Among the stories in the duchess OF
Aosta's book is one relating TO the
celebrated statue of Cecil Rhodes
which stands in the main square OF
Bulawayo. The empire builder is fig
ured in contemplation of his achieve
ment, with head barred.
The whole district had been griev-
ously plagued by drought for over a
twelvemonth, when the natives got up
a great agitation and marched in enor-
nous numbers to the square, and,
thronging around the statue of Cecil
Rhodes, insisted that it should i'm
mediately be given a top hat.
They said that Heaven respects
this great creator of empire too much

When she came, she stood for mo-

Her glance fell to the bag, rose
again. She walked slowly toward him.
He rose. Scarcely an arms length
away, she halted. Suddenly tears stood
in her eyes. She put out both hands
in a quick pleading gesture.

bridged the space between them,

another girl"
There is-And you"
After what seemed like a long
silence he dared to glance up to see
how she had taken 1t. BY then she
had crept to the threshold and was
looking back at him. About her lips
a dazed. foolish little smile was play

thought of which his stomach revolted.
After few mouthfuls he left the table
and went to his room. He threw him
self, still dressed, on the bed, tossing
restlessly in the vain search for an
easy position. His body was one dull
ache. The overheated blood pounded
through his veins, each throb a knife
that hacked his brain. His skin was
hot and dry, his mouth parched; fever
rose.
The late darkness fell, dispelled a
little by the faint glow from a nearby
street lamp; It found him lying inert
but awake. His mind was beginning
to behave queerly, seeing strange
shadowy objects that moved stealthlly

He caught her hand and chung to 1t.
Would you mind staying a while?''
he whispered back. My head does

She put her free hand to his hot
forehead. Then she gave low pity

She left the room quietly. Soon she
returned with towels and a basin of
water in which ice tinkled. She
lighted the gas jet and turned 1t very
low.

He lay passive, while she placed
cold wet towels over his eyes. bathed
his hands and wrists in the icy water
and stroked his throbbing temples. He

worked so hard could be so gentle.
For many minutes they did not speak.

He felt her lips on his forehead.
After that he slept.
When he awoke the room was dark.
A cool moist wind swept strongly In
upon him. He heard the rumble OF
far away retreating thunder. And with
the heat the headache and overpow-
ering fatigue had gone. He drew a
long signing breath. Something stirred
in his hand.
Then in the faint reflection of the
street lamp he saw the figure crouch
ing on the floor at the bedside, her
cheek pillowed in his outstretched
hand. 1t took him moment to real

"Kazia, why do you do these things

Her place! What place, then, had

But more than cowardice sealed his
lips. She might have been consciously
fighting for her love. She bent over
and kissed him.

In time they did return. The muir

window. Whiting seemed in no haste
to leave. Mark wondered impatiently
what they found to talk so long about.
At length. sleep as far away as ever,
he arose, dressed and went quietly
down stairs-with what intent he
hardly knew. On the bottom stair he
stopped, facing the door. Whiting was
on the point of leaving. Mark saw
him coolly put an arm around Kazia;
she suffered IT, Hot anger-and some
thing far sharper-boiled within the
eavesdropper. Nor was it perceptibly
cooled when he saw her deftly avoid
the kiss Whiting would have taken;
she laughed as she broke away. Whit.
ing went down the steps, whistling
gaily.
Mark was still standing on the stair
when she went in. She started.
"Oh! Is that you?"
II think it is"
That's a funny thing to say" she
laughed. Your voice sounds funny,
too"
He had just been condemning Whit
ing for the indecent length of his stay.
Now he said: Let's go out on the
porch a while"
They went out into the moonlight.
He sat upon the railing and stared
grimly in the direction of Writings
departure. 1t was past midnight; the
street slept. From the valley below
them came the rumble of the mills
that were teaching him fear and self
control. He was silent for a few min
utes, while he tried to master the ugly
thing within him.
What is it?" she asked wonder
ingly.
"Kazia." he blurted out, you
shouldn't let him do that"
oh! You saw"
Il didn't mean to-"

"He-he's not fit to touch you"
He's very jolly and nice to me-"
she said quietly. "And-and he wants
to take me away"
But you're not going, are you?" he
cried.
She sighed. Il don't know-yet."
'Kazia!" He did not know how his
voice was shaking. Promise me you
won't go away with him"
why not?" She turned to him.

rough reckless movement he caught
her close to him. She suffered him as
she had Jim Whiting Don't you know

his cheek and turned his face out of
the shadow. looking long and search
ingly into his eyes.
Then she gave little sigh. Il prom
ise-now." Her lips waited for his
kiss.
Gradually his senses cleared. He
began to see the ugly treachery of
what he had done. His strong clasp
slackened.
She seemed to feel, with the sixth
sense that was hers, the change in
him.
What is it?" She looked up in
quick alarm.
Nothing" To avoid her eyes he
caught her close again, burying his
face in her hair, and yielded to the
intoxication of her. "Oh! Kazia,

from any source. 1t Is a Stae- wide
movement and one that has aroused
a great deal Of interest
Those who are most active In its
support believe that such an institu-
ton is one of the greatest needs of
the State at the present time. Their
claim is that 1t will aid in the en-
forcenent of the law, reduce vice, pro-
test the public from disease. save the
State money. and rehabilitate and re-
form delinquent women.
The functions of the proposed in
stitution for women offenders will be
to provide industrial training, medi-
cal attention and moral nurture, in
order that such women may be re-
turned to society with improved
health and ideals and with sufficient
training to enable them to earn their
own living honorably Ultimately, it
is believed that 1t will tend to de-
crease the cost of maintaing the

Hearing, Sept. %, at Bangor on
Need of Reformatory and In

Women
STATE HOUSE CHAT
State Board of Health Visits
York to Investigate Stories in
Circulation Relative to Recent
Cases in That Town
Next meeting of the Governor and
Council, 10 A. M, Wednesday, Sept. 80.

A hearing upon Names need or a
reformatory and industrial home for
delinquent women is scheduled to be
held in Bangor at 100 p. NJ, Tues
day. Sept. %, before a special COM
mittee appointed at the last session
of the Legislature to investigate and
report during the coming winter. At
the present time there Is no place in
the State except the jails for such
women, and 1t has been found that
many women after coming out Of
Jail returne to their old haunts and
Associates and take up their life the
same as before they entered the in
stitution. 1t is the plan of the ad-
vocates Of the reformatory. and in
dustrial Home to provide for indeter-
inmate sentences, sentences of such
length that the women can be given
industrial training after which they
will not be liable to resume their old
habits.
The committee, Of which Joseph w.
Allen of Mt. Vernon is chairman, has
already held one hearing in Portland
last spring. and at the meeting in Ban
gor residents of the eastern and north
ern part of the State will be given
an opportunity to appear before the
members and express their views on
the subject A number of widely
known and influential people, woh are
taking a keen interest in the propohed
institution, are expected to be present.
Among those at the first hearing
were Hon. Oakley C.tCurtis, mayor of
Portland and Democratic candidate

just gotten through with a lively little
associate justice of the Supreme Court.
He relinquishes his Office of attorney
general this week and. T. w. Gregory
of Texas, confirmed also for the place,
succeeds him. AS attorney general
Mr.. McReynods drew a salary of Sl2,-
900 and he will draw the same salary
as associate justice. But the latter
office is for life, which makes it, of
course, attractive. Although he goes
upon the court as a Democrat, his
nomination does not increase the Dem
ocratic representation there, as he took
the place of the late Justice Lurton,
whom President Taft appointed and
Justice Lurton was recognized DEM
ocrat. The court still stands three
Democrats and six Republicans.
There is one other former attorney
general upon the Supreme Court
bench, Justice McKenna, He was at
torney general under President Nc
Kinley, who selected him for the
bench. Similarly President Roosevelt
promoted Attorney General William
H. Moody to the Supreme Court. Mr.,
Moody had a serious illness which in
capacitated him for service and was
retired by special act of Congress. 1t
has frequently happened that attor-
neys general have been given positions
on the Supreme Court. Justice Nc
Reynolds will be one of the most i'm
posing figures upon the high bench,
is a good lawyer, and should have
him. He is 81 years old, which is re-
garded as about the ideal age for a
new justice of the Supreme Court
His duties as a member of President
Wilson's cabinet have been of very
strenuous character. He will welcome
the more secluded and less intense
efforts required of him in the court.
The Department of Justice has be-
come a great law-enforctng factory.
a few years ago there were half
dozen attorneys on its roster, as as
sistant attorneys general; now there
are score and more. There are suits
upon suits against corporations. which
nowadays are handled from here IN
Washington rather than from the
offices of district attorneys. All In all
the attorney general has one of the
most exacting positions in the cabi-
net The way ahead of Mr.. Gregory
will be full of obstacles. Thus far
Washington has not had much meas
ure of the man
