RECONCILIATION


When Louise opened her eyes she
had a feeling that she must
have slept months. Nothing was
clear to her mind except that she
was undressed and in bed in her own
room.
The c%retonne curtains were drawn,
but through a little space between
them a warm shaft of sunlight came.
Yes, that gave her a better idea: she
had run away from home the night
before. She had come back to her
parents home, to rest and build up,
to patch up her health and such Of
her illusions as she had left. Anne
would come in
The familiar figure of the nurse
walked through the line of her vision
and disturbed her. What was q nurse
doing here? Perhaps the baby had
already been born! A tumble of ideas
and half-thoughts went through her
head. Then she moved to ease the
pain in her back and the nurse came
over to the bed.
There was a voice in another room
which sounded strangely like Harry's.
1t confused her still more, for what
was Harry doing here at her moth
er's house? She had left him to go
to her mother
Then her mind cleared and she
remembered everything perfectly.
The days of waiting and of diminish
Ing hope, the death scene the night
before, her fathers hopeless look as
he sat in his study afterwards.
She opened her eyes wide as the
nurse put a practiced hand on her
wrist to feel her pulse.
Il ave a nice surprise for you
and then o must eat breakfast"
she told Louise.
Have 1 been asleep Iong?" Louise
n GlkpH CffI1 fpvF,r =, go -. -
You tainted early this morning.
don't you remember" the nurse
asked. And when Louise shook her
head, she went on: Then we put
you to bed and you've slept a long
time; It's noon now. Feeling bet
Very much" Louise answered.
wishing the pain in her back would
stop and that she would feel less
s~uffocated.
The nurse left her alone and she
lay there staring across the room.
trying to adjust her mind to the new
order of things. She was head of
the house now, her father would de-
pend on her. There was consolation
in this at least. For he had been
unhappy in his marriage and 80 had
she. And now they had only each
other, and between them a very real
affection and friendship was growing.
The door opened and she turned
her head. And there before her I'M
believing eyes stood Harry. He was
the surprise the nurse had mention
ed so casually.
Louise gave r. little cry of amaze
ment, and held out her arms to him.
Harry! Oh, Harry" was all she
could say for q time, while he held
her tightly in his arms, murmuring
over and owe again, My dear, my
dear, my dear"

After a little she lay back on the
pillows to look at him, but holding
his hand.
How did you know about It
about mother" she asked, presently.
your father 'phoned me this
morning as soon rs I reached my Of
fee. I'm so sorry. pSor. little girl.
You've had everything to bear with
this last year"
After all. it was a good thing 1
said. Mother was i'll almost from
the day 1 came. In any case, she
would have sent for me weeks and
weeks ago. As it was, It made her a
lot happier to have me with her.
And to know you'd given me UP,
too" Harry said, with a rueful little
smile. "She never liked me. l don't
blame her. I didn't take care of you
as 1 should"
Hush. we won't talk about it,"
Louise said gently, and put her arms
around his neck. II didn't give you
up, even though she thought So"
II thought so, however, when you
did not answer my second letter. y"
Harry told her. II knew you had
burned it, and thai seemed like a
farewell, ever though you had said
you would come back sometime"
Lets don't talk about il now"
Louise begged. I'm so happy to
have you again"
And with his kiss she forgot for
the moment the sorrows of the past
and the uncertainties of the future.

Don't overfeed. Twice as

Don't change suddenly from

Don't leave calves in damp,
dark, crowded, poorly ventilated

Don't feed milk In dirty pals.
Don't be irregular as to time
of feeding, temperature or
amount of milk.

Stimulating feed as indicated by the
following points: Great length from
withers to hip bone; full crop; well
sprung ribs that are broad, deep and
wide apart.
When judging the capacity of n
COW, it Is important to notice the eff
ficiency of her digestive organs by
studying her handling qualities. See
whether her hide is soft, loose, pill
able of medium thickness, and covered
with a soft, silky coat of hair, which
indicates that the organs of digestion
are In perfect working order.

TAKLNG STOCK OF RESULTS

The question OF whether or not the late legislature was the worst
ever" as Speaker Hosten has declared, is now largely an academic
one. 1t makes little difference now whether it was or not. Nor could
a decision on the matter alter the fact that the Tenth Legislature did
enact some good legislation and did kill some that would have been
decidedly bad.
And it did this, moreover under the handicap OF a lot of political
and demagogc wirepuling that was the real cause of the burden of
reproach which has been heaped upon the body.
A lot OF credit for the good results accomplished belongs to a few
strong men III both houses. 1t was their work and watchfuness that in
the main outweighed the skilled demagogy OF Loun Andrews and the
drag of sluggish mentality on part OF a considerable proportion of the
members OF the lower chamber. To them is due the credit for the
blue sky law, the farm loan act, the purchase of the Irwin estate, in
crease in teachers pay, the fish hatchery bil-al measures which, if
not all that could be desired, are aimed in the right direction.
Nor should they be denied credit for killing the vicious amendment
TO the workmans compensation law, proposed and cunningly fought for
by Andrews measure that would have hamstrung one of the best
laws enacted in the territory in recent years.
Naturally there is much to be desired in the record, and the failure
of the foreign language schools bill, Of woman suffrage, OF reapporuon-
ment, and some others doesn't leave a good taste. But now that it is
over it is but proper that we should take such satisfaction as we may
from what we really did (and did mott get, and like Polly Anna, be
glad il wasn't a whole lot worse.

Politics AND Illicit BOOZE

1t is against the law to gae a drink OF liquor to another. A good
many persons do not seem to knOW this. But the law makes it as
much a crime to give away intoXicants as to make or to sell them. And
ii is also against the law simply to carry liquor from one place to an
other.
It may not be amss Just at this time, to call the attention of GER
tain politicians to these facts. Unless rumOrs are without any fOunda-
ton whatever, at least one or two OF the professional workers in the
local field, who have heretofore considered it a matter of duty to see
that the faithful voter was rewarded with at least a drink or two of

as to the probable truth of such rumors and will not be blind as election
