he had endured 1t all. though 1t must
have borne on him most heavily!
How kind he had been to her! He
had not even spoken Of himself, though
he must have known the shadows
were closing over his head.
In the gray hours Of the morning
she wrote him. She dared not put
the perils into words. but she i'm.
piled them. She vaguely threatened:
and she implored him to go, avoiding
them all, herself more than any: and,
quaking at the possibility that he
might, after all. overcome her, she de.
clared that before he went she would
not see him again. She closed with
the forbidden statement that whether
he stayed or went, at the end of three
days she would make sure disposal
OF the ring. She put all this In reck.
less black and white and sent It by
the hand Of Shima. Then she waited.
She waited, In hen little isolation,
with the sapphire always hung about
her neck, waited with what anticipa.
ton Of marvellous results-avowals
ideal farewells, or possibly some in.
credible transformation of the grim
face of the business. And the answer
was silence.

seemed poor indeed, absorbed only In
petty considerations, and seeing every.
thing down the narrow vista Of the

young girls course through the room,
easy to trace by her shining blond
head, and the unusual deliciousness Of
her muslin gown. She stopped be-
side two women, and with a certain
sense Of pleasure and embarrassment
Flora recognized one of them-Mrs.
Herrick. She caught the lady's eye
and bowed. Mrs. Herrick smiled,
with a gracious inclination in which

1t gave Flora the sense Mrs. Her.

OF protection. Of security. and the pos.
sibility of friendship finer than she had
ever known. She started forward.
But Mrs. Herrick. presenting instantly
her profile, drew the young girls

away.
Flora WINGED as II she had received

heard the same gossip of her had
been, on account Of it, all the more
amused and anxious to talk to her.
She felt herself judged-judged
from the outside, it is true-but still
there was justice in it. She had been
flying in the face of custom, ignoring
common good behavior, in short,
sticking to her own convictions In de.

pay the penalty--the l,ss of the pos.
sibility of such a friend.
But 1t was hard, she thought, to pay
the price without getting the thing
she had paid for. 1t was more like a
gamble In which she staked all on a
chance. And never had this chance

now. For II Kerr valued the ring more

He was playing her own trick on

Fair Committee
Holds Fleeting
Executive Board In Session Settles
Upon Premium List. coun-
ty Must Unite.

The executive committee of the
Fair association met last Tuesday
light in the office of \. C. Miller,
and settled uponthe premium list for
the coming WGllowa county fair.
The list will be printed and sent
forth in due time. In comparison
with the lists OF other fairs. that
decided upon by theboard at this
meeting holds first rank, and the
premiums are much higher than
those offered by older and more
widely advertised county fairs.
In interview with an Enterprise
business man it was properly stated
that it as important to keep before
the residents of the county the fact
that this is Wallowa county move
ment, in which every resident has an
interest at stake" That is the
spirit that will make the fair a sue
cess from the start. Every farmer
or rancher in the county can so adj
vertise the county agriculturally and
otherwise, by placing his produce
on exhibition, that rapid settlement
and increased value of farm lands
will be most logical climax. Thus
the success OF the WallOwa county
fair while depending in a wide meas
ure upon the farmer, will ultimately
benefit the farmer perhaps more
than any other resident. And it
ought to benefit him. He is the
man by whose toll we all have bread
and meat, wool and clothing, fuel
an, comfort. Moreover, it is plain
that the farming portion of the
county is awake to the Importance
of holding the greatest fair in our
history this fall.

THE HATLEsHlP FLORIDA.

For a moment the United States
| possesses the largest murder machine
in the world. 1t will not hold this
advanced position long. A half doz-
en- other nations are straining TO
build bigger and more perfect instru-
ments for man-hlling.
Today, however, the palm rests
with the United States. When the
Florida is completed she will be able
to hurl more murderous projectiles
and destroy more property in a min
ute than any other piece of 'mechan-
ism on earth.
Her construction Is a measure of
the progress that has been made in
constructing these Instruments of de-
.struction. We are told that with
every broadside she will hurl more
tons of metal than Dewey's whole
fleet could throw when he sailed in
to Manila bay'in 1898.
That was twelve years ago, and
every ship in Dewey's fleet is now
SO much junk. ship which can be
whipped is junk. A ship which can
not injure another vessel Is worse
than junk. Every increase in the
size of ships, every improvement in
armor or armament, makes junk out
of all previous material.
The Florida created lot of junk.
The workers of the United States
are paying for that junk. They are
paying for the ships that make junk
of the older vessels.
Suppose the money that has been
invested in a navy were used in the
building of big, beautiful, safe excur-
sion steamers to sail out of the har-
bors of the great cities on the ocean
and the inland lakes. 1t would be
possible to take every sick child
and every worn-out mother for a
good, long vacation trip that would
save thousands of lives each year.
We believe that would be better
way to spend the money.

cover.
She will carry a crew of some
what over 900 men. These men are
irawn from the young, vigorous men
1f the country. Each Of these men,
with the improved machinery and
wonderful facilities for production
that we now have, is worth, at low
| estimate, fifteen hundred dollars In
i productive power per year; $1,350, 900
! or for the ten years that 1t will take
this mass of meal to work its way tC
the junk pile, $13,5O0.000.
Let us take the cost of the vessel
and go to the slums of Chicago, clean
out 1900 of the foul disease-breeding
novels in which the wealth-producers
of our nation are condemned to live,
purchase the material for that many
clean, beautiful | cottages and set
these 900 men at work building them.
Would 1t not transform your city
! from hell into an earthly paradise?
We are using up our coal at
rate that will exhaust our supply
in a period variously estimated at
from 300 to 500 years. After a while
We shall probably send this great
vessel round the world to show 9TH
er nations what wond erful people
tor what big fools) we are. In that
voyage we shall use up enough coal
to run dozen ordinary factories a
whole year
Then they viii anchor OFF some
rocky bluff and have some little ar
tillary practice for amusement. Ev-
cry time they shoot one of those big
guns they will shoot away the value
of snail farm or a good cottage
home for a worker.
And perhaps worse than all else,
these men who are imprisoned on
this useless tub for five years or so,
will be so demoralized by idleness as
to unfit them for any active service
in the industrial field for their nat
ural lives. Besides, all their initellec-
'tual, all their inventive power will
be lost to the country.
Truly, we are set of idiotic luluss
to permit such system. In a thou
sand years the people then on earth
Will look upon us about as we look
upon the savage that lay in wait
with his club to- knock his fellow be-
ing on the head and put him in the
soup kettle.
