was a stern note in Mrs. Herrick's
voice.
I'm afraid I didn't quite realize
how much l was asking of you. You
have been very good even to listen to
me. It's right, l suppose, that l should
go alone"
Mrs. Herrick looked at her in dis
may. But that is impossible!" Then,
as Flora turned away, she kept her
hand. "Think, think" she urged, "how
you will be misunderstood"
ooh, I shall have to bear that-from
the people who don't know"
Eyes, and even from the one for
whom you r spending yourself!"
Flora gave her head a quick shake.
HE understands" she said.
"My dear, he is not worth It."
Flora turned on her with anger.

Mrs. Herrick looked steadily at this
unanswerable argument. Her hold on
Fora's hand relaxed, but she did not
release it. Her brows drew together.

Flora nodded. She was speechless.

place yourself in such a false position.
Write her and tell her you are going
to San Mateo with me-"
ooh, if you would" Tears sprang
to Flora's eyes. But will you, even
if I can't tell you anything?"
II shall not ask you anything. Now
write her Immediately. You can do it
here while I am getting ready"
She had take authoritative command
of the details of their expedition, and
Flora willingly obeyed her. She was
still trembling from the stress Of their
interview, and she blinked back tears
before she was able to see what she
was writing.

Yet she was sure that if she asked he
would be promptly there. She wrote
to him briefly:
At San Mateo, at the Herrlcks'. I want
you there tonight. I have made up my
mind.
AS she was sealing it she started a.
a step approaching in the hall. She
had wanted to conceal that betrayine
letter before Mrs. Herrick came back
She glanced quickly behind her, ant

folding doors, the slim figure of a cir

Just at the chin the likeness to Mrs
Herrick failed with the strength o
her last generation-but the eyes wert
perfect; and they gazed at Flor;

youth they recognized the enactmen
of something strange and thrilling.
Another instant and Mrs. Herrick',

In the big 52nd legislative district
which is composed of the counties of
Carlton, Aitkin, Itasca, Cass and
Koochiching, there are half dozen
candidates who have filed for the re-
publican nomination for representa-
tive. Two only can be nominated and
elected, and we sincerely hope Charles
Il. Warner of Aitkin will be one of
the two. There is no man in the FIVE
counties better equipped than Mr..
Warner to represent that great district
in the legislature. He understands
the needs of northern Minnesota and
be has the ability to express his views
and the courage to maintain them.
This is the year when northern Min
nesota should be represented in the
legislature by it's ablest men.

A peculiar condition exists in the
Philippines. With the exception of
the Moros all other tribes ask that
they be granted their independence.
The Moros, however, say that if the
Americans withdraw from the archi-
pelago they will fight the other tribes
they have vowed their allegiance to
the United States and do not want in
dependence. There are $4,000 of
these warlike head hunters and,
should they turn upon the rest of the
islanders, whom they hate, they would
probably make short work of them.
Under existing circumstances it would
never do to grant independence to the
islanders.

At least one good thing can be sal

At least one good thing can be said
of the socialists - they respond
promptly to the call of member in
distress. In Massachusetts recently
Julius Vezosal, a fugitive, was cast
into jail at the instigation of the
Russian government and charged
with stealing $4,000 from a SUBJ
treasury at Tiais. His bail, while
awaiting extradition proceedings, was
fixed at $4,000. The socialist labor
party of Massachusetts, of which the
fugitive is member, Immediately
produced the amount and the prisoner
was released. The man is probably
not guilty, as it is an old game of the
Russian government to trump up
charges against former citizens and,
when it gets them into their clutches,
to send them to Siberia.
