off the coast of China. 1t meant q
great opening for him, and Esther told
him he must go. He urged an imme-
diate marriage as he must sail in three
weeks if he accepted. But her mother
strongly opposed the hurried wedding.
Judge Marvin had been dead only few
weeks, and she felt that her daughter
was now being torn from her. Esther
assured her mother she would remain
with her, but as she still kept the same
attitude, March was for giving up the
expedition, when Esther prevailed up
on him to go.

Howard March did not return in
three months, but she heard regularly
from him. Sometimes the letters were
short, but when they halted, and he
had more leisure, they were long, filled
with accounts of his travels, and al
ways breathing devotion which
seemed to increase rather than lessen
by absence. After about eight months
the letters ceased. The last one had
told of starting on a trip into q wild,
unexplored country, and as the weeks
went by without any tidings Esther
concluded March was still beyond any
means of communication. But when
the weeks heightened into months, and
the months into years with never a
word from him she knew not what to
think. Those who had known him had
settled it that either he had been Killed
by savages, or had chosen to remain
away. Esther would not accept either
of these conclusions. She was firm In
her belief that he would return,
Esther's persistent belief in the re-
turn of Howard March began to be

"THEY SAY" DANGER SIGNAL
Phrase Employed by Scandal Monger
Has Destroyed the Happiness of
Many Innocent Persons.

"They say" "I heard" "It is report
ed," are phrases often heard. They are
most frequently followed by tales that
have no known or valid foundation,
says the Milwaukee Journal. "They
say" has ruined the reputation and de-
stroyed the happiness Of many an inno-
cent person. 1t Is seldom the preface
to good report. The fallible human
kind appears to give credence much
more readily to evil reports than to
good. The more preposterous the
story is, the more readily some ap-
give such easy, belief to evil reports
are usually ready to help spread them
abroad.
The calm voice of reason, of care
full judgment, is not listened to
where gossip holds sway. If no one lis
tened when evil things were told, gos-
sip would soon die. 1t is wise to re-
frain from repeating evil things said
Of another unless one knows they are
true, and even then it is best to keep
silent unless some real good can surely
be accomplished by the telling. Be not
too quick to believe an evil report.
"They say" can carry much sorrow
and injustice in its train. Let us say
good things of all when they may be
said, and never keep the evil thing
alive and going. "They say" should
be danger signal, warning not to
believe too easily or repeat too
eagerly.

Joys OF THE ATTIC DWELLER
He Who Looks Out Upon World Only

"The chirping Of the sparrows calls
me; they claim the crumbs I scatter to

out before me in all its splendor." So
says Emile Souvestre, "Attic Philoso-
pher in Paris" "He who has only
lived on a first floor has no idea Of
the picturesque variety of such view.
He has never contemplated these tile

Mrs. Flint gave her opinion with an
air OF finality that was entirely con-
vincing to Mrs. Baker on the other side
OF the fence. In fact, Esther Marvin
lad for some time furnished topic of
conversation to the inhabitants of the
small New England town.
Time was when it was considered
quite the fashionable thing to send
ones daughter to Miss Marvin'S School
for Young Ladies; but that was some
nine years ago when Miss Marvins
social position as the daughter of the
lately deceased judge not only gave
her influence in her own circle, but
served as a sort of lure to those a trifle
lower in the social scale. When the
judge died. leaving his wife and daugh-
ter nothing after his debts were paid,
but the fine old house on the hill, Es-
ther decided that the best thing she
could do was to convert the big billiard
room into a school room, and try to
make living for her mother and her.
self by utilizing her college education
as teacher. The change in their for
tunes told heavily on the frail little
mother, who two years later drifted on
to less material world leaving her
daughter to face the problem alone.
The school prospered, but aside from
her loneliness, Esther had another
problem to face. She was a staunch,
COURAGEOUS soul, and she did not waver.
Before her fathers death Esther had
become engaged to Howard March.
The alliance had been approved of by
the judge for March was his old
friends nephew, and he believed he
saw in the young man energy and
strength of character sufficient for him
to make an honorable career. Esther
loved him as only such a deep, true
nature can. They were to be married
In about four months, when March told
her Of an expedition he had been asked
to join to take up land for ea-growing

LEVY TAX.

The necessity of producing food
stuffs as war measure, ought to
bring home to Congress the crying
need Of our levy system, and the
Justice of the claim that Uncle Sam
should protect his domains against
floods. The greatest valley Of the
Mississippi, watered by a greater
area of mountain and hill streams
and creeks, make the control matter
essentially national question. The
Mississippi River, from Cairo to
New Orleans is the outlet for nearly
half the rainfall, melting snow and
Ice OF the United States. When this
water reaches Arkansas, Mississippi
and Louisiana, these sections are at
the mercy of the water from all
other sections from which the water
comes. s tss gt@ w
In providing war measures. moth
ing more serious now confronts
Congress. If large portion of the
food producing area of the valley is
subject to destructive flood at any
time, the Government is dependent
vsry largely upon precariaus con-
ditlon for food stuffs in peace times,
much less for the enormous demands
in the time Of war.
The. levee tax Of Louisiana is en-
tirely out of proportion to the bene
fits derived. The state and the mar
lshes are doing all in their power.
but the Federal Government is the
only sure source Of adequate help.
Appropriating fifty million dollars
Tor railroad in Alaska, is a matter
less deserving of the attention of
Congress than the protection Of ter
ritory already developed and thickly
inhabited.

port of an invalid mother and
young crippled brother, tries to keep
the wolf from the door by teaching
languages, but her pupils are few
and the remuneration small. She Is
in despair when told by the doctor
that an immediate operation is nee
essary to save her mothers life. She
tries to borrow the money for It,
but is unable to do so.
Leland Norton, a parton or the
arts. but moral leper, sees Helolse
and admires her. Norton has secre1
room, lavishly decorated, which ne
calls his Garden Of Eden" he
wants Heloise for the newest Eve
to grace it. Discovering that she is
in the depths of despair at being un-
able to take proper care OF ner
mother, he showers her with wealth.
and thus ensnares her.
Mrs. Broulette RECEIVERS and can
not say enough in praise OF ner
daughter for the Injuries WIN
which she surrounds her. Mrs.
Morris, the woman who is taking
care of her, has a flashy, slangy
daughter, Lii, who tries of hearing
Heloise's praises sounded. She tries
to blackmail Heloise and failing tells
Mrs. Broulette of 1.-The Garden OF
Eden"
She takes Heloise's mother to
Norton's home while . party is IN
progress with the valet, she succeeds
in opening the secret door, and the
two women enter the "Garden OF
Eden" just as a toast is being pro-
posed to Heloise, "the fairest Eve
that ever graced an Eden" Mrs.
Broulette falls heavily to the floor
and does not survive the shock. Lii.
realizing what she has done, sobs
historically when Heloise takes her
to look at the dead woman.
Heloise follows her brother,
Louis, to a suburb, where he is
slowly gaining strength after his
hard work on an invention. She be-
comes secretary to Carter Vail, an
author, who lives with his mother
and sister. They prevail upon
Heloise to bring Louis to them, so
that she may be with him more.
Alice, Wallis sister, goes to New
York for visit. Carter falls deep
" in love with Heloise. He proposes,
but she tells him they can never be
married. While in the city Alice be-
comes engaged and brings her f.
ance home to meet her family.
Heloise is amazed to find that is is
Leland Norton. When they are alone
she tells him he must leave at once
and promise not to marry Alice or
she will expose him. He refuses and
she goes to Carter and tells him the
whole story, not sparing herself.
Louis is dying. In a spirit Of re-
venge Norton tries to force his way
into the boys bedroom to tell him
Of his sisters dishonor, but Carter
keeps him out at the point of re-
volver and the boy dies in ignorance
of the facts. Carter holds out his
arms to Heloise, who says "You
forget what l am" His answer is,
