Now, Jean, you shouldn't feel

voice broke a little. "Oh, Tom,
it's easy for you to be strong, to
force yourself away from me.
You'll think that I'm a weakling,
but I can't help 1t.
IN TWO YEARS
Tom put his arm around her
shoulder, speaking into her hair.
The desert is no place for you; a
girl who has had nothing but the
best all her life. And I intend to
keep right on giving it to YOU,
some day. Don't you see, Honey,
that's why I'm doing this?
while we're missing all the
things that count. I won't mind
the hardshipS, having to do with
out all those meaningless doodadS
my parents brought me up with.
I don't want them. Tom. I want
you. Take me with you"
Sam saw that Tom was relent-

burden of his love- But he stiffened

he protested. mot after the way
your father spoke to me.
He was only talking because he

what we said: no tears, just a

Put this bag on the train" he
directed. Sam picked up the grip,
turning his back on their last, un-
happy kiss.
SANS INSPIRATION
Money is pow'ful evil, which
ever way it gets hold of you" Sam
observed as he trudged to the
train. "Ef'n you gets too much,
it poisons you. Elm not enough,
like me, it keeps you from goin'
back home, whereat I belong. Yes,
yes, it's bad all round"
Tom was right behind him as he
boarded the train. He put the
bag away, took his tip and left
without a word.
Jean was leaning against the
fence, her hands tightly clutching
the bars. Her anguish wrenched

two bills, two fifties, and waved
them in front Of Sans nose
Here, maybe this will make you
move. You can still stop it while
they're waiting at that signal.
The gateman will let you through"
The train had stopped at the
end of the platform while the en-
gineer waited for the signals to
clear for him. In that minute,
Sam knew that he could be
through the gate, down to the end
Of the platform and have the en-
gineer stop. The hundred dollars
were tantalizingly close to his
bullying eye. 1t was simple 70 do
what the stout man wished.
A hundred dollars would pay
his fare home, buy him that Sun
day suit he wanted and might still
leave enough to get himself a few
acres of land.

past his Indifferent ears.

told him. "Ef'n you is got the

I reckon I was mistook. The Lawd

after all, an I'm amin to stay

to push the money into Sans

ONCE UPON JULY 18th


The blacklist page in the history of
New York City was written, Is years
ago today.
The city had mayor, Fernando
Wood, who was Confederate sympa-
lhizer Already, in 1861, he had gone
so far as to sugugest, in a message
% the common council that the city
;ecede from the State and nation and
iorm an independent government #
it's own, like the free cities of medi-
oval Europe. Pacifists cried out
against the war without hindrance,
and exhorted the people to stand firm
ly in opposition to "the unsurpations
of the government" Tammany poll
ticians, who had no love for Lincoln
openly opposed the draft Lincoln had
counselled it's readers to provide them
selves with a musket, to resist the
draft.
1t is not surprising, then, that when
federal authorities finally sought to
enforce the draft law in New York,
where recruiting was far behind 9TH
er northern States, there was trouble.
A crowd that had cut telegraph wires
leading out of the city, attacked the
draft boards headquarters, wrecked
the interior, set fire to the building
and prevented firemen from extin-
gushing it. Police who tried to as
sist the firemen were overpowered
and disarmed. Hoodlums immediate
ly began to roam the streets, looting
and wrecking. More than fifty stores
were set afire. The colonel of a regi-
ment of volunteers, sent to restore
order, was lynched.
On the third day of the reign of
terror, the board of aldermen fran
tically convened and voted $2,5OO,OOO
for relief for families of those who
might be drafted for compulsory ar

BOSTON, Nov. 5.-The CONNER
cial Bulletin today says:
"The wool market has developed
a stronger tone and prices are show
ing disposition to advance further.
Interest is keener in all divisions of
the trade, which reflects consider
able improvement in the market
for piece goods. Spinners and comb
ers are feeling the reflection of
this improvement, also.
I'm the West, there has been less
activity reported this week, due
chiefly to the fact that the holders
of wool have advanced their asking
prices generally. Stocks of wool,
moreover, show poorer selections,
with clean costs landed Boston up
to or possibly above the level of
Eastern values.
Foreign markets keep firm gener-
ally and Australia is a bit against

markets.
