Good night"
: Constance did not answer him. She
, walked from the library, her shoulders
squared, her head erect. her steps
measured and deliberate. But when
she had turned into the hall, beyond
the sight Of H. Hedge. she ran.
A DEFEAT OR TWO,
H. Hedge had been sitting at the
library table for an hour and half oe'
fore any member of the family ap'
peared. He was busy examining, as
sorting, and piling an array of books
and documents. Seven o'clock had
found him there, when day light was
still so wan and feeble that he needle
the assistance OF an electric bulb. He
was beginning to get hungry.
Alice was the first to observe him.
She walked briskly into the room,
humming, stopped short and saw the
efficiency man. 1t was such an aggres.
sively cheerful morning, with sunlight
now steaming through the broad win
dows, that Alice. in buoyant response
to the mood Of the day, had utterly
forgotten the presence OF this creature

She wheeled sharply and disappeared
into the hall It would have been quite
proper If great cloud had covered

slant; although as it CHANGED, none
did.
Constance appeared five minutes
later, but with no evidence of the sur
prise displayed by her sister.
Good morning." said Hedge, rising,
He nodded and smiled in perfect
frtendliness. There was not the least
suggestion in his manner or voice that
betrayed memory of having been des-
cribed as a boor.
Good morning." replied Constance.
She hesitated for an instant. then
approached the desk and stood facing
him. across the broad mahogany ex-
panse

Very good We will go in
Before We do, wish to say one
thing, Mr.. Hedge She spoke with
composure.
He nodded

She ended the sentence with Il
shrug that was non-committal.

chalantly.
Constance led the way into the dir.

laughter over something her brother
had said.

A FITTING RECOGNITION.

Some weeks ago, when the former
District Visiting Nurse, who had
served this community faithfully for
four years, severed her connection
here. because of orders to other fields.
a subscriber to The Capital wrote
suggesting we OF the city and county,
who appreciated her services and true
worth. manifest our appreciation by
giving her a purse OF gold.

in communication to this paper, en-
dorsed the suggestion of the first, and
also wrote he would be responsible
for donation OF ten dollars to the
purse for the former Visiting Nurse
Here the matter ends. No one has
offered to contribute since that time
and perhaps the suggestion made by
Subscriber No. l has been forgotten.
IL may be that so many other things
have occurred that this one has slip
ped the memory of most people who
would like to be included in the list
OF those who desire to give some fit

in this community among the sick and
helpless for the past four years.

FLAG WITH 4 HOLE In II.

Why should the State of Maryland
Gy from its State House dome daily
flag with a hole in it?
This is a question some Of Us would
like answered. For sometime the flag
on the State House dome has been one
with large hole in it. Certainly this
is neither patriotic nor ornamental,
and ii we must fly a damaged flag, let
US set to work and darn the flag. To
fly a nag with hole in it is not an
advertisement for the State and GER
tainly is not for the capitol
We realize the fact that flags are
costly and that this patriotism that
inspires the daily flying of our flag is
an expensive proposition. All OF US
have experienced this, for ii only
takes a few weeks 10 fade. discolor,
tear or damage any flag, and flags are
now in the II c. L. class with every
thing else. But. we do wish our own
splendid keeper OF public. buildings
would see TO it that the flag on the
State House dome is mended, or that
the State furnishes a new flag. and
at once hauls down the one with a
large hole in It. Just for the looks of
the thing. as well as for patriotism.
Don't be shocked ht the pictures Of
the show stop. Look and Listen"
These are stage folks. The girls and
women to be shocked at are your very
own who walk the streets day by day
in skirts II inches from the ground,
and shorter. who push their baby car
riages or have children by the hand
You can't expect on the stage what
you should demand of your own wives
and daughters on the streets who go
about clothed in almost nothing. not
even in their right mind
