DO you love me? Are you

There was an uninteIligible
sound from my husbands lips,
but with it he drew me close,
close within his arms, apparently
without waking. He had an
swered me. Whether Hal loved
me or not, | was a part OF him.
A bigger thing had come to me
than even love. To be the wo-
man man loved might mean
great bliss for a day or a week
or year, but to be the woman
a man married meant ''for better

was not very strong. His ath-

condition. His health precludetl
great exertion. He could only do
one thing at time. He did this
when he was courting me. He
gave himself up entirely to me
and think now that was the
reason he lost his position in my
home town. After our honey

Marshall. She was more like the
women and girls / had known IN
my own home than any l Aau
met after my marriage. There
was about her a certain myster-

afterward was made up OF vari-
able moods. At times she was
hard as nails, and at timo as
tender and sweet as it was pos
sible for a woman to be. She
was very cyniial and always
envied her worldly wisdom.
Hal grew better the moment
he knew that she was there, and
he insisted that we both should
come up and sit beside his bed

COMMENT over
WEST VIRGINIA
A CIRCLE
from The Charleston Gazette

(From The Charleston Gazette)
The suggestion made by State Tax
Commissioner Walter S. Hallanan,
relative to the separation Of the pro
hibition department from the tax
commissioners Office, will have both
its proponents and its opponents.
Logically the enforcement Of prohib
ition has nothing in common with
the revenue department of the
state, yet any opposition to the Hal,
lanan plan will probably be due TO
an inclination to create no new de-
partments 1t Is question, however,
which should be given very serious
consideration by the Legislature.
Frankly, however, It does seem bit
homogeneous that both the federal
and state governments should have
to maintain expensive bureaus for
the enforcement of an act 1t seems
that the enforcement should be the
duty OF the civil authorities. The
retort to this is that the civil au-
thorities will NOT enforce the law.
If this is the case, then the laws
must be unpopular II they are, then
enforcing them will each year be a
growing burden on the people in the
form of bureaus OF enforcement
Thus. we have a circle. 1t is prob
lem which is by no means easy OF
solution But, we repeat, that the
Hallanan suggestion is one deserv
ing serious consideration.
