II ALL MEANT
By HARoLD CARTER.

To Clarice 1t seemed the most
amazing thing in the world. Only
three weeks before marriage had been
the farthest thing from her thoughts.
OF course, she had hoped to be mar
ried some day, as every girl does. But
some day" seems any day when one
is only twenty-three.
And now she was engaged. And to
Richard Littlefield, the famous editor
of the most famous, though not the
most widely circulated magazine in
America. L~ittlefield was only thirty
-four, but when old Granger died, dur
ing the previous year, he had at once
been selected for his position, and had
filled it uncommonly well.
The wife of Richard Littlefleld!
Why, Clarice's father had taken the
magazine for years and sworn by it.
AS Littlefield's wife she would meet
everybody who was Of the least-and
most-consequence In every field of
art.
1t had happened very simply. Rich
ard had come to stay at the little
summer hotel next door, and he had
met Clarice. and they had loved each
other. That was all she knew about
1t, Clarice would explain to her in
Quiring friends.
And when Richard went away he
bent down and whispered that he was
coming back for her soon-as soon as
he could make arrangements. This
was September, and they hoped to be
married at Christmas.
Nevertheless, Clarice's happiness
had not been untinged with distress.
Though Richard talked like any ordi-
nary man, she knew that his mind
was one of the most brilliant in
America. And she, with her poor
,education-a mere high school one
how could she make a at wife for
Richard?
Clarice had, indeed, surreptitiously
endeavored to improve her education
from the first day she met Richard.
but she gave it up in despair. The
task was too big a one to be COM
pleted by Christmas. She had also,
because her widowed mother was not
well of, tried to improve her culinary

Poor, desperate Clarice resolved to
learn her fate from Richard. She
would write him a letter, under the
name she had adopted-George Black
and post 1t from Hazelton. the next
village. She wrote a pitiful inquiry as
to the cause for the rejection Of her
two stories. Tell me frankly" she
wrote, whether / have the ability to
write stories that The Leviathan' will
like"
The appeal touched Richards heart;
and because, with all his wisdom, he
still suffered from the folly known as
youth, he wrote back to the author.
Delicately, tactfully, mercilessly he
pointed out the deficiencies In his
work. The immaturity, the ignorance
Of life, the inexperience of the themes
with which he dealt, Richard expound-
ed. And in the final sentence he ad-
vised him to wait awhile before offer
ing stories, and then not to offer them
to THE Leviathan."
Three days after writing this letter,
which Littleield had expected would
gently, decisively, and kindly turn his
correspondents thoughts from the
literary road, the editor received q
letter which made him tear his hair
and then thrust on his hat and rush
wildly from the Office to the railway
station.
It was a ten-page letter, but it might
all have been contained in a couple of
lines. Clarice had written that she
could not marry him.
Eight hours later a w~ild-eyed, dis
heveled figure, which nobody on earth
could have mistaken for a famous
editor, was hammering on the front
door Of Clarice's house. Clarice's
mother opened and recoiled in amaze-
ment.
"Clarice!" muttered the great edi-
tor.
rs it you, Richard! She's in bed,
with a sick headache"
II must see her at once" he blurted
out.
Clarice's mother had gone through
the experiences of youth herself. So,
instead of thrusting him out into the
night, she led him in and put him
upon a lounge, and, ten minutes later,
Clarice appeared. red-eyed, but tam
talizingly pretty az ever.
What does this meant" exclaimed
Richard Littlef1eld, holding out the
letter.
1T MEANS" sobbed Clarice, that
that l am George Black"
George Black" echoed the editor.
"Ye-es." wept Clarice. you told me
that my st-stories weren't any good,
and that from the im-im-immatu-turity
of them you gu-guessed ! was a wo-wo-
woman. and that l couldn't write for
the Lev-v-viathan.'"
A light burst in on Littlefield's an
guished soul.
Good heavens!" he muttered. But
why did you want to write stories"
Because / knew you thought me
ignorant and foolish" murmured Clar-
ice, "and l knew l wasn't a fit wife
for you, and l wanted to sh-show you
that / was capable of becoming a
ll-literary person."
Dearest" murmured her fiance,
drawing her upon his knee, IF you
knew how / detest literary persons!
That's my business, Clarice, not my
life. I loved you just for yourself. l
should hate to have you writing sto-
ries. And now I've got to catch the
night train back. Our engagements
still fl%ourishing, isn't it,"
And Clarice's happy smile and kiss
answered his question.
That was how the cookbook came
to be restored to the post of honor
upon the bookshelf again.

HUNT ENDEAVORS TO DEFEND HIS POLICY
 ON DEATH PENALTY
Claims That Both Law and Con-
 science Uphold Him in Refusal To Carry Out Capital Punish

In reply to critics of his capital punishment policy Governor Hunt has addressed an answer which in part is as follows, 50 many charges and accusation unworthy of serious attention have been hurled at me through newspaper medium. directed by interests antagoistic to my ad- ministration. and by a candidate for the Democratic nomination for the office hold. and SO little of the mass-or mess--has appeared Co jus ufy any sort Of notice, that ] have been constrained to pass them by un- der the general head Of ignored.
