al Union is to wage during the fall cleo

the party in power responsible for the
failure to enact suffrage legislation at
this session of Congress. and is going
into the weak districts and try to elect
candidates avowedly in support of suf-
frage.
To have a card index information bu-
reau of detailed statistics about each
member of Congress and each candidate
for Congress, Miss Edith Haneshe. who
was graduated this month from Goucher
College, Baltimore. has been added to
the active force of Congressional Union
and will have charge of the research de-
partment.
Some of those who have already been
selected for membership on the advisory
council are Mrs John Jay White, the
New York and Washington society lead
er; Mrs. Florence Kelly, secretary of the
National Consumers League; Miss Livinia
Dock, secretary of the international
Council of Nurses; Mrs. Marie Jennie

Raising Hay for Big Cities.

All Parties Show Concern.

Catholics, nationalists and labor men. as
we'll as other members, showed their con-
Germ for the enormity of such an attempt.
and I do not think I am reading unreal
sentiment into the motives of the crowds
which gathered round the abbey gates
when I say that the same concern drew
them. To see the abbey with the roof
gaping and the windows blown out would
be for London shock and a humiliation
like news OF foreign invasion or the
fall of Gibraltar. and Indignation against
the authorities and the perpetrators would
be as fierce.
Luckily. things are not so bad as that,
but they are very bad, indeed. The wom-
en- who left the bomb must have gone
round the closed parts of the choir with
q guide. Free access to the monuments
and the coronation chair was withdrawn
years ago at the first talk of outrage.
But we already are face to face with
the time when no woman will be allowed
in the abbey or St. Pauls even for wor-
ship, lest she be a brawler or worse. and
when all churches will be closed, except
for service. The privilege of meditation
in or viewing most old London churches
is already much curtailed. and the great
churches every tourist must see-the
abbey, St Paul's. St. Bartholomew and
the Temple-may now be closed for some
time. All this means the loss of many
thousands week to the .tradespeople and
the hotels of London. The patience OF
the public is fast giving out and already
mobs hustle known suffragettes in the
streets, prevent them from speaking and
threaten the leaders with lynching. Lon
don is becoming unhealthy for the wild
women
Evidently, despite his professions, Mr.
McKenna Is not entirely satisfied with
the present position. for he announced
further measures in the form Of civil and
criminal actions against subscribers to
the militant funds. This threat is one
that is calculated to cause great alarm
to many wealthy women, and before long
1 expect we shall hear that certain So
cial leaders are about to take an extended
holiday abroad.

The Barrier OF ignorance"
kalem.

The thrilling cry of a meadow lark
] repeated three times cut through the
| summer songs of the insects. From
over near the foot of the mountain
came an echo-lille answer, followed
by rustling in the brush, and then
a girl peeped out, her long loose hair
touched into coppery highlights by
the suns rays. She gave a little leap
and ran from the brush TO the great
bowlder where the original meadow
lark sat watching her with smile.
, II was afraid you couldn't get
away this morning." he said as he
moved over to give her room beside
him.
That's what | was afraid of, too"
she laughed as she opened her book
on her knee. PA has been round the

an l couldn't hardly get away"
After this brief introduction the
two settled down to the pursuit of
knowledge. the eager girl following
the printed words somewhat stumb-
lingly under the leadership of DR..
Emerson.
Out there in the glorious spring
sunshine. shut in by the foliaged
mountain circle, there was another
process at work besides education.
Teacher and pupil, radiant with
youth and health and happiness. felt
the flush of life with the same keen
ness as the sap-stirred trees, Sud-
denly Emerson shut up the book.
1.-THE days too fine for the reading
of other mems thoughts, he said.
Come, let's enjoy some of our own"
and then he told her of his love for
her and carried her off to his home to
see his sister who lived with him.
Mrs Marshall advanced with state
ly dignity to greet the girl, but when
her brother introduced Nancy as his
fiancee her manner grew as cold as
an approaching hail storm.
The next day Nancy had a caller at
her cabin. Mrs. Marshall came to her
and pointed out how marriage with
her brother would ruin his profess
sional career When the meadow
lark came trilling to her again. Nancy
answered bravely and met Emerson
by fallen tree trunk. He stretched
cut his arms to draw her to him, but
she eluded him, then, facing him
brightly, she told him that he was
mistaken about her; that she didn't
really love him. Stunned by her
words, he followed her back to the
cabin, meeting her father and Jim

Emerson stumbled off home with

Jim's outstretched arms and go sob

In the years that passed Emerson
and Nancy followed their destinies,
Emerson's career, cherished so Sc
dulously by his sister, justified her
pride in ii as he attained wealth and
distinction. But she thought nothing
of the heart blight she had caused,
and administered his house as her
rightful mission. Nancy did her duty
| by Jim, working herself into a faded
drudge in the care of his house and
providing him with a lovely fair
haired daughter in whose youth she
saw mirrowed her own and whom she
decided to save from the bitter lot
which ignorance had made hers.
In childhood Jim had thwarted
Nancy's faltering attempts TO teach
Jess to read, but when the girl grew
up, the woman was determined to
give her knowledge. So one day she
sent her under care of the mountain
priest, John Temple. to Emerson,
asking him for the sake of his past
love to see that she might learn.
He received the girl gladly into his
nome, out again MS sister lnleTIefeu.
Emerson insisted Jess should stay
