Don't you think it might be rather

Mrs. Siddons decisiyely.

and Mrs. Brownlow are always talking
about the cook-and the rector talks
about his cook, too-not always very
kindly, though"
mo, it's shame, and I don't believe
It'll happen"
Yes, it will. Mrs. Brownlow settled

"There are other people in the world
besides Mrs. Brownlow."
Sophy was not exactly surprised at
this dictum, but evidently 1t gave her
thought. Her long delayed "Yes"
showed that us plainly us her "Oh" had

head back on the grass, closing her
eyes. A smile Of radiant anticipation
lowered about her lips. The little girl
rose and stood looking at her friend
the friend of whom she was SO proud.

said, with sober gravity.
Julia's smile broadened, but her lips
remained shut. Sophy looked ut her
for moment longer, and, without for
NAL farewell, resumed her progress
down the avenue. It was hard on tea
time, and Mrs. James was stickler
for punctuality.
Yet Sophy's march was interrupted
once more. A tall young man sat
swinging his legs on the gate that led
from the avenue into the road. The
sturdy boy who had run home in ter
ror on the night Enoch Crouch died
had grown into tall, good looking
| young fellow. He was clad in what is
nowadays called blazer and check
trousers and smoked a large nicer
schaum pipe. His expression was

was on the top of it. Sophy approach

OPHY CROUCH had gone to lay

Brownlow had taught her this
pious rite, and Mrs. Brownlow's dep
uty, the gardeners wife, In whose cot
tage Sophy lived, had seen to its pune

went by law and rule at the hall, for
the squire was man of active mind
and ample leisure. His household code
was q marvel of intricacy and minute

years practice. Within, her mind was

her life. She had been told her des-
tined future and was wondering how
she would like 1t.
Her approach was perceived by tall
and pretty girl who lay in the meadow

bordered the path under the elm trees.

The Liberal Defeat.

The thoroughly expected hap
pened in the election in the Peck
ham constituency of London yes
terday, but happened harder than
anybody had dreamed. The liberal
majority Of less than two years ago
was turned into a uniOnist major
ity. The contest had been made a
test between the two great parties,
and such a campaign has not been
known in many years. It is de-
clared that the political workers for
weeks have been more numerous
than the residents of the district,
which is an industrial and very
populous one.
The victory is first a gain for the
tariff policy Of the conservatives, It
indicates that in the industrial re-
gions. at least. the Chamberlain
idea is once more gathering force,
and that before long the present
liberal government may very posi-
bly, be turned out and succeeded by
an administration holding a man
date to give Britain a moderate pro-
tective tariff.
Still more than this, the poll
means that the detection of the
labor unionists and socialists from
the liberal coalescence has cost that
party dear. Il means that socialism
is presently TO make its own the
real party of advanced ideas. APP
parently, the old liberal party So
called is destined TO be absorbed
into the conservatives, and the
sociahsts-laborites, the more radical
wing going to the conservatives, the
less radical to the socialists. No
body who has watched political
progress in Britain in recent years
doubts that there, far in advance of
any other Western nation. the great
contest between socialism and indi-
vidualism for political supremacy

a Park for $4,000.

The Northeast holds about a sixth
of our people. On its south boun.
dairy is Lincoln Park, inadequate to
the use of half the residents OF
either Northeast or Southeast. A
little north of that line is Stanton
square, possibly sufficient for the
square mile of which it is the cen
ter. Otherwise more persons than
there are in the whole city Of Salt
Lake, or Duluth, or Norfolk, are
wholly without parks.
This is the situation which the
Senate met yesterday by passing a
bill to purchase twenty-five acres at
the old tongate, at Fifteenth and
Il streets northeast. The outlay re-
quired is MT large-less than $780,
600. The Commissioners are given
full discretion to decline to pur-
chase the ground if in their judg-
ment the price asked should be too
high. And the new park thus ere
ated would be within the easy ac-
cess of all the people of this terri
tory.
In the past year the city has
grown all around this site. In an
other year it viii grow far beyond
it. In another year more il will
probably have swallowed it up.
But, in any event, the ground can
never be bought cheaper than today,
and with practical certainty it can
never again be bought so cheap. For
the sake of $4,000 persons in the
Northeast, therefore, and for the
$4,000 who may easily enough be
found there in five years, The Times
hopes the House viii follow the
lead of the Senate and pass this bill
at this session.
