atiolity equally blended with love M
her wire, "1 lovo you as ettleelt tie

have uot the right to ask me to give
up my friends. It is far better that
we consider ourselves free."
Harr Barrington looked be* at
Dawn with pain in his eyes. A pain
that wits perhaps mixed with a to
greet darkness of jealousy. He looked

nee, anA therefore will be tempting
both yourself and the other fellow.
You can't help tinting," he added.
Dawn btu:it-led, 'but ner eyes were
steady and enveloped Captain Darring-
ton with a MOON.that should have
told him that she was true as steel,
with all her flirting
"I'm sorry," 'she sald, "'but women

they will give up all luterests and all

a part of my life as marrying will be

laborate and work in this Studio are
dear and sincere friends and another,
big part of tity life and happiness.
Tf you cannot be generous enough to
let rne have my life and fulfill my
ambitions just as you do your own,
then, dear—we must not marry."
But, Dawn—I love you --1--"
"And 1 love you," she said unstead-
ily, "but have I ,ever asked you to
stop having your lovely stenograpbers
In your private room for dictation—"
"That is in business," be put an
quickly.
"And so is mine business," Dawn
stated, "but even if my men friends
were not working with me, I should
still expect, to be here and entertaining
them in my studio1 want to be
trusted by the man who loves Trie suf-
ficiently to let me lead my life accord-
ing to my own nature." She very
geutiy slipped the ring from her en-
gagement finger, ' "I' am firmin my
Philosophy in love and marriage," she
said witn a swift, if unsteady, little
laugh.
Barrington gazed long and earnestly
at Dawn as he took the ring from her
extended hand. Her beautiful satinet
arm was as white, as the lilies and her
shoulders molded for the sheer bealitY
of art.
Darribgtott took her in Ids arms.
"You don't love me. Dawn," he told
her sadly; "pen are perhaps not capa-
ble of loving,"
"I can't be the slave of love, It that
Is 'what you mean," Dawn told him,
and she put her lovely arms up about
its neck and held him close to her.
"Please try to remember, dear, that 1
love you more than any other woman
ever will, but my men eriends would
be a constant source of -unhappiness
to you, and In the end to me."
"I am sorry I have disappointed you,
Dawn. Life -would have been a very
beautiful experience with you at my
side. There will never be another
women either' in my heart or at My
hearthstone."
When be had gone Dawn gave way
to tears, but after that she hraced up,
began to readjust her life and tried
not to think of the void that During -
ton's going had left.
She was neither the clingirtg vine
variety of womanhood nor yet the in-
dependent, Museuline type. Dawn
was merely n good specimen of femi-
nine beauty and brains combined, She
loved Captain Barrington as a weak-
er nsture world never hoe to love.
Tbere were both depth and breadth
to her affection and coMplete trust.
Dawn contInaed her writing and she
made no change lu her manner of
Ing. When Dicky Vette came up and
their work -carried them into the noon
or evening hours, Mertes chafing dtsh
was brought out end savory meale
prepared. Then the typewriter clicked
while rabbit stewed. Dawn and her
collaborators turned out much that
was worth while in the literary world.
If on rare occasiorte Dawn WaS

of man under trying ciretunstaneete
she blamed hereelt and tot the man.

knew, however, that her own way of

and balminess.
She did not fight attreetionS hi other

She began to dress). exquisitely. The
beautiful arms and shoulders were
even more lovely when set off by bean-
ilful gowita.
Then suddenly Dawn knew that
Captain 'Barrington bad !wen brouglit

point of being on that terrible Tweet-
piee that reeve Melt hetwee) life and
death.
She knew, also, that a emodderable
amount of skin -grafting was all that
might nye bie life. It wee no dote

Dawn's courage had been marvelous
and her spirit felt greatly rejoiced.
She had done a small bit in the great
fight.
No one in her big circle of frienns
knew why Dawn stopped wearing the
lovely gowns that revealed her satiny
arms, and no one Icnew that Capt.
Harry Barrington's reeavery was
.entirely due to the skin taken from
those same *toms.
When the Imre was out ot hospital
and able to attend it a big dinner was
given for hint, Dawn, of course, was
there, an.d her eyes Were steady and
held the old liglet in them when she
and Barrington again clasped bands.
"Dawn, Daiwa," was all Barrington
said. His.eyes told her that life had
meant nothing to him without her,
and tinnily his lips said that he had
been wrong, ali wrong in demanding
so much of her. •
Dawn's smile was radiant. She had
won the kind of love she had aiways
dreamed of and she could look Bar-
rington squarely In the eyes and tell
him she had never wavered from his
love.

Darlington took Dawn swiftly into bis
arms. Atterward, = when a suggestion
of calm reached him, Barrington
trailed his lingerie down over Dawn's
arm.
"Why are my satiny, Precions. arms
hidden by this ehiffony thing?„ And
why are Dawn Conner's shouldhrs so
modestly under cover?"
Dawn thranle and the Color seeped
her cheeks. Ilarringten had never
seen her shrink from his touch.
"It's just a little scar or twe," she
sled swiftly; "they will all vanish

Darrington looked, hard at her.

THE FARMERS AND A DAILY
PAPER
In an interview that was given to
Printer and Publisher by the manager
of the United heriners of Ontario the
statement was made that it was. the
intention of that organization to go
into the IniAness of" publishing a daily
paper.
The reason veaS that the farmers
wanted a daily paper, therefore they
should have a daily paper. As far as
this paper can judge the manager of
the farmer's organization !did not point
out clearly where the present dailies
lit the deld were falling down in fail -
log to provide the farmer with a good
newspaper.
Undoubtedly the obeect it all is the
securing of an interpretation of tariff
.ideas. that will work to the advantage
pi farming &immunities. The farmers
are quite within bounds in going ahead
And establisbing a•paper that wilt ex;
press their views end eater to their
wants and desires. If the papers at pre-
sent in the field are ifot up to the stan-
dard that the farmers have le mind,
why it is their privilege and their right
to go right ahead and work out a pub-
lishing proposition that will remedy
the defect which to them is so appar-
ent now.
There are a few things, though that
the farmers' association should under-
stalui before they go to far in the en-
terprise. If their intention is to
spend their intiney as they have hever
spent it before.
They should be Prepared if items-
ary to sink their initial investment
entirely and to lose money at from
four to five years. e That is on the
assumption that they are going to start
a ne-w paper,
-
There are newspaper propositions in
Canada, several of Nem in Ontario,
that have lost enough inoney to make
an average man dizzy for weeks. Good
money has been put in without mea-
sure to throw a plank to the had mon-
ey 'that has been lost, and this process
goes on with a pace that makes' a, tal-
k( financier wakeful at nights lest
his whole frabic fall to the eerouncl bee
fore he reaches the office, in the morn-
ing.
Of course, the fine' oleeleion in the
matter is -one that will be of most con-
cern to the farmers themselves, They
will have to enake initial investment,
and it will be up to them to stand be-
hind it until euch time as their pro-
position begins to take care of itself:
At the same time they would be
advieed to venture info the daily field
at the present time. A much better
course would be for theni to secure an
established weekly with an agricultur-
al reputation =teed proceed to develop
it. In case their venture metwith suc-
cess they could go ahead and enlarge
the scdpe of their work until they had
It up to the status of a deity paper. If
on he other hand, they heel oecaeion
to find fiat the publishing_ business
was not remunerative, and they were
going to make a sinkehoe on their
hand, their investment would not be so
great, and their loss svould be correse
pondingly small, in the latter case it
would be enueb easier hi fled a purch-
aser than it would be to dispose of a
large and losing daily proposition.
Printer and Publisher has no parti-
cular interest in the matter. In fact it
might be geod.bueiness for a number
of our advertisers to have the farmers'
organization go ahead and equip a
daily plant But in fairness . to the
farmers concerned it must be stated
that publishing a paper at 'the present
time is a serious business. Publishers
of a. number of small dailies . were in
session in Toronto just a few deem ago.
They were discussing a "good many
matters, and the core of the *whole
business was that they had. to secure
more revenue to, ineet with the in-
creasing cost • of production. They
had chased their subscription rates up
to as much as e their district Would
stane 304 'their advertising ' Charges
had been brought up to the paint
where many of the publishers felt they
should rest fax the time being as local
business' conditions did not warrant
further tncrea.ses. And all the time
the charges have been going on apace.
The United Farmers of Ontario
should think thee matter. Out carefully.
As stated before, Printer and Publisher
has no object to serve in keeping them
out ef the daily or weekly field. The
field is wide open, and they can go
ahead and foss le as rauch of their mon-
ey as they please. At the Sanie time
they would be well advised were they
to be mighty careful of the direction in
which they do the tossing.
