 She flushed prettily, looking almost as young as she had in his dreams of the morning. as she replied:
 'T was expecting you. Gerald"

 A smile lowered over the woman's face as she fitted here and there. busily preparing things for a meal. Then she slipped behind a chair, and leaning over whispered with burning cheeks:

"They were so interested that they sent MT Schauweker and myself down here to make a personal inves- tigation and report back to them" he said. "We found that the cheapest rate on the railroads to Arkansas points was direct to Hot Springs, so here we came. When we leave Hot Springs we will go over to Little Rock and from there to St. Francis county to make investigations. We will then return home and send notices to those farmers.
 "I have become thoroughly convinc- ed of the possibilities of Arkansas that those farmers who have not saved enough money to move down here can get all they want from me, for I am sure they can come here and, within a short time, make enough to return the loan to me.

PfUTfONS ARE
 H DISTRIBUTED
II Is Proposed to Reduce the Leg1s- lative Session t0 Sixty
 Days.

Little Rock, Dec 15.-The formal petitions for the submission of a constitutional amendment at the next general election, the second Monday in September, 1912, as pro- posed by Attorney General Norwood, limiting the amount that may be re- ceiyed by members of the General Assembly and fixing the limit of regular sessions at 60 days, where per diem is drawn, have been sent out and their circulation will be commenced at once. The following is the proposed amendment to the constitution in toto.
 That Section 16, Article ), of the Constitution of the State of Arkan- sas, be so amended as to read as follows:
 Each member of the General Ass sembly shall receive $6 per day for his services during the first 60 days of any regular session of the Gen. eral Assembly, and if any regular session shall be extended, such mem- Der shall serve without further per 6iiem. Each member of the General Assembly shall also receive 10 cents per mile for each mile travelled to and from the seat of government over the most direct and practicable route. When convened in eXtraor- ilinary session by the governor, they shall receive $3 per day for their services during the first 15 days, and if such extraordinary session be ex- tended beyond 15 days they shall re- ceive no further per diem. They chalI be entitled to the same mile. age for any extraordinary session as herein provided for regular session. The terms of all members of the General Assembly shall begin on the day of their election, "'1d they shall receive no cn'.,pensat1on, peruuisites or allcE,dnce whatever, except as here provided.
 Says Would Save S13o,00O.
 One thousand copies of this peti- ton are said to have been sent out, and each is accompanied by state ment of the attorney general to the effect that the adoption of such an amendment would save the state at least $135, GOO biennially. MT. Nor- wood says that Arkansas is almost the only state that has placed no limit on the amount of salary that member of the legislature shall draw.
 Under the present system the leg fslature can stay in session as long as it pleases, at salary of $6 per day per member. The last legisla- ture convened January il and re- mained in session unti May 13. During the last session several measures were introduced tending to put limit on the length of legisla- tive terms, but none of them passed.
 Major William Stoddard, who b circulating one of the petitions In Little Rock, stated that he had not found . single man who had refused to sign the petition submitting the question at the next election.
 sTn little while had secured 26 signatures, said Major Stoddard. ':and they are among the most sub- stantial business men in the city"

 In an instant he made up his mind to visit once more the oldfashioned cottage not many miles away, to which he had hoped fifteen years be- fore to take a bride. He would go and see it, even if it's neglected con- dition only added to his loneliness and pain.
 Two hours later he was striding through the crisp country air along a winding path which led to a ram- bling, ivy-covered cottage.
 AS the last turn brought him in sight of the house he stopped in sur prise. He had expected to see dirt, ruin, and decay, but instead he looked upon trim, well-kept cottage, and a soft, crooning song, in a voice which reawakened the tender memories Of long ago, came floating through the unlatched door.
 Half believing that 1t must be fancy leading him still, he entered the house softly. and. following the voice. went into the inner room. and stood in tho glow of the warm firelight.

 When he arrived at his old club on a chill, grey Christmas morning, 1t was only to find that fifteen years silent absence had been too severe a test for friendship. The place was empty of all but servants, and they wore strange, unwelcoming faces. l He stood at the club window look ing out on the desolate deserted street which he had always remem- bered as being thronged, and great sadness swept over him.
 This was not what he wanted. From his pocket he drew out the scrap of paper which had really brought him so many miles, and looked at 1t bit terly It was only death announce ment cut from paper of a year ago. and ran in the usual way-"Michael Townley, at his residence" etc.

Just as all the laws passed by the
women significantly concern the home
and its environment just so does par
ticipation in public affairs seem to
have given Colorado women deeper,
more intelligent and energetic interest
In their homes. By the legal estab-
lishment and recognition of woman,s
citizenship, the intellect and character
and reciprocal estimation of both sexes
has been raised. The possession OF the
ballot has given wonar~an interest in
general as well os political affairs, and
this has naturally stirnulatedthe men.
Instead of the old perfunctory chit-chat
of the average domestic circle-the re-
lation Of personal doings and gossip as
the base or con5ugai conversation
there has been an injection of ideas,
the adawning of an intelligent and
more intimate companionship. The
women, instead Of, being shut off from
her husbands larger thoughts and out
side interests, now shares.in them, and
even where the partnership is not par
ticularly illuminativej it is certainly an
Improvement.
What statistics there are all fail to
show that the home broadening has
been attended by -coarsening and de-
terioration." The Colorado birth-rate
has increased steadily. and the school
population has gained rs per cent in

ton of court records proves that there
