thought of jealousy with a single
word; a man must have heard it to

have done credit to a cat that had
just eaten a canary.

Margaret looked at him moment

away in silence, as II scorning to an

of surprise disappeared from his face,

Pray, is learning Tartar a matter

angrily as she asked the question.

The dream-vo1ce was silent as soon
as she opened her eyes. but she had
not been awake long without realiz-
ing that she wished very much to see
Logotheti at once, and was profoundly
thankful that she had torn up her let
ter to Lady Maud. She was not pre-
pared to admit, even now, that Kon-
stantin was the ideal she should have
chosen for a husband, and whom she
had been describing from imagination
when she had suddenly stopped writ
ing But, on the other hand, the mere
thought that he had perhaps been
amusing himself in the society of an
other woman all yesterday afternoon
made her so angry that she took
refuge In trying to believe that he had
spoken the truth and that she had
really been mistaken about the voice
1t was all very well to talk about
learning Tartar! How could she be
sure that it was not modern Greek, or
Turkish? She could not have known
the difference. Was it so very unlikely
that some charming compatriot OF his
should have come from Constantine
pie to spend a few weeks in Paris?
She remembered the mysterious house
in the Boulevard Pereire where he
lived, the beautiful upper hall where
the statue of Aphrodite stood, the
doors that would not open like other
doors, the strangely-disturbing en-
caustic painting of Cleopatra in the
drawing r0om-many things which she

women also have the same suffrage as
their husbands and brothers. Con-
sequently votes for women is a distinctly
western institution in this country, and
the east and even the middle west do
not seem to take SO kindly to it. South
Dakota voted at the recent election
against votes for women, so the anti
suffragists and suffragists broke even-
which the women regard as a remarkable
showing. Wyoming as a territory,
allowed women to vote from 1869 to 1890,
and made no change in the territorial
law when it was admitted to the union
in 1890. Consequently it was a pioneer
territory for women's unlimited suf-
frage in this country. Colorado extend
ed the ballot to women in 1898 and
Idaho granted equal suffrage in 1896.
Having made no marked advance in
fourteen years the equal suffragists feel

STATES WHERE WOMEN VOTE

Women won a decided triumph in
Washington by the adoption at the
recent election of a constitutional
amendment giving women the right to
vote on all questions. In the excite
ment caused by the great democratic
landslide this somewhat unexpected
development in Washington state has
been generally o~verlooked-but the
suffrage leaders in New York and on
the Pacific coast are jubilant over the
victory and declare it is the most signiti-
cant result in the entire nation.
Washington women will probably not

DIVIDED ON LIQUOR QUESTION.
IL Threatens To Disrupt Port Huron
Trade and Labor Council.

PORT HURON. Mich. March "a
There was an excited session or the
Trade and Labor Council last night
over the liquor question. After a warm
discussion, in which 500 members took
part, the resolution offered by the car
penters and joiners' union that the
recent resolution adopted against To-
cal option be withdrawn and one sub
shutting the dry" cause, was laid on
the table.
The trouble started when the trades
council went on record as favoring the
cause OF the "wets." President John
son. of the carpenters and jotners, de-
clared that that body would withdraw
from the council unless the resolution
was rescinded and theirs adopted.
Addresses were made by Samuel L.
Penna, OF Detroit. secretary and treas
urer of the Michigan Federation OF
Labor. and A. McAndrews. of Louis
Vile. KY, president of the Interna-
tional Tobacco Workers union. Chas.
p. Alder and Victor c. Olander. of De-
troit. general secretary OF the Lake
Seamen's union, told Of that organiZa
tons progress during the past year.
A public meeting will be held some
time next week. Emery and Olander
will be the principal speakers. The
local option question will be discussed
at this meeting.
