the rooms with windows opening upon
that side of the hotel, had come the

But he was determined.
Now there was beneath his window

rail of iron-filigree-a long balcony.
extending from one corner of the no
tel to the other At intervals it was
splashed with light from the windows
of chambers still occupied by guests
belated or busy, like himself, with the
task of dressing for the evening. The
window to his left was alight; that
on his right, dark. With half his body
on the balcony, his legs dangling with
in the room, O'Rourke watched the
opening on his left with jealous,
breathless expectancy. Not a sound
came therefrom. He hesitated.
IF that weren't her room, I'd hear
somebody moving about" he reasoned.
"'Tis frightened she is-not suspect
in it's me. But how do | know
tbs herself? Faith! could me
ears deceive me?"
With that he took heart of hope and
broke manfully into the chorus, sing

singing the first line with ardor and
fervor, with confidence and with hope,
singing persuasively, pleadingly, anx-
iously, insistently.

he sang and then paused. He heard
no echo. And again he essayed, with
that in his tone to melt. a heart of
ice:
'For the world is all befo-orea us"
And now he triumphed and was
lifted out of himself with sheer de-
light; for from the adjoining room
came the next line:

A WOMAN DOCTOR

This he meant, firmly, and was glad
of it, with heart UNNECESSARILY light

tune that the unknown womans voice
had set buZzing in his brain, and

He laughed softly, in high feather
with his conceit; and, thinking cheer
fully of the days of movement and
cnange that were to follow, the song
in his heart shaped itself in words
upon his lips.

His voice was by way of being a

fictitious, irresistible. For as he
paused the voice of the woman that

the verse neatly.

the next window was darkened; the

He heard faint rustic of silken ruff

an agony of ticipation-"herself and
none other, And I'm thinking she'll

He was right. Abruptly he discov-

TAKE PART IN POLITICS.

1t doesn't do the country any good
for the discontented voter to spend
eleven months swearing at the ad-
ministration if he fOrgets to vote on
election day. There are plenty of
evils in modern politics. There are
clerking in somebody's store. We
agree with the drygoods-box states
men on many of these points. but do
insist that the fault lies with the
voter
Whether we follow the direct pri-
mary or the convention system. the
direct primary prevailing in Missouri,
the responsibility is the same. 1t is
at the primaries that the boss gets in
his work. 1t was argued that when
the direct primary succeeded the old
ward primaries and subsequent con-
ventions. political ills would be no
more. This has not proved entirely
true. for there has been an apathy in
Missouri primaries that is somewhat
disheartening.
On the basis that the sins of omis-
sion are as bad as those of commits
sion, the voter who fails to go to the
primary or to the election polls is a
partner of the boss. If politics are
dirty, decent citizens are to blame.
In a republican form of government
such as this. it is possible to have |
government The only |
way to get it is for every voter to
take part in politics. |
This is presidential election
year. 1t is an excellent time for the
.oter who has stayed out of politics
o get into the game. The results
will justify the experiment.

SOCIETY AND THE CRIMINAL.

Governor Hadley has parOled q
large number of youthful prisoners
from the state penitentiary because
he does not believe that association
with older and hardened criminals is
conducive to their reform.
The Governor says he does not
like to give these prisoners their lib
erty. but there is no intermediate
course. He believes a larger number
will reform than if they were kept in
prison.
Obviously. the penite,tiary and
training schools of the state do not
is a pressing call for an intermedi-
ate detention school.
This institution would be for GRIM
inals too old for state training
schools and too young to be thrown
with the hardened criminals in the
penitentiary. 1t would be the one
where those who give most promise
of reform could he placed.
The prisoners of this class are Or
dinarily first offenders sentenced for
short terms. The future course of
their lives probably will be decided
at the close of the first term.
The state owes it to herself to re-
store as many of these young men to
society as she can.

A VEHICLE TAN.

A vehicle tax in theory is good
thing. Why should not the people
who use the streets be taxed for
their upkeep?
AS it now is. street which has
been damaged by the heavy traffic
must be repaired by the property
owned along it, This is not just. say
the advocates of the vehicle tax. The
owners of the vehicles should pay
for at least part of the upkeep.
No one will deny that they should.
But as soon as one attempts to put
this theory into practice grave diff
ficulties arise. for it is practically i'm
possible to apportion vehicle tax
justly.
There is only one way to do it,
and that is according to the kind
of vehicle. Ii is impossible to take
into consideration the owners abil-
ity to pay.
Heavy wagons will have to be
treated as one class. pleasure vehi-
cles as another. Would any one as
