In his office. always rejoicing In the l fact that he found him there at the time. He watched the mail fin the l morning; he planned to go out of nights and then hurried home delib- erately, but unexpectedly, Through 1t | all he said no word to Frances Cable or Jane. He asked no questions, but he was being beaten down by appre- hensions all the while.
 His wife's manner convinced him that all was not well with her. She avoided being alone with him. keeping close to her room. He detected hun dred pretexts by which she managed to escape his simplest advances. At last, overwrought by the strain. he began to resort to cunning-this man who was big enough to have gone from the engine cab to the presidents office. It required hours of struggle with his fairer nobler nature to bring himself low enough to do trickery, but the natal influence mastered. He despised himself for the trick, but he would know the truth.
 The late afternoon mail one day brought to Mrs. Cable a brief letter. typewritten both inside and out. Da- vid Cable saw her open and read the missive. and he saw her trembling hand go to her throat and then to her temple. Her back was toward him. He could not see her face until she turred, full minute later. Then it was calm and undisturbed, but her eyes were brilliant He ground his teeth and tore upstairs without a word. David Cable had stopped low enough to write this letter. and he was paying for it.
 He knew the contents far better than she knew them. The letter purported to be an urgent appeal from James Bansemer. asking her to meet him at 8 o'clock that night. It said:
 must see you tonight. Leave your homo at o'clock for short call on Mrs. w.. just around the corner. l will meet you across the Drive. near the sea wall. It is quite dark there. ].
 David Cable did not know that ear Her in the afternoon James Bansemer had called her up by phone to say that he intended to speak to his son the following day unless word came to him from her. nor could he have pos. sibly known that she was now deter mined to tell the whole story to her husband and to trust to his mercy. He only knew that he had written the letter and that he had told her of his intention to go downtown immediately after dinner.

 In the lives even of the best men there are moments when the human in- stincts are annihtlated and supplanted by those of the beasl. Likewise have there been instances in which the bray est have been tried in the furnace and found wanting, while, conversely, the supposedly towards have proved to be heroes. Therefore since no two situa- tons can occur at different time and yet have precisely similar conditions, 1t behooves us to forbear judging, lest we be judged, and to approach the fol- lowing incident In this mans career as if we ourselves dwelt under a covering of glass.

LARGE INCREASE IN CUT OF GOVERN
MENT TIMBER

Uncle Sans National forests yielded
an increase of 102 per cent in timber
last year over the record for 1907, giving
returns of $849. OF. "a to the government.
Twenty-Five per cent of this amount
went back to the states in which the
forests are located in lieu OF taxes. in
accordance with the provisions of the
law. This revenue will be added to the
states fund for the support and main
tenance of roads and public schools.
The amount of. timber cut from all
the National forests was 1872, 1872, 600
feet, board measure, as against 1874, S72,-
600 feet given away to settlers, schools
and churches under free use" permits.
This increase of 102 per cent shows a
far better use and increasing productive
ness of the forest under conservative
methods of cutting. There was a marked
increase in small sales last year, result
ing in an increase of 236 per cent in the
number of sales, Notwithstanding the
fact that the timber contracted for was
far less in the aggregate than in 1907.
In making timber sale the forest ser
vice seeks small in preference to large
sales. and aims to safeguard a supply
for future needs rather than to swell the
immediate receipts. Were it desired,
the present receipts from timber sales
could be quickly doubled. During the
year it was found necessary in the in
terests of a continued supply to restrict
sales on many forests. Nevertheless,
use of the National forests as a source
of timber supply was more general than
ever before.
The total receipts from timber sales
each year have been as follows: 1905.
$50, 1856. 81; 1906. $245, o13. 40; 1907,
1868, s13. IL; 1908. $s49. OF. "a.
Payment for timber is always required
in advance. In large sales, however.
and in small sales on occasion. payment
is made in installments 70 arranged as
to protect the government against loss
without imposing unnecessarily severe
burdens upon the purchases. Thus the
receipts of each year represent substan.
