More than that she was to lunch with

fell as she noted how many there
were. Suppose she should not finish
them in time to keep her o'clock en-

But she attacked them vigorously
and kept steadily at them. There was
silence in the room but for the click
of the machine and an occasional
movement from the desk where De-
la!ne sat At half past twelve the girl
paused in her task and counted the
sheets which were yet to be copied.
Then she looked at her employer.
Would you mind If stopped for

Bonnie Dog thought he was badly
treated because his mother wanted
him to help her with the work one
morning.
Il don't want to shake the rugs,
only girls help with homework,
whined Bonnie Dog.
Bonnie Dogs mother threw out the
rugs and told him to clean them or he
should have no bones for dinner.
Bonnie Dog pouted and looked very
cross indeed at the rugs; then he pick

shake.
Hello, Bonnie Dog, why are you

HELEN
and
WARREN

The sound Of key In the front
door sent her scurrying into the
kitchen. She could hear their voices
IN the hall. Now they had gone into
Warren's room.
She pictured him going to the chit
fonier to brush his hair--and finding
the note. Her hands trembled as
she poured the soup into the tureen.
She must give them time to get into
the library before she announced din
ner.
But suddenly the pantry door was
flung open and Warren strobe in, his
face livid, the note crushed in his
hand
What fool stunt he began in
spluttering, loud-voiced rage.
"Sh-sh, he'll hear you Now don't
upcet me! begged you not to come
out here. You MUST let me do this!
It's too late. to do anything else. Go
back-quick-I'm coming right in to
announce dinner"
In helpless glowering wrath War.
rem started at her. Then with an
oath he swung out.
A moment later, Helen appeared at
the library door with barely audible
Dinner Is served, sir"
She waited in the pantry until they
were seated. With her heart in ner
throat and with rigidly lowered eyes,
for she dared not look at Warren
she took In the soup.
I'm sorry Mrs. Curtis is indis.
posed" remarked Mr.. Hotaling po-
litely as he drained his cocktail.
"Oh. it's nothing, she's-she's sub.
rem awkwardly.
Helen removed the soup plates and
brought in the roast. Standing hack
of Warren's chair while he carved she
gave one swift glance across the table.
Mr.. Hotaling was looking straight at
her, and for second his leveled eyes
held hers.
It. had been only casual glance,
she treasured herself, as with flaming
cheeks she escaped to the kitchen for
the vegetables.
The cauliflower she served first
because it was in side dishes, which
she had only to place by their plates.
But the large dish of riced potatoes
shook in her unsteady hand as she
held it at Mr.. Hotaling's elbow. He
helped himself without glancing up,
seemingly intent on Warren's glow
ing account of salmon fishing in New
Brunswick.
While the maid was never allowed
to leave the vegetables on the table,
tonight, to simplify the serving Helen
left everything.
The dinner well under way, she
took her first relieving breath. Stand
ing just inside the pantry door, which
she kept inside the pantry door, which
she kept ajar, she saw that nothing
was needed. Once or twice Warren
shot her furious glance. If only she
could see this through, she could
stand his rage afterward.
Knowing he would not ring, intently
she watched for the time to remove
the plates. They both ate heartily
and with evident relish. At length,
she brought out the roast and cleared
the table.
With the salad she served the
cheese and toasted crackers Then
closing the pantry door, she rushed
to the open kitchen window to cool her
hot flushed face. She was through
all but the coffee in the library.

Demosthenes was a popular Chau-
tauqua lecturer who made the Greciaa
circuit every summer for a number of
years. He spoke pure form of
Greek which sounded like the dying
cadence of a coffee mill; but wherev-
er he went he attracted large audien-
ces and got to be well fixed. Ii De
mosthenes were here now and tried to
sell his vocabulary for Chautauqua
purposes, he would prove a complete
failure, as nobody who had not worked
on the section or in a shoe-shining par
lor could understand him.
Early in life Demosthenes decided
that he would become the champion
marathon orator of Greece and leave
footprints on the sands Of time with
both lungs. Nature did not design
Demosthenes for an orator, as she
provided him with a 3,4Q0 r. p. m
stutter which gave to his remarks 4

Demosthenes could be seen walking up

Attorney Generals Office.
{ Rutland Herald.)


The Boston Herald of Sunday re-
views the records of past attorney
generals, and the present incumbent,
and announces that an effort will be
made to abolish the office in view of
the experience of the state. That is
right 1t is an office created to provide
a political office for the faithful. 1t
should 60, and with it the numerous
municipal judges, created also to pro-
vide jobs for county leaders Of the ma
chine. 1t is said that we now have
over 80 different commissions to pro
vide for those who are useful in main
tanning control of state affairs. Most
of these should go. Let us begin at the
bottom and place the government OF
this state on a real business basis

of attorney general at the 1915 session
Of the Legislature was the personality

there would be a change in the con
duct of the office.
This change has occurred. Economy
has been carried to an extreme degree.
so extreme that even Mr.. Barber 5
friends have questioned whether he has
the office is concerned, the Herald has
no doubt that the incumbent will be
able TO make very respectable show
ing, strong enough perhaps, to give
the office a new lease of life.
This, however, does not affect the
underlying, fundamental fact that
under the present organization of the
} state by towns and counties, the Office

fluous. provided the people elect com

I did not in 1912. We want to win
This is very emphatic for Senator
Page. who has cultivated the non-com-

close second to the late Senator ALI

in train with a friend who pointed
out a flock of black sheep feeding in
the field near the railroad. "See those
black Sheep said the friend, tEThey
appear to be black on this side,' re-

Senator Page danced on the fence in

Monthly of Woodstock and reprinted
in The Reformer. You will find
it illuminating and instructive. 1t is
surprising to most of rs to know that
the state now owns 10000 acres of
state forests, distributed through -
towns and seven counties, on which
forestry rules are enforced, demonstra
tons made and lumber grown for rev
enue purposes. The only reservation
in Windham county is in Townshend,
but other tracts in this section may be
taken later, as the state forester is
authorized to buy, survey and refor-
est state lands annually to the amount
of $500. The state s control of for
ests is of value from the point Of tim
Der conservation and cultivation, for
the conservation of our water supplies
from which eventually in this state
we are to draw practically all of our
white coal for power and lighting pur-
poses, and in the betterment of scenic
attractions. Some pointed para
graphs on the taxation of standing
timber form an important part of the
article. He puts the blame for denud
ed hillsides squarely on the people:
1.-The over-taxing of forests compel;
the lumberman to use his timber. We
consider timber as real estate and yea
after year we tax it like a mine in
, stead of treating it as a crop. Their,
are wood lots in every town of tn,
state upon which the annual growtl
fails to pay the taxes"
