Cries of "populism" and bankrupt

terday to defeat the voice of the peo-
pie, demanding that the question of
permitting the state to engage in rail-
road construction shall be submitted
to vote in November. 1910. 1t was a
lively fight, and there was only one
vote to spare, for with change of one
vote the result would have been tied
and the amendment lost.

Protection for Women.

In order to make It refer TO wo-

Salem, Ore, Feb. 18.-President
Bowerman Of the Senate is lending his
aid to Speaker McArthur's resolution
submitting to the people the question
Of constructing state railroad. He de-
clares that the time has come to pro-
vide some available weapon for meet
ing the power Of railroad monopoly,
and that the people should have the
right to say whether or not they want
to fill the storehouse with ammuni-
ton. He believes that the Central Ore
gon country should not be allowed to
remain bottled up.
His influence, added to the action of
the House. the favorable report of the
Senate judiciary committee and the
warning sounded in the Governors
message are believed to put the Nc
Arthur resolutions in safe position
in the Senate, although a determined
minority will fight against it to the
end.

CHAPTER XIX.
Helen Takes Me to Task.

FIciCT1 axes NE TO ASK
I paced the breezy terrace at Glen
arm, studying my problems, and STUN
bling into new perplexities at every
turn. My judgment has usually served
me poorly in my own affairs, which 1
have generally confided to Good Luck,
that most amiable of goddesses; and
l glanced out upon the lake with some
notion, perhaps, of seeing her fairy
sail drifting toward me. But there, to
my vexation, hung the Stiletto, scarce
ly moving in the indolent air of noon.
There was, felt again, something sim
lister in the very whiteness of it's
pocket-handkerchief of canvas as it
stole lazily before the wind. Did Miss
Pat, in the school beyond the wall, see
and understand, or was the yacht
hanging there as a menace or stimulus
to Helen Holbrook, to keep her alert
in her fathers behalf?
There are ladies to see you, sir"
announced the maid, and found
Helen and Sister Margaret waiting in
the library.
The sister, as though by prearrange-
ment, went to the farther end of the
room and took up a book
Il wish to see you alone" said Hell
en-, land 1 didn't want Aunt Pat to
know 1 came" and she glanced toward
Sister Margaret, whose brown habit
and nuns bonnet had merged into the
shadows of a remote alcove.
The brim of Helen's white-plumed
hat made a little dusk about her eyes.
Pink and white became her; she put
aside her parasol and folded her I'M
gloved hands, and then, as she spoke,
her head went almost imperceptibly to
one side, and l found myself bending
forward as 1 studied the differences
between her and the girl on the Tippe-
canoe. He1en's lips were fuller and
ruddier, her eyes darker, her lashes
longer. But there was another differ
ence, too subtle for my powers of
analysis; something less obvious than
the length of lash or the color of eyes;
and 1 was not yet ready to give a
name to it. OF one thing I was sure:
My pulses quickened before her; and
her glance thrilled through me as Ros-
alind's had not.
Mr.. Donovan, have come to ap-
peal to you to put an end to this mis-
cradle affair into which we have
brought you. My own position has
grown too difficult, too equivocal, to be
borne any longer. You saw from
my fathers conduct last night how
hopeless it is to try to reason with
him. He has brooded upon his troubles
until he is half mad. And I learned
from him what I had not dreamed of,
that my Uncle Arthur is here-here,
of all places. 1 suppose you know
that"
