Ellen fairly turned white. She
entered her house again. This
time she locked the front door,
turning the key with a vicious
snap. She knew now that her
guest could not arrive in time for
any meal except supper. She put
the dinner array into the pan
try.
When the next train was due,
Ellen sat doggedly knitting. She
would not go to the door; but
she could not resist the temptation
to glance out of the window, and
she had an uncanny sensation
when the old white horse, followed
at a short interval by the black.
again came into sight. Her knees
writhed with suppressed emotion;
but she would not get up. As
before, the white horse went jerk
ing past, and the bowling black
one at a gallop. Ellen Wise for
the first time in her life felt fairly
superstitious. She had cold chill
in her spine.
She told herself that she must
put foolish fancies out of her mind,
and set the table for supper. She
made some biscuits, and sliced
some cake. She also put on the
table frosted lemon pie. Guess
] won't cut that till just before
we sit down, she said with a last
lingering doubt
At quarter past five everything
was ready. At quarter before six
Ellen gave her guest up. Ann
Maria Hazen could not be coming
that night at all Ellen ate little,
and cleared away her supper table.
The next morning she rose
early, made herself a cup of
coffee, and hurried down to Mrs
Ebenezer fuckers.
Mrs. Tucker stared at her when
she entered. What's the mat
ter? Aren't you well?" she asked.
You look sort of feverish. How
IS Ann Maria?"
She didn't come"

Ellen got up. That's decided,
then she said.

Il know it; but I've got plenty

Mrs. Ebenezer rose and accom-
panied Ellen to the door. When
she opened it the keen night air
came in their faces. The sky was
wonderful with stars. Its going
to be a clear day tomorrow, "
said Mrs. Ebenezer. Il hope
you'll have a good time, Ellen -
Thank you, said Ellen, gath

THE close approach of the winter sea
son is giving rise to the usual conjec-
lures and predictions regarding the kind
of weather we are 10 get. and the
weather prophets, both professional and
amateur, are doing their best to solve
the problem and give the people the
benefit of their alleged skill as prognos-
ticators. The only trouble with these
weather guessers is the fact they new
er seem able to get together, and their
predictions regarding the coming winter
season are as variable and as wide
apart as usual.

600 people, mostly wage-earners, term
ed "Undigested Americans, are going
back to Europe this fall. They came
here without intention of staying, but
to work for wages that are several
times greater than they could get at

being to go back to their place of ma

THE disappearance of "trusty'

illustrate the folly of placing criminals
in positions where they are really in
vited to escape. The ''trusty' business
has been sadly overworked both in
state penitentiaries and in county jails.
1t has cost the tax payers no small
amount of money to chase up prisoners

ed and sixty-four wounded 80 far this
year, if reports are reliable. A South
American revolution is harmless in COM
parison herewith. When lists of the
killed and injured grow so large as they
have the past few, years, it is time rad
zeal steps were taken to make life safer.
Wisconsin and some other states have
placed heavy penalties on the accidental
killing of human beings by hunters, but
they have not ended the evil. They have
only taken first steps, which should be
followed further, out of the simplest
consideration for the safety of human
life in this country.
