CHAPTER XII.
Loss and Gain.

Striving feebly as one who gathers
up the shreads and fragments after an
explosion. Griswold remembered
cloudily the supper Of tasteless
courses at the Hotel Chouteau. After
ward there were vague impressions.
momentary breaches in the wall Of in
closing darkness. In one OF those
intervals a woman had stood beside
him, and he seemed to remember that
she had put her cold hand on his
forehead. When complete conscious
ness returned, the dream impression
was still so sharply defined that he
was not surprised to find her stand
ing at his bedside.
Before he could frame any Of the
queries which came thronging to the
door of the returned consciousness,
she smiled and shook her head and
forbade him.
Late in the day the doctor came;
and when the professional require
ments were satisfied. Griswold learned
the bare facts Of his succoring. 1t
was characteristic of the Griswold of
other days that the ncmense obliga-
ton under which the Griersons had
placed him made him gasp and per-
spire afresh.
Griswold looked long and earnestly
at the face Of his professional adviser.
1t was a good face, clearly lined, be-
nevolent, and, above all, trustworthy
Tell me one thing more. doctor. If
you can. What was the motive? Was
it Just heavenly good-heartedness?-
or"
The doctors smile was the least
possible shade wintry.

ut Is Pretty Late to Begin Looking
for the Thief Now"

when you have lived a few years
longer in this world of ours, you will
not probe too deeply into motives:
you will take the deed as the sutfi-
cient exponent of the prompting be-
hind it. If say so much, you will
understand that l am not impugping
Miss Grierson's motives. There are
times when she is the good angel of
everybody in sight, Mr."
The pause after the courtesy title
was significant, and Griswold filled it
promptly. Griswold-Kenneth Girls
void. Do you mean to say that you
haven't known my name. doctor?"
I'VE have not. We took the Good
Samaritans privilege and ransacked
your belongings-Miss Margery and
thinking there might be relatives
or friends who should be notified"
"And you found nothing?" queried
the sick man, a cold fear gripping at
his heart.
Nothing but clothing and your toi-
let tools, a pistol, and typewriter
book manuscript bearing no sigma
ture.'
Griswold turned his face away and
shut his eyes. Once more his stake
in the game of life was gone.
There was another package of-of
papers in one Of the grips" he said,
family; quite a large package wrap
ped in brown paper"
1--WE found nothing but the manu-
script. Could anyone else make use
of the papers you speak OFF,
Griswold was too feeble to prevari-
cate successfully.
There was money in the package, u
he said. leaving the physician to infer
what he pleased.
"Ah, then you were robbed. It's a
pity we didn't know it at the time. 1t
is pretty late to begin looking for
the thief now, I'm afraid"
quite too late," said Griswold mo-
notonously.
1t was not until after the doctor had
gone that Griswold was able to face
the new misfortune with anything
like q sober measure of equanimity.
With or without money he must re-
lieve the Griersons of their self
assumed burden at the earliest pos
sible moment.
This was the thought with which he
sank into the first natural sleep of
convalescence. But during the days
. which followed, Margery was able to
modify it without dulling the keen
edge of his obligation. What perfect
hospitality could do was done, with
out ostentation, with the exact degree
of spontaniety which made it appear
as a service rendered to a kinsman
1t was one of the gifts of the daugh-
ter of men to be able to ignore al
the middle distances between an in
PRODUCTION and a friendship; and by
the time Griswold was strong enough
to let the big, gentle Swede plant him
in a Morris chair in the sun-warmed
bay window, the friendship was fact
accomplished.
do you know, you're the most won
derful person 1 have ever known
he said to Margery, on the first of the

Secret Orders.--There are some pee

Secret Orders.--There are some peo-
ple-but only a few, we believe-who
are opposed to secret orders and can
see no good in them. Those who are
of this way of thinking should con-
slider what is being done by the Cen
erostee tribe Of Red Men, which has
its headquarters in the Orr mills viii
lage.
Some time ago a member Of the
lodge died and left a widow and little
son. The widow was able to support
herself and could have supported her
| child, Of course, but the Red Men step
ped in and adopted the boy, in a sort
Of informal way. Ever since then the
lodge has cared for the boy. All Of the
cost Of his living is paid by the lodge
and the members keep watch over him
They pay for his clothes and every
thing he needs. and they send him to
| school. The other night they had ar
entertainment in their hall in his hon
or. He was the honor guest. and ev-
erything was done to make him have
a pleasant evening.
The Red Men do many things Of this
kind. They make life pleasant fol
others as they go along. They do not
advertise the good deeds they do, OF
course, and therein lies much of the
real good in what they do.
In doing good to others the Red
Men make themselves better men
And this is true Of many other secret
orders. Those who oppose secret or
ders simply do not know what they
are doing Daily Mail.

PUBLISHING THE NEWS

Duty Of Newspaper is to Give it's
Readers the Truth.
The Yorkville Enquirer was Sc.
verely criticised because it published
certain red hot words handed out in
speech by Mr.. Blease at the Fflbert
picnic In justification Of its course
The Enquirer writes capital editorial
on the duty Of a newspaper to pub
lish the news. We reproduce the fol-
lowing sentence from this editorial
which is quite sufficient:
when II comes to things Of general
public interest we try to print the
news as correctly as we can, whether
1t is pleasing to us or not. We have
no apologies to make in this matter"
1t Is certainly the duty Of every
newspaper to publish the news. II
makes no difference what may be the
view Of the editor on anything that
has in its news that is fit to print.
He owes it to the public, and we do
not hesitate to add, to himself to give
the news to his readers. 1t Is news,
and to publish the news Is one Of the
most important functions Of news
paper This means, Of course. that he
is not to color the news, in any way to
suit himself. but to hand 1t out straight
from the shoulder, just as 1t occurred.
A newspaper that does this may be
criticised but 1t will receive far more
commendation than criticism; for the
general public believes in fairness,
and in honesty. And, what II it should
not receive one word Of approval? Is
not an editors sense Of right and JUS
tice worth a great deal to him? 1t
matters little what others may think,
so long as he seeks to do right. He
and his paper will command the high
est admiration and respect from all
right thinking people. We have heard
a man condemned for speaking out
when duty required 1t. and when his
critics were faced with the question,
Is he not right? The answer always
was: "Yes, he is usually right, but
wish he had not said It," Deep down in
the heart Of that critic there Is a sense
of right that forces him to approve Of
an honest, conscientious man be he
editor or ot-Greenwood Journal.

Paying His Way.-In South Carolina
there is a candidate for congress who
has developed what might appear
strange ideas. He is actually paying
the newspapers for the use Of their
columns, asking no free puffs," con-
sideration expected as matter OF
course by the average candidate for
congress or any other office. This man,
A. H. Miller Of Greer. has bought
space in the papers in his district, just
as a merchant or other business man
would make an advertising contract,
and is thus reaching the voters in
legitimate and an admirably honest
way. 1t has often occurred To us why
the free use Of the newspaper by can
didates has not been the subject Of
n press convention paper. 1t is a GUS
tom coming out Of the past when the
newspapers. from patriotic motives,
enlisted their space and their energies
in behalf Of the party and the candi-
date who represented the party. be-
cause neither the party nor the candi-
dates were able to pay for it, and the
election Of these men meant the saliva
tion Of the south. But times have
changed. The man who aspires to
public office has no more right to ex
pect free advertising from a newspa-
per than he would expect free goods
from a merchant. The country has
been saved and the thousands Of patri-
OTIS who are volunteering to keep II
saved ought to be willing to pay for
the privilege. In q few instances a
man may be brought forward as mer-
iting state or national reward and in
whose behalf 1t would be proper and
right for the papers to enlist their aid
for the good Of community or cause,
but the average candidate goes into
the campaign for personal aggrandize-
ment and with no claims as a pension
er on press or country One reason
why so many newspapers in North
Carolina are poor-some as poor as
Jobs turkey, others as poor as June
shad-is that they continue to give
something for nothing, countenancing
through force of custom the miscel-
laneous lot of beggars that consider
themselves. also through force Of
habit, privileged to knock at the DOORS
and Of which miscellaneous lot the
politician Is the most insistent and
most .ungrateful-C Charlotte Observer.
