sion, and the talk had turned on the
question of whether or not woman
ever is justified in declaring her
love.
She easily may be justified, |
think" said stately Miss Oily. fifty
five and handsome with gray curls
and rosy cheeks and lips that still
smiled bewitchingly, "but she never
is wise to do So know of sad case
Of the kind.
"A girl loved man, but was not
sure--perhaps he was not sure
whether or not he loved her in return.
They we're splendid friends, and his
tender, considerate manner might
have meant almost anything. The girl
loved him so well that the uncertainty
was torture, only comforted by the
knowledge that he had no other girl
friend. let alone lover, to share the
questionable devotion to her This
went on for some years.
"At last she fell i'll. The doctor, in
fact, told her that she had no chance
of recovery. She was not altogether
sorry, since. the man never had spok-

now, with death so near, she could
settle the problem. 1t would be no
immodesty to speak of love now.
so she sent for the man, who, see
ing her so weak and helpless, forgot
conventionality, remembered only ten
derness and affection and bent to
kiss her Then, poor thing. she was
sure it had been love all along.
She told him, all in breath, all
that she had thought, and suffered
and knew, the whila he chivalrously
answered that he had loved her al
ways-as he had, indeed, in way.
Yet she felt the truth--that he never
had loved her. 1t was only friendli
ness and liking. He was lying now
to save her happiness and pride.
"She dismissed him at once, brave
ly keeping up the play of believing
his tale until the door had closed up
on him. Then, bitterly self-contemp-
tuous, despairing she turned her face
to the wall and tried to die"
We'll, l don't see that it mattered
whether or not she told him." cried
eager little Millie Simpkins, her eyes
wet and shining. "Of course, it was
too bad that he didn't really love her,
but, after all, 1t would make no differ

Miss Oily rose and laid her hand
for a moment on the girls head be-
fore replying. When at last she spoke
again there was new throb in her
quiet tone Perhaps she had spoken
with purpose seeing that little Milly
was allowing her regard for careless
young Stone to become subject to talk
among the veranda gossips
'Ah, but you see,' she said softly,
the doctor was mistaken after all,
and things didn't turn out as he ex- |

MAJOR HOGAN ON

TAKES GLOOMY VIEW OF sITuA-
TON IN cAiRo--sAYs CAIRO
TRACTION COMPANY MAY DE-
FEAT ORDINANCES.

The following letter from Major
Dan Hogan to Mayor Browner of
Mound City, came to The Bulletin in
yesterdays mail:
Danville, ILL.,, Oct. 20, 1907.
Hon. M. f. Browner,
Mound City, Illinois.
Dear Mr. Browner:
In reply to your and many other
inquiries with reference to the inter-
urban road, would say that the delay
Is caused by reason of the fact that
the company have been delayed In
procuring the proper ordinance in
Cairo. OF course this must be had
before the construction would be com
menced. ! am sorry to say that it
does not look to me at all encourag-
ing. The local street railway In Cairo
have evidently concluded that the in
crease to its population by reason of
the building of the interurban, to the
city of Cairo. and the drainage dis
trict, will not equal the loss that they
might sustain in the lighting of Cairo,
Mounds and Mound City, which the
much cheaper and much better than
the service those towns are now re-
ceiving. They are opposing the ordi-
nance at Cairo very vigorously. In
n nf hn
pany told me when last in Cairo, that
we could not get an ordinance
the city council unless it was
to his company. The OBJ
lection offered to the ordinance now
before the council by them, and those
they influence, on the surface, Is
against the fifty year franchise. Any
business man will readily see that
no company or capitalists would in.
vest the large sum on money that is
required to build this road on short |
9r franchise. When you consider that |
Ill of us are reaching out for steam |
'ailroads and giving them perpetual |
franchise, and that the experience of |
hel arge territory through which in
.erurban roads have been built in the |
United States is largely in favor of |
he interurban road, so far as it eff |
ects the welfare, increase of popula
ion, and Of the property generally, |
We have evidence of that in our own |
state. In, Danville, Decatur and |
it is claimed by the |
Test informed citizens Of those places
hat the interurban roads running into |
hese cities have nearly doubled their
population in the last seven or eight |
ears. Contrary to the general theory

reased service to their citizens.
lave thought for the last two or
hree years since | have been look
az into the development of the coun
ry in thisrpar of the state where the
roads are numerous, that
n interurban road is just what is
ceded in Southern Illinois. Every
ody will agree that Cairo and Mound
tity with their unexceptional geo
raphical position are i'll need of some
ort OF a start. Ii Cairo grows as Il
