The Easiest Way.

She had two boys. The mother
wished not only to give them a serious
idea Of her desire to make them good
but also to make clear to their minds
the gravity of the task before her. At
the end Of a particularly touching ad-
juration five-year-old Francis was sud
denly overcome with the impossibility
Of ever attaining his mothers ideal.
Don't try to make us good, mother"
he said earnestly. "Just shoot US"

rs that so?7 Isabel was painfully
dlslnterested But she was saying to
herself: "Then Tom does know I'm
home. wonder why he hasn't called
up at least"
Ten o'clock, and no Tom. Isabel,
puzzled and weary-cyed, went upstairs
not to sleep. but to toss wretchedly
most of the night.
She was up at daybreak and down
stairs waiting when the paper boy
came. She turned to the society page
There was five-llne announcement
of her return. Tom may not have seen
the other, but he would surely know
now But what was that right under
It? mr. Thomas Custer, Of the firm
of Merrick & Merrick, left last night
on business trip to Des Moines. He
expects to be gone week."
The postman brought mail and there
was letter from Tom. She tore 1t
open with feverish haste. Dear Isa-
bel" he wrote, II was sorry to have
to leave just when you were coming
home, but / couldn't very well help It.
My chance for success rests with the
Merricks, and must please them first.
Money comes first in the world, you
know; sentiment, after all, is a sec
ondary thing, and | know you will
understand. 1 know you had pleas
ant visit, and I hope to hear all about
1t before long. Affectlonately, Tom."
Isabel crushed the letter into a
ball and threw it onto the table. "Well,
/ like that" she cried furiously. and
rushed to her own room crying.
At the end Of two days Aunt Katie
remarked seriously; "Say. Isabel, why
don't you send Tom his ring while
he's away7 1t wouldn't be likely to
hurt him so much, for he's having a
good time and his mind win be on
other things. His aunt told me at the
club that he's staying with some very
rich friends OF the Merricks. and they
are up to their ears In society,"
live decided to keep the ring"
sat Isabel family. And the next
morning it was back in its place on
her left hand.
And after about a hundred years the
week passed and Tom came home to
find a very humble, very loving and
very thoughtful Isabel. II was afraid
you'd forget me while you were away,
Tom. dear" 1t was almost ques-
ton.
"See If I didw Out Of his pocket
came fat box, and out Of the box a
string Of pearls. i've been taken into
the firm. dear. and this is to cele-
brate."
And while Isabel was ecstatically
admirlng them In the glass Tom found
time to whisper to happy Miss Katie
"Y0ure an old dear! 1t worked like
q charm."

MISS KATIE'S SCHEME

"Well, did you have nice timer
Isabel unfastened her fur and I'M
buttoned glove before she answered:
"Finel / never lived before !"
The smile faded slowly from her
aunt's face and she scanned the girls
features anxiously. "Just what do
you mean by that, dear. What would
Tom say II he heard it2"
II mean every word say. If you
could only see how the Pattersons live

Tom Custer had looked at the office
clock so many times that afternoon
that Mr.. Merrick, the junior partner,
said finally, "Girl away, Tom?'
"Yes, sir"
"Coming home today2"
"Yes, sir"

the morning"
Tom waited until the door closed,
then drew over the telephone. But
just as he gave the number the door
opened again. He looked around inn
patiently. Miss Cartwright he ex-
claimed.
Aunt Katie nodded a greeting
"Wait d minute, Tom. Don't call lsa-
bel just yet. want to tell you some
Thing FIRST. You'll hate me forever
but it's got to be done, and | guess /

At dinner her niece was quiet. she
was wondering just what she would
sav to Tom aud how he would take It.

FREEDOM.-In one of Mr.. COch-
rams articles of recent date he makes
the statement that Socialists are not
Gree" that they are bound to the
party, or words to that effect.
It is true. In the Industrial field
I am bound to my labor union. Being
a member. of it I am bound to act
with that body, but the bonds that
hold me to my union are bonds of
brotherhood, of love for a cause
which I would not sever. To my fam
lily am also bound. l am not free
to desert them, to starve them or
work against their interest, not be-
cause of civil law, but because of the
bonds of love I have for them.
To my party, my union and my
family l am bound by some of the
noblest bonds of the human mind
and heart.
My reason shows me that freedom
cannot be. won by individual action.
Collective action. is the word. The
motto Of my union (the street car
men's) is Freedom through organ
ization." Carry that motto to the
political field and vote solid, as we
strike, and victory is ours. will
point to English workingmen as an
example of collective action on the
industrial and political field.
The British Labor party entered
the house of commons as an indie
pendent party in 1906. In the recent
great dock strike the children of the
strikers were fed by the government
while London policemen poured out
hot coffee to the men on strike.
