An Explanation.
In as much its the imptcssiou has
gone lorth that tho wrltots of the
articles which appi'iitcd in the I'cport-
or signed, Paid," feared to sign their
nainos to said articles, . desire to
state that wo oll'etcd to sign on-di
article, but for piudeutial reasons it
was deemed .best by tho editor and our
selves t hiit the articles bo published 1
without signature. We unhesitatingly
claim the responsibility of writing
those articles. If opportunity is given
to publish oilier matter out signatures
will appear with tho muiio.

out and own their authorship. There
is altogether too much ot this uuomi

ought to be willing to sign his name
and not hide behind tlio uuine of "paid

like. Most editors aio willing to give
their spaeo Tor such articles but it is
an imposition on tin- fintornity to ask
tlioin to publish that which the author

right to oxpeet a man to sign hi
articles. Perhaps the articles would
not bo so forcibly put nor so draslio in
tone if the author's uamoucieuppeiut

edly sueeoined to tho cpiulms of their

As Hhe did thin
the llRht from the
lamp phono on
her face. It
brought out
ng.iinpt dark Hliml
oux tho high
clipvkuouro, the
pot mouth drooii
lug nt tho corn-Pt-8,
tho heavy
brown hair drawn
tightly back from the forehead and the
cold eyes.
Kite sighed deeply its she stopped
to the lamp to lower Its light, but Iter
face did not relax with tho nigh.
In the growing darkness of the
room a .streak of moonlight, coaling
through a small opening of the door,
stood out distinctly. This cnuglit her
eye. She stepped to tho door and
Hung It open.
Moonlight Hooded the room. It on
veloped her.
She stopped out into thin ethereal
glory of the harvest moon, which
blotted the earthly lines of enro ami
monotony no lately written Inoxornbh
In her face.
It was kind, and how she had longi d
for kindness! In the exhilaration ol
tho moment she forgot tlte driidget
of her life, forgot that to-morrow
would come nnd with It tho round
of hard wot k cows to milk, men to'
food, berries to pick, the baking, scrub I
bing all the Innumerable things tin t '
nover come to an end. She forgot J
that she was tired, that It was late
nnd that the men were In bod.
She only felt felt without Ihlnkiiig
that something was lending her on,
thai something thrilled Iter and
seemed to he lifting her away from
weary things.
She followed the moonlight, fol
lowed it through the Held where th"
late .summer gtaln had boon piled in
hIipovim, cneh tawny pllo topped with
Its fringing sheaf, each casting a py
ramidal purple Rhadow on tho yel
low stubble, lt soeuiod to hor that
a Held never lind looked to beautiful
before.
She followed the moonlight past the
tail trees that stood apart like sim
tlnols nnd basked contentedly in the
silver light.
Site followed It down tho stretch
of rutted lotul to where the willows
leaned over a ribbon of silver water.
There she stopped. She had reached
Willow creek and could tollow the
moonlight no fnrther.
Still her dream did not desert hor.
She watched tho silver shower of In
sects dance above the water. She
watched them without thinking, only
delighting In tho vague hypnotic pow
tr of the night nnd the moon, only
feeling tl.nt all was well for the mo
ment and she must not think.
When a chill of dnmpness crept
over her, her dream ended. She shiv
ered and sighed. ,
Put though tho d renin was gone, the
hard look did not return to her fea
tures. The fnce was softened by the
gentle light, and then came these
thoughts:
"1 have been mean to John because
I had to work no hard. He lias worked
hard, too, and things harun't always
gone well. I never tried to make it
easy lor him. I never cared except
that it sieiued as if I should always
have to work and work I'vo thought
only of how it was going to bo tot
mo and didn't caio about him.
' That's the reason I'm cross and
ugly and people are almost afraid to
speak to me. Why tliouhln't the men
who work for John never have a word
or me? Tlu-y like John because lie
isn't m ly and mean and I am.
' Vy lit" has been hard, hut I've
made it hn dor and made life harder
lor .Inhr, too,
" . Low hoU, how good, how gloi
hlid il'o moonlight lm made iery
tlilim' l wts-li John could see this night,
bii' l suppose he would nee nothing
Jiff en ut. I suppose lie's too tired.
Poor John!''
She put her upritt to her eyes and
tlun (l'dckly smoothed It down. As
she neamllhe little plain farmhouse,
her home and John's, she saw a dtirl;
tRute cm tho back porch. To huvo
beiti caught showing emotion would
have been strange Indeed in hor. Her
'io' stiffened back to the old lines.
Hut it was only for a moment and
'hen with consi ions rff-.it sho allowed
her failures to i ' v . ilr,.
John was fit r u ji t onii jUh
head bent for iin : h In ed The
wife put her ham: 'ot.il. w on he

Hue a night since a long time."
lb- fumbled awkwardly for Annie's
other hand and took It In his two big
calloused hands.
They said nothing. They couldn't.
All seemed so strange and now. For
the moonlight hnd brought a wonder
ful kindness. Chlcngo Dally News,
