WHY WOMAN SHOULD VOTE,

Because she is the mother OF
man, and without her man would
cease to exist.
Because she is the intellectual
equal and the moral superior Of
man. =
Because woman transmits her
intelligence to her offspring, if
she has the power to do this she is
Of equal intelligence with her off
spring. for none Of us may give
that which we do not possess.
Because if she is the mental
equal of that male offspring she
has an equal right to voice in
the shaping Of the laws which
shall govern her, as well as him.
Because she is qualified by .ev-
cry law of nature to exercise the
right Of franchise.
Because the instinct of woman
leads always to the upbuilding Of
the human race.
Because she abhOrs the trickery
and deceit and grating ramp
ant in modern political parties.
Because that abhorrence, would
lead her to the cleaning Of those
parties and the publication of the
ballot.
Because she would labor to
place men in public Office who
would govern TO, the people and
not for self. ''
Because she is a believer in the
purity Of all homes, and because
of this belief she is safe person
to say who shall govern com
munity made up of many homes.
Because man owes his perspec-
tive to the cares and training of |
woman in his infancy, though
many forsake her gentle ways in
the later wears Of life.
Because man owes to woman q
debt which it is not within his
power to repay.
Because her entrance into the
political arena would mean a bet
ter state. a greater country, a cles-
er communion with the laws Of +,
God and -1nans - IL,
Because She Il the essence : '6l4
purity, the light Of the home, and .
he star which beckons man on to
Ereater and nobler deeds.
Because she is woman. the
mother Of man.-Houma Times.

 'sYes. There was something about bfackmaiI or a secret arrangement be- tween MT. His and the Yukon river lines. I couldn' t understand just what it was, but anyhow Murray took ad- vantage of it and saved the North Pass and the s. R. and N. at the same time
 tIt was really perfectly won derful stroke of genius determined atonce that you should stop these lies and correct the general idea that he is in the pay of the trust Why, he went to Cortez last week, and they threaten ed his 1ifer' Mrs. Gordon. who Lad listened, said quietly: Don't blame Curtis for that That bloody affray at Beaver canyon has made Cortez bitter against every one connected with the Heidlemanns ''
 What about this blackInail?' ?' said her husband, upon whose ear the word ! had made a welcome impression q don't understand what you mean by O'NeiFs saving the North Pass and his own road at the same time-nor His, beinsay in hiding"
 Neither do l. Natalie confessed, 'sbut know. you have made mistake that ought to be set right" .'eWhy doesn't he come, out with the I truth?"
 "The whole thing is secret"
 "why?"
 Natalie shrugged hopeIessly, and Gordon lost himself in drowning thought
 This is amazing" he said brusquely after a moment. .sIt's vital It affects all my plans. must know everything at onee.''
 I'm sorry paid so little attention"
 Never mind. Try it again and be diplomatic. If O'Nefl won't tell you, question Appleton. You can wind him around your fingers easily enough, I am sure.''
 The girl eyed him with a quick change of expression.
 '.Isn't it enough to know that the trust has nothing to do with the S. R. and N?''
 ssNow he declared impatientIy. q must know the whole inside of this secret understanding blackmail or whatever it is
 Then I'm sorry.''

CHAPTER XVII.
o,NeiI NerIfies suspicions.

LYNCH M9rIH6S 0GSPtCt0Has 'HWA HE locomotive had been switch
 ed out by this time, and O'Neil
 hurried to board it. On his way
 to Omar he had time thorough Iy to weigh the results of this unex- pected complication His present de- sire was merely to verify his suspicion that Appleton had told his secret to Natalie Beyond that he did not care to think, for there was but one course open.
 His anger reached the blazing point after his arrival As he stepped down from the engine cab Gray silently handed him a code message from Lon don which had arrived 9. few moments before. When it's contents had been deciphered O'Neil cursed, and he was furious as he stumbled through the dark toward the green bungalow on the hill.
 Swinging around the corner of the house, he came into bright radiance which streamed forth from Eliza's window, and he could not help seeing the interior of the room. She was there. writing busily, and he saw that she was clad in the elaborate kimono which he had given her. Yet it. was not her personal appearance which ar rested his angry eyes and caused his step to halt; it was, instead, her sur roundings.
 He had grown to accept her pr1m- simplicity as a HRntter of course and never associated her in his thoughts with anything feminine, but the room as it lay before him now was revela- 1 tion of daintiness and artful decora- 1 ton. Tasteful water colors hung on the walls, warm rug was on the floor and everywhere were rosy touches of color The plain white bed had been l transformed into a couch of oriental luxury. A lace spread of webl1ke texture covered it; then pillows were hidden beneath billowing masses Of ruff1es and ribbons. He saw a typical ] woman's crazy corner piled high with cushions. There was jar of burning l incense sticks near it-everything, in l fact, was utterly at variance with his notions of the owner. Even the girl herself seemed transfgured, for her l hair was brought forward around her 1 face in some loose, mysterious fashion, which gave her a bewilderingly girlish appearance.
 l O'Nei1's eyes photographed all this in l a single surprised glance as he passed. l The next moment he was mounting l the steps to the porch.

you"
 "Wen, well! Must explain the why's and wherefores of every move I make?"
 Ut would be spying if I went back. The matter is confidential. I know that"
 twill you do as I ask?" he de- manded.
 Natalie answered him firmly: t'No! told you what I did tell only so that you might correct
 t'You rebel, eh?" Gordon spoke out furiously.
 He strode angrily from the room. leaving Natalie staring out upon the bleak fall scene, her shoulders very straight, her breast heaving. Gloria did not, venture to address her.
 Fortunately for the peace of all con- cerned, Gordon left for Seattle on the next steamer. Neither of the women believed that Natalies fragmentary revelation was the cause of his depart ure; but, once in touch with outside affairs, he lost no time in running down the cIews he had gathered, and it was not long before he had learned enough to piece the truth together. Then he once more brought his mimeo- graph into use.
 The first winter snows found O'Neirs track laid to the bridge site and the structure itself well begun. He had moved his office out to the front and now saw little of Eliza, who was busted in writing her book. She had finished her magazine articles, and they had been accepted, but she had given him no hint as to their character.
 One afternoon Happy Tom burst in upon his chief, having hastened out from Omar on, g construction train.. Drawing a Seattle paper from his pocket, lie began excited1y:
 Well, the fats in the fire, Murray. Somebody has. belehed up. the whole North Pass story.''
 O'Neil seized the newspaper and scanned it hurriedly. He looked up. scoWling.
 Who gave this out?o he inquired in a harsh voice.
 Slater shrugged. Its in the Cortez Courier, too. so s'pose it came from Gordon. Blessings come from one source, and Gordon's the fountain of all evil I'm getting so blame him for everything unpleasant"
 Where did he learn the inside of Illis' deal? By heaven, there's leak [
 Maybe he uncovered it back there in the States 2
 Murray shook his head Nobody knows anything about it except you boys
 Then he seized the telephone at his elbow and called Dr. Gray, while Tom listened withf his shining forehead puckered anxiously. O'Neil hung up with 8 black face.
 tAppieton!' he said.
 Tom looked, # possible, a shade gloomier than usual. ''I wouldn't be too sure it was Dan if was you,' he ventured doubtfully.
 j. Where is he?. O'NeiI ground out the words between his teeth.
 TSurveying the town site addition. If he. let anything slip it was by mis- take''-
 Mistake! I won't employ people who make mistakes of that kind. This story may Dring the Canadian govern nent down on INis and forfeit his North Pass charter, to say nothing of our authorities. That would finish us" He rose, went to the door and ordered the recently arrived engine uncoupled. Ringing himself into his fur coat he growled:
 "I'd much rather have a crook un- der me- than a fool Appleton told us he talked too much.'

 .sstop them? My4dear. what do you mean ?'' He didn't sell out to the trust. He has nothing to do with it.''
 "What?" Gordon's incredulity was challenge.
 sHe sold to. an Englishman named His. They seem to be amused by yourt mistake over there at Omar. but think some of the things printed are positively criminal knew you'd want the truth =
 The truth, yes. But this can't be true,'' stammered Gordon.
 Ut is. MT. O'Neil did try to interest the Heidlemanns, but they wouldn't have anything to do with him, and the s. R. and N. was going to smash when MT. His came along barely sn t.@e. It was too exciting and dramatic for anything the way MT. O'Neil found him when he was in hiding'-
