THE EVENING STORY

one good enough for Eliza to marry,
Mrs. Bruce declared, and she had sue
ceeded in soaring away every admirer.
Mrs. Bruce found her daughter useful
and wished to keep her for herself,
but in the case of Mr.. Dare--a million
wax crosses couldn't make up for the
disappointment Of not seeing him
again.
"Well, Eliza" Miss Bellew said, sit 8
about time something happened to
that wax cross. Your mother Is max.
ing a bugbear of it. She's going to
let it spoil your life. I wish I could
get into that parlor Of yours unused
Miss Bellew. I'D finish that fetish
and set you free"
Eliza felt shameful thrill of re-
Spouse. At that moment she knew
her mother was unpacking her trunk
, and hanging things back in the clos
| cts. The visit was not to be made.
| Aunt Julia would be angry. Probably
she would never again ask them.
And Mr.. Dare-well, maybe it was all
| for the best. Over and over this
| thought turned in her mind, but she
| failed to find comfort in the thought.
| 1t was not all for the best-to lose the
chance of 1ifetime's happiness. She
| knew that Mr.. Dare was interested
| in her and-she loved him for his gen.
| tleness, his kindness, his courtesy.
She had never known anybody like
him. And she was to lose him because
| of the wax cross.

Bellew was saying when the door

bareheaded, wildly agitated.
1.-THE houses afire!' she cried. Run
to the telephone! Turn in an Alarm
The telephone was upon the small
table at Miss Bellows elbow. She
turned in the alarm while Eliza and
her mother raced homeward.
The changing Of the chemical engine
resounded in the wintry street. After
it came the rest of the fire apparatus.
Gallant men strobe into that august
dwelling where even the Bruces' near

softly, If indeed they trod at all. There

of a hose.
Threatening though 1t was, 1t proved
to be only chimney fire caused by
| the blaze Eliza had started in the un-
used parlor fireplace. and 1t was soon
out. The firemen departed, and Mrs.
Bruce, following the trail of feet on
her precious carpets, sought the par
lor. With gasp of dismay. she be-
held the SCOT on the shining hearth.
A chair was overturned, the glass
globe of the famous cross broken.
And the cross itself-Eliza, following
her mother, turned pale when she saw
the delicate fragments lying there be-
| fore them.
I'm sorry" Eliza began breath
lessly. She looked at her mother with
apprehension, wondering how to read

Eliza could not answer. She was on

in box and put the box in a place
where 1t should not be disturbed.

@ WIN DIPLOMAS
AT BUSINESS HIGH
2ates Urges Students to
Continue Education in
Closing Address.

Ninety-two graduates of Business
High School were urged to carry
on" with their studies at the com
mencement exercises of the four
| year class last night by Charles ii.
| Bates, attorney, who was the speak
err of the evening.
DO not give up your pursuit or
education for year, promising your
self you will continue after that
| period. If you do you will destroy
the habit for study which you have
gained during your school years and
probably never pick 1t ups again, y
Mr. Bates admonished the graduates.
Lauds Early Educators.
Mr.. Bates told the graduates he
was a member of the now famous
class of SO of the Washington High
| School and that their principal,
| Allan Davis, was one of his class
mates. He declared that he was
happy to see that the school spirit
| Of 1927 is of the same sincere,
healthy character as that Of 1886
and paid tribute to the late Edward
A. Paul, former principal of Central
High School. and other educators of
| the early high school period in
Washington.
"You will make mistakes" Mr..
Bates reminded the graduates. but
| il so do not feel lost. You viii gain
experience through your errors. In
fact, you should charge your mis-
takes in one column and the benefit
you gain through experience in the
othef."
The speaker emphasized the neces-
sity for imagination and esthetlcism
throughout life. He said both were
as essential as practical doctrines
and certainly not to be neglected.

AN UNJUST
 ATTACK REFUTED

Harpers Magazine for Aug Ist contained an article by Reyes Winter, assistant attor- ney-general of New York state, entitled Fools and Their Mon- ey.' It discussed the subject of questionable promotions, detailed some of the dodges used to manipulate market quotations, and made the bald assertion that ''the present fashion in frauds is mines."
 In subsequent correspond ence with the editor of Mining Truth, Mr. Winter points out hat there have been published perhaps fifty periodicals sim lar to that of George Graham Rice" and adds "The problem )I preventing the issue of fraudulent mining stocks is a terious one on account of the difficulty of obtaining evil dence as to the conditions of ;hese distant mines"

WHAT'S A TOWN
 WITHOUT A NEWSPAPER

Nobody knows just how many weekly newspapers there are in the United States. Probably there are in the neighborhood of 10,500 weekly publications that can legitimately be called newspapers. A large percent age are published in one-paper towns.
 Consider, then, what those towns would be without thei1 newspapers. What is the ag- gregate worth to the nation ot those papers?
 Are any other newspapers o1 publications appreciably inter- ested in the future of these towns? Will other papers take a stand for the betterment ot 5hese communities, for town or rural cooperation. and devel, opment, for community better ment, for the growth of busi- ness and new enterprises?
 Can the grocers, the hard ware merchants, the bankers the dry goods dealers, the clothiers or the other retail merchants get along without heir community newspaper?
 The home newspaper is the mouthpiece of the community. Through it the town makes its bid for recognition. It is one of the towns best assets. Every day weekly newspapers are doing their best for their com. munities.
 What would your town be without a newspaper?-The American Press.
