and the roar of traffic sounded
duly except when pierced by the
vail of the fre-engiue and the
crashing bells Of its tender.
The big man s gray head droop-
ed. It's always like that, he said,
as though to himself. IT was your
sweet face and goodness and
I think the love cry of your vio-
lin. Have you got it here9
Yes. Would you Ilike to hear
me play now? It was pathetic
impulse to bring comfort. He
nodded and switched off the
lights, except the cluster above
his desk.
Eva had her violin now. Stand.
ing up in the faint glow, her firm
hand awoke the thrilling chords
of Mascagni's 'tIntermezzo, = full
of infinite tears and soft pleading
and passionate regret.
Andrew Jarman bowed his
head Thank you, my dear, he
said at length, in almost his old
genial voice. Will you forgive an
old man his foolishness?
She could not reply. Tinidly
she held out her hand, and he
took it in silence.
Unjust do something for YOU
and him, he said quietly, You
deserve to be happy. and it is SO
little of good one can do. Tell me
his name.
Alcot Robson had risen and
glided to her side and put his
hand in hers. He is here, sir, he
said.
For moment Andrew JAR
mans knowledge of men and
things was nonplussed. Wha-a
at? he draWled out, his voice ris-
ing in amazement.
Turn on the light, Alcot, Eva
said. It's true, Mr.. Jarman. turn
ing toward him, and in the bright
light her sweet face fairly glow
ed. We have been engaged for
two months.
But, Robson, why didn't you
tell me? Why did you let me tor
ture the girl like this?
Itdid no harm, sir. I think it
did us all good, in fact. I'm
prouder than ever of her. And
his usually ;mpassive face turned
to his sweetheart's with an i'm
pulse of grateful and triumphant
love, such as carried a pang to
the old mans heart.
Well, forgive me, both of you,
You're a fine chap, Robson, and
you're surely fortunate in your
love. He had grown strangely
soft and serious.
Miss Parker, he said, Tgot you
a valentine-won't you take it
from me? Oh. please! he begged,
as the girl drew back withdilating
eyes. At least do me this one
favor won't you? Robson, I mean
it. he said. A rich man can do
much to give happiness to others,
if not to himself. Man you've
served me well, and kept my
counsel. Miss Parker, you will
take my valentine?
And he took up the cash-b box,
engagement ring and all. The
three glorious, blne-white stones
blazed joyously. She shot a
glance at her lover, almost comic |
in its desire and perple4ity. |
We must be going home, Mr..
Jarman said quietly It's late,
and growing chilly. He put the
box in the girls arms, stopped
and kissed her hair, and |
then walked quietly out.

STORAGE APPLES ARE TESTED
Yakima Cold Storage Fruit and We
natchee Stock Are Used.

A test is to be made by Seattle COM
mission firms as to whether it is bet
ter to ship dry storage apples or cold
storage apples to Alaska. The Ryan
Newton Co. of Seattle have sent car
of dry storage apples and a car of cold
storage fruit to Alaska and has made
arrangements with the firms who re-
ceive the stock to report to them as
to which is received in the best con-
dition and as to the taste of the fruit.
The first car will be shipped from
Wenatchee and the second from Yak
ina. The point at issue has never
been decided satisfactorily and the
test has awakened much interest.
1t was thought by many of the
fruit experts that the late rains would
cause the death of the catapillars
that infest the fruit belts of Oregon
