All through the delirium Jack Irwin
was haunted by the vision OF one face.

the crisis came and he emerged, weak
and tired, from the dream world in
which he had lived for days he in
stinctively looked about for the reality.
Instead there were only his mother.

the doctor and grim faced nurse.

asked impatiently. Cant you remem-

Mrs. Irwin came forward and laid n
hand upon his forehead MY dear
boy" she explained, you must remem-
ber that you have been in delirium
for long time. 1t must be one of the
dream fancies to which you allude."~
IL wish could get back to where she
is." he sighed, and then no dropped off
10 sleep again.
When he opened his eyes again there
was only the nurse, and she would not
let him talk of his delusions. yet some
how he could not bring himself TO be-
lieve that this was part Of his dream
He could recall in n hazy way many
Of the phantasics through which he had
passed, but IL was not the same with
the girl There had been something
real, something tangible, about her. He
could remember that all through those
dtBordered hours he could see her face
smiling at him and beckoning him on
TO safety when the others sought TO
lure him into danger. He could not
believe. even now, that IL was but a
iRment OF fever fired brain.
And yet convalescence passed, and

none the less dream. 1t puzzled
him. but he could not talk of il to
others.
He was thinking OF her one after
noon when his superintendent came
in and reported that Cassidy, the en-
gineer, had been badly hurt by being
caught In the machinery.
Irwin, always thoughtful of his men,
gave orders that he should have the
best of care. and that evening, on his
way home. he stopped in himself to see
how the injured man was getting
along
Nicely, Mr.. Irwin" said the CRATE
ful man. The doctor did all he could
TO make me easy, md l have a nurse
that's an angel from heaven"
Didn't know they had gone into the
nursing business" laughed Irwin.

the engineer. Shell be up In min

There was the soft sound Of a door
opening and Irwin rose to greet the
nurse As he did so he graspcd the
chair for support 1t was his dream
girl the girl who every one had sought
10 convince him was myth
She came forward with little bow,
and Cassidy, with n wave Of his hand,
introduced her.

lively.
NO" she said evenly, Il think not"

sisted But she would not continue
the discussion, and search his memory
as he would he could not remember
Edna Clintock.
That first visit was but one OF many,
and he soon discovered the hour at
which the nurse took her daily walk
and was generally ready TO leave
about the time she emerged from the
house
He was never obtrusive, but In
quiet, masterful way he suited his
steps TO hers and continued TO walk
with her.
Several weeks had passed and Cas-
sidy was almost ready to return to
work when Irwin spoke Mt last. They
had told him that she was leaving in
the morning and though she had pur-
posely delayed her walk until long
after she supposed Irwin had gone his
tall figure loomed up before her at tho
gate. Failing into step he slipped her
arm through his

'I must not" she cried, frightened
Il have promised She caught her
self, but the mischief was done. Bit
by bit he drew the story from her.
She had been called TO attend him
when the fever had stricken him. Mrs.
Irwin had warned her against flirta-

marry. She had promised 10 be care

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 2.
Senator Smoot did not address the
Senate today in answer to Senator
Kearn's vigorous assault upon the
hierarchy of the Mormon church.
Since yesterday, when his FRIENDS
tipped him off to the fact that any
answer by him would involve the SEN
ate in furious debate, the apostle
has kept quiet and tried to forget the
speech. He shows no disposition TO
strike back. To an intimate FRIEND
he said there would come time
when he could reply at length, and
preferred to wait until then.

Some south Idaho people have al
ready been caught. The gang is
made up of five suave individuals who
were run out of Ogden by the officials.
They have been going through
farmers in the most dastardly shape.
The mode of bunco operated by these
individuals is very simple. A fellow
drives up to the house in buggy and
brings with him talking machine.
The children and the household gem
orally are given concert and event
ually the head Of the household is in
duced to order machine for presum-
ably SIS, but in reality he signs an
order for graphophone and twenty
records at s15 each, which of course
as problem in addition foots up ex-
actly 1915. The salesman is temper
arily short of funds and gets the
sucker to give his written agreement
to allow him to discount the note.
In few days another individual
comes along with the note and say

proceeds to collect as soon as the ma
chine is delivered by still anothel
man. 1t is wonderful how many peo

but they were unsuccessful in their
efforts, being foiled and checkmated
at every turn, and the record in the
Smoot case is minus what this witness
might have furnished.
