"Even If He Is a Theft"
The Oriain of Tory.

Sir Walter Scott's explanation of
the origin of "Tory" as Give me" is
not quite the same as that of other in
quirers. According to high author
ity the word is Irish for "pursuer,"
and was at first given to moss troop
ers, who for their own villainous pur-
poses pretended to be on the side of
the crown and the constitution and
the rights of property and in that dis
guise haunted the bogs of Ireland, rob-
bing the inhabitants in the name of
the king. About 1880 those who "con-
tended for the extreme prerogatives
of the crown" had this contemptuous
term applied to them by their oppo-
nents and thus we arrive at the mean
ing of to-day Macaulay points out as
curious circumstance that "Whig"
and "Tory," originally applied as a
term of insult, should so soon have
been assumed with pride. An odder
circumstance is that two great Eng
lish parties should have taken their
titles, the one from the bogs of Ire
land and the other from the lawlands
of Scotland.

Price Mckinney and the generous pan

Mckinney, walking up Superior ave-

He said he had not tasted food for
many, many days. Even SO small a

be sufficient to stave off actual starva-
tion.
"See here" asked Mckinney stern
ly, "isn't it a fact that you want this
money for drink and not for food at
all?"
The man looked him in the eye,
dropped his head, gulped and owned
up that it really was good drink
that he had in mind when he men
toned his need of food.

CHAPTER II.-continued.

The picture gallery was new, an ad-
dition; and the plain, narrow, unex-
pected door in this place, where all
was high, arched, elaborate and -four
ished, was like a loophole through
which to slip into a foreign atmos-
phere. This atmosphere was resinous
of fresh wood; the light was thick
with drifting notes; the carpets
harshly new, slipping beneath the feet
on the too polished floor; the bare
bones of the place yet scarcely Gov
cred. But its quiet was after all COM
parative. There were plenty of people
lingering in groups in the center of
the gallery, which was dusky, eclipsed
by the great reflectors that circled
the room, throwing out the pictures in
bright band of color around the
walls. People leaning from this bor-
murmur together, vanished and reap
peared with such fascinating abrupt
ness that Flora caught herself guess
ing what sort Of face, where this
nearest group stood just on the edge
Of shadow, would pop out of the dark
next.
She was ready for something ex-
traordinary, but now, when it came,
she was taken aback by 1t. 1t gave
her a start, that toss of black hair,
that long, irregular, pale face whose
scintillant, sardonic smile was merci-
lessly upon the poor, inadequate pic
ture-face fronting him. His stoop
above the rail was so abrupt that his
long, lean back was almost horizontal,
yet even thus there was something
elegant in the swing of HMM the
careless twist of his head, around, to
speak to the woman behind him. The
light above struck blind on the glass
in one eye, but the other danced with
a genial, mad scintillation. The light
of it caught like contagion, and
touched the merest glancer at him
with the spark of it's warm, ironic
mirth. The question which naturally
rose to Flora's lips-"Who in the
world is that?"-she checked; why
she didn't ask herself. She only felt
as she followed Clara, trailing away
across the floor, that the interest OF
the evening which had promised sc
well, beginning with the Chatworth
ring, had been raised even a note
higher Her restive fancy was begin
ming again. All the footlights of hel
little secret stage were up.
Clara turned to the right, following
a beckoning fan, and Flora, dallying
with her anticipation, reasoned thai
now they must circle the room before
they should face him-the interesting
apparition. 1t was a pilgrimage o.
which he on the other side was per
forming his half. Perfunctorily talk

She kept her eyes fixed on thu

it as thick as dust 1t was believed
to be a talisman of good fortunes
pecially in love.
1T had age; 1t had intrinsic value;
1t had beauty, and that one other
quality no man can reslst-it was the
only thing of its kind in the world.
At all events, it was too much for old
Neville Crew, when he saw 1t there
some couple of hundred years ago.
When he left India the ring went
with him. He never told how he got
it, but lucky marriages came with 1t,
and the Crews would not take the
house of lords for it. Their women
have worn it ever since"
For a moment the wonder of the
tale and the curious spark Of excite
ment it had produced in the teller
kept the listeners silent. Clara was

Kerr turned his glass in meditative
fingers. "She wore it as young Chat

an increasing tension, as If he drew
them toward him.

is bachelor, but, of course, the ring

death"
And Lord only knows" the judge
broke in, "how it got shipped with
Bessie's property. Crew was out of
England at the time. He kept the
wires hot about it, and they managed
to keep the fact of what the ring was
quiet-but it got out to-day when Pur-
die found it was gone. You see he
was showing it-and without special
permission"

Talking to the Child.

Mrs. x talks to little Madge
Just as Mr.. K talks to their dog"
said little girl of neighboring fam
lily. And it was indeed true. Mrs.
K is a very well-meaning woman
and would be greatly surprised If she
should hear the foregoing statement.
She has simply unconsciously acquired
harsh tone Of voice in dealing with
her children. This is altogether un-
necessary and is not, as many moth
ers seem to think, a mark of good dis
cipline. The mother whose manner is
quiet but firm is generally a much
more successful disciplinarian than
the harsh-voiced mother who issues
her commands in dictatorial manner.
Kindness never spoils children. 1t Is
flabby indecision, sometimes mistaken
for kindness, which spoils them.

IRRIGATION.

The Herald gives space in another
column TO an article signed by Chas.
w. Griffith, the we'll known Florida
mesa farmer, regarding the formation
OF the Florida Mesa Irrigation district.
Mir. Griffith is rather severe in his
criticism. The Herald signed the pc
tition endorsing the proposition. The
Herald, from surface indications, holds
the scheme to be proper and le-
Ultimate one. OF course we feel 1t
the duty of those interested to see
that they are not given the worst of
the deal. There should be those among
the farmers who know the value OF
water and The cost of constructing
bitches, reservoirs, etc. But $50 water
Is not high uhere the land is first
class AT the same time 1t is for
those directed interested to go over
the situation carefully and decide the
matter for themselves. The way we
understand the proposition any one
can bid for tile construction of the
bitches and the reservoir and there
is nothing TO prevent local people Or
those directly Interested clubbing to-
gether and doing the work At least
this is the way 1t looks to The Herald
We do not believe The rights of other
bitches or their holdings will be in
terfered with. 1t would not be right
10 do so. The holders of prior rights
should receive full protection. Now
let every last farmer in the proposed
district attend the meeting
and take part in the discussion. I'm

"EAT LIGHTLY UNTIL MAY"

The Chicago health department,
discussion of the cost Of living, makes
a suggestion which has some bearing
on that problem
1t is concerned with the danger OF
pneumonia, and advises all TO eat
lightly and drink lightly from now
until May" Heavy eaters and full
s;omached people. II says. are especial.
II prone to contract severe colds and
develop dreaded pneumonia.
There are doctors who advise us
to eat as often and as much as ma
ture prompts" or appetite compels
There are doctors who solemnly as.
sure US that a full stomach is a pro
lection against disease, because ii
means reserve of power" on which
we automatically draw when our con
dition is subnormal. These experts rid.
icule the gospel of few and light meals
and call It mere fad
But the wise Chicagoans will re-
member that the doctors disagree al
ways and that 1t is proper TO give the
principle OF moderation, as advocated
by our health department, the benefit
OF the doubt. II Is not necessary to
go from one extreme to the other, from
overeating to undertaking. To "eat
lightly" does not mean to starve your
self or go hungry all the time.
Incidentally, eating lightly win re-
duce the cost of food for The family,
which is something of considera.
tion in these days. If We cat lightly
our days will be longer and our pocket
books fatter.-Record-H Herald.
