They were silent for a while and
then the old man said huskily:
You shall. You shall sleep In Sefy's

me be Seffy and myself too! 1t is
much-but let me try"
But he had caught that little slip
OF the tongue. and was dumb.
They sat silent by the fire for long
time then. Presently the old man rose
and lifting her he said, with a smile
such as she had never seen on his
face:
"Yas-for sefy's sake-come!
Nowl"
1t was night. But he led her from
her own house to his. And that night
she slept In Sefy's bed.
One OF Sally's duties was the nightly
reading OF the Farm Journal. And
just now this paper, edited by a gen.
ueman who knew nothing about farm.
ing-and by him edited well-was full
OF the great meeting OF the National
Farmers League OF the United States
OF America, which was In session al
Omaha.
by far the most intelligent and
interesting paper OF the session, thus
far" Sally read one night. was that
on The Proper Succession OF Crops in
Maryland by the youthful president
of the Kansas State league. Mr."
Sally rose suddenly and vanished to
the kitchen where there was a light.
What was it?" asked the old man
when she returned.

truthfully. "and went for a drink"

to send ones memory backward. And
this II was doing for both OF them.

"Mebby some's got no homes-and

said presently.
Il hope not" said Sally. I'VE could
take them In here IL we knew where
they are-couldn't we, pappy?'
But that last note was the one which
dams up tears.
"Yas-if we knowed where they air!

Otherwise Ii was very much as Sally
had planned and hoped. save that she
was a bit sadder. She kept Seffy's
fathers house. as. perhaps, no house
was ever kept before. She had not
been famous for the keeping OF her
own house in the days OF her coquette-

own hands did all-and did IL with

PRESIDENT WILSON'S MESSAGE
Continued from page one)

lem Is an exceedingly serious and
pressing one I'm this country. There
has from time to time OF late been rea.
son TO fear that our railroads would
not much longer be able TO cope with
II successfully, as at present equipped
and co-ordinated. 1 suggest that II
would be wise to provide for a com.
mission OF inquiry to ascertain by a
thorough canvass Of tho whole ques.
tion whether our laws as at present
framed and administered are as serv-
iceable as they might be In the solu.
ZION OK the problem. 1t Is obviously
q problem that lies at the very foun-
dalton OF our efficiency as a people.
Such an inquiry ought to draw out
every circumstance and opinion worth
considering. and we need to know
all sides OF the matter II we mean to
do anything in the field OF federal leg
islation.
No one, / am sure, would wish to
take any backward step. The regula-
ton or the railways Of the country by
federal commission has had admirable
results and has fully justified the
hopes and expectations OF those by
whom the policy Of regulation was
originally proposed. The question is
not, What should we undo? 1t Is
whether there Is anything else we can
do that would supply US with effective
means, In the very process of regu.
lation, for lettering the conditions I'M
der which the railroads are operated
and for making them more useful serv-
ants OF the country as a whole. II
seems to me that It might be the part
or wisdom, therefore, before further
legislation In this field is attempted,
to look at the whole problem OF co-or-
dination and efficiency in the full light
or fresh assessment of circumstance
and opinion. as guide to dealing with
the several parts Of 1t.
For what we are seeking now. what
In my mind Is the single thought Of
this message, Is national efficiency and
security. We serve a great nation.
We should serve It In the spirit OF its
peculiar genius. 1t Is the genius OF
common men for self government, In
dustry. Justice, liberty and peace. We
should see to It that II lacks no in
strument. no facility or vIgor OF law.
90 make It sufficient TO play its part
with energy, safety and assured sue
cess. In this we are no partisans but
heralds and prophets Of a new age.
