where the ballot IS used by men only.

fairly satisfactory to society as a

Then a stranger wrote that the end

Jim and Lucy walked quietly and

the garden, a mass of beauty and

to leave, after all.
One day a foreign letter came. They
opened it, wondering. 1t was from
Bert's Uncle Ezra and it contained
money to pay the note three times

written the truth to him and asked
him to pay. And the old man had
paid threefold. But the letter-Lucy
