Truth to tell, she had come long before the rest, and spent the interval in helping kind Mrs. Marston with the fine, last details of supper. She had been wise enough to rest aft erward even to sleep a little while. As a result she came among the dan cers dewy-eyed, and as rosily fresh as the flowers upon her frock.

If, as I expect, it can tell us how to run the government so as to get the largest returns for the email- , est outlay, I hope congress will give It an extension of three years to dem-, onstrate its conclusions experimental ly, j "And speaking of economy reminds me of what we have accomplished even without the. aid of any board. On entering office I warned every cabinet member and bureau chief that I should hold him individually responsible for cutting to the bone the expenditures under his ontrol. On July 1, 1909 we faced a deficit of $56,000,000; July 1, 1910, saw that changed to a surplus of $14,000,000; and by July 1, 1911, the surplus had risen to $47,000,000." , "Pardon me, Mr. President, but do I understand that you attribute all this to your administrative economies?" "Oh, no; I am coming to that. Just now, though, I want you to note that the normal increase, of government expenditures each fiscal year is about i four per cent.; yet the expenditures "which were $662,000,000 during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1909, had ahrunk by June 30, 1911 to $654,000, 000, an actual decrease instead of the normal increase. This scaling down process lor the fiscal year 1911 ia rolved cutting the estimates made by the depariment heads $50,000,000. But to come back to your question: I fully realize, and I wish our people would, that the present prosperity of the treasury is due in no small meas ure to the existing tariff, which, not withstanding all its faults, is a rev- from week to week. This readiness of the banks for more active trade and industry is not lim ited to New York. It is a general con dition which speaks well for the prom ise of the year in business. Increased confidence and larger operations of many kinds may be looked for soon and the financial Institutions which must furnish the means of carrying on great undertakings are prepared to do their part in making 1912 a time of notable prosperity and progress. The country is coming to the presi dential campaign with diminishing fear of the effect of politics upon in dustries and commerce. It realizes better than it did a few months ago that the chances are in favor of bet ter times in a presidential year instead of any loss of ground. Cleveland Leader.

Commonly, she either coaxed Dora out of the sulks, or ended them by herself giving in. This time she did neither. Instead, she nonchalantly took up her shears, saying over her That Pension. Pensions! Pensions are usually granted only to those who, by reason of disability or poverty, after years of faithful service, are entitled to them. Governor Wilson is still a young man, in the prime of life and abundantly able to make a first-class living. Yet he sought a pension, at the age of fifty-three, from the Carnegie Founda tion. Professor Wilson then had a salary of $8,000 a year. Of course it was refused. We are not surprised that the governor is humiliated by the unexpected disclosure.

It gave free trade with the Philip plaes which has made the islands more prosperous than ever in their history, without injury to any American in dustry. It gave authority that I used tovcreate and appoint a tariff board, whlch, though not the commission I Bought, is doing a most useful work; and It imposed a corporation tax. on though it car ried with it an emolument of $100,000. Governor Wilson's rejected pension claim has shrunk him a foot In pub lic estimation. It marks the end of Wood row Wilson as a candidate for. the presidency. He would be laughed out of the campaign.

He had hung about Dora half a year, all the while conscious of Eli nor's attraction. Commonly he had seen her in the world of workaday a fragment of the huge machine known as public education. Rosy and rose-beset, he knew her for what she was the woman of all the world to fill and crown his life. He strode toward her, forgetting all else. But before he came to her, Allan Muir had whisked her off in a waltz. Indeed, for a full hour he could not get near her. Outblooming the roses of yesterday, she put even Dora in the shade. Partners, the most nmcky, the most eligible, swarmed about her her card was full in twinkling. By way of keeping the peace she even parted dances be tween the young fellows she knew best Tazewell would have no such part nership. Audaciously, in the face of an eager partner, he drew Elinor out on the piazza to say: " f r i , a j ... ., . ui jesieraay aian t mrt you look the part are you going to live up to it?" No because I don't know how," Elinor murmured, drooping lightly toward him. , men and there he kissed her quite forgetting Dora. that of the girls, who. on the other side of the walls, went back and forth on gay modern quests of shop ping and motoring, golfing and rid ing. Once an airship had whizzed over head, and the beat of its motors had come down to them faintly. Rosamond's uncle had looked up into the skies and had said, fiercely, "Can we never get away from mod ern horrors?" But Rosamond had looked up at the big airship, sailing over their heads like a huge silver iragonfly, and then down at the impassible stone gods which surrounded the fountain, and bad sighed. Rosamond hated the stone gods, and she yearned inexpressibly for the life that other girls led. One day outside the walls she heard a voice singing. It was a man's voice, strong and sweet, and the song was a love song. In her quiet garden, Rosamond had heard little of love. Her uncle had never married; be hated women. The song, as it fioated out on the spring air, seemed a call to Rosa mond to come out and be free. So she left her lace pillow and ran to the end of the garden, and climbed from the stone bench to the low S7 jiv& ii io her arret fivocme-(j shoulder.

Prudence said argu mentatively. Dora gave her a withering look, saying, "You know I don't want her to go. She's so uppish, and forward, always pushing herself into every thing."

"Give It to her and welcome4-lf she comes In It, she will be worse than a laughing stock," Dora said, scowl ing. Prudence turned sharply on her. "You're my blood whether or no," she said.
