speakers who came 70 the league head

that the vote given 70 william r Hearst

Mr.. Shearn received in 1903 a total OF

Old Records Tell of Case Where One
Pleaded Before Court in An
Client Babylonia.

Among the most interesting treas
ures of the British museum are the
clay tablets of ancient Babylonia
These tablets, resembling unglazed
tiles, throw quaint lights and shadows
on the manners and customs OF long
ago. Usually the records are frag-
mentary, but are occasionally fairly
complete, as is that of legal proceed
Ing instituted by woman OF Bor-
sippa," which action is of particular
interest as showing that married
woman's property law was in force as
early as $50 B. C.
The proceedings to which the doc
uments" refer were taken by wom-
an against her brother-in-law to re-
gain possession o. property left by
her husband. The evidence showed
that man of Babylon had married
the woman from Bcasippa, and with
the money of ner dowry he had
bought an estate. After few years.
having no children of their own, they
adopted a son, and shortly afterward
the husband mortgaged the estate.
Later he died. leaving the estate mort

claim the property.
The widow took the matter before
the court at Borsippa; but 1t was be-
yond the Jurisdiction of this court and
was referred to the high court at
Babylon. Here the case was duly
heard, and the judges rendered de-

The Mystery Takes Human Form.
He turned from the window where
he had presented long, dropping,
patient back, and his warm, ironic
mirth-tthhe Same that had played with
her the first night-fashed out at
sight of her. But after moment an
other expression mixed with it,
sharpened it, and fastened upon her
with an incredulous intentness.
She stood on the threshold, pale,
and brilliant still in her blaze of an
ger, equal. at last, to anything. Kerr,
as he signaled to her with every line
ament of lis enlivened face, his inter
est, his defiance, his uncontrollability,
was not the man of her imaginary
conversations. He was not here to be
used and disposed of; but, as he came
toward her, the new admiration in his
face was bringing her reinsurance
that neither was she. The thought
that her moment of bitter incredibly
had made her formidable gave her
courage even to smile. though she
grew hot at the first words he spoke

tons she led Mrs. Herrick on to spin
out the subject, to play it over with
lights and shades, to beat all around
it. And all the while she knew that
Kerr was watching her.
The lady's clear gray eyes travelled
between Flora's face and his. Under
their steady light there was a strange
alertness. as if she sat there ready
enough to avert whatever threatened.
but anxious to draw her skirts aside
from it, distrusting the quality, hating
to have come in upon anything so du-
bious. When the hall door opened
and closed she listened as If for de-
tween the portieres she turned to her
and met her with flash of relief, as
if here at last was safe quantity.
Clara was still wearing her hat, with
the veil pushed up in a little mist
above her eyes, and still had her
white gloves on. The sight of Mrs.
Herrick's hand soliciting the clasp of
those gave Flora a curious sensation.
She looked from one face to an
other, and last at Kerr's She shut
her eyes an instant. Here was thief.
He was standing in her drawing-room
now. She had been talking with him.
She opened her eyes. The fact ac-
knowledged had not altered the color
of daylight. 1t was strange that
things-furniture and walls and land
scape-should remain so stolidly the
same when such thing had happened
to heri For she had not only spoken
with thief, but she had shielded
him.

He never left off looking at her,

turn. "But l don't see it now You're

rang at her. "Off and on Why, my

that her horrible idea was a fact. She

man knew it! Yet the fact declared

She watched him with increasing
doubt. After saying so much, was he
going to say nothing more? She had

Hopeful Sign.

That the war on tuberculosis pays
Immediate dividends in human life
is proved by report of DR.. Bosley,
health commissioner of Baltimore. In
the monthly health bulletin for July
1t is shown that the number of deaths
from tuberculosis occurring in the city
was go. as compared with 1923 for the
same month last year. Dr. Bosley says
that he attributes the decrease In the
number of deaths to the educational
campaign that those interested In the
fight against the white plague" are
making. THE interest of the public
has been aroused" he declares. "and
there is a general tendency on the
part of the people to heed the warn
ings and to observe the hygienic rules
being promulgated" In ten years, IL
the present progress is kept up, DR..
Bosley believes that tuberculosis will
be stamped out.

pisenchantment.

Then this was the end of all ro-
nance? She must turn her back on
the charm, the power, the spell that
had been wrought around her. and,
horror-struck, pry into her own mind
to discover what lawless thing could
be in her TO have drawn her to such
a person, and to keep her, even now
that she knew the worst, unwilling to
relinquish the thought of him. His
depravity doomed to her enormous;
but was that all there was to be said
of him? Did his delicacy, his insight,
his tempered fineness, count for moth
ing beside it?
She couldn't believe that this one
spot could make him rotten through
out. Her mind ran back into the past.
She could not recall word, an ac-
ton, or a glance of his that had
shown the color OF decay. He had not
even been insincere with her. He had
come out with his convictions so fiat
ly that when she thought of it his
nonchalance appalled, her. He had
been the same then that he was now.
But the thing that was natural for
him was impossible for her, and she
had found it out-that was all.
Yet the mere consideration of him
and his obsession as one thing was
intolerable. She curiously separated
his act from himself. She thought of
it, not as a part of him, but as some
thing that had invaded him-a dis
case-something inimical to himself
and others, that mixed the thought of
him with terrors, and filled her way
with difficulties. Now it was no long
er a question of how to meet him, but
of how she was not to. 1t was not his
strength she feared, but her own
weakness where he was concerned.
Her tendency to shield him--she must
guard against that-and that disturb
ing influence he exercised over her,
too evidently without intention. But
he would be hard to avoid This way
and that she looked for way out OF
her danger, yet all the while she was
conscious that there was but one plain
way of escape open to her. She
could give the sapphire back to Harry
within the "a hours.

"Ah. thought you only ran back to
hide in your dolls house."
She laughed. Such a picture of her!
We'll, at any rate, now I've come
out. what have you to say to me?"
Nov you've come out" he repeat
ed. and looked at her this time with
full grav:ty, as If he realized finally
how far she'd come.
She had taken the chair in the light
of the eastern windows. She lay back
in the cushions. her head little bent,
her hands interlaced with a perfect
imitation of quietude.
He looked down upon her from his
height.

said, "but now I'm here, now that l
see you, wonder if there's something
/ haven't reckoned on" He looked at
her earnestly. IF you think I've taken
advantage of you-if you say so-Tn
go away, and give you chance to
think it over"
1t would have been so easy to have
nodded him out, but instead she half
put out her hand toward him. NO;
stay"
He save her quick look-surprise
and appreciation at her courage. He
dropped into chair. Then tell me
about it."
Flora's heart went quick and little.
She held herself very still. afraid in
her tense consciousness lest her
slightest movement might betray her.
She only moved her eyes to look up at
him questioningly, suspending ae-
acknowledgement of what he meant until
he should further commit himself.
Il mean the sapphire" he said. He
waited.
Yes" she answered coolly. Il Jaw
that ii interested you last night, but
couldn't think especially why. It's
a beautiful stone"
He laughed without a sound-shook
noiselessly for minute. Meaning
that gentleman shouldn't pounce
upon any beautiful stone he may hap
pen to see?" He got up and moved
about restlessly in the little space
between their two chairs. Quite so;
lay it to my being more than gentle
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1910-11-22

But beneath his distress she recog-
nized desperate earnestness. There
was something he wanted at any cost,
but he was going to be gentle with
her. She had felt before the poten-
TALLY of his gentleness, and she
doubted her power to resist it. She
famed up all the fame of anger that
had swept her into the room. She re-
minded herself that the greatest gen.
tleness might only be a blind; that
there was nothing stronger than want
ing something very much, and that
the protection of the jewel was very
thin But when he stood beside her
she realized he held a stronger
weapon against her than his gentle
ness, something apart from his inten-
ton.
He was speaking, almost coaxingly,
as If to child. Il understand" he
was saying. 81 know all about It, It's
a mistake. But surely you don't ex-
pect to keep it now 1t will only be
an annoyance to you"
She turned on him. What could it
be to you?"
Kerr, planted before her, with his
head dropped, looked, looked, looked,
as If he gave silence leave to answer
for him what it would. 1t answered
with hundred echoes ringing up to
her from long corridors of conjecture,
half-articulated words breathing of
how extraordinary the answer must
be that he did not dare TO make.
What will you take for it?' lie sai1
at last.
She was silent. With a sick dis
trust it came to her that it was the
very worst thing he could have said
after that speaking silence.
She stepped away from him. This
thing Is not for sale"
He stared at her with amazement:
then threw back his head and laughed
as If something Lad amused him
above all tragedy.
"You are an extraordinary crea-
ture," he said, 'but really / must
have It l can't explain the why of 1t:
only give the sapphire to he. and
you'll never be sorry for having done
that for me. Whatever happens, you

more have faced Clara than IL she
had surprised Clara naked.
She snatched the ring out of the
pocket of her gown and clutched it in
her hand. Was there no place in the
world where she could be sure of
safety for this?
With trembling fingers she fastened
it again to the chain about her neck.
She thought of Kerr downstairs wait
ing for her. Well, she would rather
keep it with her. Then, at least, she
would know when it was taken from
her. Still in the fury of her outraged
faith, she passed through her violated
rooms, and slowly along the hall and
down the stairs
