The woman at the bar extended a
clinched hand as she added with bit
ter vehemence:
"They telled me, an | could prove

n memory of Miss Pelly, and with the
horrible outrage AMI crime committed
aaginst her pure innocent soul still
appermost in orr thoughts, to speak
forth boldly for decency, honor and
virtue.
Personally, | had not the pleasure
of Miss Pelly's acquaintance and shall

vain pride of life.
There is commendable use OF
.power with its awful responsibility:
the selfish love OF power is the curse
of our lives. Money symbolizes power
in our day and age. It's possession is
