to me and she told me that l was for
getting myself and must leave her at
once. Uncertain as TO whether she
had submitted to my outburst with
more or less Indifference as the best
way Of extricating herself from an
embarrassing situation, or whether
she was secretly angry, yet worried
greatly over the consequences Of my
tmpetuosity, I held out my hand ap-
pealingly as begged her forgiveness
that in my great love for her I had
taken advantage Of my superior
strength Ny hand she eIuded by a
step backward and her perfectly mod
Ulated voice once more bade me a non
commitaI good night
I threw my Oyercoat over my arm
and turned to the door. But at least
you may tell me if I am forgiven" I
pleaded, as heavy Of heart I paused
upon the threshold Her expression
remained changeless.
I have not fully decided. You will
know later"
Then l may hope that I have not
sinned beyond redemption and that 1
may see you again?"
You may call me up in few days
when you have recovered your bal
ance"
And until then must wait for my
answer"
Until then you must wait Good
night"
I bowed. passed into the hallway
and left her, hope and fear battling in
my bosom.

Il AM OUT OF POLITICS"
DECLARES ROOSEVELT
Colonel Says People Are Dodging Him
in Fear They Will Be
Compromised.

New York Theodore Roose-
welt made the following announce
ment to the newspaper men who
called on him fer further intorma-
tion in regard to the reopening of the
question of the Hartman contribution
to the campaign fund of 1904:
I won't have thing to say be-
cause l am not in politics
People are afraid to come to see
me for fear they will be compromised
by this talk of politics. I'm not afraid
of being compromised. I'll see any
body"
With this declaration that he ais
not in politics" the colonel warded of
inquiries as to whether his CORE
spondence with Mr.. Sheldon is to be
interpreted as an announcement that
he is a candidate for the presidential
nomination next year.
The colonel did answer a ques-
ton as to whether anyone had asked
him to use his influence for any candi-
date for the governorship nomination
mot single human being" he said
with snap Of mis- jaws
Regarding the charges that were
made in the papers that he had been
omitted from the list of guests of the
peace banquet to be held at the Wal
dorf on Saturday night, for the reason
that he is viewed as a political and
personal enemy" of President Taft,
who is to be there, the colonel said:
Black type was not good enough for
that particularly ingenious story
1t should have been printed in red ink
with letters a foot high Horrible!

NANARAS RAPED
By LABOR LEADERS
Federation Bodies Officially De-
nounce Los Angeles SIayerS.
SAY UNIONS WERE MISLED
Gompers Causes Distribution of State
ment Throughout Country-Em-
ployers Are Blamed for Con-
ditions Now Existing.

Washington - That labor unions
have no desire TO condone the
crimes of which the Mcnamara broth
ers recently pleaded guilty at Los
Angeles, is the declaration of Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor in a letter to
unions of the United States. The state
ment is signed by the ways and means
committee, which was named to raise
the Mcnamara defense fund.
Contained il the statement is the
following criticism of the McNamaras:
'Organized labor Of America has no
desire to condone the crimes of the
McNamaras. 1t joins in the satisfac-
ton that the majesty Of the law and
justice has been maintained and the
culprits punished commensurately for
their crime.
1t is cruelty unjust to hold the
men of the labor movement either
legally or morally responsible for the
crime Of an individual member. No
such moral code or legal responsible
ity is placed upon any other associa-
ton Of men in our country.
In SO far as we have the right to
speak, in the name of organized la
Dor, we welcome any investigation
which either federal or state courts
may undertake. The sessions of the
conventions of the American Fedora
ton of Labor are held with open
doors that all may see and hear what
is being said and done. The books,
accounts and correspondence of the
American Federation of Labor are
open to any competent authority who
may desire to make a study or an in
vestigation of them
will the National Manufacturers
association, the Erectors' association
and the detective agencies extend the
same privilege for public investiga-
ton and examination of their books
and correspondence?
Blame for conditions which produce
such men as the McNamaras is
thrown upon employers. The state
ment says in this respect;
When industrial conditions be-
come unsettled they are due more
largely to the unreasOnableness of
employers, who regard every effort
of the workers to maintain their
rights and to promote their interests,
as an invasion of employers preroga-
tives, which are resented with conse-
quenU struggles. If employers will be
fair and tolerant they will find more
than responsive attitude on the
part of organized labor, but, of one
thing all may rest assured, that with
existing conditions of concentrated
wealth and industry, the organized
toilers of our country realize that
there is no hope from abject slavery
outside of the protection which the
organized labor movement affords.

as her eyes sought my face she drew

sunshine behind a driving cloud.
| Zip" she inquired, quick solicituds
in her tones. l shook my head as ]
stepped within
| She closed the door behind me- "Oh,
you men, you dissipate So" she said
with an attempt at bentering. But
am really surprised at you, Tom !
had thought your morals almost too
| immaculate. However, a walk in the
outer air will do you good. We will
omit the church if you don't care to
| go inside. I only used that as a sub
terfuge to get you to come, you know
| Can you forgive such deceit in me?"
I looked at her helplessly, marveling
at her dupltcity The shadow of a
! frown came to her brow.
"Why don't you say something?
/ You only stand there and stare at me
! so unpleasantly," she went on with a
trace of impatience. Thoroughly sick
at heart addressed her as / changed
my mind again into the determination
to confront her with her heartIess-

! Mrs. Dace, I have Gene to tell
! you that | cannot see you any more
That you made fool of me for some
| purpose of your own, it is of course
not necessary that I should inform
you. That you have wounded me
| greatly and caused me much suffering
you may not know; but if it is any
satisfaction for you to have that
knowledge I now confess it to you. l
! do not think that I have anything
more to say to you except to ask for
the keys l inadvertently left here and
bid you goodby"
Her eyes opened wide and she stood
staring blankly into my face Il
| don't Understandable have I done?
you look so strange she STAN
! mered. l did not answer.
| Her mouth Strengthened a bit and
chill came into her voice But l
! insist upon knowing. You have sud
denly charged me with very unpleas1
ant things and I have the right to
demand an explanation in justice to
myself. 3. That right being given me, I
may or may not wish to avail myself
| of my privilege to make a reply But
having had that opportunity you need
| not fear that / shall ask anything
| further of you. Still, I feel that there
| must be some mistake. You must eX
plain yourself"
I turned my face from her as I 60
! sWered bitterly:
| Had any one in the world told
me what I now know I should have
struck him down. When rumors came
to my ears I always shut them out be-
| cause of my faith in you. But what
! my own eyes see I cannot doubt.
| haG grown to trust you implicitly, and
you yourself nodded and cemented
my faith by your protestations That
I loved you better than my own life

you. You have paid me back with
! heartIess treachery"
Il demand that you tell me instant
