1t is 50 fatally easy for a mlsunder-

Johnson, gallopng swiftly through
the long lane Of Overarchlng June

upon this fact. It was over month

fully, and now his thoughts were
broodlng, as so often before, over that
last unfortunate meeting Was he to
blame or she2 Yet how could the
fault be his?
Once again he went back mentally
to the beglnning--that day when he
had telegraphed to ask If she would
ride. They had often spoken Of so do
ing, and this had been his first oppor-
tunlty. The answer had been that she
would be at the club at o'clock. John

from the stable at precisely, There
he waited. He waited until half after
A. he waited until a quarter of 8.
There was no sign of Miss GrannIs.
At last reluctantly he rode toward the

Ing her horse slowly down the main
drive in the direction Of the gate, was
the girl herself, and with her, talking
eagerly, was Ransome Sinclair, the
man Of all others whom Johnson most
detested.
For a moment Johnson had stared,
really incredulous, unable to trust his
eyes.
Then, with formal lifting Of his hat,
he was past, the dark red mounting to
his cheek and rage In his soul Had
she forgotten the engagement, or had
she deliberately thrown him over for
Slnclalr-Snclair with his millions,
who could give her everything?
In the sudden blackness revealed by
the flash Of jealousy johnson realized
for the first time how much this slen-
der, dainty girl, with her pretty little
air Of statellness, meant to him.
He had hardly gone a mile before the
impulse which had made him bow and
pass on looked the height Of ridiculous
ness, OF course there was some mis-
take. Why had he not stopped and ask
ed? But, although he turned at once, Il

Miss Grannls and Ida Newands we're

might be stopping here for a week end 2
With tingling pulses he went forward.
1t vast was! And he might never
have known! Somehow he managed to
answer properly the greetings Of Ida
and the men grouped about, then he
turned TO Miss Grannls.
He was unreasonable enough to be
disappointed when the girl gave him
merely a conventional smile. He felt
that he was the one with the right to
be angry Ida Newlands looked sharp
ly at them both. She knew Helen

something HAD occurred.
Now, as she saw Johnson, after a mo.

ton deepened. But what could be
done? In this last month Sinclair had
been pushing his advantage hard She
knew that Helen was waverlng. Ida
did not fancy Sinclair; 1t was her
brother who had asked him today. And
she did like Johnson. With a swift In

In not single congressional distrit {

vided for the nomination of their candi-
date for congress by direct vote of the
members of that party. In Detroit
the first district, the requirement exists
that all candidates for congress shall be
nominated through primary elections,
but that requirement exists by reason
of republican legislation and not through
democratic choice. The question as to
whether or not the democrats of Michi-
gan were in the least sincere in their
band wagon clamor for primary reform
two years ago, is no longer a question.
Lack of action in this case speaks even
louder than the bombastic words Of the
last state campaign

THE republican voters of ten congress

THE earnings of Michigan railroads
for the three months ending March Al,
show an increase of SI,277,I24, or more
than II per cent as compared with the
same three months last year, Part Of
this increase no doubt is due to the
differences in winter weather. Last year
the snow and ice interfered serious v
with traffic, while this year there wa S
sc freely any interference from this
quarter. The increase in earnings is so
la re, however, that a liberal allowan &C
can be made for the weather and vet
leave generous percent to the credit of
business growth. And this is most en-
couraging. 1t means that the merchants
and manufacturers have been doing a
greatly increased volume of business.
I ley have been receiving goods and
shipping them on a largely increased
scale. There has been more passenger
ira hc also, and this is something that
prosperity makes possible.
The railroad earnings serve we'll as an

the increase of IL per cent this year in
the earnings over the same months last
year afford sufficient grounds for being
