Will Be Answered.

Under the auspices OF the Equal
Suffrage League OF this city, Hon.
Helen Ring Robinson will appear az
the Elks Club this evening, TO dis
cuss the topic. The Home and the
Ballot Box" Mrs. Robinson is most
capable of handling this subject. as
she has served the state of Colorado
as a state enato for the last year.
n her term will continue for three
more years, and she has had every
opportunity to conceive the benefits
derived from the granting of suffrage
TO women
The point that the Senator will en-
deavor TO bring u most in her ad-
dress will be the good that the wo-
men are doing in ne states where
they are admitted the ballot. and she
viii bring up many facts concerning
this. among which wiz be how wo-
men have furnished pure drinking
water for their communities and
various other important items. and
with many such results. IL is most
evident that woman is deserving OF
the vote.
The Woman Senator" has lust
completed a tour of Pennsylvania IN
the interest of the suffrage amend
ment OF that state. and she has also
given lectures in New York. She ad-
dressed the state senate at Albany.
nv aAhbAAAhA W ne new 1olh

Mrs. Robinson was chairman OF
the Committee on Education n Ed
ucational Institutions at the first SEES
sion Of the Colorado legislature when

other important committees. Among
the measures she succeeded in hav-
ing passed was the minimum wage
women law. this bearing her name.
and she is now chairman OF the only
hOldover committee Of the Colorado
senate. that on State institutions.
At the meeting this evening, Mrs.
Robinson solicits the asking of Ques-
lions, and those planning TO attend are
asked 20 write any question pertain
ing to he subject. this to be
answered froEc the stage. OF IL not
having come prepared. any oral ques-
ton will be discussed and explained.
These items will make the evening
doubly interesting and IL Is expected
that the Elks Club will be filled TO
the doors.

Hetty was gloomily but resolutely
employed in laying out certain of her
personal belongings. preparatory to
packing them for departure, when
Sara entered her room.
They regarded each other steadily,
questioningly for a short space of
time.

Sara. with a peculiar little twisted
smile on her lips.
Hetty offered no comment, but after
a moment gravely and rather wistfully

hand and a saddened smile.

You wrong me vilely! You must

Hetty suddenly threw herself upon
the couch and buried her face in her
arms. Great sobs shook her slender
frame.
Sara stood over her and watched for
a long time with pitiless eyes. Then
a queer, uneasy, wondering light be-
gan to develop in those dark, ominous
eyes. She leaned forward the better
TO listen to the choked, in~artfculate
words that were pouring from the
girls lips. At last, moved by some
power she could not have accounted
for, she knelt beside the ~quivering
body. and laid her hand, almost tim
orously, upon the girls shoulder.
"Hetty-Hetty, il l have wronged

from the cushions. Il did not dream

Hetty lifted her head and cried out:

refused to hear my story. You have

holding It against me, damning me

Sara seized her hands and held them
in a fierce, tense grip. Her eyes we're
glowing with a strange fire.
Tell me-tell me now, on your soul,
Hetty we're you-were you"
mo- No! On my soul, mol"
Look into my eyes!"
The girls eyes did not falter. She
met the dark, penetrating gaze OF the
other and. though dimmed by tears,
her blue eyes were ~steadfast and reso-
lutte. Sara seemed to be searching the
very soul OF her, the soul that laid
itself bare, denuded of every vestige
OF guile.
Il think I believe YOU" came
slowly from the lips OF the searcher.

toward the door. Her eyes were fixed
On her In a wondering. puzzled sort
OF way, and she was shaking her head
as II trying to discredit the new emo
ton that had come to displace the one
created ages ago.
Slowly Hetty Castleton ~retreated
toward the door. With her hand on
the knob, she paused.

Some one was tapping gently at the
door.

girl, after a long period of silence.
Yes"
1t was Murray. "Mr. Leslie has re-
turned, Miss Castleton. and asks II

"oo hOt lying dOWhs WI. NIdll-

nothing ominousE in the words, but he
experienced a sudden sensation OF

claimed. with a pleading little smile
that would have touched the heart of

He could only say. mechanically:

Think, for heavens sake, think

for the edge of the table with a sup
p~ort-seeking hand. II had Sara's

Unfortunately Sara cannot speak

losing his temper. q love you! It's

to be refused by any woman. L"
Mr.. Wrandall!" she cried, fixing
him with her flashing, indignant eyes.
You are forgetting yourself" She
was standing very straight and slim
and imperious before him.
He quailed. II beg your pardon.
II"
There is nothing more to be said"
she went on icily. '"Goodby."
Would you mind telling me wheth-
er there is anyone else?" he asked, as
he turned toward the door.
DO you really feel that you have
the right to ask that question, Mr..
Wrandall?"
He wet his lips with his tongue.
Then, there is some one!" he cried,
rapping the table with his knucklee.
He didn't realize till afterward how
vigorously he raped. Some con-
founded English nobody, l suppose"
She smiled, not unkindly. There
is no English nobody. If that

Then. will you be kind enough to
offer a reason for not giving me a

It's due"
Cant you see how you are dis
tressing me? Must l again go through

Can't you take a plain no for an an
swer?"
Good Lord!" he gasped, and in
those two words he revealed the com
plete overturning of a lifelong .esti-
mate Of himself. 1t seemed to take
more than his breath away.
"Goodby," she said with finality.
He stared at the door through which
she disappeared, his hopes, his con.
ceit, his self-regard trailing after her
with shameless disloyalty to the
standards he had set for them, and
then, with a rather CHASTITY smile of
self-commiseration on his lips. he
slipped out Of the house. jumped into
the motor car, and gave a brief but
explicit command to the chauffeur,
who lost no time in assisting his mas
