several errors with timely hits gave

Hickey set his face against the allure

rendered him quite indisposed for con-
vivial dalliance. Even the sight Of

a large soiled bandana with grim
abandon.
At such times his face would be up

finites beyond the pale moon-smitten
sky. And he would sigh profoundly
not the furnace sigh of a lover think

and moving sigh of the man of years
and cares who has drunk deep Of that
cup of bitterness called Unappreciated

In the a1coye the girl waited, torn
in the throes Of incipient hysteria; at
first too weak from reaction and re-
vulsion of feeling to do anything other
than lean heavily against the wall and
fight with all her strength and will
against this crawling, shuddering,
creeping horror of nerves, that threat

seriousness, and her reason.
But insensibly the tremor wore It.

but mistress of her thoughts and ac-
tons. And she dropped with gratitude
into a chair bending an ear attentive
to the war of words being waged In
the room beyond the portieres.
At first, however, she failed to grasp
the import of the alteration. Ard
when in time she understood its trend.
1t was with incredulity, resentment,
and dawning dread lest a worse
thing might yet befaIl her, worse by
far than aught that had gone before.
But to be deprived Of his protection,
to feel herself forcibly restrained from
the shelter of his generous care!
A moment gone she had been so
sure that all would now be well with
her, once Maitland succeeded in rid
ding himself Of the police. He would
shut the door and-and then she would
come forth and tell him. tell him

The door closed behind the over
whelmed nighthawk, and the latch
clicked loudly For q space Maitland
stood in the hallway, troubled, appre-
hensive, heart strangely oppressed,
vision clouded by the memory of the
girl as he had seen her only few
minutes since; as she had stood be-
meath the chandelier, after acting
upon her primary clear-headed impulse
to give her rescuer the aid Of the
light.
He seemed to recall very clearly her
slight figure, swaying, a-quiver with

seemed that he should fear to face her
again, alone, that he should linger re-
luctant to cross the threshold of his
study, mistrustful and afraid alike OF
himself and of her-a thief.
For what should he say TO her,
other than the words that voiced the
hunger of his heart? Yet if he
spoke words such as those
toto a thief what would be
the end of it all?
What did 1t matter? Surely he,
who knew the world wherein he lived
and moved and had his being, knew

stepped into the study, resolved.

The silence sang sibilant in his

UTAH RATE CASE
COMES Up SOON
All Members of Interstate
Commission Will Be Here in
October to Sift Facts.

Washington. D. C., Aug. 15.-The inter
state commerce commissions hearing in
the famous Utah rate case will be held
in salt Lake early in October. and, on
account of the fact that this is regarded
as the most important case yet brought
before that body, the full commission VIII
be in Salt Lake for the hearing
The announcement of the time for the
hearing was made by the commission
today. although it will be impossible to
set the exact date until plans of the COM
mission are further perfected.
This case, which was brought by the
Salt Lake Commercial clubs traffic bu-
reau I'm behalf of the people Of the state
of Utah, has attracted wide attention
throughout the east and middle west. and
il is expected that commercial bodies in
other cities viii seek to intervene in be
half of the Utah shippers when the case
comes before the commission.
The first move on the part of the rail-
roads in fighURg this case was to grant
a few reductions I'm rates TO Utah points,
correcting two or three of the most glar-
ing Inconsistencies I'm their discrimination
against the shippers in the intermOuntain
country. Their next move was to en-
deavor to have the Utah case merged
with several other complaints made by
cities Of the west This was unsuccessful,
however. as is shown by the announce
ment that the Utah case viii be heard
on its merits and before all Of the MEM
bers Of the commission.
