FAIR FOE OF DIVORCE.
Beloit. Pastors Wife Takes Field
h. Against Growing EVIL.

Beloit, Kan, Nov. 13.-Kansas' di-
vorce record has stirred the reform
spirit of the young wife of Beloit
pastor to the pitch where she has de-
cided that it is her duty to get out
and reform the world. She is Mrs.
Louise Morse Dodge. wife of the Rev.
w. ]. Dodge, pastor of the Christian
church of this place.
1t was Mrs. Dodge's purpose to
strike at the seat of war;" and at
present she is engaged in delivering
series of lectures on the subject of
Getting Married-and Staying Mar

and divorce because this divorce bust
ness has reached astounding proper

was particularly moved by the report
that in Kansas in the last year the
number of divorces equaled half the
number of marriages.
II don't expect to do much reform
ing, but it seems to me this matter
should be agitated until some sort of
legal restriction is exercised. We criti-
else the Mormons' laws, but it is pref
ty we'll said that, under the present
divorce laws while the Mormon drives
his wives abreast, the Gentle drives

In the promotion of domestic tram
quillity, Mrs. Dodge lays stress on the
practical side of married life, viz,
housekee ping and cooking. Brides
should know how to cook before they
assume the responsibilities of married
life, and on the other hand. the groom
should be level headed enough not to
delineate on "how mother used to
cook" should she make failure.

my husband and I get along. Whsn-

So had the town, for the body had
been found on his ground. But on the
night when the real murderer came
again to the cabin perhaps 1t was his
coming that had brought back the lost
memory. Hugh had known the truth.
In the light Of this supposition, his
strained manner then, his present de-
termination not to speak, all stood
plain.
What had he meant by debt Of his
past that he had never paid? He could
owe no debt to Harry Sanderson. II

smirched by the odium Of its rector,
the apple Of his eye?
Jessica had snatched at q straw, be-
cause 1t was the only buoyant thing
afloat in the dragging tide. Now with
a blind fatuousness she hugged it
tighter to her bosom. One purpose
possessed her-to confront Harry San
derson. What matter though she
missed the remainder Of the trial?
She could do nothing. Her hands were
tied. II the truth lay at Aniston she
would find it. She thought no farther
than this. Once In Harry Sanderson's
presence. what she should say or do
she scarcely imagined. The horrify-
ing question filed her thought to the
exclusion of all that must follow its
answer. 1t was surety and self con-

eyes the truth about the murder of

She suddenly began to tremble.
Would the doctors let her see him?
What excuse could she give? If he

speak, had known she was there. He

Hugh was in jeopardy for his crime.

would surely tell the truth. But IL he
died before she could reach him? The
paper was some days old. He might
be dead already. She took heart, how
ever. from the statement Of his i'm.

She sprang to her feet and looked at
her chatelaine watch The eastbound

time to lose. Minutes might count.
She examined her purse. She had

Five minutes later she was at the

worst of crimes. Could Jessica's COM

over his tablets.
AS a result his answering message
flashed along the wires to Jessica's
faraway train:

And thus the fateful moment ap-
preached when the great appeal should
be made.
The evidence Of the first days trial
Of the case Of the people against Hugh
Stires was the all engrossing topic
that night in Smoky Mountain. Bar
ney McGinn perhaps aptly expressed
the consensus of opinion when he said,
Il allow we all know he's guilty, but
nobody believes it."
Late as Smoky Mountain sat up that
night, however, 1t was on hand next
morning, rank and file. when the court
convened.
All the previous evening, save for a
short visit to the cell Of his client,
Fielder had remained shut in his Office,
thinking of the morrow. In his talk
with Harry he had not concealed his
deep anxiety. but to his questions there
was no new answer, and he had re-
turned from the Interview more nom
plused than ever. He had wondered
that Jessica on this last night did not
come to his Office, but had been rather
relieved than otherwise that she did
not. He had gone to bed heavy with
encouragement and had walked In the
morning with foreboding.
As he turned from greeting his eli
ent in the packed courtroom Fielder
noted with surprise that Jessica was
not in her place: not that he needed her
further testimony, for he had drawn
from her the day before all he intended
to utilize, but her absence disturbed
him, and fnstinctively he turned and
looked across the sea Of faces toward
the door.
Harry's glance followed his, and a
deeper pain beleaguered it as his eyes
returned to the empty chair. He saw
Mrs. Halloran whisper eagerly with
the lawyer, who turned away. with a
puzzled look. In his bitterness the
thought came to him that the testi-
mony had sapped her conviction of his

Hugh had sunk into unconsciousness
with the awe struck exclamation ring

conscious knowledge with the same
words racing in his brain. They i'm
piled that 80 far az capture went the
