CHAPTER WI.
The Beauty Of Elizabeth,

TITS Interview with Evelyn Lang
I'll ham left North With a sense
of moral nausea. yet he felt
he had somehow failed in his COM
prehension of her. that sine had not
meant him to understand her as he
had: that, after all, perhaps the sig
nificance he had given TO her words
was of his own imagining.
He waited in his room until she
should have time to be well on her
way home, then hurried downstairs.
He was TO dine at the Herberts' at
seven O'clock and as their place was
but scant two miles from town, he
determined to walk. He crossed the
Square, only stopping to speak with
the little lamplighter, and twenty
minutes later Mount Hope, in the
cold breath of the storm, had dwin-
died TO a huddle of faint ghostly
lights on the hillside and in the
valley.

suddenly the town alarm bell rings out
violently.
John North is sitting at his window
musing on the futllity Of his past. 1t Is
Thanksgiving Day. North sees Marshall
Langham enter his office across the street
and goes there. He tells Bangham that
he intends to sell the last ten bonds
thai he holds to Archibald Mcbride, Il
local shopkeeper. and leave the town.
Langham invites North TO come 70 his
home. for dinner, as his wife, Evelyn
Lnngham, formerly a sweetheart of
Nortbs, has just returned. North de-
clines. lie goes to McBride's shop to
dispose of his bonds, and when he re-
turns TO his room he finds woman wait
ing for him.
She eonfesses that She is unhappily
married and begs North to renew his at
tentions TO her. He refuses and sends
her away. Meanwhile. at Langham' S
office, Andy Gilmore. an INSCRIPTIONS
gambler, who has, Langham in his
clutches, demands that Marsh exert his
influence over Moxlow, the prosecutor
and his law partner. to make things
easier for him to carry ON his gambling
den, and demands that Langham take up
his notes promptly, or lie will ruin him.

in our edition of February %, upon
transformation, made statements
which unjustly reflected upon tho
character of the firm of L. Straus Il
Sons, importers of china and glass;
ware.
The members of this firm have
been well known to the proprietor
of this paper, and they are gentlemen
of the highest mercantile character
and personal integrity. The state-
ment that a case against the firm
for undervaluation was presented 70
the Federal grand jury is absolutely
false. and the further statement that
Oscar S. Straus, formerly a member
of MIR. Roosevelts cabinet and lately
American ambassador to Turkey, has
an interest in the importing firm, IS
also incorrect. as he retired from
business in 1906, and he has no inter-
est in this firm.
We depIore that our Washington
correspondent should have been mis-
led in the making of these unwar-
ranted reflections upon the character
and standing of the well-known firm
of L. Straus & Sons, doubtless upon
information derived from persons
who endea vored by such D1eans TO
serve their own interests and to vent
their hostility by casting aspersions
upon q firm whose character and
standing are beyond rei roach.

uoHN w. KERN, of Indian, will be
the chairman of the Democratic
Senate caucus. The Office in itself
Is unimportant, excepting for the fact
that it makes him the titular leader
of the majority party in the Senate
What is important about it is that
the certainty of Kern's selection as
leader is a reputation of Senator
Martin. of Virginia, and of the old
conservative Southern Democracy
and its ideas.
With William Jennings Bryan in
the Presidents cabinet. and his run
ming mate of 1908 as the majority
leader in the Senate, the radical
forces of Democracy are lined up as
the potent factors in the incoming
administration. The Senate VIII be
radical Even if there are enough of
the Democratic conservatives to re-
fuse to follow radical leadership and
thereby form solid party front on
all questions, there are enough Pro-
gressives and Progressive Republi-
cans equally alienated from their old
rarty affiliations to make the radical
forces dominant in the Senate at all
tunes.
If conservatism aud standpatism is
to have any place in the new admin
istration and Congress it will have
to find it in the House. And 1t is
fact that there are fewer radicals in
the House than in the Senate. Even

maid ushered him into a long
| drawing room, and into the presence
OF the general and his daughter. The
former received North with a per-
ceptible shade of reserve. He knew
more about the young man than he
would have cared to tell his daughter,
since he believed it would be better
for her to make her own discoveries
where North was concerned He had
not opposed his frequent visits to
Idle Hour for he felt that if Eliza
beth was interested in the young
fellow opposition would only
strength it. CHANGING at North as he
greeted Elizabeth, the general adj
mitted that whatever he might be.
he was presentable, indeed good look
ing, handsome. Why hadn't he done
something other than make a mess
OF life! He wondered, too wishing
to be quite fair, if North had not
been the subject of a good deal of
unmerited censure if, after all, his
idleness had not been the worst thing
| about him. He hoped this might be
true. Still he regretted that Eliza
beth should have allowed their boy
and girl friendship--they had known
each other always-to grow into
closer intimacy.
In the minds of these two men
there was absolute accord on one
point. Either would have said that
Elizabeth Herbert's beauty was q
supreme endowment, and more nearly
perfect than the beauty of any other
woman. She was slender, not tall
but poised and graceful with a dis
tinction of bearing that added to her
inches. Her hair was Furnished cop
per and her coIorinS the tint of
warm ivory with the sunlight show
ing through. North gazed at her as
the vision Of her loneliness. Then
they walked out TO the dining-room
The dinner was rather q somber
feast. North felt the restraint of the
generals presence; he sensed his dis
favor; and with added bitterness he
realized that this was his last night
| in Mount Hope, that the morrow
would find him speeding on his way
West. He had given up everything
a hope, great love had come to him.
he must go from this place, the town
of his birth, where he had become
a bankrupt in both purse and reputa-
| ton.
! 1t was relief when they returned
to the drawing There the gen
eral excused himself. and North and
Elizabeth were left alone. She seated
herself before the open fire of blazing
hickory logs, whose light. and that
of the shaded lamps. filed the long
room with soft radiance. She had
never seemed so desirable to North
as now when he was about to leave
her He stood silent, leaning against
| the corner of the chimney-piece
! looking down on all her springllSe
radiance. Usually he was neither
| preoccupied nor silent. but tonight he
was both. The thought that he was
seeing her for the last time--Ah, this
was the price of all his folly! Al
| length he spoke.
II came tonight to say good-by
Elizabeth
! She glanced up. startled.
ITO say good by?" she repeated.
He nodded gloomily.
"Do you mean that you a: e going
to leave Mount Hope she asked
slowly.

Her glance no longer met his, but
he was conscious that she had lost
something of her serenity,

Who'll | find to talk with at this
time of the night?" laughed the
drunken man dersively. It's three
o'clock. Say, Andy. who'll l find to
talk to-"
'By God. | hope no one you fool"
muttered Gilmore.
"Well, give me the keys, Andy.
I'll so along and get to bed, and I
want you TO forget this CONVERSE
ton
ooh. I'll forget it all right, Marsh
but you won't after you come to
your senses'' he added under his
breath
GIVE me the keys-thanks Good
night. Andy! I'll see you in the
morning"
He reeled uncertainty down the
path, cursing his treacherous footing
as he went. At the gate he paused
and waved an unsteady farewell to
the gambler. who stood on the porch
staring after him.

ERN, OF INDIANA TO eEssENATE CAUCUS CHAIRMAN

the Republicans in the Senate have
passed, as a party measure. the La
Toilette bill fixing eight hours as the
maximum days work for women en-
ployed in the District of Columbia.
The bill excludes stenographers en-
p!oyed in Offices, and says nothing
about newspaper women, housekeep-
ers and domestic servants. 1t is up
to the Democratic House to decide
within the next two days whether
this bill shall be made law.

PRAISES 2 JUDGES AND 3
JURlES AS BENEFACTORS


IL we were called on TO name the
two men who rendered the best serY-
ice to the country in the closing
weeks of last year, we should prob
ably have to ruin our chances for
election to Congress. However. We
are not running for Congress and will
name Judge Anderson. of Indianap-
oils, and Judge Golf. of New York
city. If we were called on to name
thirty-si other men who deserve well
of the republic. we should look
through the newspapers and find the
names of the men who sat on the
juries that convicted Becker and the
"gun-men'' in New York and Presi-
dent Ryan and the other dynamiters
in Indianapolis.
None Of these public servants did
anything out of the common. On the
contrary, they stuck in the most
commonplace fashion TO the practise
