ducks
alight about the streets. He had act
ually been followed by wild deer in
the streets, nibbling melon rind out of
his hand, as tame as calves and lambs
on our farms. A dog goes to sleep in
the busiest streets; men turn aside so
as not to disturb him. One day a
beautiful heron alighted on the limb
of a tree, and the busy, jostling throng
stopped. No one attempted to injure
the bird. but several began sketching
him."

Judge Parker's attempt to pose as a
bulwark against Democratic attacks
on the personal honor and integrity
of President Roosevelt" is one of the
humorous incidents Of the campaign.
No Democrat has yet had the temer-
ity to assail the presidents personal
honor and integrity" and none is
likely to make the attempt while the
president is awake. Parker evidently
has gone into the circus business.

A BODnleraur.

"Make Rooseveltsm the ISSUE" de-
manded the New York World, and
Democrats, big ard little, began bark
ing and snarling at the heels of the
president, but the more they barked
the more friends they made for Roose-
welt. Now, Judge Parker, having seen
the effect of the ill-advised issue, has
asked his managers to drop Roosevelt
ism, but his admonition comes too late.
Republicans will see that the issue is
not lost sight of.

There seems to be one tie that
binds New York's judicial candidate
for the presidency and the Democratic
candidate for governor of New York
they both voted for free silver in
1896 and 1900. Neither of them ap-
parently would have conscientious
scruples about voting for a yellow dog,
provided he had the regular emblem
of his party branded on both ears and
wagged his tail without the consent ol
any other nation.

rather sing the praises of her
