The Sunrise That startled Madse


 Even as the screams tore from my throat, remembered with Don Quixotish reaction to my early Puri- tan training, that l had given my word to the leader of the bootlcgging gang to make no noise If he "ohld refrain from gagging me.
 The thought choked me for an ln- stant-made it impossible for me to utter another sound. although l tried to bolster up a more common sense view of the matter by the reflection that the threat which the man just had uttered. surely justified any broken promise on my part,
 With a swiftly drawn breath, ! turned toward the man who had sprung toward me at my scream but for some unaceountable reason had stonped, and was standing with a fascinated mortified gaze tiNed upon the masked doors behind which we could hear the secret elevator slowly ascending.
 Curiously enough my impulse was an apologetic one, although my req son savagely scored the impulse seemingly outside my own Nolition which murmured;
 "1 won't scream again. didn't mean to break my word to you"
 I expected swift stunning blow and the tumhling Of my inert body into the truck for hiding, but in- .tead the man whispered hosrsely without turning his gaze away from the doors:
 "I won't do anything to you, and I'll let you go. fl you say you're friend of mine, and was only scream ing for fun when he come in"
 Who is the Man?
 His utterance of the pronoun had eli the effect Of strongest emphasis and the panic he was fin testified to some unusual power upon the part Of the man who was ascending in the elevator. My heart began to travel upward from my boots. There was a chance that the unknown man before whose power this leader was craven, might have the mentality 10 see what consequences putting me out Of the way might have.
 l resolved to make no further promise, but on the other hand l would not make the man more des- perste than he was.
 If I can. will say what you wish" I said. but won't promise anything more"
 The doors swung slightly apart as finished, and instead Of n stranger, the figure of the driver of the truck appeared in the opening. His appear ance was greeted by volley Of pro- fanity from the leader. and a de- mand 10 know how he dared come up when hs had been told to stay downstairs.
 "Eecause His Nibs is downstairs asking for you" Ed replied, and the color which had come back to tho smaller mans face fled again.
 "The big" he began and stop ped with quick sidelong glance at me.
 "The same" the other man rec turned fiippan,ly with all the en- joyment a hullied man has in seeing his superior being obliged to submit 10 discipline. And wouldn't advise you 10 walt very long before stirring

FASHION sERyICE- PLENTY OF DASH

An enormous bow and long ends of black satin ribbon add a certain dash to what would regularly be only very simple frock of black chiffon, embroidered in white. It is worn over sheath slip of black satin and there is no extra fulness or trimming to mar the silhouette Paris approves of so thoroughly. Almost any straightline frock can be given a fes- tive touch by the clever use of sash or bow. and the ribbons of this season are so beautiful in themselves that they can make any costume.

 His hand pressed more tightly at her shoulders, and he looked mean ingly into her eyes. Into our tent" !" he corrected easily
 The girl shook her head; but her expression did not change, No. I renounce our marriage.

 At this point she paused, falter- ing: and for one brief instant she did not know the cause of the sudden wind of terror that blew through her being. closing her throat and choking back her brave words. In that in- stant 1van's attitude had changed. Outwardly there was little sign: pos- sibly certain lines deepened on his white face and his vivid eyes looked dull red. like glowing, dying coals, under his fine brows. X wan smile, determined rather than cruel, curled at his lips.

He vas shaking off the last vestiges of his conventionality as a dog shakes of water, and with it went the veneer that western civilizs- ton had bestowed upon him.

MINORITY. RULE

This country has suffered much
from the aggressive minority. One
finds 1t difncult to sympathizs keenly
with the unwieidly majority for per-
hitting itself to be led about by the
nose, yet indirectly all share in the
results.
There was LaFollette bossing the
United States Congress like the
verisst ring master Of old. Under the
primary law the bloc n often en-
dowed with power to nullify the
wishes Of the great majority. Under
the old Jacksonian rule, established
to ensure the choice Of his favorits.
Van Buren,, a. vics-President any
one IN o national Democratic conven-
ton who can command q third Of
the delegates has the veto power on
the convention.
This isn't popular government, by
any manner Of means. Here We have
been for the past several years Wild
ening the opportunity for the people
to rule with the result that indirectly
we have made It easier for the minor
ity to control. Meanwhile popular
interest in ruling has fallen of from
70 per cent. who voted in 1900 to less
than 80 per cent. who voted in 1920.

CHILD SLAVERY IN GEORGIA
WA shin OF nm. PnStl

"A dozen years ago, when the move
ment to abate the inhuman evils of
child labor was fairly organized, 1t
was automatically reported that
Georgia had not established even the
14-year age limit for employment in
factories; that it required no real
proof of age and that it had no de-
partment of government intrusted
with the enforcement of child labor
laws. In other words, it was one of
the most backward of the States.
According to the United States CEN
sus, in 1920 Georgia had a much
larger number of boys from 10 to Is
years old working for wages than
any other State, and was only slight
ly surpassed by only one other State
in the number of girls thus employ
ed. Thus in Georgia about q per
cent of such boys of tender years
were at work and more than IA per
cent Of the girls; while in New York
the percentages were only about SIS
and 81 respectively. In Atlanta
there were more boys employed than
in Pittsburgh, though Pittsburgh had
more than three times the boy popu-
lation of Atlanta.
