Mademoiselle Trafford, la richissiml
Americaine.

1t was the first puff of the trumpet
OF celebrity and in 1t Paula's name
counted for much The fact caused
her an uneasiness which increased as
her father remained longer away.
For the first time In her life she had
taken an important step without his
knowledge For the first time in her
| life she had concealed anything from
him, and hesitated still to make it
known. The project undertaken as
one of private benevolence had be-
come matter of almost public inter-
est. AS the girl saw her name in
print, side by side with Winship's.
fshe dreaded lest some stray para
graph should fall under her fathers
eye. It was chiefly with a view to
ayowal that she secured the privilege
OF going to meet him at the station,
on the day following her talk with
Lady Alice at Armenpnville.
Papa. I've something to confess to
you, she began, as the victoria des-
cended one of the long populous
thoroughfares leading from the Cara
du Nord. The crowd, the street cries
and the rumble of traffic gave her
courage. She felt less likely to fall
into the emotional.
Fire away" he said. good-natured-
ly.
"I've been having my portrait paint.

What! Again? We'll, that is a
crime. There will be no pardon for it
unless the guilty object is forfeited to
the state-and, 'l'etat, c'est moi"
you mayn't want it when I've told
you all 1t has turned out to be a
very remarkable work"
That's against it, Of course"
II didn't think anything about it
as a portrait when I began; but
Lady Alice Holroyd says it's very
striking, and sure to make the artists
reputation. The newspapers have
said SO. too"
"Ah, we'll That's pity. But one
can't always keep ones name out Of
the papers, worse luck"
"And I've promised him to let, IT go

whatever advantage he could get
from showing it,

He's a friend of Lady Alice's. The

REAL ESTATE EXCHANGE AND
HORSE SALES.
FARMS LISTED FOR SALE ALL
OVER SOUTHEASTERN IOWA.
SHALL SUBURBAN FARMS A
SPECIALITY.
HORSE PRICES ARE OFF.

And fully believe they will continue
SO. The high price of feed east Is cur
failing the demand for team horses
and am confident we must all expect
to sell our horses lower during the fall
and winter
But surprising they are off In price
$lb to $25 per head, they are still high
and still pay the farmer very large
profit for breeding and raising them.
While our market here must drop as
other markets drop. we can still claim
truthfully that We are away ahead OF
any other market In the state. At
last Fridays sale we had over three
times as many horses as our success-
full competing sale lat Des Moines)
had on the same date. If you can't
sell them at Ottumwa you can't, sell
them any where.
Special Sale Next Week.
On Friday the 10th we will hold
big special sale on the occasion OF
opening our new sale building, and
we are sending out hundreds and hun
dreds of circulars advertising this spe-
cial sale in all the big markets So
1t Is safe to say this will be a good
sale for you to have horses In. Just
buy them CHEAPER and we can make
you money Special sales always
have been winners for us and money
makers for our customers. My guess
Is you will make a mistake If you do
not have some market horses here on
the goth. Send me word.

short way taken-that is, If we may
judge by analogous situations In his.
tory. When moral progress is too
slow to right intolerable wrongs, tho
human race has a way OF appealing
to the Are and the sword"
DO they gain anything by that ;"
You're only to look about you ami
see. The France you're living In may
be bad enough, but It's heaven itself
compared to what 1T was before the
Revolution
Il presume you are not foretelling
similar revolution for us?,
Not If our moral forces develop
themselves, as they should; not IL We
can supplart cur love of mere brutal
bigness By an appreciation OF the.
simpler holier elements in life; not
IL the rich man would be content with
his own flock and herd, without
snatching the poor mans ewe-lamb
Then, Miss Trafford, there'd be no
new revolution. But f.
But II these signs and wonders
don't come to pass p &
I'm neither pessimist nor a pro.

when Louis XIV. laid the first stone

the train of events which drove tbs
French people into setting up the
guillotine. read the same moral
among every people on earth. where
there has been a heaping-up of wealth
and privilege for few, while the
many find 1t harder and harder to
exist"
"And it Is that heaping-up of wealth
that you take me to stand for?"
There was no indignation in her
tone. In her expression there was
only the look of pathetic interroga-
tion he had caught In her portrait.
| Winship met her gaze calmly and
frankly. Whatever he felt inwardiy
the appeal Of her helplessness did not
make him finch. He meant that she
should understand his view of her
position.
