And in her calm acceptance OF his

himself by many little "reminiscences

In the strength Of this new happi-

had been received, had numbed her

WILL DEVELOP CHILD MIND
Other Reasons for School Gardens
Than Simple Idea Of Creating
Spots Of Beauty.

IL was Sam Jones who said he didn't
care much for theology and botany,
out that he believed in religion and
loved flowers. This was getting back
to nature and God in the only right
way. And IL the children Of Wash
ington can touch first principles by
means of school gardens, they will
have acquired a kind of knowledge
that all the text books in the world
could not impart.
Already the teachers Of the district
schools are preparing to repeat the
experiences of previous years by hav-
ing the pupils cultivate individual gar
den plots, in which will be grown the
vegetables and other sass" indigen-
GUS to this region. Little spaces will
be wrested from back yards and the
edges of the walks around the home
and converted into squares and rect
angles of utility and beauty. The
growth Of the tender plants will merge
with the development of the child
mind. A deeper interest in the won
ders of nature will be stimulated. The
sense Of being engaged in something
which furnishes It's own daily proof
of usefulness will make the little ones
feel that they are an essential part
Of the general scheme. The lessons
Of life will find Judgment In manifold
ways.
. Theory and practise go together,
and each is necessary to the other.
The ~Squeersian system was not with
out its fine points. albeit 1t empha-
sized the concrete at the expense Of
the ideal. The school garden fur
nishes both. 1t has been the expert
ence of teachers in the past that the
dull pupil often finds in such pursuits
as these the link that binds his mat
tentive mind to his books. At last he
is able to understand the reason why.
Calyx, stamen, pistil, c~orolla, all mean
ingless words before, become vital and
significant. He finds that books tell
about plants, and in the plants learns
things that send him to his books
again.

sentenced 10 the penitentiary for IA
years; lastly, how he had escaped and
come to search for her. But he did
not tell her about the "~devil-chair."
He had detached the gyroscope and
brought it with him into Grand valley,
but he saw now that he would be un-
likely to need it. For, when she I'M
folded her story, a new plan had
taken possession of him. This ven
geance upon Poole must now be
doubly sacred. And because he had
struck at the daughter as we'll as at
the father, he would use Eleanor as
the instrument of his revenge.
If the man had been wholly sane he
would have spared her that; perhaps,
too, if she had refused. his senses
would have come back to him. But
when he told her all he was amazed
at the revelation Of her nature. The
timid girl became a daughter possess
ed with the resolution of vengeance
for her fathers ~sufferings. The fan
tasy of a universal revenge on all
who had been privy to the plot COM
municated itself to her with double
intensity.
She did not know he meant to XIX
each of his enemies; her confidence
in him was SO profound that she ac-
cepted blindly the task which he i'm
posed upon her. Yet Haynes knew
well that Poole must die, and that he
would be the first of his victims. He
would not use the law; personal ven
geance, nurtured in his prison cell,
had become a madness in his brain.
"You will meet him, then, at the res
taurant," he told the girl. And after
dinner you will accompany him wher-
ever he shall decide. Have no fear;
/ shall be waiting outside the build
ing. You have none, Eleanor"

That night, with the strength of the

with wine. She let him hold her hand
and press his lips to it; she listened
as he unveiled his propositions to
her. She was to Gomez back to him,
of course, and as 500 as he obtain
ed his divorce they were to be mar
ried. Meanwhile, as his ward, she
was to live in his house; they would
return that very evening for his chauf-
feur was waiting outside.
The chauffeur was John Haynes.
For, with $500 in his pocket, Poole's
real chauffeur was waiting at the rail-
road station to take the night train
to New York city.
But how was Poole to know that In
the dark? Poole, drunk and flushed
aud triumphant, bearing Haynes
daughter on his arm and leering and
~chuckling.
Home, George" he said thickly, and
settled back in the automobile. His
eyes blinked heavily, he muttered
something, then his head fell on FL
eanor's shoulder and he began to
snore. The want Of sleep had told
on MIN during o days or rear;
he had shrunken into a haggard old
man, horrible to look upon.
This simplified John Haynes plans,
for, with his crippled leg, he had
doubted his ability to cope with the
man, should his suspicious become
aroused. Now, slowing the machine,
he leaned backward, and abandoning
it for q moment, whispered:

Betsy Ross House in a Park.

Sentiment is strikingly combined
with utility in the suggestion hat the
Betsy Ross house in Philadelphia be
made the center of a park by tearing
down neighboring structures, which
closely surround 1t.
One of the promoters of the project
has found that within two years there
have been 500 fire alarms within a
radius of two squares Of the house.
1t is estimated that 100000 would be
sufficient to provide for an open space
100 feet by $50 around the little build
ing. Thus, at one stroke, the old
house where the first American flag
was. made would be protected against
fire, and a breathing space would be
added in a part of the city where it
will be increasingly needed and in
creasingly hard to get.
There Is hint here for other COM
munities confronted by the same prob
lem.

automatic Longer. His plan was so
clear that he knew It could not fail.
II II should fail, II Poole refused his
chance to renew his treachery, then
the mar should go free. Haynes would.
in the end, leave the issue with
heaven.
That night Poole slept well for the
first time since he had received those
fateful kilograms. His terror Of his
enemy had abated; a week or so had
passed, and surely he had no further
cause for dread. II indeed Haynes
were pursuing his enemies, 1t was i'm
probable that he would seek him out;
perhaps he would be caught at his first
attempt, II such there should be, and
why should Haynes seek out the lesser
conspirators, when the leaders re-
manned unframed? He could not
guess that the spy Ricardo, the
nan who had shot Haynes, had
told, in terror of death. of Eleanor's
presence with Poole in that remote
town.
He thought that he knew human ma
ture; he was assured OF 1t beyond ca
vii when he met Eleanor outside the
restaurant at the appointed hour. And,
seeing her, he chuckled and smiled,
for in place of the girl he knew vas
a woman flushed, bold even, nerved to
her part by that instinct which Haynes
had awakened in her-and Poole mis-
took all this for self%-surrender.
They entered the little dining place
behind the curtains which had been
reserved for them, and Eleanor laugh
ed, even her repulslon for the man
driven down by her determination.
Poole, completely illusionized, patted
her arm.
You look fine, Puss, positively fine"
he said ecstatically. why, l always
thought you were such a timid little
thing. And you were sly, devilishly
sly, to hide yourself from me like
that, So you always meant to come,
eh?"
Eleanor nodded briskly.
And you were holding out for some
thing big-a rope of pretty pearls,
now, or a diamond bracelet, eh?"
Eleanor nodded and laughed.

THE RECALL OF

It would be far better to take the short cut, and to provide that the people, by majority vote, may take whatever prop erty they see fit to take, without compen- sating the owner for it. This, for the reason that the infamy and outrage of the latter method is So apparent that no gov ernment could live and endure it while, under tile proposed reform, substantially the same result would b e accomplished in the gr1ise of justice and under pretense of the forms of law.
 One of the most peculiar arguments i'll favor of the proposed reform is that, in- asmuch as the people have come to com- plain of the courts, 1t is better that this weapon of recall should be placed in their hands than that the condition o f complaint should be permitted to. con tinue. The line of reasoning seems to be this the people are complaining about something as to which they have an in definite notion; if they had the power of recall they would D obliged either to cease complaining or to reach defnate conception of the precise nature of their complaints if they undertook to do this they would find out that, in most cases, there was no real ground for complaint, and therefor would cease complaining. In other words, in order that the public may have temporary peace of mind, we are to alter a vital and fundamental prin- ciple of our Government and create a situation whereby, i Il ,inles 0 f real pre- judice III d genuine passion, there will be no safeguard against nasty. intemper- ate, and unjust action
 l believe that our people have reached that degree of intelligence where it is possible to remove thi s unwarranted feeling of discontent with our judiciary, without striking a t the very foundation of our system of government. Far more satisfactory results would be produced by trying to get before the people the true facts as to the ability and integrity of the American judges, as to the r al reasons upon which so- unpopular decis- ions have been founded. as to the divid- ing line between 1aw-making and law in- depreciation, as to the limitations inpos- ed by the Constitution upon the action of every judge, than by attempting through an appeal to ahe feeling of pow CT and importance on the part of the the people to induce them to change judicial system which has been the growth of centuries of experience for one Il which the court of last resort is the majority of the moment, as express ed at the ballot box.
 Even if, under ordinary circumstances, the proposal did all, or more than is
