In view of the enormous sum which America spends annually on education what return does it get? This question has been answered as follows by two prominent educators, Thomas C Chamberlin. formerly president of the University of Wisconsin, and Albion W. Small, dean of the graduato de partments of the same institution Inasmuch as these same men are at the top of their profession it will be Interesting to see both in what degree the educational system of the country benefits the country, and to what degree the system achieves what it sets out to do. Briefly, according: to these men, the concrete things that education will do ere .these: 1. Give the masses of the nation a more judicial attitude atd better pow ers for wise judgment In public and private matters. 2; Make large additions to the class of men who know how to think and who do think as they pursue their dally work. 3. Cure the general public of the tendency to rush to conclusions without investigating facts and to make snap Judgment under erroneous belief. 4. Cure the "money madness," by giving the nation a mental and moral Tiew point which will enable it to place mere materiality In proper balance as against ideas and ideals. 5. Improve state and federal legislation by - Instituting departments in the stat universities devoted to specific statutes as they are passed and maintaining detailed record as to their history and effect. 6. Improve conditions of life in rural communities by making life more attractive so that the evil of overcrowded cities will be lessened. 1. Mora education win hold the na-

tloa together as a cement until it lias adjusted itself to new religions and moral convictions based on humanitarianism, or common sense expediency for nation and Individual. There seems little doubt that real education does accomplish the things which these professors claim for it. And though our percentage of the real thing may be small there Is no doubt that as much of it as is real is beneficial in the ratio In which it is genuine. It is well to point out, however, that the country" is by no means as well educated as is commonly believed and it is also well to point out that all education Is in the nature of an investment the benefits of which will be garnered In the future. It is the common knowledge of all those interested with tne problem of the great cities, that It is the cchool which transforms the human raw material which is imported into our country into citizenship. Little can be accomplished with the alien the son of the alien who goes to school becomes the American. It is a significant fact that the German empire after the conquest of Alsace and Loraine in the Franco-Prussian war changed the school master on the day of occupation The American government Is beneficent toward the Filipino in the matter of education simply because the school turns out good and loyal citizens. Likewise the Russian, Persian and Turkish governments have always fostered ignorance because it made the people submit to the autocratic government. The conclusion to do drawn from this is the same conclusion which the two men before mentioned have drawn: That. the more education, the more liberty, good government, benefits in health, enjoyment, and sane living we shall have. Nor is this all. The more education, the more efficient individual as a member of the 6oclal fabric from a mental and moral stand

point. America Is Just waking up to the fact that there is something else in the world beside money. But money can be put to no better use than to further the cause of education. There is much to be done not so very far off. In Kentucky there are 5,000 school trustees who can nefther read nor write. Half the children of school age are not in school. Indiana Is not at the top even in the matter of literacy. Is Indiana educated enough? A BLOT ON THE 'SCUTCHEON. And this is the North! Four dead one hundred injured, four blocks of property and one hundred thousand dollars worth of property destroyed and twenty-rive hundred negroes homeless, destitute and refugees, all the product 'of a race war in Spring field, Illinois. True Illinois had a governor who is a man for that she mav be thankful. Governor Deneen can claim no honor for his behavior save that of doing his duty and calling out the militia. With the spirit of lawlessness abroad and rife in the land what are we com ing to? There is the capital of a vast commonwealth which has boasted Its material superiority over many there within two hundred yards of the home of Lincoln, within a stone's throw of the monument to the man who suppressed rebellion and mancipated the entire negro race in these United States, that was the scene of the most indefensible, the most outrageous outburst of lawlessness and race hatred that this country has yet witnessed. There are some who will say: "Oh. but Springfield is a tough town, what do you expect?" But that is a cruel indictment. How long are the people of the country to submit to the tough element? And how far is this tough element to go! It was noticeable that the "race war" was carried on by young men or boys beneath their majority. Is this the spann we creed? Is this our vaunted young American? The answer is "no" and "yes." The ignorant "tough" element which loafs about any town is only waiting to be kindled. And whose is the fault. It is the fault of the town. Any town can transform its undesirables into useful citizens or It can remove them to places in which they can do no damage. The much vaunted superiority of the white race does not show forth particularly well in an affair like the Springfield. Nor does the North seem to be much superior on occasion than the South. Where is the vaunted self control and the law abiding spirit on which the Anglo Saxon has prided himself? No. The fault rests with the community. Any town which allows corruption in high places, in which the laws are flagrantly violated and the air is one of being "wide open" is tough. And any "tough" town can be expected to raise a mob on any occasion. Such a situation Is not a question of race nor color the lawlessness was (here ready to go off like any other high explosive. It 13 a question of civic health. Governor Deneen has played the man a state of affairs which Is paralleled by the action of Kentucky's gov-

ernor on the Night Riders.- Lawlessness must be met with order. The most strenuous measures are none too

good for the "toughs" of Springfield. This outbreak should be a lesson to any town which possesses a "tough gang." MUCH DEPENDS ON THE MEETING To Decide if Miners Will Obey Order to Discontinue "Check Off" System. NO STRIKE IS WANTED, MINERS IN BITUMINOUS FIELDS REMAIN ON STRIKE THEY, TOO AWAIT RESULT OF MEETINGS HELD TODAY. Evansville, Ind., Aug. 17. Whether the coal operators of Evansville and southern Indiana will obey th,e order of the State Association of Operators to discontinue the "checkoff" system, thereby precipitating a walkout of the miners, will be decided at a meeting of the operators, to be held in this city today. The miners as well as the operators are anxious to avert a strike here. Terre Haute. Ind., Aug. 17. Reports from the bituminous coal fields indicate that the number of striking miners is now about 8,000 out of the 10,000 employed throughout the district. Before the day is over the men still at work will likely know whether or not they will go out, as several meetings are scheduled for tomorrow to learn where the operators stand in regard to the "check off" and to decide on the strike. Perhaps the largest number of men at work in any one section is at Evansville where about 800 men have not yet quit digging, but they will likely do so tomorrow. SHOWS IN PARKS ARE TABOOED AT WABASH Arrests Follow Performances Of Yesterday. Wabash, Ind., Aug. 17. Despite threats of arrest two shows were given at Boyd Park, on the Ft. Wayne & Wabash Valley traction line, between Wabash and Peru today, both yesterday afternoon and last evening. The shows were not interfered with, although John Cooper, who preferred the first charges and who stated he -will file affidavits against all con cerned for every violation of the law, was getting evidence to file charges tomorrow. At his request Prosecutor Carpenter went to the park today. Tomorrow the first hearing will be heard on the charge of Sabbath dese cration, preferred against James Ir win and Joseph Small, managers of the concessions, but this will not be thfl onlv trial, as a new one will be begun at once, according to Mr. Coop er. . RIGHT HAND MAN -TO PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. GIFFORD PINCHOT. Pinchot, who is forester and chief of the forest service, is the president's right hand man in nearly all of his broadest plans for the regeneration and improvement of this country. Ha Is chairman of the national conservation committee and now has been made a member of the commission for the betterment of farm life. Mr. Pinchot is a man of independent for tune who expends much more annu ally in behalf of the various altrustlo projects in which ha is interested. than he receives from the government in the way of salary.

Copyright. 1906. by CHAPTER. XXIV. HEX the beautiful and mysterious nurse whose fame had gone up with the soldiers into Tllad pass arrived with others to take charge of the Red Cross hospital on the day following the battle she Found the man she had been longing to see for many, weary, heartsick months. She found him dying. To the surprise of the enthralled command, she fell in a dead swoon when she looked upon the pallid face of Graydon Bansemer. She bad gone eagerly from one pallet to another, coming upon bis near the last. One glance was enough. Ills face had been in her mlad for months, just as she was seeing it now. She had lived In horror of finding him cold in death. It was Teresa Velasquez who first understood. She knew that Bansemer's one woman had found him at last. Eer heart leaped with hatred for one brief instant, then turned soft and contrite. If Ehe had learned to care for the big American herself during the hard days when he had been so tender, she also had learned, that her worship was hopeless. She had felt his yearning love for another. Now Bhe was looking upon that other. While the attendants were bending over their unconscious companion the Spanish girl stood guard over the man who had been her guardian, the man whose life was going out before her miserable, exhausted eyes. Jane Cable stirred with returning life. Teresa was quick to see that words, not medicine, would act as the restorative. She went swiftly to the American girl's side and. clasping her hands, cried sharply into her half conscious ears: "lie is not dead! He is alive! He needs you!" The effect was magical. Life leaped Into Jane's eyes, vigor into her body. She recovered from the Bwoon as mysteriously as 6he had succumbed to ItHer sudden breakdown had puzzled her companions. It is true that she was new in the service; she had seen but little of death and suffering; but, with all that, she was known to possess remarkable strength of purpose and fortitude. That she should collapse almost at the outset of her opportunities was the source of wonder and no little contempt among her fellow workers. The words of the strange girl In men's clothing opened the way to smart surmises. It was not long before every one In the command knew that the "beautiful Red Cross nurse" was not wearing the garb of the vocation for the sake of humanity alone; in fact, it was soon understood that she did not care a straw for the rest of mankind so long as Graydon Bansemer needed her ministrations. Ignoring the principles of the cause she served, she implored the doctors to confine their efforts to one man among all of them who suffered; she pleaded and stormed in turn, finally offering famulous bribes In support of her demands. For the time being she was half crazed with fear and dread, wo fully unworthy of her station, partially divorced from reason. The more desperately wounded were left in the village with an adequate guard, the rest of the command departing with Major March. A temporary hospital was established In the convent. There were two doctors and four or five nurses, with a dozen soldiers under command of Lieutenant Bray. It was while the apparently dead Bansemer was being moved to the improvised hospital that Jane presented herself, distraught with fear, to the young southerner who had so plainly shown his lore for ber.

Bray was surprised and distressed; he could not misunderstand her motive. He had gone on caring for her without suspecting that there was or had been another man. She had not confided In him during those weary, pleasant months since they left San Francisco behind them. To learn the true situation so suddenly and unexpectedly stunned his sensibilities. He found difficulty In grasping the importance of the change an hour or two had made. He had fougbt valiantly, even exultantly, in the pass that morning, her face ever before him, her words of praise the best spoils of the victory should they win. He had come down to the village with joy and confidence In his heart, only to find that he was not and could never be anything to her while the life or memory of this fallen comrade atood as a barrier. Bray's hour following the discovery that she had deliberately sought out and found this stricken private was the most bitter in his life, nis pride suffered a shock that appalled him. Ills unconscious egotism, born of hereditary conquests, revolted against the thought that his progress toward her heart was to be turned aside by the Intervention of a common soldier In the ranks. Gentleman though he was, he could not subdue the feeling of exultation that came over him when she approached with her plea. He knew that it was a base sense of power that made him feel that he could punish his pride's offender by either denying or granting her appeal. The attitude of self sacrifice appealed to his wounded vanity. He was tempted to profit by an exhibition of his own pain and generosity. He went with her into the convent and to the pallet on which was stretched the long, still figure of Graydon Bansemer. A surgeon was standing near by studying the gray face with thoughtful eyes. Bray's first glance r the suffering face sent a thrill of encouragement through his veins. The man was beyond all human help. The grip of death was already upon his heart. Then the true manhood that had been his through all generations revolted against the thought that was in his mind. The man should not die if it was In his power to prevent. Ko matter what the cost to him, he would give his aid to her and hers. He tried to put aside the feeling that death was certain, and very soon at that He sought honestly to justify" Efinself in the hope that Bansemer's life could be saved after all. "Leave me alone with the doctor. Miss Cable," be said. She was kneeling beside the man on the cot. Without a word, but with a dark, appealing look Into the Virginian's eyes, she arose and went swiftly away. "What chance has this poor fellow, doctor?" "None whatever, sir. He'll be dead In an hour. I'm sorry on her account. Strange case. I've beard she belongs to a fine family In the east. Foor devil, he's got an awful bole in his side." "Have you made a careful examination? Is it possible that no vital spot has been touched?" "We haven't had time for a thorough examination. It was better not to waste the time on him when there were others whom we bava a chance to save." "You will oblige me, doctor, by glvIng him the quickest and most careful attention. There may be a chance. He Is one of the bravest men in the army. Don't let htm die if there is a chance for him. Miss er the nurse has asked if he can be moved today. "No. But wait; I don't see why. If It will satisfy her. He will die anyhow, so why not tell her that we will start south with him tomorrow?" "It Isn't fair. She should be told the trntt", --- ---

-By George Barr McCutcheon Author of "Beverly of Grauslarfc," Etc "He'd die, that's an anyway you put it" "You will make the examination T "Yes, in at once." "But you you feel that it is hope less?" "Certainly, sir." "I'm I'm sorry," said Bray, walking away. The doctor looked after him with a queer expression in his eyes and then called his confrere to the pal let Bray found Jane waiting for him out side the door. Teresa Velasques was standing beside ber, holding her hand. "What does he say?" cried Jane, gray with anguish. "He cannot be moved. There Is no but little hope. Miss Cable. They are to make another examination. "He must be saved! He must! Let me go to him now. I will help. I will give my life to save his," she cried. Bray stood between ber and the door, bis arms extended. "Don't go in now, I implore. Wait There may be good news." "He Is everything in the world to me!" she moaned. "Come with me," whispered Teresa. Bray looked at the Spanish girl, and a new light broke. in upon bis understanding. What was this refugee to Bansemer? The answer shot into his brain like a flash, and he turned cold. "Miss Cable, I think I understand your anxiety," he said, bis voice trembling. "Won't you let this young lady take you away for half an hour or" "But 1 am a nurse. Why should I be kept from him? I am here to care for all of them," she protested. "You are not fit to do duty Just now," he 6ald. "Miss Cable. 1 understand why you are here. It is noble of you. I am truly sorry that there is so little hope." He was leading her away from the building, leaving Teresa standing there with ber eyes fastened upon the door with a look that could not be mistaken. "I would give my own life to have bis spared for your sake, Jane. Forgive me. I would willingly give all I have in life for you. But I am afraid it is impossible to save him." "Don't say that," she whispered. "You you would be his wife?" he asked. "No, that cannot be. I could not be bis wife." "You mean be is married?" "No, no, not that! You can't understand. I can never 'marry him. Never!" Bray struggled for a moment with the puzzle. His eyes went slowly to Teresa. Then he suddenly understood why Jane Cable would not marry the man she had come to find. He asked no questions of himself. . but Teresa would have been the result of every conjecture had he done so. "He might better be dead," he thought, his eyes hardening. "She's found him out. Gad. I Lope" But he put it from him. Graydon Bansemer did not die within the hour nor that day. The carefnl examination of the snrgeens gave little additional hope. It did. however reveal the fact that no vital organ had been destroyed or Injured. The ball had torn a great bole in bis left ld and had gone through the lody. Prollng was not n"cesary. The flow of blood was frightful. There was t spark of life left on which to build a frail hope, and they worked with new Interest. The attention of every one was directed to this tragic struggle. The efforts of all were lent to the successful end. Jane Cable,, dogged and tireless, came to be his nurse now that the life thread still held together. It is not the purpose of this narrative to dwell upon the wretched, harrowing scenes and incidents of the wilderness hospital the misery -f those who watched and waited for death, the dread and suffering of those rho gave this anxiety, the glow of spiritual light which hovered boye th forrr! of men who had f or-

8uutj t -jrr cr- rrrri cow. The first Ight passed. There were sleepWs eyes to keep company with the faint moans and the scent of chloroform. Over the figure of Graydon Bansemer hung the eager, tense face of Jane Cable. Her will and mind were raised igainst the band of death. Down in her soul she was crying, "You shall not die!" and he was living, living on fa spite of death. The still, white face gave back no sign of life. A faint pulse and an almost imperceptible respiration told of the unbroken thread. Hoping against hope! Dawn came and night again, and still the almost breathless girl urged her will against the inevitable. Sht

had not slept nor had she eaten of the food they brought to her. Two perJ sons, a soldier and a girl, stood been and marveled at her endurance an J devotkm. The harassed surgeons, newj in experience themselves, found time, to minister to the seeming dead man.' their interest not only attracted by his remarkable vitality, but by the romance attached to his hope of living. That night he moved, and a low moan came from his lips. The goddeea of good luck had turned her face from the rest of the world for a brief laj stant to smile upon this Isolated suti plica ct for favor. Jane's eyes snd ears had served her well st last Shej caught the change in him, and ber will' graeped the hope with more dogged tenacity than before. The word went, out that there was a chance for bus.! Her vigil ended when Bray came ts lead her away ended because she! dropped from exhaustion. The next morning, after a dead sleep.' of hours, she returned to his side. The; surgeon smiled, snd the nurse clasped' her hands with tears in her eyes. Ban-! semer was breathing thickly and toesj ing In delirium. It was as if be bad been lifted from the grave.
