Desmond had loved him, and his pros
poets had begun to materialize. Then
had come the crash. Howard Des-

save his fortune. Half a million was
needed to support his lettering ven

but not until Lucy had become Mrs.

For weeks he had rallied against the
I fate that brought him fortune too late
to give him the only thing worth while,
the companionship of the woman he
loved.

had come a night when the intoxication

the conservatory at the Clivers' dance,
and for mad moment he had held
her in his arms, begging her to elope

But ven as he pleaded there had
come the sense of right. He had gen

The dawn had found him. still in his
evening clothes pacing the floor of his
apartment, and as the fresh morning
air famed his flushed face he made
his resolution.
Before the end Of the week he had
disposed of all his American interests
and had gone abroad. He left no kin
gone. For six years he had roamed
three continents, but always off the
path Of the tourist. Then had come the
fierce longing for home, and he had
come back.
Now, that he was here he was not
certain that he did not regret his de-

reminded him that he had lost his place
in the life of the city. The stopping Of
the carriage reused him, and he paid
his driver and followed the bellboy
into the hotel.
He found the stiffness of his room in

A. Howze and H. A. Knox, refused to turn over the books. papers and funds of the order and continued to exercise the duties of the offices to which c. F. John son and others had been duly elected.

 Adjustment.

Trashy" indeed, will be the subject un- der discussion at conference to be held next Wednesday morning between the mayors and city attorneys of the town of Birmingham and city of Elyton.

Women Needed In Iowa
From the Philadelphia North American. Iowa needs 46,000 more women.

From the Philadelphia North American.
 Iowa needs 46,000 more women.
 She hasn't enough schoolmarms, for one thing. About 162 schools were forced to close last year for lack )f teachers.
 And if every man in the state wanted to get married, there would have to be a large-sized importation of brides. For, according to Director Davidson of the state census bureau, there are 46,000 more men than women in the state. This is in marked con trast to New England, where there are only forty-eight males to every fifty females.
 Out of the sixty-two counties whose census has been compiled but two show a larger number of women than men. These are Floyd and DesMoines What women have seen in either county to induce them to bestow their presence more generously Is not re- vealed by the hard, cold and some times brutal census cards. But the disproportion is not at all alarming in either county, as in DesMoines there are but ninety-six more females than males, and in Floyd but forty-two.
 Appanoose, Sioux and Kossuth coun- ties may prepare for an influx of spin sters as soon as the facts become known. In Sioux county there are 1889 more men than women In Alp. panoose, 1234, and in Kossuth 959. The entire census bureau has mar veled greatly at these figures.
 Wrign, county is practically in the same class, with 300 more men than women; Marshall county has 800 more; Vista. Emmett, Clay, Hamilton, O Brien Harrison, Lyon and Crawford counties
