Temple crossed with the letter over
to his big safe, then paused
"Hang my memory" he said. If I
haven't forgotten the combinatio as

When Anna Granger entered, calm,
businesslike as ever, neither of the
men got hint of the way in which
her nerves were tingling nor Of the
volcano of emotion raging back of
those quiet gray eyes.

Miss Dale, but, you see. once more that

When the door had closed behind the
men Anna stood for a second stock
still, the pupils of her eyes blackening
strangely. OF vital Importance! TEN
pies words rang in her ears. It prob
ably meant her husbands freedom, her
children's inheritance. Should she?
Gould she? Wasn't this just what she
had come for? ''1'll get it for you,
Robert" she said.
Throwing back her slender shout
ders, as a strong swimmer to breast the
waves, she dropped on her knees be-
side the safe and rapidly worked the
combination. She drew out the let
ter. Still kneeling, she raised it so
that the light from the window fell
across it.
At first Roberts we'll known chirog-

read his words, but all too soon the

SEWING ROOM
Hook and Eve Hints.

When saving hooks and eyes on
the placket of a skirt, sew one pair
at the very bottom, fasten and crush
them fiat. This will keep the placket
from tearing or ripping at the end.
On a wash dress, the eyes should be
seWed on the upper flap and the
hooks on the lower instead of the
usual way The top flap can then
be ironed fiat without the little Jumps
left by ironing over hooks. In work
ing on heavy materials alternate
hooks and eyss; first an eye and then
hook on one flap, with first hook
and then an eye on the other. This
method will hold the dress shut, and
save you from much discomfort and

A short time ago the Women's Politi.

and she received the money.
When interviewed later Mary said
she had become interested in votes fol
women through the parade last yeai
and that she had then decided to study
up the subject She became convinced
that it was right for women to nave
the ballot. although her parents ar
not much interested in the subject OF
suffrage. Here is one of the reasons
she gave for wishing the ballot:
because women are human beings
They have each Il soul and q brain as

therefore as clever and noble minded
as men, Yet they are not allowed the
same rights that men have. why!

RACE SUICIDE.

The people who are maintain
ing the human race today are
the barbarianS. the half civilized
and the ignorant and brutaliZed
people, not the people that have
inherited the wealth. the morals,
the knowledge and the advan-
tages of civilization. The human
race of the future will not be
the desceE iantS of the people
that we now regard as superior.
A great many persons have an
idea that If every family has two
children that will maintain the
race. 1t won't. Every family
must have an average of four
plus two, because you have to
allow for the children that die in
infancy, those who do not marry
and those who do, but have no
children. Those who have fam
lily Of less than that number are
not maintaining the race. 1t Is
perfectly plain the American
race Of the future is not to con-
sist of the posterity of the people
that are doing things today.
Their days are about over.-Pro-
fessor Franklin II. Giddings Of
Columbia University.
