bringing from the depth box OF OLD
pictures-the faded kind that are near
est our hearts. She turned them over
eagerly, almost frantically, until she
came to a tintype with pinkish mat
around it. A sweet child face with
curly hair and great solemn eyes look
ed at her.
She threw herself on her knees and
sObbed over 1.-THE bitter sobs of mid
die age that rend the soul. She kissed
the lips with passionate tears, she
touched the curls and patted the baby
cheek as if it were a living thing

whispered brokenly. 'This is the one

her lips together and spoke sternly to

has never needed me before. I'll save
him in spite of HIMSELF
When she appeared at breakfast
she was her own well poised self, as
Robert saw with unSpeakable relief.
Admira ton rose within him to see how
she held herself in hand, with what
dignity she accepted defeat. And with
admiration came a surging back of his
old bOyiSh love. 1t had been hard for
her. harder than Idella or her mother

but if she satisfies you, and you are
sure it is everlasting love, 1 will re-

And Robert kissed her, feeling some
how less jubilant in this acquiescence
than one would suppose

Would you marry her?'
There was no escaping her searching
directness. 1t was the same tone she
used TO take years ago, when she
would hold him by the hand and say,
''NOw tell me the exact TRUTH and he
would feel that he had to do it. He
felt so now.
"A man might do worse he answer
ed, defiantly.
''Where?'
''Oh, well. Mother" he said, angrily,
you've never done these people JUS
tice Because they are not up to your
standard of grammar you think they
are wholly bad
mo, | don't think that But, Rob-"
she cried, passionately, ''they are not
our kind of people,"
"They are my kind of people, he
retorted, and she felt that he was
choosing between them.
Il am afraid they are getting to be-
she said, sadly.
What do you meanT'
Il mean." and she looked him
straight in the face, that the change
wrought in you in four years, If con-
tinued, will bring you eventually to
the Skidmore level
What change has there been in
me?'' He was defiantly curious.

line she said. In the midst of such
surroundings one must consciously
hold himself up-or drop. You are
careless in your dress, you are growing
rOugher in your talk and your man
ners And you don't read anything.
You told me so. How can a man
grow on the husks of gossip? And
your spiritual life-ah, laddie," and
her eyes filed, ''it is shriveling up"
He tapped impatiently with his heel
And, oh, Rob- she burst out, We

away. To think of your wanting to
give up your prOfessionr'
He was stung to the quick by her
plain talk. She had held up the glass
faithfully.

roughly, you'd better let me go to
the devil and be done with it,
You would not have said that to
me four years ago.
The more they talked the more she
saw, to her dismay, that he was in
earnest. You married for love. Why
shouldn't IL he asked, doggedly.
''Oh, love-" she cried, impatiently.
''This is not love- Love must have
some foundation. You are infatuated,
that's all-infatuated with her beauty.
When that is gone, what will be left?
She is hOpelessly your inferior. She
will be a clog to you always. And
think of the folly of it, Rob. You
happen to be here at a time of life
when young men think of marriage.
You are thrown accidentally with this
girl. Because you have the STRINGS
of passion within you you think you
are in love. Conquer it, Robert. 1t
would mean misery to you both"
I've promised to marry her, Mother.
Would you have me break my prom

Her very lips whitened. But she
would not give it up.
YES she said resOlutely, 81 would.
Better broken promise than two

wreck both. She could not hold your

BOISE WILL SHOW THEM.
Idaho Capital Will Royalty Enter
tain the Hundreds of Dele
gates to the National lr-
rigation Congress.

Boise will do its prettiest to en-
tertain all who come to the national
/ Irrigation congress. said w. T. Booth
assistant secretary of the congress,
in an interview with the Salt Lake
Herald, while in the Mormon city on
Sunday. We have a proposition now
which if We can carry it through is
bound to make the affair a success.
! 1t is to divide up the congress and
during the last three days take the
delegates over the reclaimed lands
and show them what irrigation has
done and is doing. We can show
them thousands of acres of former
ly arid lands that are now producing
beyond the most optimistic dream of
/ the first promoters. We can show
them the great Boise-Payette project
where the government Is reclaiming
district embracing 100000 acres
and the Minidoka project with 13O.-
600 acres. Then there are private
projects such as the wonderful Twin
Falls, covering 250,000 acres on the
south side of the Snake river and a
similar body on the north side as
well as a dozen other projects cover
ing form 10000 to 100000 acres
each.
1--WE have not been looking for ma
tional conventions in Boise, but in
this case we have the goods to show.
We thought that as Idaho is the cen
ter of the great reclamation work
that is going on We should make an
effort to show the country its val
ue The congress will be handled all
right. Though there will be full
ly 1000 delegates. there will be
ample accommodations for all. The
people of Boise have arranged to
open their houses and there will be
no lack of room, even if we have not
the hotel accommodations of a larg-
er city. There are plenty of good
restaurants and every house in Boise
will be open If necessary. The dele
gates will be met at the trains and
told where to CO.
SHOULD We be able to divide up the
congress and take the delegates for
trip as we intend, we may get an
extra day added so as to take them
to distant parts of the state. In this
way as in no other they will get an
idea of what the reclamation of the
desert means they could obtain in no
other way. We will take them
through the vast fields of alfalfa one
year from the sage brush that will
cut so tons to the acre this year.
Then there are cities of 1000 and
3,OOO people Wnere Two years ago
there was nothing but sage brush. We
also aim to take them to the wonder
full Shoshone falls, the Blue Lakes
ranch and other beauty spots of the
continent.
This is the only convention we
want. Idaho is the center of irriga-
tion work. Why. Snake River and
tributaries can furnish more water
for irrigation purposes than all in
the six nearest states put together.
In the state there is evidence of the
value of the work that can be found
nowhere else. 1t will furnish an OBJ
ject lesson given by none of the for
mer congresses"

He was attended every minute by

to his grave and that statement was
published. DIR. Clark the coroner had

wound was inflicted. He says the
preliminary hearing of the case
against Duff will bring out all the
facts.
Justice Hedden says he hopes that
they will have the preliminary pro-
ceedings by Tuesday but his com
