plan. altogether constitutes probably
the strongest body of opponents of

had learned a lot from Hetty's
aunt, yet there were many questions
would have liked to ask. But Hetty
motioned me to leave her. and really
she looked so i'll 1 felt almost guilty
that I had allowed her to talk SO long.
So Leola had been her own worst
enemy. Hetty's aunt had said she
loved Everett, yet she was always
her devotedly, and gave in to her in
everything. Why had he SO changed =?
He never gave in to me in anything.
Another sure proof-to my mind
that he did not love me. She used to
do things to make him jealous, to
show her power over him. Perhaps
that made him love her, too. To
know she could make others like her.
Hetty's aunt had said:
Never was a woman loved like he
loved her. l amt surprised he waited
nine years before he married again"
I felt positive that even after nine
years he still loved her-at least loved
her memory so much that it prevented
him caring for nne-unless he cared
for someone else!
He had not blamed her when\ the
baby was born dead altho he had
grieved terribly. And it was really
her fault. 1t must be wonderful to be
was I hurt by what she said about his
taking Leola in his arms like he would
baby, and petting and coaxing her
until she became quiet. When cried
he scolded me. 1t was all too compli-
Gated.
I hoped might go and see Hetty's
aunt again. There were a lot of
questions l wanted to ask her. But
she died that week. Hetty was heart
broken, and I tried to comfort her.
Her aunt had been the only relative
she had in the world. But even while
I was talking to the weeping girl, 1
was sorrowing myself because she
could not tell me anything more of
Leola.
All my wonder at Everett's indiffer-
ence to Barrett Edmonds's call had
evaporated when he told me that he
and Dagmar Stewart were going to be
married. 1 had other plans, but
Everett knew nothing of them And
so long as he didn't object to Barrett
calling, I would perhaps have a
\ chance to carry them out
To my deligI he called me up
| again soon after the day he came with
Dagmar. and asked II I cared to have
another sing / told him I should be
delighted and he said he would come
in about 4 o'clock.

Probably the time will come when
the world will be compelled to deal

that of the kaiser in invading Belgium.

The public has learned one impor-
tant lesson from government operation
OF railroads and that is that whatever
money is paid out by the management
in wages, taxes or other expenses must
come out OF the pockets of the peo-
pie. While the roads were under pri-
waite management there appeared to be
an impression that they could grab
money out of the air. and did net need
n revenue equal to their expenses.

LET Us MAKE haste SLOWLY.

The governments campaign against
profiteering has caused various states
and municipalities to launch such
movements on their own account with
the result that the crusade against ris-
ing living costs has Assumed almost
nationwide proportions. This move
ment is natural in view of the extra
ordinary advances that have taken
place in the price OF foodstuffs, cloth
ing, shoes and other articles of ap-
parel. But 1t may easily be carried to
extremes. says a bulletin issued by the
National City bank OF Chicago, and in
jure legitimate business and the well
fare Of millions of small merchants
who have never engaged in profiteer-
ing at all, but who have been forced
to do business upon the higher price
basis of the last few months.
The feeling against profiteering is
so intense that the public should be
warned against drawing too hasty con-
illusions regarding the causes back of
the high food prices. At such a time
it is not at all difficult TO impede bust
ness or to hamper the efficiency of
an Industrial mechanism which the
ablest business men in the world have
taken many years to put together. 1t
ought not TO be difficult to discover
instances where an extortionate profit
has been demanded. or where misrep-
reservations as to trade conditions
have been made. But the greatest
care should be taken not to proceed
hastily on hearsay evidence or along
lines calculated to increase business
unsettlement.
The public has been greatly irri-
tated by advancing food prices and is
naturally In the mood to pass snap
judgment which might work serious
hardship to innocent business men.
The problem Is in no sense local
one. but has been encountered in most
OF tn. leading countries, notably those
within the war area. The remedy lies.
in the judgment of the best known
economists and other investigators, in
increasing production and in spending
less ana saving more. In no other
way will it be possible to pay for the
waste OF war in which all nations
sooner or later must take a hand.

Young Laws was on a street with a

an automobile came travelling along

that he try to lasso the car, which
he did, the lariat fastening on one

of the affair was that the other end
of the lasso was fastened about the
