ington is to me only like-like a big
brother. 1t is in order that he might be
with me as a big brother we went through
the ceremony. People about here talk a
great deal, and l have taken his name to
prevent that. That is all And you are
to remain with me and everything is to
go on exactly as before he in his apart
ments and we in ours. You understand
now?'
AT least Marie heard.
at is rather an amusing situation, is it
not?" demanded Marjory.
Il do not know, replied Marie.
"Then in time you shall see. In the
meanwhile, you might smile Why do
you not smile?'
"I-I do not know" Marie replied
honestly.
Though Marie was by no means con-
vinced, she was ready to drop the mat
ter in her admiration of the picture her
mistress made when properly gowned.
Whether she wished or not, madame,
when she was done with her this evening,
looked as bride should look And mon
sieur, waiting below, was worthy of her.
In his evening clothes he looked at least
d
eyes warm as he slipped over madame's
beautiful white shoulders her evening
wrap.
Before madame left she turned and
whispered in Marie's ear.
"I may be late," she said; "but you
will be here when return.
"Yes, nam 'selle.
Without fail?"
es, nam selle."
Marie watched monsieur take his
bride arm as they went out the door, and
the thing she whispered to herself had
nothing to do with madame at all.
"Poor m sieur" she said.
TT was all new to Marjory. In the year
and a half she had lived in Paris with
her aunt she had dined mostly in her
room. Such cafes as this she had seen
only occasionally from a cab on her way
to the opera. AS she stood at the en-
trance to the big room, which sparkled
like diamond beneath light, she was as
dazed as debutante entering her first
ballroom The head waiter, after one
glance at Monte. was bent upon securing
the best available table. Here was an
American prince, if ever he had seen one.
Had m sieur any choice?
Decidedly. He desired a quiet table
in corner, not too near the music.
Such table was Immediately secured,
and as Covington crossed the room with
Marjory by his side he was conscious of
being mJre observed than ever he had
been when entering the Richie alone. His
bandaged arm lent him touch of dis
tinction, to be sure; but this served only
to turn eyes back again to Marjory, as if
seeking in her the cause for it. She moved
like princess, with her head well up and
her dark eyes brilliant.
"All eyes are upon YOU" he smiled,
when he had given his order.
"If they are it's very absurd she re-
turned.
Also, if they We're, it did not matter.
That was the fact she most appreciated.
Ever since she had been old enough to
observe that men had eyes, it had been
her duty to avoid those eyes. That had
been especially true in Paris, and still
more especially true in the few weeks she
had been there alone.
Now, with Monte opposite her, she was

turned There stood Marie, snuffling and
wiping her eyes.
"Good heavens, he demanded, whats
this?"
Marjory instantly moved to the girls
side.
"There-there, she soothed her gently;
dts only the excitement, NEST ce pas?"
"Yes, madame; and you know | wish
you all happiness
"And me also?" put in Monte.
at goes without saying that m sieur
will be happy,
He thrust some gold pieces into her
hand.
"Then drink to our good health with
your friends, he suggested.
Calling taxicab, he assisted her in;
but before the door closed Marjory leaned
toward her and whispered in her ear:
~You will come back to the hotel at
sixon
"Yes, madame
So Marie went off to her cousins, look
ing in some ways more like bride than
her mistress.
MARJORY preferred to walk. She
wanted to get back again to the mood
of half an hour ago. She must in some
way get Peter Noyes out of her mind. So
quite aimlessly they moved down the
Avenue Montaigne.
She laughed a little
"The minister was terribly serious
wasn't he, Monte?"
"Too darned serious, he nodded. But,
YOU see, he didn't know. | suppose the
cross-your-t throat, hope-to-die kind of
marriage is serious. That's the trouble
with it,"
"Yes; that's the trouble with it..
al can see Chic coming down the aisle
now, with his face chalk-white and"
"Don't!" she broke in.
He looked down at her-surprised that
she herself was taking this so seriously.
"My comrade, y he said, what you need
is to play little"
"Yes, she agreed eagerly
"Then where shall we go? The world
is before you
He was in exactly the mood to which
she herself had looked forward-a mood
of sprngtime and irresponsibility. That
was what he should be. 1t was her right
to feel like that also.
"Oh, she exclaimed, I'D like to 90 to all
the places couldn't go alone Take me-"
"To the Cafe de Paris for lunch?'
She nodded.
ITO the races afterward and to the
Richie for dinner?'
Yes, yes"

Her face was flushed as she nodded
again,

THE afternoon left Marjory no time to
think. She was caught up by the
gay, care-free crowd and swept around in
dizzy circle. Yet always Monte was by
her side.
Then she was whirled back to the hotel
and to Marie with no more time than
was necessary to dress for dinner Marie
thought madame's cheeks did not look
like good sign.
Il hope madame"
Have you so soon forgotten what l

War Prosperity in Vermont.

A report on industrial conditions in
Vermont credits war orders with the
present prosperity in that state. The
Windsor Machine Co. paid dividends
aggregating 125 per cent in July and
October. The Robin Hood Powder Co.
secured large orders. and the machine
companies in Springfield and Rutland
are working on shrapnel. Another ma
chine company that had an offer of a
100000 order for shrapnel last sum-
mer declined it because women are
opposed the manufacture of war NUM-
tons. But as business grew dull in
regular lines and there appeared a ne
cessity for reducing the force another
contract that was offered was quickly
accepted and the works are now run
ming overtime.
Numerous small shops throughout
the state are working on munition
contracts which have been parceled out

ing on contracts for some sort of sup
plies for the allies. The wooden mills
on the Winooski river and in the val
ley of the Ottaquechee are full up"
with orders and advertising for addi-
tional help. The canning factories are
going full tilt and sending their pro-
ducts abroad as fast as made. The
hydro-electric concerns are pushed to
the limit to supply the extra power
demanded. Secretary Redfeld please
take notice that Vermont is being en-
riched by the European war, not by
Democratic policies-And what would
all these concerns be doing If there
were no war orders?

Ideal Democratic Taxation.

Secretary McAdoo, recalling the old
adage that the road to a mans heart
runs through his stomach, has been
gathering Democratic congressman at
the dinner table for discussion Of
the administrations fiscal problems.
He soon discovered that none of the
McAdoo- Wilson schemes for filling
the Treasury meets with unqualified
Democratic approval. Free-traders
object to tariff on sugar, or on wool
or on anything, in fact. Farmers OBJ
ject to a tax on gasoline and motor
engines-and so do automobilists.
Men with money in the bank object to
a stamp tax on bank checks. And
stamp taxes as a whole are repugnant
to many Democrats.
What plan will finally be deter
mined upon for raising the financial
wind cannot be forecasted with &C.
curacy. If the Democrats could do
exactly as they wish, they would
frame a tax scheme to compel the
payment of taxes exclusively by Re-
publicans and in the Northern states.
They have so administered the in
come tax that this is the result with
that impost; and they are highly
gratified at their success in putting
that burden of government so much
upon the shoulders Of Northern Re-
publicans. They would like to make
this the universal rule regarding tax
alton, and if human-or shall we say
autobiography can devise a
scheme to this end it will be gravely
presented to Congress as a new fea
ture of the new freedom. New free
dom in this case being the freedom of
Southern Democrats from taxation.

SIMPLY GOT TO HAVE MORE
FARMS AND FARMERS.

With population constantly increas-
ing: with the proportionate amount
Of annual farm product as surely de-
creasing, in the Eastern states. how
long will it take financial wizards to
recognize the true situation and the
inevitable result?
Mr.. Embree has said much that
ought to percolate the scalps Of the
"notables." as he calls them. about to
gather at Springfield.
All about us we see poorly equipped
farm factories" poor highways,
poorly fed soil. short crops, a one-crop
system, a hand to- mouth existence
and every operator Of the soil the
legitimate prey Of the midlothian. the
lazy sharper, and every organized
class Of society and business. Why is
it so? Because the farmers are not
organized to fight for their rights.
The farmers have never understood
preparedness Interest rates and
banking restrictions are prohibitive.
to the average farmer. Yet wealthy
spectators are reaping enormous for
tunes off the farmers Of Maine this
year. We have information Of one
man in Aroostook county who is SELL
ing 100000 bbls of potatoes at SO per
Dbl, or more, for which he paid from
so to 81 per Dbl. He purchased fer
tilizer contracts and will clean up
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
There are others.
What will the Springfield gathering
do about it?
