out of doors, and along a winding
path to a little bit of wood. She want
ed to think-to be alone. She would
have been afraid sometimes, but in the
stress of her feeling she forgot fear.
In her white dress she almost ran away
from that garden where William was
walking with Nan. She was sure he
no longer cared.
And as she walked John Carey came
ed like a refuge. She stopped short
and stared at him in the dim twilight.
He came closer, and in a moment
snatched her hands.
Look here, Florrie, haven't you

into her face. He knew that now she
was sincere, that the sweetness of his
hope was finished. He knew when
he was beaten.

Florrie. Goodby." He walked away
from her. Going blindly up to the first
comforting tree, she put up her arms
against it's trunk and leaned her face
against them. She knew now what she
wanted and with the tragedy of youth
suffered. She had deliberately killed
Williams love. No wonder he had
turned to Nan-Nan was prettier and
younger-and Nan was kind! Kindness
suddenly seemed a great and beautiful
quality, a womanly quality.
After little while she heard a
step and turned to see a tall man
fastening toward her. He didn't come
very close. She put her face down
again on her arms and told William
Randolph to go right away and let her
alone. She felt she could not stand
seeing him. But he laughed.
Carey came to the garden and told
me that you had sent him away-for
good. He said you-wanted me. He
said you-loved me! He was very posi-
tive about it, Florrie." He waited a
moment and she did not answer, so he
continued. Now 1 had begun to be
perfectly sure that you did not want
me. If you-do, here 1 am. I haven't
changed. But I-shall not beg. If
you do love me-you must-say so. Do

An hour later they came to the
porch where Nan sat in the moon

rose to go in.

EVENING CHAT
The "Tn-Law" Problem.
BIZ EVTA CAMERON.

When the average person talks about
the mother-in-law problem what does
he mean?
Why, he means the difficulties
which arise between a man and his
wife's mother, doesn't he?
Now of course since the masculine
is the more important sex, this must
naturally be considered the more i'm
portant phase of the question. Never
theless there are two parties to most
marriages, and the wife does acquire
some relatiVes-in-law as well as the
husband. Therefore 1 don't really see
why a little attention shouldn't be paid
to the mother-in-law problem from
the wifes point of view.
And yet since the world began, the
word "mother-in-law'' has primarily
called up the other phase of the ques-
ton. L have just laid down paper
in which there was a joke about
Adams good luck in not having a
mother-in-1aw. Needless to say, the
fact that Eve had as much reason for
rejoicing is not commented upon.
And so it goes everywhere.
Someone may suggest that this, is
because wives get along better with
their mother-in-law than husbands. If
they do, it is simply because women
are more in the habit of patiently en-
during all sorts of crosses than men.
It certainly is not because the hus-
bands mother is less apt to interfere
than the wife'S.
My own observation want it most
emphaticaIly understood that 1 am not
referring to any personal experience
has certainly shown me far more cases
in which the husbands mother made
life miserable for the wife.
And isn't it more natural that the
husbands mother should interfere !?
There are more points of contact and
hence of disagreement between two
women and a man. The husband 9
mother sees a woman ministering to
her sons material comfort, managing
q home for him and holding first place
in his heart, three things which she
used to do, and consequently she IS
likely to give advice about the first
two things, and be jealous of the third.
The wife's mother, on the other
hand, has never supported her daugh-
ter nor stood at the head of her
daughter's home, nor been her daugh-
tiers ideal man. And hence she is
not likely to try to show the son-in-
law how to try to do the first two
things, or to be jealous Of his place in
her daughters heart.
Mind you, I an not attempting to
say that husbands mothers are al
WAYS disagreeable, interfering crea-
lures, and wives mothers always SEN
sible and kindly. OF course there are
selfish and unselfish women in both
classes just as there are everywhere
in the world. 1 am merely trying to
point out that wives have just as much
of a mother-in-1aw problem as hus-
bands and that they deserve just as
much sym patty. In fact, since sIIch
large arrears are due them, L think
thew deserve a great deal more.

IF Maurice Mclaughlin justifies the ex-

tennis will be given more notice In THIS
country than ever before.
It's popularity is rising steadily, aside
from the special interest attached to
the brilliant work of the American
champion in the tournament now III

so clean and fine, the exercise it gives
is so good and the opportunities it at

Lawn tennis is one of the games which
are in no danger of being pushed aside.

KANSAS COlGAENT
PLENTY OF GAS


And now the state receivers of the
kansas Natural Gas company report
that there is plenty of gas obtainable
and that, if they are allowed full con-
troll they will get the gas and furnish
it to the consumers at present prices.
1t will be indeed fortunate If these
receivers do not have a chance to
make their words good. 1t will be
misfortune to the gas consumers OF
the state if they are not provided with
sufficient gas next winter; it will be
misfortune for the gas company
that it is so mismanaged, and especial
ly will 1T be unfortunate if the people
are made to feel that the United
States court stands in the way of their
getting what they are entitled to.
Judge Pollock should speedily find
some way to relieve the situation and
give these state receivers a chance to
do what they say they can do. There
is a general impression abroad that
there is an abundance of gas to be
had, that there was no necessity for
the appointment of receivers in the
first place but that it was done solely
for the purpose of relieving the COM
pany of contracts that stood in the
way of their raising rates that were
already sufficiently high. The public
may be wrong about this but the only
way to convince it that the United
States court and the gas company were
right is to open the way for the state
receivers to do their best. If they fail
the federal court and the company
will be vindicated.-Leavenw

FROM OTHER PENS
STRATEGY IN NEWTON.

Much as it may seem desirable to
say as little as possible concerning the
sale of liquor in the delightful and al
most perfect suburban city of Newton,
it is necessary to call attention, for
the purpose of instructing the public,
to the somewhat novel method adopt
ed in one of the Newton villages-it
matters little which one-for supply
ing alcoholic stimulants to those who,
dwelling in a prohibitory municipal
ity, are afflicted with a fully devel-
oped license thirst.
According to the carefully kept
records of the Newton court, the
pony express is not relied upon ex-
clusively for the purposes of trans
porting Illicit drinks. A woman of
that town was arrested and fined for
carrying liquors in a baby carriage
to her select and appreciative pa
irons. Policemen on the beat tipped
their hats to her as she trundled the
vehicle along, in the bright, clear
mornings, with blankets covering the
freight and with nothing showing to
justify suspicion.
And how is the little one today?"
the gentlemanly officer of the law
would inquire.
"A little stronger, thank you"
would be the appreciative reply.
In view of the resources which
Newton has for obtaining what it
wants, either by pony, prescription or
pera bulator, there would seem to be
no fear that in the near future New
ton will stain it's 'scutcheon by voting
Yes on the license Question.-Boston
