now she sat up stinly. II certainly
didn't care enough about him to mar
ry him; I wouldn't have let myself
care that much until he showed that
he wished to marry me. I'm not that
sort of person!" The poor lady paid
her vanity this piteous little tribute.
"What I mean is, if Wilbur hadn't died
people wouldn't have had it proved
before their very eyes that what
they'd been talking about was true"
"You say-you say that people be-
lieve-" George shuddered, then
forced himself to continue, In a sick
voice: "They believe my mother IS
is in love with that MANI"
"Of course"

said, until it is denied. Gossip goes
on about every human being alive and
about all the dead that are alive
enough to be remembered, and yet
almost does any harm until
some defender makes a controversy"

come to listen to any ge~neralizing dose
Of philosophy! l ask YOU"
"You asked me what you've done,
and I'm telling YOU" Anderson gave
him q melancholy smile, continuing:
"Suffer me to do it in my own way.
Fanny says there's been talk about
your mother, and that Mrs. johnson
does some of it. l 4 don't know, because
naturally nobody, would come to me
with such stuff or mention it before
me; but it's presumably true-I sup
pose it is. I've seen Fanny with Mrs.
Johnson quite a lot; and that old
lady is a notorious gossip, and that's
why she ordered you out of her house
when you pinned her down that she'd
been gossiping. I suppose it's true
that the whole town. Il lot of others,
that is, do share in the gossip. In this
town, naturally, anything about any

and a lie would send the ripplcs as
far as n truth would. You can be sure
that for many years there's been more
gossip in this place about the Amber
sons than about any other family. I
dare say it isn't so much SO now as
it used to be, because the town got
too big long ago, but it's the truth
that the more prominent you are the
more gossip there is about you, and
the more people would like to pull you
down. Well, they can't do it as long
as you refuse to know what gossip
there is about you. But the minute
you notice it it's got you! I'm not
speaking Of certain kinds Of SANDER
that sometimes people have got to take
to the courts; I'm talking Of the
wretched buzzing the Mrs. Johnsons
do-the thing you seem to have such
a horror of-people '~talking'-the kind

; People who have repeated a SANDER
either get ashamed or forget it, If
they're let alone. People will forget
almost any SANDER except one that's

"Is that all?" George asked.
II suppose So" his uncle murmured
sadly.

have done in my placer"

"She told me to leave the house,
George said desperately. II went
there because Aunt Fanny told me the
whole town was talking about my
mother and that man Morgan-that
they say my mother is going to marry
him and that proves she was too fond
of him before my father died-she
said this Mrs. johnson was one that
talked about it, and I went to her to
ask who were the Others"
Amberson's jaw fell in dismay.
Don't tell me you did that!" he said,
in a low voice; and then, seeing it was
true, ooh, nov you have done It'll"
"Tve done it?" George cried. "What
do YOU mean: I've done it? And what

easy chair beside his dressing table,

about to put on dangling from his
hand, which had fallen Imply o. the

George folded his arms bitterly.

"They car now" said Anderson. II

CHAPTER XIV,

George took off his dressing-gown
and put on a collar and tie, his fingers
shaking sc that the tie was not his
usual success; then he picked up his
coat and waistcOat, and left the room
while still in process Of donning them,
fastening the buttons as he ran down
the front stairs to the door. It was
not until he reached the middle of the
street that he realized that he had for
gotten his hat; and he paused for an
i%rresOlute moment then he decided
that he needed no hat for the sort OF
call he intended to make, aud went
forward hurriedly. Mrs. Johnson
was at home, the Irish girl who came
to the door Informed him, and lie was
left to await the lady, in a room like
an elegant well-the Johnsons' ere.
ception ROOM"
Mrs. johnson came in, breathing no.
ticeably; and her round head, smooth.
ly but economically decorated with
the hair of an honest woman, seemed
to be lingering far in the background
Of the Alpine bosom which took pre-
cedence of the rest Of her everywhere ;
but when she was all in the room, it
was to be seen that her breathing was
the result Of hospitable haste to greet
the visitor, and her hand suggested
that she had paused for only the brief
est additions. George accepted this
cold, damp lump mechanically.
"Mr. Amberson-I near Mr.. Nina
.fer!" she exclaimed. "I'm really de-
lighted; I understood you asked for
me. Mr.. Johnson's out of the city,
but Charles downtown and I'm look
ing for him ut any minute, now, and
he'll be so pleased that you"
II didn't want to see Charlie"
George said. II want"

what Aunt Amelia said about people
talking. You denied it. And that
wasn't the only time; you'd attacked
me before then, because I intimated
that Morgan might be coming here too
often. You made me believe that
mother let him come entirely on your
account, and nov you say"
II think he did," Fanny interrupted
desolately. II think he did come as
much to e me as anything-for a
while it looked like it. He did act a
good deal that way-and If Wilbur
hadn't died"
"You told me there wasn't any
talk"
II didn't. think there was much,
then" Fanny protested. Il didn't
know how much there was"
"What"
"People don't come and tell such
things to a persons family, you know.
You don't suppose anybody was going
to say to George Anderson that his
sister was getting herself talked about,
do you? Or that they were going to
say much to me?"
"You told me-" said George, f1ercely,
that mother never saw him except
when she was chaperoning you"
"They weren't much alone together,
then," Fanny returned. "Hardly ever,
before Wilbur died. Everybody knew
that he'd been engaged to her"
"What's that?" George cried.
Everybody knows it. Don't you re
member your grandfather speaking of
it at the Sunday dinner one night"
"He didn't say they were engaged
or"
swell, they were! Everybody knows
it; and she broke it off on account OF
that serenade when Eugene didn't
know what he was doing. He drank
when he was a young man, and she
wouldn't stand for it, but everybody
in this town knows that Isabel has
never really cared for any other mar
in her life! Poor Wilbur! He was
the only soul alive that didn't know
it,"
Nightmare had descended upon thu
unfortunate George; he leaned bacl
against the %footboard of his bed, gaz
ing wildly at his aunt. II believe Tn

"No" Fanny gasped.
"You did!"
II tell you I didn't know how mucl
talk there was, and it wouldn't hav'
amounted to much if Wilbur ha,
lived" And Fanny completed thi
with a fatal admission: II didn't wan

eyes now dry between their redeemed
lids. "Why George" she said, gently,

You must know that everybody in
town thinks they're going to be mar

George uttered an incoherent cry
and sections Of him appeared to
writhe. He was upon the verge Of
actual nausea.
"You know it," Fanny cried, getting
up. "You don't think I'd have spoken
OF 1t to you unless I was sure you
knew it?" Her voice was wholly
genuine, as it had been throughout the
wretched interview. Somebody must
have told you"
"Who told you?" he said.
"What"
"Who told you there was talk?
Where is this talk? Where does it
come from? Who does it,"
"Why, 1 suppose pretty much every

Will Lincoln Try Municipal Street Railways?

The word from Lincoln that the people there
will soon pass on the question of taking over
the street railway system and operating it as
municipal enterprise has general interest and
more particular interest for Omaha. If Lin
coin should embark in the municipal owner
ship OF street railways and make success of it,
the example would surely exert an influence in
Omaha only S. miles away and, on the other
hand, failure of the venture to meet expecta-
tons would have bearing upon our treatment
of our street railway problem. Incidentally, it
is worth noting that in the hearing now in
progress before the Federal Electric Railway
commission at Washington, Dean Mortimer E.
Cooley of the University of Michigan advocated
municipal ownership as the best and quickest
way to convince the public that it is not desr-
able. Whether Lincoln is a good place to try
this experiment, whether conditions of traffic
and operation will present far test for other
cities, will perhaps still be open to debate. Then
again, the people of Lincoln, when they come
to vote on the proposition, may possibly reg
lister against municipal street railways. For
ourselves, we should like to see Lincoln try

People and the Peace Treaty.

Special advocates of the ratification without
reservation of the Versailles treaty lay great
stress on the fact that it adopted by the
British Parliament almost without discussion.
These do not, however, disclose the fact that
the discussion deep, earnest, and penetrat-
ing. Nor do they make it plain that Lloyd
George, Lord Miner and others debated it in
public before many different organizations
through which British opinion may be shaped
Most important, it is not explained that instead
of making formal reservations, the British Par
lament finally ratified the treaty with dis
tinct understanding that nothing in it affects
British sovereignty anywhere on earth. Premier
Hughes of Australia tersely put it: I'VE will
lie safe behind the shield that has protected
US through the war
Americans ask only that it be made clear
that the sovereignty of the United States be not
surrendered to the decision of council of ma
tons, even though that decision to be effective
must be unanimous. On this point there be
no compromise. The sovereign power of the
United States dwells in the people, and there it
will remain.
However anxious our people may be to
avoid war, they are not ready to enter into
any arrangement that may operate to involve
them in war without their consent. 1t is to
the credit of the man in the street that he is
fundamentally jealous of his responsibility a
citizen. He is not ready to yield his assent to
any program looking to limitation or modifca-
ton of this responsibility.
Discussion of the treaty and its contents
will not be limited for no better reason than
that it was not fully debated in England or
France. In 50 far as it affects American rights,
now and for the future, it is to be dissected and
made clear, and any part of it that abridges the
freedom of action of the republic will be re-
jected.

Misleading the Farmer

Farmers in the northwest are being misled by
the same sort of ignorance Of fundamental
economic principles. Out in North Dakota the
Farmers Nonpartsan league has started the
state in the banking business. We have be-
fore US cartoon used in their propaganda. 1t
shows smiling farmer stepping up to bank
window, shaking hands with the smiling cashier
and asking, Am l good for loan Henry
The ejaculation of the farmers wife-"Land
sakes, can this be true?'-and the smiling coun-
tenances of large family indicate that the
farmer got his loan OF course, the
farmer ought to know that bank cannot loan
money on friendship, but only on security, and
that the money doesn't belong to the bank or
/ its officers, but to the depositors.
Millions were misled. after the Civil war; by
the rag money" advocates who said that all
the government needed to do was to print
greenbacks and pay its debts, forgetting that
back of the governments paper and credit
must be gold. As things are going now, farm
ers will not long need be borrowers In 1914
the average value of crops was 1910 per farm
in 1917 more than $1,000 while in 1918 it was
s.. 500, and in 1919 will probably'be $4,000 And
We are glad of it.
Let the farmers and wage earners and all OF
as be happy and prosperous, but muzzle the per-
sons who are preaching the gospel of unrest to

truths of the gospel-Leslie's.

Not q Qualified Teacher

Henry Ford bears cheerful testimony on the
witness-stand to his profound ignorance of his
tory, including the causes of wars, and to his
satisfied belief that history is all bunk" any
way, and not worth knowing.
Nobody dispute Mr.. Fords ri ght to hold
these views if they suit him, But no man who
does hold them can be considered a safe guide
or counselor on the subject of national defense
Mr.. Ford, in crisis of this nations history
set himself up to be such guide and counselor
and by the circumstance of his great wealth was
able to give his pacifist and antipreparedness
teachings wide publicity.
Probably many persons who accepted those
teachings did so because they believed Mr.
Ford to be qualified, by knowledge and study
of the worlds history, to pronounce with att
thority such subjects. The danger, which
this sequel reveals, of assuming that the gift OF
prophecy necessarily goes with the accumula-
sons seeking guidance in time of great national
peril-Kansas CITY Times.
