in response to a salute, Wentworth
rose with a start and glanced sharply
about him. He felt that some n was
watching him. His eyes met the
gaze of his sister. She sat on a nearby
bench staring at him, a newspaper In
her lap and her hands clasped list
nessly owe 1t.
why, Dorryl How long have you
beer here? Did you call me?"
II did not speak to you," she an
swered quietly. when l laid down
my paper a minute ago you sat there.
He did not offer to take a place be-
side her, though she moved to make
room for him. His face flushed hotly
when his glance fell on the headlines
of a paper that lay in Dorcas' lap.
Have you seer the story about
yourself In the Tines"
"Of course | have" answered Enoch
impatiently. ct was not my doing.
Oswald insisted on it Every paper is
~clamoring for news. We reproduce
the play the first week of December
''The paper speaks of you alone
Merry isn't given credit for even ,sug-
costing the plot. His name is not
mentioned"
Wentworth's brow wrinkled into ar
ugly scowl. How could he be mem
toned? He. can't be found-any-
where
Mr.. Oswald said yesterday he was
in the Catskills, ready to come on
at a moments notice."
II wish to God he were!" cried
Wentworth desperately. I
why don't you tell Mr.. Oswald the
truth?"
'Dorcas. you're a child. You don't
understand that | am up against a
harder proposition than l a meet"
1T seems to me, Enoch," said the
girl slowly, "if you had not"
She did not finish the sentence. She
had turned her eyes away from her
brother and stared at the multitude
of craft in the bay, jostling each
other as vehicles do on Broadway.
Had not what?" he insisted.
She met his eyes calmly and they
wavered before her own. Il mean II
you had 0 made a false start-if you
had gone into this honestly-every-
thing would have come out happily"
Wentworth did not answer.
Il can't feel, Enoch, that Merry has
had fair play
The man stamped his foot impa-
tiently.
Help me to find him, then. Things
will straighten out if he puts in an
appearance. Come, let US walk home.
It's too chilly for you to sit here"
Dorcas rose and folded the paper
which lay on her lap. She kept up
with her brothers long strides through
the crowd that thronged Broadway.

Old Fable Revised.

The grasshopper knocked humbly al
the door of.the ants prosperousflook-
ing home.
What do you want?" said the ant,
in a thin, hard voice.
"a little food, and shelter from the
cold Winds" replied the grasshopper.
Il can feel the icy hand of winter
clutching at my throat"
"And, may / ask" said the unsym-
pathetic ant, how comes it that you
have wasted the summer"
THE sun shone bright. Everything
was gay and l did naught fut dance
from morn till night"
why didn't 0 tell me that be-
fore?" said the ant, smiling her sweet
est smile. Come right in and make
yourself at home. I've been too busy
to learn the new dances, and, If you'll
teach me, you can name your OWN
price."-Puck.

Some Of the methods Of the clergy
were legitimate; others were not.
Their influence as preachers upon
public, opinion was that of leaders;
and SO long as they exercised 1t in
the interest of the people of the colony
as a whole, 1t was right and good.
But when they abused it to beat a
governor who, feeling that their pun
ishments were too cruel, attempted to
use the discretion which was properly
his; when they put of conventions to
times and places where they could
control them against public opinion;

Eyes Met the Gaze of His Sister.
After a few minutes silence he asked
suddenly: How did you happen to
see Mr.. Oswald yesterday
He called at the house"

"on business. He has asked me to
play Cordelia.,"
1T might have occurred to him to

eyes were turned straight ahead on
the busting street.

when did Oswald suggest this? ?"
Several weeks ago. He has talked
with me about it more than once"
He might have taken me into his
confidence" snarled Wentworth.
He knew how you felt about it
Besides. Enoch," the girls voice
trembled, .Tbesides-lately have not

Wentworth did not answer until

The YOUNG Idea.

Johnny was putting some questions
to his father on the subject of astron-

If the moon was inhabited.
"Oh. yes" said the parent; there
are people living in the moon"
Are there many?" Queried the
youngster.

hold Office. Like our modern political
bosses, they ruled through others.
And those of us who think that "low-
down politicians r the only men
that take orders will please observe
that in this case those clerical bosses
ruled through the gentry in Office and
their congregations. Indeed, it seems
to have been easier to corrupt that
~aristocracy into a theocracy than it ia
nowadays to corrupt a democracy into

How Many Miles Daily7

Answering a correspondent who
wanted to tour to San Diego. Cal, Mo-
tor Print says:
Until you reach the Rocky noun
tains you might average 200 miles a
day. although you might find this a
little too arduous. One hundred and
fifty miles is an easy 1aunt for a
single day. and this distance is as
much as you might care to accom-
piish. This all depends on your own
taste. In the mountainous districts
100 miles a day would be good. There
