For a moment after the light had teen turned on Tom Harlow looked al ien at Helen, who sat with her back toward him. her bead bent and her face hidden in her hands The opera tor turned to his instruments, which were clicking frantically. "Helen." Tom said very tenderly aft er he had paused beside her. She looked up at him. and he saw that there were tears in her eyes. He reached for one of her hands, but she drew away from him and shrank a -'tie farther into her corner. Helen.” he said again. * I've come j to explain to you.

"Let s go outside.” he suggested, outside, under the stars, where I can ; tell yor everything—where nothing will be between as and heaven ” The c iterator was busy, and did not notice that the waiting room was empty. "You see. Helen, it was necessary [for Mrs. Danforth to take somebody , into her confidence." Tom said. "For some reason she selected me. Her for- I • mer husband, who was a scalawag, had nformed the secret service agents that she had been smuggling jewelry. It was merely a case of blackmail. Sue had refused to support him and be tied to get ber to buy him off. She needed somebody to help her establish an alibi, and at the same t me she didn't want the story of her troubles to get out. So she drafted me into ber service, and I couldn't very well beg off She was a woman in dis tress. that was all." "But why didn't you tell me before?" : Helen asked. She had asked me not to tell any body until she gav~ me permission to do so." ' Then she has given yon permission —and yoa have seen her again?" No. I have neither seen her nor , beard from her The man Las made a confession, and the whole story is in :be paper*." She walked away from him. crossed the platform and stood for a long time, Poking at the silent hills that lay ueep n feathering shadows of the night. At length she turned, came half way :<ark to him. and then stopped. He approached her. held out his arms, and asked: Don't you believe I have told you the truth. Helen—that 1 have told you all there is to tell?" >h* did not speak, but put her arms J about his neck and laid her neck again*: hi* breast, while his arms "losed about her Thus for a long time they stood beneath the stars.

HEAD OF WOMEN’S FEDERATED CLUBS ! -—..i Mrs. Pennybacker. a picture of whom is herewith presented, was re cently elected president of the Feder ation of Women's Clubs. It is said tc- be her idea that women, whose . activities are directed to affairs out side their home circles, consist of three classes: First, those who work for their daily bread; second, those who are moved to action by the economic conditions surround.ag working women and political abuses which affect the general public and strike particularly hard at women and children; third, those who are interesting themselves in public af fairs as a means of broadening their mental horizons and acquiring a mere • liberal knowledge of the ways of the world In the first class there are in the Cniied States six million women. Six million women afe working for their bread and shelter. Their activ tries are. with few exceptions, com pulsory. They work because hard practical necessity compels them It is almost impossible to estimate the number of women in the second class. They are in every city and village. From the richest «o±aa in the metropolis who is using her wealth to alleviate tae hardsh.ps o: overbur dened girls to the poor woman in the small hamlet who insists that the vil lage constable shall keep children out of the one poci room in the place are found these workers for the betterment of conditions The third class form the majority of the club women. There are about eight hundred thousand club members in the United Stares. Approximately one-third of these work for their living or are engaged in unpaid public ' service. Two-thirds are students of public affairs for educational reasons SIR GEORGE ALARMED BY AMERICA'S GAIN i \ Anglo-American amity means world supremacy or these two nations, a-c cording to the opinion expressed by Sir George Reid, high commissioner for Australia at the British capital, in an Interview given out the other day. With a rupture of the friend ship between the United States and Great Britain—and he sees no indi cation of unpleasantness—ether pow ers might seek to change the balance of power, the commissioner said. Sir George and Lady Reid have just finished a tour of the United States that extended over several weeks. Of course, he is duly im pressed with the remarkable growth of American industries and American fortunes. But. do you know. Sir George actually thought at one time that the bally American foundation wasn't solid. He says so himself. Listen: lo one who lives as far from the I cited States as I do your tre mendous strides and development appear so rapid that it is hard to beheve 'ne- a*"e on a solid foundation. One feels that the bubble must bat^t some day. But my visit has convinced me that vou have bailded solidly ““ that^impression of which I spoke has been entirely dissipated.” . IF, <^eor?e also £are an interesting original expression of opinio?i about “e "5Ue unpleasantness between the American colonies and England in 1775 uish to emphasize, he declared, '“that there never was a war between the people of Great Britain and the people of the Vnited States. At the time of the war with the American colonies it was not the people of England * 0 **f°usnt about the strife. The people had really no voice in the matter me king was influenced by bad advisers, and the people really had no say in the matter.” DR. PAGE MADE BISHOP OF NEW MEXICO 11 _ I Rev. Kerman Page, rector of St Paul s Episcopal church. East 50th street and Madison avenue. Chicago, has been chosen bishop of New Mes- j lco by the Episcopal house of bishops. The announcement of Dr. Page's election came as a surprise to the members of bis parish. None of the members had heard of the possibility of such action being taken. Some were inclined to express doubt as to whether Dr. Page would accept the appointment Only one other promotion was made by the hosse of bishops, that being the election of George Biller Jr., formerly of New Jersey, to the bishopric of North Dakota. The bouse of bishops was in session for two days. Dr. Page has been rector of St. Paul's church for twelve years. He • came to Chicago from St John's w tp:scopa: cnurcn at roil K:ver. Mass The newly appointed bishop was graduated from Harvard with a degree of bachelor of arts in 1SSS. in 1S91 he received the degree of bachelor of divinity from the Episcopal Theological seminary at Cambridge. Mass In 1906 he was awardee the honorary degree of doctor of divinity by the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Page had been rector of St John's church in Fail River for sever years when he was called to Chicago to occupy the pulpit of St. Paul's one of the largest Episcopalian congregations in Chicago Dr. Pace Is forty-three years old. married, and has one sou. now a stu dent at Harvard { JILTS A PRINCE TO WED AN AMERICAN j The engagement of Miss Rather- r ine Britton, who. it is reported, jilted a prince to wed E. H Harriman's son. Averill. is expected to be announced shortly. Young Harriman will in herit much of the millions left by his father, and Miss Britton, as the i daughter of Mr and Mrs. Alexander : Britton, will come into a large for- | tune. Miss Britton spent the summer in Europe and at Narragansett Pier. She won fame in social circles at the national capital last -winter by appear ing at a dance with a golden snake twined about her corsage. The effect was so lifelike that it startled the guests until the wearer assured them st was made of jewels. As a de votee of aviation, she has also gained eorve prominence, having made sev ers! flights on the speedway with famous aviators. 1 At the time of Miss Britton's J# . I debut, several years ago. she was a member of the exclusive coterie of debutantes known as the “Big Six." Her associates of that year were Miss Laura Merriam. Miss Gladys Hinckley, i Miss Fudora Clover. Miss Marguerite Draper and Miss Sophie Johnston. W th Miss Merriam. Miss Britton helped to organixe the Mondav After- i noon Skating club and the Dancing Fifty at the Playhouse clcb at Washing ton. She has also taken part in various society dramatics at the Playhouse and in Mrs. Barney Hemmick's affairs. She was particularly effectire ln the i pantomime given by Mrs. Hemmick last spring. Attired in the colonial cos tume owned by her great-great-grandmother, she led one division of the minuet at the Southern Relief ball, and won great admiration. In her mode of dressing Miss Britton has been noted for her originality. She was the first to wear the new Robespierre collar, and she defies conven tion by wearing a gay black and white cap while driving her automobile j Her engagement has been rumored before.
