Senator and Mrs. Mason were called
to the stand, n after the other, TO
testify that she Was not yet eighteen.

TENTH STORY
The Trial OF Souls

Senator Mason. for more years
than most people cared TO remem-
Der, had held the thriving little up
state city of Masonburg In his vest
pocket.
He was the clty's richest man, the
county's political boss and IFS leading
corporation lawyer. Though n decade
had passed, since his single term IN
the senate, he still bore the proud
courtesy-title OF senator" In Ma
sonburg and In Somers county, his
will was supreme.
OF such unussniiei carbon as only
n small-city magnate can exercise,
his sway was protested.
II was not a fellow millionaire or
another politician who challenged his
rule. That would have been easier
to bear. No, his enemy was no great
or parsonage than Stephen Fletcher,
owner and editor OF the local news
paper.
Fletcher had recently begun a cam
paign or news stories und editorials
attacking the senator In person and
his financial and political methods
and his sources OF wealth. 1t was
very Irritating. Doubly so, because
all that Fletcher said about Mason
was true.
Little by little, Senator mason had
worked himself into a homicidal rage
against this foe who would neither
be bribed nor blurred into submis-
sion. The climax came one day when,
opening his morning paper. "The Ma
sonburg Daily Appeal" Mason read
these two-column headlines on the
front page:
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1916-11-23

was alleged to have played a some
what doubtful role.
Mason waxed apopleptlc with indig-
nation as he read. Nor was his wrath
lessened by a front-page cartoon of
himself. in guise of n holdup man,
shouting "Your Franchise or Your
Life" to q group of trembling city
fathers.
His wife-a sallow. perpetually
tilhid woman-sat ut his side, trying
In vain to assuage his wrath. Her
weli-meant condolences served only
10 make him the angrier.
"Im going TO shut up that news
paper" he growled, "if 1t takes every
cen i have. And I'm going to get
back at Stephen Fletcher if"
He stopped short. with q grunt. Two
people-a man and n girl-had en-
tered the room. The a paused near
the door. In the dim light. Mason
did not at once recognize him. The
girl came shyly forward.
At sight of her the glover van
ished from Mason's face. He and his
wife jumped TO their feet in happy ex-
element.
"Rose !" they cried In unison.
"Dad mother !" said Rose. ner-
vously. kissing them one after the
other. "I've some news for you. Some
tremendous news. Promise mo- to be
angry"
Angry with you, you precious lit
tie girl?" laughed Mason indulgent-
~. mot muchi What issthis 'tremend-
Gus newsr"
Drawing Tom forward from the
curtained gloom Of the doorway, Rose
summoned W her courage and an
swered:
"We were married this morning.
Tom and i. Just a half an hour ago

An inarticulate roar Of truly dread
full ~ferocity from the senator inter
rupted her ~faltering confession.
"Married" he sputtered, his bull
voice drowning q lesser cry of dis

"But I am. dad" Rose insisted. very
pale, but with a resolve 10 stand her
ground. "Ara won't you forgive us.

Please, dad. dear! Pleasew
OF a sudden he whirled to face the
bride and groom.
CLEAR put Of here, both of you! !"
he shouted. .Clear out and keep
out Rose, you have married a

Of you!"
Taking Roses ice-chilled hand in
his, Tom led the sobbing girl GU of
the house.
"We're we'll rid of her I" scoffed Ma
son. III she could sink to marrying
a fellow like that, she's no longer"
He left the house and went TO the
office of his lawyers, thence to the dis
trict attorneys Office, and back 10 his
own home two hours later.
He entered the house with a look
of grim triumph on his heavy face.
"Wellr he grunted, as his wife
came to meet him, II fancy young
Fletcher is settled pretty satisfactor-
lily OF last. And his father, too"
"Oh!" ~interposed Mrs. Mason,

"Heard?" he queried. Heard
what?'
II thought you had, by the way
you spoke" she replied. "ROse called
me up fifteen minutes ago. She's ut

and mother behaved beautifully about
the marriage and that they're ever so
nice to Rose. She and Tom are to

You ought TO be more careful not

not going TO live with the Fletchers
for the present, but at the county Jail.
And a little later at the states prison
for about seven years or more. Also
Mr.. Stephen Fletcher is not going to
