CHAPTER XI.

CHAPTER XI.
Mary heard Kit coming back up
the stairs very quietly, but his
shadow stopped at the first of her
long windows and did rot pass
I'm awake" she said honestly,
I'm sorry. I heard everything.
Can I come in for a minute,
Mary?"
Yes" she said.
He walked in across the long
shaft of moonlight across the floor
and sat on the end of her bed
I'm sorry you heard. 1t was rather
narrowing"
Il know. I'm sorry for her"
What a mess" he sighed, "her
loving me, me loving you, and you
loving Charles"
Il don't love Charles" said Mary
emphatically, II love-I mean I
don't love any one"
He sat a long time without
speaking, a dark shadow blocking
out the gentle moonlight. He said
at last, I'm not an egotist, Mary
and / see no particular reason why
you should admire me. But I'm not
blind. Sometimes I've seen some
thing in your eyes. I mean if you
care for me the least little bit, be
merciful and tell me So"
IF 1 did, what would be the
good"
He turned to her hopefully, ut
would be something to carry me
through all thiS-something to live
on afterward'
A Promise Intervenes.
II know, Kit. That's how I feel
myself about it,"
Then you do love me little,
Mary?"
mo, Kit. I love you terribly
with all my heart-and all my soul
and all my body"
He felt for her hand lying in his
shadow on the coverlet and pressed
it violently to his lips. "Oh, Mary"
he sighted, thank God. How I've
suffered living so close to you, not
able to touch you, not able to tell
you. With all this ahead of me-
Now I can bear it."
She pulled herself up and leaned
to him and they kissed again, long
desperate, unhappy-but exquisitely

BRITISH WAR LOSSES

One OF the principal matters of in
terest just now is the extent of British war
losses and the effect they may have on
the outcome of the war. While no ac-
curate figures are available, reports up to
the first week in October indicated that al
though these losses have beer great in the
aggregate, they have not weakned the
British Empire to any serious extent.
Because of the spectacular nature of
the bombing raids on London and other
parts of the British Isles, reported daily by
press and radio, the effects of these at
tacks have been exaggerated in the minds
of the public, especially with respect to
the loss of human life.
The number killed in England, Scot
land and Wales between the beginning of
the bombing raids and the first of October
was only between five and seven thousand,
according to the highest estimates. Out
of population of some 45 million these
losses. while distressing, are comparatively
negligible, so far as any effect on the
strength of Britain is concerned. Better
air raid protection, continually being I'M
proved, is likely to reduce casualties ma
terially from now on.
Property damage, while admittedly
great, is not as serious as many have been
led to believe Since the war began, new
merchant vessels completed are said to
represent greater tonnage than that de-
stroyed by submarines, mines and other
means.
British morale remains high, and it
appears that on the whole the chances of
an Axis victory are much less than was
feared few months ago.

When your sweet charms so

From loves glowing eyes We were

Charming sweetness in your eyes

INTEREST IN GOVERNMENT!

Many suggestions have been made in
the past about how to improve govern
mental conditions in Key West, but none,
to the mind of The Citizen, came closer to
hitting the nail right squarely on the head
than that contained in the feature story
run in yesterdays issue.
The suggestion that should, and may,
be tried out in this city puts the question
of better government right up to the citi-
zens of the city-where it always did be-
long. After all, whether politicians here
realize it or not, they are in office to serve
their constituents-not to rule them.
The trouble is, and Key West stands
not alone in this regard, voters have been
prone to elect their officials and then pro-
ceed to forget all about them. Not hear
ing from them, the same officials usually
go ahead and do pretty much as they wish,
or bow, as is so often the case. to the pro-
fessiOnal minority or opinion that has some
sort of an axe to grind.
At any rate, what The Citizen liked
about the Readers Digest article, telling of
an improved form of government in Ber-
kelley. California, was that the citizens of
that city became awakened to their duty
and, having let their wishes become known
to the councilmen, received, by reason of
that interest manifested, a better govern
ment
That is entirely possible in Key West.
and something of a similar nature should
be instituted here. One hears that civic
consciousness has been aroused to a GER
tain extent here All right-so it has, but
certainly not in sufficient volume to bring
about certain reforms badly needed.
With the system of public interest and
governmental knowledge pushed by Key
West residents such as that followed in
Berkeley, it is entirely possible that the
future of this city would be greatly en-
HANGED. After all, if representatives of
the city, from all classes, sat in regularly
at council meetings and were considered,
as they most certainly would have to be,
in framing legislation that effects the
Wkole city, the council members would
think twice Oh some subjects, before cast
ing their votes
The Citizen was advised that the
Mayor had been acquainted with the ar
ticle before it was printed yesterday. AS
the leading government official of the
city, we would suggest that he call a meet
ing of all interested persons in the near
future to consider establishment of this
back to the people" form of government
IN Key West.
The future of Key West is pretty well
bound up on the premise of whether or not
good government will be practiced here.
Let's start the ball rolling and show the
council that citizens of our city are in
terested in what they do-and how they
perform.
The Key West citizen., 1940-10-15

The degree in which our own happi-
ness is associated with the happiness of
others IS closer than we think For in
stance if property owners of Key West,
who have consistently lodged their just
taxes in the past, would be converted to
doing their civic duty by paying their OBJ
legations to the city, they would be happy
10 be relieved of the burden, the city coun-
cilmen would be happy; the employees of
the city would be happy to get their wages
regularly; those to whom the city is in
debted would be happy to receive the
money due them, and a general happiness
would prevail all over Key West Wouldnt
that be nice!
