give up the picture, I'm only asking
you to wait"
Clara nodded toward the window,
through which Kerr could still be
seen with Mrs. Herrick. "On account
of him?"
con account of him.
For the first time Clara smiled. 1t
crept out upon her face, as it were
involuntarily, but she sat there smil-
ing in contemplation for quite ten
seconds. At last, "You want me to
suppress my information? My dear
Flora, don't you think you want me
to do more than is honest?'
"Honest!" Flora cried. The words
sounded hideous to her on Clara's
tongue; and yet what right had she,
she thought with shame, to judge OF
Clara's honesty when she herself was
leagued with a thief? Clara" she
said humbly, before this upholder of
the right, 81 can't pretend I'm not
suppressing things. I've only asked
you to see nae before you do anything
more. Now, you've come. viii you
tell me one thing-did you bring the
picture with you?"
Clara weighed it, well, if l did"
This was the considering Clara, and
Flora realized whatever she could ex-
pect from her she couldn't expect
mercy. It was another thing she must
appeal to.
Clara" she urged, wait three
DAYS. and you shall have the whole
of it. You have only the picture now.
You shall have the jewel, too. Then
you can get the reward and still be
honest"
She let the word fall into the 81
lence fearfully, as if she were afraid
Clara might detect it's sheer. But
this time Clara neither smiled nor
frowned.
"It isn't the reward I'm thinking
about. That's really very little, con-
sidering."
Twenty thousand dollars!"
Would that be much to your"
NO." Flora admitted; Eat least l
mean could pay it.
well, then" Clara triumphed, 'why,
the picture alone, if it's worth any
thing, is worth more than that" With
a bird-like lifting of the head she gave
a sidelong interrogative glance.
Flora, for a moment, steadily re-
turned the look. 1t was coming over
her what Clara meant; meaning so
simple it was absurd she had not
thought of it before-so hateful that
it was all she could do to face it. She
felt a tightness in her throat that was
not tears. Shame and anger contended
in her. Oh, for the power to have re-
fused that shameful bargain-to have
scorned it! She turned away. She
closed her eyes. In her mind she
saw the figure of Kerr moving quietly
about the winding walks with Mrs.
Herrick. She faced sharply about.
what is it worth to your"
Clara put her off with the last
sweet meekness of her cleverness.
Whatever it's worth to you
and him.
Flora was in command of herself
now. There are some things l can
not set a price on. If this is what
you have come down for, we are SIM
ply waiting for you to name it." She
looked over Clara's head. She had
stood abashed when Clara had put
on the majesty of right, but now it
was Clara herself who was abashed,
not at the thing itself, but at the fact
of having to utter it. She sat grasp
ing one of her gloves in her doubled
fist; and, leaning forward, with her

saw she carried something in her
understanding fiat and small and
wrapped in filmy bit of paper.
Out of the chaos of her feeling rose
the solitary thought-the picture
which she had bought that morning.
the picture of Farrell Wand. She
watched it drawing near her with
wonder. She sat up trembling. She
had great longing and a horror to
tear away the filmy paper and see
Kerr at last brutality revealed. She
could not have told afterward whether
Clara spoke to her She was con-
scious of her pausing; conscious Of
the faint rustic of her skirt passing;
conscious, finally, that the small
swathed square was in her hand.
She tore the tissue paper through.
She held photograph, mounted ko-
dak print. She made out the back
ground to be sky and water and the
rail of a ship with silhouettes OF
heads and shoulders, a jungle of
black; and in the middle distance
caught in full motion the single figure
of a man, back turned and head in
profile. He was moving from her out
of the picture, and with the first look
she knew it was not Kerr.
Her first thought was that there
had been a trick played on her! But
no-across the bottom of the picture,
in Judge Buffers full round hand, was
written, Farrell Wand boarding the
Loeb Ettive." She held it high to the
light Clara had been faithful to her
bargain. 1t was the picture that had
deceived her. She studied it with
passionate earnestness. She did not
know the bearded profile; but in the
burly shoulders, in the set and swing
of the body in motion, more than all
in the lowering, peering aspect of the
whole figure, she began to see a IA
miliar something. She held it away
from her by both thin edges, and that
aspect swelled and swelled in her
startled eyes, until suddenly the fig
ure in the picture seemed to be NOV
ing from her, not up gang-plank, but
through a glare of sun over grass be-
tween broad beds of flowers.
She was faint She was going to
fall. She caught at the chair to save
herself, and still she was dropping
down, down, into a gulf of spinning
darkness. ooh, Harry" she whisper
ed, and let her head roll back against
the arm of the fauteuil

The Comic Mask.

She listened to the sound of wheels,
first rafting loud on the gravel,
slowly growing fainter Then stiffness
was with her again, and hamilton.
She looked around and up, and had
no start at seeing Clara's small face
watching her over the gallery of the
rotunda 1t seemed to her that ap-
pearance was natural to her existence
now, like her shadow. She looked
away When she raised her eyes

TOLSTOl DYING

A fugitive in the wds of the mountains, away
from home and family, Tolstoi the great Russian
novelist and dealist is probably dying, No sadder
spectacle has arisen in recent days than that of
this grand old man who has sacrificed so much for
Russia and the Russian people.
OF noble blood, he renounced all his claims to
ease and comfort, and cast his lot with the peas
antry Of his country. His writings have been
translated into every tongue spoken by reading
people His philosophy has attracted the attention
Of every thinking man Of the age
1t has been taught by Tolsto that instead Of
resenting the tyranny of Russian government the
people should quietly refuse TO comply with man
dates that infringe upon their rights, but not in
any way use force TO resist
1t is his belief that if all the people should re-
fuse to submit and quietly go along with their af
fairs the government could not punish all the
people, and they would thus be victorious.
1t is a beautiful theory, but has proven, and
will always prove TO be impractical 1t is impos
sbe to get all people to comply with a single
rule of action.
True, if all the peasantry of Russia should re
fuse to pay taxes the government could not i'm
prison the whole nation for debt The trouble is,
people who have been reared under Russian condi
tions, fear to hold out against the government,
and before the program can be carried out, nine
terths have complied with the mandates of the
ruling power.
However, even though Tostois philosophy is
weak his writings have done much to better con-
ltions in his country.

CHARGES AND REASON

The Balance Wheel, publication of the liquor
interests Of Missouri seems to be very much
chargined because Oklahoma and Kansas are stick.
ing to prohibition.
One of it's hobbies is TO picture the prohibit
tionists Of Oklahoma and the hootIeggers and
iointsts all working together against high license
and local option
In the general battles on public questions,
every advantage is taken in arguing the question
and Of course If the liquor men could by hook or
crook make the business man believe that such
were the conditions. they would probably make
some converts to the liquor cause.
AS matter Of fact, such are not the condi.
tions although we hear il so much. The bootegger
and iointst are not courting eternal trouble with
the law They cannot be prosperous to any great
extent, for they are compelled to hide in back
alleys and transact business under stress. No man
invites such conditions, although he will accept
them if nothing better afford.
The man who goes into the illicit liquor busi-
ness does so to make what he can out Of it, and
where are there dozen men in Oklahoma who
are really making money out of the Illicit liquor
business7
The poor devil who sneakes a half dozen pints
of whiskey into back room and keeps a candy
bucket of cold bottles for the trade is not making
any fortune, and his very looks and surroundings
belle any such insinuation.
The man who really wants to go into the liquor
