Gator board. Certainly it was not her
business if he chose to do such thing
she told herself emphatically.
There had never been one word said
between them that could give her the
right to ask him about it; but she saw
him slam out of his office a few min
utes later and catch his coat and hat
from the rack as he passed without
speaking to her. His face was oddly
like his fathers in moods of anger, the
blue eyes turning to stormy gray, the
set lines squaring the jaws and hard
ening the mouth.
She knew his worst fault was OBJ
stinacy; that If it happened he was ac-
cused wrongly, he would never tell the
truth, but would harbor grudge
against his father for not having faith
in him.
-Four mistakes she made that after
noon. and twice Mr.. Purcell himself
called to her sharply. She was glad
when it was time to go home, and then,
at the last minute, there was a call for
her over the wire, and it was his
voice.
Say, I'm awfully sorry, Miss Rob
erts, but I didn't give any dictation
this morning, and I've got some letters
that must be answered. If had them
uptown here l could dictate to one of
the hotel stenographers but they leave
at 5. Could you wait for me? I'll
only keep you half an hour"
She agreed to wait in almost a
whisper so that neither Paul nor the
office boy could hear. Miss Searles
was the regular stenographer, but
when she was filled up with dictation
from the senior member of the firm,
Margaret had often acted for the jul
Qior. She wondered now, with a little
nervous fiuttering of her pulses, why
he had not asked Miss Searles, unless
II was because he trusted her, and did
not want his father to know he was
coming back that night.
1t was half-past six before he came
In. She stood at the west window
looking at the lights glimmering in
the lower end of the city and out on
the bay. 1t seemed oddly, mysterious
~ peaceful in the long suite. She hur-
ried to his desk with book and pencil,
hut he stood beside it, looking at her
geinly.

Early in the mesoZoic epoch there
appeared marine reptiles, which
though derived from land species, be-
came more and more aquatic through
the necessity of living in water, devel-
oping on that account swimming or
gans. Land reptiles also began to de-
velop in huge proportions. Why they
grew so big no one knows, but it may
have been because they had no rivals
in the struggle for existence; they had
all they wanted to eat and naturally
increased in bulk. At all events no
creatures are known to have ever ex-
listed in this world comparable in size
to these reptiles of ages ago.

ever operated large telephone
switchboard
There had come an inside call from
the room of Purcell, ST., to the room of
Jack Purcell, who was called Junior
around the office. She had connected
them all right, and then had forgotten
all about it, when an outside call came
for Mr.. Purcell.
1t all happened in a moment, her
slipping in the key and catching the
fragment of conversation between the
two, but that moment sent the color
clear up to Margaret's eyebrows, and
she called family into the outside line !:
BUSY, please"
Junior had been trying to say some
thing, she had not caught all of it,
something about his being able to do
as he liked when it came to his own
affairs, and his father had told him If
he went out again in the car with that
gang he needn't show up at the office.
Paul, the assistant cashier, strolled
leisurely by and smiled at her know
ingly.
They're at it," he said. Jack had
smashup ON the Jamaica turnpike at
3 a. M. and got hauled to court for
speeding. Daddy paid the fine, and
found out he was wasting his sub
stance in riotous living. Had five
aboard; wouldn't give their names in
court. Nobody hurt"
He went on to tell the same news
around the office, and Margaret sat up

when the matter of expense is not

the more serious thing was that these
methods caused the very conditions they
sought to prevent. They defeated the
only ends which could have been offered
as their excuse. Instead of uniting the
people behind the government they
caused dissension, sullen hostility, mu-
tual suspicion and strife, where all
should have been harmony, cooperation
and unified effort.
Already there are signs that the
public mind is once. more beginning to
operate sensibly in Wisconsin, and that
the customary processes Of law and order,

He Was Human.

& s
More than half century after his,
death Abraham Lincoln still is the most
influential name in our history and his
personality the most magical. There
is no mystery about this. The expla-,
nation is simple. Lincoln was presi-
dent who was hannah.
Human in his genius for statesman
ship and in his frailties. Human in
his love for story telling and relation,
and intensely filed with the humanity
that will not knowingly do an unkind
or unjust act.
It's not that he was perfection in any
Of the walks Of life in which fate turned
his steps, for there were better lawyers
in his time; there were even better story
tellers than Lincoln; and surely it would
not be difficult to name better military
than Lincoln was, or more.
learned men or greater orators than he.
But Lincoln was a man OF the people.
and Americans as rule like that kind
of man.
If anyone were asked to name the
most illusious example Of what we
have called the self-made man in America,
there would instantly occur the name Of,
Abraham Lincoln. In a country Of.
self-made men he stands in high relief!
There is no one to take place beside
him.
It is small wonder that Lincoln's life
is upheld to the poor buy as a shining
example of what determination to learn
and to succeed will do.
In the memory of this great character
and lover of freedom all men OF our time
should unite in the firm resolve to work
for the sacred liberties Of their fellow
men, great or small, rich or poor, being
led only by the thought OF doing justice
to all

To Take Out Dye Stain

To The Editor ot Womdn'S Page:
Dear Madam--Will you kindly inform me
what to do with IL centerpiece in which
the color has run? II lis a white crash
affair, worked in blue and green, and the
leaves, done in green, have run. have
Just washed it for the first time,
Running color stains are often difficult
to remove, as the composition of the
dye is not always known. You might
try the potassium permanganate treat
ment. This is sometimes very effectual
,;p dealing with colors that have run.
Prepare and dissolve the permanganate
as follows: Dissolve one teaspoonful of
the crystals in a pint of water and apply
a little of this to the stain with medi-
cine dropper or a clean cork, and allow
1t to remain for about five minutes. Re-
move any pink or brown stains left by
the permanganate by applying a little
lemon juice. Precede the treatment by
sponging and follow by thorough rinsng.
You may have to repeat the treatment
a couple of times. If this does not re-
move the stain. apply little 1avelle
water to the stain with a medicine drop
per, but don't allow 1t to stay on more
than a minute. Then apply oxalic acid
to neutralize the javelle water and rinse
in bowl of water.
You can buy these materials in any
drug store.

CURIOUS.
The French who come to this country
are most certainly allowed by their
mother country to become citizens here
IL they choose. France could not recall
her former citizens once they had be-
come naturalized here. What you prob
ably heard was that the countries over
seas reserved the right to recall their
citizens to fight for their respective
f'ags--those who were merely living In
America and had not become
naturalized. Americans who become cit
liens of other lands could not be recalled
by the United States. To become a
citizen of country you do not merely
go and reside in that country. You take
out papers in which you claim allegiance
to a new flag and renounce allegiance to
the old.
