Each of the thirty-two distinctive
reforms declared for in the platform
of the Progressive party last fall
will be placed before Congress at
the coming session in separate
bill Whether these measures can
be forced to an issue during the
special session depends upon
whether that is confined to consid-
GRAFTON of the tariff.
1t is the program of the Pro-
gressives, however, to force all
members of Congress to put them
selves on record qn the proposed
policies and principles of the new
party at the earliest possible mo-
ment, and the attitude taken by
members of other parties on these
issues will be made the basis of the
campaign to be carried on by the
Progressiyes for election of mem
bers of Congress next year.
Bull Moose Reforms.
Among the prominent reforms to
be urged by the Progressives, and
for which bills will be introduced,
are Federal prohibition of child

She tells her she must confess all
to the young man. Then is revealed
the tragic fact that Nita had been ten
years in prison for the supposed muir
der of her husband. But the faith
of the lover is not shaken Nita
had been virtually sold to a
creature of the type so powerfully
painted by Restif de la Bretonne in
Les Contemporaries by her own
mother. She escaped contamination
through the faithful Sarah, and the
wealthy, but vile, old Jew dies under
such suspicious circumstances that
she is at once charged with his MUIR
der. She escapes the last penalty
only through her youth and the
superhuman efforts of Sarah. AS she
tells all this to her lover she sees that
his ardor only grows, and secretly
she determines to save him from the
stain of a marriage with her by her
obstruction. AS she meditates
upon her design she hears her
lover and Sarah conversing in a
sheltered clump of trees. This
is the climax of the tale.
To the lover Sarah confesses that

But instead of being the one to adj
minister poison to the vile husband

imagined she had seen Sarah herself
give the deadly tiraught as she stood
before the victims bed. clad in a
gray gown. The woman's motive had
been to rid her beloved foster child
of horrible incubus. But when,
through the energy of the law and
the false testimony of valet. she
saw death and the gibbet facing her.

his own, despair and terror called
aloud to him. His shaking hand
dropped to his side, and then like some
pale ghost, he passed slowly before
the eager eyes that were following his
every movement to his place behind
the fiat-topped desk on the raised
dais.
AS he sank into his chair he turned
to the clerk of the court and there
was a movement of his thin lips, but
no sound passed them. Brockett
guessed the order he had wished to
give, and the big key slid around in
the old fashioned lock of the jury
room door. Heavy-visaged and hest
tating, the twelve men filed into
court, and at sight of them John
North's heart seemed to die within
his breast. He no longer hoped nor
doubted, he knew their verdict-he
was caught in some intricate web of
circumstance! A monstrous injustice
was about to be done him, and in the
very name of justice itself!
The jurors, awkward In their self
consciousness, crossed the room and,
as intangible as it was potent, a
wave of Horror went with them.
There was a noisy scraping of chairs
as they took their seats, and then a
deathlike silence.
The clerk glanced up inquiringly
into the white face that was bent on
him. A scarcely perceptible inclina-
ton Of the head answered him and

"The Life Mask"

"The Life Mask"
The Life Mask" is true work of
the Imagination. The book will be
best understood OF that great mass
of humanity who carry a life-mask.
Fidelity, passionate love, suffering,
but above all cowardice, inherent,
ingrained, uncomfortable cowardice,
are portrayed with master hand.
The opening scenes of the story are
laid in the fairyland of the Alham-
bra. The enchanting atmosphere and
glamour of this spot enchain the
mind of the reader. The, shadow in
the book is delicately limited at but
not sufficiently to darlxen the pleas
ure of being borne to his region OF a
wondrous and romantic past. Then
comes the entrance Of love. Where

CHAPTER XIII.
The Last Appeal.


NNE raw morning late in April,
~ Mark Leanard, who worked at
Kirby's undergrad, drove his
team of big grade Percherons up to
Kirby's office by the railroad tracks.
What's doing?" he asked of Kir-
by's clerk.
The clerk handed him slip of pa
per
Go round and tell Mitchell to get
you out this load!'' he said
Leanard went off whistling, with
the order slip tucked back of his hat
band. In the yard Mitchell, the
foreman, gave him a load "of sixteen
foot" pine boards and two by fours"
Where to?" the driver asked, as
he took his seat on top the load
To the Jail, they're going to fence
the yard
You mean young John North?"
That's what-did you think you'd
set day off and take the old woman
and the kids?" asked Mitchell.
1t was a little past eight when the
teamster entered the alley back OF the
Jail and began to unload. The fall OF
the first heavy plank took John North
to his cell window. For a long
GREATNESS moment he stood there
peering down into the alley, then he
turned away.
All that day the teams from kirbys
continued to bring lumber for the
fence, and at intervals North heard
the thud of the heavy planks as they
were thrown from the wagons, or the
voices of the drivers as they urged
their horses up the steep grade from
the street. Darkness came at last
and with it unbroken quiet, but in his
troubled slumbers that night the con-
demned man saw the teams come and
go, and heard the fall of the planks.
1t was only when the dawn's first I'M
certain light stole into thel cell that a
dreamless sleep gave him complete
forgetfulness.
From this he was presently reused
by hearing the sound of voices in the
yard, and then the sharp ringing
blows of a hammer. He quilted his
bed and slipped to the window; two
carpenters had already begun build
ing the frame work that was to carry
the temporary fence which would in
close the place of execution. 1t was
his fence; it would surround his gal
lows that his death should not be-
come public spectacle.

To Relieve Congestion.


To the Editor of the Evening Star
The congestion at the -Four Cor
ners'' can be relieved by an order
from the traction company. The
first lesson that soldier gets is to
keep his distance when marching
Cars on the same track cannot pass
each other. Divide the length of the
route by the number of cars on the
line which gives the distance they
should be apart. Make them keep
their distance.
When the car ahead stops the
motorman can see it, and he can
stop his car until the car ahead
starts, thus keeping his distance, and
the passenger will get to his des-
tination just as quick and it will ac-
commodate the public with more
regular time table.
The cars would then reach the
-Four Corners in regular order, the
same as they do in other cities.

LITERARY NOTES.
Snme Irish wit.

Sir Gilbert Parker's eminence in
political circles is as great as his
eminence in literary circles He is d
member of the Unionist party in the
House of Commons, and he is as
popular as man as he is valuable
as a fellow partisan. One of the
points of his popularity is that he can
see joke upon himself as well as
upon another. This is illustrated by
a recent incident in the House, when
Sir Gilbert had made a speech about
Ireland, to which Mr.. Lardner was
