Danvers put his arms about her

Slowly she adjusted her weight to the
wire and began to make her way

would not do to look down, so he shut
his eyes and hung on.
Once or twice the girl seemed to lose
her balance and for n moment worked
the parasol violently while she regain

at last, with sigh, she stepped off the
wire, and Danvers opened his eyes.
They We're on the farther side, and
just beyond was the open scuttle.

Organ Grinder's Winter Resort.

The organ grinders of America, ne
less than the milllonaires, have their
winter resort. The organ grinders
winter resort Is Italy, the italian Ri
vlera, and every boat that sails for Ma
pies or Genoa in the late autumn has
a steeragc crowded with organ grind
ers. These men do so well in the
spring and summer that they can af-
ford a winter Mt home. Their home Is
n lovely one. far different from what
they would get II they stayed in Amer
lea. They sit at home on ancient
stone benches In the sunny squares Of
little mountain towns. Behind them
rise in the blue ana gold air the pale
pinnacles of the Maritime Alps. Be-
fore them, but far below, stretches the
blue and flistoninG floor OF the sea,
with tiny ships coming and going. Yes,
It Is very pleasant for the organ grind
er5 ut home. Palms bloom every
wherc. Oranges, yellow as gold, shine
among the foliage. The air is sweet
with the perfume of the great rose and
violet farms that feed the voraclous
perfume factories OF Grasse. And it is
cheap. For 10 or 10 cents a day an
organ grinder can be as happy in his
winter resort as the millionaire can
be In his for SO or $15.

The burglary insurance included the
services of a night watchman and

GREEN.GOODS MEN

The following interesting item is not
taken from a Populist or Democratic

Of an old-line Republican paper, the
New York Press:

welt, Governor Hughes and Senator

the facts. These facts are that the
chickens of high finance are coming
home TO roost. They are nobody else S
chickens; they must climb 10 the
perches Of those TO whom they belong
Years ago this paper predicted the
very things that are now coming 10
pass, and repeatedly, through the
wild debauch of the railway manipu-
lators. we have warned them that they
were Fastening the day Of reckoning.
The whole trouble with their schemes,
as we have often pointed out, is not
that the public has started what they
are pleased to call a prairie fire. 1t is
that they have simply been carrying
on green goods swindles on colossal
scale.
Can it be possible that such anarch-
istlc talk has emanated from Repub-
lican paper? To what are we coming ?

THAT LONG RIDE

Lieutenant McCabe, Of the United
States army, and son Of Col. W. Cor
don McCabe, of Richmond, has been
selected TO make that long ride, on an
Arabian horse in order to test the en-
durauce of horse and soldier. This is
unnecessary tax ON man and beast.
The world knows already that the
Arabian is the horse of most endurance
and just as well satisfied that the Viz
ginia boy can stick to the horse as long
as the horse sticks to the road. Why,
then, this test Of endurance? The
horse is II years Of age and should
be allowed to spend the evening Of
life in the discharge of necessary du-
ties while the manly strength of the
young soldier should be put to better
uses.
But the Thaw trial has ended and
the reading public must have a
strenuous successor.

Good ROADS AND Good SCHOOLS.

The gravest economical and social
problem now facing our country is the
ever increasing congestion Of our popu-
lation in the towns and cities, with the
resultant depopulation Of the country
districts.
Not only the welfare Of our country,
but the very life Of our democratic in-
stitutions and the perpetuity of our
republic depends upon our finding the
means TO check. and in the course Of
time. remedy this alarming dri't Of the
people away from the soil to the city.
The happy solution Of this grave
problem, the sure remedy for this por.
tentous evil, is found in making rural
life more attractive and agricultural
pursuits more profitable. And the
two factors that enter most largely i'm
to producing these results are good
roads and good schools. At this time
we will deal only with
GOOD ROADS.
/. Good roads make rural life more
attractive in several ways.
First socially. Country neighbor-
hoods in Virginia are thinly settled at
best and neighbors often live one 10
five miles apart. During the summer
and early fall when the roads are fair
ly good the rush Of farm life prevents
any great amount Of social pleasure.
