CHAPTER XV.
The Conquest of Centropolis.

Tho Conquest of Centropolis.
Centropolis wasn't a very big town,
| but it had a wide, well-paved street
lined with stores, and pleasant va
riety of gravel roads winding round
hills which had neat and fairly pros
them. "A rather dtsl.lAea old, court
! house among the big trees of the
square proclaimed the place a county
seat. 1t was a warm Apri! day; the
grass was green and the little leaves
already were bursting out on the
shrubbery.
Roses idea was to stroll about a
little and get her bearings first, and
then go into one store after another
on Main street until she should find a
Job. She had no serious misgivings
that she wouldn't get one eventually;
before night, this was to say.
But her confidence was short lived.
She cut short her ramble about the
streets because of the stares she at
tracted, and the remarks about her
self that she couldn't ignore. Young
men shouted at each other, directing
attention to her with brutality of
epithet that brought the blood to her
| cheeks.
Peonle got together in groups and
nodded At her, pointed at her. A few
of them leered, but more of them
scowled. There seemed to be sense
Of outrage that she hadn't left the
town when the rest did.
There was dry goods store on the
principal corner of the street, which
she'd selected as she walked along
as the place to begin her quest. She
made detour around two or three
blocks in order to avoid retracing her
steps down Main street and slipped
into the door of this establishment as
unostentatiously as she could.
She was saved inquiring for the pro-
prjetor by the conviction that the
rather dapper looking. gray-haired
man who came blinking toward her in
near-sighted way as she passed in
the main aisle. was he.
"My names Rose Stanton" she said
as he came up. 1--WE come to see if
I can get employment in your store. -
His manner changed instantly. He
came q step closer and stared at her
with a surprise he didn't try to con-
ceal.
II haven't had any experience as a
saleswoman," she went on. "and I
know there's a lot to learn. But I'd
work hard and learn as fast as"
Excuse me-" he said, "but aren't
YOU a member of that theatrical COM
pany that was here last night?
Tho intensity with which he was
staring at her made her look away.
and her eyes rested on young man
whose strong family likeness to the
proprietor identified him for her as
his son. At this question he stared
at her, too.
The older man whipped around
upon his son. "Clear out. Jim," he
said sharply. And then to Rose: "You
haven't answered my question"
IT was a member Of that company"
she said "But-"
1--WE have no vacancy at present"
he said sharply. Good day."
She flinched a little hut stood her

CHAPTER XIV.
Tho End of the Tour.

From Dubuque tho company made
a circuit northward into Wisconsin
and Minnesota, swung around a loop.
and worked their way south again.
Disaster stalked behind them ali the
way. casting Its lengthening shadow
before them to walk in. on the
very first salary day after Rodney's
newspaper had Informed Rose of her
true financial situation. the manager
to the more exigent members Of the
company, and remunerated the others
with thanks, a nervous smile, and the
rock-rtbbed assurance that they'd get
1t all next week. The long jump they'd
just taken. and a couple of bad
houses (they were all bad, but the two
he spoke Of couldn't be called audi
ences at all, except by courtesy) had
caused temporary stringency.
Rose saw what the more expert
enced members Of the company were
doing and knew that she ought to FOL-
low their examples: keep after the
manager for her money, hound him.
appeal to him. invent fictitious needs.
and then not spend q cent except what
was absolutely wrung out of her by
necessity, 80 that when the crash came
she wouldn't be left penniless. But
she lacked the energy to do 1t.
Somehow the days dragged along
until the pursuing and Iong-visible
disaster finally overlook the company
in Centropolis, ILL.,, (this is not the
real name OF the city, but it is no more
fagrant q misnomer than the one it
boasts). They played a matinee here
and an evening performance to two
almost empty houses that gave them
the coup de grace.
There was no call posted on the
bulletin board that night, and the
next day. after a brisk exchange of
telegrams with Chicago, the manager
called the company together in one
of the sample rooms of the hotel and
announced that the tour was off. He
also announced, with a magnanimity
which put far into the background the
fact that he owed them all at leas
two weeks salary, that everybody in
the company would be provided with
a first class ticket for Chicago.
Rose didn't go to the railway sta
ton to sign her receipt and get her
ticket to Chicago. What was there
in Chicago for her? She meant to
stay. for the present. at any rate, in
Centropolis. She checked her suit
case in the coat room, and, with a
sensation of relief, watched the
mournful company file away.
She had three dollars and some
small change, and the day before her.

That's settled. There's one more

Rose contemplated this question q
little blankly for moment. do you

they'd take person like me? Or
would it be all right IL you asked
them?"
"Oh. 1 guess" said Miss Gibbons.

 It is true that Count Tefauchi re- piled by allying himself, temporarily at least. with the Seiyukai or poll itical friends party, thus tacitly acknowledging the force of the claim for a form of party government. Nevertheless, the result shows that the constitutionalists met a crushing defeat.
 The most representative explana- 'tion of the result Is that the Japanese voters only vaguely under stand, and pay little attention as yet. to abstract principles and that. ro- fiecting Japanese psychology, they lay more stress upon immediate in- terests. By supporttng the Seiyukat party the voters expressed their con- fldence in the present ministry which, notwithstanding it's bureau cratic organization has not only com mitted no serious blunders but has. under the leadership of Count Ter

 The most influential newspaper of Japan voice their regret that the election indicates the absence of any political awakening. They predict that Japan will have 8 very slow constitutional development. The op- position press points out that the al- lance between Premier.

A WORTHY PURPOSE

The comprehensive report submit
ted by Senator Francis E. Warren OF
Wyoming on the bill proposing to es-
tablish the distinguished = service
medal aided materially in the prompt
passage of that measure recently
through the Senate. In his report
Mr.. Warren sets forth the fact that
the congressional medal Of honor can
be awarded only for conspicuous
heroism on the battlefield, and the
only official recognition of distin-
guished service not in actual battle
is the certificate of merit, which can
be given to none but enlisted men.
There will be a great need during the
present war for a suitable recogri-
ton of unusually praiseworthY acts
which may be performed by officers or
enlisted men, whether in actual bat
tie or not. and it is the purpose OF the
bill TO fill that want.
