You're learning, Leslie" said Booth, taking the hand the other held out to him.
 While the painter was dining at his club later on in the evening, he was called to the telephone. Watson was on the wire. He said that Mrs. Wran- dall would like to know If MT. Booth could drop in on her for few min utes after dinner, Ito discuss a very important matter. if you please, sir" At nine o'clock, Booth was in Sara's markable phase in the character of that amazing woman.
 He found Hetty waiting for him when he arrived.
 T don't know what it all means, Brandon" she said hurriedly, looking over her shoulder as she spoke Sara says that she has come to a decision of some sort. She wants us to hear her plan before making 1t final. I-I don't understand her at all tonight"
 Tt cant be anything serious, dear est" he said, but something cold and nameless oppressed him just the same.
 ''She asked me if I had finally de cided toto be your wife, Brandon. said had asked you for two or three days more in which to decide. It seemed to depress her She said she didn't see how she could give me up, even to you. She wants to be near me always. It is-it Is really tragic, Brandon"
 He took her hands in his.
 We can fix that" said he confident. ly. Sara can live with us if she feels that way about it. Our home shall be hers when she likes, and as long as she chooses. It will be open to her all the time, to come and go or to stay just as she elects. Isn't that the way to put it?"
 T suggested something of the sort but she wasn't very much impressed Indeed, she appeared to be somewhat yes, could not have been mistaken somewhat harsh and terrified when l spoke of it. Afterwards she was more reasonable. She thanked me anC there were tears in her eyes at the time-and said she would think il over. All she asks Is that I may be happy and free and untroubled all the rest of my life. This was before din ner. At dinner she appeared to bt breeding over something. When wt left the table she took me to her room and said that she had come to an i'm portant decision. Then she instructed | Watson to find you if possible"

 Il think her conscience is troubling her She hates the Wrandalls, but l. l don't know why I should feel as l do about it-but I believe she want! them to know!"
 He stared for moment, and theI his face frightened. And so do l, Het ty. so do T. They ought to know!"
 T should feel so much easier if tn, whole world knew" said she earnestly
 Sara heard the girls words as sh' stood in the door. She came forward with strange-even abashed-smile after closing the door behind her

 Sara flushed. q suppose it is use less to ask you to be fair to Sara Gooch. as you choose to call me"

 MT. Carroll bowed slightly in the general direction of the Wrandalls. T have already advised Miss Castleton to state the case fully and completely to you, MT Wrandall. It was l who originally suggested this-well, what you might call a private trial for her I am firmly convinced that when you have heard her story, you, as her judges. will acquit her of the charge of murder. Moreover, you will be con- tent to let your own verdict end the matter, sparing yourselves the shame and ignominy of having her story told in criminal court for the delectation of an eager but somewhat implacable world"

 That is precisely what l mean, Mir Wrandall You will not consider her 1 guilty of crime. Please bear in mind this fact: but for Sara and Miss Castleton you would not have known the truth.

Say Nothing.

Just three members out OF nine Of
the executive committee Of the Pro

20 the call for meeting at the New

sad affair altogether. After IL was all
over and the three faithful" and sew
eral other Progressives who joined
them had gone over the results Of the
election throughout the country from
every angle no announcement was
forthcoming. They hoped 10 have the
advice of Colonel Roosevelt. but he re-
manned in Oyster Bay. IN his absence
the leaders could not agree on any
plausible explanations OF the happen
lngs, SO they determined to say nothing
at all.
George ". Perkins, chairman of the
executive committee, was on hand. So
was Senator Beyeridge, OF Indiana.
George c. Priestley, Of Oklahoma, and
Harold lckes, who held the proxy OF
Miss Jane Adams. of Chicago. Those
absent included Meyer Lissner, Of Cali

TEACHERS KEEP UP
MOTHER FIGHT
Rejoice Over Judge Sea
bury's Election and
Write More Letters.

The teacher-mother crusaders re-
joiced yesterday in the discovery that
their friend Judge Seabury had been
elected 20 the Court OF Appeals. Judge
Seabury last year, in the Supreme
Court, ruled that the Board of Educa-
tion had not the right to dismiss Mrs.
Bridget c. Peixotto for being absent
from school 20 become mother. The
board appealed TO Q higher court, and
won its case, the decision being that
it had the right to discipline it, teach
crs.
I'VE admit that the discipline issue
was involved in Mrs. peiXotto's case,
but il is not m Mrs. Bresau's or Mrs.
Wagner's," said Miss Henrietta Rod
man last night. IF our case is taken
20 the courts again II viii be "A great
comfort 10 know that Judge Seabury -

we do not know what course we shall
follow until we have an answer from
the Board of Education In Mrs. Nag-
ner's case and from Commissioner FIN
ley In Mrs Brcslau's. There is no ques
tlon Of discipline involved m either of
these cases, because both these women
made application for leave Of absence
in the prescribed method.
THE interesting difference between
Mrs. Wagner case and Mrs. Breslau $
is that Mrs Breslau stayed away from
school before she was physically in
capactated, but Mrs. Wagner remained
until the very day her child was born.
To excuse Mrs. Breslau's absence the
Board Of Education will have 70 admit
that absence for pregnancy and lacta-
ticu is permissible. That is the essence
Of the teacher-mothcr crusade. Mrs.
Wagner's plea for leave OF absence is
based on the fact of actual physical
disability

Coincltent with The announcement
of Controller Prcndergast that he had
resigned from the Committee on Port

ment was not restored. The money
was restored, but it did not heal the
breach between the Controller and the
commissioner. Some Of those who
criticised the way in which the budget
had been pared by cutting of employees
on small compensation pointed TO the
fact that Tilden AdamsOn and George
T.. Tirrell. who had considerable hand
iu making up the budget, had provided
for an increase I'M their salaries from
$4,000 20 $500. Mr. Adamson is chief

that he felt obliged 20 give up his work

was made 10 get President MeAneny Of
