MRS. BURNETT's MYSTERY.
The Unsoived Enigma of the Letter on
Her Writing Desk.

The Unsoived Enigma of the Letter on
Her Writing Desk.
Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett told
4 true story which she called The
Mystery Of My Life" And truly 1t 10
o mystifying occurrence.
1t was some time ago, while she was
living in England. One night she and
q friend were spending quiet evening
by the FIRE, chatting and reading. Mrs
burnett's friend. be 1t understood, sat
throughout the event in an armchair
by the fire and did not leave her place
until all was over, so that, as In the
case of conjurers, there could have
been mo deception" OH her part.
Mrs. Burnett went in the course of
the evening to her desk and wrote a
letter. She signed, folded, directed.
sealed and stamped 1t and stood 1t up
against a silver cigarette box on the
center table. Then she arose to go
and sit by the FIRE again.
Presently, wishing the letter posted,
she started to take steps toward hav-
ing It mailed. She looked for it on
the center table, and the letter was
not there. She looked all over the
table In vain. She rubbed her eyes
and looked again. She knew she had
stood that letter up against the silver
cigarette box. but 1t was not there.
No one had entered the room; no one
had left II. Her friend had sat motion
less by the fire.
Mrs. Burnett said to herself: II
know--sometimes ones eyes are held.
A thing may be staring one straight
In the face and not be seen 1t may
seem to be masquerading as something
elser And she began Systematically
examining each object on the table
separately. picking It up, naming 1t
and betting 1t down again, to make
sure that 1t was itself and not the
letter.
'Is this the letter? No; this is a
Dresden china bonbon dish. Is this
III No; this Is a brass candlestick,
this is a magnlfylng glass, this is an
ivory paper cutter, this is a carved
wooden box, this is rose jar, this Is
an ash receiver, and this, finally, is a
silver cigarette box, and there is moth
ing else on the table, and there is
neither hide nor hair of letter to be
seenr'
Completely at loss, Mrs. Burnett
strolled about the room to examine
other possible surfaces where the let
ter might have been placed had 1t not
emphatically and Enthusiastically been
put upon the center table against the
cigarette box. She searched on the
mantelpiece. on her desk. on the piano
on the bookcase-no letter. In dlscour.

IMPORTANCE OF

Governor Forts Call TO Duty to

OLD PARTIES BOTH TAINTED.

Progressive Candidates.
BY JOHN FRANKLIN FORT.

BY JOHN FRANKLIN FORT.
1t is seldom II ever In the history OF
q country that citizen can do as much
by single vote as Is possible to be
done this year. A vote next Tuesday
can be made to destroy bossism In both
the old parties and defeat the control
by the special interests of the nation.
The Progressive party IL a new, clean,
fresh start In the political life OF the
republic Its success means the over
throw OF all old political conditions and
the starting anew along popular lines.
1t means the bringing In Of an equal
opportunity for every man and woman
In the nation. Is there any citizen who
does not think that 1t would be good
thing for all Of us? Nor Is this all.
The success of the Progressive party
candidates will insure in office men
who will study only the will of the peo-
pie and the betterment of social, polit-
zeal aud economic conditions. Do we
not need such men In office In the ma
ton and our state?
Have we not suffered enough from
men In the halls Of legislation who
never move except they first consult
certain men Identified with certain To-
cal interests or the local political lead
or who represents these men? Your
vote this year can sweep all that away.
There has never been anything like
this campaign. The Progressive party
as concrete organization is the
growth OF the past six weeks. 1t Is a
great party In nation and state, and 1t
10 not the annex OF either the Repub-
lean or Democratic party. Certain old
party leaders have tried to make 1t
such as to our state ticket, but they
have failed Notwithstanding their
scheming both with us and the old par
ties. We are new party--not Repub-
licans, not Democrats. but made up
from all parties into new. strong
lighting force, knowing nothing except
loyalty to the great principles of our
platform adopted at Chicago, which is
our covenant with the people,"
Let every voter forget everything on
next Tuesday except that he is a citi-
zen OF a great country founded solely
upon the welfare of the individual man

and woman within 1t. A better na-
ton, better state. better local gov

The success of Roosevelt and John
son and the Progressive candidates for
congress and the Legislature In this
state means more for you, my fellow
citizens, than any political event that
has ever happened in your day.
Do not fail to vote for the full Pro
gressive ticket. A Progressive victory
will not only be good for the nation,
but for every man, woman and child
within the nation.
