whimsically.
i've been so worried about you.
I was here yesterday. Dane was
with me. He had to go back to New
York last night. but he'll be back
tomorrow. Mabel made q great fuss
about going down alone. / think
she's setting her cap for Dane"
Geraldine's careless words awoke
a little pain in Anne's heart. Dane
had not spoken to Geraldine, then.
Anne had been so sure he had. In
her heart of hearts she would have
preferred to tell Geraldine herself.
but somehow there seemed some
thing ominous about his silence.
Perhaps. after all. 1t had been the
moonlight the night before. the

the air of romance about every
thing. Perhaps he had not meant
anything he had said, perhaps he
had regretted in the cold, SOBER light

hold OF both of them Anne thought
of Mabel Hill, perfect. cold, beauti-
fully gowned. exquisitely poised and
far removed from any s~ordidness.
She was. after all. the woman for
a man like Dane, an older woman
with all of life's mystery about her;
moi a girl IMMERSED in the ways OF
the world.
G~eraldine's voice came to Anne
from a great distance. She wanted
to know about everything. and Anne
told her.
Geraldine laughed gieefully.

Anne, 1 want you to come to me

den refusal was fiat and cold. II

Geraldine stared at her. Was this

CHAPTER XVII

OfiAI I'm 0LNll
Anne and her father stood facing
each other a few seconds. and then
Anne turned and without a word
left the room. She walked with
trembling limbs up the stairs. went
into her room and closed the door.
Then, remembering the key. she
went to the door again, hesitated a
moment and then went downstairs.
Her father had dropped into a
chair by the table, he stared at her
as she came In.
"rd like the key to my room,
please" she said coldly. 1t seemed
strange to demand anything in that
fashion from her father when she
had always cringed away from him.
He waited a moment. and then
rose to his feet and stood over her.
Anne thought he was going to strike
her, but she did not o away. She
only raised her face and looked at
him CONTEMPORARY. and then held
out her hand.
With q muttered imprecation he
handed the key TO her. and she went
out of the room with it. The key
cold in her palm was like her first
step OF freedom; it strangely gave
her confidence in herself. When she
had locked herself in her room and
was at last in bed, she dropped
asleep with a strange little smile on
her lips. She was not happy, but
for the time she was content.
She was up at the usual time the
next morning and got breakfast for
her father. When he finally came
down to the kitchen and found her
flying around he looked at her Curl
,ously as though he had expected to
md her gone. Over the fragrant
clouds Of bacon smoke Anne a
good morning civily, and the next
moment she was serving him with
hot coffee and mullins and bacon
and eggs.
When he was ready to leave he
hesitated as though he were going
to say something to her. but decid-
ing not to-, he went out slamming
the door behind him.
That morning Anne threw open
all the shutters Of the darkened
rooms and let in the summer sun
for the first time. At loon h fixed
a light lunch for herself and ate 1t
daintily from a corner Of the din
ing-room table, and then the long
ing was upon her to go to Geral-
dimes. She was free to go now. n
yet she did not want to. she could
not, and she tried to puzzle u the
reason. At last she knew. The
Anne who had gone every day to the
Carpenter house was not the Anne
that had been born last night. the
new Anne who had had the strength
to defy her father. This new Anne
could not accept favots from any
one, this Anne had pride. 1t was as
though she saw herself plainly for
the first time and realized just how
much Geraldine had given her.
She was not surprised though
when about 4 o'clock she heard the
sound of a car stopping ou in front.
and with a hasty glance at herself
in the mirror she new TO the door.
The next minute she was in Geral-
dimes arms and they were both

Until Geraldine Carpenter took
up Anne Carter and brought the girl
in contact with some Of the beauti-
full things in life, Anne had really
never had anything. She wasn't
happy. even then, for going to Ger
aldine's meant stealing away In the
afternoon for a few hours without
letting her father know. but her life
was SO sordid that she grew to de-
pend on this little bit of happiness
every day. At Geraldine's she met
Dane Grey. the writer. and had a
chance to contrast him with Bill
Snyder. the man her father had
chosen for her to marry and whom
she hated. When. Dane Grey finally

told her of 1t. II happened on the
very evening Anne had told her
father the truth about where she
spent her time. and as q result she
was locked in her room. Then Jim
Carter told his daughter that she

SiQmitlcQnce Of Life

, We do not know what the present year
shall bring to us, whether it shall be filled with
sweet fulhlments and those things that color
life in bright, cheerful tones, or whether it
shall bring only (disappointments and gray
clouds. For many of US the next IL months
will be mixture Of joy and grief brightness
and sadness, Of disappointments and realiza-
'tions But it takes just such combinations to
make us understand something Of the signif-
canoe of life We learn to appreciate our bless
-ings when they taxi. their flight more than at
any. other time, and the knowledge that the
brilliancy of life's sun must be tempered by
shadows helps us to make the most of the sunny
days: We cannot expect to experience. only
the brightness of life during the year that is
just beginning to exist; the gray days must
come and the clouds, gather. sometimes with
little warning, but such conditions are not typ-
cal Of any one life. There is always a little
sunshine. just behind the clouds to be shared
by all alike, notwithstanding the fact that for a
while at least it does not seem to be- evenly
divided. The longer we live the harder our
problems are likely to become, and the anxieties
of one year run over into other years and often
create new conditions to be taken into eonsid-

Robert Edwin Peary.

Another of Americas truly great men has
gone on leaving behind him a record of sc-
complishment that will endure. The simple
statement that Robert Edwin Peary, who has
just died, was first to reach the North pole, to
stand at the very top of the world does not
suggest the tremendous effort and sacrifice in
volyed. Yet it does contain sthe truth that will
keep the name of Peary alive while men inhabit
the globe and study its composition.
The controversy springing from the false
claims made by Dr. Frederick A. Cook threw
shadow over Peary's achievement, but he
emerged from that well and thoroughly vim
dicated, although the enthusiasm that would
have attended his announcement ordinarily was
diminished by the bitterness of the contest
Those who championed Peary have been up
lifted and those who accepted the Cook claims
have been confounded by later events. Ste
lfansson, the most persistent and painstaking
of all Arctic explores although not seeking
the pole itself, has corroborated many details
and corrected some of the Peary observations
while quietly announcing certain facts that
prove Cook to have made many untrue state
ments, some of them mistakes he could not
haye made had he been anywhere near the loca
tons he undertook to describe.
Peary's achievement, spectacular as it was,
did not contain the elements Of tragedy that
distinguished the rival dash of Ahmundsen and
Scott for the South pole. In fact, nothing in
all the history of such ventures quite compares
with the story of Robert Falcon Scott and his
companions. In the quiet life of his closing
years, Admiral Peary had all the satisfaction
Of knowing that his work was recognized, his
fontributions to science appraised as we'll as
they might be under existing conditions, and
with full honor and credit he went along to
join glorious company Of pioneers and ad-
venturers in "that undiscovered country from
whose bourne no traveller returns"

MISTAKEN LABOR POLICY.

Opposition to the pending railroad law be.
cause it guarantees return to capital invested
is shortsighted. The policy may not be the
wisest, but the eypedient has been adopted as
a measure of justice to thu owners of the soads
In effect it makes sure that each dollar Of rail-
road capital shall have its wages, not at the
current rate of pay, but at figure that does
not include either extravaganza or starvation.
When private Concerns are borrowing at per
cent and selling stockton q basis of s to ? per
cent it does not seem unreasonable that capt.
tai employed in the most important OF our
great national industries should be assured a
return of 5K per cent.
The first big problem for the owners of the
roads is to secure money whereby to pay for
improvements, extensions and bettermehts; to
restore the -wornout rails and box cars, to renew
engines and other equipment, and to carry on
the business This money will not be forth
coming unless it is made plain to the investor
that SOME return is certain A dollar can not
be made to work, any more than a'man, in fact
not so easily. And If capital strikes against the
railroads, the result will be as serious as if the
brotherhoods should quit.

organized and unorganized, are part. Immense
sums OF money so engaged are obtained
through various 6duciary institutions, savings
banks, insurance companies and the like, in
which the savings of the workers are placed to
earn the wages of money, which is the interest.
Money must work. and it will 90 where condi-

a time that capital employed in the industry
has fair wages, the same as the men.
Labor's leaders, having espoused the cause
of governwert ownership, may be expected>to
press their case with all zeal, but they are
making a mistake when they resort to such
superficial methods as are employed in the
present instance.
