thinks he is secure"
'And yet I'm willing to wager" said
I, that, granting your theories are
true, which l do not for the moment
admit, the original of that sheriff is
not within a thousand miles of us at
this moment"
A new scene was thrown upon the
screen. The gaping mouths opened
wider; the audience settled down for
it's further installment of thrill. And
then-I think my hair verify stood
upon end-as if by some magnetic
compulsion my eyes turned toward
man seated upon the end bench inn
mediately across the aisle. There was
the original Of the sheriff in the play,
seated with folded arms, but staring as
if hypnotized at that phantasm of him
self that strobe and swore and played
the hero by the side of his trembling
daughter, while the mob menaced
them, yet impotent before the revol-
yer which he held in the crook OF
his strong right arm.
I turned to Crewe. / caught his
arm. Look! Look" l whispered,
pointing.
For once my companion appeared
to lose his self-possession. His eyes
shifted alternately from the play-actor
upon the screen to the man on the
bench and back again.
'Langton," he said, "for once you
get the better Of me. Fool that l was,
1 was so absorbed in theorizing that
1 didn't look. I didn't dare to hope it
might be true. Watch him and, when
the act ends, we will take seats on
either side of him. You sit on his
left and keep your eyes on his hand
his left hand"
We took our places accordingly as
soon as the moving figures faded from
the screen. The man never stirred as
we sat down beside him. His gaze
he waited for the final act of the
drama. All round us rose the excited
hum of voices. Crewe touched our
man upon the arm, and he started in
his place and leaned toward him
nervously.
Keep quiet" said Crewe in warn
ing voice. after this act want you
to come with me and explain about
the murder OF Mrs. Sanford"

"Well done, Langton," said Crewe
in whisper. "Now, sir, will you come
Quietly?"
A shiver ran through our captives

to another of us. Then he seemed to
break down and he collapsed in his
seat Imply.

I might be arrested, intending to con-

"Will you come now?" said Crewe.
LET me see the last act" he plead
ed. "My God, you don't know what 1t
means to realize that l shall never see
her face again in life, except upon
that screen. I've come here nightly to
look at her. Let me wait till the end"
"On one condition" said Crewe.
"Langton, take the pistol out of his

"As bad as that?" asked the young
man.

"She has lot of it," said the young

"But fancy" cried the girl in pink.
"No matter how much hair you have

of it is fastened to your head! She
Just didn't care! And she's never had
a hobble skirt to her name. She's
gone right on wearing her last years

WHEN TO ANSWER A LETTER
Considering Them as Part of a
Written Conversation the Pres
ent Time Is the Best.

When is the best time to answer a
letter? Considering a letter as part
Of written conversation, the best
time to answer it is on the day when
it is received. Every one knows that
the enthusiasm, sparkle and spontan-
city which makes correspondence de-
lightful depend altogether on the
mood in which one handles the pen.
On the first reading of letter the
writer seems to be almost in the room
and the words on the page have the
cadence and reality of the spoken
voice. Put the letter aside for three
or four weeks and the effort of reply
is evident. The effervescence Is
brushed from the draught, and what
was originally cordial and tonic is
fiat and insipid. The best time to
answer a letter is the present time,
yet heard young girl complain not
long ago that she could never keep
out of debt to her friends. "They al
ways answer by return mail, and am
as badly off as ever" she asserted
with a sigh.
Home news never fails to satisfy
the child away from home. Father
and mother at home watch and wait
for letters from the absent children.
Home letters and business letters
should be answered at the earliest
moment. AS for those of compara-
lively slight Importance, such as let
ters that are merely written to keep
up an acquaintance, one may use her
discretion. Bread and butter letters
obligatory after visit should be sent
within a few days of guests return

Thought

After the young woman in pink had
lured the young man into a secluded
seat under the palms on the plea that
she was too tired to dance she talked
herself hoarse without being able to
start flow of conversation on his
part. Then he coughed.
There - er was something |

ly.
The young woman in pink leaned
over and adjusted her slipper rOsette
to conceal her gratified surprise.
What was it," she murmured as she
sat up and regarded him confidingly.
Somehow" he said, Il feel that
you always understand me-you have
sympathetic nature"
Il am glad if you think so, Mr.. Fril-
ler," the girl in pink said softly.
"Oh, do!" declared the young man,
earnestly. 1T makes it easier"

and govern themselves accordingly.
Notwithstanding ais this, we
heartily agree with the Montpelier
journal in this declaration of what
a newspaper should do: .sIt would
be easier for newspapers to employ
only phrases of commentator and
tlattery, but such a course of action
would be unjust to the public. If
the newspaper is true to its mission
it must stand as sentinel to warn
the public of any betrayal Of trust.
If wrong is done, if good faith is not
kept, then it is the duty of the news
paper to tell it's readers the facts.
Criticism seldom is easy or pleasant
but it is duty which an honest
newspaper cannot shirk when occa-
sion demands it."

ed sense of a democratic people.
This was one of the republican
platform pledges enthusiastically ac-
cepted in the last state convention,
after a campaign in which the charge
of the use of money in the precon-
yention canvass was freely made.
Yet the senate turned down the
bill designed to remedy this evil
without giving it the slightest show
for it's life. Later an attempt to
have the measure reconsidered was
voted down IA to IL. If, as claim
ed, there were objectional features
in the bill an honest attempt ought
to have been made to eliminate
them, rather than to slaughter the
measure.
1t has already gone out to the
country at large that the Vermont
republicans have no sympathy for a
measure calculated to guard against
money campaigns. How do the peo-
pie like this sort of a thing?
Is the action of the senate, which
is supposed to be largely representa-
tive of republican leadership, a no
tice to the newspapers that opposed
the money methods of the last cam
paign that they had better not inter
fere in this direction in the future
Certainly the senate's action is
not intended to encourage the advo-
cacy of moneyless campaigns. 1t
may, however, have exactly the OPP
posite effect in 1912. Mortified

The Masters of the Press.

Robert Lincoln O'Brien, editor of
the Boston Herald, while delivering
lecture on Journalism at Yale Uni
versity last week said:
But it is the reader who really
edits the newspapers. Every time he
lays down a coin he is shaping the
direction of journalism, just as when
the steam pump at the reservoir.
The sum which the indi-
vidual pays for any commodity,
whether a newspaper or linen col
lar, is really vote on the style of
that article which he desires to have
produced. In the selection of this
newspaper the everyday reader is di-
recting journalism in it's sense of
proportion, it's approach to the news
of the world, whether by direct or
differential route, in its variety and
crispness, and above all else, in its
honesty"
Accepting the statement as cor
rect, and no newspaper man will de-
ny it, it will be equally as well un-
derstood that the different kinds OF
newspapers represent the different
classes of people that exist in any
community. The tremendous circu-
lation of newspapers that simply
aim to entertain their readers with
comic pictures and fantastic articles
is an unerring indication of the ex-
tent to which people prefer amuse-
ment and ingenious fctions to infor-
nation of more serious character,
We like to talk about the indepen-
dence of the press but the fact is the
news editor and manager of any pa
per have to study the readers tastes

Wasted Time in the Legislature.

1t was freely admitted among ex-
perienced members of the legislature
quite early in the session just ended,
that the session would be prolong-
ed one. A principal reason for their
belief lay in the fact that there are
today, in Vermont as in other states,
many more problems to be dealt
with through legislation than existed
a generation back. Some of them,
too, are much more complicated
than those of former times. In the
opinion of these men the day has
passed when a Vermont legislature at
it's biennial session can be expected
to deal adequately with the live is
sues of the period within the sixty
days which once were regarded as
liberal limit for a session.
But the extreme length of the re-
cent session was not due wholly to
the enlarged demands upon the at
tention of the legislature. There
was waste of time. In this respect
the session was not exceptional; but
the waste of time was larger than
ever because, as usual, it was pro-
portional to the length of the session
1t is no mere guess to surmise that
the longer the sessions grow the
greater this waste will become. And
one of the sources of this waste of
| time is the result of the prevalent
system of giving to every ambitious
man in a town, so far as possible,
! his turn" at representing the town
in the legislature.
There are too few constituencies
| in Vermont that recognize the wis
dom of re-electing an efficient repre-
sentative. AS a rule those which
i do so not only secure good represen-
| tati0n for them selves hit thew confer
a distinct benefit upon the state.
Such men do much to expedite the
organization of the legislature and
the early proceedings of the session.
The trouble is that there are alto
/ gether too few of them. The tried and
| seasoned legislators are but a hand
full amid the great mass of the I'M
tried and the unseasoned. Some of
these reelected representatives be-
come leaders, but their leadership is
frequently a trial to themselves and
sometimes only a measurable sue
cess because of the lack of efficient
lieutenancy.
/ It is early in the day to make any
suggestions concerning the choice OF
the next legislature, but it is not too
early to suggest that the people OF
the several towns make such study
of the record of their respective rep
resentatives as will enable them TIC
determine whether or not their mar
made good. And if he did he is the
best man in town to elect, for al
least one more term. He will reflect
more honor upon the town than g
new man, perhaps, and his exper-
fence will aid in saving some of the
time wasted in the state house

Just A Prediction.

The Burlington Free Press re-
Gently said in an editorial, I'VE now

cessation of the New Hampshire
plan of political domination SO long
operated by the Boston and Maine,
that corporation will seek in 1912
to control the state election in YER
mont and the <choice of a legisla-
ture."
We will submit prediction and
it is only prediction as we have no
knowledge of the plans of the Bos-
ton and Maine Railroad. We pre-
dict that before the election of 1912
the Boston and Maine will have Sc
cured from the Grand Trunk track
age rights over it's line in Vermont
at more advantageous terms than
those now in force or else it will
have constructed on the New Hamp-
shire side of the Connecticut river
line of its own and be giving i'm
proved service over its lines be-
tween Montreal and Quebec and New
York City
Meanwhile, the Grand Trunk, if
it is really in earnest about getting
into southern New England, will
have it's lines so far advanced that a
Vermont legislature could not give
the Boston and Maine power enough
to cripple the Grand Trunk if it was
composed wholly of men owned and
tagged by the Boston and Maine

We call attention to an article by
Olin Merrill of Enosburg Falls pub
lished elsewhere in this issue. 1t is
a good thing for Vermonters to give
the public a few facts about the
state as it really is when charges of
dry rot'' and other defamatory
statements are made. There are
many things in the state to appreci-
ate as well as criticise and it does a
person good to have a correct IN
derstanding of the attractions and
advantages of his state. To what
Mr.. Merrill said it might be added
that Vermont stands fifth in the
union in yield of corn per acre, first
in wheat, sixth in oats, seventh in
potatoes and sixteenth in hay. This
is the result of a thrift and intelli-
gence that cannot be found in rea
decadent communities.
