stars above glowed in the beauty
of her eyes. In his own face she
saw that which he had not dared
to speak, and from her lips there
came soft little sobbing cry.

ing her face so that she could not
look away from him. Forgive
me for-for-doing this" And
before she could move he caught
her for a moment close in his
arms, holding her so that he felt
the quick beating of her heart
against his own, the sweep of her
hair and breath in his face. "This
is why will not go back" he cried
softly. cit is because. / love you
love you"
He caught himself, choking
back the words, and as she drew
away from him her eyes shone
with a glory that made him half
reach out his arms to her.
You will forgive mel" he
begged. 81 do not mean to do
wrong. Only, you must know why
I shall not go back into the
South"
From her distance she saw his
arms stretched like shadows to-
ward her. Her voice was low, so
low that he could hardly hear the
words she spoke, but its sweet
ness thrilled him.
IF you love me you will do this
thing for me. You will go tomor-,
row."
"And your,
T?" He heard the tremulous
culver in her voice. very soon
you will forget that you have
ever-seen--me."
From down the path there came
the osund of low voices. Excited
ly the girl ran to Rowland,
thrusting him back with her
hands. = -
Go! Go!" she cried tensely.
Hurry back to the cabin! Lock
your door-and don't come out
again tonight! Oh, please, if you
love me, please, go"
The voices were approaching.
Rowland fancied that he could
distinguish dark shadows between
the thinned walls of the forest. He
laughed softly.
81 am not going to run, little
girl" he whispered. Seer" He
drew his revolver so that it gleam-
ed in the light of the stars.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Oct. 15.-
John F. Breckenridge, blacksmith
and cowboy. wants the seat of
United States Senator Warner,
who voted against Aldrich one
time and with him III times.
Breckenridge has seen the
world. AS a principal rough rider
with Pawnee Bits show, he
toured Europe. At the st. Louis
Exposition he was starred by Buff
falo Bill; at Jamestown, by a
ranch show. Touring the Latin
American republics, he fought a
score of bull fights ''as a novelty"
When he announced himself as
a candidate for the democratic
nomination to the United States
senate the big packing company
here which employed him told him
they didn't need him any more.
But he got another job.
Breckenridge has written per-
sonal letters to more than 10000
democrats of Missouri, to candi-
dates and labor union officials.
Many take his candidacy as joke,
but he has received numerous
pledges of support.
He advocates the control of cor
porations and railroads by allow
ing them to exist only by gov
eminent concession" and to pay
dividends only on the amount OF
property on which they pay taxes.
Former Gov. David r. Francis
of st. Louis and Jas. A. Reed OF
Kansas City are Breckenridge's
opponents.

did not occur to him in these mo-
ments that he had known this
girl for only a few hours, that
until tonight he had heard no
word pass from her lips. He was
conscious only that in the space
of those few hours something had
come into his life which he had
never known before; and a deep
longing to tell her this, to take
her sweet face between his hands,
as they stood in the gloom of the
forest, and to confess to her that
she had become more to him than
passing vision in a strange will
derness filled him. That night he
had forgotten half of the strenu-
Gus lesson he had striven years to
master; success, ambition, the
mere joy of achievement, were for
the first time sunk under a great
er thing for him-the pulsating
human presence of this girl; and
as he looked down into her face,
pleading with him still in its
white, silent terror, he forgot, too,
what this woman was or might
have been, knowing only that to
him she had opened a new and
glorious world filled with a prom
Use that stirred his blood like
sharp wine. He crushed her hands
once more to his breast as he had
done on the Great North Trail,
holding her SO close that he could
feel the throbbing of her bosom
against him. He spoke no word
and still her eyes pleaded with
him to go. Suddenly he freed one
of his hands and brushed back the
thick hair from her brow and
turned her face gently, until what
dim light came down from the

CHIvALRy STORIES

Chivalry Editor: Recall to your
sense of imagination this scene:
A cheap, low dive variety of a
dance hall. On the floor, supple,
graceful forms sway and waltz to
the time of tuneful melodies.
There you see the Nemesis flashing
about in pale lavender: the siren,
bold and dissolute, and the usual
crowd of men habitues.
1t is the fifth dance. The music
has ceased and laughing couples
begin to drift for the bar. One OF
these couples become disengaged
from the rest. The girl is a mite
of a thing; dainty of form, ex-
tremely beautiful, big brown eyes
and a mass of tangled auburn hair.
The man who holds her arm is
of class known by his dress-a
mechanic; The man, strange to
say, does not know why he is
there, while the girl awaits with
expectation for the closing hour,
when she can redeem her percent
iage beer checks for cash.
hTe sixth dance commences, but
the man hesitates about going on
the floor. Instead, he hastily
jerks the girl to one side.
Say, kid" he whispers, lets
not go on. / want to talk to you
como over here"
Together they disappear behind
the draperies of an adjoining
booth. And then Boob of Gossip
had to listen.
'Ill tell you, kid" said the
young man, continuing in the YER
nacular talk of the street, you re
too good to he caught around here

IN THE EDITORS MAIL

Editor Times: have failed to
see much in The Times lately re-
garding the bridge bond issue.
To "a man up tree it looks
like a scheme to force all working
men employed on the tideflats to
go through the business part OF
town in order to reach their homes
ma matter where they live.
The available residence property
along the existing car lines is
pretty we'll taken up, so that the
only thing a laboring man, who
wants to own his own home, can
do now is to go out to Falkland,
Spanaway or Steilacoom, and as
soon as he gets there you may be
sure he will ask for scent fare.
One compromise will not be eff
fected until another fight starts.
Now, instead of forcing the
working people farther out on the
long lines, why not extend the Nc
Kinley park line south to Bis
marck and north on ID street past
the Great Northern freight depot,
crossing on the proposed new
Eleventh street bridge? Do the
same thing with the p street line
and thus relieve the congested con-
dition of Pacific avenue. Allow
the city to grow compactly, so that
we may have more pavements,
sewers and other improvements in
stead of building a String town
from Puyallup to Steilacoom with
out any improvements and con-
tinual howl for 5-cent fare.

ooh, but, and the girl
stammered too long, unable to
conceal her vague thoughts of it
being a jest. 81 don't know-but
what do you do?"
"Me-what do | do-well--here

ed the girl, somewhat abashed,
but will you always trust me
can you forget?"

"Then---"
won't you say the word?" he
pleaded.
Yes" she returned, scarce au-
dible.
Thereat and without even the
thought of a caress or hug, she
meekly placed her hand upon his
shoulder, then wept.. And tx

Don't Blame the Schools

Words of Tacoma citizen spoken this week
taken as the truth would have cast serious refee-
ton upon the public schools of this city, The cit
zen in question now admits that he spoke without
personal knowledge.
However, it is evident that the remarks as they
from the citizens lips might easily have been
taken as charging grave immortality.
The Times did not publish the remarks be-
cause the Times was confident that the in ques
ton altogether uncertain to what he was
talking of; that the issue too serious matter
to cast reflection by publication upon the schools OF
Tacoma when it was evident that a small vestige
of truth existed. In other words, the Times
willing to let pass that which made 'sensational'
reading in other papers which published the accuse
tions
The fact that Mr. Harmon has publicly apollo
gized in measure for saying what he did bears out
the theory of the Times that there little
no justification in publishing remarks which could
do absolutely no good and perhaps considerable
harm, even though they would make 'sensational'
reading
Those who know our teachers personally or who
realize the grand scope of their work, whether
they be Of the public schools or nuns or priests
have often but vague ideas of the sacrifice and devo
ton which is theirs in the effort to make men and
women of our boys and girls.
That the average school teacher is but poorly
paid In accordance with the greatness of the work
apparently matters not one whit in the earnest
of their endeavor
1t may be only too true indeed that individual
cases OF deporable nature arise at times with
school children concerned. But why endeavor to
point to our schools as breeding places of immor
atty? The thought most inbred in the hearts of
those who develop the young is to incucate
strength OF character which will ward off the evil
influence that may come from the OUTSIDE.
And what the Times means by ''outsde" is not
the homes, but that which drifts in upon boys and
girls because the municipal officers are content to
say that Tacoma isn't any worse than other
towns" Don't blame schools and necessarily
our teachers for what may arise. But DO blame
your executive who permits lax methods which
allow contamination of the ''Our town is as good as
the other town. sort.
Did you ever know a hard-headed business
man who was satisfied because his system was as
good as the other fellows Not by a long shot.
Your real business will drum it into the heads
OF his employees that he wants HIS system to be
BETTER than the other fellows.
Don't go to the schools-for the present at
least-and say "look what is happening Your
teachers doing the best they can in noble work
There may be imperfection along other lines than
moral. That is another question.
But here's one thing that every father and
mother can do. They can go to the municipal
authorities and say, Don't tell US that Tacoma is
no worse than other towns. Give us a better one
and help thwart those mosquitoes of temptation that
come buzzing from your fostering swamps for a

To Camolet I'll return and Arthur's hail.
Watching tall torches 'flaring the wall,
Hearing the clink of armoredmen at play,
Breathing the pungent perfume of burnt pine,
The steaming boar shead and the rich spiced wine
To all the crude, rude glorious willing thrall.

For proof proves and redress of wrong;
While in my hours of ease, the treble song
OF some grey bard shall tell OF dragons bold,

To learn again of fierce, wild wonderment;
or wailing, captive queens in chains of gold. nj
Wistfully leaning out from magic towers,
Whose alabastrine battlements touch the sky;
