He stepped to the door and opened

Remorse is more endurable than
suspense. We approach the scaffold
with stouter hearts than we await the
verdict that may sound our doom.
We look more resignedly upon the
dying one. Crushed and bowed down
as she was by her husbands tragic
death Jane found sort of solace in
the very exquisiteness of her grief.
The sacrifice he had made for her was
complete. To the world at large-to
all save her and Brand and Dick. Rey-
nolds' suicide was but one of those
every day sordid affairs of modern life
the symbol Of failure and a weak
ling's surrender. But to those who
knew the truth the act was invested
with the dignity Of martyrs. 1t haf

Of an expose that might have come at

price of her folly.

Investigations of the kind there was
much outcry and clamor at the start,
but with delays and court continuances
and lack of specific charges the mat

Brand took good care that the press
learned of the dead mans financial dis
solution and to the public mind this
accounted for his self-destruction.
So, Jane saw Brand immune and un-
ruff1ed while she had only the memory
of a better mans love to help her
drown the voice Of conscience. In the
bitterness OF her sorrow and self-ab-
horrence there came times when she
was moved to risk any fate for herself
that she might bring down some ex-
piation for the tragedy of the dam and
Bob's death upon the head OF Brand.
But in such moments the face Of her
husband shone before her and she

Princes in Russian Ranks.

The native princes of the tribes Of
the Caucasus, man7 of whom are Mus
sulmans, came forward at the begin
ming of the war offering horses, men
and money. A magnificent body Of ma

Many Russian regiments are com.

birth. Wealthy landowners, each of
whom subscribed tens Of thousands
to the war fund. are contented to serve
the emperor as plain troopers.
The response Of the Russian Polish
aristocracy has assumed remarkable
forms. One Of the crack guard regi-
ments has formed two whole com.
panies entirely composed of men of
noble birth, among them being 30 Pol

oyski, who, discarding his high court
rank, has donned the blouse of pri.

JUST THE SAME KIND OF GIRL
Modern Maid, In All Essentials, Is a
Worthy Copy Of Her Mother
and GRANDMOTHER.

Every now and again somebody
asks, in print, this question: What
has become Of the old-fashioned girl
that helped her mother wash the
dishes?" Probably the same ques-
ton has been asked since the time
of Noah and will be asked until the
end.
Mary Lyon, when she provided for
the establishment of Mount Holyoke
college for girls, stipulated that all
the household work in it should be
done by the students. That rule was
enforced rigidly up to recent date,
when the directors and faculty. feel
ing that the practice might have be-
come outworn, made the domestic
tasks of the institution optional for
the undergraduates.
But when the girls of Mount Holy
oke were requested to announce their
wishes on the subject, TAB of the 800

There Is no need to worry about
the American girl, even IL she does
wear gowns the sight of which seems
to preclude all idea of work on her
part. She isn't saying much about
it, but she is in all essentials the
same kind of girl our mothers and
grandmothers were.

Politics and Newspapers.-Back Of
all this politics is the newspaper war.
1t is the field against Hearst, the
News, Journal and Post against the
American, and the Tribune, Record
Herald and 10. against the Exam
liner.
There was a tight little trust before
Hearst came to town, and the Trib
and News had things pretty much
their own way. When Hearst broke
in he fought the trust press, was
backed by labor and got big circula-
ton and influence.
He made his first mistake when he
broke his word to union labor and
joined the publishers association.
Once the other fellows got him
hooked and landed into the trust,
they had him where they wanted him.
And they played him for soft
mark when they so manipulated the
fight with union pressmen as to make
Hearst, through Andy Lawrence, take
the initiative and do the first locking
out.
Having climbed to success on the
back of labor, Hearst turned around
and kicked it in the face. And ever
since that lockout, labor has been
kicking back with both feet.
The Harrison politicians are being
punished as much for their alliance
with Hearst as for anything else.
