CHAPTER xV. The Price

Slowly Maitland returned to the study and replaced the lamp upon his desk: and stood briefly in silence. long fingers strobing his well-shaped chin, his face a little thin and worn-look- ing a gleam of pain in his eyes. He sighed.
 So she was gone,
 He laughed trace harshly. This surprise was nothing more than he might have discounted, of course; he had been a fool to expect anything else of her, he was enjoying only his just deserts both for having dared to believe that the good in human na- ture particularly in womans nature) would respond to decent treatment and for having acted on that as.nine theory
 So she was gone, without word without sign!
 He sat down at the desk sidewise one arm extended along its edge, fin gers drumming out dreary little tune on the hard polished wood; and thought it all over from the begin hing Nor spared himself.
 Why. after all, should it be other wise? Why should she have stayed Why should he compliment himself by believing that there was aught about him visible through the veneer acquired in score and odd years Of purposeless existence, to attract a young and pretty woman's heart?
 He enumerated his qualities spe- officially; and condemned them all I'm primis, he was conceited ass. A fascinating young criminal had but to toss her head at him to make him think that she was pleased with him, to make him forget that she was what she was and believe that, because he was willing to stoop she was willing to climb. And he had betrayed him

 Art of Beuoino Jetfcrs

Nowhere is the ingenuity of the present age more apparent than in the begging letters received by rich men, said private secretary. q have been reading letters of that kind by the hundred for the last 15 years For merly all begging letters sounded alike So stereotyped were they that they might have been copied bodily from ready letter writer. Now the writers display originality They may want the same old thing that their predecessors wanted, but they ask for it in a different way People in need have acquired the art of expressing themselves in dramatic way That is to their advantage. It may be un- just. but usually the letter that hits a rich man hardest brings the most ia, vorable reply. The writer may not really need assistance nearly so badly as some timid suppliant who clings to trite phrases. but he gets the relief asked fer every time"

sports, critics suspect Taft of disliking Roose-
welt s policies, which is significant of nothing,
excepting the truth that his critics and Roose-
welt IS have acquired their information concern
ing the two gentlemen from studying the front
page cartoons. No doubt many people believe
Mr.. Roosevet's teeth are false, and wonder
why Mr.. Taft doesn't have his own pulled and
get some the size of horse s teeth.
Those editors of snug papers, who Judge
merely from Mr.. Taft's dispassonate words,
and fail to give their true significance to his
reservation of conservation, water ways and
antitrust laws for special messages; his atti-
tude on the statehood for New Mexico and
Arizona, the postal savings bank, the sugar
graft, law reform and injunction reform all of
which are contrary TO the doctrines of the reac-
tionaries, are preparing themselves for an eye
opener. Mr.. Taft IS quiet methods, his conser-
vatism, his deliberate disregard of popular
clamor until the time comes to act and all the
facts are ascertaned, his exact judicial poise,
his desire TO harmonic all elements and encour-
age them to do right in concert, deceive the UNI
thinking, just as much as Mr.. Roosevelt's ham
mer and tongs style did. The same critics de-
cared Roosevelt was all "fuss and feathers
and intended nothing.
No doubt npetuOus Mr. Roosevelt found the
deliberate, sure-footed Taft STAFF to lean on
in the eXigences, which confronted him in the
Introduction of new policies; and that had
much to do with Roosevelt's support of Taft
as his successor.
President Taft his just concluded a swing
around the circuit and if he is as gifted as was
President Mckinley, whom he resembles in
many ways, he interpreted what he heard
Alright. We confidently expect that popular
will TO be the transformed into legislative ac-
ton and executive precedent during his term.

A HEALTH TO US ALL.

Conservation of resources expansion of
trade, protection to home industries, and ma
tional respect cut little figure with man when
he's dead Therefor, our health is always a
paramount issue with us, whether we know it
or not.
''Iife, liberty and pursuit of happiness" in
the order named, are inherent, "inalienable
rights" of man for the protection of which
governments are instituted, according to the
Declaration of Independence. Every industry
and every department of life, including that of
f. liberty and pursuit of happiness are repre-
sented in the presidents cabinet Now, Presi-
dent Taft suggests national medical depart
ment We have learned at last that
science endorses the axiom "An ounce of pre-
verition is worth pound of cure" Prevention
is the slogan of the medical profession today.
Quarantine publication of the air, slaughter of
germ bearing insects, destruction of germ pro
ducing matter, the dissemination of knowledge
concerning the nature of diseases and their pre-
vention, the study of conditions by the most
approved scientific methods-these are some of
tile means of relieving humanity of its ogres
The virility and happiness of posterity de
spend on the eradication Of diseases and the eff
feetsaof disease among all the people, and the
improvement of health conditions in all sec
tons. We are all equally interested in the con-
ditiofl of all. We cannot afford to permit one
careless and backward section to jeopardize the
health of all the rest of us or of the future gen
ersations.
There are many ways national health de
paftment with its advantages in the way of a
well equipped laboratory and the dignity of the
Office which would insure its access to the CO.
operation of the best minds of the age, could
promote the physical welfare of the nation.
