WN ETY. was seated before her
tn mirror, gazing somewhat
doubtfuliy from the small,
S round box of rouge in her
hand to her wan reflection, Dare she
hope successfully TO conceal the raw
ages Of a sleoploss. tortured night?
Her eyes sunkCn and heavily clrcled,
only tho birthmark, like a scarlet
stain, glowed sullouly and sorved but
10 acccutuatc her pallor. II were bet
tor by far that her employers keen
eyes should motto a condition which
~Ho could attribute to illness than
that her effort TO conceal II would
be so paIpaDlo as TO invite suspicion
OF a gruycr nature.
How she had managed e. reach her
room after the shock Of her tragic
discovery she could not have told. No
memory remained with her OF that
swift, silent flight from tho room Of
death. She only know that she found
herself back In bed once more, trem-
bling. in every limb and with an lev
pulsolcss void In her breast whore her
heart had been.
The breakfast gong sounded as she
replaced her rouge unused IN tho
drawer, and with leadcn feet she de-
seconded the stairs. The door Of tho
dining room was open and from
within It issued the cheerful clatter
OF silver and buObling purr of the
coffee urn,
As If hypnotized, Betty made hor
way down tho han, but paused in
voluntarily on the threshold. The
room was i'm perfect order, the furui-
turo arranged as usual; even tho
great cut glass bowl, which she had
seen only u few hours before shat
tered into q score Of fragments, stood
whole and unmarried in its accus-
toned place upon the sldeboard.
The girls eyes turned inCrCdulOUsly
10 the hearth where tho ghastly ia
uro had lain. II was spick and span.
and the pale gray OF the silkon rug
showed no slightest trace OF the sim
lister pool which had Redeemed II a
few short hours before.
Tho bright sunlight streaming IN
between tho curtains at tho window
added the last touch of solid reality
TO the scene, and Betty felt that her
sanity was rocking i'm tAe balance.
She became conscious Of eyes upon
her. and turned sharply, Mrs. Alter
bury stood just behind her, smiling
her calm, ~'usoruiah'o smile.

Socialist Van Lear attributes his
defeat to <this boys meaning Mime
apolis boys who have gone to war.
Was there ever an utterance SO false.
He, personally, opposed the draft
while the boys Of Minneapolis were
volunteering and enlisting by hun
dreds. His son was Stacker and his
bolsheviki father put forth every Ell
fort to keep him from being drafted.
He was eventually taken to Camp
Dodge in irons but proved SO lncor-
rigible, according to army reports,
that he was drummed out OF the ser
vice. And yet the redflag mayor at
tributes his defeat to the base assump-
ton that the soldier boys would have
voted for him il they had not Joined the
colors. Crushed down by loyal citizens
compelled to bite the dust, he seem.
ingly knows not which way to turn.

Calderwood, the hyphenated nation

for United States senator, doubtless
realizes that at this time he is lesser
microbe with the emphasis on lesser"
But, at the same time, his audacity in
daring to run against the father of the
senate, Knute Nelson, while astonish-
ing, is worthy Of notation. No one
possessing a grain Of common sense
anticipated for moment that the
vacillating perennial officeseeker, Cal
derwood, would be elected, but there
are numerous nincompoops in this
country who do not even possess that
grain of sense.

The deer-hunting season opened on
the 10th instant and will continue to
the end of November. By holding
ones ear to the ground it is not diff
ficult to distinguish the sounds enla-
mating from dying cattle, hogs and
sheep above the din Of battle IN the
northIand. Not that any of the coun-
try boys would mistake these ANIMALS
for deer, but the city sapheads-ca-
parisoned in patent leather boots,
buckskin-lined silk vests, etc, and car
rying fancy rifles the mechanism OF
which they are ignorant the nuts
who put over these stunts. And not
only this, but they ofttimes mistake
human beings for deer and slaughter
them. A law should be enacted pro-
hibiting such ignoramuses from car,
rying firearms.

In the defeat of Van Lear Minneap-
oils local bolshevism has been routed,
but the surprise is that man with a
German name came forth victorious in
the Sweden of Minnesota. But this is
no doubt attributable to the fact that
Van Lear is Hollander and that he
has been tried and found wanting. So,
between the two-a Dutchman and a
German they preferred the latter for
the reason that he could not possibly
be worse than the former. Had a
Swede, however, been a candidate fo1
mayor of Minneapolis he would have
had much larger majority than the
man with a German name-Meyers.

Even after the American people had
been humbugged by fake peace re-

down another rumor of like character
last Thursday afternoon. Bells were

the country and people went into hys-
terics over nothing more or less tnan
an unvarnished lie probably conceived
and circulated by curbstone brokers to
affect the stock market. And then,
again, it is possible that it was mere
German propaganda. The susceptl-
bility Of the masses to swallow wild
reports without an investigation is
astonishing, and especially 50 if these
reports are peace fakes. It would %
