Excerpts,

One of the dodgers at the Claymore
inn had great cause for complaint the
next morning. a restless tramplng
over his head had kept him awake all
night. That it was intermittent had
made it all the more intolerable. Just
when he thought it had stopped it

much more disturbing.
But the complaint never reached

are interested. The feeling we can
understand; the thought-that is, Mrs.
AVerilPs thought-we should do well
to follow.
Inc one great question which had
agitated her was this: Should she trust
the judge? Ever since the discovery
which had changed Reuther's pros
poets she had instinctively looked to
TINS one source for aid and sympathy.
But her faith had been sorely shaken
IN the Interview just related. He was
not the friend she had hoped to find.
He had insisted upon her husbands
guilt, and he had remained unmoyed,
or but very little moved, by the dis
appointment of his son-his only re-
manning link to life. Judge Ostrander
might seem cold-both manner and
temper would naturally be much af-
fected by his unique and solitary mode
OF llfe-but at heart he must love Oil
yer. 1t was not in nature for it to
be otherwise. And yet
1t was at this point in her musing
that there came one of the breaks in
her restless pacing. She was always
of an impulsive temperament, and al
ways giving way to it. Sitting down
before paper and ink she wrote the
following lines:
My Darling If Unhappy Child:
L know that this sudden journey on my
part must strike you as cruel when, If
ever, you need your mothers presence
and care. But the love 1 feel for you,
my Reuther, is deep enough to cause you
momentary pain for the sake of the great
good 1 hope to bring you out of this
shadowy quest I believe, what said to
you on leaving, that a great injustice was
done your father Feeling so, shall l re-
main quiescent and see youth and love
slip from you, without any effort on my
part to set this matter straight? 1 can
not. l have done you the wrong of 81
lence when knowledge would have saved
you shock and bitter disillusion but l will
not add to my fault the inertia of cow
ardly soul. Have patience with me, then;
and continue to cherish those treasures
of truth and affection which you may one
day feel free to bestow once more upon
one who has right to each and all or
them.
This is your mothers prayer-DE
BORAH SCOVILLE.
1t was not easy for her to sign
herself thus. 1t was a name which
she mad Trled ner pest TO IOfget LOT
twelve long, preoccupied years. But
her purpose had been accomplished,
or would be when once this letter
reached Reuther. With these words
in declaration against her she could
not retreat from the stand she had
therein taken.
She recommended that rapid walk
ing to and fro which was working
such havoc in the nerves Of the man
in the room below her. When she
paused it was to ransack trunk and
bring out a fiat wallet filed with news
paper clippings, many of them discol-
ored by time, and all of them showing
marks of frequent handling.
The first was black with old head

were not green now. for the grass
was brown and dry. II had not
rsined for a long time. Peter knew
something of the Red Terror. He
knew that. when things are wet the
Red Terror Is powerless and soon
dies, but that when all Is dry, as
IL now was, the Red Terror sweeps
all before 1t. What IL 1t should

But tender-hearted little Mrs.

bit who was her father? You know
II was in the Old Pasture that
Peter had found little Miss Fuzzy
tail and made her Mrs. Peter. What
OF Old Man Coyote. whose home was
also in the Old Pasture? Much -
little Mrs. Peter feared Old Man
Coyote she couldn't bear to think
of anything so terrible happening
to him as being caught by the Red
Terror. That was too dreadful.
All in n fash Peter remembered
something. why didn't think Of
II before?" he cried. kicking his
heels together joyfully.

Meadows II will have TO stop when
II reaches the water. Let's go over
to the Smiling Pool. We can see
better there and II Is perfectly safe"
Peter was so excited he couldn't
sit still.
Mrs. Peter. who Is very timid. a
very timid person indeed. was afraid
TO 20. but when Peter declared he
was going anyway. she was still
more afraid TO be left behind. so
they hurried over 10 the bank Of
the Smiling Pool. and there they

They could see better there. Sud.
denly Sammy began to scream even
more excitedly than he had been
screaming before.
Look, Look" he cried. Here
comes Reddy Fox, and see who's
with hin."
Everybody got up on tiptoes to
look. Sure enough, down from the
Old Pasture came Reddy Fox run

run before, his tongue hanging out
Of his mouth, and right BY his side
was running some ono else. At hrst
Mrs. Peter could not make out who
It was, but a. they drew nearer her

Sammy Jay.

whitening fire Of literary shrapnel.

Kansas raises hell. Nebraska piles

! that she can trust herself to free
