SHAME is OUTCOME.

She turned on him a wondering look
"a long, questioning gaze of wonder,
that made him vaguely uncomfortable.
When he left the store he found her
waiting. She was staring at a great
heap of pink and white marshmallows
pouring from a barrel in the window.
She sidled humbly toward him and
slipped her hand on his arm. Her
solemn eyes sought his and smiled.
He was overcome with shame, for
he perceived that II one had ever no.
ticcd her before. In this realization
his thoughtlcss act became mon
strOus cruelty. He had caused her to
come up and link her arm with
stranger, walk with him and smile.
He was convinced that she did not
know where her steps were heading.
And finding her eyes still fastened on
his with a half-wild pathos, he halted
abruptly. He said: Look here You
don't want TO do thing like this,
and swept off his hat leaving her, be-
wildered and with quivcring lips at the
corner.
He felt that he had committed a
crime. He had started her on this
path. Her large, sad eyes haunted
him.
Remorse for such wrong is but
goad to fresh exploit for sin thrives on
the tears OF repentance. Regretting
his villainy, the young man kept it
alive in his thoughts. He followed the
incident, filling in details. A sense
of power exhilarated him. Because
of a mere look a girl was willing to go
wherever he wished.
That was long ago. His sensitive
ness dulled as his adotness sharpened.
In this flceting intimacy of eyes
and hands he began to feel an exotic
pleasure; n subtle, cOlorful cnrichCn
ing in his contact with the world.
Women were content with this gent
~ contemptuous attitude. They were

'nant tears. She dared not
relax the grim set of her lips.
She thought as she had when
a child and the purple wis
taria shriveled and died:
"What a damn world! It's
a damn, damn world"
There was no use clinging to the
hope of beauty; no use dreaming oil
exalted friendships. Men wanted
nothing but this insipid filtration. She
had guilelessly impaired to him her
ideals; her dream of bright utopian
world where men and women were at
last full-statured; where they had
tossed away their little bags of tricks
and met each other freely in a noble
equality.
He answered with this warm, pro-
vocatiye look which said plainly:
Rave on, sweet innocent! Ivu
charming face offsets your foolish
tongue. Therefore 1 endure and dis
count it."
TOLD IN A LOOK.
He was not interested in her shin
ing ambition; her lofty scorns. Nora
Lee felt like child, who wishes to
remain up conversing with her elders,
but who is sent marching smarty to
bed.
Well-She didn't require attention
as Virginia did: she didn't hunger for
it like Sallie. Suddenly she remem-
bered how exhilarating his facile talk
had been; what an exquisite voice he
had; and that he had promised to in
troduce her TO his brilliant circle
where interesting people would rec
ognize her ungucssed talents.
The tears that had been singing
her lids crept to her lashcs. Maxwell
Reed noticed this. In the flashing sun
light their heavy fringe dropped visit
fully on her high checkbones like a
veil on the untamed, pathetic eager
ness of her profile. ..
He felt mean and irritated by the
stray impulse that had led him to
mock her young sincerity. She was
right. All the make-believe, all the
testing at love, had tracked this hor-
rible furrow in his mind so that be
could not look at n pretty woman
without wishing to enmesh her in this
light. subtle excitement. He had a
zest for this type Of adventure.
He remembered a night, years ear
lier, when he was about 20. 1t was in
a candy store. The girl who brought
his soda was an evasive mouse thing,
with large solemn eyes and a nebulous
chin. He felt sorry for so cipherlike
a creature. He smiled at her. She
gave no response. He redoubled his
gallantry, INVITING her in an affable
way. She remained mute. So when
she laid his check on the table he
squeezed her hand, patting it two or
three times.

 At the session of 1923 the policy was adopted by providing for the ac- quisition of land by condemnation pro ceedines. and in 1925 this policy was emphasized by again directing that condemnation proceedings be institut- ed. What two sessions of the general assembly directed to be done must be considered the settled policy of the state. At the same time the general assembly added Co the land which should be taken It is said that the matter may be brought to the federal courts on constitutional question That may cause delay but it is uot be- heyod that t will defeat the purpose to secure the land which the state says it needs Due regard will be given to The interests of the owners of the Me Cook estate. The members of the Me Coak family are public spirited and patriotic and they are held in the high est esteem. The unfortunate contro- Nersy over the matter has been painful Co everyone who sees the necessity of expanding the work of the commission and at the same time recognize what is due the MeCooks.

After More Pay


 Hartford. July 20 The state board of control is fairly inundated with a flood of applications for increase in salaries. Somehow the impression has been created. among those who are on the pay roll of the state. that the state Is in a generous mood to increase sal aries The origin of the impression is traeeable Co the action of the commit tee on appropriations at the last ses- sion in passing the buck Co the board of control to decide on the applications for an increase instead of attending te the matter itself. The law which was passed on the recommendation of the committee, has been, in its effect, a great disappointment Co the many em- pluyes of the state who had asked fnr an increase The bill as enacted diff fered in important particulars from expectations. l. took care Of heads Of departments and commissions and their departments but not of subordi- mates. The latter have many sympar thlaers among these who are not forta- nate enough to have the state for an employer
 The wonder is if the situation is pleasing to Governor Trumbull who has advocated. with sincerity and force, policy of economy and then some. The expenses of the state are advancing in leaps and bounds. Not withstanding the enormous revenue of the state the taxes were increased at the last session The tax on gasoline was doubled, and a new tax. that on moving pictures. was adopted. But She rural towns, nor any other towns for that matter. were not relieved of dollar of taxation. lt was expected chat the tux on towns would be re- dueed but t wasn't.
 The Governors Mansion
 l. needed but discussion of the matter t0 show how absurdiy riGicu- laus was the proposition ta nros..lt an executive mansion for the governor of the state lt Is the Journal Courier of New Haven that attaches the ,tig ma of social snohberg to it. Snohhary af any sifid Is offensive 10 the average American and it is peculiarly so when II relates Co social relations lt Is then that it means cheap and often vulgar +ttHtNtAN fN.ata HhhtNAhAAtA AttA+ At ANA+t#f AN= nugnant te everyone who has q sym pathetic appreciation of the things for which Americanism stands than snob- bery of all kinds. lt may be assumed from the unfriendly reception which the proposition received from all parts of the state that we have heard the last of it for the next twenty-five or thirty years.
 In the discussion a reference has been made to the salary of the gov ernor. with the suggestion that it should be increased, and one of the ar guments for the increase was that the governor should he the highest paid official in the state. IL is not so very many years since that a salary of S2,- 900 year was considered adequate for the chief executive of the state. At that time the chief justice of the state was paid s4.50o and his associates s4,- 900 year each. It was in the admin

 Hundreds of people came to the city to see the parade. This was not scheduled to start until l2 o'clock, but several hours before the announced time people were lining the sidewalks and many had children with them. The balloon and novelty salesmen, or fax frs. as they are called, were early on the scene. The parade was long one and seemed to please the waiting crowd.
 Soon after the show had left Putnam word was received that Harold Chlap- owsli of Dudley. Mass, was missing and was thought to have come 10 Put nam and left with the circus. This de- duction proved to be correct, for the thirteen-year old lad was located with the show in Westerly, R. l., and re- turned to his home. When he left the house he told his mother he was going berrying. When he did not return the alarm was given.
