dishes on 1t and white cover. frayed
and worn. She led me to the other
table which was neatly covered with
snowy linen. The tall woman served
a supper on deep blue china, cooked
as only they could cook in old New
England. Meanwhile could hear the
voice Of the aged squire-a weird,
empty, inhuman voice 1t was, utterly
cut of from his intelligence. It came
out Of the troubled depths Of his
misery.
So that house-the scene Of his
great sin which would presently lie
down with him in the dust-was flood
ed, hundred times day. by the un-
happy spirit Of its master. In the
dead Of the night I heard Its despair
echoing through the silent chambers.
Kate said little as we ate. or as we
sat together in the shabby, great room
after supper, but she seemed to enjoy
my talk and went into the details of
my personal history.
The look on her face, even while I
vas speaking. indicated that her
thoughts wandered, restlessly, in the
gloomy desert of her past. I thought
Of that gay, birdlike youth Of hers Of
which the old man with the scythe
had told me, and wondered. AS was
thinking of this there came cry from
the aged squire SO loud and doleful
that 1t startled me and I turned and
looked toward the open door.
Kate rose and came to my side and
leaned toward my ear whispering:
"It is my father. He is always think
ing Of when I was girl. He wants
me-"
She bade me good night and left
the room. Doubtless it was the out
ragged, departed spirit of that golden
time which was haunting the old
squire. A Bible lay on the table near
me and I sat reading 1t for an hour or
so. A tan clock In a corner solemnly
tolled the hour Of nine. In came the
tall woman and asked me in the
brogue Of the Irish:
"would you like to go to bedf"
Eyes, I am tired"
She took q candle and led me up q
broad oaken stairway and into a room
Of the most generous proportions. A
big four-post bedstead, draped in
white, stood against wall. The bed,
sheeted in old linen. had quilted GOV.
ers. The room was noticeably clean
its furniture of old mahogany and Its
carpet comparatively unworn.
When I undressed dreaded to put
out the candle. For the first time in
years I had a kind of child-fear Of the
night. But went to bed at last and
slept rather fitfully, waking often when
the cries Of the old squire came flood
ing through the walls. How longed
for the light of the morningl 1t came
at last and I rose and dressed and
went out of doors.
Kate met me at the door when I
| went back into the house and kissed
my cheek and again I heard those
talf-spoken words: my boy" I ate
my breakfast with her and when was
about to get into my saddle at the
door gave her a hug and, as she
tenderly patted my cheek, a smile
lighted her countenance so that 1t

Wrist BIotter,

In these days of wrist watches there
seems to be call for the simple wrist
bIotter recently invented by Harland
W. Cardwell of Texarkana, Tex. This
device consists merely of a curved
blotter back, blotter and wrist strap,
so that the blotter may be worn on the
right hand of the user. Thus the blot
ter is instantly available for use, and
the pen does not have to be laid down.

ITO THE EDrToR OF Books AND THE
i Book WoND-Sn: Ny esteemed
publisher, Mr.. Liveright, suggests that 1
analyze your recent review of American
ICED Socialism. He opines that you would
publish such an analysis. Perhaps you
will.
Your reviewer msquotes me when he
says tn. three institutions Of privilege
named in the book are monarchy, slavery
and private property. Monarchy, slavery
and capitalism are the institutions named
and discussed. Socialism is opposed to
capitalism, but not to private property.
1t does not object to ownership, private
or public, but only to payment for own
ership. This point is insisted on very spe-
ci6eally. For instance on page forty
eight occurs this passage:
at (Socialism) is opposed, not to pri-
vate property, as its enemies contend, but
to distinctive or undemocratie property
only"
Conjunctive property is property in
which ownership and use are conjoined,
as in a mans ownership Of his hat, or
city's ownership Of its waterworks. Dis
junctive property is property in which
they are disjoined, as in AS ownership of
the house B lives In, or the ownership by
a stock company Of the railroad used by
a community. Both kinds of property
may be either private or public. Prae-
tically all property in colonial America
was eonjunctive. The industrial revolu-
ton converted large part of it, namely
property in the means Of production, Into
the distinctive form. Socialism proposes
to restore it to the eonjmctive form again
by providing that property which is pub
icly used shall be publicly owned, leav-
ing that which is privately used to be pri-
vately owned.
The confusion of private property with
capitalism is without excuse at this late
day in economic enlightenment. The econ
omist who discusses Socialism without
recognizing the distinction between con-
junctive and distinctive property Is as
well equipped for his task as the embryol-
ogist who discusses the processes of re-
production without recognizing the dis
tinction between the sexes. Your reviewer
notes that I use "primer style" in dis
cussing this subject. The kind of error
he falls into explains the necessity for it.
One other point illustrating the same
necessity viii suffice for the present "an-
alysis." The relation Of Socialism to
American democracy seems confusing to
your reviewer, and is certainly confusing
to most American critics of Socialism.
That is why primer style of explanation
is appropriate. The following syllogism
provides one:
Premise l: The people should rule over
what concerns them.
Premise 2: The conduct of the indus

LADIES! DARKEN
 YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
 will know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to it's na- tursI color dates back to grand mot ar's time. She used it to keep her nair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked ap- pearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect.
 But brewing at home Is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound" you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addi- tion of other ingredients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A well-knOwn downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply damp en a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disa ppears, and after another application or two, it be- comes beautifully dark and glossy A dgV.

QUIT MEAT WHEN
 KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take 8 glass of Salts if your Back hurts or Bladder
 troubles you

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a wen-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which eHcites the kidneys, they become OverwOrked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then We get sick Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness. dizziness, sleep lessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of lad Salts from any phar- macy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimu- late the kidneys, lso to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder V eakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes a delightful efferves- cent Whitewater drink which every one should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney cOmplications.-Ad
