Yes; but why do you think ] was

Because the man who was guilty has
confessed and given proof of his crime. "
"Who was it ?"
"Valerius Gabraith."
George Bostoek closed his eyes; his
mind could bear no more and con-
sciousnesS forsook him. Throughout the
remainder of the day and the following
night his symptoms were feverish, but
next morning he was calmer. and his
friend not being there he eagerly asked
the nurse for particulars regarding Val
erius Gaibraiths confession. And they
being given him. he remained silent
and thoughtful, pondering over what he
had heard, dwelling on the mystery that
had surrounded the tragedy, or the part
he had felt prompted to take when be
lieving himself dying, and on the specu-
lations which had perplexed him on rec
ognizing that he was destined to re-
cover.
And meanwhile Olive Dumbarton.

the cruel suspense, terrible anxiety and
mental strain which the tragedy of her
husbands death and its consequences
had laid upon her. broke down the mo-

Prompt and careful treatment alone
saved her from brain lever, but utter
prostration, mentally and physically, re-
maned, and at times she despaircd of
ever regaining her former condition.
So soon as she was able to leave her
rooms she was ordered TO the Riviera
there TO remain until winter had passed,
SO that when George Bostocll had left
the hospital in February she was still
abroad and had by that time almost re-
covered her strength.

1t was in the early summer that
Quinton Quave, looking shy and ner-
vCus, came to tell Olive Dumbarton
that, just having been taken into part
nership by his father, he was now i'll a
position TO marry.
Il heartily congratulate you, Quin-
ton," she said warmly.
oh thank you, thank you," he c~-
claimed, feeling fresh courage to con
tinue. And you know, | hope, there's
only one girl | wish to marry"
Il should be shocked to hear you in
tended TO marry two or three replied
Olive, who could not keep from laugh
ing.
Quinton laughed likewise
Il fear | am rather foolish" he STAN
mered; but what | meant to say was
| love no one, | never have loved any
one, but a-and-and-"
She knows this, | suppose Mrs.
Dumbarton said
"Oh, yes, I'm sure she does; at least
! strove to let her know that cared for
her above every one else"
And do you think SHE loves you;"
Il hope you won't think me coucyi;ad
when | say ! fancy She dos. A.i
that's the reason I've come to ask your
permission to marry her"
Olive Dumbarton leaned back in her
chair, a pensive look upon her face as
She remembered her own early marri-
age.
Il hope you have no objection to me;
that you don't dislike me- Quinton
said, alarmed by the silence which had
succeeded his last speech
No, indeed, Quinton, | like you very
much"
You are awfully good
But you are very young, and Veron-
lea is younger still"
"We grow older every day, you
know" he said as solcmnly as if he
were for the first time asserting a great
truth
"As yet you are a mere boy, and
She a mere girl. and neither of you can
be expected to know your own minds"
"Oh, Mrs. Dumbarton," he replied,
hurriedly, and with a tone of reproach.
Pardon me, but you make mistake.
! am quite resolved to marry Veronica
and no one else. You don't understand
how / love her"
She smiled at his earncstness.
"And ! don't think Veronica will ever
marry any man but me-" he added
proudly "She told me she wouldn't" /"
You have settled it between your"
Practically. We felt sure you, who
have always been so good and kind,
would not stand in the way of our
happiness"
'Nor shall /, Quinton; but want
to tnake. sure your love is not fancy
1t would be terrible thing for the
or both of you to wake some day to the
knowledge that what you thought was

She says we must be engaged for
twelve months before we may marry"
She does? Oh, Quinton, can hard
ly believe it, can your" she said, her
trembling voice ready to break into
tears or laughter.

oagcmcnt yet, you know That always

Must ours?" she asked, posting
prettily even while she raised her
flushed face to his.
A second later she cried out:
"Ah, you have taken three"
What, dearest?"
That we are engaged
Yes, he answered, laughingly-
that's for luck"

the first time since his accident. AS he
entered the room where she awaited
him, she rose fiervotisly and advanced
with outstretched hands, her eyes meet
ing his, her heart too full for utteranee
of what she felt
to steady and corf1mafd how glad he
was they had met again after what
seemed a century, Because of all the
dark kness it had held for both, when she
suddenly interrupted him, for she could
keep no longer Silent:

OF mine can tell you how I feel for what
YOU would have. done, fot the sacrifice
YOU would have made for nie?"
1t was now his turn to remain mute.
but only for second; the opportunity
he desired was given him, and he rapid
ly replied:
"Give me, if you can, your love; it
Is the one thing have hoped for and
desired"
Very calmly, her eyes seeking his, she
said:
IT is yours already"
Miner" he exclaimed in DELIGHT. and
he took her in his arms as if he would
snatch her from all further pain and
shelter her. from care.
While the short afternoon of that
spring day died, they two emptied their
hearts. He told her what he believed
she neither knew nor suspected, how
from the first day he saw her fresh
interest had come into his lonely life,
and out OF this interest had sprung a
love that was to him revelation; told
her of the pride he had felt in her sue
cess, OF the happiness he had found in
her friendship, of the grief he had
known because he was unable to claim
her as his own.

STANDARD OIL
OPENLY DEF|ES
LAW TO CURB IT

Washington, May 20-"Extremely hos
tile reception" "open defiance" intent
to make the law dead letter" hiding
behind technicalities." "circumventing its
provisions and violating the spirit of
the act" are some OF the terms used by
Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner OF
corporations. in describing the attitude
OF the Standard oil company toward the
enactment 10 the interstate commerce
act. passed by congress In June. 1906.
This amendment declares pipe lines en-
gagged I'm interstate commerce to be com
mon carriers and was designed TO put an
end 10 the monopoly exercised by the oil
trust.
The commissioners charges are con-
tained In a report 10 the department OF
commerce and labor on the position OF
the Standard in the oil industry. Mr..
Smith in a letter submitting the report.
says: 'The history and present opera
tion OF the Standard OIL company inter-
ests show throughout the past 35 years
substantial monopolization OF the petro-
leaum industry OF the country a deliber-
ate destruction OF competition and con-
sequent control OF that industry by less
than a dozen men who have reaped enor-
nous profits therefrom."
He adds: THE commercial efficiency
OF the Standard, while very great, has
been consistently directed, not at reduc-
ing prices TO the public and thus main
tanning it's predominant position through
superior service but rather at crippling
existing rivals and preventing the rise
OF new ones by vexatious and oppressive
attacks upon them, and by securing for
itself most unfair and wide-reaching dis
ordinations in transportation facilities
and rates. both by railroad and by pipe
line. while refusing such facilities so far
as possible TO all competitors"
Mr.. Smith says In his report
'If the Standard oil company acted as
a common carrier in the operation OF Its
pipeline system, at reasonable charges the
great advantage which IL now derives from
its control of pipe lines would be very
substantially modified. BY refusing In
general, to thus act as common carrier.
and by charging prohibitory rates when
IL nominally does so, IL gets full advan-
tage OF its virtual pipeline monopoly.
Still another abuse OF it's pipeline IA
cilities by the Standard is the fiat re-
fusal TO sell crude oil to outside refiners.
At first sight IL would appear that the
Standard might sell or decline TO
sell to competitors as II saw fit.
When II is remembered, however. that
the Standard. having a substantial mo-
nopoly OF pipeline transportation, refuses
TO transport oil for others and hence has
become almost the sole buyer OF crude
oil, II will be seen that a refusal to sell
is a direct outcome of the refusal OF the
Standard to perform its dsty 80 the pub
lie and closes the only remaining ave-
nue. by which independent r/iners gen.
orally could get an adequate supply of
crude oil.
ITO ship crude oil to the refineries by
rail is almost invariably too expensive TO
be practicable. IT follows, therefore. that
the Standard Oil company Is sometimes
able actually TO dictate whether or not
independent refiners shall exist.

the increase in railroad facilities and the

JAPAN POURS A
STREAM Of COLD
into THE j. 5.

New York. May 3.-America's indus
trial invasion OF the far east is now In
full swing into the United States for steel
rails. cars and locomotives Twelve mil
lion dollars have already been expended
in this country for railroad supplies to be
used in the construction OF the South
Manchurian railway. and It is now learn
ed that contracts involving millions OF
dollars are pending. Deliveries OF rails
are now being made and for the next
three months steamships chartered by
Japanese will ply across the Pacific. bear
ing valuable eargoes of steel and iron.
Manchuria will be strapped with Amer!-
can steel rails from Dalmy to Mukden,
while the traveller will ride in cars of
American manufacture, drawn by loco
motives built In this country. Thousands
OF dollars have been spent in premiums to
our manufacturers for quick deliveries
for the Japanese insist that these miles OF
railroad, through this great stretch of ag-
ricultural country, must be built and in
full operation within two years.
Japans representatives were told to go
ahead and 10 get the railway supplies at
all cost. Having broken one record last
February when they purchased $4,000
tons Of steel rails at the Carnegie mills
for $3.50 ton. they proceeded to break
another, and brought 1900 tons OF rails
for $29 ton, with the stipulation that the
delivery must begin next month, Steel
rail mills have all the orders that they
can attend to until late in the year. but
the Japanese agents said they must have
the rails and placed their order, though
they paid the highest export price in
many years.
One car company received an order for
1000 freight car trucks, the bodies OF which
will be built In Dalmy. over s2,000,000 have
been spent with American locomotive
building companies and every steamship
departing from Seattle and Pacific ports
has one or more locomotives stored in its
hold. over 200 locomotives have been sold
TO the South Manchuria Railway.
Japanese agents here indicate that S.
100000 will have to be spent for rails in
this country before the railroad In Man
churia is completed.
