We sat there, the three of us, with

trude and I recognized the futility Of
asking Louise any questions; her
reticence was part of a role she had
assumed. Our ears were strained for

turned into the drive and commenced

1t seemed a long time before the
creaking vehicle came to stop at the
door. Louise rose and stood watching,
her hand to her throat. And then
Gertrude opened the door, admitting
Mr.. Jameson and a stocky, middle
aged man. Halsey was not with them.
When the door had closed and Louise
realized that Halsey had not come,
her expression changed. From tense
watchfulness to relief, and now again
to absolute despair, her face was an
open page.
"Halsey?" I asked unceremoniously,
ignoring the stranger. did he-not

"No." Mr.. Jameson looked slightly
surprised. II rather expected the

SCHOOL LANDS FOUGHT FOR

ELLENSBURG, Wash, April s.
State school lands that were offered for
sale two years ago without a bidder at
even the appraised value, low at the
time, were eagerly fought for on the
steps of the court house this morning.
when four S0-acre tracts in the north
west section of the valley sold for $32,-

The bidding was spirited and each
tract sold for several hundred dollars
more than the appraised value John
Scherman, who bought one tract. for
$500, plus improvements, sold his land
a few hours afterward at an advance OF
$500. The town property in section SO,
consisting of 16 four and half-acre
tracts, sold rapidly after the country
property was disposed of. Half Of the
tracts sold for the appraised value Of
1916, but as high a price of $1,505, or
little over $500 an acre. was realized
for land near the city. This is a rec
ord. Other tracts near the city APP

The buffers. cooks and other ser

There are any number of rumors,
vague charges and dark hints as to
the extent of this practice which adds
quite a bit to the living costs.
In New York. Philadelphia, Pitts

Systematically forced to pay more for
their provisions than the market

wealthy people are open in their
charges that their domestic staffs re-

commissions. from the tradespeople of
the city, which of course, add to the
complained about slow payment of
bills, the victims turned upon them.
The merchants who have been giving
the secret commissions to servants
profess to be heartily in sympathy
with the movement to do away with
the practice. There are laws against
bribery in all the states and against
the giving and taking of secret COM
missions in many, but the difficulty in
securing proof has initiated against
enforcement of the Jaws.

when he was a student. After living

Nine Parat. who tainted during the
story of her terrible sufferings, told
the judge that her husband was un-
faithful to her, and was in the habit
of boasting of it. His idea. she said
was to drive her mad "One day he

am sure is not my child. Come and

and on a table was a set Of surgical in
struments. I thought he had really
killed her. said the wife. ut was
simply a pretense to terrify me. An
dree had simply been chloroformed."
Nine. Parat declared also that it was
not true that she consented to wear
her chains. Some time ago her hus-
band compelled her to write letter
in which she said, Let no one be ac-
cused of my death. I have committed
suicide"
The victim declared that it was time

THINNING NEAR AT HAND
Hood River Will Need 1000 to 1000
Hands

HOOD RIVER, Ore, April 3.-At the
annual meeting of the Hood River APP
plegrOWers' union, which was held yes
terday, it was stated that the crop this
year would. reach 100000 boxes and
that in four weeks from 1000 to 1000
employees would be necessary to thin
the fruit.
A resolution adopted fixed the price
of marketing the apples this year at 10
cents a box, instead Of 5 cents, in order
to handle the big crop properly. Strong
recommendations were made FOR i'm
provementS in pack and grading. AL
though the big meeting of growers was
unanimously in favor of adopting a
plan to pay the directors for their SER
vices for the coming year, which never
has been done before, the directors de-
clined to accept any remuneration and
fought the motion on the floor until it
was lost.
A letter from Representative Mawley,
read in the meeting, said that the La
fean bill had not been reported and
was considered dead. The new board
of directors elected consists of G.. H.

INDIANA REPUBLICANS ARE
ANXIOUS TO STOP CONTEST
Republican Convention Next Tuesday
May Precipitate War on
Tariff Measure.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 3-To
prevent contest on the floor of the
Indiana republican convention next
Tuesday over the adoption of a plat
form endorsing the Payne-Aldrich
tariff, conferences were held here to-
day by leaders of the party.
Senator Albert j. Beveridge, who
voted against the tariff bill, and who
Is candidate for reelection next
year, is opposed, it is said, to the con-
vention endorsing the law but he and
Lis supporters are in favor of passing
resolutions declaring in favor of the
principle of protection, that being as
far as they care to go.
1t is said authoriatively that they
viii carry into the convention, if nee
essary, their fight against a resoluL
ton endorsing the Payne-Aldrich
measure. To prevent such an expos
which it is feared would have an i'll
effect on the fortunes of the candi-
dates in the state elections next fall,
the leaders are inclined to avoid in
the convention any discussion Of the
Payne Aldrich law.
Yet there are several influential
leaders who not only believe that
President Taft's administration should
be endorsed. but that the Payne Aid
rich bill should be commended as a
step toward fulfllment of the pledge
that there should be downward re-
vision of the tariff.
