memory of that-er-of that dead
friend. The friend is dead. you under
stand. yes, dead"
Mrs. Gregory could not understand
her husbands unaccustomed hesitan-
cy. She inquired of Fran. "And is
your mother dead. too, little girl?"
That simple question, innocently
preferred, directed the course of fu-
ture events. Mr. Gregory had not in.
tentionally spoken of his friend in
such way as 10 throw doubt upon the
sex. Now that he realized how his
wife's misunderstanding might save
him, he had not the courage to unde-
ceive her.
Fran waited for him to speak. The
delay had lost him the power to re-
veal the truth. Would Fran oetray
him? He wished that the thunder
might drown out the sound OF her
words, but the storm seemed holding
its breath to listen.
Fran said quietly. my mother died
three years ago."
Mrs. Gregory asked her husband.
Did you ever tell me about this
friend? I'd remember from his name;
what was it?"
1t seemed impossible for him 10 ut
ter the name which had sounded from
his lips so often in love. He opened
his lips. but he could not say Jose
phine." Besides, the last name would
do. Derry" he gasped.
Come here, Fran Derry" said Mrs.
Gregory, reaching out her hand, with
that sweet smile that somehow made
Fran feel the dew of tears.
Hamilton Gregory plucked up spir-
it's. Il couldn't turn away the daugh-
ter of my old friend. You wouldn't
want me to do that. None of you
would. Now that I've explained ev-
erything, hope there'll be no objec-

that is, if she wants to stay. She has

Mrs. Gregory slipped her arm about
the independent shoulders, and drew
the girl down beside her upon divan.

are the very first of all his New York
friends who has come into my life?
Indeed, I am willing, and indeed you
shall stay with us, just as long as you
will"
Fran asked impulsively. as she
clasped her hands, "Do you think you
could like me? Could-you?"
Dear child"-the answer was &C.

friend. That's enough for me. You

Tears dimmed Fran's eyes. And

Fran less than ever. but her look was

but almost at once her face resumed
its wonted gravity. Perhaps the
slight hollows in the cheeks had been
pressed by the fingers of care, but it
was rather lack of light than presence
of shadow, that told Fran something
was missing from the woman-heart.

His Honor Was Safe.

Chief Justice Isaac Russell Of the
court Of special sessions tells how he
went to the city hall to call on the
mayor on a rainy day, and as he was
leaving the building he slipped and
bumped all the way down the stone
steps. A man rushed up. helped him
to his feet and asked:
'Ts your honor hurt?"
NO" replied the Judge; my honor
to be jarred."-New York Sun.

Her words came bitingly: "Ycu

Il can help it, and l will. The past
is no more mine than hers-our mar
riage was legal, but it bound me no
more than it bound her. She chose
her own companions. l have been
building up respectable life, here in
Littleburg. You shall not overturn
the labor of the last ten years. You
can go. My will is unalterable Go
and do what you cant"
Instead of anger, Fran showed sor-
row: How long have you been mar
ried to the second Mrs. Gregory-the
present one?"
He turned his back upon her as II
to go to the door, but he wheeled
about: Ten years. You understand?
Ten years of the best work of my life

duct of the farm, the duties have

AS a return for this the claim is
made that the reduction on agricul.
ture implements and other articles
which the farmer is compelled to pur.
chase, will compensate him for his
loss. This also remains to be seen.
Our prediction is that the farmers

sation whatever, and shall see what

Greatest of Public Questions.

The Tariff question to-day is the
greatest public question in America.
1t is the one great question that ef-
fects all the people. We have tried
the Tariff for revenue only, and that
landed us on the rock of failure,
while the Tariff Protection policy
has been, and is to-day, the great
incentive for the prosperity enjoyed
by the people. II the Democrats will
to put on to the country the ideas
for revenue only, and disaster follows
as 1t probably will. for there Is no
reason to believe that II will .forsake
its way Of doing things of the past.
then the Democratic National supre-
macy will naturally take a tumbling,
as in the days of 1893 to SO. Tariff
for revenue only and Free-T Trade are
beautiful things to talk about. but
dangerous to put In operation, such
have been their record In the past.
and such necessarily they, will be II

THE PROPOSED TARIFF LAW.

The new Democratic Tariff Law
upon which the House Ways and
Means Committee or the majority
members, thereof, have been working
many weeks, was presented in Con-
gress Monday by Chairman Under
wood. 1t is a straddle as far as Free
Trade and Protection is concerned.
1t places many articles upon the free
list, principally farm products. which
have been given protection by the Re-
publicans and materially reduces the
The Louisville Courier-Journal says
it is neither free trade nor protection,
while English newspapers hail it
with delight, announcing that it will
increase British trade and give more
work for English workingmen. The
narrow margin of only six in the
Senate renders it uncertain as to
whether or not it can pass through
that body unscathed. While the ire
mendous majority in the House al
most assures it's passage by that
body as reported. The sugar Sena-
tors and wool Senators are disposed
to kick over the traces and may force
concessions in the Senate. While
farm products are almost all placed
upon the free list or reduced at least

by the Democrats, as was claimed
for the Canadian Reciprocity Bill.
that it will not hurt the farmers,
but is intended to lower the price of

FUSION In OHIO COUNTY.

In Ohio county, Ky, the Democrats
are normally a minority party, but
in the election of 1912 Mr.. Wilson
polled more votes than either Mr..
Roosevelt or Mr.. Taft. although the
united vote of Roosevelt and Taft
was some hundreds in excess Of that
of Mr.. Wilson.
From the vote of 1912 1t was easy
to demonstrate that IL fusion was not
arranged the Democrats would get
all the county. offices in 1913. The
Republicans and Progressives have az
cordingly held conferences, agreed on
fusion ticket and adopted a plat
form upon which their candidates will
make the race. All of this was done
after only two or three weeks of ne
gotiations and without the aid or
consent of any nation upon the earth.
The most instructive part of the
proceedings in Ohio county, how
ever, is not the fusion that has been
arranged, or the candidates. but the
declaration of principles upon which
the two parties have been brought to-
gether. This platform would occupy
column or more in this paper, and,
while most Of it is excellent, only
few sections need attention.
There is at the beginning a declara-
ton in favor Of the initiative, referen-
dunn and recall. We suppose this was
put in to please the Progressives
There is not the remotest probability
of any of these devices being adopt
ed in Kentucky in the near future.
All the rest of the platform IL time
ly. The Ohio county fusionists de-
mand the abolition III the obsolete
Fiscal Court form OF county govern
n,ent and for other local reforms Of
value. The fusion candidate for the
Legislature il instructed, IL elected,
to introduce a law inside the State
of Kentucky, to amend the direct
| primary act SO as to get rid of its
vicious measures, to repeal the obi
GUS registration act. and to- creste
State Public Utility Commission.
The passage of the act creating
Confederate pensions is condemned
for the reason that no money was
voted to carry out Its provisions
and the executive officers are censur-
ed for not taking action either to
provide money to pay those pensions
or to secure the repeal of the act.
1t is not denied that certain good
things have been done by the pres
ent State administration. but the
Ohio county fusionists end their re-
view of conditions in Kentucky with
the following comment:
I'VE condemn the unanimous ten
dency of the State officials, from the
Governor down, TO play politics by
looking ahead for some other job,
instead OF looking after the vital in
terests Of the people of the State,
whom they are sworn to serve.
In this criticism many Democrats
will join. But this feature usually
characterizes political life in Frank
fort 1T matters little which party is
dominant. The fact of importance In
this movement is that the Progress
sives of Ohio county pay no atten-
ton whatever to the daily instruc-
tions from Louisville, conveyed by
the Herald from the local Progress
sive Club. "-Evening Post.
