"You don't believe my love will last?"
al don't know"
Because Of Frances?"
Everything is so different in New
York." she answered
Because of Frances?"
She was not sure enough herself to
answer that. She did not wish to be I'M
fair. He removed his hands from her
shoulders and stood back little.
IL thought you'd understand about
her. thought you were the one woman
in the world who'd understand"
She looked up quickly.
perhaps it's easier for men to under
stand those things than women" she said.
"There's so little to understand"
AS he spoke, truly it seemed so. But it
was always that way when she was with
him. Always, if she was not very careful,
he made her see exactly as he saw. 1T
was so at jacques; it was so at Coney.
But her whole life was at stake now. If
she made mistake one way or the other,
she must live it out-in New York. She
must be by herself when she reached her
decision.
"In the morning." she gasped.
GAIL right he answered.
He took her hand-catching her I'M
awares.
"See," he said. "Up there is the star
l gave you. 1t will always be there-al-
ways be yours. And, if you can, l want
you to think of me as like that star"
UPSTAIRS in her room that night, Miss
Winthrop sat by her window and
tried to place herself back in New York
back in the office of Carter, Rand & Sea-
graves. 1t was there, after all, and not
up among the stars, that she had gained
her experience of men,.
From behind her typewriter she had
watched them come and go, or if they
stayed had watched them in the making.
1t was from behind her typewriter she
had met Don. She remembered every
detail Of that first day: how he stood at
the ticker like boy with new toy,
waiting for Farnsworth; how he came
from Farnsworth's Office and took seat
near her, and for the next half hour
watched her fingers until she became
nervous. At first she thought he was
going to be fresh" Her mind was made
up to squelch him at the first opportunity.
Yet, when it had come lunch-time and
he sat on, not knowing what to do,
she had taken pity on him. She knew
he would sit on there until night unless
some one showed an interest in him.
And she was glad now that she had, be-
cause he had been hungry. Had it not
been for her, he would not have had any,
thing to eat all day-possibly not all that
week. She would never cease being glad
that she had discovered this fact in time.
But she had intended that her interest
should cease, once she had made sure
that he was fed and in receipt of his first
weeks salary. That much she would do
for any man, good, bad, or Indifferent.
That was all she had intended She could
say that honestly. When he had ap-
peared at her luncheon place the second
and third time, she had resented it. But
she had also welcomed his coming. And,
when she had hidden him not to come, she |
had missed him.
Right here she marked distinction be-
tween him and the Others. She missed
him outside the office-not only at noon,
but at night. When she had opened that
absurd box of flowers she brOupht him

Wants TO Help the Ladies'.

We understand that company OF
Suffragetts is being organized in
Monroe. for which we are all delight
ed. The males, should get busy and
cooperate heartily. First. it takes
money to run suffragetts and we
should start a subscription at once.
We have an idea that an arsenal will
have to be built. an auditorium built
or rented and emblems purchased
all this in addition to other necessary
equipment. Each member should be
presented with the emblems. to-wit;
a pair of trousers and hammer.
Now boys. shell out the cash and
let's make this new addition a boom
ing success.-W. NJ. Gordon.

Our Internal Affairs.

There are certain matters Of the
greatest concern about which the cit
liens Of Monroe should come togeth-
er. cooperate and accomplish certain
ends.
The Legislature will soon be in
session. We can never go forward
under our present system OF govern
ment. It.is too wasteful. The peo-
pie have no control over their own
business.
Our city charter is ancient. anti
quated and antedated. Our corpo-
rate business has been a mere play
thing. No other business in the
world could be run this way. Bank
ruptcy would be the result.
As IL is here the taxes go a little
higher and higher and water and
light rents are enormous and exhor-
bitant. The money is wasted after it
is collected. Our city government
has never had any definite head.
There is no reason why the city
should not run at profit.
We need business manager
brought from afar-one who is able,
competent in all departments. honest
and sincere. enthusiastic. and above
all. one who will not steal. graft.
polite, create useless jobs nor fail to
consult freely once a month with our
citizens in a public meeting.
Asheville and many other cities are
going forward by leaps and bounds

VIII Cherish Memory of Companion.

The death of Miss Bess Austin.
which occurred last Sunday at Dr..
PIyOr's hospital in Chester has cast a
gloom over the entire city.
Miss Austin's smartness at repair
tee as well as her other personal
charms. made her the most popuL.r
young lady of a social set here. for
=" TO know her was to love her."
Her almost daily companion and
friend said she was the most original
young woman she had ever known.
and to give her up seemed almost out
OF the question. for she was the
brightest light in her life.
The household that she adorned Is
now saddened for one of the bright
est candles has been blown.
Her character and principle were
so strong that 1t causes her christian
ity to be unquestionable. Just in the
full bloom of young womanhood she
has passed away-and a cherished
memory we will keep.-A Compan-
ion and Friend.

DEVICE NATIONALLY NOTED
Pump House to Be Duplicated IN
Many Cities of Country

Since the associate editor of the
Engineering News was here, an ar
ticle concerning Abilene's sewer
pump and traffic marker has been
published in that journal and Ken
Won Riddle has received numerous
requests from many places for more
information and pictures OF the
pump house. The engineer OF the
bureau of engineering of Philadel-
uhia made inquiry and said of the
arrangement: "Is quite ingenious
and we intend to install many OF
the same design and arrangement
in the outlying districts OF this
city"
A New York writer for technical
bulletins sent for five pictures, with
a sketch of the plans and system
involved which will be published in
technical magazines printed in
many of the principal cities of Eu-
rope. Others writing Mr.. Riddle
were the department of public serv-
ice of New Haven, Conn, and the
city engineers of Flint, Mich, st.
Augustine, Fla, and Newton, Kan.
The duofold purposes, a traffic
divider and pump enclosure, which
it fulfills, attract many This orna-
ment at the intersection of Vine and
Third streets, which was the cause
of much dispute and hardly attracts
a casual glance from the ordinary
passerby, does attract worldwide at
tention and gives Abilene much ma
tion-wide publicity.

DAYHOFF STORE AT HOPE

Burglars entered the A. ]. Day
off general merchandise store at
Hope Saturday night sometime after
II o'clock and made their getaway
with many suits, coats, hats, shoes,
collars, shirts and various other ar

stock was thoroughly ransacked and
empty hat and shoe boxes and mer-
chandise we're scattered over the
entire floor, the thief or thieves evi-

No evidence or trace of the stolen
goods or robbers has been secured.
