Hwho 1t was that watched over him,

Others as lonely. She formed a very

She had come to know the routine
Iof Blair's daily life. Every evening
at six o'clock he would lock his door
and 20 out to the cheap restaurant
where he ate his supper. The rest Of
his meals he cooked in his studio, but
the supper hour was unvarying. As
he became used to her presence he
ceased to notice her at all And one

That was Delia's opportunity. He

SO busily did she work that she did
not know how time was passing un-
til the sound Of Blair's tread two
flights down startled her She Lost
her balance, tried to regain it, and
toppled down with crash upon the
pieces of glass.
Panic-stricken, slle picked herself up
and fed, leaving the broom and dus-
ter behind. She ran into her room
and locked the door, and waited in an
agony Of suspense to hear Blair enter
his room.
She heard the door close, heard a
loud exclamation, heard the door fly
open. And there came a hammering
at her own. Della waited breathless.

raped louder In terror she sprang
to her feet and opened. Blair was
standing outside, red with anger. In
his hands he held the broom and dus-
ter.

Della had never heard addressed to

But how could she tell him what
she had thought that he was as lone
ly as she, that he had no one to care
for him. The tears came into her
eyes, and finding 1t impossible to re-
strain then she put her handkerchief
TO her face and sobbed.
Already disheyelled by her long
work In the studio, she felt that her
hair was loosening, and, putting her
hand to her head to make 1t secure,
only succeeded in letting the whole

There was a long silence. Delta

that her crime was too deep not to

Suddenly she felt two hands on her

had decided that Della was to be that
sort of angel after all. And Della

outen our eyes we looked up and
there stood Belinda Harkness
(Jabes wife) with her hands on her
hips. "Are you in favor of Votes
fer Wimmcn or not ?" says Belinda
fiercely as we struggled to our feet.
"Jabc has been tellin me that you'd
like to see emmy woman who could
make suffergette outen you, so I
thort I'd come around and do so.
If amt did so yet, I'll try agin."
With that Belinda started lords
us agin, but with great presence of
mind we told her that she had Jest
made US see a great light, so to
speak & had showd us the errer of
our way and that hereafter we
would go in strong for Votes for
Wimmen. Then Belinda told us she
would look for a eddytoriul in this
isshue to that effeclet and if it was
sent in shed come around and try
to ascertain the reason why.
Being as we don't desire to put
Belinda to the trouble of maxim
speshial trip to this office we here
with publish the eddytoriul as she
requested. Belinda is a remarkable
woman in many respecks. She has
a way of convincing a person that
he is wrong whether he is or not
and we don't know as we blame
Jabe for concurring in her opin-
yum. We congratulate Jabe that
he has Belinda for a wife instid of
us having her in that capacity.

SUFFERGETTE EDDYTORIA1

1t will probably be a turrible sur
prise to all of our big army of sub
scribers to lern herewith that we
hereby indorse "Suffergism - or
Votes for Wimmen."
Bugle subscribers will probably
gasp with CONSERVATION & surprise
when they learn this being as we
have often & repeatedly said in this
eddytoriul collum that we was dead
aginst Votes for Wimmen. Well,
we was, too, until last Tuesday and
on that day we switched right
around and changed our mind about
the matter. However, that's one
advantage a live man has over a
dead one-he can change his mind.
,, Thank goodness we amt so hide
bound in our opinyuns like some
Bingville folks to sich extent that
we are too stubborn like a mule to
change our mind when we can be
shoed that we be wrong. You can
be shure we had good reasons for
changing our mind on the subjeckt
of Votes for Wimmen or we should
not of did so. The reasons is as
fellows:
Last Tuesday afternoon Jabez
Hankness one of Bingville's most
respeckted citizens dropped into
the Bugle offs for a chat. Jabe be-
gin right off to talk in faver of
winrnen folks having the right to
vote. Then We up and told Jabe
what everybuddy in Bingville knows
becuz it is the truth, viz, towit ::
that the only reason in the world
that he was in faver of votes for
wimmen was becuz his wife was a
suffergette and he was scairt to deth
to be ennythink else. We told Jabe
he ort to be ashamed of hisself to
let his wife run him like that and
that as for US personally we was
glad that we wassent a jelly spined
husband to let our wife dicktate to
US in that manner. We gave it to
Jabe hot & hevvy and at last he
started off home Madden a wet
hen.
About a hour later as we was
making up a batch of paste with
our back to the door, the door
opened suddint and the next thing
we knowd we was grabbed vich-
iously from behind by the scruff
of the neck and had our face push
