CHAPTER xvI-contInued.


"What professional experience have
you had?" he asked.
II haven't had any"
He almost smiled when she stopped
there. "Any amateur e1perience7" he
inquired.
"Quite a lot" said Rose; 'pageants
and things, and two or three little
plays"
"Can you dance2"
"Yes," said Rose.
He said he supposed ballroom dane
ing was what she meant, whereupon
she told him she was a pretty good
ballroom dancer, but that it was gym
nastic dancing she had in mind.
"All right" he said. "See If you
can do this. Watch me, and then
initiate me exactly"
In the intensity Of her absorption
in his questions and her own answers
to them, she had never given thought
to the bystanders. But now as they
fell back to give him room, she swept
a glance across their faces. They all
wore smiles of sorts. There was some
thing amusing about thls-something
out of the regular routine. A little
knot of chorus girls halted in the act
Of going out the wide doors, and stood
watching. Was it just hoax? The
suppressed, unnatural silence sounded
like it. But at what John Galbraith
did, one of the bystanders guffawed
outright.
It wasn't pretty, the dance step he
executed-a sort Of stiff-legged skip
accompanied by vulgar hip wriggle
and concluding with a straight-out
sidewise kick. A sick disgust clutched
ut Rose as she watched-an utter re
vulsion from the whole loathly bust
ness.
"Well7 he asked, turning to her as
he finished. He wasn't smiling at all
I'm not dressed to do that" she
said.
II know you're not" he admitted
coolly; ''but it can be done. Pick UP
your skirts and do it Us you are-if
you really want job"
There was just faint edge of con.
tempt in that last phrase and, merci.
fully, it reused her anger. A blaze
kindled in her blue eyes, and two spots
Of vivid color defined themselves II
her cheeks.
She caught up her skirts as he had
told her to do, executed without com.
promise the stiff-legged skip and the
wriggle, and finished with a horizon.
tai, sidewise kick that matched his

something very different from a pranc-
ing chorus girl. The others giggled
and exchanged glances with Dave at
the piano. They didn't understand.
To them, the compliment seemed to
have been delivered with the left
hand. And somehow, an amused rec
ognition of the fact that they didn't
understand, as well as of the fact that
she did, flashed across from John
Galbraith's eyes to hers.
The impetus and direction Of Roses
career derived from two incidents
which might just as well not have
happened-two Of the fukiest Of small
chances.
The first of these chances concerned
itself with Edna Larson and her bad
voice. It was bad voice only when
she talked. When she sang it had a
gorgeous, thrilling ring, and volume
enough for four. Besides, she had an

GOOD LOGIC.

GOOD LOGIC.

hibition for army and navy. He finds
that they twill stand for 1t" but object

infallible ear and sang squarely in
tune. But when she spoke it sounded
like someone who didn't know how,
trying to play the slide trombone. She
was simply deaf, it seemed, to the
subtleties Of infection.
Daily, she reduced Galbraith to help
less wrath. Evidently he didn't mean
to be brute about 1t. He began ev-
cry one Of his tussles to improve her
reading Of a line with a gentleness
that would have done credit to a kim
dergartener. But after three attempts,
each more ominously gentle than the
last, his temper would suddenly fly all
to pieces. ...
The girl, queerly. didn't seem to
care. But in the dressing room one
night, after one of these rehearsals,
Rose got a different view. As she sat
down on q bench to unlace her shoes,
she looked straight into Edna Lar
sons face-a face sunken with a
despair that turned Rose cold. The
fearless, tragic eyes were staring.
without recognition, straight into
Roses own.
Rose delayed her dressing till the
other girls were gone, then sat down
beside Edna.
You're all right" she said. feeling
very inadequate. "rm going to help
you"
TITS always like this" the girl said.
''It's no use. He'll put me back in the
chorus again."
mot If I can help it." Rose said.
"But the first thing to do is to come
along and get something to eat"
During the next hour Rose learned,
for the first time,, what the weight of
an immense melancholy inertia can be.
The girl was like one paralyzed-
paralyzed by repeated failures and
disasters, of which she told Rose
freely. When Galbraith had put her
into the sextette, a hope, just about
dead, had been reawakened. Shed
learned to dance well enough to es-
cape censure, and she'd seen for her
self how indispensable her singing
voice was to the sextette. And then
1t had appeared she'd have to talk !
And her talking wasn't right.
Look hereT said Rose, when the
story was told. (This was across the
table in a dingy little lunch room.)
You're going to say your lines before
tomorrow's rehearsal % that Galbraith
won't stop you once. We're going to
my room now. and I'm going to teach
you. Come along"
In o sort Of daze, the girl went.
Rose put her into chair. sat down
opposite her, took the first phrase Of
her first speech. and said 1t very slow
ly, very quietly. half dozen times.
That was ut half-past eleven O'Clock
at night. BY midnight, Edna could say
those first three words to Roses sat-
izfaction. They worked like that
straight through the night, except that
two or three times the girl broke
down; said It was hopeless. She got
up once and said that she was going
home, whereupon Rose locked the door
and nut tho key In hee stocking.

PLENTY OF JOBS.

Peoria, ILL.,, was for half century
the whisky-manufacturing center Of
the United States. Its five great distil-
leries, the largest in the world, fur
nished IS per cent Of the whisky Of the
country. They used up 54,50O bushels
of corn daily and employed 1,275 men.
When these plants, on September g.
under the federal food control law,
ceased operations far as the maxi
Ing of beverage liquor is concerned
did these 1,275 men face a jobless fu-
ture? Not at all. Other manufactur-
ers eagerly snapped them up. A lead
ing business man Of Peoria said to q
Chicago reporter: There is a place
for every one of them in the tractor
factories and other industries. We can
use every ounce of coal the distilleries
have been requiring and are glad to
get it. Peoria will never know that
the distilleries have been closed"

Here are few Of long list Of

In the United States senate on the pro-
hibition amendment:
"Why do we prohibit the boys in tho
army and navy from having booze and
permit those who remain at home to
have it?
"If liquor is a bad thing for the boys
in the trenches, why is 1t good thing
for those at home3
when they are willing to die for us.
should we not be willing to go dry for
them?
"When the food controller asks ev-
eryone in the country to conserve the
food supply, why must the food supply
going into beer be excepted7
"If more foodstuft goes into beer
than into whisky, why do we prevent
foodstuff going into whisky and permit
1t going into beer3

FIRST AID TO THE ENEMY.

The Baltimore Sun, an anti-prohibi-
tion journal, recently called attention
to serious conditions in ship-building,
due to drink. Work in many of the
big shipyards is retarded, it says, be-
cause employees are changing about
saloons and soaking rum into their sys-
TENS, and, as a result, either staying
away from work for days at time or
turning up unfit to handle their part
IL the vast teamwork of modern in
dustry. They weaken the efficiency Of
the whole industrial machine"
Thus in America, as in England, the
drink traffic is furnishing first aid to
Germany. At the behests Of the liquor
interests our government is playing
into the hands Of the enemy.

CONSISTENT INCONSISTENCY.

CONSISTENT INCONSISTENCY.
Senator La Toilette Of Wisconsin, an
opponent Of prohibition, voted for the
submission to the states Of the prohi-
bition amendment to the federal con-
stitution. La Follette's Magazine ex-
plains the senator's apparent incon-
sistency thus:
Senator La Toilette said that while
he was opposed to prohibition he rec
ognized the right Of the people to set
tie all questions by the referendum,
and for that reason be voted for the
resolution"
The action proclaims the Wisconsin
senator loyal to the principles Of true
American democracy and we, the peo-
pie, commend 1t to every senator and
representative in congress.

Editorial Comment
Moving $4,000 Men

The task of assembling the men of
the new National army at the canton
ments seems to give the railroads no
small concern. 1t is expected to be a
big task, and undoubtedly would be
II all the men were to be handled in
one day or at one time. But the plan
is 10 handle about one third of them
at the start and follow this with other
units later and it surely seems as
though the immense equipment of the
nations railroads could easily do this
without the task assuming proportions
that would unnerve the railroad men.
The public is willing to restrict it's
railroad privileges for time, if neces-
sary, ana it would be possible for the
men to be brought to Aver, for in
stance, on cars that the public in this
vicinity might otherwise be using. The
public can more easily get along with
temporary disturbed service than the
soldiers can, and We assume there will
be no great objection to letting the
railroads handle this mobilization with
directness and despatch even at the
expense of an occasional train service
on the regular schedules. 1t is up to
the public to stand by and wait a
while in order that the soldiers. whose
work is the more important. be given
the right of way. This holding of troop
trains on sidings while glowing
passengers in regular trains get
pushed along over the lines ought not
to be permitted. Give the soldier bows
speed in transit.-Lowell Courier Cit

anti suffrage activity is pure selfish

Presque Isle Star-Herald, Aug ~
An article in the New York Produce
News under date Of August II. entitled
"Aroostook Outlook Good; Prospects for
Potatoes Never Better" gives a very
misleading impression Of the actual pres
ent conditions in this county. The state.
ment says: IF all goes faorably the
crop will exceed any other in this part Of
the State
Probably this article was written before
the blight made its appearance, but it is
certainly very far away from the mark
at the present time.
Within the past ten days the rust has
been playing havoc with the Aroostook
potato crop, and at the present time is
progressing rapidly. Good judges say
that had not the blight struck the crop
here. it would not have equalled the rec
ord Of last year. The rust is likely to re-
duce the yield one-third and, as some
think, one-half.
