There was short spacesof silence.

Mrs. Boyd and Mrs. Sargent passed
them admiringly. but went on by with
a trace of sadness.
I'm sorry to leave" Gail replied. II
shall be very anxious to know how
you are coming on with your new
plan. I'm proud Of you for it"
Thank you," he returned.
They were talking mechanically. In
them was an inexpressible sadness.
They had come so near. and yet they
were SO far apart Moreover. they
knew that there was no chance OF
change. 1t was a matter Of conscience
which came between them, and 1t was
a divergence which would widen with
the years. And yet they loved. Thief
mutually knew 1t. and 1t was because
of that love that they must stay
apart.

Wronu Impression.

A Quaker fell asleep i'll meeting and
soon began to snore. For awhile the
nasal notes were soft and smooth and
did not disturb the worshipers, but
finally the sleeper let out few ex-

disconcerting.

acquaintance, digging the other in the

'All my life have been slave to

health, but / used to say nonsense, it

Slowly I was forced to admit the
truth and the final result was that my
nervous force was shattered.
my heart became weak and uncer-
tain in it's action and that frightened
me. Then my physician told me that
l must stop drinking coffee or could
never expect to be well again.
Il thought of Postum but could
hardly bring myself to give up the
coffee.

to myself to give Postum trial. / got
a package and carefully followed the

as the days went by kept on improv-

The fire had gone out. Peabody re-
built 1t. He came in an hour later,
and studied the silent man at the desk
for long minute, and then he decided
an important question for himself. He
brought in Allison's dinner on a tray
and set it on a corner Of the desk.
At eleven Peabody came in again. to
see II Allison were not ready to go to
bed; but Allison sent him away as
soon as he had fixed the fire. The tray
was untouched, and out there In the
dim moonlight, which peered now and
then through the shifting clouds, the
long-armed willow beckoned and
beckoned.
Morning came, cold and gray and
damp as the night had been. Allison
had fallen asleep towards the dawn,
sitting at his desk with his heavy
head on his arms, and not even the
clatter Of the building OF the fire
reused him. At seven when Peabody
came, Allison rose up with q start
at the opening Of the door, but before
he glanced at Peabody. he looked out
of the window at the willow.
Woodworking" said Peabody, with
q cheerfulness which sounded oddly
In that dim, bare room. II brought
you the paper, and some fresh eggs.
There was little touch Of frost this
morning, but it went away about time
for sun-up. How will you have your
eggs? Fried, suppose. after the
steak. Seems like you don't have
much appetite" and he scrutinized the
untouched tray with mingled regret
and resentment. Since Allison paid
no attention to him. he decided on
eggs fried after the steak, and started
for the door.
Allison had picked up the paper me-
chemically. 1t had lain with the top
part downwards, but his own picture
was in the center. He turned the pa
per over, so that he could see the
headlines.

calmness with which he took this
blow. It was the very bigness of the
hurt which left it so little painful. A
man with his leg shot off suffers not
,one-tenth SO much as man who tears
his fingernail to the quick. Moreover.
there was that other big horror which
had left him stupefled and numb. He
had not known that in his ruthless

or for terror of himself at anything

will be worse than a war The cause
of it comes from the inability of most
of us to see both sides Of a cOntrO-

of perception of all of us when it

The workers know that conditions

bosses who direct labor know the
same thing, but away from the la

institutions, beliefs and customs
that blinds labor bosses and monOp-

THE PUBLIC FORUM
KEEPING THE PUBLIC UNIN-

KEEPING The PUBLIC UNlN-
FORMED.-It seems to me that the
important function of our so-caIled
newspapers today is to keep the gen
eraI public in the dark by not pub
fishing the real news. They print
plenty of bunk, phony ads and news
which is of no particular Importance
to the average working man, and
columns of stuff about murders, So
ciety divorce cases, sporting and
financial news, but they fail to print
real news that is of interest to work
ing men. For instance:
Very little labor union news is pub
Iished unless it is to discredit the
unions. The larger. part of the peO-
pie of Chicago do not seem to know 1
that the mayor of Milwaukee is a
Socialist. This is probably caused by
the papers not publishing the returns
of the election in Milwaukee last
spring. Comparatively few people
know much about the Pittsburgh
strike cases, where men and women
were jailed on the charge of melting
to riot when as a matter of fact the
strike-breaking guards were the
guilty ones.
Not much has been said about the
strike-breaking mine guards at Rosi-
clare, Ill, who forced some of the
elected public officials to resign and
drove union miners out of the coUn-
ty. Very little is said about the
strike now in progress in the iron
mines of the U. S. Steel Co. in Min
nesOta.
The prospective strike Of railroad
workers to secure an eight-hour day
is twisted to mean that more wages
is the thing that they are after, and
the poor, busted railroads, which only
cleaned up about one thousand mil
lion dollars last year, would have to
pay about one hundred million dol
lars more in wages and they should
