Ethel. when he awoke to the
realization Of what her words
meant to him. She had given her
promise. and she did not mean that
anything In the world should make
her revoke 1t. That promise was sacred
to her. just as II 1t had been spoken
before clergyman.
In his heart Pike knew he would
have to give in II he was to make her
happy. and yet he knew that In max
Ing her temporarily happy he would
be making her eternally miserable. III
he could have the strength to hold
out against her and refuse to sanction
the marriage he knew the crew Of
aristocrats would never accept her
without the cash. and thar by the
terms Of John Simpsons will could
never be theirs without his consent.
OF bis own hopes he could see but
the faintest glimmering. He had ir.
retrieyably offended the girl. and she
would hate him all her life for 1t, he
feared. His entrance into her new
phase Of life had been unfortunate
His continuance In 1t was little else
than an insult, according to her way
Of thinking And Jim Cooley. whom
he had trusted to find the flaw In the
Hawcastle escutcheon that he knew
had existed. had failed him miserably.
The lawyer felt that he was long
way from home. He sighed and turned
to where the sun was sinking In a
haze Of red across the buy. Then b.
heard the voice of Horace and chin
Ing with 1t the cultured accents OF
Lord Hawcastle. Apparently they
were coming to seek him. She had
reiterated his refusal.
Wearily he turned again to the au
.tomobile and leaned against 1t. AS he
(; did so he heard Horace say:
But Ethel says Mr.. Pike positively
refuses"

tourists and prospective settlers from

opportunity that should not be

words wherever the occasion presents
itself to turn the attention OF the new

OF their town or county. Such plan,

at the Rose Festival, would be of
immeasurable value In influencing

Furniture and equipment sold
rooms deserted, doorways barred and
padlocked, the Weston Normal School
the first of the schools of the state to
be suspended since the action of the
late Legislature made further active
existence impossible, presents picture
in which friends of educational pro-
gress in Oregon can take neither
pleasure nor pride. That state
which has for years ranked as high
in the educational development of the
United States as has Oregon, step so
deliberately and plainly retrograde
seems almost inconceivable. Never
theless it is to be hoped that the present
dark period is only an epoch in the
growth OF the normal school system of
Oregon, through which it will pass
and emerge to stage of still greater
efficiency in which it shall claim in a
fuller degree the respect and support
which the people Of Oregon as a state
owe to it.
