What a fright ful calamity -t would be if she were not iwrmitted. af’er ail. to accept an mutation which tad been the cause of much discussion in the Porter fata ily. and little Mrs Porter had regard ed with dismay the invasion of their quiet town by these plarinp examples of a blatant tad arropant plutocracy, but Peppy had pleaded har.i, and easy poiap Mr Por*er had finally settled the matter by saying: “Oh. let the child go. Emily. We oonstry folk must be behind the times, for I onders and that the Simpsons before they came here moved in the best circles' of Peoria" When a few hours later Peggy stood before her mirror arrayed in her best, she viewed the slim white figure reflected therein with j*arJonable com pia-ency Her new frock was dainty enough to satisfy her exacting taste, and al the _ph she sighed, as usual, over her shining locks, which were just the color rf old sorrel s glosly coat, in st-ad **f being fiuffy gold, like Maude He .tea's or cloudy black, like Evelyn .rr's. F>» «»« djnilv aware the r*d hair is not an unmitigated affliction tafcen in connection with a pair of big brown eyes and a skin whose rose end snow is accentuated rather than red by a freckle or two on the tip of a spir : ited nose. "i'll send Nora for you at ten, dear. Mrs. Porter said, as Peggy set out through the long June twilight. "Oh, nmmsey, not at ten;" Peggy expostulated in tragic tones. “Well. 11.” her mother relented. "But don't keep Xorah waiting—11 is very late for a child of your age to be out of bed " The imposing pile of stone and brick which had sprung into existence, mtishrootn-like. by the magic power of unlimited wealth, towered grandly above the less pretentious structures around it. and Peggy, who had never before been within its charmed pre cincts. quite held her breath as she enfered a great drawing-room fur nished with barbaric splendor. Freddy Simpson, in evening clothes »hich made the other boys’ "Sunday best” look, as the most independent cf them secretly acknowledged, "like thirty cents." seemed to Peggy’s dazzled eyes a fairy pink an.! white V'!>itiness which had gained hint the soubriquet of ' Pinky," w as also of a capricious ness. He responded to Peggy's shy greeting with brusque in ..Herence and the next instant had turned his hack squarely upon her to r< sume a whispered conversation with Evelya Starr, who wore flamer-colored silk. Notwithstanding fcis pink and white softness of as]iect, Freddy had inherit ed that parental capacity for riding roughshod over the rights and feel ings ef others which had so notably assisted his father in his race for riches and it was soon obvious to all l«-hold. rs that for this evening, at least, dark-bad red Evelyn was the ob ject of his pursuit, it was Evelyn to whom he directed ail his words and his smiles; Evelyn whom he called out in ail the games. Evelyn in a state of giggling e.ation. who occupied the seat of honor beside him at the sup jrer table, an.! the wistful wonder in a certain pair of big brown eyes moved him not one jet. Peggy never lacked for cavaliers, and she join. d in all the merrymaking with apparent zest. But through it all the one drop of comfort in her bit ter cup was the fact that Jack Trav ers who never went to parties except nnier coercion, had early in the eve ning with a few other kindred spirits retired to a room which went by the name of Freddy's den;” there to amuse themselves with a marvelous collection of mechanical toys. At supper time she shrank back as far as possible behind a big palm and a small escort to elude i e "'-eking glance of a pair of blue e„. «.s .*._.king out frem a bronzed faeg. But Jack »as devoting himself to his supper with the enthusiasm of a hungry, hearty boy. did not seem to notice her humb’.e position in an ob scure corner, ignored and deserted by the fascinating young host, and as he again withdrew to the attractions of the den the girl drew- a long sigh of relief: • Now he's safe for the rest of the evening.” she exulted. "I can stand be.ng slighted by Freddy if only Jack doesn't know.” But Peggy was destined to undergo an ordeai that made the other experi ences of this trying night fade into in significance; for in the midst of the after-supper hilarity. Pinky Simpson, taking up his station near a door, an nounced loudly: “Ma s gone to bed. an" she's left a big basket of favors that cost a lot for me to give the girls. But I’m not agoin' to give 'em to any but the pretty girls. Them that I call the names of may go into the li'bry. The basket s on the table, but nobody dast to touch it till I come—I'm agoin' to give the nicest ones to Evelyn, 'cause she's my honey. Now. Evelyn, you go first.” Evelyn departed giggling in hys terical enjoyment of tae situation An' Maude Herrick, you may go—an' you—an" you— an' you— an' you.” One by one the girls designated by the young autocrat left the room, and then with a nonchalance which some of his father's business associates would have had no difficulty in recog nizing Freddy prepared to close the door in the faces of the unfortunate remainder. The boys present, although some of them were swelling with generous wrath, seemed stunned into inactivity by the brutal frankness of their host, while most of the girls, belonging to the hcpelessly plain sisterhood and inured from their cradles to such slings and arrows of outrageous for tune.” accepted their fate with indig nant resignation. Not so Peggy . As name after name was called she began to quiver with suspense Her throat grew dry. her hands cold, and as she saw the door of the library closing her pride broke down altogether. "O Freddy, Freddy—aren't you go ing to let me in?" she wailed like the peri at the gate of Paradise. "Naw.” Pinky responded without emotion. "You ain't pretty. Peggy Porter—you got red hair.” Unheeding the sympathetic murmur of condolence that arose on all sides. Peggy plunged blindly into the hall and out of the door through a crowd of grinning lackeys. She wouldn't stay in that house another instant. She would run home alone, and if some malefactor met and murdered her on the way. why welcome, sweet death, which would put an end to her agony of shame that was sonsuming her. But instead of a malefactor Peggy encountered at the entrance of the grounds, the maid who had been sent to escort her home, and Tim Goggin. •v« noliroiwn on that boat "Lord save us! What's ailin' tf»« child?” Norah exclaimed at Peggy's wild, distraught appearance. "Oh, Norah, take me home!” Peggy moaned. “An' where's yer cloak?" demanded Norah. “I don't know. I don't care—I just won't go back to that house again!” Peggy wailed. The exigencies of his profession had accustomed Mr. Goggin to agitated persons of the female sex. and his tact fully soothing ministrations had re duced Peggy to a semblance of calm by the time Norah returned with the cloak. The question of social precedence was not one often mooted in the little country town, and Peggy was unaware that convention demanded that the maid who acted as her escort should follow her at a respectful distance. As a matter of fact, she usually held fast to Norah's hand while she regaled the friendly girl with an account of the evening's gaiety, or else on the not infrequent occasions whey they were joined by Mr. Goggin. she ""tagged on behind” admiring the officer's form and lordly manner in which he swung his club. But tonight she was far too distract ed by her recent humiliation to watch the lovers strolling along in front of her. or to hear the sound of rapid foot- 1 steps pounding along the walk behind her. and she started violently as Jack panted in her ear; “I'd caught up with you sooner. Peggy, but just as 1 was startin' for home 1 heard what Pinky Simpson had been up to an" I went back to lick the stuffin' out of him. Those guys in uniform pulled me off before I'd given him what was cornin' to him.” he added regretfully, "but 1 guess what he got will hold him for a while.” "Oh. Jack!” Peggy gasped. "Did you thrash Fred ;v because—because he—” "Stire I did—why wouldn't I?” Inter jected the boy. “Oh. Jack!” Peggy breathed again. Jack's bronzed face looked pale in the moonlight and his blue eyes shot forth sparks of fire. He was exactly like the picture of St. George after he'd killed the dragon. Peggy thought. “I told you Pinky was no good.” her champion reminded her. "But he must have bats in his belfry to say you're not pretty. Why. Peggy, you're a peach, and I think red hair is great.” Peggy edged nearer in grateful, un bounded amazement. "Oh. Jack.” she asked shyly, “did you thrash Freddy because of me? And do you honestly think I'm pretty?” "You bet.” Jack replied succinctly, but with unmistakable sincerity. A soft little hand slipped into a sinewy brown one and Peggy snug gle.! to the side of her ancient ad versary. "Say, Peggv.” the boy whispered. "I liked you all the time." BALD-HEADED MAN'S BREAK His Criticism of Women Bathers Is, by One of Them. Adroitly Turned Upon Himself. As they sat sunning themselves oa the sand he began to be cynical as usual. As a matter of fact, he fre quently spoilt the pleasure of her aft ernoons in the beach with his cyn icism. •‘Men look well in their bathing suits.” he began, "look at that fel low over there. A Greek gcd Knows • it. too. Stands where everybody can get a good look at him. and they ought to be glad to look at him. He is a picture. No superfluous flesh any where. Well built. Clean length of limb. Magnificent, but the women! Lord! Of all the floppy, unlovely things in the world a woman in a bathing suit is the worst. Look at that woman walking into the water now. Legs like pillars. So fat she looks .ike a lobster tied in the middle with a string Flesh slopping over every where. Never looks half decent un less she wears a corset, and then she looks out of place on the beach Some j times it makes me disgusted with life.” he finished, "to see the nievst sort of women floundering around oa the beach in a bathing suit. It does really." She looked quietly at the top of his head before she began to speak "U there is anything really pitiful.” j she remarked musingly then, “it is to ; see a great big bald man. no matter j how good his shape is. in a bathing suit. Now- look at that one. Isn't ! he the most helpless looking creature ! in the world? No matter how fine ho . is, no matter how- straight he walks | or how white his flesh it. there's that j bald spot shining, shin—” But by this time she was talking j to the atmosphere, for he had covered ; his head with his hands and taken a flying leap into the water. ?he saw him come up again a long way off. ’ where he swam slowly about, thinking it over. _— ■- ■ A Strasburg Society.

Governor Walter Roscoe Stubbs, who was re nominated at the Republican primaries of the state, has had a short career In politics, compared with most leaders. It is only seven years since he began to interest himself at all actively in public affairs, and now the governors ambition is to succeed Senator Charles Curtis, whose term expires in March. 1913. and whose successor will be chosen two years hence. Stubbs is red headed, like that other insurgent leader of Kansas Republicans. Victor Murdock. Red hair means energy. Oddly enough, he comes of Quaker stock. His parents, who lived in Rich mond. Ind.. when he was born, were very poor. Now fifty-two yea& old. the governor is wealthy as a result of many years of hard work as a con tractor. mostly in railroad building. Thus h? has fin intimate acquaintance with one feature of railroad affairs, the ccst of new lines. ntfin physically, Stubbs has a face that Is often boyishly emotional, though it car. change into granite hardness when his fighting spirit is aroused. His talk is homely and direct. He frankly admits that he is ambi tious to go high in politics. He has hardly any "book learning." and he does not pretend to have any. He has been, however, a very good friend to the state s educational institutions and appreciates education. Stubbs began his political career in 1903 by going to the legislature. In 1904 he became chairman of the Republican state committee and remained such for four years. He nominated Edward Wallis Hoch for governor, after Hoch had refused to accept the nomination. Stubbs hired two good talkers to use the long-distance telephone from Topeka on every farmer in the state who had a phone in his home. It cost a good deal of money, but Stubbs was satisfied with the result. “They wouldn't have worried about a letter.- he said, but when they got a long-distance call thev knew that meant some thing." As governor. Stubbs sought unsuccessfully last year to have passed a tuocent p-assenger-rate law. declaring the statute permitting a thiv-e-cent rate to be a humbug. The legislature adopted the report of the railroad commission, recommending that the two-cent bill be not passed. CARDINAL GIBBONS AT 76 j James. Cardinal Gibbons, who recently cele brated the seventy-sixth anniversary of nis birth, is noted among churchmen and is head of the Ro man Catholic hierarchy in the United States. He was bora in Baltimore, but at an early age was taken by his parents to their former home in Ireland, where his education began. Upon returning to the United States he lived for a while in New Orleans. He studied first at St. Charles college ami later at St Mary's seminary In Baltimore, and in lSv! he was ordair.ed to the priesthood- In & short time he was made private secretary to Archbishop Spalding and chancellor of the archdiocese. In 1SC3 he was raised to the episcopate and in 1S7T was created coadjutor archbishop of Baltimore, A few months later he succeevte.: to tee see. and on June 30, .SS6. he teas Invested with the insignia of cardinal. Cardinal Gibbons presided at she third national counci’, of the church, held in Baltimore in 1S$4. He has written books and pamphlets on religious subjects and is noted for his char itable work. In the course of a general conversation with the cardinal recently, the subject of divorce came up and he at once opened up on it with all his bat teries. The evils of divorce are ever uppermost in his thoughts. "Divorce Is a canker ahich is eating into the very vitals of our life.- he said in the Interview, in which he also urged young men to enter politics. "Society— our whole clvllixatio® urrears itself upon the sanctity of the home anl the unity of the family. When you a;tack ’he family you attack government itself. And government to protect and perpetuate itself must expunge from Its statutes the criminal divorce laws which the best cf our life abhors. "1 pray for he time when men and women may be persuaded to under stand the seriousness of marriage. Regard k'ss of religious convictions, they tiould understand that they are entering upen a contract which is not of a day or a month, but of a lifetime. They should know that they must bear and forbear The husband cannot pul! one way and the wife another. TheT must pull In the traces together."
