She had abundance of time foI
thought. Time was when she had rev
sled in such opportunities, but there
was less enjoyment in the chances af-
forded her now. That she who had
lived in the high realm of speculation
should suddenly become a m of
action, fighting for life, struck her as
a strange thing. ~Insensibly the condi-
lions of her present existence modi-
fed her philosophy. 1t seemed differ
ent, a smaller thing. She was less
sure Inc confident OF herself alone
in the great immensely than in the
crowded city. There were no applaud
ing thousands. She breathed no air
of adulation. She was alone with her
soul. The man who is alone is always
face to face with God, though his eyes
may be hidden so that he cannot see
the Divine. 1t was 30 with this
woman.
Never had she SO craved other
companionship. She would have been
happy if she could have believed that
there was a God, for had there been a
God she would not have felt so de-
serted. So she fought or against her
soul and e circumstances losing
battle.
The sixth day opened dark and
gloomy. The wind had risen during
the night. The day broke heavily
overcast. Even to her inexperience
she could realize that a storm was at
hand. h had seen nothing during
the period; that is, nothing of which
she could avail herself. Twice, once
to starboard and another time to port,
she had passed low lying islands, dim
on the horizon. She had no way OF
checking the BOAT or of changing It's
course to run down either of them.
She had to go on just as she was. She
realized that she could land I'M
less she we're driven directly upon
some island that might lie in her
course. She knew. too, that the
chances that might happen were very
remote. She had daily diminished
the portion of food and drink she al
lotted to herself. She had ~husbanded
everything with the utmost care. On
the sixth day they were gone. She
awoke with a %frightful craving which
intensified as the day drew on.
She was thankful for one thing that
the sun was yelled, although she heat
in the humid, heavy, overcast air was
something almost unbearable. Under
the f%reshening breeze the boat went
much more swiftly thar heretofore.

TOO MUCH POLITICS.

To-day ends the political campaign
for 1910 and there are lot OF people
MOI sorry. The continuous perform
ance from the first OF the year has
tired many out and there was a sigh
Of relief by the voters when they
dropped in their ballots today.
one Objectionable feature TO the
primary law is that II makes too
much politics. II creates too much
agitation and political excitement.
For years The Forum has favored q
four-year term for state and county
officials. II the primary law is TO be
retained, the four-year proposition
Is all the more necessary. II will give
the people an opportunity 20 get a
three-year rest and they can stand a
double campaign every fourth year. by
inserting provision preventing any
man from holding two terms consecu-
lively there will be a better rotation
Of candidates and better service by
those in office. Higher class men
would try for the positions II they
had 70 make only one campaign for
four years.
The Forum sincerely hopes the next
legislature will take the necessary
steps 20 have a constitutional amend
ment submitted SO the present scheme
Of things can be changed from two %
four-year terms.

SOMEBODY ELECTED.

Somebody IL getting elected 70 office
today. OF course all those who have
opposition cannot be guccessfui--but
the bitter must go with the sweet.
The Forum hopes the returns will
show that G. A. Johnson has been
chosen governor OF the state Of North
Dakota IT believes his election will
be for the best interests Of the people
and that II he wins he win give North
Dakota safe and sane administration
and will be no mans tool.
The Forum will continue TO exist
even If Governor Burke Is selected for
third term. Governor Rurke's adj
ministrations have not been entirely
satisfactory 70 even his best friends.
He has made mistakes and q lot OF
them, II he wins again he will be able
20 have the members Of all the state
boards his own appointees and will
have q machine that viii make him the
bosalest sort Of political boss. The
Forum hopes he will not have to sac
rifice himself another term.

know the results

night.
Miss Barti is blessed with the only
singing voice that rises above the
mediocre, but the voice rises far above
that. She sings apparently without
effort and the numbers allotted to her
are fitted to her personality as well as
to her voice. She is refreshingly nat
ural and girlish, and though she de-
claims her lines in dialogue, one may
easily forget that In hearing her sing
The China Doll or Love Makes the
World Go Round.
The Broken Idol is billed as a
musical farcicality and the term is
probably descriptive. The lyrics have

with the exception Of the Alabama
song, they are not incongruous In the
