Besides, nobody who knows you will
ever believe such story as that M
own life will contradict the lie, and
Tandy's reputation Is not OF kind t'
lead sensible people to believe his false
hood when you have set the ruth
against II. You are depressed and de-
spondent now. The mood Is unworthy
Of you
'Tell me what should do.'
First Of all you should act like the
brave. strong man that you are. You
should either take this slander by the
throat and strangie II by publishing
simple, direct statement Of the facts,
or you should ignore II altogether as q
thing too absurd to need even denial.
Wait till You see what Captain Hallam
and Mr.. Temple succeed in doing and
then act as seems best. But, in any
case, you must be strong and coura-
geous. No other mood belongs to such
a man as you"
| Duncan looked her full In the face
for space before speaking. Then he
said:
"And yet you say you have no gift to
help me-that II you were my wife you
would be drag upon me, Oh. Bar
bara. you cannot know how greatly
need the strength that the sympathy
and counsel OF such woman as you
are must give to the man who loves
and wins her. You have In this hour
rescued me from dependency; you
have made me strong again; you have
shown me my duty and inspired me
with resolution to do 1t manfully.'
Il am very glad" she answered.
Then promise me you will stand by
my side always. Let me give you the
right to help. Say that you viii be
! my wifer
His voice was full of tender plead
Ing, and for moment the girl hesitat-
sd Finally she said:
II think know how to answer now,
but you mustn't interrupt. l feel as
though couldn't stand much this even
Ing"
II will not interrupt am too eager
to hear"
Il think have a plan for you and
me. still think what thought be-
fore when said no. | still think you
ought TO marry woman that you
need never be ashamed to introduce
as your wife. II | were sure of my
capacity to make you happy, not just
for little while, but throughout all
your life, would say yes to the ques-
tons you have asked. But mustn't
make any mistake that might spoil
your life, and so must not say yes
just now, at least, and you will not let
me say no. am still very young, as
you know. You, too, are young enough
to wait So think we'll leave both
the yes and the no unsald for long
time to come--for year, perhaps-long
enough, at any rate, for both of US to
find out which of us is right. During
that time we must be the very best of
friends. You must tell me everything
that concerns you, so that may prac-
tlce helping you and find out whether
| can really do II or not. Ii you find
that can't you shall be perfectly free
to 90 away from me. II l find that
can't then I'll say mo- and stick to It."
Duncan was disposed to plead for
better terms, but the little lady had
fully made up her mind and would ac-
cept no modification of the treaty.
As they were ON the point of parting.
Barbara, with something like strug-
gle, made an addition to the compact.
IF that slander sticks to you, Gull
ford, I'll marry you at once and give
It the lie."

to attain twin-city interest.

been entertained by railroad men, that
eventually the road would be link

AUTOISTS IN INTEREST OF TRI-
STATE HIGHWAY MAKE TRIP IN
EIGHT PLUS HOURS. .>~. '"|

Working in the, interest of the pro-
posed tri-city highway between the
twin cities and Duluth, G. H. Davis of
Cloquet took party of six in his au-
tomobile from" Cloquet to st. Paul in
eight and half hours, following close
ly the proposed route. This test, made
a month ago, was so successful that w.
J. Power Of Duluth will make the trip
this week in his locomobile and Mr..
McHugh may accompany him in a Hols-
man. H. J: Lang Of Wyoming made the
last August. He drove a one-cylinder
Rambler on the first trip and one
cylinder Cadillac touring car on the
second.
On. his >trip Mr.. Davis followed the
route laid out by the tri-city highway
committee except from Rush City. to
White Bear. He went via North
Branch and Wyoming, while the COM
mittee recommended from Rush City
via Sunrise, Center City, Scandal and
Witherow to White Bear. On account
of the poor road between Pine City
and Hinckley the. old military road
All these parties report the. roads as

Parish Of Sandstone has made special
effort to, put the atriccity highway II

roads in and out of Sandstone are like
good macadam streets. Road supervis

Pc SITE CHANGE
NARROWING DOWN
PREFERENCE LIES BETWEEN MIL.
WAUKEE AND UNION STATIONS.
Pence Site. Favored by Commercial
Club, Is Not Out Of It. but Wash
ington Inclination Is Toward Block
40 or Block 20, South Of Nicollet
Avenue.

Developments at Washington regard
ing the new Minneapolis postoffce site
lend color to the probability that the
choice lies between blocks 40 and 20,
altho the Pence operahouse block,
known as block %, and Endorsed by
the Commercial club and other organi-
cations, cannot be said to be out Of
Block 40 lies between Second and
Third avenues. s, Washington avenue
and Second street, across Third avenue
from the Milwaukee railroad station.
Block 20 is bounded by First and Sec
ond avenues s, First and Second streets,
opposite one site which has been sug-
gested for the new union station.
w. w. Jermane, in telegraphic cor
respondence today from the Washing
ton bureau to he Journal, says
that data about cost and options on
some property in the blocks under con-
sideration were received only a few
days ago by Supervising Architect j..
Knox Taylor at Washington. which ac-
sfs9t on fot the the fep Ss Mr. N ft Se es

the Minneapolis site question to the
secretary of the treasury, Leslie M.

ment, however; no announcement will
port is submitted, This rule was adopt
ed as to all cities in order to give

$35O,OO0. In fact they all run consider
ably over that, figure, altho the exact
! estimate placed on each by Mr.. Taylor
cannot be learned. The blocks in ques
ton, as has been stated in TIL {
J O u al, are -. numbered 40, 49,
20 and 25. The public affairs committee
of the Commercial club, acting for the
Department. has been fortunate in get
ting options on about Is per cent of the
property in blocks 40 and 20, but only
about 35 per cent of the Pence block
and on none of the property in block 80
in which the st. James hotel stands.
Probable Choice.
In view of this state Of the negotia
tions Mr.. Jermane places the probable
choice between blocks 40 and 20, a.
stated, altho the Pence blocks ad

Mr.. Taylor, at Washington, preserves
the attitude toward the question whicl
