asked.
"Why"-he stammered-"I-"
He had been SO conscious of his
feeling toward her. SO conscious of
the fact that the one woman In all the
world was locked In here alone with
him. that since he arranged her seat
he had not trusted himself to he near
her. And she did not seem to under
stand.
She wished him to sit beside her, not
knowing that he felt the almost over
powering impulse to take her in his
arms and crush her close to him. That
desire would have been more easily
controlled. had he not begun to believe
that she in some degree returned his
feeling for her. If they escaped from
this black prison. he would rest hapDy
in the faith that her affection for him
now. as he supposed so largely friend
IL. would ripen into glorious and
compelling love. But it would not be
right for him to presume-to take a6-
vantage of a moment in which she
might think that she cared for him more
than she actually did. Then. too. he
already foresaw vaguely the possible
necessity for an act which would make
1t best that she should not hold him
too dear. So long he stood silent that
she spoke again.

Mir Inf en Suffraae.

President Taft in an interview pub ished in the Womau's World is quot ed as declaring that he is not one of those who believe that matrimonE is q necessity for women. and he de- clares that he agrees with the prin- ciple of woman suffrage.
 "l wish that every girl in the world were so situated that she would not think it necessary for her to marry unless she wanted to- said Mr. Taft.
 T would like to have the scheme of things so arranged that women when they come to decide as to matrimony should have full and unfettered choice. This they can have only when they are in such q position that they are absolutely independent Then if they decide to marry they can turn their faces toward the new life with the reasonable hope of years of un- mixed happiness.
 NOW the question arises as to how the girls of the country can reach this position. which is their due. l believe that the most important education possible b that kind which may be called industrial vocational education. the kind that puts young men ana young women in q position from which they can by their own efforts work themselves to independence.
 T have saiu in some of my speeches in various parts of the country that nm very glad indeed that I shall have no property to leave to my boys. To my two sons I shall leave only q good character. d good education and q pri le ill themselves. but for my daugh- ter l intend to scrape together as much as l can give her and to train her in such manner that she shall take in the great fact that for the sake of her own happiness she shall marry only when she chooses and not be cause of circumstances, I am not one of those who believe that matrfmony is necessity for women"
 On the question of woman suffrage MT. Taft said: T want the women or the country to have the full and un qualified right of suffrage as soon ss they all want 1t. When l was sixteen years old l wrote q graduating essay entitled Woman Suffrage and in that boyish article was strong advocate of women exercising the suffrage"

Miss Winifred Mears, q California girl, well known in San Francisco and Washington society. is the originator If the idea to have the battleship Ore gon, known the world over as the bulldog" of the navy, lead the com biued fleet of the nations through the Panama canal on it's completion in 1915.
 Congressman Foss, chairman of the house committee OH naval affairs, has publicly Md officially approved her plan. Miss Mears has sent petitions all over the UWtcd Sfates in behalf of the Oregon. and these are being sign ed hy le5aiHg officials and professional and business men of the country and are being forwarded 10 Washington.
 Some time ago the secretary of the navy stated that + the people desired this honor for the Oregon he would have no objection to it. The oregon was placed in commission recently uf,cr having been ont of commission five years II is understood that the placing og the great ship of war in commission was due to the efforts Of Congressman Kahn of California.
 In her petition Miss Mears states:
 other sea fighters may be of more ponderous proportions; others may loom with more impressive outline on human vision; others may have a longer roll .caI in their complement of men and an armament of weightier and more numerous guns But of all the ships that ever sailed the sea. of all the fighting machines that ever cleared for action, not one in all his tory has Il record as sailer or fighter that equals that of the good ship Ore gOn
 Nothing would so emphasize the completion of the Panama canal as the l.. s. s. Oregon leading the navies of the world on this occasion. as she would symboli2e at once the militancy of the United States in naval creation and her skill in canal building
