by a group Of 0ld-time friends who
claimed his attention and recognition
after his years of foreign travel. Look
ing beyond the little group about him
into the ballroom, his rowing gaze was
Instantly caught and held by the
vision of a girl with a pair of won
derful dark and deep eyes. an exquisite
face and quiet dignity in the carriage
of her svelte figure.
"Who is she?" he asked of the man
nearest him. and even before the an
swer came he knew the name would
be Lucille Felton,"
'Look Quit" he was warned, sLucile
cannot be accused of flirting. but she
attracts all men and always turns them
down"
She saw him coming across the room
and knew him by the winsome brown
eyes that were still the eyes of the
little boy she had played with years
before.
ooh. yes!" she said carelessly, as he
recalled himself to her memory. 81
remember all my old playmates."
Then she turned to man immacu-
late in evening dress who claimed ner
for the waltz.
Paul Willis stood gazing after them,
all his ardor and impetuosity dam
pened by her nonchalent greeting. She
smiled softly to herself through the
waltz. The little" Lucille FELTON, at
Ii had at last been avenged. All the
evening he watched her dancing and
chatting with her partners, always gay
and careless. His whole heart went
out to her.
Just before the last dance he found
an opportunity to speak with her
alone. He was tongue-tied from this
new, strange feeling.
Are your parents well?" he finally
asked abruptly. A shadow came over
her face. The fan she had trembled.
Did you not know? They died four
years ago."
Forgive mel did not know" he
said.
"And the old home" she continued,
lifting saddened eyes to his, burned

She was more beautiful still with this
sudden sorrow in her eyes.
"And you-where is your homer"
II live with my sister, Mrs. Lothrop,
in your Home city"
Then others came up to her and he
was outside the little circle.
But the next day and the many that
followed showed no more of her mo-
mentary softening, and she resumed
her old careless manner toward him
The season ended, and they both re.
turned to the city, where he became
a frequent caller at Mrs. Lothrop's.
Always was the longing in his heart
but Lucille did not relax.
Her sister chided her one night after
he had left them.
He loves you, Lucille" she re
preached.

turning away her lustrous eyes. "They

they could be dispatched, says Fred O.
Sibley, in Epitomist. The platform A

the circular post D. which is securely

displace the bottom E on the outside;
this, in turn, releases both the string

owing to the weight of the plank B, is

middle-way through D by its sliding

as the motion of is then exceeding
ly fast, the victim, ere it can scramble
over the sides round the platform, is
caught and killed. Provided the affair
is nicely adjusted and made so that it
operates easily, there is no patented
trap on the market, to my knowledge,
half as good, for it has such an innocent
appearance that the Oldest and most
cunning rat will ultimately be caught
by it.. To work we'll the spindle G

kind of trap is also most excellent with

FARM FACTS AND FANc1Es.

Farming is poor business when the
farming is poor.
Wire fencing is more durable and
cheaper than wood.
A farmer without plans is next to q
ship without q rudder.
What per cent. of that seed corn do
you think will grow? If you haven't
tested it, you don't know.
The greatest saving Of time is made
by the use of the best tools in the prep
aration Of the ground, planting the seed,
and after cultivation.
1t is much more profitable to keep land
in good condition than to get it cut OF
such condition by one-sided ferttliza-
ton and then try to bring 1t back.
Time will be saved and you will be
apt to be more careful in your selection
If the seed corn is selected this month
If you intend buying seed, place your
order now.

FIRST DAY OF SPRING.
Would Have Been More in Harmony
Had it Occurred Week Ago.

Yesterday was the day set for eQuin-
oxial storms and it also marked the
first day of spring. If the latter event
had been scheduled a couple of weeks
earlier the weather conditions would
have been more in harmony. but as it
was the summer-like weather Of a
week ago was replaced by signs of
winter on the mountains south Of
Walla Walla and the air had chill
that suggested fires and spring over
coats, instead of straw hats and shirt
waists A rainfall of about .0S of an
inch in depth was the extent of the
equinoxial storms yesterday although
according to Observer Newman of the
Walla Waila weather bureau severe
storms may yet occur as a result Of
the suns crossing the equator. Equi-
noxial storms are popularity supposed
to be the result of the sun crossing
the celestial equator. This occurs
only two times in year, March 21
and September %. The event is
sometimes preceded by unusual at
mospheric disturbances accompanied
by rains and sometimes by thunder.
Often the storms occur a few days
after the equinox.

BENT ON OUsTING HYDE
Policyholders Will Bring Euit if Dunn.
my Directors Gain First Round

NEW YORK, March 22.-Should the
directors behind James Hazen Hvde
in the fight in the Equitable Insurance
society prove numerous enough at
Thursdays meeting of the board to
delay the naturalization Of the COM
pany for four years, the Crimmins
committee of policyholders will at
once take a hand in the fight along
broader lines than legislation at Al
bany.
The plan is to have a policynolder
living in another state bring suit in
the United States courts. This will
enable counsel for the plaintiff to ask
for the designation of a United States
commissioner to take testimony and
by following the methods adopted by
Samuel Untermyer, when he exposed
the scandal in the United States Ship
building company, get at the bottom of
matters in the Equitable.
If such suit is brought one of the
,rst witnesses called will be James H.
Hyde, and others will be the 3S al
legged dummy directors in the corpor-
alton.
Special efforts will be made to show
to what extent the directors have per-
sonally profited by their inside con-
nections with the company. The ma
nipulation of the hundreds of millions
of the policyholders' money through
the Mercantile Trust company and the
Equitable Trust company will be gone
into exhaustively, also the loans made
and the securities put up as collateral
Sales of securities to the Equitable
Life during the past few years will be
examined into closely to show just
how tney were brought about and
who reaped the profits.

Is Rockefeller After Oil Bonds?

TOPEKA, March %. Governor
Hoch says he has heard no report that
John D. Rockefeller is trying to buy
the Kansas state oil refinery bonds.
He says:
"The Standard Oil magnate would
have some trouble in obtaining the
entire issue. 1t is our intention to sell
the bonds to people in denominations
of $100 each, and not more than five
bonds to any one purchaser. Possibly
we will have to limit the sale to one
bond to the purchaser, to satisfy the
demand of citizens who want to give
substantial aid to the refinery project.
If Mr.. Rockefeller buys any of the
bonds, the investment will be gilt
edged, although the interest won't add
much to his fortune, as the bonds run
only ten years at 4 per cent.
