Prehistorfe california; CITY.

What is considered to be the most
important archaeological f1nd yet
made in the state of California took
place recently when man discovered
the ruins of prehistoric city in the
San Jacinto mountains, near the edge
of the Cochella valley. There are
more than 700 well-preserved stone
houses, evidences of paved streets and
large amount of earthenware. The
discoverer's attention was first at.
tracted to the place by number of
gashes in the mountain side, and on
Investigation he found a series of
heaped-up stones. He approached
nearer and found the streets of an an
cient city, the houses being built on
terraces. An old road was found to
lead from the city to the top of a
nearby peak, on which was found the
stone ruin Of what seemed to have
been q watch tower.-The Pathfinder.

1T is common cause of complaint

"On the continent they consider the
best means to this end is to don domi-

"You can have no idea," said . man
who has formerly been guide about
Washington, "as to the sights many
strangers who visit this city want to
see, and all within q few hours of
time. One thing that made an i'm
preston upon me was that the great
majority consider It time lost IL they

the government makes its bonds and

rytng handbag and accompanied by
a little boy, approached me and cour-
teously asked me the names of the in.

pleasure in telling him.
"Then he pointed to the treasury
department, where 1t fronts on F
street, and, of course, told him that
from the west portico he would have
good view of the White House and
other great buildings. All this seemed
very good to my newly met friend, and
he asked me If it we're in the treasury
that the bank notes we're made. I told
him about the bureau Of engraving and
printing, and he made up his mind to
take that for his objective point righht
away. I suggested that he get guide,
but he said he knew a man in the
treasury and would hunt him up and
get him to go with him.
"He further told me that while he
had only a few hours to pass in Wash
ington, he wanted to have his son, who
was a little fellow about ten years
old, to see the government making
money.

CHAPTER XIII.
The Breaking Point.

Stephen Ruthen stared almost in
credulously at the letter the old serv.
ant Martha gave to him as he came
downstairs, that she had found lying
on the hall table addressed to him.
Martha had recognized the writing
as Miss Vanstone's. and it puzzled her
that guest staying in the house
should write note to the rector,
when they would meet, if not at
breakfast-for Olive never came down
to enthusiastically in the course
of the morning. So she handed it to
the rector as he was coming down
stairs, instead of leaving it by his
plate on the breakfast table with the
letters that had come by post.
Stephen looked up from the few
lines and turned quickly to Martha,
who had noticed with surprise how
white his face had gone, as If about
to speak. His first impulse had been
to send Martha up to Olives room;
but he checked the impulse. He knew
that what was written there on the
sheet before him needed no confirma-
tion.
Olive had left the rectory without
a hint or word except these written
lines-had stolen away stealthily late
last night. That was what his letter
told him two mornings after that
scene by Philip Hume's grave.
"By the way, sir, think I ought to
tell you l came down and found the
back door unlocked this morning. l
can't understand it, for 1 know l lock-
ed it before l went to bed," the serv-
ant paused to say.
He wondered If she connected the
facts in any way with the letter that
she must see had startled him; he
scarcely knew what reply he made;
he walked into the breakfast room
with the lstter in his hand.
She must have stolen down from her
room, out from. the house, quietly as
a mouse, last night about II o'clock.
after he had gone to his room. 1t had
struck him that he heard the sound OF
motor car stopping near the rectory
gate-had 1t been to meet Olive
She could not have walked to the sta
i't:on.' The remembrance of that ca,
came back to him with sudden sig
nificance now.

Mrs. Taft had a good time when she
was growing into womanhood and she
has evidently not forgotten the pleas.
ures of those days. She keeps young
people around her whenever it is pos.
sible to do SO.
Like her distinguished husband, Mrs
Taft delights in good play and has
been a constant theater goer in the
last month. Uusually she is accom-.
panied by the president, who rarely
permits his official duties to interfere
with an evening with Mrs. Taft.
Personally Mrs. Taft is a woman
who has accomplished theachievement
of being q successful official hostess

this woman he had sinned for; this
was her gratitude. Nothing could
have wounded him more deeply than
this manner Of her going. Az once
before, three years ago, she had gone
away, so she had gone now.
With whom had she gone? She had
not gone alone. Without money It
YVES impossible she could have gone
alone. Besides. he remembered the
sound of that car that had stopped
not far from the gate. She had not
gone alone. Her words came back to
him as he stood with the letter in his
hand the words she had flung at him
almost like taunt by Philip Hume's
grave: "Oh. am sick Of parsonages,
of the weary, humdrum routine Of du-
ties!" Was that why she had gone ?
No hint in those few lines she had
written. Gone.
He turned as Hilda entered the
room. Without word he handed the
letter to her. She read It and looked
up with startled face.
eyes," he said, quietly, reading the
inquiry that her silent look expressed.
"she went last night. About eleven, I
believe. Martha found the back door
unlocked. And-I think heard q
motor car outside the rectory about
eleven; don't know-I may be mis-.
taken," he said, wearily. "But she
would not have walked to the station
at that hour-could not have done it,
of course. She says in this note she's
going to London. The night train
leaves at half past eleven. We may
be sure she went by that"
What shall you do, Stephen" said
Hilda.
He made a weary movement Of his
shoulders.
what can do? She's her own
mistress" Then he turned with a
sudden gleam in his face, a sudden
nervous vehemence that startled her.
I'VE won't speak of her again-this
woman! She isn't worth it,"
Stephen was pacing the room like
a trapped animal padding up and
down its cage behind its bars.
"SEe's not worth it," he said again,
speaking to himself, as If in the long
tension of his racked nerves the
breaking point had been reached at
last-and with it sudden determine
tion, born of the realization that the
woman he had loved, that ideal he
had set up years ago on the altar of
his heart, had never existed in reality.
He saw that now. saw her at last with
eyes striped Of glamour. This woman
he had lied for, sinned for-she was
not worth his sin, his silence.
Stephen glanced across at Hilda.
Hilda's lover was in exile, a hunted
man, because of his guilty silence.
But the silence must end. The
breaking point had come; the load
had become too intolerable to be
bornen this woman herself for whom
he had borne it had made it at last
intolerable.
"The time for silence is over" he
whispered to himself. And Hilda,
watching his face anxiously, saw that
he clenched his hands like a man
who has come to some sudden deter
mination. "The TRUTH must con-
fess the truth now!"
