shopping. 1 will meet you, however,
at the train tonight
1t was a peculiar day for Helen
Rodney. Amid the rush and tumult
of the city, thoughts of Philip, Burke,
and home dissensions, mingled curl
ously with dry goods, millinery, love,
and Xenil Edmonston.
At last the day was over, and once
again she and Xenil were together.
Even now his presence seemed to her
a comfort and protection.
"Well, what is the decision?" he
gravely queried.
81 cannot decide Immediately.
Give me time, Xenil."
'As much as you like, Helen; but
I see the end. Therefore, will you
simply as friend?"
She gave him her hand in consent.
He pressed 1t deferentially to his lips,
then carefully arranged some pillows
for her to rest upon, and taking
newspaper from his pocket COM
menced to read; and so, in silence.
they made the short journey home.
The weeks that followed seemed in
terminably long to Helen, and her
moods and methods of reasoning were
various. For hours at time she
would consider the proposed meas
ures from a strictly orthodox and
conventional point of view, until a
species of insanity seemed to possess
her. This would be followed by
rebellious mood-which for a woman
is particularly dangerous; for IL temp
tation comes to her at such moment,
she may in desperation yield to it.
Fortunately. Xenil Edmonston was
not the man to take advantage of
such moments. He intended she
should make the decision for herself
with what deliberation she should de-
sire, and in a natural frame of mind.
Then, whatever occurred, she could
not censure either herself or him.
At these periods of mental insur-
rection, Helen felt like immediate
and open rebellion against those reg
ulations and customs of society
which some inherent hut pristine
sense, dominated as unnatural aud
false. Yet she knew that she was
still thrall to a heritage of social
claims and obligations. She despised
herself that this was so, and Won
dered II she would ever become suf-
ficiently strong to break what she
felt to be'a degrading bondage.
Perhaps the narrowness of those
with whom she came in daily contact
irritated her to constant self-analy-
sis, SO that she seemed an inhabitant
of world apart.
1t was only the occasional visits of
Xenil Edmonston that partially re-
stored her to the humanity about her.
He was in no wise part of it, but
1t was doubtless the kinship that ex-
listed between them that made her, In
mis- presence. feel less isolated.
Perhaps her husband suspected
what was going on In her mind. At
all events, he had never been SO
frankly brutal. There were times
when she feared personal violence
Once she said to him. in desperation;

For years she remembered the ter
rible scene that ensued--the mans
coarse accusations and insults. In
horror she fed from him. And this

disposition of the boy. The utter in
harmony of their natures was becom-
ing more apparent daily. Often her
very presence seemed not only to irri-
tate but infuriate him. He was an
open admirer of other women. In
her opinion such marriage was only
a mockery, and had 1t not been for
the boy, she would have terminated
1t long before. Her own disposition
was becoming erratic, and at times a
Righteousness against her lot took alb
solute possession of her.
Now, at a time when her domestic
troubles seemed to have reached a
climax, Love came and whispered to
her the old, sweet strain. The feel
ing she thought dead leaped again to
life. Could she, dared she, face the
scandal that such a separation would
create? And Philip-what of him
This thought caused her to gasp for
breath as she asked

"You should have the boy, If pos
sible; If not, you would probably be
permitted to have him with you occa-
sionally. That would be much better
for him than the scenes he must con-
stantly be forced to witness between
his father and mother"
"Ah, yes, yes! 1t is killing me and
running him. 1 will consider the mat
ter and then let you know. You re-
turn tonight, do you not?"

sired. 1t was sent in a characteristic
little note which read simply:
81 have decided to place my case in
your hands and trust my future to
your care. HELEN"
Without delay Edmonston re-
paired to Mr.. Rodney, whom he found
alone and at leisure. A cool greet
ing was exchanged between the two
men, and then the lawyer launched
into the object of his visit. He stated
his case clearly and concisely. The
love he had borne Helen for years
previous to her marriage, the sympa-
thy he had felt at the unhappiness of
her welded life, which was public
talk, his desire to make her his wife,
IL Rodney would permit a quiet di-
vorce without contest, was told in
straightforward, manly way.
To say that Rodney was dazed, be-
wildered, at the proposition is but a
mild way of stating his mental condi-
tion. He was speechless for a mo-
ment, during which time every ves-
tige of color disappeared from his
face. Then he asked:
Helen knows of this?"
Eyes"
"And it is her wish to leave me?"
"Yes."
Rodney's eyes burned with anger
as he deliberately replied:
II am not a man to hold any wo-
man against her will. If, as you
think, you can make this one happy,
take her and welcome; but not the
hoy. She will never be allowed in
tercourse with Philip, and he shall
not be allowed to recognize her as
his mother. She shall be an outcast
to him. Do you understand"
But this is doing her a grave in
justice, Mr.. Rodney. The whole
world knows she is an unloved
wife"
AS l am an unloved husband.
Does your world know that, too?
Helen has always held herself above
me. Let her go her high and holy
way-I wish you joy of herr"
He turned shortly to his desk.
':That is all. Good-day."
Edmonston was forced to leave
without further attempt at argument.
Indeed, he felt 1t useless to try to re-
woke Rodney's decision and in his
heart he could not blame the man for
clinging to his son. 1t would be a
terrible blow to Helen to learn she
must lose her boy, and it was with

Suffrage Wouldn't Help, She Says.

Grace Falkner, one of the most
prominent workers of the Pennsylva-
mia Association Opposed to Woman's
Suffrage, has been making speeches
in various parts of Pennsylvania
against votes for women. Women
do not want the vote" is her argu-
ment. "The women who would vote,
should this privilege be granted to
them, are those who would do as their
husbands or the local political leader
dictated. A good looking, soft
tongued politician easily could get all
the women mill workers from a dozen
mills to vote the way he wished. AS
for economic freedom, the average
workingman would be glad to have
his wife have as much of this as pos
sible, for then his responsibilities
would grow less and hers greater.
Suffrage will not abolish child labor
nor will it close saloons. New York

To ACT AGAINST
HOMESTAKE MINE
Western Federation of Miners
Plans Suit to Test So
Called Black List

DENVER, July 22.-If a resolution
presented to the convention OF the
Western Federation of Miners this af-
ternoon is finally adopted, test suit
will be brought against the owners OF
the Homestake mine in South Dakota
because of the use sOf its so-called
blacklist policy.
The committee on resolutions asserts
that the barring of miners because of
their membership in labor organiza-
tions is a violation of the constitution
guaranteeing free speech and other
forms of Individual liberty and believes
the mine owners may be punished for
recurring workmen to disavow their al
legiance to organized labor.
J. p Madigan, delegate of the Great
Falls, Mont, union, against whom
charges of serving as deputy sheriff
during the strike of switchmen on the
Great Northern railroad were preferred,
was exonerated by the committee ap-
pointed to make an investigation. The
convention postponed action until next
Tuesday, waiting further evidence.
Telegrams from Great Falls union gave
Madigan a clean bill Of health, but a
member of the Switchmen's union sign
ing himself "Maloney" sent telegram
stating that furher affidavits against
Madigon were being forwarded. Mad
igan stated that the switchmens and
miners organizations in Great Falls
were not on friendly terms.
