 Come. Paul. keep your pretty speeches for young ladies: never mind the old onesw
 There are no old ladies now. do not know one--only elderly angels"
 As he was talking to her, he was com tinually raising his hat to various staring friends. who looked not a iit- tie surprised to see the gay Marquis so evidently at home in Mrs, Tudor's equipage. What had become of the red Mercedes motor? Was this bril- liant butterfly about to settle at last?
 As the little world of Biarritz flock ed into the confectioner's. they beheld the Marquis de Sarazin presiding at a table in the window. administering chocolate and the celebrated "suches' cakes to the two ladies. Paul was playing the host: was he also playing the lover? The young lady was tres comme il faut and rich. Was Paul. the scatterbrained. about to rang ar'' himself? To behold him seated at Miramont's. between a demolselle and her chaperon. almost amounted to a public announcement. It looked as If old Mrs. Tudor had caught" he Sarazin for her protegee-an in- credible achievement. Some of his men friendsd sought Paufs eye an smiled. Some of his lady friends also sought his glance; but these did not smile They stared very hard at Miss Forde. and mentally decided that she was distinguee. but not handsome and that red-haired people were dell- cate and ill-tempereJ
 But. for her part. Miss Forde was so sgitated that she could not eat And when tea was concluded and they had bidden their host farewell. she went away alone to her favorite seat on the Falaise. Here she rested in an atmosphere of rapturous calm. Hester was one Of those who must ai- ways be out of doors. when they are deeply moved: and for once. she was tasting the very salt of existence as she suffered her thoughts to review this supreme afternoon. and eagerly recalled each word that Paul had ad- dressed to her-his looks she dared not dwell on. As she sat with her gaze fixed on the Spanish coast. and a knot of the Spanish colors in her lap, the expression on her face was the aftergIow of a great happiness.

A Dangerous Trust.

good many thousand dollars to SUD- port a Union Printers .4ome in Colo raoo: 1t has also spent over a million dollars in defending criminal members brought before the courts and 1t has at times tied up industries and squeezed extra money out of the public, but it can never permanently raise wages beyond what the industry can stand. In fact, the highest s,Ile of wages fs paid in factories independent of the Labor Trust It is universally admitted that the individual q, -llty of the work ing members of the unions has de- clined and it persistently enueavors to keep our youth from learning trades except in the restricted number set by the trust and entirely under it's con. trol.
 It's warfare and criminal record is something fearful to contemplate.
 The homes of Workmen burned or blown up and other property destroyed has run into millions of dollars whf,e the citizens who have been beaten maimed or murdered aggregate in the ands.
 There were over 5000 men assault ed or murdered in one strike, (the teamsters), in Chicago few years ago All Of this violence has been done to establish the fact that if the common man. asserts his right to freedom and declines to bow down to the orders of the Labor Trust, he must be punished and forced into submission.
 It has cost the common citizens mil lions of dollars to support police and soldiers to preserve property and pro- tect themselves from the attacks of this trust.

 Just so sure as tools of the Labor irust tor any other trust) are elected 10 public office. just so sure the com mon man will suffer. That applies even oown to petty officers.

 Probably no more glarfnR falsab,od ana 1mpudent appeal for symnathv was ever sent broadcast than the late assertion by the leader of inc Laoor Trust when he announced that the American Federation of Labor was one or the strongest clements known Tor the preservation of peace.
 Their violent methods are so well known and established that wben- ever the trust orders a strike, the nuh- llc authorities immediately set abont 10 provide some sort or protection for the citizens and then property. single clipping from a late paper iIlus- trates the feeling.

 It's question of protection against trust growth now.

Also what articles shall na bought. What cars used. What stoves hats clothing and even the hearse used to bury the dead.
 The foundation of our free Re- public is based on the principle that every man must be. equal before the law and every man protected under the l-W."

 Paul de sarazin instantly tossed his hat in the court: and 1t was all Hester could do not to fling hers aft CT it.
 The public now poured down into the arena, wildly cheering. Paul ie Sarazin was beside himself with triumph: his Spanish blood was afre. outwardly he was composed but his eyes were sparkling. Moved by the spell of Hester's responsiveness he said

Next Move

Discovering that the people object to being attacked and having their property destroyed. the Labor Trust members conclude their next step should be to elect members of the Leg islatures and Congress who will change old laws and make new ones, so that the Labor Trust may safely carry on the work and not be punished Hence the demand that they be exempt from the trust laws and that the hands of our courts be tied so no injunction can be issued to prevent them from picketing. boycotting. s4ugsing or flowing up property.
 We were treated co good illus tration of how trusts work together when some chiefs of the Steel Trust Joined the chiefs of the Labor Trusts at the Republican Convention in Chi cago and agreed among themselves that the Steel trust would work for the Anti-intunction-t tie the hands of-the-courts platform demanded by the Labor Trust If m turn the Labor members would work for a repeal of the Sherman antitrust law demanded by the Steel trust. Both working to be free of laws which were obstacles to their further control of the people, and what would be the condition of the common man If the National Citizens Industrial Association and it's allies headed by James A. Emery had not fought them to a finish and insisted that these trust blanks should not be included In the Republican platform?
 We have an Association now made up of citizens through which the rights of the common man can be as- serted and defended to an extent, at least.
 Thus by organization. the trust or ganizatlons can be met and checked.
 The common citizens who read the papers vote and attend to the af- fairs of life are far and away in the majority over the members of any trust. labor or capital. and when they understand the hidden attacks made on their liberties they act and win.

 Lord Rosslyn claimed that by his system of playing 1t was possible to win at roulette against the Monte Carlo bank. Sir Hiram said this was impossible and in order to settle the matter. the two men began playing roulette in a PecadiIly club ten days ago, Sir Hiram conducting the game in the same way 1t is played at Monte Carlo. Lord Rosslyn started to play with s50.00o in dummy" money and the bank had an equal amount
 Lord Rosslyn's system has been proved to be utterly fallacious At one period of the contest he was ahout $160o0 to the good. but for the past three days the bank has been a steady winner and his lordship's capital in dummy" money became exhausted this afternoon.

The onIV trust having the tmpud- ence to openly assert that it Is go- ing to elect its own trust representa- lives to public offices is the Labor Trust:
 The election therefore will deter mine whether the Common Citi- zens retain control of public affairs. or allow the Labor Trust magnates to govern.
 The common man loses his liberty when he and his fellow citizens allow any organization or trust to get con- trol. for each trust whether of labor or capital is in business to gather ev- cry dollar possible and divide up among the members df the managers leave anvl.
 And where do they gather all this extra money?
 The Meat, Steel. oil. and other Cap ital trusts raise the price of their products.
 The Labor Trust does the same plumber, meat-chopper. ironworker. shoemaker. baker. etc. etc. and by fining them for breaking rules and also lining employers.
 The particular shoemakers. bakers, etc. etc. who happen to be members ol the Labor Trust may not get much ex- ira money out of it but the Trust Man
 
 Now to get back to the question. where does all this money come from. this extra money both labor ana capital trusts are striving for. There is only one place for them to got 1t. my friends. and that Is from the pocket of the common citizen not 3 member of any trust. He is the long sufferinE workman who pays to add extra dollars to the earnings of both Labor and Capital Trusts
 We all admit that both trusts are right enough in trying to earn all they can. but the citizens they are feeding on. absolutely must keep awake and protect themseIves at the polls and be fore the courts or the trust members get latter and the common citizen thinner. The non-trust citizens arc heavily in the majority and protect themselves easily when reused, but they often allow designing men to manipulate politicians and laws until the common people are helpless
 Why do you speak of the Labor Trust?' someone asks.
 It has been clearly defined as a trust in the fullest sense of the word by the best lawyers in American lnclud- ing Clarence Darrow the Attorney for the American Federation of Labor and by the United States Supreme Court itself.
 You see all trusts are formed to &C., complish certain things.
 Control production. Control prices
 Control members of the trust.
 Get the highest price the public will stand.
 The Meat trust controls and sells meat. the Labor Trust controls and sells labor. both feed off the public. and 1t is perfectly safe to assume that the managers of either or any trust will soak" the citizens for every dollar they can get. only limited by tn"
