himself, young and handsome and low
ing and beloved of Celia Long; his
jealousy of Arthur Smith and his wild
outburst when he learned that Celia
has promised to marry the young mis-
sionary. Arthur Smith had gone away
to India and pretty, pale, Celia had
stayed behind. waiting for the sum-
mons to join her lover.
The years had fed and Celia had
grown delicately faded while she
waited.
y Her sister had waited here and there,
placidly content in her single estate
caring for no man and attractive to
none.
Arson had tried to stamp out his
passion for pretty Celia, but now-to-
day-his heart was as bitter as it had
been twelve years ago.
He came out of the wood with set,
white face. and when he reached the
little white house he paused before the
gate. Celia was gone-she was married
and Della was left. He would go in
and talk to Della Long-perhaps they
would talk about Celia.
When the green suffered door open
ed, in response to his knock, Arson
Wood entered and then turned toward
the white faced woman who had adj
mitted him.
1t was Celia Long.
II came to see Della" said Arson
after awhile.
"Why-you know Della has gone
away-shes married and gone away"
said Celia in low voice.
Arson leaned heavily against the
wall 81 thought it was you-you that
was married"
i've never thought of getting mar
ried-Deqia's always been engaged to
Arthur Smith. They're very happy"
Celia's slender figure was trembling
with emotion.
Il asked you--you didn't deny that
you was engaged to him-Pve heard
you singing that song every day.
Arson paused and choked.
81 was very angry that day, Anson-
you don't realize how you spoke to me
and about the song; | sang it for
Delia-she wanted me to, and she can't
sing a note-but she's real sentimental,
and she used to sit on the sofa and
think of the last time she saw Arthur
and
"And what was you thinking about,
Cellar interrupted Arson, with gruff
tenderness. "Who was you thinking
about when you was singing the song
every day-was you thinking about Ar
thur Smith and midas coral strand or
Delia-or who?''
Celia made no reply. Her pretty
head dropped pathetically.
Arson watched her. Gossip had link
ed her name with Arthur Smith. If
Celia was grieving for any man it was
not Arthur Smith! Something beat
heavily within Anson's breast.
"Who was you thinking about. Celia,
all these years" he pleaded tender
ly. His hand touched her shoulder
with sudden confidence.
Celia lifted soft. tear filed eyes to
his. and her shoulder yielded to his
touch.
In another instant their lips met and
Celia haG answered his question.

An Ancient Hair Restorer.

The care of the hair, so far as we
know. begins with Egypt. We are told
that during the reign of Teti Tor Teta),
which was some time between 1000
B. G. and 5000 B. G., a hair restorer
was invented for the mother Of the
king. Manetho credits Teti with
work on anatomy. so he may have been
the author of the tonic. From copy
Of the original. which is supposed to
be the oldest medical recipe, the fol-
lowing translation is made:
"A remedy for restoring the hair. 1t

him all right. If he ever gets out,
cable me at my expense"

CITY MEN PROVE BEST
FRIENDS OF FARMERS

County Commissioner J. S. Phil
HIPS recently addressed the Spo
kane County Township club for a
few minutes on behalf of the board
Of commissioners, and was heartily
cheered when he mentioned the eff
forts being made by the new com.
missioners to see that the taxpay-
ers OF the county get value received
for every dollar of the peoples
money expended.
The new commissioners, by their
policy Of careful inquiry into
county expenditures and their fair
treatment of a townships since the
township organization went into eff
feet, have fulfilled the honest ex-
pectations of the farmers.
The rural taxpayers now feel
that their complaints will receive a
ready ear in the meetings of the
county commissioners and that it
will not be necessary to consult
any boss" before securing assist
ance in road or bridge work.
The peculiar phase of this situa-
ton is that the new commissioners
are city men, while the commits
sioners against whom complaints
have been made are farmers.

GLEN MIGHT
GET FREE BY
FEDERAL PLEA

V. T. Tustin, attorney for Paul
Clein, this afternoon filed two me.
lions in the superior court, one ask
ing for a new trial in the Clein
case and the other praying for an
arrest of Judgment in the case.
The motion for a new trial is
purely formal, filed in order to pro-
tect all of the rights of Clein, but
the motion to arrest the Judgment
is the one on which the hard fight
will be based.
The grounds for this latter mo-
ton are that neither the grand
jury, the prosecuting attorney nor
the court had jurisdiction in the
case, for the reason that the crime
alleged was committed on military
reservation of the United States,
and under the federal law and the
state enabling acts the superior
court is without jurisdiction.
An appeal to the supreme court
of the state will be taken, in case
of an adverse ruling by Judge Web
ster.
Clein's lawyers do not think
there will be much trouble over
the question of fact as to the spot
where Saudawski was murdered, as
the claim is made that the opening
statement of Prosecutor Pugh will
establish this point. Unless there
is proof to the contrary, federal au.
thorities hold that when a dead
body is found on government
ground the death occurred where
hte body was found. Clein's attor-
neys say that in a trial in the fed
eral court the statements of Clein
to the officers will be barred and
that this evidence used against him
in the superior court with good eff
feet will not be available in the
federal court.
Should the state supreme court
decide that the federal court only
has jurisdiction in the case and
send it there after the case has
been tried out in the superior court
of this county, the federal court
would require absolute proof that
| the murder was committed on
strictly federal territory. Failing
in this proof, the case, in the natur
al course of procedure. would be
dismissed and Clein set free, al
though a superior court jury hat
found him guilty under the ex
IRENE penalty. The jury verdict
would have no further effect, a:
the county authorities would lose
jurisdiction the minute the case
was taken by the federal court.
There is no actual proof that the
murder of Saudawski was com
mitted on the reservation, al
though the body was found there

GET YOUR BIKE
TAGGED

Bicycle riders have only till June
10 to get their licenses. After that
all policemen will be instructed to
arrest any man riding an un-
licensed bike. This was decided at
meeting of the bicycle board held
today.
Only 63S bicycle licenses have so
far been taken out This, it is fig
ured, is just about one-fourth of the
number of bicycles inhabiting the
city. Those not having time to get
their license at the city hall will be
permitted to give their fee to the
policeman, who will give them a
certificate good for regular
license tag in return. The tag will
be given out at any time the certifi-
cate is presented.
