Worthy of Contempt

Miss Florence Nellis is a member of the News force. In all the time that she has been connected with this paper she has discharged her duties conscIentiously and efficient ly, and her personal conduct has been absolutely above reproach. The News would regret very much indeed to lose the services of Miss Nellis.
 Last Tuesday Miss Ne1lis cleo tioneered for some of the candi- dates. Clifford Klock of the News force did the same. Both exercis- ed their own personal liberty in choosing for whom they would work with no attempt at dictation on the part Of the News. Their choice was no concern of the News but the News is deeply concerned in defamatory falsehoods which have been maliciously circulated regarding our employee and friend who has been falsely accused of two things:
 First: of shouting "vote wet' at the election, Second of handing out ''wet cards" Miss Nellis did neither. We have carefully inves- tigated and find that she is abso- lutely innocent of both charges. Those parties making statements to the contrary must do so either ignorantly or maliciously.
 We find positive evidence of but one woman who has originated such reports. This same person, Apparently in an effort to injure Miss Nellis's standing with the News has used her influence to cut off one firms advertising. Her conduct is worthy of naught but contempt. That firm may cease advertising in the News if it can afford to, but the person who SC defan es Miss Nellis will be count ed an enemy of ours and if hel

Carlyle's Caust,c Tongue.

A delightful Carlyle story is told in
connection with the painting Of the
portrait of Carlyle by Sir John Millais
which was slashed by militant suf-
fragette in the National Portrait gal
lery, London.
The portrait was painted in 1877 at
the home of Millais. Carlyle and his
niece who accompanied him, were
both impressed with the magnificence
of the furnishings and the objects OF
art with which it was filled.
And does all this-er-come from
paint pot?" queried the niece. The
artist replied in the affirmative. Then
this characteristic comment came
from Carlyle:
"Ah, well, it shows what a number
of fools there are in the world
Only three sittings were given and
the picture is cassed as unfinished"
Maybe that remark is the reason why
1t was never completed

CHAPTER TX.

Dunham slept very little that night
His soul was lowering between Joy
and anxiety. Almost he was inclined
to find some way to send her word
about the man he had seen lingering
about the place. and yet perhaps 1t
was foolish. He had doubtless been
to call on the cook. and there might
be no connection whatever between
what Dunham had heard and seen and
the lonely girl.
Next day. with careful hands. the
girl made herself neat and trim with a
few materials she had at hand She
gathered her little hoard OF money to
take with her, and cast one look back
over the cheerless room, with u great
longing to bid 1t farewell forever, and
go back to the world where she be-
longed; yet she realized that it was a
quiet refuge for her from the world
that she must hereafter face Then
she closed her door. went down the
stairs and out into the street, like any
other servant on her afternoon out,
walking away to meet whatever crisis
might arise. She had not dared to
speculate much about the subject Of
the coming interview. 1t was likely
he wanted to inquire about her COM
fort, and perhaps offer material aid
She would not accept it. Of course. but
it would be comfort to know that
some one cared. She longed mex
pressibly for this interview, just be-
h. h. IL,
he belonged to that world from which
she had come. He would keep her
secret. He had true eyes She did
not notice soft, padded feet that came
wobbling down the street after her,
and she only drew little further out
toward the curbing when a bear-eyed,
red face peered into hers as she stood
waiting for the car. She did not no.

car after she was seated
Tryon Dunham stood in the great
stone doorway. watching keenly the
passing throng. He saw the girl at
once as she got out of the car, but he
he did not notice the man in the bag

watched with wondering scrutiny as
Durham came forward. lifted his hat
and took her hand respectfully. Here
was an element he did not understand
He stood staring, puzzled as they dis
appeared into the great building: then
he planted himself in convenient
place to watch until his charge should
come out again. This was perhaps a
gentleman who had come to engage
her to work for him. She might be
thinking Of changing her place. He
must be on the alert.
Durham placed two chairs in the
far corner of the inner parlor. where
they were practically alone, save for
an occasional passer through the
hall. He put the girl into the most
comfortable one, and then went to
draw down the shade, to shut sharp
ray Of afternoon sunlight from her
eyes. She sat there and looked down

REFUGEES WRITE OF
WOES TO GARRISON
Secretary DeIuged With CON-
qIaints by Those Who Miss
LuxurieS.

Secretary OF War Garrison has a keen
sense OF humor. when on going through
his morning mail the other day with
it's grist of dispatches from the officers
engaged in European relief work he en-
countered a letter from a woman who
complained because the steward on the
boat bringing her home from Europe
was ssucy." the Secretary smiled.
Then he wrote brief letter suggesting
that his correspondent take up the stew
ards case with the steamship company.
Hearing complaints about saucy stow
ards was enc of the burdens Secretary
Garrison assumed when he took charge
of the task of bringing Americans home
from Europe after the outbreak OF the
war.
Swell Garrison's Mail.
Most of the Americans were brought
home on regular passenger liners. as
there were but few ships chartered by
the Government. but many of the wom-
en- who were compelled to ride in the
steerage on the return trip took 1t as
personal affront from the Secretary of
War. and as a result the Secretary s
mail has been large.
Reports reaching Washington from re-
lief officers in London and Paris crltl-
else the unreasonableness OF many OF
the wealthy Americans abroad. One
woman traveller who claimed to have
great influence at home, threatened Am
bassador Herrick with recall because
he refused to stop the relief work of
the embassy while a search was made
for the woman's Chinese poodle. Others,
after reading embassy bulletins giving
train and steamer departures. were in
dgnant because the embassy officials
could not guarantee the departure of
the carriers at the hour scheduled.
Complain of Hardships.
But the greatest complaint came from
tourists compelled to ride on day

week. The officers were armed
with search warrant, but their
search failed to reveal any of tho

Many revolvers, dirks, bowlc
