'CGA1MENT & DISCOMMENT jThe fhU thin you krow a man won't I have any rights at ail. We tried to make the letter plain and to the point.

When we think of ell the hurs and the brothers with pet thorics to expound, or axes to prind, who write communications which clutter up the mails, and drive the aforesaid pub lic personages to drink, it is a wonder why the legislature, which are willing to tackle any kind of legislation, don't define an open season or a closed sea- pon, or whatever is necessary to curb those who are prone to "take their pens in hand," or at least confine them to pvopei' bounds. However, that wasn't what we had in mind when we oiled up the Rem ington. The whole subject was brought to mind by the editor of the Press, Sunday should be "a day for tuning up the health of soul, mind and boll together," says Dean W. It. Inge, oi St. Paul's Cathedral, in the London Eve:viijr Standard. That It does not now fulfill this function is because it is treated simply as a day of idleness. And, as we all know, rest is not idle ness, the best definition of rest being, says this noted clergyman, "unimped ed activity."

When the people of Ne braska voted to make this a desert instead of an oasis we refused to be lieve it and, having always been a of misplaced confidence, There is no connection between the Hebrew Sabbath and the Christian Sunday," and the writer affirms that Sunday is shown by its history to be a human, not a divine, institution.

We ought to consider that Sunday ex ists to rectify this inevitable result of life under modern conditions. The greatest need which commonly re mains unsatisfied is that of quiet recollection and communion with God; and it is no professional prejudice that prompts the expression of regret that public worship, which gives the best opportunity for these exercises, should have gone so much out of fashion. "But other human needs also clamor for satisfaction. With some there is a real need of rest; though now that working hours are so much shortened, there is seldom any "necessity tor spending half the day in mere sloth. Others, if they only knew it, need a breath-of country air and a sight of the green fields. 'Nobody can object to the bicycling clubs which exists to gratify this desire in company. Others need opportunities for seeing their friends, and for getting to know their young children, of whom the working man can see but little on week-days. j Others want to read books. There is no reason wny tney snoum ie religious books. "A few may want violent exercise; and the clergy ought not to frown upon Sunday games for those who can not play them on other days. For those a small number since the war who spend their week in idleness, one would like to prescribe a severe Puritan Sunday. Nothing can be more selfish than to make work on Sunday for those who ought to be resting; and i I copfess to a strong dislike of card playing on Sunday evening."

As he look the first step up a broad illght he heurd music, lie was dclibcnuilijj how to phi use bis application for hospitality, when the dour opened and a woman In a shim mering cxciiln;; gown peered Into the 'looin that lay between them. When Felix, hat In haiid, run up the steps, she exch.iiued in u pleased voice, "l'elix Mason! After all these years I "This is Miss Lime, my friend, who livVs with me. Kxplaln how you found us after all these years." "l'.y the lights In the windows, of course," laugbe'd l'elix. "Dinner Is served," unnouticcd Miss Lane, abruptly, leuding tl e way to the next room. l'elix never knew Just how be nvert ed a true statement of his appearance at the home of a woman who had been a good pal of bis college days. At first he thought of telling bis story straight. But as Pauline seemed to regurd his coming as a natural Jinp IM'iiing he allowed himself the pleas ure of a delightful evening utid ac cepted also the Invitation to remain over night. "I will allow you to stay on on condition," said Pauline, smiling mis chievously Into his suddenly sobered face, when she hade b in good night. "So, I'm to pay for my lodging by unending one of your social teas; are those your terms?" "Kxiictly." "To please you, I'll come, Pauline." Several months later Pauline sat within reach of the genial warmth of the huge log fire. The companion was making buttonholes for the Lnd.v Ald ers in a far corner of the room, Felix Mason's serial, complete ex cept for the last chapter, was On the table. It was a story of a friendship, Interrupted, patched, leading now to the climax of renunciation or complete fulfillment of love. The suspense of several months would be at an end when the last chapter should be Is sued. The telephone bell summoned Paul ine from her reverie by the fire. Felix Mason was speaking. "Pauline, may I come down to con sult " you business very important, concerns the story?" "Surely, I'll send the ear for you at once." "Thanks. You're n good pal, Paul ine. I cannot finish the last number until I talk It over "with you. Goodby." After dinner Miss Lane excused her self and alforded the two friends the opportunity for uninterrupted dUeus siou. Pauline nervosity began arranging .the roses Felix had brought. He stood looking solemnly into the heart df the bla.iug logs, then blurted out: "Many years ago, Pauline, I de scribed oii tu my sisters as the girl with tie honestest eyes I ever saw. The Iir-t time I stumbled up these steps, you tboii;-lit I really had sought you. I saw It In your honest eyes. I lied, Pauline, nr. us I called it. con cealed from you the real facts which led lo my coming. I was engrossed in my work llmt day down by the oceiin, overtaken by night, lost the road, stumbled here, lured by the only sign of lif on the landscape. 1 eon- ei'led all that." "And now, Felix?" "And now, Pauline, I'm here because I he lust chapter In that serlul must be inspired by you." Felix crossed to Pauline's side. Paul ine's eyes remained persistently on the roses. The ticking of the large clock beat In rhythm with her fluttering pulses. "Yes. It's true. Pauline; the finish of this Ktory which Is to fix my repu tation us a worthwhile story tellei rests with you. You've been a won derful friend, but friendship on my part Is eclipsed by love My dear, do you cure enougii for ine to lie my inspiration fur life? If o, I'll end the last chapter happily." Pauline lifted eloquent eyes, and Fe lix read there the motif for the clos ing chupter of bis serial love, bar-couy.
