SHALL WE RESTRAIN ENLIGHTENMENT?

The Penrose gang of congressional grafters who want
to increase postage in order that the railroads may be
in their robbery of the posoce department. plead
that printed matter does not pay its share of the postal
expenses.
Even if their motive honest the plea is mighty
poor
Even if the dissemination of magazines and news
papers of immediate loss to the government
it would be very far from the worst public object
which Uncle Sam spends his money.
Public enlightenment and the stimulation Of public
opinion and public spirit and progress might be consid
cred well worth actual expenditure if necessary
For it is to the practical information supplied to all
classes and all sections by the newspapers and magazines
that owe, perhaps than to any cause, our
marvellous national development
But it is not true that printed matter at the rate of
a cent pound loses money for the postofice.
The express companies, when they able to com
pete in point of time make lower rate and in
instances railroad companies themselves
papers at quarter of a cent pound.
If the government would make favorable terms
with the railroads do the express companies and nd-
vdua publishers there would be left for the
false plea that the perodca-the college of the
peope-should have an extra tax put upon it.

Somebody's child is dead. Somebody's soul has felt
the sharp sudden stamp of grief the destroyer of human

This is the extremity of human woe, the limit Of human
endurance the depth of human weakness.
Yet in the dead ashes of this hour of agony is rooted

A TERRIBLE MISTAKE.

A sudden sWoop from out of the
darkness. a scuffle as a man was
dragged from the passing coach by
as wild looking band of Italian
brigands as ever pictured by nov,
elist. In the road the struggle wax
ed more fierce. The tourist man
aged to grasp his revolver and as
a shot rang out one of the brigands
reeled and fell to the ground. A
dark pool formed as his life ebbed
away.
In their mountain fastness an
hour later the raiders debated over
the fate of their prisoner. With his
head aching from the blow that laid
him unconscious Edward Bruce
American millionaire, struggled
back to consciousness to find him
self bound and helpless. Around
him his swarthy captors were pro
nouncng his fate. ''He had killed
one of their number. The sentence
must be death.
In all the company there was bu
one sympathizing heart. Tessa, the
sister of the chief, hardly passed
into womanhood, gazed kindly or
the captive. Stealthily she bathet
his aching head.
Death must be his fate" the
leader said.

tive could not see, and he judged
the game by the EXPLANATIONS of
the auditors.
Two months later Bruce was a
free man. The bandit chief had
kept his word. In the weeks he had
been kept a captive Bruce had
learned to love the girl who had
played so daringly with his life as
the forfeit He had the joy of
knowing his love was returned.
Disobeying the command of the
brigand who had guided him to a
place whence he could find his way
to safety, Bruce was still in, Italy,
planning for a chance to meet mis-
sweetheart.
The opportunity came at last. A
note from Tessa told him where he
could meet her, and at the same
time she warned him not to betray
to others the meeting point.
To keep the trust Bruce climbed
the mountain to the ruined house
she indicated in her note. The
darkness of the night made pro-
gress slow and he was a half hour
late as he reached the place. The
moon, which had been hidden by
clouds, peeped through for an in.
slant as he reached the appointed
spot. 1t showed him his sweet
heart Tessa lying on the ground.
From her breast protruded a dead
ly stiletto. AS Bruce, in horror,
| kneeled to kiss the dead features,
shadowy forms sprang up all
around him. He noticed IN dull
surprise they wore the uniform OF
| Italian soldiers.
When he recovered from an at
tack OF fever he learned the details
OF the CHASTITY tragedy. The soldiers
had swooped down on the band and
captured all. Tessa. thinking her
lover had betrayed them. confessed
what she had done to her brother
Before the officers could interfere
he had grabbed stiletto from his
clothes and stabbed her.

Guerin, her girlhoOd friend and con-
fident in later years, just after a
stormy scene in his office on the
top floor of the Omaha building.

ing the door when the shot was
fired. The officer had gone to
Guerin's Office to investigate his
business as a supposed fraudulent
scheme. Mrs. Mcdonald had the
pistol in her hand. On the floor at
her feet laid the dying man. The
detective wrested the weapon and
a manuscript from the hands Of the
