ONLY ONE OASIS IN
1900 SQUARE MILES

Spokane, Dec. 1S.-Kiona, an unin-
corporated town in Benton county,
Washington, southwest of Spokane,
has the only saloon in territory en-
bracing 1900 square miles. Ten sa-
looms thrived in the district before the
local option law became effective a
short time ago. 1t is given out that
the county commissioners will not re-
new the license, thus making the ter
ritory between Granger and Kenne-
wick, Is miles, the largest "dry" dis
trict in Washington. Scores of towns
in Spokane, Stevens, Whitman, Lin
coin, Kittitas, Yakima, Adams, Grant
and Garfield counties voted dry at
the recent election. The town of Gran
ger was granted a license as an in
ducement to secure a rst-class hotel.
There are many in eastern Washing
ton who believe that the time is not far
distant when practically every town
in the state of Washington will be in
the "dry" column, and that eventually
the cities will join with them. The
liquor interests are not sparing them
selves in an effort to retain their hold
on the cities, and it cannot be said
they left anything undone at the last
town elections.

CHAPTER XVII.
Mrs. saville walked to her special
armchair. and. taking Prince into her
lap, stroked him mechanically, az was
her wont when she was thinking.
So that was the fools attraction
she mused. Il ought to have suspect
cd 1t, but I did not, or l should have
sent him about his business. It il nat
ural enough that tho father and moth
or should be annoyed; but she IL too
good for him-a great deal too good.

flown notions. We cannot defy tho
Judgment and prejudices Of the world
We live In; obscurity and insignifi-
canoe are abhorrent to most sane peo-
pie. Yet it Is impossible to doubt her
sincerity; and sne Is common-sensical
enough. Can 1t be that she is wise
and I am unwise?" Here Mrs. Sa-
Vile put her little favorite on the car
pet and again rang tho bell. This time
she desired that Hiss Desmond should
be sent to her.
II think shall 60 out and do some
shopping" she said, when Hope ap-
peared. II do not walk enough. l

Miss Dacrs came begging that You
might be lent to her for the day. This
l refused. Then came Lady Olivia, In

At all events. she shall not trouble
me any more. I think we have had
enough of Paris. Richard is coming
over next week. As soon as lie leaves.
l shall go away to quaint little place
on the coast of Normandy, and recruit.
1t will be very dull; but you are used
to that"
II rarely feel dull" returned Hope,
who secretly wondered why Mrs. Sa-
vile had Quarreled with her sister-in-
law. She was too decided, too pexemp-
tory a woman to be quarrelsome.
Could it be for any reason connected
with herself? Lumley said he had
communicated his intention to propose
for her (Hope) to his father. This, no
doubt, would have enraged his fam
lily; but she could not ask any ques-
lions. Indeed, she was thankful to
'let sleeping dogs lie." She had many
anxieties pressing on her young heart.
A very cloudy and uncertain future
lay before her. 1T is hard. she
thought, that, however good and true
and loving woman may be, If not
rich she is thought unworthy to be tho
helpmate Of wealthy, well-placed
man; any poor, struggling nobody is
good enough for her Yet 1t Is among
the struggling nobodies that the finest
fellows are often found: so things
eQualize themselves"

Managua, Dec. 1S.-Jose Santos re-
laya has resigned from the presidency
of Nicaragua.
Apparently there was no otner
course to take. The people were
aroused at last. The guns of the rev.
olutionists threatened. The warshlps
of the United States lay in Nicaraguan
ports.
Managua has been seething for days.
The spirit of revolt has spread even TO
the gates of the palace. Zelaya has
surrounded himself with an armed
guard. Unchecked, the populace has
marched through the streets, crying
for the end of the old and proclaiming
the new regime.
Ruled sternIy Sixteen Years.
Jose Santos Zelaya has been in COM
mand of the republic OF Nicaragua for
sixteen years. He ruled with strong
hand, and has been called the stormy
petrol of Central America. He was al
ways noted for his cunning and brav-
cry, and was remarkable, too, for his
ability to surround himself with those
who were ready to do his bidding. AS
a consequence, Zelaya, in later years,
was an absolute dictator. He amassed
wealth by taking large percentages OF
the profits from concessions and by
forming a group of men who aided him
in exacting millions from the people.
Zelaya belongs to aristocracy of his
country. He received his education in
Paris, but his success was due more to
the sword than to the peaceful meth
DDS of civilization. Zelaya is 81 years
old, and as he is the most hated man
in South or Central America, the Won
der is that he managed to live so long.
Innumerable attempts have been made
against his life, and in these emergen-
cies his bravery has stood him in good
stead.
When comparatively young Zelaya
began an agitation against the govern
ment and was expelled. He went to
Guatemala, then ruled by Barrios. He
obtained service in Barrios' army, and
after fighting for several years reap
peared in his own country at the head
of band of insurgents. He gathered
strength as he went, and battled his
way to the presidency.
Zelaya's wealth is said to be enor-
nous. He owns coffee plantations,
and collects on exclusive rights on
many industries. The present revolt
in Nicaragua began early last month
and came as climax of series OF
prosecutions inaugurated by Zelaya, in
which the execution of the Americans,
Cannon and Groce, was the most SER
ious feature.

CHAPTER XVI.

To Hope Mrs Saville made no sign,
and she remained in complete ignor-
ance that her acute patroness had
been nearer Of Lumley's avowal.
There was something increasingly
kind and confidential, however, In her
tone and manner. Hope was greatly
relieved by having thus disposed of
her admirer. That worry was at an
end; another, however, still remained.
Miss Dacre's feelings and magma
ton were greatly exercised by the
sudden disappearance of George Lum-
ley from the scene, and she grew quite
ravenous for Hopes society, that she
might wonder and conjecture and
maunder about his mysterious con-
duct, and cross-examine Hope as to
what she thought might, could, would,
or should have caused him thus sud-
denly to throw up the game which
Miss Dacre chose to think he was
playing so eagerly-viz., the pursuit OF
herself-till she made her hearers life
q burden to her.
II don't know what you do to Miss
Desmond when you have her out by
herself" said Mrs. Saville to the
young heiress one afternoon, when
she had called to know If dear Mrs.
Saville would spare Hope Desmond to
take a drive with her and stay to az
ternoon tea, "but she always comes
back looking white and tired, quite
exhausted; and l will not spare her,
Miss Dacre. l want her myself. If
you are always taking her away, you
had better keep her."
Il am sure l shall be delighted. I
want nice lady-like companion lit
tie older than myself, to go about with
me and"
"A little older than YOURSELF"
laughed Mrs. Saville. II suspect she
is two years your junior. Well. take
her, If she will 60"
Indeed, Mrs. Saville, think you
would do better with an older person,
some one nearer your own age"
II am much obliged for your kind
consideration. Yes, of course Miss
Desmond has rather a dull time with
me. Suppose you make her an offer
in writing"
yes, of course could; that Is, If
you would not be offended"

Then of course you will get her,"
