CHAPTER xV.
A Wasted Plea.

Grace started guiltily at her hus. bands troubled question. He took her face between his hands and raised it to the light.
 You're ill" he exclaimed in quick dread. You look actually ghastly Shall I send for a doctor?"
 What nonsense!" she laughed I'm all right. Just little tired. A good nights sleep will put me on my feet again"
 I've buried myself so deep in poli- tics,' he frowned self-accusingly, that l hadn't sense enough to remember that you might be worn out and might want to go to bed But I didn't notice that you looked badly at the station. It wasn't till just now when the light happened to strike your face Oh, but I'm glad to see you here again, sweet heart!"
 Really" she asked almost timidly; drinking in her husbands words as a condemned man might gaze on his last sunset
 bIdu H6 CIl6u. llu6eu dLu. I'm afraid I'll never get past the honey moon stage. You don't want me to, do your"
 q wonder" she faltered, "-if you'd never met me-if you'd"
 'T'd never have known what miss. ed. That's where nature is kind. Peo. pie who miss the real love never know We only know when we've found it."
 But" she pursued, when people find out too late-afterward- That's the bitterest thing in life, I should think. It isn't easy to judge people women, especially-who find out toe late-and-and who try then to get their birthright of happiness in spite of everything"
 Such people have lost their birth right" he answered. They've sold 1t for a mess of pottage. That's one of the problems of the ages, Grace

Residents of Mena Cannot Doubt
 What Has Been Twice Proved.

In gratitude for complete relief from aches and pains If bad backs from distressing kidney ills thousands have publicly recom- mended Doan's Kidney Pills. Resi- dents of this vicinity who so testi- fled years ago, now say the results were permanent. This testimony doubly proves the worth of Doan's Kidney Pills to Mena kidney suf- ferers.
 Mrs. s. E. Wiggins, Rose Hill, De Queen, Ark, says: II gave state ment some years ago to the effect that Doan's Kidney Pills had been used by one of my relatives and had been very successful in cur ing a severe and long standing case of kidney complaint. Today I gladly confirm my former word of praise for this remedy, for I know that the benefit it brought has been permanent. have been thoroughly convinced of the su- perior curing powers of Doan's Kidney Pills, for almost daily in stances are brought to my attention where they have done good work.

But if I asked you-if I begged you"
 Don't ask me, dear. This is one of the things you don't understand. You'll have to leave it to me"
 Perhaps" she retorted desperately, "I may understand it far better than you do You say there's a woman con cerned in it, This scandal will pillory her and"
 That type of woman belongs in the pillory"
 You are cruel" she cried. You yourself admit that there is a chance the Woman may have repented. Are you going to refuse her the benefit of that chance?"
 The chance is too small to be con- rideced. Don't let's talk of it. You can't"
 Then" she continued unheeding There's something else you don't con. slider. Sc may have married She may be the wife of some honorable man who loves her and thinks she is perfect. Ali his heart and all his ideals may be bound up in her. Are you going to ruin his life too?"
 Dear sneered Mark, "the sort of fool who marries women of that kind Qike the man who teaches his wife to be dead game sport) deserves what he gets, And generally he gets it. Though, in both cases, he doesn't always find it out. Don't waste sym pathy on him, lf he married her he probably knew what she was. If he didn't know, it's time he learned. Nc sane nan should want to live in a fools paradise
 "But her family! Her parents? Her brothers or sisters? Surely they aren't to blame. And they will be disgraced too"

There are your ia ther and the rest, getting out of the elevator now. Go to bed, dear girl and try to get a good rest. Don't sit up for me I'll probably be up all nigh on this Standish affair. Good night sweetheart"
 As he bent to kiss her, her arms clung to his neck like a frightened child's. She tried to speak, faltered and hurried from the room. Continued in next lssue.)

In Embryo.

We do not credit the rumor that Professor Burbank has successfully grafted watermelon vine with sprigs from a lemon tree, producing melon that, when squeezed, gives forth two quarts of fresh lemonade. We fear this must go the way of that weird tale from the Southwest of a man who fed his hogs on dry bread, producing a quality of meat that tasted like a railway ham sandwich, which on investigation proved to be a baseless canard.- Judge.

 Harold Martin of Monett, Mo-, en- rolled in the shorthand department Monday, and his brother Sylvester is taking preparatory work.

 Prof. Justus contributes the fol- lowing lines for the announcement of his shorthand girls:
 Gregg ShOrt-Hand. ! Susanna was a country girl, | With a poor widowed mother; Their lot was hard for hard they
 tOiled
 To feed and clothe each other. But their old gray goose,
 As the story goes,
 Laid them a golden egg;
 And they swapped 1t for a short hand course. And now Sues writing Gregg. And the way she writes Gregg
 Shorthand now
 Is really surprise; And she operates the Underwood
 While gazing in the skies. Susanna had a brother, too
 A cripple with one leg; And they sent him off to school Onc
 term,
 And he tOo's writing Gregg. Now that little home, that was once
 so sad,
 Is happy, hopeful, bright anC
 glad;
 And Su and the brother with ont

Political Effect of the New Tariff.

The Democrats have held togeth- CT unexpectedly we'll and the party has been left in a strong fighting position by the passage of a gen. eral tariff revision bill that espe- cially considers the consumer, with in the first seven months of the term of a new administration. Busi- ness will have a chance to become adjusted to the new schedules be- fore the election of another Con- gress, which will not occur for thirteen months. The administra- ton exhibits broad qualities, a high level of intelligence and public spirit, and a genuineness in it's pO- stiOns and dealings that the coun- try recognizes with increasing con- iidence and gratitude in view of what has gone before. Since tariff making has always been closely re- lated to political change, the ques- ton naturally arises whether or not this radical new measure, which af- fleets so many industries in their comfortable sense of guaranteed security, will cause a reaction sharp enough to give the next Con- gress to the Republicans. Logic and experience might furnish an answer in the affirmative. But ac- tual political conditions all seem to point the other way. In 1908 the Republican party made promises to the country, was taken at it's word, broke it's pledges most shamelessly and was repudiated in the elections of 1910 and l9i2. The Democratic party, now coming into power, has surprised both it's friends and it's enemies by the firmness with which it has faced it's party pledges and kept its word-From "The Progress of the World" in the American Re- view of Reviews for October.
