Paul Hunting ducked his head from
the fierce onslaught Of the November
gale and ran quickly up the wide stone
steps that led to the old fashioned
house where be had his bachelor apart
ment. Once within the warm red
lighted ball its genial atmosphere
seemed to infold him like a crimson
mantle He was mounting the red
carpeted stairs with lingering back
ward glances into the hall below when
one of the tall mahogany doors opened
from the parlor and head was thrust
forth and then hastily withdrawn as
the owners eyes met Paufs startled
glance of admiration.
The door closed softly and there was
nothing for Paul to remember save a
vision in pale blue. with crown of
golden hair and pair of the most
heavenly blue eyes he had ever seen.
AS he fitted key into his own door
he wondered who the girl might be.
There were two other bachelor apart
ments besides his own. while the Ma
sons, who owned the house. occupied
the entire lower part. Perhaps the girl
was some relative of that elderly
couple. but he had never dreamed Of
associating the rather dried and num-
mified Masons with such bright.
beautiful creature.
He had snapped on the electric lights
and was standing before his mantel-
piece as his thoughts found utterance.
"She is the loveliest creature have
ever SEEM" he said slowly.
The little Chinese mandarin on the
mantel suddenly nodded approval in
the most uncanny fashion. Paul stared
for an instant. and then be realized

coat and tossed his hat after it on the

new LEGAL HOLIDAY.
Columbus Day VIII Be Next Thurs
day.

Thursday win be a new legal state
holiday. It is the anniversary of the
day on which Columbus discovered
America. The Topeka banks will be
closed. The recent session of the leg
islature made Columbus day u legal
holiday. Governor Stubs has accord
ingly issued the following proclama-
ton;
Proclamation.
In the history of the human race,
few events are comparable with the
discovery of America
When Christopher Columbus started
out from Pa1os to brave the dangers
of an unknown sea, the kingdoms of
Europe Ind not entirely recovered from
the paralysis of the dark ages. Seven
tenths of the Caucasian people still
wore the yoke and bonds of feudal slav-
cry and the life of every one Of them
depended entirely upon the mercy of an
overload.
The triumph of Columbus-the dis
coyery Of America-changed these con-
0itions- It opened up new channels for
the trade and commerce of nations. As
the new world came within the con-
ception of men. they saw in 1t a vision
of hope. They Strengthened up and
began talking of liberty and the rights
of man. The achievements of this
great mariner made the human pulse
beat quicker all over the world.
America has since become the asylum
Of men. 1t set an example for people
who had the courage to strike for free
dom. It became the home of opportuni-
ty and has given every living person
a chance to rise to the summit of civic
glory.
In honor of the great man who Sc
cured this priceless heritage for the
people. of all nations. Kansas, at the
recent session of the state legislature.
passed a law designating October u OF
each year, Columbus Day and max
ing the same a legal holiday.
Therefore, 1, Walter R. Stubs, gov
ernor of Kansas. hereby make procla-
nation of this law, with a sincere hope
that the same will be strictly observed
and that Discovery Day will be pat
riotically honored throughout the com
monweaith.
Given under my hand and the great
seal of Kansas this 7th day of October,
1911.
w. R. STUBBS, Governor.
