No Aid to Illiterates

At the recent primary election
the question was raised as to
whether or not an illiterate vot-
err could receive assistance from
the judges in preparing his bal
lot.
The law provides that persons
who are physically disabled may
be assisted by the judges, but
says nothing about illiterates.
A man unable to read asked
for a ballot and requested that
the judges help him mark the
same. The judges decided that
they could not legally help him,
consequently the man was un-
able to vote.
w. T. Snyder, who was one OF
the election judges, wrote to the
attorney general asking his op.
inion, and received the following
reply:
Topeka, Kansas, Aug. 7, 1916
Mr.. w. T. Snyder, Ford, Kans.
Dear Sir:-Your letter of re
cent date has come duly to hanC
and in reply thereto l would say
that under the law as it nov
stands an elector is not entitled
to assistance in marking a bal
lot because of his inability tx
read and write. ..
Yours truly,
| S. M. BREWSTER,

that she made his heart ache. 1t ached
for himself and then for her, the poor
little prisoner. He tapped on the win
dow.
Gloria turned and recognized her
visitor. Her eyes twinkled with af-
lection. She did like Doctor Royce!
David had presented him to her. Doc
tor Royce had graduated at David's
college; they we're members OF the
same fraternity.

Royce could not enter her room to
go to the blackboard, so he asked her
to bring the blackboard to him. She
fetched it joyously and gave him chalk
and said: There isn't any answer,
though"
He was too polite to say, "Why, this
is the easiest thing in the world but
he showed that it was for Him by the
speed and smiling ease Of his chalk

In q moment the riddle was solved.
Gloria understood 1t little less than
before, but it meant release from
captivity, and she was SO entranced
that she flung her arms about him and
gave him a resounding kiss and called
him "a wonderful, marvellous, angel
man."
To her 1t was a kiss of childish
gratitude for the help Of older wis
dom. She hurried the blackboard back |
to the easel and began to copy the |
doctors neat figures in her own |
scrawl.
But Royce stood quivering with the
attack. He knew that it
was a young girls kiss given in conf
1ence and ignorance, and it was
therefore sacred. But he could not
help feeling a thrill of prophetic hope,

Tor her especial torment. In earlier
years they had been very near to each
other, and now 1t was bitter to Clio
rias proud soul to watch David com
Ing and going at will, dancing every
night, and flirting desperately with
Lois Freeman, whom Gloria did not
like because her brother did.
Oh, yes, David could firt his head

her governess turned blue II Gloria
so much as mentioned a lover In q

have one herself at some time in that
future which she was waiting for as
the next installment ofsan exciting
serial. Gloria was woman enough to
resent restraint and child enotigh to
be capable Of making a tragic blunder
II she ever broke away
=
Gloria issued declaration of inde-
pendence as soon as she reached her
room. 1t began with I'm too old to
have a governess!"
"Thanks!" Miss Sidney snapped.
You're more than welcomed" Clio
ria snapped back. IT want one thing

This rainbow Of hope brought the
end of the storm. Gloria beamed and
ran to slip out Of her bathing suit and
into her luncheon frock. The govern
ess almost smiled as she wrote the

protection and unworthy reproaches

for Gloria's lessons. When Gloria
came back Miss Sidney pointed to the
figures.
cts very simple, my DEAR" she
said. "You have only to multiply at
b by alb"
"But-"
Work it out yourself, dear, and call
me when it is finished"
Gloria stared at the problem and felt
herself slipping back into childhood
more idea of what it all meant than a
newborn babe. She put on a pair OF
big tortoise shell spectacles, but they
made her look younger than ever and
gave her no help. She could see that
foolish alb, but she could not see why
anyone should want to know what
would happen If you did such a fool
ish thing as to multiply it by itself.
When the blackboard blurred before
her eyes she moved to the window and
stared at the glittering merriment Of
the crowd. Everybody was at play ex-
cept Gloria; people in bathing suits,
yachting flannels, golf toys, tennis
things, bicycle clothes, motor gear.
They streamed along the walks, the
sand, the piazzas, sat in wicker chairs,
or rolled along in automobiles.
BY and by Gloria saw Lois Freeman
come in from the links. When Dick
Freneau sauntered up Lois deserted
her father at once. Gloria did not like
the way she ogled Mr.. Freneau. Lois |
used the same languishing express I
sions Gloria had seen her working of |
on David.
Gloria wanted to run out and warn
poor Mr.. Freneau that Lois was de-
ceitful mink. Mr.. Ferneau had such
ovely, trusting eyes; it was "a crime
% lure him on. Gloria meditated.

Soon she must grow up to wOmanhoo'
and-she must love someone, and VIII,
not him? She was very rich, but hi
own future was gorgeous in hi
dreams, and Gloria was the mos
gorgeous thing in his gorgeou,
| dreams.
Then he reproached himself for the
mood and grew sad at the thought Of
the years that must roll over Gloria's
sunlit head before he could even pay
court to her. And in those years what
dangers might she not encounter
dangers to her health, her soul, her
happiness? He longed to protect her
through them all.
He saw that Gloria had already for
gotten him. She had copied his work
and she was rubbing out his calcula-
tons. He wondered If that were
prophetic, too. o.
When Gloria had the blackboard all
shipshape she howled to the govern
ess to come and see her triumph.
Gloria regretted the deception; but
what other refuge has the weak from
the strong?
Miss Sidney raised her eyebrows
and doubtless suspected that Gloria
had enjoyed outside aid; but she had
an engagement of her own with the
tutor Of a rich young imbecile, and
she pretended to be convinced.
Gloria was permitted to call it an
algebra lesson, and for a reward she
was assigned to the study OF list OF
the English kings. Gloria did not mind
that, for she hid stolen novel inside
the page and read something far more
important to her than ancient history
modern romance
II Gloria had not learned lesson Of
any Importance that day, neither had
her elders.

the sick old lion, Judge Freeman
that the most expensive hotel ant

habited by Indians that the United
States army could never dislodge?"
Eyes. 1t Is odd," said his young doc

United States navy couldn't dislodgt

from their snobbery"
Pm afraid my daughter finds it 80,
the Judge agreed. Here we've been
for two whole weeks and Lois doesn't
know anybody who is anybody-ex
cept Pierpont Stafford's boy and I'm
afraid he's only flirting with her"
Doctor Royce had not been engaged
to prescribe for Miss Lois Freeman s
ambitions, SO he changed the subject.
ITS hard to believe that there is a
blizzard in New York today when you
look at these flowers and see those
hah-dressed mobs wallowing in the
surf"
The judge gave jump and gasped:
"Good Lord, hear that scream Some
woman is being murdered"
Royce checked MIN with a gesture
and smile.
"Sit still, Judge; it's only Gloria
Stafford having another battle with
her goverRess."
The judge settled back into his
blanket, grumbling: "The little devil
always In hot water"
Doctor Royce came to her defense
with a curious warmth. They're driv-
ing her with too tight rein. She's
too big hearted and brave and wise to
be treated as a child much longer"
The old man sighed: I'VE fathers
with motherless girls to raise are
pretty helpless cattle. l can send

pleases, and it rarely pleases me. And

wish could go In. Do you think l
might"
The doctor shook his head: you
run out on the links and play little
golf among the palm trees. Tomor-
row may let you have Dip"
Il don't feel quite up to golf"
go on; don't disobey. You're worse |
than--than-" Another scream from
tho corridor gave him the missing |
word. You're worse than Gloria"
He lifted the judge from his chair,
thrust bag of golf clubs into his
