Hetty suddenly threw herself upon
the couch and buried her face In her
arms. Great sobs shook her slender
frame.
Sara stood over her and watched for
a long time with pitiless eyes. Then
queer, uneasy, wondering light be-
gan to develop in those dark, ominous
eyes. She leaned forward the better
to listen to the choked, inarticulate
words that were pouring from the
girls lips. At last, moved by some
power she could not have accounted
for, she knelt beside the quivering
body, and laid her hand, almost tim
orously, upon the girls shoulder.

in fierce, tense grip. Her eyes were
glowing with a strange fire.

Look into my eyes!"
The girls eyes did not falter. She
met the dark, penetrating gaze of the
other and, though dimmed by tears,
her blue eyes were steadfast and reso-
lutte. Sara seemed to be searching the
very soul of her, the soul that laid
itself bare, denuded of every vestige
of guile.

slowly from the lips of the searcher.

several hundred killed say the news

A Rebuke.
To the Editor of The Republic.
In your issue of the 18th inst. a
correspondent from Mexico, Mo.
writes to-; complain about the physi-
clans .ii! (. Of. ,that.; little, city. having
formed combination to raise their
fees to such a degree as to work a
great hardship on the farmers, es-
pecially just after a great crop
failure. He also complains about the
indifference of the Mexico people to
the farmers in allowing their sew
age to pour into Salt River, where
it pollutes the water which the
farmers have to use.
Now, this is all unfortunate and
outrageous, and it ought to be some
ones duty to see that Justice is
done. However, all the interest anc
sympathy which we felt for this gen
tleman on reading the first hak o.
his letter was entirely lost when We
came to the last half. He complains
in effect that since Mexico went Or!
and the saloons have been forced t
close, the farmers have nowhere U
20 for warmth and comfort-no plac
/ to loaf, we should judge from hi
tone. He then threatens to send OF
to get his sugar and coffee from tn
same place that he is now forced t
} order his drink.
. Let US say to our friend il he wi
! stay out of the saloon he is not s
liable to need the Doctors service,
but should he do so any way, h
!, will have more money to pay fo
such service. What business hay
you In the saloon at all? When 20
come to town to trade, to sell pro
duce or to buy supplies, you can ce
tainly get warm in the store, II

THE SUPREME COURT
HEARS LOCAL OPTION
CASE ARGUMENTS

The arguments in the local option
contest here were heard in the Su-
preme Court Wednesday e. S. Cant
Of this city. and c. M. Hay of st.
Louis, represented the County Court
and McBaine & Clark OF Columbia
represented William Kcmper. who Is
contesting. George Robertson, attor-
ney for r. Kemper. could not attend
the hearing because of illness.
Kemper bases his contesr on the
following allegations: That the locai
option election was void because the
order for it instead of reciting the
petition was signed by one-tenth of
the legal voters Of the city of Mex
leo said was signed by onetenth
Of the qualified voters of theNsity Of
Mexico who were qualified to vote
for members OF the legislature at the
last previous general election"
If the election was not void. they con
tend, nevertheless, that proper notice
declaring the result Of the election
was never published; this attacks the
validity of tho finding Of the City cou
Gil as to the result Of the election
and also that the notice given Of
such finding was not in proper form.
They also claim the filing Of the ref
erendum petition to any law does moi
suspend law referred to a vote and
such law stands as the law despite
the filing of the petition until re
jected at the polls; furthermore, 1
the filing of the referendum petitiol
did suspend the law, 1t Is not sus
pended until the Secretary OF State
counts the names upon 1t and determ
ines its sufflciency. In this case the
election was ordered September %
held October 81, and the Secretary Of
State did not count the anmes on
the referendum petitions until
