ID. p. Smith In this campaign, and,
So far as | have been able t. STE. the
only reason advanced by Mr.. Osteen
and his friends why Mr. Smith
should not be- reelected. i that he
has held the office for Il number of
wears.
Now, to my mind this is about
III" weakest argument that could be-
used If it even can be called an ar
gumcni. Ny experience Ia buaI-
ness affairs has been that the luE Ger
a man fills any position the more
valuable he l.. ne knows the ino and
outs of his work. and of course can
perform his duties more >.itIoi:rc-
torlly than Il new man, or "Ic not
ronvcrsant with his work. Now |
take it, that Il public Office i in :,
measure the same. What We wan,

until night; and if l woke in the darkness, there was
my heart still singing: IL love you, love you!'
One day my heart sang too happily, and some
one heard. In the first of the second act the
regiment embarks a troop-ship for foreign service
The troopers, dsmounted and carrying their kits,
come swinging along to the pier-head, the band
in front playing " The Girl | Left Behind Me, and

and hustle; and while the soldiers pass, | stand
in the porch of the inn and wave my handkerchief
and pretend to weep.
One night as | was doing this, and Mr.. Travis
the Sergeant was striding by with the marching
troops he stopped short, looked back at me, and
then went on. That was all But in that instant of
time, in the midst of that confusion and hubbub
and in some way that puzzles me to this moment,
he had heard the singing of my heart l blushed
crimson and covered my face with my handkerchief
1t too late: he had knew it, and my
secret was out. To think that the man whom
loved with poor little tremulOus love should not
guess, while the one whom | almost loathed
should read me like boOkl

them apart in the pale moonlight which filtered
downward from the flies. They made only one

sounds of labOred breathing and grunts and curses

persistent enemy-and sank to the
ground spent with WEAKNESS, every
night when he stood modest but
brave before a COurt-martial of his
brother officers and made the great
sacrifice, telling lie. dragging his

honor of the regiment might be
unstained, | watched him and loved
him dearly.
To be near him, to look upon
him, young and glorious in his
brilliant Lieutenant uniform, to
listen to his voice, set my heart to
singing joyously. He was so gra-
Cious, so manly, his expression and
manner were so natural and full of
charm, that the heroic words he
uttered, his deeds of daring and
self-saCritice, were just what might
have been expected of him-part
and parcel of the man himself.
AS we came to know each other
better, it made me proud it gave
me the greatest happiness, to feel
that he was doing nightly on the
stage precisely what he would have
done under similar conditions in
the actual living world outside

of me confirmed me in this opinion

This recommendation was unanim-
ously concurred in. The seating of
fraternal delegates from the Farm

an epoch in the labor movement of
the west, and both of these gentle
men in addresses in open meeting
confessed that they had in the con-

forever be favorable to organized
labor, and would so report to their
respective associations. The State

became so familiar with their parts
that after a weeks rehearsal they
called each other by their stage
names. Hunter was known as
Claude all over the neighborhood,
while Jenny Dalton was caught sew
eral times blowing her breath on
the window pane and writing with
the knuckle of her little finger
Madame Deschappelles.
Mr.. Bruce spoke of the matter on
the street as a little nonsense of
the girls, you know" The birthday
came on Friday, and Tuesday was
to be the full dress rehearsal. The
parlor was full of critics and they
all talked very loud and fast during
the entire acts.
The next morning Bella awoke
with a headache and wondered if it
was a forerunner of sweet fame.
The maid handed her a little note.
1t was from Jenny Dalton, and it
ran thus:
MY dear Pauline, has anything
been arranged about the tickets?
| shall want some for my friends,
Tell Dodd to send me so. How do
hate that man! Did you notice how
he tried to confuse me last night?"
THE mean, contemplate thing"
cried Pauline, getting up and open
ing her writing desk. "She wants to
pack the place with her friends and
get all the applause, does she? Well
We'll sect" Then she wrote: my
dear Mother Deschappelles. What
can you be thinking Of? If we are
all to have so tickets apiece, how'll
we make room? Don't be cross, and
run over as soon as you can"
Of course Bella had to tell Mrs.
Hopkins. her near relative and adj
mirer, and in reply that heroic aunt
with an executive turn OF mind, ex-
claimed: "My dear, you were quite
right; her friends would override
everything. If necessary, tell her
she's not needed. I'll read the part
myself" Then followed another
note from Jenny:
My dear Pauline, | can't possibly
come, and I'm afraid | shall have
to give up my part. Isn't it toe

cradle to the extreme, and wicked,
too, for she had placed that hiss
and, passing Miss Dalton in tha
wings, she exclaimed: You heart
less thing!" Whereupon Jenny, fol-
lowing her to her dressing room,
retorted: 81 won't allow you to call
me vulgar names, Miss Bruce. I'm
derstand that once for ALI"
Things looked very threatening
for a time, but the police were now
called in, and finally both of them
went on to the finish, wiping their
eyes, but with sweet, square smiles
on their lips.
But it wasn't the mismanagement
of the affair that made it painful,
it was the bitterness that sprang
out Of it. Uncle Ned hasn't set his
foot in the house since; the Bruces
and the Daltons are enemies for
life, and as the entire dramatis per-
sonae took sides, there remains be-
tween them an unending hatred.
1t would be cruel at this still
early period to say theater to Papa
Bruce, who was in for more than
$500 of expense-plus his feelings,
and Bella has entirely gotten over
her craze for the stage.
