Judson Harmon, Attorney General in
President Cleveland's cabinet, elected
Governor of Ohio, attacked Capitalization
of government powers in his inaugural ad-
dress. Government has become much
more complex and difficult than it was
when population was less Dense" he said.
I'VE must make the State government
more broadly useful. Its powers are am
pie and undoubted. Why let the general
government assume to regulate State cor
porations because they engage in inter-
state commerce? If Congress gets gen
eral jurisdiction over us if we engage in
commerce outside the State, we may as
well turn over the capitol to a federal
commission and go home" The message
of retiring Governor Harris was very

Gov Garst urged more effective regulation
of the liquor traffic, "There is no doubt.
he says, that the trend of the times is
in the direction of the thorough control
and reasonable restriction of the traffic in

that you memorabilia Congress for a
change in the revised statutes so that it
would be definitely provided that the in
itiative for issuing a federal license for
the sale of intoxicating liquors would be
with the local community directly inter
ested. The federal government should
not legalize the liquor traffic in places
where the people do not want. it to be
legalized or tolerated" Gov Carroll in
his inaugural address made a plea for a
simplified ballot, conservation of the
States natural resources, and enforce
ment of present laws.

a sound AS if to give me time to COL

Last night, Miss Ferrers, your
grandfather promised to send for you
when he should want you. He has now
sent-do not keep him waiting"
By a prodigious effort recovered my
voice.
"Oh, do you know what has happened
here at Wolfsden, Mr.. Heron?"
His countenance changed.
Yes; Jael brought me the news, just
as l was starting out to fetch you"
"Jael?"

my hands upon him for a moment!"

Sir Griffin should believe me guilty.

He interrupted again:
Hush, hush! 1t kills me to see you
like this! We cannot talk of the mat
ter now; other things of even greater
Importance are pressing upon you. IL
is plain that you were making ready to
leave Wolfsden when Jael called you"

whittier you meant to go?'

His hand closed on mine convulsive-

we have no time to waste here. Judge
Ferrers cannot live till sunset
l heard the announcement without
emotion-it seemed of no moment to
me.
Heron snatched up his hat and drew
me out into the hall. At the same in
slant a woman appeared at the stair
case, and from that height looked down
upon us both.
Farewell, Miss Ferrers." she called,
with a laugh of unspeakable malice and
mockery. Farewell. wish you a good
Journey"
l lifted my eyes, and saw the specta-
cles, the gray puffs, the housekeepers
keys. Perhaps she had not meant to
show her hand so soon, but being wo-
man, she could not let me depart from
Wolfsden without one little outburst of
triumph.

she would probably arrest and i'm

AS I sat staring blankly at the sick
ening sunshine on the floor, / heard
wheels whirl down the drive, under the
chestnut trees, and so rattling off
through the gate. The swiftness Of the
vehicle suggested f1ight-confusion. A
moment after, rap echoed on my door
Miss Ferrers," called the voice Of
Jael, "here is a letter for you," and a
white object was thrust into the room
"Oh, miss, can do you any service?
NO." / answered; "go away
After a space / arose from the side
of the bed and picked up the letter.
1t contained these lines:

his own person, but in yours--when
they appear as your heritage-never!
You have dishonored my love, and kill

the others-I had lost my lover!
knew at once that he had fled in hot
haste from Wolfsden. At last my apa-
thy was broken. With a stif1ed shrek
1 dropped the cruel letter. 1t was false
i was not a thief! In all my life I had
never taken a pins worth from any
body-I did not inherit my fathers
wickedness! Why was l sitting pas
sive under a roof where such caiumny
was cast at me? 1 tore Sir Griftin's
ring from my hand and flung 1t into the
farthest corner of the room. Then l
ran to my wardrobe, seized handbag,
and began to fill it With know not
what. Whittier should / fly? to whom
turn in my desperate need? With this
black disgrace overshadowing me, I
had absolutely no refuge left upon
earth. Nevertheless, continued to
make ready for immediate departure.
1 was just throwing on my outer gar
ments, when another knock sounded at
the door. Again heard the voice Of
Jael:
"Come down at once to the drawing
room, Miss Ferrers-a friend is wait
ing to see you there"
II have no friends" l answered; but
I stepped mechanically out into the
corridor, stumbling against the girl,
who was watching me with stern,
strange eyes.
Great Heavens!" she cried, trying
to clutch my dress, ''you look as If you
had received your death-blow, miss!
Bear up! There's help at hand
But 1 broke from her, and rushed
down to the drawing room.
AS I entered, l saw that my visitor
waS a gentleman, and that he was
standing at the far end Of the apart
ment, with his back toward me.
At sound of my coming he turned
sharply, and advanced to meet me with
a quick, decisive step.
1t was Francis Heron.
