The Democratic party recognizes the importance

That is to say, the Democratic party ap-

policy and repudiates it's own opposition thereto

administration that the merit system was
adopted.

CHAPTER XVI, (continued:
For few moments, indeed, John
Ehirs thoughts were plainly written
on his face. His first impulse was to
spring forward and snatch the tele-
gram from her hand. His second to
ask for it, to plead for it, and give
the lie 20 his own words. But he re-
strained himself and kept silence.
Ieonore had been a good friend to
him and he did not wish to lose her
friendship He saw the possibility OF
obtaining the information he desired
without asking for it, He was silent,
and then, realizing that even his 81
lence was eloquent, he spoke.
.sYou are quite right" he said in a
voice that was almost unnaturally
calm. 'Please forgive me for suggest
ing that you kept this information
from me. am sure you did nothing OF
the kind. But even if you had done so
you would have been quite right. 1t
would have only been done from the
best and kindest of motives. / do not
wish to know Laura's address. But l
should like to know If she is we'll and
happy"
Leonore was silent, but she still
kept her eyes on the mans face. 1t
would be easy enough to tell John
Shil that Laura was beth well and
happy. and there the matter would
have come to an end. But Leonore's
desire to do the right thing, and to
act for the happiness of her two
friends, had already given way to
more selfish motives. For the first
time in her life she was jealous Of an
other woman, and her jealousy stung
her to madness. She resolved to find
out once for all whether this man
still loved Laura Vane.
"Is she we'll and happy?' John Shil
repeated in a voice that he meant to
express merely polite interest in a
friends welfare.
she is neither we'll nor happy. She is
in great trouble and wishes to see me
at once"
.'In great trouble?" he said me-
chemically. Laura in great trouble?"
He paused, and then, as though ami
hilated by a swift and stupendous
blow, his self-control was shattered.
the mask on his face was broken, and
his naked soul stood out with nothing
to conceal it from the woman who
faced him.
"By God," he cried, ''if he has made
her suffer, If he has ill-treated her, if
he has harmed hair of her head"
and then he stopped, shamed for a
moment into silence by the piteous
look in Leonore's eyes, But the man
was unable to regain control of his
feelings. His brain was in a fiery tu-
multi, and his whole body quivered
with passion. He had cast prudence to
the winds of heaven. He could think
of nothing but Laura, in pain, In sor-
row, in sickness All else had faded
from his mind.
'Tf he has wronged her." he cried
passionately, II will kill him. Give me

President to publish his African ad-

true that no living author has had

BIG S. S. CONFERENCE.
Representatives of All Phases of the
Work Meet in Boston.

Boston, Jan. 2.-Men representing
all phases of Sunday school work in
North America are in Boston today to
attend a conference called by w. n.
Hartshorn, chairman of the execu-
Sunday School association. The
executive committee, the uniform les
son committee, the Sunday School
Editorial association and the denomi-
national publishing concerns of the
country were represented in the as
sembly of the leaders, who are
authorized to speak for nearly all the
denominations of the Christian
churches, representing some 1 4 mil
lion members. Topic for discussion is
"How Can We Improve the Lesson
System?''
The international lesson committee
prompted by action taken at the last
triennial convention at Rome in the
spring of 1907, has had under con-
sideration the question of changing
the system to meet advancing condi-
tions and there has been much discus
sion of plans by members of the edi-
toria1 association and the publishers
of the lessons of the various denomi-
nations.
While various confences have been
held by the several branches of the
international association this is the
first time in the history of the organ
ization, which was founded in 1875,
that the four great branches of the
work have been represented at such a
meeting.
