CHAPTER ".

Slade wanted Katherine Strickland
for his wife much the same as he
would have desired wealthy, clever,
influential man for partner, 1t was
to be union OF ambition. There was
no tenderness in his thoughts of her.
He was actuated purely and simply by
the lust for power and the greed OF
glory. All the softer, better things in
the mans nature were GVamped by
this torrent of craving for worldly sue
cess that was sweeping him on to com
nit the most dastardly act In his long
career of trampling over the heads
and hearts of adversarios and oppo-
nents.
Even when he was boy Dan Slade
had always set his teeth at You can't
do II" or 1T can't be done.' The very
difficulty Of a thing strengthened his
determination to do All his life long
his success had been punctuated by
the ruin Of other men. He had not
advanced SO far without pushing other
men back. Now that a woman instead
of man stood in the way, the result
was the same. His methods might be
quieter, more merciful, but the answer
would be the same. Mary's sterling
worth, her long years of devotion and
sweet tenderness counted for nothing
once he became convinced that Mary's
dowdiness, her standpat policy and her
arrested development were stop-gaps
in his own opportunity for progress
sion. He ignored the fact that the lit
tie brown-eyed, patient woman was as
much part of him as were his eyes
or his arms or any other very essen
tial part of his being.
II was at just this point in SHADES
pitiless reasoning that Mary pcering
over the baluster and seeing him
alone, hurried down the stairs.
Thank goodness, they've gone" she
declared as she came into the room.
Then seeing the numerous side lights
burning she fastened to turn one
after the other down to a glmmer.
I'm so glad you're not going out" she
went on, coming over to him aud rub
bling her cheek against his sleeve. The
little movement was Il pathetically
mute appeal for some caress. "What'd
they say?' she asked, suddenly, as
she realized that her tender yearning
met with no response.
But her husband was in no COM
municative frame of mind.
You're not mad with me, are yer%
she questioned wistfully, very much

Bethlehem School Closing Exercises
(Reporte'l.l

(Reported)
On Friday night, May LIST, 1914
the closing exercises of Bethle-
hem School was a good success.
The members of the Church kind
ly consented for the school to use
the church as the schoolhouse
was small so this added much to
the pleasure of the night. The
church was decorated, using
blue and white for their colors.
The welcome address was said
by a little six year old boy, Ed
ward Allen. Each child acted
their parts well. Among the
best songs were the two sung by
Messrs Charlie and Willie King
and Wreford Hockaday. The
Baby Show by the small child
rem and the play Old Maids and
the Canvasser by the large child
rem were well acted and enjoy
ed by all. The last on the pro
gram was a goodnight song
by five little girls and farewell
recitation by a little. three year
old niece Of our teacher, Ellen
Blanche Hockaday.

like an eager child who has been re-
pressed.
NO" Slade replied, briefly and with
out much interest.
Mary breathed quick sigh of relief.
"Ah, then, wen have a nice, quiet,
pleasant evening" she declared, add
Ing coaxingly Let's go upstairs and
have game of euchre. We haven't
played for ever so long"
slade looked at her, his eyes drawn
into a deep frown. II was true he
wasn't angry with her, but he was
angry at the thwarting circumstances
that were hemming him In. Her very
manner irritated him now-her quiet
,ontentment, her calm acceptance of
her failure to meet his guests and fill
ner place as mistress of his home mad
iened him He was all the moro de.

She looked questionlngly, first at Kath'

I'll be back, auntie, in very few
minutes" Hayes remarked tive got
to work on my car This is Miss
Strickland" and he shut the door.
"Oh = Miss Strickland" repeated
Mary, very much pleased, but very
much in awe Of the senator's daughter.
You called on me once before, but
] had headache. I've often wished
since | hadn't had it. Won't you take
off your things and sit down. It's very
kind of you to call"
Katherine thanked her and sat
down. She had not expected to find
such sweet little woman in Mrs.
Slade. The woman was so little, SO
fragile, so harmless and helpless In
appearance. Even the old-fashioned
cottage made its appeal to the girls
sensitive spirit; the shabby furniture
gave her a vision Of what SHADES ear
Tier life with this woman must have
been. Instead OF her usual poise, she
found herself quito a little at loss
70 know what to do or say before the
frank, sincere gaze Of Shades wife.
The questions she had meant to blurt
out soon after her arrival remained
mutely on her lips. Instead she found
herself answering the questions that
Mary Slade was asking.
She found herself telling the woman
OF her own struggles against increas-
ing poverty, talking OF her own hopes
and ambitions.
Mrs. Siade.. | don't say this is a
social call" Katherine found herself
as frank as the woman at the other
side Of the table.

trouble. Miss StricklanaGe i

once at Mary Then he went.
Hayes stood taking large bites out
of the biscuit, looking at Mary with
an an ed smile,

suicide at her home on Church
st. yesterday about | O'Clock by

the cause of this rash act. Mrs.
