THE GIRL LOBBYIST

The library bill passed to its third
reading and columns were printed
in the newspapers about the fight.
The measure itself was not important
but for some reason the minority
leader had determined upon making
a party fight on what was merely an
appropriation for some travelling
state libraries.
| Kitty had helped her father frame
| the bill and was tremendously in
terested in it's success. It was the
first time that she had dipped into
politics and she found the game vast
ly diverting.
| She read every line in all of the
| papers that referred to the bill, and
the morning that the bill was to come
up she saw in the opposition paper
a scathing editorial on the lobbying
| that was being practiced.
1t was written with no basis of
truth and was designed merely as
an excuse for the passage of the
| measure. The leader had erred on
making fight on so popular a bill,
and his defeat was being condoned
before the vote was taken that show
ed his weakness in the party.
| Kitty did not know this. She saw
only the denunciation of the cor
| ruption and with gasp realized
that she was one Of those upon
whose heads was heaped all of the
Ivillification that veteran political
writer could bring to bear.
OF course only her father and Carl
knew, but none the less she had
bribed Welburn to vote as she de-
sired in the face of the fact that
he had intended to vote with his
party.
With sob she buried her head
upon her crossed arms and cried un-

| flap fell behind him.
She clutched at the canvas fear
fully, and peered anxiously after his
lurching figure. She saw the ring
master give him a brief, searching
look and then shrug his shoulders
understandingly.
A moment later she heard the
stentorian tones of the announcer,
and in haze saw Wilbur's hand
some face flushed to brilliant red
ness by the dancing fire of the flare
lights as he tossed his hat to one
side of the ring.
Outside of an unaccustomed reck-
lessness, the preliminaries passed
without event, and she drew a long
breath of relief at his dexterous con-
troll of himself and steed.
When they led out the vicious
Demon her fears had nearly vanished
and she watched Wilbur mount with
proud confidence in his ability to
handle the savage horse. His reck-
less skill drew loud bursts Of ap-
plause, and as the act neared the
finish she turned to leave, secure in
the belief that all danger had passed.
Then, glancing back for a final
look, she was Mortified to see the
saddle girth part and Wilbur pitch
forward upon his face. He lay there
motionless, and with helpless fas-
cination she watched the maddened
horse rear above his head. Then her
senses reeled and she knew no more.
"He had no right to get drunk"
she heard the ringmaster say saw
agely, as she struggled back to con-
seriousness.
The words struck meaningless up
on her benumbed senses. Then, as
she lifted herself upon one elbow,

JUDGED OTHERS BY HIMSELF.

Corporal James Tanner was talk
ing in Washington about CRATER.
"He thinks all men are grafters,"
said Corporal Tanner, because he
is one himself. So does the coward
think all men share his cowardice.
There is a story about a young
recruit who. in his first engagement,
lost heart. The ping-g-g of the bul-
lets terrified him. Spying a hole in
the ground, he broke from the ranks,
rushed to 1t, and threw himself with
in, covering against the earth.

terrified recruit, clapped him on the
shoulder and said:

"It was little white cottage with
purple flowers climbing up over the
door,"
Nell's act that evening was per-
formed with unaccustomed clumsi-
ness, and secured for her sharp
treprimand from the ringmaster. But
to this she gave no heed. At the
sacrifice of pride, she had determined
to interior and save Wilbur from
the disastrous possibilities of coming
out drunk.
Searching rapidly among his &C
cutomed haunts, she was relieved by
her failure to locate him. In all
probability he had either forgotten
the existence of the circus, or else
was serenely Indifferent to the call
of duty.
Resolved, however, to guard against
any possibility of his performing
she stationed herself in the dressing
tent at the entrance to the ring, and
as the time for his act drew near,
she breathed silent thanksgiving
for his absence.
Then, as she turned to go, she
caught her breath sharply at the
sight of Wilbur walking unsteadily
toward her. His face was unnatur-
ally flushed and his eyes were CLASSY.
She caught his hand desperately.
Wilbur" she pleaded, "come
away"
He brushed her roughly aside.
"Out of me way" he muttered thick
lily.
She caught him again at the en-
trance. Wilbur, dear old Wilbur"
she coaxed, don't go on tonight.
For my sake Wilbur
He laughed derisively. Lemme
me-" he replied savagely, and the

"They shan't do it." Nell cried
wildly as she struggled to her feet.
The physician, hearing her hys-
terical cry, crossed quickly to her
side.

demanded brusquely.

| peated monotonously. Gle shan't.

white bedstead with it's spotless COW

catch the flash of blue gown as it's

And at the end of the little hall pur-

With a cry she sprang towards
him and threw her arms about his
neck. For an instant her full lips
pressed his own, and then she shrank
back abashed.

suffused with bushes, "but you
were the first one, Ned, in all the
world to believe me, and I just could
not help it."

her to the elevator. Then he re-
turned to his office.

He grinned sheepishly. Honest

He watched her sulkily as she
drew the cork and poured the whisky
upon the ground.

declared vindictively, but there was
a quaver in her voice and her Lip
trembled obviously.
