A bright spot in Freddie's brain
made the following calculation: 80

But, as before, a bright spot inter

Freddie.
Tommy gave him his card.

Importantly out of the room.
He had new proposition now. How
to take Sweetzer, Mrs. Baxter and Mr.
Barclay all to Celestia at the same
time, so that he could get all the
money. This new proposition re-
quired very patient thinking, and he
walked on and on without consider
ing in the least where he was going.
After a long time he sank down on
bench in Central park and took a nap.
Sometimes he dreamed of solutions to
difficult problems. But he didn't this
time. He was walked by a hand on
his shoulder.

door.

Not without difficulty Freddie col.

more difficulty he wrote note to
Tommy Barclay, to Mrs. Baxter and to

He wrote: "Be at my house (and he

and Tommy saw the narrow hallway
beyond the door burst suddenly into
perfect hell of fire.
He was too late by a matter of in
stants.
If he had not wasted those precious
instants in kissing her he might have
saved her. The agony of soul that he
went through with this realization was
frightful. Death by fire seemed al
most too good for such fool

large extension OF the ballot has be-
come the rule in all free States. The
negro has become a freeman and a
citizen. Everywhere that domain OF
the State which is represented by force
Is contracting and that domain OF the
state which Is represented by public
spirit, by charity. by humanity, is en-
larging. When men thought OF gov
eminent century ago. they thought
chiefly OF the Jail, the criminal court,
the police and army. Today. they
think chiefly OF the college, the techni-
cal school. the asylum. the road, the IT,
brary. the postoffice. the hospital and
the home. The rank OF the State
among civilized nations Is measured by
its colleges. ITS schools of art and
science. its institutions for reform. for
the cure OF the insane. for the educa-
ton OF the blind and the deaf and

the excellence OF its Libraries its
schools, its churches and its roads.
Now the debate between the advo-
Gates of woman suffrage and its oppon-

Oconee, having been "born in

McElroy himself. His father pur-
chased a tract OF land at the head of

his family to live. The lumber was
laid down for the erection Of
home, but in the meantime, his fam
