have felt keenly the beauty of the
drive-the Great White Way ablsze
with lights, the theaters pouring out
their crowds upon the already crowded
street. But now she rode through it all
unnoticing, the resentment still swelling
in her throat. The resolution that at
dinner had seemed so easy to keep was
wholly forgotten now. The cab drew
up at their hotel, and still in silence he
helped her out
How much is it," he asked the cab
man.
"One dollar, sir"
He drew out some bills. handed the
man dollar, and then felt in his pocket
for change. Afterward Katherine knew
that the thing she said then was not
from any thought of economy, but from
an unexplained. reckless desire to make
a wretched situation worse.
"Are you going to give him a quar-
ter? / should think a dime would be
enough"
With a muttered exclamation he
thrust a quarter back into his pocket
and took a dollar bill from the roll he
still held. Keep this for yourself" he
said as he handed it up to the man.
Through the hotel corridor, into the
elevator, down the long hall, they
reached their rooms in silence. He un-
locked the door and switched on the
lights With a brief good night and
without even glancing toward him, she
entered her room and closed the door.
Then she threw herself on the bed,
burying her face in the pillows that he
might not hear her sobs.
1t was nine o'clock the next morning
when he tapped at the door. He was
dressed, the freshness of his bath still
about him. Katherine was painfully con-
scious. as she lay there, that her almost
sleepless night had left her worn and
haggard, and that the strong morning
sun was shining mercilessly upon her.

breakfast with you," he said. That

Bartlett looked a little surprised at the
outburst. but he said nothing.

Oak Grove Park. will you? I dare you
to do it,
Bartlett debated mentally.
In the caro- he asked.
Carr said she. "Of course not. On
the trolley. Well eat peanuts all the way
down"
She could hardly keep from chuckling:
Bartlett seemed so distressed.
I'VE couldn': get back until or so,'
he demurred.
Who cares? II you're afraid, never
mind. I'll so alone. Only. my heart
is set on going to Oak Grove Park this
afternoon-going on the trolley, and

What time can We get a carr
Quarter past the hour in the square.
I'll be ready in a minutes
Bartlett sat down stiffiy in one OF the
piazza chairs. Then he arose and ran
the car home.
He was jus returning to the veranda
when Barbara came out.
Come on" said she. We've only ten
minutes and you've got to get some pea
nuts
They sat on the front seat of the quar-
ter-past-the-hour car from the square.
There was a big bag of peanuts on the
seat beside them. Bartlett said he didn't
like peanuts, but offered to shell them for
Barbara. The girl grinned. Also, she ate
peanuts with much JUNCTION all the way
to the park.
Oak Grove Park is noisy. garish
place. There are the usual hair-raising
aInusements. the usual crowd Of venders
and takers. and more or less hard-work-
ing pleasure-seekers.
Barbara glanced at her escort out of
the corner of her eye. He reminded her

whirling bowl and steered him thither.
After that hey did one stunt after an
other. Barbara made IL a point to

male patrons of the various thrillers.
They shot chutes. looped loops, rode
scenic railways, shot about an automo-
bile race course. descended into a red
lighted papier mache coal mine; in short,
they left nothing undone that could be
done
Bartlett followed meekly wherever she
led him. He bought the tickets and was
just as stately upside down on the loops
as he was anywhere else.
Everybody else is chewing gum he
suggested mildly.
Barbara could not make out whether
or not this was sarcasm.
Get some for u.s." she commanded.
He did so.

Y. to the papacy Dom Perosi was call
ed to the Vatican. The opera "Moses"
was originally presented at the Royal
theater at San Carlos in 1906 Mgr.
Dom Perosi was the conductor then.
and his opera created a sensation in
musical circles throughout Italy. Sig
nor de Pasquali, a well known Italian
tenor, who was greatly impressed by
the composition. suggested the produc-
ton of the opera in San Francisco dur
ing a prolonged stay in that city last
year, and he has now completed ar
engagements for bringing out the opera
during the exposition.
AS now planned the first production
will be in the Greek theater. the classic
auditorium presented to San Francisco
by Mrs. Phoebe Hearst. There will
be four or five special performances,
at which there will be Il chorus of at
least 1900 voices. This chorus will
come from the Catholic churches in
and around San Francisco, and its
members are already being trained.
There will also be performances of the
/ opera in the exposition grounds.

This is the time of year when peopl
On every side are complaining abou
colds. The best way to avoid colds is
to keep the body clean and to see tina
the quarters in which we work an
sleep are we'll ventilated. We are no
likely to catch cold if the skin is PEI
forming its proper functions. And thu
best way to bring this about is FIRE

THE MAN WHO FAILS TO VOTE.

The Reformer has always contended
that the man who failed to exercise the
right of suffrage made himself a cipher
in political and civic affairs. We be
lieVe that failure to vote, say ON three
successive years, should be followed by
the penalty Of disfranchisement for as
many years or more 1t is pleasing for
paper which has always urged the
voters to come out, to hear Il staid and
dignifed journal like the Hartford
Courant taking similar stand. That
paper says:
Many men who frequently fail to
exercise their right to the ballot on
election day would howl with dismay
and Indignation if it were proposed to
take that right away from them. We.
they should know that every right ear.

know, too, that the man. who. havin-
the right to vote, is too Indifferent on
too lazy to assert his right. is unwor-

on when he talks about bad politics
and bad government. His vote may not
make things right, but ut least by east

The Progressives and Republicans.
(Granite State JournaI.)

(Granite State JOurnal.)
Yes, it is true. The rank and file of
the Progressive and the Republican
parties are very close together in what
they aim to accomplish. Together, in
spite of leaders misleading, they would
control reunited party. The first
thing is to unite. Let the reunited
mass make the platform. Do not I'M
dertake to dictate in advance; not de-
tails. only general principles. We are
alike; want the same thing. Get TO
gether. But the rank and file are not
noisy; only plain yeomen; the cream
of the body polite. They think at
home, on farm and in shop and store.
Only elections reveal what they think.
We think they want reunion, but must
wait for the coming elections; not try
to force reunion.

Greater New York is manifestly
gaining on the white plague. Charity
reports show that the tu-
berculosis death rate in 1912 was only
.68, compared with 2.25 in 1898. Al
lowing for increase in population, this
means an annual saving of about 5000
lives as the result Of IA years of sani-
tary research and practice. In a rural
district the showing would probably not
be so good, although the efforts TO
stamp out tuberculosis in Vermont are

Those who find fault with the Ve"-

time at each session to the ridiculouslv
serious consideration of hedgehog iea-

that the Massachusetts statesmen who
assemble on Beacon hill annually set
aside important matters of state TO
discuss a scheme for licensing cats. The
Boston Record says "'this absurd plan
hobs up annually, and it is the annual
duty of the legislature to bury it." 1t

strenuous years, but he is the type OF
