CHAPTER XIV.
A CONFESSION.

1t was Peggte who, after some hours
anxious watching, opened the door
without waiting for Prue's knock. She
had long ago persuaded the sleepy and
unFeluctant James to retire to bed and
settling herself beside the dim lamp
with a book, uncomplainingly resigned
herself to a tedious and solitary vigil.
She had passed an evening not with
out excitement, for her grandmother's
searching and persistent inquiries into
Prue's mysterious behavior were not to
be evaded and some kind Of explana~
ton vas inevitable, So, ingeniously
substituting Captin de Cliffe, the ennis
sary Of King James, for Captain Free
mantle, the highwayman, Peggie ad-
mitted that Prue and he had met "in
the north" that after his arrest she had
visited him in Newgate prison and thai
although now an outlaw and fugitive
stepped in Jacobite plots and charged
with state secrets and compromising
documents, he had played an important
part in her recovery Of the queens
necklace. In fact, she had contrived,
without desperately straining the truth,
to surround Robin with an aura OF
heroism and loyalty that had enlisted
the old countess sympathy for him,
almost to the extent of preparing her
to sanction Prue's marriage.

All the World a Neiehborhood.

AA'NS
Twice the past week has come news Of
steps taken 20 girdDe the world with speech
and in this way make Manila or Mel
bourne or Mandalay as neighborly to
Washington as Baltimore Is today. Only,
instead of the telephone. the cable and
wireless are to be relied upon to bring
about this anniversary intimacy.
First came the announcement that a
way had been found to adapt the Morse
telegraph code to submarine communica-
ton SO as TO make 1t possible to send word
by cable direct, say, from Boston to st.
Petersburg or Honolulu, or, If desirable,
clear around the world. Now, only a few
lays later, comes news that the American
and Russian governments are arranging
TO establish a wireless service across Ber-
ing sea. which would form a new Connec-
ton between the old world and the new
and which would complete the wireless
girdle round the globe.
Ten years age either one of these
achievements would have been included
among the list of improbabilities. to say
the least. But now both are accepted as
part OF the days work. improvements
both small and epoch-making, develop so
fast nowadays that the world hardly has
time to discuss them. 1t simply adopts
them and wonders what will develop next.
What next? Well, transcontinental tele-
phone service. Why not?

A Business Survey"
From The Survey.

DelaVan, Wis. was q dead" town. A
visiting minister suggested a commun-
ity survey" so a map was prepared
that showed every farm house within
five miles of DelaVan. Every house
was then checked off on the map In
accordance with it's relations to Della
van in one or another Of these eight
connections. A line drawn on the map
so as to enclose the most distant farms
having a particular community inter-
est with the village thus disclosed not
only the extent Of that interests infiu-
ence, but the gaps and weak spots in
1t.
The grocery and dry goods store in
fiuenCes were foun dto extend the far
thest in every direction, and to be near
ly coextensive. Just inside these lines
came that OF the bank, with the milk
factory line following 1t closely. except
for occasional breaks. The line of in
fiuence Of the Delavan churches was
broken, as was expected, by the pres
ence OF several churches in smaller viii
lagos within the general sphere Of in
fiuence. A striking diagram was form
ed by the line marking the boundaries
OF the public library's activity. 1t ra-
dated in long star-points with wide
blank space between them. Investi-
cation disclosed whole communities OF
Norwegians n other English
speaking people in the blank spaces,
and steps were Immediately taken to
provide books In their mother tongues
for these families and to establish
branch library centers in other weak

A Revival in Spelling.

From the st. Joseph News-Press.
Chicago has taken the cue from Missouri
and has revived the spelling bee. These
bees" are to be held twice a week in
Chicago social centers and are to be con-
Quoted under the direct patronage Of the
mayor, judges and other citizens who
have won distinction in various ways. II
not as photographed experts.
The study of spelling has had its ups
and downs of popular favor. Once 1t
seemed to be felt that children would alb
sorb spelling with the air of the school
house. Just now there Is some revival OF
interest in good photography. All kinds of
educational short cuts are continually be-
ing tried with the feeling that somehow
time can be saved, the clock can be cheat
ed, and one or two extra ranch of
study can be crammed down the Juvenile
throat.
A poorly spelled business letter strikes
you like the shabby suit Of clothes worn
by the stranger. The man who wrote II
may be able to make good, but the bad
spelling carries a suggestion OF incompe-
tency. A badly spelled social letter gives
the feeling of slovenliness, and you can
almost imagine the writer wearing the
latest Paris styles but failing to keep her
face clean.
The trouble Is not so much with the long
words that you have to look up In the
dictionary anyway 1t Is with the little
tricky short words, the never puzzling
questions like whether 1t Is lei" or 'ie.
Let the revival OF spelling proceed. 1t Ia
a good thing.

A Fighting President.
From the Kansas city star

The American people seem to have
elected another fighting president. In
his statement, Mr.. Wilson challenges
the enemies Of the public welfare, and
made his appeal directly to the people.
1t is h right sort OF talk. There is
no use fooling with the Tory forces,
They must be fought. Apparently the
president realizes that. He isn't afraid
governor has proved he isn't afraid of
the real thing.
People like the leadership Of a fight
ing man. They showed this by their
confidence in Cleveland and Roosevelt,
Wilson can depend on the same back
ing II he makes the same fight for the
square, deal that they made. A presi-
dent Of the Cleveland Roosevelt type is
hat this nation has been looking for.
In the last campaign Roosevelt had
the support of 1000, 900 voters who be
lieved in the things he stood for. This
powerful militant force belongs to any

ASoUITH SEES PERlLS
OF OUR CONSTITUTION

Asquith on the Constitution OF the United
States. In The outlook.
Reluctant as he was to seem to say
a word in d1sparagement of American
institutions, Prime Minister Asquith
nevertheless criticised our constitution
sharply in the m He would
have none Of its ''ambiguities," he said,
in the hom rule bill. Look at the
adjectives used in the American con-
stitution, he bade the house of COM
mons. What is cruel and unusual?"
What Is equal protection Of the lawsf'
What Is Just compensation?" In every
guarantee of a right by the American
constitution, complained Mr.. Asquith,
YOU have adjectiveS. IT Is not h prac-
tice Of the British democracy to sub
NIT the meaning Of such adjectives to
the decision of a court. The British
democracy will decide for itself what
these adJectives mean and compel the
courts to accept It's definitions. They
are really matters of opinion" went
on the prime minister amid the APP
plause of the Irish, they are matters
Of bias, or inclination. or judgment,
which cannot be acted upon by any
thing like settled rules of law as to
equality y or fairness-sonle abstract,
some probably very varying standard
OF fairness or equality he's or has not
been observed" TO insert such ven
eralities into the home rule bill invites
for h decisions of the Irish courts
the same disrespect with which the de-
cisions Of American courts are received.
The experience of the United States
with its federal courts should make
the commons very chary, concluded Mr..

Eighteen OF the 81 president OF the
United States la been college grad

son, Miami university, 1853; Theodore
Roosevelt, Harvard, 1880; w. H. Taft,
Yale. 1878: Woodrow Wilson, Prince
ton, 1879.
William and Mary has given the
country three presidents, Harvard
three n Princeton two. Grant was
the only n OF the presidents having
military experience, who was graduated
from a military school.
Presidents who were not college
graduates were Washington, Jackson,
Van. Buren,. Taylor, Fillmore, Lincoln,
Johnson, Cleveland and Mckinley.
While two in this latter list are ac-
counted the two greatest presidents,
the predominance Of college men in the
total list OF the nations chief execu-
ttveS as we'll as among statesmen gem
orally renders 1t apparent that the no.
ton OF Horace Greeley and some other
men Of prominence that college train
Ing Is a detriment Is not we'll founded.
A former president Of the New York
Central railroad said that men who
climb high on the ladder of fame with
out college training overcome a serious
handicap and that their greatness
would be vastly augmented II they
were college graduates. There Is room
for speculation, however, as to whether
this would have proven true in the
cases Of Washington and Lincoln.
