Then came the superstition that

'Waa It because It waa wrong to
love me that be has been punished?
Will my punishment for loving him

I looked up to find Dick • eyes

rare mutely asking me not to Judge

I returned hla glance ooldly—what
ras there to explain? The man to

Why had he done this? Certainly

ibaolntely Ignorant of anything ex

By a perverse fate they had never

lothlng about the letters that had
issued between Malcolm and me

lords of love that very afternoon
rom the man whom he had let die
"Mr. Blackenaks taking a sun
bath." whispered Danny
or to me. but to such little folks as
Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse It
was a very long journey indeed Bo
they wisely derided not to hurry too
fast. In fact, they stopped lo rest
very, very often. They would
scamper alnffg a few feet, then stop
under cover of a mass of old dead
grass while Danny looked and lis
tened and listened and looked to
make sure that the way was clear
for the next run
It was one of these times while
they were resting that there was e
sudden snuffing sound th-t sent cold
shlverg all over them It was Bow
ser the Hound who happened alone
just then and stopped to sniff in the
very patch of grass under which

out from und* r ihe grass and Into

Presently they came to a little
open place among the bushes along
the fenc* and Danny atarted to

time he saw something that made
him turn and run hack so suddenly
that he ran right into Nanny and
knocked her over
‘What Is It*" asked Nanny anx

'Mr Blacksnake taking a sun

chattering with fright. Don't make

Next Story—" Which Was Gost?"
without making any effort to save
"Yea." I aaid to myself wonder
Ingly. "he did start to sa\e him and
then he deliberately turned around
and came back." I had thought
many things of Irtrk but I had never
thought him a coward. Indeed, much
as I hated him at that momen, great
as was the contempt In my heart for
him, aa little as I could understand
his motives. I could not thtnk that
the man who was trying so hard to
bring back life to the man he had
let die was a despicable coward.
And yet—there could be no expla*
nation Since the world began the
only difference between man and
brute was that man came to his
kind In time of need and the brute
let hla kind die —alone
Why then had Dick done thia? By
what twist of the brain could he
ever Justify himself to himself, let
alone to me.
"It waa too bad you did not see

"You might have held hun above

‘ And we might hare had two dead

At thla point Dick, without e word',

J. P Morgan and other financiers
of the country are In Waahlngtcn
today attempting to have the pres

show a little more consideration ft>r

Their fear* are:
That appeal for popular suhecitp
tlon to the Issue will result In many
small snd even large Investors In
stocks unloading to purchase the
government bonds because they are
vxempt from taxation
That If this is done there will be
a falling marker and the big New
T.>rk and Chicago flnanclera will be
unable to sell the bonds At a rate
of only three aod one half per cent
The "street" feels that the bulk
of the great Issue must necessarily
fall on the New York financiers for

SPY BILL IS
HIT BY LOOSE
Hiram Johnson Also Thinks
Bill Goc« Much
Too Far
WASHINGTON. April 11—De
claring It “arms the administration
with dangerous powers to suppress
the freedom of the press," Senator
bodge in aenate debate last night
bitterly attacked the pending ea
ptonage bill particularly the news
paper censorship provision
!x>dge defended "free comment
and Just criticism" and said only
"news of value to enemy" should be
-fUp pressed
The bureau of public information
—newly created to dleaemlnate gov-
ernment news—also came in tor op
position by Ixidge. who said It was
"dangerous to place In the hands
of those most likely to receive
criticism the power to suppress It."
Hlrsm Johnson, concurring said:
“We should pause, lest In our am
lety for democracy abroad we forget
our democracy at home.'*
"I think attempts to deny the
pres* nil legitimate criticism either
of congroea or of the executive. Is
going very dangerously far,” said
liOdce "If we are going to pass
s bill like this, I think it would not
do to deny the right of legitimate
criticism
”1 have not the least desire to
tnterfere ivlth the punishment of
those who use the freedom of the
press for the Injury of the United
States, but It Is going a long way
beyond that when you put power
in the hands of the executive to
punish with the heaviest penalties
any legitimate criticism which con
veys no information of value.”
