+Good night. dear. and be sure you have a good evening. Later on we may have to work in the evenings. But you mustn't think of marriage just yet. And when you do. you mustn't leave me. You must bring him round some day-perhaps can keep you both with me. don't want to lose you
 The girls eyes glittered, and. though she did not speak, the look on her face was eloquent of gratitude. Then she left the room. and softly closed the door behind her.
 Five years had left their mark on the face and character of Lady Betty Drake. She was no longer young when Sir Richard left England. but healthy open-air life had given her all the glow and strength of youth. Now she was white-faced and distinctly mid- die-aged. For five years she had spared neither body nor brain in her work among the poor of London.
 Down in one of the worst quarters of the East End she built a home of refuge for the lowest and most miser- able of her own sex. and there she started work that was destined to place her name among the list of those women who have left their mark on the world.
 Lady Betty only allowed herself a Few HecOndS or TeVefte aIteF tue uepdF . fure of Alice Carter. The episode of the two sweethearts had for the mo- ment disturbed her mental balance. But she soon regained her business-like c comepsure. and rising from her seat. took letter-file from the shelf Then she drew out piece of pale blue hand made paper. and opened the letter out on the desk before her. She read 1t through carefully again and again. It ran as follows:
 Dear Madam--Failing the discovery of a certain person within the next two months we shall have large sum of money at our disposal to devote to the cause which you have so much at heart. We have been debating whether to use it in a fresh venture on similar lines to the one which you have started or whether to apply it Co the enlarge ment of scheme which is already a working concern, and which has an or

But to come to the point. Lady Betty. I think we expressed our views in the letter. Now. what do you say to our proposal?"
 The money would be very useful" Lady Betty replied My own money Is tied up, and can only use the income. There is so much work to be done. It frlghtens me to think of 1t. This home. as perhaps you know. Is only a centre. We have others in the coun- try--even abroad in the colonies. Even- tually they will become self-support- ing. At least, that is what hope. But at present they require money. There is room for ten times as many.

Republican Convention Trouble.

From present appearances til e
present Republican National Con-
vention will have a good deal to
say about who shall be nominated
for President. 1t will be their duty
to pass uDol the numerous contests
and make up the temporary roll
OF the convention and select the
temporary officers. Of course.
however, the convention itself can
override the report OF the com :
mitee, and there is not much
doubt it will do so. if the majority
do not agree with the committees
findings. Democrats can afford to
view the tight between he Repub-
lican factions from afar and trust
that they may agree to disagree.

Political Promises.

Serene Payne, the Republican
floor leader of the House of Re.
representatives., assures en- anxious
country that there will be a tariff
revision plank in the next Repub-
lican National platform. That's
alright, a far as it goes. but who
will assure US that a bill! to revise
the tariff will be passed. Political
promises are often like pie crust
made to he broken.

Presidential CoerslOn.

Senator Foraker turned the
tables on President Roosevelt by
reading to the United States
Senate the correspondence between
Mr.. Bryson. postmaster OF Athens
Ohio, and Congressman Douglas.
which conclusively shows that the
President tried to coerce the
postmaster before he appointed
him to throw Senator Foraker

National Convention And Senator
Foraker declared that is only
one Of a hundred cases in the
State of Ohio-a hundred cases is
no exaggeration." We await Pre-
sldent Roosevelt's explanation of
this matter with much interest,
especially Mr.. Bryson declares that
he will continue to oppose the
nomination of Taft, who he be
leiveswill be defeated. if uomi-
