Of this match arranged by his father,
and they had laughed over 1t as
typical marriage of convenience mod
eled after the continental pattern. JEFF
ferson, she knew, had never cared for
the girl, nor taken the affair seriously.
Some powerful influences must have
been at work to make him surrender
so easily. Here again she recognized
the mastery hand of Ryder senior, and
more than ever she was eager to meet
this extraordinary man and measure
her strength with his. Her mind, In
deed, was too full Of her fathers trou-
bles to grieve over her own however
much she might have been inclined to
do so under other circumstances, and
all that day she did her best to ban
ish the paragraph from her thoughts.
More than week had passed since
she left. Massapequa and, what with
corresponding with finaneiers, calling
on editors and publishers. every mo-
ment of her time had been kept busy.
She had found quiet and reasonable
priced, boarding house off Washington
square, and here Stott had called sew
eral times to see her. Her corresponds
ence with Mr.. Ryder had now reached
a phase when 1t was impossible to in
vent any further excuses for delaying
the interview asked for. AS she had
foreseen, a day or two after her arriV-
al in town she had received a note
from Mrs. Ryder asking her to do her
the honor to call and see her, and Shir
ley. after waiting another two days
had replied making an appointment for
the following day at o'clock. This
was the same day on which the para

engagement appeared In the society !,

Meantime Senator Roberts, in bliss
full ignorance of this little plot against
his domestic peace, was growing i'm
patient, and he approached his friend
Ryder once more on the subject Of his
son Jefferson. The young man, he
said, had been back from Europe some
time. He insisted on knowing what
his attitude was toward his daughter
If they were engaged to be- married,
he said there should be a public an
nouncement of the fact. 1t was unfair
to him and a slight to his daughter to
let matters hang fire in this unsatisfac-
tory way. and he limited that bSth him
self and his daughter might demand
their passports from the Ryder man
sion unless some explanation were
forthcoming.
Ryder was in a quandary. He had
no wish to quarrel with his useful
Washington ally. He recognized the
reasonableness of his complaint. Yet
what could he do? Much as he him
self desired the marriage, his son was
obstinate and showed little inclination
to settle down. He even limited at at
fractions in another quarter. He did
not tell the senator of his recent inter-
view with his son when the latter
made 1t very plain that the marriage
could never take place. Ryder senior
had his own reasons for wishing to
temporize. 1t was quite possible that
Jefferson might change his mind and
abandon his idea of going abroad, and
he suggested to the senator that per-
haps If he, the senator, made the en-
gagement public through the newspa-
pers 1t might have the salutary effect
of forcing his sons hand.
So few mornings later there ap-
peared among the society notes in sew
eral Of the New York papers this para
graph:
The engagement is announced of Miss
Katherine Roberts, only daughter of SEN
ator Roberts of Wisconsin, to Jefferson
Ryder, son of Mr.. John Burkett Ryder
Two persons in New York happened
to see the item about the same time,
and both were equally interested, al.
though 1t affected them in different
manner. One was Shirley Rossmore.

He went down the porch, aud she
watched him go out of the gate and
down the road until she could see his
figure no longer. Then she turned back
and sank into her CHAIR, and, burying
her face in her handkerchief, she gave
way to torrent Of tears which afford

heart. Presently the others returned
from their walk, and she told them

NORTHWEST AS FRUIT CENTER.

Fruit growers and jobbers are au-
thority for the statement that within
the next ten years the fruit center Of
the United States will be eastern Ore
gon, eastern Washington and Idaho,
where thousands Of acres Of land Is
now being brought into cultivation by
the great irrigation projects and where
the matured plans of irrigation have
demonstrated the wonderful possibili-
the district mentioned.
The statement is made upon the esti-
mate of decrease in the California pro-
4duction, for many years the greatest
fruit producing community in the
world and the crop that has dictated
the markets in all civilized countries.
The shortage in California this year
has advanced the price of all canned
goods rs per cent above the quotations
of a year ago, which were a material
advance over former prices.
An illustration of the decrease in
production is cited in the apricot crop,
the expectation of which win not ex-
coed 40 carloads this year as compared
to $50 carloads last year and 1000 car.
N1oads in 1905.
The prune crop this season will be
from so,O0o,O0O to 1OO,OOO,0O pounds,
while in former years the production
Ehas been from 100. 900 900 to 200, 600, 900
pounds, A feature of the prune mar
ket is the growing demand for the
italian prune which cannot be sue
cessfully cultivated in California, while
all sections of the Northwest are noted
for the extra large size and the fine
flavor produced.
On account of these conditions in
the California fruit districts, where
the continued cold rains of late spring
and the loss during the freshet season
has reduced the export product so ma
terially, it is believed the development
of the fruit industry in the vast ex-
panse Of the inland Empire will change
the fruit center Of the world
The conditions in this country are
regarded as being particularly peeu-
liar by fruit experts. Among the var
ious sections now being converted into
fruit producers are found large areas
where particular varieties thrive best
Jobbers advance the theory that II
remains with the growers to make the
selection of The proper var cites and
within few years each community
will have its canning plant and fruit

rectorate of the roads; the government
would all the time know just what
the roads were doing; it would re-
move the suspicion that now, because
of the agitation, hangs over so many
roads; it would enable many of the
Western roads to double their tracks
and add to their rolling stock; 1t
ought to stop the clamor for govern
ment ownership.
We see no objection to the scheme.
on the other hand, we see how vast
benefit it might be to the country. The
roads are now almost as strong as the
government itself; but with part Of the
directors government officials the ac-,
counts would all the time be under the
supervision of the secretary of COM
merce, and indirectly the people would
be stockholders.
Some new roads must be quickly
built in the West or the old roads
must double their tracks. or there will
be such a volume Of business thrust
upon the roads that they will be over
whelmed
So much doubt has been cast upon
the integrity of most Of the roads that
they cannot borrow the money needed
for improvements. The government
could take stock and pay for 1t in 4
per cent bonds; the roads would pay
more than that interest; there would
be no loss, and the whole country
would know what every road was do
ing and the roads would cease to be
an anxiety to the country, The idea
is a sound one from every point Of

CHAPTER XII.

O1AI al.
~AHE Hon. Fitzroy Bagley had
every reason to feel satisfied
with himself. His affaire de
occur with the senator's
daughterwa progressing more smooth
ly than ever, and nothing now seemed
likely to interfere with his carefully
prepared plans to capture an American
heiress. The interview with Kate Rob-
erts in the library, so awkwardly dis
turbed by Jefferson's unexpected intru-
sion, had been followed by other inter-
views more secret and more successful,
and the plausible secretary had con-
trived so well to persuade the girl that
he really thought the world of her and
that brilliant future awaited her as
his wife that 1t was not long before
he found her In a mood to refuse him
nothing.
Bagley urged immediate marriage.
He insinuated that Jefferson had treat
ed her shamefully and that she owed 1t
to herself to show the world that there
were other men as good as the one who
had Tilted her. He argued that in view
of the senator being bent on the match
with Ryder's son 1t would be worse
than useless for him Bagley) to make
formal application for her hand, so,
as he explained, the only thing which
remained was a runaway marriage.
Confronted with the fait accompl,
Papa Roberts would bow to the inev-
table. They could get married quietly
in town, 60 away for a short trip, and
when the senator had got over his first
disappointment they would be well
coined back with open arms.
Kate listened willingly enough 10 this
specious reasoning. In her heart she
was piqued at Jenterson's indifference,
and she was foolish enough to really
believe that this marriage with Brit
ish nobloman. twice removed, would
be In the nature of a triumph over
him. Besides. this project of an elope-
ment appealed strangely to her frivol-
Gus imagination; It put her In the same
class as all her favorite novel heroinas.

The thought of thee-and in the blue Heavens

And in the sweetest passage of song.
Oh just beyond the fairest thoughts that throng
This breast the thought of thee waits, hid yet

But it must never, never come in sight;
I must stop short of thee the whole day long.
But when sleep comes to close each waking day,
When night gives pause to the long watch keep,

Must doff my will as raiment laid away
With the first dream that comes with the first
