I'M there was no suggestion Of
shame in her thoughts or her
words, but to Loder, watching and lis
tening, there was a periIous meaning
contained in both.
ssThankfulness p he repeated slowly.
From his newly stirred sense Of re-
sponsibiIity pity and sympathy were
gradually rising. He had never seen
Eve as he saw her now, and his vision
was all the clearer for the long OBJ
livion. With a poignant sease Of COM
passion and remorse, the knowledge
Of her youth came to him the youth
that some women preserve in the
midst of the world when circum-
stances have permitted them to see
much, but to experience little.
ssThankfulness? he said again in
credulously.
A slight smile touched her lips
eyes, she answered softly" thank
fulness that my trust had been rightly
placed
She spoke simply and confidently, but
the words struck Loder more sharply
than any accusation. With a heavy
sense of bitterness and Remuneration he
moved slowly forward.

don't know what you say
she had lowered her eyes as he came
toward her. Now she lifted them in a
swift upward glance. For the first
time since he had entered the room a
slight look of personal doubt and I'M
easiness showed in her face. "Why3'
she said. I'll don't understand"
For a moment he answered nothing.
He had found his first explanation over
whelming. Now suddenly it seemed to
him that his present difficulty was more
impossible to surmount. II came here
tonight to tell you something he be-
gan at last, "but SO far I have only

ssYes, llalf.'' He repeated the word
quickly, avoiding the question III her
eyes. Then, conscious Of the need for
explanation, he plunged into rapid
speech.
"A fraud like mine,s he said, has
only one safeguard, one justification a
boundless audacity. Once shake that
audacity and the whole motive power
crumbles. 1T was to make the audacity
impossible-to tell you the truth and
make it impossihIe-fh that I came to-
night. The fact that you already knew
made the telling easier. but it altered
nothing
Eve raised her head, but he went
resolutely on.
Tonight he said, Il have seen into

rose from his seat and made
his apologies to Lillian.
At any other moment he might have
pondered over her manner Of accept
ing them-the easy indifference with
which she let him go. But vastly
keener issues were claiming his atten-
ton, issues whose results were wide
and black.
He left the fheater and, refusing the
overtures Of eabmen, set himself to
walk to Chilcote's house. His face
was hard and emotlonless as he hur-

his pace To a strong man the con-

His voice as well as his expression
had changed. He still spoke quietly,
but he spoke with interest. He was
no longer conscious Of his vague
uneasiness; fresh chord had been
struck in his mind, and his curiosity

Women Lawmakers in Finland.

(Woman's National Daily.)
Nineteen women holding seats in
congress. What do you think of it?
Not in any little congress 0f women's
clubs or anything of that sort, but in
the lawmaking body of nation.
Not one in ten thousand people in
this quarter of the globe know that
this is a fact, altho there Il, really no
reason why they should not know it.
These women have won congressional
honors and assumed the duties Of law
makers in Finland At the election
held in that country only e. couple OF
weeks ago the socialists developed sur
prising strength and, consistent with
their pretensions. they nominated a
number Of women for congressional
seats. This forced the other parties to
do the same thing.
When the ballots were counted it
was found that nineteen women had
been elected, nine o. them socialists.
They have taken their seats and prom
ise to make good lawmakers To fully
appreciate the Importance of this it
must be borne in mind that never be-
fore have women or woman been
elected to the national lawmaking body
of any country. -

ard if he had tgied to lay the matter
before the grand jury, and have Macs
tretti punished. Attorney Barrett We
hemently objected, claiming that
Maestretti was member of the prose-
cution. Heney jumped to his feet, his
face red with anger.

Its not false, and wnen you say 1t

had the right to be heard in the
clients interest, but the judge cut him
short with curt order that he be
