CHAPTER XIV.
Loves Confession.

When May came to herself she was
still alone. She had lit the gas before
she had drawn down the blind. She
went to the window at once. People
passing along the street would be
able to look in.
Across the road she saw a man.
He was standing under lamp post,
and appeared to be watching the
house.
That alarmed her She drew the
blind down hastily, and then noticed
that she had the unopened telegram
still crushed in her hand.
She tore the envelope open and
nerved herself to read a message from
her husband.
When she found that the telegram
was from Claire Barton, the revulsion
of feeling was so great that she sat
down and laughed Historically.
She was glad that Claire had re-
membered her; sorry that she had
not been at home when Claire called.
The message from her friend re-
minded her that she had overlooked
one means Of changing her address
without letting Mrs. Cheney know
where she had gone.
Claire had fiat, and she could find
fresh lodgings and give Claire as a
reference.
She had been sent home by the
firm, i'll, and told to take rest. She
would stay away from business for a
day or two, and employ her time in
finding fresh home. She would go
the next day and see Claire, and ask
her is she might give her name if
reference was required. She was de-
termined to get away now. She felt
sure that the house was being watch
ed with the idea that her husband
might come to her, or she might go
to him.
Probably the man she had seen un-
der the lamp post opposite was a de-
tective. She put the telegram in her
pocket and went down stairs to find
'Tunia and Mrs. Cheney, and ask them
If any one had called.
'Tunia, who had run out on an err
rand, had just come in. Mrs. Cheney
had gone to Camberwell, and 'Tunia
didn't expect her in till past TO-
TUNA told Miss Wilson that q
young lady had called about 4 o'clock
"a beautiful young lady, "got up no
end"-and she had seemed very much
"took aback" as Miss Wilson wasn't
in.
May stopped for moment chatting
with 'Tunia, and then went up stairs
to her own ROOM

She had not come home earlier be-

to know that she had been thought

She dreaded the questions the good

She had let herself in with her

The first thing she saw was tele-

With little cry of terror she tot

TWO ALERT BAGGAGE MEN.

They Dope Out Correctly the Meaning
Of the Markings on Two Trunks.
The two young husky fellows who
had come for the trunk took prompt
notice Of the Identifying markings on
1t, two dark maroon bands, painted
one around the body, across the top
and down the sides, and the other
around the trunk lengthwise around
the ends.
Everybody seems to be marking
their trunks this way now" said the
bigger OF the two baggagemen. We've
got one on the wagon right this min
nte with just the same marks on 1t

"And," said the smaller Of the two
trunk men, "it's going to the same
place."
"And," said the bigger man, "the
other ones got the same initials on
It," and In an instant they had both
doped it out completely, but the small
or man was the first to speak.
''They are going to be married." he
said.
Which was quite correct. The two
trunks with like markings were the
trunks of a prospective bride and
bridegroom who were sending them
on in advance to the first stopping
place they intended to make on their
wedding journey, and, as the two bag
gagemen now picked up this one to
carry 1t away, they said together:
1--WE wish them good luck"

CAN YOU VOTE.

The following excerpt from the
statutes Of Louisiana are, at the
present time. essential to every man
who contemplates voting at the com.
inD election. Read it carefully, and
then paste it in your hat for future
reference:
Any citizen who may have resided
in the State for two years, in the par
ish one year, and in the precinct in
which he offers to vote six months
previous to an election, may vote,
provided he be duly registered, and,
If he be under sixty years of age,
shall have paid his poll tax for the
two years Immediately previous to
that in which the election is held.
The same laws refer to naturaliz-
ed as to native citizens. It should
be noted that declaration OF inten-
tion on the part of foreigner to
become citizen. no longer gives the
privilege Of voting as 1t did under
article 1885 Of the Constitution. Tn
der the Constitution OF 1898, the
one now in force. the foreign-born
voter must be = naturalized citizen.
Registration papers which read
l9o3-19O7 are not good for any cleo
ton IN 1908. They expire with the
two years ending with 1907. To|
vote in the 1908 elections the regis
tration certificate must read 1907
1909.
A voter qualified to cast his ballot |
must have reached his twenty-flrst
year OF life on or before the day Of |
One who will have attain

that the immigration wave was still
