The prospect of the separation, how ever brief, filled Belinda with wretch edness, but pride rallied quickly to her assistance and she put every thought out of her head except that it was going to be lesson to Warren Tempeton that would last him life time, Of course he would either be coming after her in week, or inn ploring her to return to him. But he could not treat her this way. and the sooner he came to his senses, the better 1t would be for him.
 It required less than 30 minutes to make her arrangements and order cab to take her .o the depot. She had dressed herself hurriedly in simple dark travelling suit. with lit tie brown turban resting on her gold curls. A thick veil was designed to effectually conceal her features. As she took up her grip and parasol and started down the stair steps, the maid, coming up with a note. intercepted her.
 Belinda recognized her brother-in- laws handwriting at glance and tore open the envelope with suddenly unsteady hands
 Dear Belinda Warren is down here doing his level best to sink every red cent he's got in some tricky steel jump. I've done all could to get him to quit and go home, but he acts just like A crazy man Unless he turns loose pretty soon, he's gone to smash. If YOU could manage to get him mes sage that you are very Ill, or some thing equally urgent, before he makes any more plunges, l think we might succeed in saving something from the ruins. Yours in haste, BILLY"
 Belinda gasped and turned pale. She was the cause of all this--she! The letter fluttered from her nerveless fingers to the floor. For dazed mo ment. she stood clinging to the banister rail for support while the world went round Then abruptly she ierked herself together and ran down stairs to the telephone and rang up her brother-in-law at his brokers. He answered the summons himself.
 That Billy"
 "Yes-Belinda? He cleared his throat I'm afraid it's too late now to do anything. He's staked every dollar on the thing. and if 1t doesn't take a marvellous rise, he's swamped."
 That means-?"
 Just so; steel was rushing up like fury; Warren got wild-he bought and bought and bought till he'd put every cent he owned in the stock. He couldn't be induced to sell and the things been literally crashing down in the past half-hour. If 1t goes an other half-point lower-."

GAVE UP THE WITNESS.
Very Evidently There Was Nothing
 to Be Got Out of Him.

Two kinds of witnesses are often encountered in courts of justice-the unwilling witness and the too-willing witness Here is one who doesn't seem to come under either category. The prosecuting counsel thus ad- dressed him:
 "Mr. Parks, state, If you please, whether the defendant, to your knowl- edge. has ever followed any profes- sion"
 He has been a professor ever since I have known him"
 tAh. a professor of what?"
 "A professor of religion"
 You don't understand me, MT. Parks. What does he do?"
 Well, generally what he pleases."
 "Mr. Parks, this kind of prevarica- ton will not do here. Now state, sir, how the defendant supports himself
 q saw him last night supporting himself against lamp post
 May it please your lordship, this witness shows an evident disposition to trifie with the court"
 "Mr. Parks" says his lordship state, If you know anything about it, what the defendants occupation is."
 Occupation, did you say, sir?"
 Yes, occupation" said the judge.
 Yes; what is his occupation! !'

But Billy"

Yes, yes. But Billy.
 "Wen?"
 That s2,000 you are holding in trust for me, until I'm 21. If you might-is there any way"
 ''I'll do what I can. Goodby." He hung up the receiver sharply and Be. linda stood pale and panting with her hand on the back of . chair. What if they should, as Billy hinted, lose everything they had! Shed have only herself to blame, and her life would be one long period of sacrifice and re- pentance. Why had she not trusted her husbands sounder Judgment? :? Why had she stung him to despera- tion in this unpardonable way! She felt all at once as though he should never do anything but despise her and that she deserved it.
 While she was still anathematising herself. the phone rang shrilly at her elbow She jerked up the receiver and applied it to her ear
 That you. Belinda"
 "Me-yes Is there anything-tell me quick"
 The colloquy which ensued caused Belinda to pale and redden with al ternating fear and excitement, as she finally got at the truth of the matter by repeated questions and explana tions from Billy.
 The first thing she did was to hurry fnf something light and pretty, It was long after train time: besides, there was no need of going now: the lesson had been learned in a much severer school-and not alone by him.
 Promptly at one o'clock, the gate stairs to the front door and slid back the bolt.
 "Warren,"
 Young Templeton's face was ashen; his eyes were red and his hair. as he pulled off his hat and tossed it on the rack, showed damp and dishevelled. Belinda tried to put her arms about his neck in the old way. but he thrust her aside. Don't touch me- he said hoarsely, I'm not fit to be in your presence" He flung himself dejected- ly into chair and dropped his face in his shaking hands.
 "Why-why, Warren-what is it?' We're ruined he said duly. I've | been dealing in stocks" Belinda leaned over his chair and with her own little warm fingers. | drew his hands from his eyes. It was every bit her fault, yet he was val liantly shouldering the blame-not one word of reproach for herself. Tt doesn't matter. dear. We still have each other-and we shall man age

Belinda Deals By NELLIE GRAVY GILMORE
by Daily Story Pub. Col

The quarrel had been brief but hot. Both had said bitter things they were going to regret, but neither would have acknowledged 1t just then-and neith- CT would have conceded an inch to the other had they hung for their obsti- macy.
 But 1t was not until Warren had flung himself out of the house and banged the gate behind him that Be linda allowed her face to declare the consternation and disappointment she felt; and 1t was not till he had left the little green cottage in the distance that young Templeton began to be conscious of the void in his heart that ached like a physical hurt.
 They had been married exactly IS months. and with $10,000 to start with, Warren Templeton had done nothing more than collect the regular six per cent. interest, quarterly, and plod through the office work six days out of the week at $25! And Belinda was beginning to resent her nus bands easy going stupidity, as she phrased it. Why, there was Billy Creighton, her sisters husband. who had taken half the sum and trebled It in cotton in half the time! It was in vain that Templeton assured her or his inexperience in such matters; she would not listen to his theory Of sate, moderate investment and returns. lie must work his way into the great financial centers and become power there, like other men!
 And so the battle had come about inevitably; she. from her unrsasoning standpoint, he because of his wounded pride and affection.
 When a full hour had elapsed and there was no sign of her husbands returning to make 1t up" Belinda sat down by the window and gave herself up to tears. It was the nrst time in their welded life he had ever ignored her this way. and 1t caused her far keener bangs than the cruel words he had spoken. But after little, she dried her eyes with swift resolution. She would pack her things and go home that very day to her parents in Boston. and let Warren smart a bit for all the vexation he was causing her. When he came home to luncheon at one he should realise that there was an equal amount ot spunk on both sides.

1t is probable, " the report says, that
for all lubricating ellis bought from the
standard by all the railroads in the
United States, the excess in their nav
ment over the fair market value amounts
to considerably more than 100000 a
year"
The reason why the railroads of the
country submit TO the excessive prices
charged by the Standard oil Company is
explained by Commissioner Smith in the
concluding paragraph CT the report.
In all the material gathered on this
subject he says. there IS nothing to
indicate a legitimate business reason WHY
the railroads OF the country should nav
the Standard S2.0o00o0 per year more for
lubricating oils than they would have to
pay to other concerns for oils of the
same quality. 1t seems fair TO conclude
that II Is by reason Of its influence as a
large shipper, taken with the general in
fuence ia financial circles. that the
Standard Oil Company has been able 10
obtain monopoly OF the trade I'm rail-
road lubricants regardless of price.
There appears to be nc reason why
the railroads should fail TO take advan-
tage OF competitive conditions. except the
suggested connection between these con-
tracts and the distribution OF freight
traffic by the Standard Oil Company. to-
gether with the use OF its general fnan-
cial power
Troy weekly news. (Troy, Idaho) 1897-1933, 1907-01-04

In view Of recent events the News
is firmly convinced that some radical
changes in our criminal laws ought to
be made. Where insanity is plead as
a defense, and the jury acquits on that
ground, such a plea should be tanta-
mount to an admission Of guilt and
bring to the accused a life sentence
in the state penitentiary. If murderers
knew that plea Of insanity meant life
imprisonment the popularity Of such
defense would rapidly diminish. And
when such a sentence is passed the
power Of pardon should be taken from
the governor. If Sloane were thus Sc
curely locked behind grated bars nc
protest would be going up from ar
outraged public.

county in Idaho, and besides all that,
Latah is perhaps The only county in
the state that is absolutely out Of debt.
II we are not satisfied let us draw con-
ISOLATION from the thought that Latah
county taxpayers might be great deal
worse of. For example we know Of
two homesteaders, one living just in
side Latah county on the eastern side
next to Nez Perez, and his annual tax
Is in the neighborhood Of S12. Just
over the county line in Nez Perez his
neighbor, with no better land, pays

Troy weekly news. (Troy, Idaho) 1897-1933, 1907-01-04

The records Of the past year show
that no industry in Idaho has paid
more profits than the mines OF our
state, and yet this industry is not be-
ginning to pay anything like fair and
equal tag. Under the present net out
put law the men, many of them mil
lionaires, living in luxury in other
states, who own cur valuable mines,
are enjoying exemption from taxation
that amounts to more than tenth OF a
million dollars every year. 1t Is an
outrage and a burning disgrace that
the law, in its present form, was ever
written upon our statute books, ano
that it is permitted to remain there Is
a reflection on the good sense OF the
men of our state. The mining inter
ests of Idaho are in no way objects o
pitv. nor are those holding stock IL
them entitled to tax exemption.

The citizens Of Troy have certainly
much to rejoice over when they con-
template the future or review the year
just past. No Inland Empire town
has, during the past twelve months,
enjoyed greater prosperity, nor have
many towns made so much real mater
ial advancement. The beginning OF
1906 found many Of our best business
men filled with fear and apprehension
over the towns future, because rail-
road was building into the undeveloped
territory on our north. 1907 finds
these same businessmen either building
or preparing to build substantial brick
blocks. They have found that instead
OF hurting Troy the development Of
tributary territory is increasing trade
and helping business in every line
Troy now has the reputation OF being
the biggest little town on earth anc
there is no reason to believe our tow
will not continue to live up to its rep
utation.
