Did he tell you that"
No, it is generally known"
Then, you're sure of it?''
Yes. There's a child, too"
Helen raised her head quickly.
You say there's a child, and the
man is estranged from his wife, and
loves you and YOU love him."
Yes. | love him. / have tried to
forget him, but 1 can't. He wants
me to see him, if only occasionally;
but l can't do that. / told him so.
1t must be everything or nothing,
| and so | ran away. l have tried to
think it out for myself, but / can't
do it alone. I haven't talked with
anyone, and it's so hard when we
love each other"
Helen nodded UNDERSTANDINGS. al
know it must be: but really there is
Just one thing for YOU to do. Stop
seeing him. Even if there were ever
a chance for happiness with him.
YOU couldn't take it at the price of
the child. Surely you must see
that"
oh. do do! 7 know you are
right, but it is hard"
"Of course it is hard. but remem-
Der this, if you do what is right.
things may all come out happily for
you some day. Blacker skies than
yours have cleared up miraculously.
and happiness snatched as you would
have to snatch yours would never
compensate for what you would
have to sacrifice to obtain it. Be-
lieve me, think 1 am right
Helen spoke earnestly. She had
never played the role of adviser in
quite such picturesque way before,
and she was carried away by her en-
thusiasm and interest.
"I am Stlra Won are riRht'' the
woman returned, her eyes shining
brightly. She even smiled a little.
And 1 thank you, and l want you to
remember that 1 shall do exactly as
you say. II I thought things would
ever come out brightly for us, 1
would wait forever" :.
And who knows" said Helen
rising, you may discover that he
was not the right man."
The woman shook her head.
Never that" she returned, and
Helen was sure that she meant what
she said. This was a woman, no
foolish, giddy young girl to be swept
off her feet by the eager impassion-
ed words of an older man dissatis-
fed with life.
Helen felt that the question had
been debated carefully, and that this
putting it,up to total stranger had
been the climax. The woman's
steady eyes followed her as she went
downtown, her half gay, half sor-
rowful good bye had stirred Helen's
heart.
The experience had been like the
witnessing of a stirring play to
Helen, only the fact that she her
self had been one of the principals
in a real life drama had made an
impression on her that she would
never forget.

Appealing series.)

The bank president opened the

ing man are about to arrive. Labor
has itself been too long misled by
those who would profit by playing on
prejudice. The awakening is at
hand. The man who tolls is learn
ing to think. The inalienable rights
of property which we have all wor-
shipped in the past must give place
to the more sacred. rights of life,
liberty and an even chance in life for
the man who tolls. Woodrow Wilson
and othe- war have have given
the country a new freedom wehn
they. have given to the man
that turns the wheels, and plows the
ground, and makes two blades of
grass grow where only one grew be-
fore, a chance to be himself Of the
state. His home must be of the best.
His family must be on an equality
with every other family. His chill
dren must be e21cated. They must
have a chance in life. The man who
tolls must be given living wage,
and in turn he must earn it. The
homes in the country must be made
free for the women who have so long
been slaves in them. The woman who
works must be allowed to live, and
the sweatshops of the country must
be made tolerable places in which
people may live, and work and see
growing opportunity.
Can He Man The Ship?
These are the conditions which con-
front the new governor of South
lCarolina, who knows so well the
needs, the desires and the burning
ambitions of those who have not had
what they were entitled to by right.
VIII he prove great leader? Will
he be equal to the emergency? Will
he be able to make of the people of:
this state a, great thinking aggrega-
ton of individuals, who love and
who would serve the state, rather
than blind followers Of office-seekers,
and fit tools of self-seeking and de-
signing men? Will he be able to
turn the eyes of the people towards
the golden west, or shall we again
slip into the old factional rut?
We await the result. Should he
make the effort as we would have him
do, he will have the support of all the
good men in the party. Bleaseism
will die, as will anti-Bleaseism, and
every other ''ism" of like kind.
Bleaseism is not dead but sleepeth.
