For The Public Good.

An independent and ably edit
ed newspaper which commands a
great circulation is probably the
most potent influence for good in
the United States today. The pow
er for the better things in public
affairs and policies, for instance,
which is welded by such a news
paper as The Chicago Record-Her
aid can scarcely be exaggerated,
and much of that strength comes
in the case of this leading Chica-
60 daily from the fact that it is
absolutely independent, fearless
and fair. 1t is not the mouthpiece
of any interest except that OF the
public. The RECORD-HERALD
champions the cause Of the good,
the clean, the beneficial in every
matter of city, state or national
movement. It is the knowledge
the part Of its readers that 1t
cares not who it hits or what en-
emies it makes, so long as it is
battling for the welfare Of the
community, which gives to the
RECORD-HERALD much to the
influence it enjoys. 1t gives in
its news columns the most COM.
plete and impartial reports OF po
htical events, another evidence Of
its splendid news service.

Ny Lady Romance has many

swear strange oaths. But some
times we encounter in the pages
of a novel a genuine knight in

who speaks the language of u

Broadway or State street. Such
is Philip Kirkwood, artist
painter, whose adventures in pur-

Kirkwood wears a boys honest face.
No one has ever called him handsome.
A few prejudiced persons have decided
that he has an interesting counte-

Kirkwood himself has been heard to
declare that his features do not fit. In

there is a very real, if undefinable,

Kirkwood. At all events. this Calen-

meet with slight accidents and injuries
which cause them annoyance and loss

in about one-third the time usually
required by applying Chamberlain's
Liniment as soon as the injury is receiv-

when Chamberlain's Liniment is applied

assorted oddly. But his hands were
old, delicate, fine and fragile, and the
lips beneath the dropping white mus
tache at times trembled, almost i'm
~perceptlbly, with the generous senti-
nents that come with mellow age. He
held his back straight and his head
with an a1r-an air that was not a
sWagger, but the sign token of sea-
soned experience in the world. The
most carping could have found no
flaw in the quiet taste of his attire.

friend, and his only one then in Lon

The cloud lifted. "That is the spir-
it," declared the elder man. "For the
moment I did you the injustice to be-
lieve that you were running away.
But nov I understand. Forgive me.
Pardon, too, the stupidity which 1
must lay at the door of my advancing
years. To me the thought Of you as a
Partisan fixture has become such a
commonplace, Philip, that the news of
the disaster hardly stirred me. Now
1 remember that you are a Califor-

firmed Kirkwood, q bit sadly. "My

"And your fortune"
II inherited my fathers interest in
the firm Of Kirkwood & Vanderlip.
When I came over to study painting I
left everything in Vanderlip's hands.
The business afforded me a handsome
living"
"You have heard from Mr.. Wander

"Fifteen minutes ago" Kirkwood
took a c%ablegram, still damp, from his
pocket and handed it to his guest.
Unfolding it the latter read:
Kirkwood, Pless, London:
