1t is time for the voters OF each town
to begin to think seriously about the
representatives, and senators in the legis-
lature OF 1910 Men should be chosen
for their fitness and their ability to ac-
complish results not because they have
been active in politics and are good
fellows" The next legislature will be
called upon to deal with important mat
ters. 1t must take the initiative in pro-
posing changes in the state constitution;
1t will he called upon to vote upon the
proposed amendment to the federal con-
sttution; a change in the methods Of
handling business in the legislature itself
Is needed, and the important matters OF
taxation, education. trunk line highways
etc, Will come up for consideration. The
members OF our next legislature will have
such an opportunity as has not been
offered in years for doing a genuine
service for the state.

As she cast her eyes round its dismal

the cold, marked the n chair which
he had saved-for TO lie or the floor had

that led from the chair to the window.

THE SCENE In THE PASSAGE.
Under the shadow of the great peat
stack, whether he a retired that
he might make up his mind before he
faced the three, Asgill cursed The Nc
Murrough with all his heart. II was,
ii must be, through his folly and mis-
management that the thing had befali-
en-, that the prisoner had been re-
leased. that Payton had been let into
the secret.
How was ne to get rid Of Payton?
How prevent Colonel John from re-
Stunning that sway in the house which
had exercised before? How nip I'm the
bud that pascent sympathy, that feel
ing for him. which Flavia's outbreak
the night before had suggested? Or
how. short OF all this. was he to face
either Payton or the. Colonel?
In counsel with James McMurrough
he might have arranged a plan Of ac-
tom, at least, he would have learned
from him what Payton knew. But
James absence ruined all. In the end,
after waiting some time I'm the vain
hope thar he would appear. Asgill went
