chair forward, "st here where you can

love for you, and it never will. Know

THANK you for saying that, dear" he
responded, with a tremOr in his tone.
But unhappily others may believe it.
If they do, then the career you have
expected for me must be at an end at
once. My reputation for integrity will
be gone for good, and | must be con-
tent to surrender all my ambitions.
That is why l must tell you Of this
ugly thing before again asking you to
be my wife

that l had quarreled with Napier

girl. Nobody who knows you viii

No Captain Hallam would not for
a moment think Of such a thing as even
possible But that is because he knows
me as few other men do or ever will.
But the accusation troubles him, be-
cause he knows that other people will
believe It, He and Richard Temple

You must have hope and confidence.
Besides, nobody who knows you will
ever believe such a story as that. Your
own life will contradict the lie, and
Tandy's reputation is not Of a kind TO
lead sensible people to believe his false
hood when you have set the truth
against it, You are depressed and de
spondent now. The mood is unworthy
of you"
"Tell me what l should do"
First of all you should act like the
brave, strong man that you are. You
should either take this SANDER by the
throat and strange il by publishing
simple, direct statement of the facts,
or you should ignore it altogether as a
thing too absurd to need even a denial
Wait till you see what Captain Hallam
and Mr.. Temple succeed In doing and
then act as seems best. But, In any
case, you must be strong and coura-
geous. No other mood belongs to such
a man as you"
Duncan looked her full in the face
for a space before speaking. Then he
said:

ASLEEP In THE ALLEY.


Asleep in tho mud and mire Of

in the habit Of telling more lies to
get out of other lies, when caught:

of the county are falling over one an

signature partisan of the Clarksburg
judge. The files of at least two OF
them, however, viii disclose that
during the campaign last fall they
lent themselves to the most abusive
attacks upon the political principles
of the judge and even printed arti-
cles rejecting on his integrity and
moral character, 1t would be the
manly thing to do for the papers in

cratic slogan for the city campaign.

en-, but it is a question as to whether
Democracy will stand for it, and es-

beggars than anything else has. in
its hunger worked itself up. BY the
pangs of starvation to that imagina-
tion that an honest, clean, enterpris-
ing paper can not subsist unless it
exacts tribute. Its idea of the
existence of paper whose political
faith predominates is that such paper
can only thrive by sapping some one
that may have a privilege or may
be a yiolator of the law. The idea
Is a strange one in Clarksburg but
there is according to the idea adj
ganced by the News wish. for a
newness Of things and the wisher is
the News itself who wants tribute.
In other words, the News seems per-
fectly willing that yiolators Of law
should pay it. in the event it should
some time represent the dominant
party and the people, and be free to
commit all sorts of violations. All
that sheet wants is to be seen. :
And it asks the Democrats Of Clarks-
burg to see that such happens.
Should the Democrats accept that as
an issue the Telegram is ready 10
take up the flight on such grounds.

such desire EXISTS with this paper
or any such practice.

accuse it except fellow who seems
to be as void of principle as his skin

patience with the howl now being

eager for even Democrats to suffer
rather than lose an imaginary politi-
cal argument. But, then their argu-
ment is so thin and their bowling so
empty that no one is at all perturbed.
