Next Sunday h Easter, the day when every one wants a new dress or suit, a bonnet or ,i fedora You will find just what you want and need tn the local stores. Os course federal employes will not enjoy paying the income taxes but under the revet ruling ot the supreme court, will have to do so giving them a tas'e of what the rest of us hate bet-u carrytag for some time. It’s the week of Easter, an occasion for religious thoughts and of the fair season of spring Get lu line, fuel the spirit of the groat occasion and be happy you live in • a country where you may worship as you pieasc and where democracy really means something. The miners and operators ought to get together. There can be no great good come from a strike at this time and the sound men (mi | each side surely will be able to met at a point of agreement in their conference It's better for them and better for the country. The distribution of a million and a quarter dollars to the depositors ot the First National Bank ot Fort Wayne will bring the distribution up to more than ten million dollars having been collected and paid back. It looks like another case of closing a tunk that should have weathered the storm. The I distribution should prove helpful to the individuals thus favored and to the community in general. McNutt is gaining in his «am paign for the Democratic uomtn at lon and if any one thinks he won't lie one of the leaders in that great race, they will have another guess coming.

The I council is intended to protect tnj dustry, labor and the public ; against unfair legislation which [ would discriminate against this I territory in regard to transportation Created for the primary i purpose of opposing the equalixa- | lion of freight rates between the north and south, the council will | also co-operate on other problems I of a smiliar kind which may arise I m the future.

IWSSWaßWWWWWasaaSWWMasWMmmamiwaWsamMawmmaawmwaaWmWi CHAPTEB XIV Annie lay for a I'ng time alone | in her bed that night. She was still awake when Staunton came la, and i instantly alert when he mentioned i Jerry Ann “It looks as though Beverly has come to her senses." he said, looking down at her, as was his habit, without seeing her at all. She stirred uneasily. “I don't think so. I dent know, of course I doubt if she will over marry him." He scowled. “What does she wart in a husband anyhow? She encouraged him for months." "1 don’t think she cares for him." “Care!" he said scornfully. "Ix»t of romantic tosh. What she needs I is a heme of her own and a baby or two. Ames is a good-looking young fellow. What's the matter with him anyway’" Lying hack on her pillows, she surveyed him. He had been the canter of her life for ■ long firn*. She hsd watched him grow from a sensitive. ambitious underling to his present state, and had seen him hardenI ing under the cruees* It was she who had paid the price for his auceeaa, she reflected. And then she had lost him He had lost her. too. although he probably did not know that or ears. "She's tn a curious mood these days." she said quietly. "I think she liked this youi g Arder. and for 1 some reason er other they have < quarreled. I don't know what It was I about" But Staunton Lewis knew, and ' reflected grimly that this was the I source of Beverly's information. He , said nothing, however, and Annie went on: “It's all rather tragic, for of course he want marry her. He's too proud, for one thing and he a too poor. It will be >«a's brt ura he can support a wife." "More romantic drivel'" h» said dryly as he prepared to go. "Men are heroic about everything but money. I tmtire he took the eity job fast enough when O'Netil offered it , to him." So he knew that, ton He knew everything. He frightened her some times by the things he knew. “It's just possible," she said, watching him. “that he took it because he knew you had nothing to do with it. Otherwise—" He started st her “Otherwise what?" he demanded. Bhe had made a slip, and she knew it. "Oth-rwise I doubt if he would have taken it." she finished. "I gather that he doesn't approve of any of us. and that h* b'ame* you for a number of things Probably you know what they are." Ho mo’-cd rather p'.mp-usly to the door. It occurred to her then that ho was rather a grotesque figure and that it did not real'y matt<w that ho had not loved her for years. "So that's what’s the matter with her." he said slowly. “That young fool's been talking in her. And now she wants to marry him! la that It?" But suddenly she felt very tired. She wanted to ho alone with her book and the window raised and the cool night, air Mowing In. "I don't know." she said wearily. "She listens fur the telephone, but I don't think he's called her. I suppose he’s busy." He went nut then, bsnging the door behind him, and she smiled. It infuriated him. she knew, that anything belonging to him should Mt be desirable, and it gratified her now and then to get under his guard and pierce the hard shell of his asmplacerry. She shivered and. lying back, felt carefully the hard lump in her right bregst. It had been there for a long time now. no*, particularly painful as yet. still to bo concealed; but there, never to be forgotten. She lay for a long time after she bad put nut the light, making her quiM self-eon tain *4 plans. Chris Arden never knew of that dtteuulon. although he read rather about the party tn the paper th» peat daj'. It »U »t that

that he took over the city wort, and his first view of it was not encourag ing. The Department of Health was still housed on a bystreet in a small two-stor) brick building a block or so from the Municipal Building; and the Department itself was the football of local politico. To it came the poor of the city, ready to sell their allegiance and their votes for a load of coal, a weekly grocery order, or a doctor in time of need. Men, women, and sometimes children, they came ir through the dirty double doors and sat patier.tly on the hard wooden chairs until the g da behind the counter on the opposite side of the room were , ready to hear their prayers Chris, walking in from the eold fresh air, was met by an atmosphere compounded of unsashed bodies and old clothes. The line of waters on the chairs did not so much as look at him. but a fat man named Jenkin- who dealt out the blessings hailed him with the hearty voire of comradeship "Hello." he said. "You're the now doe. aren't you?" “I am. I don’t know why." The fat man grinned, rocking back and forth on bis heels "Full is the word, eon. Why am I here’ Why are you there? Pull, my boy " Chris glanced hastily at the row of chairs, their occupants now ir terested and listen!"*. But ihev did no* rise and smite him, or Jenkin* either. They smiled instead, for they, too, were there through pull of one kind or another. "I suppose I'm reporting for work," he said tentatively. “And work’s the word?" said Jenkin* cheerfully. “Work’s what we’ve got nothing else but Say good-bye to a night's sleep from now on. Doe. These folk* her* make it a rule to be sick all day and send for the doctor at night. And a* for the babies well, very few babies are born in the daytime." "I suppose there is some sort of formula?" said Chris "1 haven't an idea how one goes about this job.” "Youll learn, and you’ll go about plenty.” Jenkina assured him. As Chris went out. after getting more detailed information, he was aware that the line-up on the hard chairs was eying him carefully, in trntly. Jenkin* meant food and coal, but hereafter Chris m ght. mean life or death to some of them He felt heavy with responsibility. He was surprised to find, that afternoon, that his waiting room looked like a section of the morning line-up at the Charities office Women and children mostly, they filled the room to overflowing, and one or two of them stood in th* hall. Katie, standing in the rear hall, was scowling *« he went bark to leave his hat and eoat. "What’s happened?" she demanded. “The who]* place smell* of them." "Bette- get used to tksm. Katie. I’m a eity physician now." Later on he was to decid* that that first day was th* result of a perverted sens* of humor on th* part of Jenkina. for n«v*r again did th* earn* thing happen. They earn*, of course, clutching th*ir slip* of paper from the Jenkins' order hook, bringing their crying babies, using the upstairs bathroom, and in his aba«nce allowing their amall children to rangn the place and slid* down th* banister*. Lily took to locking herself is the back of the bouse, and a* she usually mislaid th* key, there wer* long delay* in answering the doorbell. Katie wore an air «f dignified resentment But after that first day there was no small army crowding at his door. A* a matter of fact, ho soon discovered that comparatively few cam* at all. The poor preferred sending for him to coming to him. He was busy, busy a* h* never had known a man could be. Ho slept in snatches, at* irregularly. Lily, trailing in her eternal wrapter*, would bring him a plate of ried and inedible food. "I bied to keep it warns Doctor ’ Sometamaa h* was too tired to 1 protest, ouc* or twic* ha was aw-’od
