CHAPTER xxxiil.
Duty.


The stir of the town over the shoot
ing Of Banks seemed to Marion. In her
distress, to point an accusing finger at
her. The disgrace of what she had
felt herself powerless to prevent now
weighed on her mind. and she asked
herself whether, after all, the respon-
sibility OF this murder was not upon
her. Even putting aside this painful
doubt she bore the name of the man
who had savagely defied accountable
ty and now, 1t seemed to her, was
dragging her with him through the
slough of blood and dishonor into
which he had plunged.
The wretched thought would return
that had she listened to him, had she
consented to go away. this outbreak
might have been prevented. And what
horror might not another day bring
what lives still closer to her life be
taken? For herself she cared less;
but she knew that Sinclair. now that
he had begun, would not stop. In
whichever way her thoughts turned,
wretchedness was upon them, and the
day went in one of those despairing
and indecisive battles that each one
within his own heart must fight at
times with heaviness and doubt.
McCloud called her over the tele-
phone in the afternoon to say that he
was going west on the evening train
and would not be over for supper.
She wished he could have come, for
her loneliness began to be insupport-
able.
Toward sunset she put on her hat
and started for the postoffice. In the
meantime, Dicksie, at home, had
called McCloud up and told him she
was coming down for the night. He
Immediately Cancelled his plans for
going west, and when Marion returned
at dusk she found him with Dicksie
at the cottage. The three had supper.
Afterward Dicksie and McCloud went
out for a walk. and Marion was alone
in the house when the shop door
opened and Whispering Smith walked
in. 1t was dusk.
Don't light the lamps, Marion" he
said. sitting down on counter-stool

manded McCloud, as Marion came in
from the dining room.
Don't search me the very first
thing" protested Whispering Smith.

that fruit frozen in shipment in ordi-
nary cars. are dependent upon the
records, as the railroad first ascer-
tains what kind of weather the ship
ment encountered. and regulates the
defense accordingly. 1t often hap
pens that the products were injured
or damaged before shipment.
These are some of the instances
where the records of the weather bu-
reau are useful in the courts. Other
special benefits are those TO railway
and transportation companies. who
make use OF the forecasts in all OF
casts and cold wave warnings are
closely watched by brewers, wine
makers and manufacturers OF soft
drinks. With notice of an approach
ing cold wave, greenhouses are closed
and boilers fired. Fire plugs, eX-
posed mains and general plumbing are
protected. Gasoline engines are
drained. Work in concrete is stopped.
Brewing companies take care OF ex-
posed ammonia condensers and water
connections. Gas companies turn a
larger amount OF gas into their lines
to provide for increased consumption,
and coal dealers make extra efforts TO
supply their customers.
Candy Depends on weather.
One of the large candy manufac-
turers OF the city is dependent on the
temperature forecasts, particularly IN
summer. when he must allow for ex-
cessive heat in keeping chocolate from
failing down" This is especially
true in making shipments TO Los An
geles. where the preparation of the
chocolate depends largely upon the
weather.
The weather bureau is also COM
monty used as a bureau of informa-
ton. One man wanted TO know how
to build a chicken coop on the north
side of a 5-fOot solid board fence so
that it would be entirely in the sun
the year round. He was told by the
officials of the bureau how far away
to build IL from an accurate cOmputa-
ton. A similar case was that of one
of the city churches which needed a
skylight built so that It would get the
sunlight as much as possible.
The manager OF the Union Pacific
Coal company at Cheyenne commonly
uses the weather maps to determine
where coal will be most needed, and
thus regulates his shipments. He
telephones the coal districts to rush
coal wherever a cold wave is pre-
dicted
Perhaps the most amusing local case
is that of the girl who would not be
married on a rainy day, but when as
sured by the bureau that the skies
would be bright at 8 o'clock at night
went ahead with the wedding In
gratitude the young couple reused the
weather man from sleep that night to
give him a slice OF the wedding cake.

A resent case depending upon the

caused the explosion. and the case was
