EXPRESSED WILL or PEOPLE
"First American Constitution" Grew
Out of Feeling of .Dissatisfac-
tion With Conditions.

The term "First American ConSti-
tuition is frequently applied by
writer's to what is better known his
torically. as the Fundamental Orders
of Connecticut" Many people in
Massachusetts having become dissatis-
fed with law that none but church
members should vote or hold office,
at length determined to form other
settlements. Other town organiZa-
lions migrated almost bodily from
Massachusetts to what was then the
wilderness. These were Newton,
Watertown and Dorchester, which had
their names changed, respectively, to
Hartford, Wethersfeld and Windsor.
Along with them went their govern
ing organizations and a general court
for the three towns was afterward
formed.
Jan. IA, 1859, this little community
formed the. first written American
Constitution at Hartford. This Con-
stitution springs directly from the
will Of the people, and neither Eng
lish king nor parliament, nor Colonial
council, nor governor had anything to
do with 1t. The orders provided for
two general representative assemblies
each year. composed of delegates
from each town, one for the election
Of governor and magistrates, the other
for making the laws. These funda-
mental orders as they were called,
were the beginnings OF democratic
government In America.

"Damn'd if don't believe you
would"
"You know how to find out"
He knew. He slowly raised his
hands, The expression in his eyes
might have meant any number OF
things first of all, that he bowed to
necessity second, that he would come
again. .Astonished, mortified, baffled---
that, most of all baffled-he doubtless
salved his pride with that second
thought: He would come again. The
girl sensed something of what smol-
dered deep in the bold eyes-eyes that
good woman could hardly meet with
out dishonor. But there were plans
afoot--and she trusted them.
Listen! I'll give you tine to get
out of sight, if you walk fast. II you
look back, or IL you are in sight when
/ think the time is up, I'll shoot; ana
I'll hit what shoot at"
He studied the eyes back of the re-
vclver. What he saw whirled him
around. his hands still up, and started
hin, back down the path. The farther
he went the faster he went. In less
time than she had thought, he had
passed the turn and disappeared. !
She closed the fdoor, laid the revol-
yer on the table beside the sewing bas-
ket, crossed the room to the sofa. The

of ten these decorations are in the
same color as the suit, but there are
exceptions to all rules, and the new
suits present models with contrast
ing color or black used with the match
ing color. There are occasional models
in which short coats are deliberately
embroidered with many colors.
Two representative suits, each en-
bellished with embroidery, are shown
in the picture above. The model at
the left having points that pronounce
it up to date, in the fastening Of the
coat at the waist line only, and in the
bell sleeves. Blouses and handsome
neckwear are much in evidence in
coats of this kind The skirt may be
taken as a criterion in length and
width, and every other particular, in
Guiding tailoring that must be de-
scribed as exquisite.
In the suit Of beige-c0lored poiret
twill at the right, the straight-line
coat invites attention to elaborate en-
broidery across the back. Small en-
broidered motifs at each side the front
also help to enrich 1t.

the little pocket of level woods where
the cabin stood. He saw her stop

she stood guard.
"Ask him about the hunt today" ne
whispered. sand above all, ask him

She nodded and pulled the curtiins
close. The next moment she had
opened the door
"Well, Billy Glad to see yau. Come

The girl closed the door, put an arm

things that will tone up the plainest

The quest has reached the acute stage

She moved the table back by the
window, re-arranged the work basket
and vase Of roses, ard went to the
kitchen with the tray. He opened his
eyes the minute she was gone. 1t was
farthest from his thoughts to spend
another moment of that wonderful day
in sleep. His great regret was that
ne had already spent so much Of it
that way. Whatever was to happen,

Pearlhunter had come out from behind
the curtains, admiration running riot
in his eyes.

She looked up at him, tried to smile
the smile was a failure. Her lips
quivered; her eyes fell. To the Pearl
hunters amazement she dropped down
on the sofa and burst into tears. He
stood shifting from one foot TO the
other, puzzled and helpless. 1t was
beyond him. He sat down beside her,
reached forth his one free hand and
laid 1t upon her hair.
"Why-don't cryI It's-all over
now!''
He frowned in an effort to think of
something else to say. But all he could
think of was:' "Don't cry" and that
didn't seem to do any good. He was
thinking some very uncomplimentary
things about his clumsy and awkward
self, when she looked up. The man
stared. She was laughing-a nervous
little laugh right through the tears.
The laugh astonished him more than
the tears, bur it was an immense re-
lief to him, just the same.

"Only that they might find you. Why

He rose from the sofa. Hat he had
none-it was tramped to rags in the
dust and dirt Of the village under the
wide reaching limbs Of the oak-but
he began hitching together the strips
and tatters of his blouse.
The girl sprang up and faced him.

"Can you stand more camphor" she
asked.
''Tll swim in it, if it will get me up"
The girl laughed, moistened the cot
Ton and laid it On the wound. He did
not even vince. The sting of 1t had
become to him necessity, the CRATE
full means to an end that must be ac-
complished. Without tonight there
could be no tomorrow. She saturated
more of the cotton, laid it on the cash
and bandaged it there, drew the blouse
back into place, smoothed the pillow
under bis head and went to the
kitchen.
He heard the rattle of the stove, and
knew that she was preparing him
something to eat 1t moved him, for
he knew how pitiful little that kitchen
held, and get she was going to share
it with him-the best OF it-share 1t
With smile, and the grace of prin-
cess. He Swore to himself that there
should be food in that kitchen tomor-
row.
She was back in surprisingly short
time, bearing tray of such food as
she bad been able to prepare hastily
some lroth, crisp toast, poached egg,
and black coffee.
He was sound asleep.
She tiptoed back to the kitchen, set
the tray on the stove hearth where 1T
would keep warm, re-entered the room,
drew a chair up beside the sofa, and
kept the buzzing flies away from his
face while he slept.
Noon came and passed. Several
times she went to the kitchen to mend
the fire and keep the tray warm; many
time she slipped from window TO
window. and listened at the doors for
sound of the hunters that somewhere
combed the woods. The shadows
turned eastward and still the man
slept The day had worn away to mid
afternoon when he tossed restlessly
and flung his right arm above his head.
The movement seemed to provoke the
hurt. He came awake-with the quick
intuition of the woodsman knew he
had slept long. He started to rise.
She sprang up and laid her hand on
his shoulder.
But 1 mustn't impose on you like
this" he protested.
Didn't you say little bit ago that
l was the doctor?"
That dry smile that always started
in his eyes first, crawled out across
his face.
"Then I command you to stay right
where you are" she answered to the
slow smile, as she hurried out to the
kitchen and carried in the tray.
She sat down beside him on the
couch, fixed his arm essy in the sling,
put sugar in the black coffee, and even
buttered his toast. The Pearlhunter
had never lived In such luxury. 1t
was a dream-like some Of the stories
of fairies and encharted palaces his
mother used to tel of years ago In the
long winter evenings on the house
boat. He half feared that he might
not really be awake; that, after all, it
might turn out to be some trick, like
that of the gorge that closed.
She rose, pushed away-the table and
helped him back upon the couch.
TRY to Sleep" she said, while
smoothing the pillow under his head
"and gain every bit Of strength you
can, if you must go tonight"
Her manner seemed not to invite a
reply-rather seemed to forbid one.
He closed his eyes and settled himself
