The Special Messenger stole a

the wall toward the door, manic

revolver. Then, at the door, she
cast one rapid glance at the open
field behind her and around. A

HELEN KELLER

EAST ORANGE, N. j., Jan. 81.
That Thomas A. Edison is
working on an invention that will
permit the blind to read ordinary
newspapers by the sense of touch
is the announcement that comes
from the home Of the wizard of
electricity. Helen Keller will
soon visit him in his home here

tied 1t with faded ribbon, rubbed
her hands in wood-mold and
crushed green leaves over them
till they seemed all stained and
marred with toll. Then she gath
cred an armful of splinter-wood.
Head bent, she moved on in the
.shiftless, hopeless fashion of the
sort of humanity she was repre-
senting, furtively taking her bear
ings and making such sidelong
observations as she dared. To
know the shortest way back to
her horse might mean life to her.
She understood that. Also she
fully realized that she might at
that very instant be under hostile
observation. In her easily excited
imagination, all around her the
forest seemed to conceal a hun
dred malevolent eyes. She shiv-
cred slightly, wiped the perspira-
tion from her brow with one small
bare fist, and plodded on, clutch
ing her light-wood to her soft,
rounded breast
And now at last she was near
ing the open cabin door; and she
must not hesitate, must show no
suspicion. So she went in, drag
ging her clumsily-shod feet.

form of a Confederate cavalry
officer was seated inside before
the empty fireplace of baked clay.
He had bad scar on his temple.
She looked at him, Stimulating
dull surprise; he rose and greeted
her gracefully.

she retorted with little flash OF
Southern spirit, never entirely
quenched even in such as she
seemed to be.
Genuine surprise brought the
red back into his face and made
1t, worn as 1t was, seem almost
handsome. The curious idea came
to her that she had seen him be-
fore somewhere. At the same mo-
ment speech seemed to tremble on
his lips; he hesitated, looked al

The independent Newspaper.

Now and then one sincerely asks. What
is an independent newspaper" Thu
question is pertinent. Here is the Chicago
Herald's answer:
realizes that no party or other combina-
ton of men has a monopoly Of all the
fruitful IDEAS and high principles.
1t is a newspaper that deliberately pre-
serves its freedom to stand for what 1t
conceives to be the right wherever it finds
tho matter what label it may bear.
1t is a newspaper that insists on finding
its opinions In the mental processes of its
makers, in contact with the realities OF
life, instead of having them cast in tho
molds Of the official announcements of
partisan chiefs.
1t is a newspaper tina makes no pre-
tence of infallibility; that shirks no issue
where it believes a vital issue exists: that
declines to be drawn into personal, parti-
san or political controversy on the mere
assertion OF interested parties that a great
issue Is involved.
But over and above all this the indie
pendent newspaper seeks the higher
ground of agreement between opposing
factions that are sincerely struggling for
the public good.
A good French priest once said substan-
TALLY this-we quote from memory: IT
care only to be united with them in a
higher ~synthesis."
Always to seek the higher synthesis'.
that will unite all those who stand for
Always to try to perceive amid the fret
and Jury and inconsequentiality of faction
some higher ground that embraces all that
Is vital and patriotic in the Views Of all
parties;
Always to proclaim his higher ground
when once 1t Is clearly perceived and to
endeavor to rally good citizens to it by
all the means within its power
That Is the really independent newspa-
per-the only newspaper that can make
the title a true badge of honor.

Clifford and Amos.

aE -SAA ~
Pennsylvania friends tell us that some
folks in that state are opposing Clifford
Pinchot because the public prints nave as
ISOLATED him with some rather extreme re-
formers. We hasten to inform these Penn
sylvanians that they are confusing Gift
ford with his brother Amos. Clifford
Pinchot is a great idealist. He is one Of
the largest figures of his generation. Be-
cause of his identification with all that ia
implied by the term conservation the
future historian will have a good deal to
say about him. Amos Pinchot, as Perl
again" He is a young man who has aco
quired a great deal of money by the cas-
lest known form OF acquisition. The lei
sure which comes from that and the pos
session of a famous brother account for
participation as he has in public at
fairs. Amos Is a cubist in politics. He be-
longs to the futurist fringe of reform. He
is for most of the ''isms'' Unidentified with
current agitation. not emitting p~essimism.
What he isn't for he's against. We GER
tainly hope the Pennsylvania voters

THE PEASANT GUIDE.

He flashed out the .saber and desper-
ately he slid it this way and hat about
the great stone, tryingsto find a crack,
something to loosen, something that
would give. And while he worked in
q fever. In a chill. he remembered
Pietro's letter.
Then he set down the candle n on
a shelf and with trembling fingers
drew off his coat and drew u the
hidden papers The wet from his bath
in the water-butt had stained them q
little. but only a little, for they were
carefully wrapped in the bit Of oilskin
In which they had come. He unfelded
the letter.

five years Of imprisonment. Francois
pushed the lower left-hand corner and
like magic the great block above
swung out. With his lighted candle
end in his hand he slipped through and
swung back the door into place and
turned again and faced blackness. Nor

enough, however, with good courage,
with his heart humping out a song Of
hope, which he had kept down sternly
till now, he walked, at times STOPPING
low as he must because Of the descent,
Town the secret road Of the old Zappis.
His candle held forward. he could see
a few feet ahead, but all he could see
was huge blocks Of rough stone, green
with mold, water dripping between
them. The air he breathed was heavy
and thick; through his wet clothes he
felt a chill as Of the grave. But what
mattered the road. when the road led
to freedom?
Suddenly it came to him that the
passage might be blocked. 1t was years
since Pietro had been through it; some
of the stones might have fallen; it
would take very little to close so mar

was physical pain, with GREATNESS

to stop to light his second candle;
again he hurried On. Would the end
