ADDRESSES DELEGATION
OF ONE HUNDRED EN-.
THUSIASTIC WOMEN.
INDORSES THE MOVE
Says, However, That Question
Must Be Settled BY The
States.

Washington, Oct. President
Wilson on Thursday gave full in
dorsement to woman suffrage as an
immediate issue in every state.
Addressing a delegation of 100
leaders of the New York state wo-
man suffrage party who called at the
White House to obtain an expression
in support of the campaign in that
state, the President, in emphatic
terms, declared that woman suffrage
is one of the fundamental questions
of democracy whose proper settle
ment is demanded by the issues of the
war.
He praised the spirit, capacity and
vision of American women in the
war.
II believe" he said "that just be-
Cause we are quickened by the ques-
tions of this war, we ought to be
quickened to give this question Of wo-
man suffrage our immediate consid-
Grafton"
Speaking as zone Of the spokes-
man of a great party" the President
pledged his hearty support, and add
ed:
81 want to speak for myself and say
that it seems to me that this is the
time for the states of this union to
take this action"
Explaining his leaning toward suf-
frage as state rather than national
issue, he said. u perhaps may be
touched little too much by the ira
ditions of our politics-traditions
which laysuch questions almost entire
ly upon the states, but | want to see
communities declare themselves
quickened at this time and show the
consequences of the quiekening."

CHAPTER XXI.

A low cry greeted Duane. The
room was light. He saw Ray Long
streth sitting on her bed in her dress
ing-gown. With a warning gesture to
her to be silent he turned to close the
door. It was a heavy door without
bolt or, bar, and when Duane had shut
1t he felt safe only for the moment.
Then he gazed around the room.
There was one window with blind
closely drawn. He listened and seem
ed to hear footsteps retreating, dying
away.
Then Duane turned to Miss Long
streth. She had slipped of the bed.
half to her knees, and was holding out

CHAPTER Xxx.

After supper Duane stole out for
his usual evenings spying at Long
streth's ranch-hOuse. When he reach.
ed the edge Of the shrubbery he saw
Longstreth's door open, flushing q
broad bar Of light in the darkness
Lawson crossed the threshold, the
door closed, and all was dark again
outside. Not ray Of light escaped
from the window. Duane tiptoed to
the door and listened, but could hear
only murmer Of voices. Besides,
that position was too risky. He went
round the corner Of the house.
This side Of the big adobe house
was of much older construction than
the back of the larger part. There
was a narrow passage between the
houses, leading from the outside
through to the patio.
This passage now afforded Duane
an opportunity, and he decided to
avail himself Of 1t in spite of the
very great danger. Crawling on very
stealthily, he got under the shrubbery
to the entrance Of the passage. In
the blackness faint streak of light
showed the location of crack in
the wall. He had to slip in sidewise.
It was tight squeeze, but he entered
without the slightest noise. When he
got there the crack he had marked
was foot over his head. There was
nothing to do but find toe-holds in
the crumbling walls, and by bracing
knees on one side, back against the
other, hold himself up. Once with
his eye there he did not care what
risk he ran. Longstreth appeared dis
turbed; he sat stroking his mustaclie |;
his brow was clouded. Laws0n's face
seemed darker, more sullen, yet light
ed by some indomitable resolve.
"Well settle both deals tonight"
Lawson was saying. 'That's what ]
came for"
"But suppose don't choose to talk

tiently.

hasn't any use for you now. So what

"You can make her marry me-" re-
piled Lawson.
Make that girl do what she doesn't
want to? It couldn't be done. But II
Ray loved you would consent. Wed
all go away together before this mis-
cradle business is out. Then she'd
never know. And maybe you might
be more like you used to be before
the West ruined you,"
''What d YOU Want to let her come
out here for?" demanded Lawson,
hotly. 1T was a dead mistake. I've

settle things tonight"
'sWell, we can settle what Rays
concerned in, right now" replied
Longstreth, rising. "Come on; We'll
ask her. See where you stand"
They went out leaving the door
open. Duane dropped down to rest
himself and to wait.
The men seemed to be absent q good
while, though that feeling might have
been occasioned by Duane's thrilling
interest and anxiety. Finally he
heard heavy steps, Lawson came In
alone. He was leaden-faced, humili-
ated. Then something abject in him
gave place to rage. He strobe the
room; he cursed. Then LOngstreth
returned, now appreciably calmer.
Duane could not but decide that he
felt relief at the evident rejection of
Lawson's proposal.
Don't fuss about 1t, Floyd" he
said. "You see can't help it. We're
pretty wild out here but can't rope
my daughter and give her to you as
would on unruly steer"
"Longstreth, / can make her marry
me-" declared Lawson, thickly.
"How?"
"You know the hold got on you
the deal that made you boss of this
rustler gang?"
ut isn't likely I'd forget" replied
Longstreth, grimly.
II can go to Ray, tell her that, make
her believe I'd tell it broadcast-tell
this ranger-unless she'd marry me-"
Lawson spoke breathlessly, with
haggard face and Swallowed eyes. He
had no shame. He was simply in the
grip of passion.
Longstreth gazed with dark, con-
trolled fury at this relative. In that
look Duane saw strong, unscrupu-
lous man fallen into evil ways, but
still man. It betrayed Lawson to
be the wild and passionate weakling.
Like the great majority Of evil and

When he got close and looked into
her eyes he understood the strange.
dark expression in them. She was
terrified because she believed he
meant to kill her, or do worse, prob
ably worse. Duane realized he must
have looked pretty hard and fierce

Postmaster at Worcester, Mass, Must Be
Selected from List of Eligibles.

Washington, Aug, Through the
death of Postmaster John Alden Thayer
of Worcester, Mass, the first opportuni-
ty will be given to try out the new law
requiring that all candidates for post
master, eve nof the presidential class,
shall take the civil service examination.
The vacancy must be filled temporarily,
not by the postofiice department, but by
the bondsmen of Postmaster Thayer,
who are held responsible for the safe and
proper conduct of the office. The acting
postmaster to be appointed must there
fore be selected by them. He may be and
naturally would be the assistant post
master. President Wilson must name a
postmaster from the civil service list.
The postofice department will approve
whatever nomination for acting postmas-
ter the Thayer bondsmen may make, and
then the permanent filing of the vacancy
must await the result of the civil service
examinations.
