The next day after is & Bood time to take a cursory involee, Im a general way the public Tedger may be balanced. Let us enter the items of pessiam on the @ebt side and credit our optimistic figures on the other. What docs the balance sheet show? Is there any progress since July 4, 1904? ‘The last half of 1904 and the first half of 1905 has produced a Targe crop of bribery and of graft and of the boodleism of high fimance. But along with the shamelessness of dollar scheming and @ollar grabbing has come that hope of the future—publicity. Along With the outlawry of the plunderers has come the aroused public @entiment that condemns the methods and demands redress, Along ‘With the evils plainly pointed out is the spirit of self purification. Since the Fourth of July, 1904, beodlelam has had many a black @7e. Tho work of city cleansing is a notable one™ St. Louis has de- Yeloped a civic conscience. Minneapolis has seen its shame and re- peated. Chicago still holds the gray wolves at bay. Even Philadel- that last refuge of scoundrels and habitat of respectable thieves, ts awake to its best interests. And Cincinnati, the worst bossed city of America, is straining at its bonds These are most cheering signs of the times. It ts one half of reform to make the people seo C@rruption in such a way as to hate it. For years a great tnsurance company of New York has been Febbing its policy holders. An infamous ring of officials has lux- ‘@WMated on princely salaries and exploited surpluses for purposes of Private graft. But thanks to Thomas Lawson, who took the lid off, there has been a scatterment of scoundrelly respectables and a | pRominent restoration. The whole miserable business has not been ‘Without its uses. A great warning has been given to all those who Randle the sacred funds of life insurance, One of the beneficial discussions of the past year was that of money.” A new and strong light has been thro upon the ‘Methods of high finance. The moral rottenness of wholesale extor- tion under the forms of law has been shown in a vivid way. A pic- tyre of the richest man in the world has been thrown upon the pub- fanvas. There have been few admirers. The world is not deceived. is not mocked. What a man sows that shal! he also reap. And ‘Ro turning of the bandit’s purse over to the treasury of the Lord ‘will justify the business of the robber. Across the seas we have had a moving spectacle full of lessons. ‘Waderneath the oriflame of war flames the unrest of Russia's mil- Hons. Discontent and revolution add their horrors to the czar's do- “Bains. Why? Because of tyranny?. Yes. And also because of dis- Honesty. Corruption has done its work. The rot of dishonesty per- ‘Mieates every phase of Russian life. It threatens not only the ruin of government, but of commerce. Bribery is rampant. Graft attaches every transaction. There ts more than the lawlessness of the mob. is the outlawry of soldier and of priest and of merchant. ' Spain is an filustration of the downfall of a nation ruined by dis- " Bonesty. One Spaniard could not trust another. Dishonesty was a “part of every transaction not only of government but of business. ‘Commerce languished under such conditions. Business lapsed into a phase little different fro mthe old barter and exchange. A traveler ‘tells us that previous to the Spanish-American war if a man had a Darrel of olive off to sell he went with the barrel and stayed by !t un- Wil he had collected the price. That picture fs not overdrawn. Spain Bas recovered somewhat from its low estate tn morals, but commer- ‘cial honor is all too rare. Credit langutehes beenuse of lnck of com- ‘mon honesty. ‘The danger that menaces Russian society and that has ruined ‘Gpain threatens us. Graft is no longer a thing of politica alone. It ‘as entered business circles. It endangers both the body politic and ‘the body of commercialism. We have no age-long tyranny to fight ‘@uch as the Russian people confront. Bur rust of dishonesty fe on our ikons we shall escape no more than they. But thanks to the God of our fathers, the body of our people is Wheorrupted. The people are intelligent to see the wrong and ro- ‘Sourceful to destroy it. And we have a press whose highest ambi- ion is to give publicity. Yes, there has been progress since July 4, 194. Let the honest pulse of American progress beat but healthily a few times more and the Fourth of July, 1906, shall see a further bet- ferment of our cational life.

She took with her some old pleces of rope which had been used for binding butter kegs, and which she knew would never be missed They had been thrown aside as useless, because they were so soaked in fat. Her revenge was coming within her grasp, t revenge she had been praying and hoping for—a life for a life. She tied a heavy stone to her rope, and, after climbing to the loft, pulled up the stone after her, There she walted. The old mill was a baited trap. Sho intended to drop the stone on her victim's head. She knew it would stun bim. Ten minutes would suffice for her task, if he remained senscless af long. Before 4 o'clock, Gerald Danvers entered the mill.

Susan (dragged Gerald's uncon- selous body along the floor, out of the window, on to the paddle near- eat it, and then she began to bind him to the blade. She had come with plenty of pleces of rope, and, slinging one round the paddle, she caught the end of it the other side. By that means she fastened the feet.

Then she drew the man’s hand- kerchief from his pocket, and, forc- ing his mouth open, used it a gag. knotting it behing his head.
