ELECTION OF COUNTY SUP
ERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS

Paid advertisement authorized by
E. G. Brick who is to pay for same.
The voters are to decide at the
polls on Tuesday who is to be the next
county superintendent Of schools
Since the education of a child is of SO
great Importance no parent can right
ly neglect to cast the ballot. Our
schools are the backbone Of our count
ry, and must be kept at high stand
ard.
I am a candidate for reelection and
stand back of my record You are in
vited to investigate the same. All of
my time has always been given to the
betterment Of our schools, and feel
that they are now at a higher stand
ard than ever before. Since no one
considers it good policy to change
teachers frequently no more is it
wise to change a superintendent Of
schools. l solicit your support for a
SECOND term.

evening. And on her vacation last
summer"
The voices dropped 10 whisper.
Sidney, standing cold and white by the
sterilizer, put out a hand TO steady
herself. So that was 1t! No wonder
Carlotta had hated her. She was
steady enough in a moment, cool and
calm, moving about her work with Ice
cold hands and slightly-narrowed eyes
To sort of physical nausea was sue
ceedlng anger, n blind fury of injured
pride. He had been in love with Car
lotta and had tired Of her. He was
bringing her his warmed-over emotions.
She remembered the bitterness Of her
months exile, and its probable cause.
Max had stood by her then. Well he
might, If he suspected the truth.
For just moment she had an illumi-
mating flash of Wilson as he really was,
selfish and self-indulgent, just q tribe

daring, frankly pleasure-lOving. She
put her hands over her eyes.

risen above their whisper.
"Genlus has privileges, Of course"
said the older voice. HE is a very
great surgeon. Tomorrow he Is to DO
the Edwardes operation again. ! am
glad l am to see him do it"
Sidney still held her hands over her
eyes. lie was a great surgeon: In ms
hands he held the keys Of life and
death. And perhaps he had never
cared for Carlotta: she might have
thrown herself at him. He was man,
at the mercy Of any scheming woman
She tried to summon his image to
her aid. But curious thing happened.
She could not visualize him. Instead,
there came, clear and distinct, q pic
ture of X. lie MOyne in the hall Of the
little house, reaching one of his long
arms to the chandelier over his head
and looking up at her as she stood on
the stairs.
