For a moment he remained waiting.
Miss Carewe rose slowly and, directly
facing him, said in composed and even
voice, "You force me to beg you never
to address ME again.
She placed her hand on the generals
arm, turning her back squarely upon
Tom .,.
In addition to those who heard, many
persons in that part Of the room saw
the affront and paused in arrested at
titudes. Others, observing these, turn
ed inquiringly, so that sudden silence
fell, broken only by the voice Of Miss
Betty as she moved away, talking
cheerily to the general. Tom was left
standing alone in the broken semi
circle
All the eyes swept from her to him
and back. Then every one began to
talk hastily about nothing. The young
mans humiliation was public.
He went to the door under cover Of
the movement of the various couples
to find places in the quadrille, yet ev-
cry sidelong glance in the room still
rested upon him, and he knew it. He
remained in the hall alone through that

garden.
She was there for perhaps half an
hour, and just before she returned to
the house she did singular thing.
Standing where all was clear to the
sky, where she had stood after her talk
with the incroyable when he had bid
her look to the stars, she raised her
arms to them again, her face, pale with
a great tenderness, uplifted.

And yet it was to nothing definite,
to no man nor outline Of a man, to no
phantom nor dream lover, that she
spoke; neither to him she had af-
fronted nor to him who had hidden her
look to the stars. Nor was it to the
stars themselves.
She returned slowly and thoughtful
ly to the house, wondering what she
had meant.

opposite side Of the street, watching
the lighted windows, and twice he
caught sight of the lilac and white bro
cade, the dark hair and the wreath of
marguerites. Then. with a hot pain
in his breast and the step of a grena-
der, he marched down the street.
In the carriage Mrs. Tanberry took
Betty's hand in hers. "I'll do as you

just what you did. I'd have done it
myself, to make quite sure he would
keep away-because like him.
"I'm not sorry"' said Miss Betty
again.
"I'm not sorry!'' she repeated and
reiterated to herself after Mrs. Tan
berry had gone to bed. She had sunk
into chair in the library with book,

The Man for the Job.

Mr. A. B. Stickney denies that he has
been rendered an appointment upon the
interstate commerce commission, but
this does not mean that the president
may not be inquiring how such a ten
der would be received. It is customary
for the president to learn something Of
the attitude Of a gentleman toward an
appointment before making the offer.
Mr.. Stickney is the kind Of a man Mr..
Roosevelt would delight to see on the
commission which is now charged with
the actual supervision Of railroad rates.
He has the ability, the information, the
denee and the backbone tosdo
great credit to the position and great
service to his country. There is scarcely
position in the government service
where patriotic citizen Of Mr.. Stick
ney's capacity could do more good for
America than as an Interstate COM
merce commissioner during the next five
years.

State Competition with Trust

State Competition with a Trust.
Reasons why the cordage trust inter.
ests are coming into Minnesota to wage
war against the prison Irvine plant are
shown in the annual report Of the fed
eral commissioner Of labor, covering
the subject of convict labor. Statistics
from this report show how outside man
ufacturers have been driven from the
state by. the low prices of the prison
Irvine, and deprived Of any share in
a trade that represents Is per. cent Of
the binding Irvine consumption Of the
entire country. u
The prison labor question Is a. vex-
ing one, and the greatest problem Is to
engage convicts in profitable. labor
where they Will not compete with free
labor and bring wages down. Mime
sofas plant does not compete with
any established industry in the state,
and in opening factory at st. Paul
the cordage people are deliberately
running into competition with the
states prison labor, so are entitled to
no sympathy. The plant supplies farm
ers at little more than cost price, and
the commissioner g report gives some
interesting figures. Based Oh prices Of
the highest grade, OF ura-.e. lla
Irvine at retail, the prison plant has
been saving farmers 'front.' to.eoeeents
pound during the last six, years. This
year manilla Irvine is sold by the pris-
on at l2 cents, while the average price
of outside dealers is 1921 cents. A sim.
liar saving is effected on the lower
grades, and farmers SO appreciate the
cheapness and good quality Of the
states product that they have already
bought out every pound that the pris
on can supply before. the close Of har

Madison, Wis, July 25.-The final
argument Of the Milwaukee road on
the matter of the reduction in the pas
senger fare to 2 cents a mile was made
promise.
For the first time in all the hearings
the suggestion was made to the COM
mission today by Mr.. Ellis that the
fare might be reduced to 211a cents q
mile. Tables and. schedules were in
troduced showing the effect such a re-
duction would have and the statement
was made that, should the 21s cent
fare be adopted, the net loss on local
under the 2-cent fare, would be only
$4,000 approximately.

MIR. Dryden and the Prudential

MIR. Dryden and the Prudential.
John F. Dryden is president of the
Prudential Insurance company at
salary of $4,000 year. He is also
United States senator at $4,000 a year.
Mr.. Dryden considers himself a man of
ability and is an applicant for the re-
newal Of his franchise in both respects.
This certainly stamps Mr.. Dryden as a
man quite out Of the ordinary run when
one considers that many other United
States senators complain that their du-
ties as public officers have impaired
their earning capacity in other direc-
lions to such an extent that the country
ought to pay them at least a living
wage as senators.
Mr.. Dryden is remarkable man in
other directions, too. He has recently
testified that he approved Of the pay
ment Of company moneys to political
committees because "the management
of the company is charged with the re-
sponsibility Of the company and If in
the Judgment Of the directors conditions
are likely to be brought about that
would tend to destroy the company's as
sets or impair them it is the duty Of
the management to protect them.' On
this specious reasoning he seeks to JUS
tify Perkinsizing the assets of the Pru-
Dental to the extent Of $4,000 in be-
half of campaign committees.
$ Dryden is evidently one Of those
Bourbons Of finance who never learns
anything. His defense of this kind of
embezzlement comes after the exposures
Of the New York companies and after
the passage Of laws in that state to
prevent renewal of such burglarious
assaults upon the trust funds Of the in
sured. It is not an apology for the mis-,
takes of the past, but a bold declara!
ton Of the right and duty to perform
the same acts again Gin the Judgment
of the directors :t:4
Presumably Mr.. Dryden's personal
defeat or the arrival Of conditions
which would tend to compass that de.
feat would. in the judgment Of the
Drydenselected directors, create ssthe
duty to protect" his seat. In that
event it would be interesting to know
how far, the company would. be, called
upon to go in the direction Indicated
If Nh. Dryden spent $4,000 Of the com
pany' g assets to protect the rest from
the dangers lurking in the election Of
Judge Parker to the presidency, how
much would he contribute from trust
funds to insure the shining presence o.
