He was smiling broadly when

The Rhymins
Optimist
BY ALINE MICHAELIS
The Key

BY ALINE MICHAELIS
The Key
I found a key upon the street,
Kicked here and there by pass
ing feet;
And as I picked it up, I knew
A thrill of wonder running
through
My veins. Upon my palm it lay
In the clear light of cloudess
day,
And yet its moonlight magic
made
Me half aflutter, half afraid.
To what strange chamber did it
lead?
What rooms of opulence or
need?
The dwelling-place Of youth or
age,
And what the scenes that life
might stage.
What poignant passion of re-
gret,
What bliss the heart could not
forget
In that apartment which for
me
Must open. when I turned the
key?
I carried it for many years,
It told me tales Of smiles and
tears,
OF youth untarnished by earth's
strain,
OF age, grown wise through sin
and pain;
It limited how like destiny
Might be the turning of a key.
It never opened any door;
Yet showed me lives, score after
score!

CHAPTER x
The rooms behind the hard
ware, store looked dirtier and
drearier than ever in the cold
hard daylight when Sharlie fol-
lowed her new husband into
them that afternoon at five.
welcome home!" said Eddie
with his cheerful grin, setting
her two suitcases and her hat
box down in the middle Of the
sitting room.
Welcome home! Sharlie's
delicate nostrils shifted the
stale air laden with the smell
Of cold ashes and mildew and
tobacco.
Her eyes went around the
room. It was the worst-looking
place she ever had seen, she
told herself hopeleSsly.
I'll go and break the good
news to my dad while you get
your bags unpacked," Eddie
said to her. The grin had
faded from his face and he
was studying her with anxious,
wistful eyes.
"This isn't a very swell
home to bring you to, Babe"
he told her. But now that
you're here you can fix it up
maybe. I wish we could have
gone to a hotel for a day or
two. We could have if I
hadn't blown in all my money
last night"
Sharlie watched the slow,
painful flush that covered his
face as he talked. It came to
her suddenly that he was
ashamed of these untidy, musty
rooms, and she felt Ssorry for
him.
After all it wasn't his fault
that Dodie had made the pair
Of them get married and come
here to live.
Eddie, this Is like some
awful joke that's been played
on us, isn't it?" she asked as
she followed him into his bed
room. Their bedroom now.
He dropped the bags on the
floor and, turning. took her
quickly into his arms.
Not a Bad Joke
"Whv. mol" he said. and she
could tell that he meant it.
''It'S not an awful joke at all.
It's the best thing that ever
happened. That's how I look
at it. We would probably have
been married sooner or later
anyway"
But Sharlie shook her head
and pushed him away from
her. The smell of cigarettes
that always had hung about
him, Intoxicating her, was sud-
denly sickening to her. 1T was
just part of the stale, musty
smell of this place where he
lived.
How am I going to stay
here?" she asked herself when
he had left her alone while he
went to break the news of the
wedding to his father.
She couldn't make herself
believe that she really was go
ing to spend the night in this
place. She couldn't even bring
herself to unpack her bags and
put her clothing away in the
golden-oak dresser with it's bare
and dusty top.
She was sitting on the edge
of the bed with her yellow felt
hat on when Eddie came back
into the room bringing his
father with him.
Mr.. Wallis made her think of

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I have been going with a girl
of 10, who never refuses me a
date, but always brags about
fictitious dates that I know she
never had. She likes to impress
me with the wild parties she at
tends, and acts as if she is doing
me a favor in going out with me,
and is extravagantly nice to
other fellows when I am pres
ent. Is it that don't under
stand her, or is she just a frivol-
Gus type of girl? PUZZLED.
I wouldn't say frivolous ex-
actly. Would-be vamp more
nearly expresses her type. A
good many really circumSpect
young ladies are like this one,
and try to paint their innocent
young lives more scarlet than
their lipsticks. It's just an
amiable pose. Don't take it too
seriously.

Advice to the
LoveIorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
His Experience Unusual

HIS EAHCkACAACC OMuSuNA
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I have been married, and
also have had plenty of ex-
perience since our ship Of matri-
mony went on the rocks. I
have never cheated wife or
sweetheart, because I believe
in loyalty, and am naturally
honest; but unfortunately I
have never been able to find a
woman who could be depended
upon. Is there such a thing
as a woman, good enough look
ing to be admired by other
men, who could be true to one?
If there is such a woman, and
she isn't old, fat or ugly, and
who would be capable Of fidel-
ity in return for love and kind
ness, I'd like to. meet her. But
is such a woman alive? am
afraid to take another chance,
although there is nothing I
want so much as a wife and a
home. But my wife must be
loyal. DISCOURAGED.
can't imagine where you've
been keeping yourself, my dear
man, that your acquaintance
with women has proved so uni
versally unfortunate. It seems
to me, after many years Of ex-
perience in running this col
umn, and reading thousands Of
letters, that it's the other way
around-that women more than
men have a monopoly of the
fireside virtues. I hope, how
ever, that, because your ac-
quaintance seems to have been
limited to feminine gooseber-
ries, you do not imagine, way
down deep, that there are not
plenty Of peaches and pippins
in the orchard.

The statement by Green came after
officials of the National League Of
women voters. the woman's party and
other prominent women had joined in
praising the selection of Miss Frances
Perkins for the labor post.
Green said that labor has con-
sistently contended that the depart
ment Of labor should be what its
name implies and that the secretary
Of labor should be representative Of
labor, one who understands labor. la
boris problems, labor's psychology,
collective bargaining, industrial re-
lations and one who enjoys the con-
fidence Of labor.
I'm the opinion Of labor the newly
appointed secretary Of labor does not
meet these qualifications. Labor can
never become reconciled to the selec-
ton made"

LANCER Asks $500
From Bank Of n. ID.

saved approximately $1,000 for the
Bank Of North Dakota.
After their return to Bismarck,
LANCER is said to have approached
Koffel with a bill for $500 and a re-
quest that he present 1t to G. r.
Green, then manager Of the bank.
Green discussed the matter with
Shafer, still attorney general, and
was told to allow LANCER only wit
ness fees. The representation that
he was an attorney in the case was
rejected.
Then Koffel died ana LANCER re-
newed his effort to collect, present.
ing bill to the administrator Of the
Koffel estate on the contention that
he had assisted Koffel in the suit. On
Skaters advice the bill, presented to
the Bank Of North Dakota jointly In
behalf Of LANCER and the Koffel es-
tate, again was rejected.
Renews Effort In 1882
The next chapter of the effort to
collect, so far as can be learned by
competent testimony, came in 1882
shortly after the fall election.
LANCER had been victorious as q
candidate for governor and was to
take office in January. Col. G. F..
Mudgett did not expect to be retained
as manager Of the Bank Of North Da-
kota and was surprised when B. e.
Jones, local I. v. A. politician, ap-
preached him as an emiSsary Of Lam
ger and inquired II he would consider
remaining as manager Of the bank in
the new administration.
Mudgett said he would do so pro-
vided certain things were definitely
understood.
Shortly thereafter LANCER ap-
preached Mudgett and told him of his
claim against the bank. It wouldn't
look right for him to collect 1t as
governor and q member Of the in
dustrial commission, he said, so would
Mudgett settle his claim Of $500 for
$500.
Mudgett didn't know anything
about 1t and inquired Of shafer re-
garding the case.
Authentic report has 1t that Shafer
hit the ceiling" and told Mudgett
that LANCER had appeared In the Pike
suit only Is witness and was not
entitled to any more than any other |
witness. Payment was not made.
There the matter rests. So far IS
Is known, LANCER has not presented |
the claim to the new management of |

commission.
